    LilDads Lil Grow 2024

    Getting back in the saddle prepping for April! Got some Night Owl seeds this year (much better than Growers Choice). It’s the “Pre 98 Episode 1” Autoflower. I gravitated to it because it’s indica heavy (70/30 indica/sativa), has a good mold resistance, and is very fast (to dodge the “dog...

    Strains: Afghan auto, Northern Lights auto, Skunk auto, Presidential OG auto Seeds: Growers Choice Grow Goal: 10% increase from last year. Sum total 66 grams since I got 60 grams last year. Started soaking seeds this morning! I’ve got four white fabric 5-gallon pots with Coast of Maine...

    Grove bags

    Has anybody used grove bags before? I’ve heard that they’re awesome for a 6-8 week cure before jarring, but I’ve also read stuff where folks use their grove bag as primary storage. What was y’all’s experience with them?

    Changing out jars?

    Hey folks, I caught one or two white flecks on my Afghan Autoflower I jarred up 7/27/22. Womp. Really, there was only one little bud and a quarter of an even smaller bud seeming to have been affected. I threw out the one bud and cut the molded part of the other one off. Waste is a bummer...

    Coco versus soil

    Hey folks! I’ve been thinking about my grow next year when I’m not tending to my wards, and I’ve been thinking about coco instead of soil. Here’s the general notion of my grow: - Auto-flowers (4 plants - indica heavy hybrids) - 7 gallon fabric pots - Outdoors in VA climate - I would like the...

    “Intermediate” Difficulty

    Hey folks! I ordered some new seeds for my outdoor Autoflower grow next year. I use Growers Choice since I have loyalty points from them, and I got the “Presidential OG,” strain. Apparently, this thing is a pig as it pertains to yield, but it was considered to be “on the easier end of the...

    Gummy recipe?

    Hey y’all! I’m thinking about doing a gummy this weekend with canna coconut oil. I’ve seen a ton of recipes and ultimately I’m going for something simple, quick, and generally mild resistant. I don’t want them super strong either. My wife is wanting to try them and she literally won a DARE...

    Pest Control

    Hey folks, My grow is done for this year, and I’m generally pleased with it! I’m brainstorming for next year, and I was wondering what y’all do for pest management for the following pests I’ve observed here in the RVA area: Leaf hoppers Thrips Sure, Spinosad would do the trick, but I used Dr...

    Pollenated Bud

    Me again. Sorry, not sorry. Was in trim jail this morning with my second Skunk autoflower and I got 19 mature seeds out of it. I never saw any male parts on the plant, so I was pleasantly surprised. It makes sense since the plant was pretty anemic and sad throughout its growth. I am sure...

    High CBD photoperiod grow

    Hey folks, Got through the first year of growing with success! Four harvested auto flowers with a total of around 65 grams. Obviously not glamorous, but considering that the last gardening I’ve done resulted in very dead basil plants, I’ll take this as a “W.” I’m thinking about doing a high...

    Left lids off overnight!

    I’m not a smart man. I left my jars open overnight. All of the weed in the jars was harvested at least two weeks ago and at most four weeks ago. I have humidity packs in there, but do not have hygrometers. What should I be looking for if this caused any problems with the cure or the...

    Drying Question

    This is likely a stupid question. So, I’ve got my Skunk Auto drying now, and I’m seeing a lot of sugar leaves getting brown and crispy. Since this didn’t happen on my other plants I’m thinking that it may have to do with this plant having yellowing leaves as it was chopped (the sugar leaves...

    Harvest Time (part ii)?

    Hey folks! I’ve got a Skunk Auto with a pretty dense main cola (planted 5/9, outdoor grow) and buds. Virginia is balmy as hell right now, which is my worry. I put the plants indoors at night and have been defoliating yellow fan leaves to free up the canopy so as to dodge bud rot. But I fear...

    Using trim?

    Hey folks! Hoping to make a coconut oil for my wife (never used before) with trim for my most recent harvest. How much oven-described trim would be the rough equivalent of one gram of flower? A weaker mixture is totally cool with me, but I don’t want to waste frozen trim.

    First harvest!

    Pretty puny, but first plant is in the jar (Afghan Kush Autoflower)! I feel like it could’ve used another day or so drying, but you use the time you’ve got with two kiddos under 3. Super stoked! The smell is awesome and I couldn’t have done any of it without you all!

    Curing

    Hey folks! Coming close to curing! I’m a doofus and accidentally got 8-gram two way humidity packs. If I use two or three of those packs in a large mason jar containing an ounce of weed, should that be alright?

    Bud Rot

    Hey folks, Just pruned a bud off this morning that has some bud rot on it from my Afghan Auto. She’s the one I referenced in my “Harvest Time?” Thread. The bud was a secondary flower near the main cola and this is an indica plant with big ol fat buds. There isn’t any sign of bud rot anywhere...

    Harvest Time?

    Hey folks! I’ve had my Afghan Auto in the pot since 5/9, and I won’t deny that it flowered early. I’m seeing some cloudy and amber trichomes now. How long do y’all think I have until harvest (I’m looking for some more amber trichomes for the “body high” type sensation).

    Lighter green plants

    Hey y’all! I’ve got another question! My Afghan Auto has a really nice emerald green, but my Gorilla Glue Auto and Skunk Auto are starting to look a little on the lighter green/yellow side (all have been in the ground for a month now). I’m trying to dodge nutes as the plants are in Ocean...

    Bugs?

    I noticed some white spots on one set of leaves in my Afghan Auto this afternoon. The plant has been in the ground for three weeks handling the VA climate (hot/humid and then long stints of rain) pretty well! Do y’all think this is a bug problem? Mold? Nothing? If it’s something, please help...
