It's almost always a matter of pH lockout. No idea what Lowe's potting soil is....but my guess is probably not great....and likely to be acidic (since most people who would buy potting soil from Lowe's are probably using it to start their tomatoes). I'd like to see the label on that bag to check...

If you like LIME terps, then I'd recommend "Slymer" from Bob Bitchen. It's very, very terpy. I think the strain originates from a phenotype of TGA Subcool's "Chernobyl." It really depends on which terpene profile you are interested in, though. There's lots of limonene and pinene strains (that...

It sure seems like it! A cute, little bud tender girl was trying to sell me on some strain and she told me, "This one makes me SO horny!"....LOL! I guess she must have thought that an old guy like me, would find that an attractive sales pitch. She was probably a stripper. Anyway...There's no...

I think most of the people my age (66) or older, aren't that impressed with the cup-winning, commercially-popular strains of today. I WANTED to believe that once weed became legal, too, because then we would have easy-access to all the favorite varieties of weed that we used to have to wait...

*Vegetative stage: 12 hours ON 5-1/2 hours OFF 1 hour ON 5-1/2 hours OFF ^^^This method is known as The Gas Lantern Routine.^^^ *If I want bigger plants, then I can keep them vegging as long as I want with this routine. However, in my tent, I have found that 12/12 from seed works better. I...

Absolutely spot-on!^^^^ @cdgmoney250! When I first got my medical card back in the day, I was expecting to be blown away at the quality and variety of all the different strains. In reality, what a big "nothing-burger" it was. All of it was pretty mediocre in comparison to some of the "illegal"...

Outdoors, there probably isn't anything better than natural soil -or what I would call dirt. You can add manures, meals, compost, worms, fungi, etc.....and it will just keep getting better and better as time goes on. It will balance itself.... ...however, indoors is a whole different approach...

The biggest problem for me, in regards to organic ferts, is that they aren't broken down as quickly or as well as when they are able to be acted upon by other natural components -like earthworms and soil microbes and "critters" that expedite the process. Indoors, I like to keep things absolutely...

It's all about genetics. If you have to blame fertilizers for being the "make it or break it" factor in your weed being good or not, then I think it's a copout. The same arguments are often made for "indoor vs outdoor" weed. The outdoors guys say that the Sun is providing spectra that can't be...

Unlikely that you need to add CalMag...Depends on your water/fertilizer...Plant should be in a Solo cup until you see roots at the drain holes. Strong roots are an indication that the plant is healthy. Feed every watering. Transplant into final container after Solo cup is well-rooted. Give it...

I noticed the same thing happening in flower. For whatever the reason(s), the runoff water is noticeably more acidic in flower. I think it's pretty normal but often goes unnoticed. As the plant finishes building the flowers, the roots start to shed root hairs and the color of the runoff water...

Honestly, the kind of light fixture stops being relevant....COBs, chips, tubes, bulbs....Weed will grow under all of them. Depending on the starting genetics and your skill as a grower, results may vary. I have (had) every kind of light and I've grown all kinds of weed under them. Sometimes, the...

I think you mean '25/'26.....lol. I was expecting some super tall plants when I opened this topic....looool! :)

ApacheTech has a nice bar light, now. They also have the same old design lights they were selling 10 years ago, too! LOL!...but nice lights all the same.
