    Budrot...chop early?

    I wanted to give these at least 2 more weeks but they're getting morning dew every day now. I've had to cut out rot on about 8 colas out of 40ish total in the garden, spraying with h202 on infection sites as well. The rot is progressing at about 2 new colas a day. Do you think I should risk...

    Anyone dealt with mealybugs or red scale or before?

    It looks like my lemon tree infestation has transferred over to my cannabis plants. I've only seen about 10 per plant so I'm picking them off as I see them, but I'm finding them mostly near buds. I'm curious if anyone else has successfully handled these while in flower? Oils are out of the...

    Low-yield but frosty strains

    Have you come across strains that have very low yields but are top notch flower in smell / frost / color? Pics welcome. I want to run a couple next year and because it's for personal use, I don't really need pounds of bud.

    Sirtalis' California Organic Outdoor 2021

    Whatsup RIU! Figured I should start documenting my grow in a thread rather than a personal journal. Entering flower now but better late than never! Here's the gang: Back mid = Zkittlez x T-1000 Back right = Secret Service (T-1000 x Obama Kush) Front left = Bubba Kush x T-1000 Front right =...

    4 more weeks?

    I botched the feeding on this little plant during early flowering, so it has small buds. Seems to be swelling but also might throw it's second round of pistils. What do you think, 4 or so more weeks?

    Effects of ISR/SAR at various weeks of flowering

    Hi seasoned growers, I recently dove into the rabbit hole of understanding ISR/SAR as a preventative for disease, and I noticed there is some conflicting anecdotal information about the timing and effects of using products that induce these responses. There seems to be real scientific evidence...

    Lower/inner leaves going limp

    On most of my plants there are a few lower leaves that have gone limp, while the rest of the plant is fine. Do plants selectively kill off low fan leaves that don't receive enough light? I've only really seen plants steal nitrogen from lower leaves, but never go limp like this. They're going...

    How often can I foliar spray Potassium Silicate?

    If you knew botrytis or PM spores were in your garden and got a bottle of potassium silicate, how often would you spray? I'm playing catch-up to prevent an outbreak but I don't know what would be considered too frequent of applications. Most people / companies say once a week but I've already...

    Looking for opinions on how to fight Botrytis: Immunox, Captan, Regalia, Liquid Copper etc.

    Hi guys, I grow outdoors in a very humid / foggy environment and almost all of my plants have gotten Botrytis. Currently I have 4 plants and veg and 1 in flower. The flowering plant has a new branch rotting per day, and I think it's starting to be a lost cause. What I'm hoping for is some...

    Fungus: do I spot treat or cut entire branch?

    It looks like after months of cloudy weather one of my plants has botrytis. Anyone with experience fighting botrytis: should I try to salvage this branch by spot treating or cut the branch out? It's the only branch on the plant that has visible mold. Any advice would be great. Part of me just...

    Iron deficiency?

    They seem to be growing fine, but this extreme yellow on new growth has me wondering. It's been this way a couple weeks and they eventually grow out of the yellow. Took pics right after seaweed foliar. Night temps are 50 F so it could be from the cold?

    Phosphorus excess?

    Not sure if this is too much phosphorus or not enough?

    Did I topdress too much?

    Curious if anyone has seen this type of yellowing on new leaves. They do seem to grow out of it, but it's pretty intense yellow. No burnt leaf tips. Organic soil mix I made. Topdressed with BAS Craft blend last week. A week later (today)

    What is this common discoloration during flowering?

    I feel like I see this in a lot of grow diaries. Around week 6-7 of flowering, the leaves get burnt tips and turn yellow. Is this a phosphorus burn or deficiency? (Not my pic) The lower leaves are green so it's not N deficiency. I can't tell what these growers are doing to make their plants...

    2021 Auto Comparison Grow: 10 gal vs. 20 gal

    Hey guys, welcome to my comparison grow. I'm running 7 autos outdoors this year and wanted to test the effect of using a ridiculous pot size. 20 gallons seems way overkill but I thought I'd have a little fun doing a comparison, even with a small sample size. Right now 2 of my Purple Hulk...

    Aloe species

    My climate is perfect for succulents and I have about a 10x10' shaded area of my garden that I'd like to dedicate to Aloe + succulents. My searches have come up with lots of threads on how to incorporate aloe extracts into my gardening, but nothing on the specific species. Do you grow your...

    Bull Humus

    Hey guys, my local bulk store offers Oregon Bull Humus. I top dressed my tomatoes with this last year and they got to 8 feet. Was night and day compared to tomatoes that didn't get it. I was curious if you could check out the attached analysis and let me know how to incorporate this into a...

    Mixing super soil after 10 yr hiatus

    Hi guys, I used to grow organic with super soil back in 2010 and am finally returning after not growing for years. Stoked to be back here but forgot my old account login :wall:. My friend who usually uses salt nutes asked me to help him with his soil and I'm a bit nervous some of my methods are...
