That water is basic! I mean alkaline AF. My tap water tested above 7 and I tried adding some pH Down to just tweak it a bit and the plants immediately started looking healthier. I put about 1 cc of pH Down in a gallon of tap water. I am growing in soil/coir.

I will try to get an exhaust fan but anything else is probably outside my budgetary capacity for the time being. The plants have done okay so far but the latest crop includes some genetics that I’m not familiar with.

Thanks for feedback. I am raising all my lights and getting a couple fans.

The tent does get a little warm every morning before someone wakes up and opens it, but I doubt it gets much above 90 F.

The tops of the plants are about 9 to 12 inches from the light. The reason I am concerned is that a couple of the plants are foxtailing. Actually it’s my wife who thinks maybe they are getting too much light or heat. I think it might be a genetic trait because the plants are from the same batch...

The light is a Barrina BU 2000 that I copped off Amazon, obviously. Here’s a pic of the tent.

Firstly, this is the light I got way back in November 2021. It’s in a 4x4 grow tent with no exhaust fan or ventilation except that we unzip it every morning. Lights are on 13 hours a day for blooming and finishing. I will post a photo of the grow tent and light next...

A dispensary in my area (OC/LA) is offering clones and I can’t find any information about it. These might be a product of Clone Guy. Has anyone sampled it yet?

I can’t swear to this but more than once I put powdered red chili around my plants to keep varmints out and it seems to help.

No slime trails? For some reason I am thinking tiny mollusks but I am probably wrong.

That sounds like one of the recommended solutions for bedbugs. Thanks.

Is the heat treatment still considered a viable solution for indoor PM? This could have saved me a lot of hassle when I was trying to grow in a closet in Salinas.

Since I started growing in an apartment in a new city, I keep getting whiffs of something that reminds me of Reese’s Pieces when I smell my flowers. Sometimes I get it pretty strong when I hit the first balloon off our Volcano machine. The strain that most often smells like peanut butter is...

No need to rush if you have room for a tall plant but you also have to allow for the plant to stretch when you flip the light schedule. I have been told that I should go to 12/12 when the plant is half as tall as I want it to be when it finishes.

If you are dying for the gender reveal, you can go ahead. That will probably keep it from getting too tall.

I have not found a better price but I admit I have not looked very hard, either. I consider myself too old to take up moonshining.

It was about $320 … cheaper to get it in bulk https://culinarysolvent.com/

We use 100 percent ethanol sold as “culinary solvent.” Last time we bought a 5-gallon barrel. It comes with a universal wrench for opening.

My wife and I — mostly my wife — make a very crude elixir using leafy trim and 100 percent culinary ethanol. She only makes about 10 fluid oz. at a time. About 10 ml is the usual dose. My wife doesn’t care much about the chlorophyll but when I make infused coconut oil, I like to use an...

Lots of hydro stores like that even in California. It’s like legalization barely made a difference sometimes. At one place in Monterey County the sales people were not even allowed to mention or discuss cannabis a few years ago, even after it was legal for medical use.
