cystolith hairs (non capitate trichomes)

Not really, I just didn't want you to try to get all the moisture out thinking it was a good thing. When you first harvest the seeds they will be wet and moist inside. You will need to let them firm up in low 20-30% humidity. When they are firm to the touch give them a couple more weeks, then...

Freezer bag in a mason jar stored in freezer. I have some that have been in there over a decade and still get 50-60% germination. They got to have a bit of moisture to stay viable.

That is good news. Its probably a deep well, sealed from runoff. The water should stay consistent from season to season. With the low ph its probably a mineral/metal issue. The UV won't help with metal/mineral issues.

At some point you will need to solve the well water problem. Hauling water will be a hassle. Is your pump inside the well or external? Does your well cover look sealed? Is the water ever cloudy?

Growth on sativas happen near the end of flowering. They will explode and fill in soon. I grow a Hawaiian strain that always flowers late but worth the extra 2 weeks. I have better luck with HPS lights on sativa strains. 1000w during veg and in the middle of flowering i cut it back to 750w.

Looks like you are growing a sativa strain. Be patient they take longer than Indica strains. You got this much time invested whats a couple more weeks.

Before you spend lots of money you really should get water from another source. Water 1 plant with it and see if it shuts off the problem. Probably still something in the water you haven't filtered out or compensated for. What type of well is it? Is the water consistent? Is there runoff...

I have read a few articles in the past about not allowing enough time in veg has an effect on thc content of the plant.

45 days of veg min. Plants will grow 1/3 more after you switch the lights back to 11-12 hrs of light. Heed the warning about light leaks and screwing with light cycles. Be patient and check daily. Sativa's can take a while before sexing. Typically they will show on the lower branches (3rd...

Harvesting at peak THC might not be the best tasting weed. Tirpens peak just before the tric's turn amber. You will always have a mix of clear/cloudy and amber tric's. Most agree the 30% amber rule will get you close. Pistol explosions can also factor into a good harvest time. If you wait too...

spore-klenz will kill the mold spores. Biomedical manufacturing uses it in there cleanrooms and HVAC units.

This was the ww if you guys dont see anything alarming I will keep it.

I think i was mistaking cystolith hairs for mold. 15 years of indoor growing I have never had mold/mildew issues. This year we switched from wood pellets to gas and the shit was all over. Didnt help I got the Flu around the critical pre-harvest time and didnt keep close enough watch. The...

thought I would use this side of the forum
