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.

Most hybrids are so complex now, I would say you stand a very good chance that something in the mix is going to cause plants to throw nans or any other number of unwanted possibilities. SO much random pollen chucking going on....It's like everyone is throwing some kind of salt/spices into the...

The problem with the cost of good seeds is that most everything sold nowadays is a very complex hybrid that holds a bunch of different genetic traits and can present a wide variety of phenotypes. In some cases, the more complex the hybrid is, the cheaper the seeds will be. That's because there's...

Man, I used to clone everything....then I realized that I get tired of the same strain after awhile. If I was doing a business, and I had customers that wanted consistency, then it would be different, but I just grow for my own use and I like to try and find new things. All the good OLD things...

I only get syrup. I never get anything that gels up and becomes waxy at all. It just stays the consistency of warm honey or maple syrup.
