Chlorine, used to purify drinking water the world over is basic. I'm not sure the correlation of ph to where you live. It would seem that the poorer the quality of the untreated water or source water, the more basic or higher ph because of all the chlorine they use to purify it? Sounds logical...

Hey all. I had to take a break from binge watching HOW TO FIX A DRUG SCANDAL on Netflix. I've got trichomes on the brain, probably because I'm days or weeks away from harvesting (that was an autoflower joke). Anyway, I've been thinking about trichomes, what they are and why they do what they do...

yeah. i'm with ya. the questions i ask about autos are for my own personal edification. I hope I brink in over a pound, but im just as happy with half that. I just want it to be high quality.

that looks like 3.5 grams

@TheGreatSouthern So I've been giving this thread (The OP) some thought and since you seem to be the "auto-guy" here I've got some ideas. Until today, I was under the impression that the 75 days mephisto gave me was gospel (don't ask me why I thought that). So two weeks ago I started...

The dispensary by my house flower isn't worth a damn. I'm jonesing my ass off for some flower. But they sell shatter and as far as i know you cant fake shatter so.....

I'm trying to picture your setup and it sounds bigger than mine. IDK what your feelings are as far as the legal side of cultivation, but I grew illegally for a long time before everything started changing. But man the was nerve racking. Now I avoid any unnecessary stress by following the law to...

Thanks for the clarification; I thought we were talking about the flower that had the CS applied to it. The only experience I have with that sort of thing is back in the early 90's when I first started growing, a fellow grower and I attempted to cross some strains we had. We'd get a male (in...

so if you had a bunch of flower that you cant smoke because of the CS could you use it to make concentrates? edit I wrote this before I saw your previous post

your plants are almost a month older than mine but they're doing a similar thing with the cola that has bigger sugar leaves than bud mass.

I'm guessing you have plants that you use specifically for seed production (i.e. you don't smoke the plants you use to make seeds?)

I can see how this process would be good for attempting to create new strains and like @TheGreatSouthern said, if you want to archive a favorite strain/plant or if you gotta move your grow for some reason. And maybe I'm partial because I grew photos for ten years without touching a seed, but all...

Is that indoor or outdoor? Strain? Pretty looking.

So in theory, once I go back to photos, I spray colloidal silver on one branch a week into flower and I'd have feminized photo seeds? What is the advantage of seeds when I can just clone? If I use that method won't I seed the whole grow?

I'm curious. I was having similar problems to the OP. But I use calmag, general hydro 3 part, which I follow the specs for each growing phase, and I use both the calmag and the nutes at 1/4 strength. Tap water, phd down a little but my tap is 7.0 and after adding calmag and nutes my ph is...

Just curious. Are you suggesting to use calcium and magnesium separately? I use calmag. But your saying that eventually I should look into calcium nitrate (cheap on amazon you said) and magnesium which is essentially Epsom salt. Why go through all that? Isn't calmag sufficient?

I've never used auto pots before so forgive me if this seems like a stupid idea, but couldn't you put the pump that's moving your water/food on a timer? IDK, have it turn on once every couple hours or something? IDK how often they go off now, or if they trickle endlessly, but it seems that using...

IDK if you saw the pics of my tent in the beginning of this post, but I've got four plants that should look like your second photo. They are real "gappy" the way the colas are coming together. Yours has a relatively symmetrical cola. Somehow I doubt mine will fill in and start dumping resin all...

One more thing I will say about THC content. I got some super lemon haze from the dispensary that was labled at 29%. I smoked and smoked and it never got me even a little high. Then I've tried some strains at 14-15% and been knocked on my ass. So THC level is really just a number. At least in my...

The only 30 I've ever seen was on some gorilla glue from a dispensary in Mass. I couldn't tell you auto or photo but I would assume photo since its a commercial operation. That being said, what I just watched about the players in the cannabis industry (growers/sellers/labs) and the corruption...
