    Max 15 plant medical grow in an 8x8

    I have an 8x8 tent set up in an unheated un air conditioned shed. Lots of power. Three high wattage 110 lines. In Washington State. I've ordered a bunch of feminized seeds. Six different strains. I'm allowed to have Max 15 plants any given moment. When I'm in continuous personal production, I...

    Compost story

    This is too good not to share for searchable history. When my wife was a kid she was one of eight children. She lived in a row house in Philadelphia on poisoned land. There was a heavily toxic heavy metal chemical plant of some type on this land previously. This is not land to be growing...

    Compact indoor gardening advice please

    Long wall of text to follow, please don't b**** at me if you don't like to read, click away now. I have an 8x4 tent with four LED lights that are capable of filling a 5x5 for cannabis growing. About 3 ft down of totally filled flowering for each light. They penetrate well. Each light consumes...

    Why do people care about pinholes in tents?

    I see lots of reviews about people bitching about pinholes and bits of light coming into the tent. In the outside world there's moonlight, there's starlight, and I just don't understand why people give a s*** about pinholes in tents. When I was growing cannabis before I put the plants to sleep...

    About 2 days to flip

    I have a situation where I may have to lose space and I have to flip some plants a couple weeks early. They're not going to finish in time for the move and then I'll have to make a decision on whether or not to early harvest or move them depending on what's available in space. Keep in mind I...

    I'll have to move in 60 days

    I currently have a 4x4 tent with around 380 watts of LED split between two lights. I have clones about a month in. The plants look very happy to me for the most part. The one in the second row on the right got eaten by the cats and it's recovering now. So I think it's like a variation of fim...

    Do leaves enjoy cool mist or am I saturating them?

    I am 2 weeks past clone transplant with some very nice growth. I have an ultrasonic humidifier that is designed for a reptile tank. It's got two large tubes coming out so I can direct where the mist goes. I'm in Denver so I have to run this otherwise I'd be at 30% humidity. Right now I'm lucky...

    Yellow leaves, 1 out of 6

    I bought half a dozen clones. They are variety of strains from two different vendors. I'm at the legal max for Colorado for flowering for my household. Out of the six one of them has yellow leaves. The strain name is Ruby Skunk but I can't find anything on the web for it. I'm using 380 watts...

    Denver area seed / clone recommendations?

    Hi there. I'm doing my first legal grow after doing closets on the East Coast for years. The issue is I have no decent genetics right now. So I ordered a bunch of stuff off Amazon, got my tent and my fans and exhaust stuff, waiting for the lights, and now have to get the genetics. I'm in...

    My straw is growing grass

    Fully colonized, in process of consolidation and primordia, and i have about a dozen 8 inch blades of what looks like grass growing. I don't mind. I did NOT pasteurize correctly, I simply boiled water, threw it in a bucket of pure/shredded straw, and let it soak for a day, then drain, and lay...

    Pure straw VS mixed stuff

    As I've been doing a bit of experimenting I figure I'd report back. My typical sub is coir/verm but straw is a LOT cheaper ($4 per tub vs 10 cents per tub) , so I wanted to give it a shot. What I learned: Straw is a BITCH to cut to correct size. Smaller is better. A weed wacker is a really...

    Ozone + agar = Yay!

    I've got a bunch of old plastic dragon jars that can be used as high wall petri dishes. I've been carrying them around for years, along with a bottle of presterilized agar. I also have all the making for my own agar, but I figured I'd try the ready made 1st. I did not PC the dragon jars. I...

    Contam test

    I have what I consider "contam resistant" myc. But I want to prove it. I assume I'll have to do a bunch of agar plates with different myc, introduce tric and others, and see what happens. But until then: I did a damon's bucket tech. As I carried the hot bucket up 3 flights of stairs, the lid...

    Ok canndo, straw VS coir vs casing

    It depends on your sub base. If you have coir/verm you get all the tiny valleys and bumps that are ideal for fruiting, so a casing layer doesn't add much benefit if your humidity is good. For pinning, there are other benefits, just addressing that. As the myc is growing, any "breakthroughs"...

    Hey Canndo, straw poo tek?

    I know you've detailed what you do before, but I'm too lazy to find it. what I got: Many jars of poo loving fungus, typically spawned to coir. What I just picked up: A bale of straw, a sack of dehydrated cow manure, a sack of oyster shells. You wanna tell me what to do with it and if I need...

    If you are looking for crushed oyster shell, go to a feed store

    I called about 10 different garden places before I gave up. Googled a bit, and found out they feed it to chickens. And once at a feed store, I just had to pick up a 50 lb sack of corn to try. Straw, manure, and wood pellets as well. Wow, I've never been to a feed store before.

    That magic moment

    I've spent a couple of months going through old mycelium that kept contaming, then finally ordering needles, then going through a couple of stupid contam issues (my own, old old grain, too short PCing), then FINALLY 8 test trays got layed out and given a 2:1 (grain:sub, I wanted fast), and 6 of...

    Ozone and particulate filters

    A sciency question. I'd like to spend time in an ozone heavy area without burning the shit out of my lungs. I think (but don't know) that the safe zone can be determined by smell. Light rainforest, you're fine. Smells like bleach (indoor pool)? Get the fuck out! I use a flu virus mask and...

    Sterility question and ozone VS mycelium

    I've got a corner area totally blocked out with hanging plastic staple gunned to the floor and gloves stuck through. Table and shelves on the other side, gets sealed with a zipper when loaded. The "outside" area of at (where I'm standing) has plastic floor to ceiling, with a wraparound on the...
