    Romulan genetics

    I looked to see if there’s already a thread and couldn’t find one. I just ordered a pack of the Romulan “BX” (apparently actually a cross of the original Romulan cut and a Romulan f4 male) with “berning cap” (runtz/MAC1 x Romulan) freebies on sale. I’ve always been a huge Trek fan and used to...

    High rule genetics

    I’ve seen a few passing mentions of his gear on here and I think it’s time to start a thread. I’m going to be getting a bunch of his gear wet once I move a few things into the flower tent. All of the posts on here and IG I’ve seen of people running his gear are quite impressive. Don’t mind the...

    Dialing in my aero cloner

    I’ve been running an aero cloner for about a year and a half now with satisfactory, but only satisfactory results. Some of my phenos root really well, some are stubborn, and some just don’t do anything. I’ve been evaluating my setup lately and recently started running DTW coco. I bought a really...

    Is silicic acid worth it?

    I’ve been using pro-tekt at 3ml per gallon for a long time now, but I’ve recently been reading about silicic acid formulas like mills vitalize and power Si. They’re absurdly expensive. The skeptic in me says it’s all hype and I’m not going to see a difference switching from potassium silicate...

    Any idea what this is?

    This has happened to varying degrees on 3 plants from this pack of beans. There are no bugs that I can see, and this almost looks more like some sort of pathogen. I isolated the most severely affected one already. I’m hoping someone can identify what this is and what to do about it. Also worth...

    Arctic blast bringing 25 degree lows to my area Monday night.

    We’re getting a serious cold snap on Monday, and all my outdoor plants that are growing in the ground still need at least 2 weeks. I bought a bunch of 3/4” PVC and 4 mil plastic and made a little cold frame. I need to add more PVC to brace it better, but this was a rush job. It looks shitty from...

    Burned one of my plants with granular fertilizer.

    So I burned one of my plants. This was a stupid, inexcusable mistake and I should not have added that handful of granular nutes when I transplanted. Now she’s got nitrogen burn. I haven’t had any meaningful experience with this in the past, because I haven’t done this since I was just starting...

    What traits should I look for when selecting males and females to reverse?

    So I’m all set up to start chuckin. I set up an isolated, negative pressurized tent that exhausts directly outside and now I’m starting to select potential phenos for breeding. I’ve selected two males so far based on stem rub smell, vigor, branching, and node spacing. Are there any other things...

    What’s your favorite solder for building lights?

    I’m almost through my roll of genuine Radio Shack solder, and I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to find any more of this stuff, lol. Before I start pestering electrical engineers I follow on Instagram, I thought I’d ask here. I’ve tried all the solder available at Lowe’s. None of it flows worth a...

    Considerations for a small breeding tent.

    I’ve gotten really interested in doing some chucks lately. I’ve found enough kickass females that I think it’s time to try reversing some of them, and much more recently I’ve found a couple really promising looking males. I’ve totally immersed myself in this for the past 2 years. It’s time to...

    Just picked up a qb96 but haven’t picked the driver yet

    I’ve decided to set up one last little 2x2 tent for chucks, and this looks like the perfect little light. Going by HLG’s site, it looks like you can run a single board off of up to a 185h-54. That seems like a little much for seed runs in a 2x2 tent. This is going to be my first foray into...

    Systemic spinosad and ladybugs

    I’ve noticed a few spider mites in my flower tent. I’ve been doing my best at manually removing infested leaves. I also treated the soil with nematodes and sprayed the tent with spinosad once. I’ve been keeping them under control, but I haven’t been able to eradicate them so the next thing I’m...

    Why is defoliation so controversial?

    Things got a little heated in another thread when I and another poster put up some pics of our defoliation. He “schwazzed” the plant and I did something much less extreme. This caused one of the main forum admins to come in and speak out against defoliation, with no small amount of derision...

    Thrips?

    These white spots on these leaves have been bugging me for a while. I know deep down they’re thrips and I’m setting up the air compressor and HLVP sprayer in a few minutes and giving everything a good blast of spinosad. I don’t know much about these little fuckers, and this is my first run-in...

    Anyone here use parafilm?

    I used to use that green plastic wrapped wire for tying my plants down. I noticed it was partially girdling some of my branches and I’m not okay with that. Without too much unnecessary backstory I used to grow mushrooms and would seal my petri dishes with parafilm. It allows for gas exchange...

    Cookie Crunch pheno hunt

    This strain is an F1 of do-si-dos and stardawg from Greenpoint. I still haven’t done a good cookie strain so I’m correcting that with this grow. I bought a pack of regular seeds and popped all of them in rockwool. 10/10 germinated. I culled one that didn’t look good. It was really lanky and...

    Spinosad or Bt?

    It’s getting to be the time of year when pests move into the outdoor garden. Last year my outdoor crop got ravaged by caterpillars and this year I want to prevent them with something natural and non-toxic, and from what I can tell that’s either spinosad or Bt. I haven’t had any problems with...

    I put some prefilters in my tent intake and it gave me an idea.

    I’ve been having a lot of trouble with dog hair getting sucked into my tent and stuck to my colas. I’ve also been having a lot of trouble with heat and low humidity in my brutal New Mexico summer. I put these prefilters in the intake ports of my tent and it made me think I could take this a step...

    What happened to this plant and how do I prevent this in the future?

    I just chopped her yesterday and the buds didn’t seems to be affected, but around the end of week 8 of flowering the fan leaves started getting fried. It started out with little spots that suggested a deficiency, but I didn’t feel like feeding near the 60 day mark. Some of the leaves got just a...

    Females with whorled phyllotaxy

    Just learned about the proper name for this trait the other day thanks to the forum admin. I’ve also read it’s much more common in males. I’ve had this crop up on two plants so far. One of them is a sprout, and one of them I just harvested. Thought it was weird that this cut has that triangular...
