Today was pepper harvest day for keeper seeds, time to start seeding and drying them out for next year.

I use 17 gallon SIPs, and there’s no way I could go without top dressing. What size pots are you using, and are you indoors or out? If you don’t veg long and are running SOG grows it would be fairly easy to do water only. I can’t see growing large plants indoors water only though.

I personally amend my soil before each grow, recycling the soil. I don’t use enough to last the entire grow, I will top dress as well throughout the grow. I’m not sure if anyone is trying to make a soil go an entire grow, with small plants it’s very possible I suppose. I read the above as a...

I’d say you’re getting very close, another week or two wouldn’t hurt. Nice looking plants!

If I cross a Malawi and a Thai and collect the seeds they’re 50/50, right. Then I run the seeds and pollinate one with a Malawi. The seeds from the second run are 66% Malawi and 33% Thai, round to 70/30. I only used 2 landrace strains.

I made the mistake of showing the picture to my wife. Can I borrow $52.00 as well?

Week 9 of flower. The Malawi is getting fuller looking, the buds on each main shoot are becoming one giant cola, but you can see from the growth pattern why they are more airy than indicas. The Puck is looking good. I find myself taking pictures above the top trellis net most of the...

Happy Birthday!

If you looked at the calculator I pointed you to above, you enter your weight of each amendment and npk value, or any other values, you can use calcium, magnesium and iron, and it will give you the final ratio once mixed. You have to know what you want at the end before you start. You can up...

Nope, that’s not normal. Make sure it’s not just something in the fan, the baking soda tray vibrating, or it’s not sitting on a solid surface first. Try smacking the side a few times. If that doesn’t work brandish a screwdriver menacingly and recite the saying “E=I x R” 10 times. That is...

You would have to research some, most items you should be able to find info on google or your favorite engine. For instance I have never used feather meal, so looked that up and it’s generally 12-0-0 with not much else, so lots of nitrogen, and you have 2 lbs in there. Does it need that much...

Wow, that brings back some memories. Here’s 2 towers from one of my first hydro projects, I mainly grew strawberries and herbs, but they worked. I’ll have to watch your progress, I might end up dusting these things off and putting them back into service.

I like simple as well. That’s got a lot of ingredients and may be wonderful if mixed properly. If you followed a trusted recipe it should be fine, if you randomly mixed up stuff you had on hand, you may want to grab a calculator.

Welcome to RIU, lots of good people here and a ton of knowledge. Most people here go out of their way to help, for the few others there’s the ignore button.

If you’re sure your hygrometer is correct and you have buds jarred up at 80% rh you are inviting mold. Around 58-62% rh is where you want to be once jarred or bagged. I would hang them back up for a bit, or at least take them out of the jars and spread them out so they are not clumped together...

Running Puck now, it looks and smells great, have PNWHP lined up for next round, or at least near future.

Brings back memories of driving through the Sierra Nevadas and Rockies when younger. So beautiful.

It can be a challenging for sure, but it’s been so much fun and worth it. I really just grow for myself and friends, so I don’t need quantity. The Puck will last me until next harvest alone even if these two sativas go forever.

Here’s my hump day update. The Malawi buds are starting to fatten some. Showing some frost as well now. The Golden Tiger is taking her sweet ass time, but finally stopped stretching and started forming up buds, although it is going on week 9 to even start plumping up buds. I think she’s...

That’s normal. If you want to hang dry first no problem, but in a very small enclosed environment the rh is going to go up when packed with bud. 80% is about average, it has to start with the rh of the bud and lower from there. If you were to put the buds in a room at 60% rh and the room...
