I was wondering if there is any benefit to buying directly from breeders rather than from resellers? Are you more likely to get fresher seeds or a better selection from breeders? I notice that resellers often offer stealth shipping where they take the seeds out of their packaging and mail the...

For years, I have been trying to find a small (6-7 inch diameter) oscillating fan for my grow tent that was reliable, but the oscillation always breaks down after a time. A steady fan on the plants can produce windburn, so I avoid non-oscillating fans. The bigger fans are more robust, but I...

Has anyone grown this strain in soil? The seeds are feminized photoperiods from Original Sensible Seeds What were your opinions about its potency and yield? Did it stretch a lot? Thanks for any advice.

I have been disappointed with the size of my plants recently and was wondering if I am watering them wrong? I worry that I am taking the idea of letting them get very dry and then watering to runoff too far. The advice is to check the dryness of the pot soil by using your finger up to the third...

I noticed that they have a bud of the month contest here, and was wondering if there was a roots of the month contest? These are from a photoperiod plant grown in a 30L bubble bucket in about 25L of nute solution with a big airstone. I was careful to keep any light out of the bucket and the...

Has anyone grown the Incredible Bulk from Dr Krippling seeds, and if so, what did you think of the grow and the quality of the strain? Thanks for any opinions.

I have to go out of town for 2 days during the 7th week of flower of some photoperiod plants. I currently have them on a 12/12 light from 7am to 7pm lights off. I am worried about electrical problems if I am away, so I was wondering if keeping the lights off for 2 days will damage them or mess...

I have read that you should wait until the soil feels dry down to your knuckle or the pot should feel light before watering again, and then to always water to runoff of about 10%. This seems to work better with smaller pots that dry out quicker, but in larger pots, the soil can feel dry well...

Some of the lower fan leaves have started doing this in the last week. The plant has 3-4 weeks to go. Any ideas what it might be? Thanks for any advice.

My Essentials EC meter normally gives me an EC readout in the 1.6 to 2.3 range for my hydro nutes with a small symbol next to it (ms), and it calibrates fine to the 2.8 ms standard, but sometimes it gives me a reading of .19 for my nute solution (without the ms symbol showing) when I know it...

I noticed when I mixed my canna aqua nutes for a hydro bucket, the solution looked cloudy and with fine particles floating in the water. The nute solution turned clear as I set the pH, but there was a bit of particle sludge lying at the bottom of the bucket. When I stirred it, the little...

I have noticed that when I mix nutes for a bubble bucket using canna aqua nutes, the solution becomes cloudy and has little solid particles that seem to have precipitated out of the solution after a while. I fill a bucket with tap water and let it sit for a few days getting to the correct...

When going from veg to flower, we switch to 12/12 light, but keep giving veg nutes until we see the buds starting then switch to bloom nutes. We also change lights from MH to HPS. my question is- when do you change the MH to HPS? as soon as you switch to 12/12? Or when you see buds forming and...

I am doing a bubble bucket grow in a tent and the plant is now about 2-3 weeks old and was doing very well. The setup was steady with the average rez temps around 17-20C and the tent temps around 16-27C with a 600w MH lamp on a 21/3 hour cycle during veg. The humidity was more fluctuating...

I noticed an odd thing today and was worried about having hurt the plant. I mixed up fresh nutes to replace the bubble bucket and when I checked the pH it was high (7.8) so I brought it down to 5.7 with a few drops of pH down. But when I did the same thing after having the air stones running in...

I have come across conflicting advice on how to count nodes for topping a plant. One says to count the first serrated leaf set as node 1 and others say to count the first triple leaf set as node 1. What do growers here tend to count as the first node? And do you recommend cutting after the stem...

I did a hydro grow in a single bubble bucket once before that came out very well and I was going to try again but I've been reading about the development of beneficial bacteria and it seems at odds with what I did before. My habit before was that I changed the nute bucket every week and started...

I just finished a disappointing grow which got seeded by some hermie in the tent. All the plants had seeds. Now I am about to start a new grow and would like to make sure there is no stray pollen in the tent to contaminate the new grow.. Can I wipe the walls and surfaces down with anything that...

I unfortunately got some hermies this time and the harvest is full of seeds. It's a pain to de-seed the buds before smoking, but it's great pot and worth the effort. My question is about making cannabutter. I normally use the shake and grind it up, decarb it in the oven, then simmer it in butter...

This question is for people who grow pot plants for seeds. I was wondering if seed production tends to affect bud development or yield compared to unfertilized plants. Does a plant tend to keep making more and more buds if it isn't getting fertilized? Does it tend to slow down making more buds...
