    Pruning/trimming scissors

    I have a pair of the Chikamasa B-500SLF scissors and was wondering if I can sharpen these? I tried finding some info about them online but the Japanese company doesn't have much in terms of documentation and I am starting to get to the point where the leaves I am cutting are simply clamping down...

    Deficiency or burn?

    Growing some peak seeds variety that I cut a clone and grew out in an organic mix with some chicken manure & earthworm casting amendments. The top of the plant has been showing signs of what seems like calcium deficiency and possibly magnesium deficiency lower on the plant. I've given the plant...

    Is this plant revegging?

    I was running this blue mammoth auto that wouldn't trigger under regular light but then I put it into flower lighting for a couple weeks, had to move it to clear some room and put it back under a different light but longer hours (16 instead of 12). Now, Ive grown other autos where Ive had to...

    Spacing for plants

    So I have some raised beds and would like to plant 4 regular autos this season for seed production (hoping I get at least 1 male & female) and I'm wondering what kind of spacing I should have between plants. If I'm going for seed production, can they be relatively close (within say a foot of one...

    Sexing plants

    So I've grown a handful of regular seeds out and would like to know what would be the simplest way of determining the sex of the plants without putting the entire plant into flower. I read that putting clones in water under 12/12 would work but my plants don't seem to stay alive for more than a...

    Plant reveg - light intensity?

    Does the intensity of the light matter? I'm asking this because I have a bubba kush that I'm about to harvest but I have 0 room in the veg area for it as those slots are being filled by younger and different strains. I do however have a space I could put it under ~25w CFL light bulbs. There...

    Clogged carbon filter

    I'm curious if there's a way to clean a filter that is seemingly clogged. I notice the air flow is down enough that my humidity has been steadily creeping up in my tent. When I take the filter off the fan works as it should. The filter is nearing about 1 year of use but despite the lower CFM...

    ACMPR and Health Canada

    So I stumbled on to someone's retweet of someone else where they're claiming that HC is actively letting the police know that people are growing. https://twitter.com/CannabisNews/status/969286947511455744 I thought there was some level of confidentiality but it looks like they're snitching...

    Autos made seeds... what happened?

    So I pulled two a few autos from my garden today (Great White Shark and 3 White Yoda) as they were finishing up and I noticed 2 of the Yoda and the GWS had seeds. Not a ton of seeds but every bud site had about 1 or 2 pods. The bud otherwise finished fine and has a good 15-20% amber trichome...

    Prescriptions

    I have an appointment with a doc next week to get prescribed cannabis for a host of issues but I was wondering if anyone could give me insight into how these doctors decide the daily amounts you're allowed to have. I'm in Canada so as part of getting the prescription, you can then get a growing...

    runoff pH

    How important is runoff pH? I have 2 plants of the same strain in separate containers made from the same soil comprised of promix hp, 2 tbsp/gal dolomitic limestone, perlite, some sheep manure as top dressing and bone meal sprinkled under the roots before transplanting. I fed maxibloom at 6.5pH...

    Any info on Promix new nutrient line?

    Some of the local hardware shops have started selling Promix nutes which I can't seem to find any kind of information on beyond store stocks. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with them? I think this is a Canada only product for now but I'm wondering if it's similar to General Hydro...

    "400w" cob led panel

    I got one of these from a friend. It draws 200w actual and have no clue how high from the canopy I should be keeping it. It looks like one of these. I've been using an HID up to this point but my friend loaned me this to try.

    Summer 16 northern climate attempt

    So this year I decided to put some plants outside to try my hand at outdoor growing. I picked a nice spot out of the way and somewhere I could get to relatively easily on a regular basis. I had access to a bunch of clones from Girl Scout Cookies and Congo strains that I had no means of growing...

    Question about drying time

    So I have a clone that I'm getting ready to cut down and was wondering what I should be watching out for in terms of drying time. My first plant, that I harvested last year, finished ok but I ended up drying it too long some of it had that hay/grassy smell to it. Most of it went into edibles...

    Question about soil drying

    I was trying to find some info out there about soil drying between watering. A few of my plants, as they progressed further along into flower (week 6+), start to take longer and longer before the top of the soil dries even with proper air flow and temperatures. Do the roots not consume as much...

    How long is too long to flower?

    This is my first grow and I'm looking for veterans and noobies alike opinion. So I have couple plants that are ~13/14 weeks into flower and all the normal signs that I was looking out for never really showed. The trichomes on the GSC (girl scout) I have are milky to clear, the leaves from the...
