This sounds like a 'harvesting' question, but I'm curious specifically about the experiences of the outdoor growing community: Some have claimed they keep their outdoor harvest until a few months after the autumn rush. The market trends higher in late winter and into spring, but how can you...

Is there any serious danger of 'cross-contamination' with outdoor plants negatively impacting nearby indoor grows because of: -pests -pathogens -pollen? I would imagine the main vector would be ventilation, as in bugs, spores and/or pollen coming in through the ventilation system.

What's up with this WiFi clone? BEFORE: (top-left) Three days ago, it went into a #3 Smart Pot containing a 50/50 mix of hydroton and Sushine #4. The SS4 was soaked and the cuts watered in with a 350ppm solution of No Shock (5ml/gal). It looked great at the start of Veg Day 1. AFTER...

I'd like to invite a discussion on the best training methods for different plants. For example, I've seen GDP so dense with nodes you wouldn't want to top it, whereas an OG isn't going to do as well in a SOG setup. What have been your experiences with different strains and their 'preferred'...

Trying to save on mileage, you know :bigjoint: Places in the Bay I'm considering include: Harborside Medicinal Organic Nursery Urban Farm Center Does anywhere in/closer to Sac have comparable quality and variety?

In the process of buying seeds, I was thinking about the best flowers I've tried. One strain was exclusive to El Camino Wellness Center in Sacramento: AVATAR OG. It's one of their 'private reserve' $60 strains and I like everything about it. I have, however, (because of some of the things...

How many seeds from one strain would you need to pop to find an 'elite' keeper? I've read commercial growers say they top-grade as many as 100 at a time to find the best of the bunch. This isn't practical for me given the MSRP of these 6 and 10 packs, so I'm curious to learn how other people...

A friend and I were talking a couple weeks or so ago about how we'd seen a suspiciously large amount of traffic in and around the 'former' All About Wellness on 19th and (fuck, what is it, S?) in Sacramento, and then the other day another homie of mine was headed south and we saw the same thing...

My last grow was similar to the first in that I made a bunch of mistakes and learned a ton about this plant as a result. It was dissimilar in the sense that popping my own seeds in round two led to finding an extra frosty Kushberry pheno, one that I'll be growing six (or seven) plants for this...

If a grower were to pop a relatively large number of seeds, say about 50 (or 100 to account for males), could s/he accurately judge the quality of the plant with little to no veg time? In other words, if 50 female seedlings were placed immediately in 12/12, would the final product have any...

Hey RIU, I'm planning to move to a new home soon, and need to know a few things about rentals. My understanding is that in California, 24 hours notice is required for any kind of inspection or showing -- basically anything that involves one of 'their' people entering my home. I plan to use a...

Anyone in the Sacramento area want a hardworking, reliable apprentice? I'll do grunt work for free in exchange for help dialing in my own garden. I'm a legal patient halfway through my second grow, and though I've made major strides, I know I can learn even that much more from an experienced...

After seeing the premiere of Weed Wars, I'm starting to think I've maybe been a bit too safe and cut myself off from some potentially helpful relationships. I'm a legal California patient, but have been extremely cautious so far. No one knows about my garden except my wife and presumably, the...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laBuBysHVNE Let me start from the beginning at the top of the list . . . Actually, let's go back even before the beginning, to a scenario that did indeed involve me and havoc. Situation like this: Started this June with clones from four different strains. 707...

When growing huge multi-pound trees outside, do the buds on the inside that receive indirect/diffused light grow inferior to the ones with most direct sun exposure? Any differences in potency, density, appearance, smell or any other qualities?

A bit confused on this one, guys, hope someone can lend me some wisdom. This Super Lemon Haze bush is about 30" tall and now in day 5 of flower. It's about 10-12" away from a 600" HPS, temp at the canopy 73-78, nighttime lows ~68. This plant has some yellowing and necrosis on the lowest...

BEFORE (10/15): AFTER (10/18): The photo evidence should be an open and shut case, but it happened so quickly, I want to be certain in case there's something I could do here. I've been using Neem Oil foliar sprays every couple waterings during veg to keep the plants fortified...

Is my understanding of powdery mildew accurate? My operating belief is that because spores are ubiquitous, you cannot totally eradicate PM threat unless in a sealed environment with filtered intake. PM can be effectively eliminated with good ventilation/airflow, low humidity and foliar sprays...

I've had similar problems on rockwool and in Fox Farm Light Warrior. This is in FFLW, with ~5.5pH water, cuttings dipped in Clonex and held under a humidity dome for about 2 weeks: What's going on here?

Couple issues here: 1. New leaves considerably lighter, more so than normally. Their lighter color isn't even; the outer fringes are darker like the lower, surrounding leaves. Is this the early stages of a deficiency or other problem? 2. A few leaves at the bottom are yellowing. I...
