    using compost...

    Been a minute RIU fam, but I come seeking knowledge. I've been a chems grower for a few years now and when I do good I do great, when NOT so good, it's shit. So, I've been composting... everything, lawn clippings, fallen twigs, old root balls, kitchen scraps, even some old dog food that got wet...

    my accidental cross

    Last year I was gifted a plant of Tiki Madman's "Ice Pie". I took cuts and flowered it. During this time something knocked her up. I've got 40ish seeds that are Ice Pie x? She could have gotten knocked up by either "Duckweb" or "The Freakshow". Both males were flowering around the same time so I...

    Thank you Gorilla seed Bank!

    A little while ago I won some seeds from @GorillaSeedBank, specifically the "Mimosa Cake Auto". I wasn't able to start them as quickly as I would have liked, but I've got a couple that are (i'm guessing) around week 4-5ish. And going strong. Definitely 2 distinct phenos(one bushy, one leggy)...

    That momentary lapse in judgement...

    My last round of seeds didn't take for some reason(don't know, worked before, trying again) so I think I may have over compensated for my failure by starting too many this time. I had my dead cups in front of me, said ok, time to try again, got really stoned and started at least 2 of 11...

    Obvious to some, but will blow the mind of others.

    I'm a Fairly new grower, less than 5 years, and I've only ever set up my own grows. I've never had anyone help or explain how to "dial in" anything. Last year I won a monster of a light, #Ez8, from a giveaway here on RIU, hosted by @MedicGrow, and I bought a tent that the light would fit in...

    New Private Breeder with questions

    I'm just getting started in making my own crosses/ fems I've done it once with STS, and decided to make my own as many have suggested. So I got the chems, distilled water and made the stock solutions. Mix 1:1 "A" into "B" in an amber bottle to protect from light. Well when I did it, it turned...

    transplant advice?

    10 days ago I took some cuttings and put them into a cloner a friend loaned me. One wilted so out she went but the other 19 are looking good and at least on some, we have roots. Not right now as I need to get some sleep, 4:43am locally, but it looks like I'll be transplanting these little...

    subtle onset.

    Second round making caramels, and I think I burnt them. It is a bit darker than the first time and they seem to break rather than cut. I may have gone past caramel into toffee, still good in fact I'm waiting on that subtle onset most edibles have. So how do you recognize when they have finally...

    Ever try to carry a conversation with someone wearing headphones?

    It's not that I'm hating on the headphones, use them, please, but when you're the one wearing them and trying to talk to me, FUCKING PAUSE YOUR SHIT!!!! First, you're yelling, I'm 5 feet away Second, I can hear what you're listening to so focus is divided. Third, if you're going to sing, (i...

    Not sure on how to proceed

    Through no fault but my own, for not catching it earlier, my flower tent had been rather bereft of plants a of late, but here recently the Fates have conspired to fill it up again. Suffice to say I have 3 ladies that are ready to flower, once they've healed from their trimming. Presently they...

    Success?

    A few weeks ago while stoned and disappointed that I was usable to save the genetics of my Beast Mode Auto, last seed and didn't have the chems or time to flip, pollinate, and allow seeds to mature. So I hit her with some femmed pollen from my Caramelicious auto and unless I'm mistaken the white...

    What do I need to do?

    So, 2 weeks ago now I decided to try to pollinate a couple buds on a couple plants. One has plenty of time to work on her seeds, but the other one is ready to take down. If I take the colas, leaving the pollinated buds, will she finish her seeds? She doesn't have much for foliage, I'm just...

    Ok what happened?

    I infused the butter and there is a sludge on the bottom when it cooled. What gives?

    One looks ready

    So, Back on the 13th I inoculated 4 small B.R.F. cakes (I still see that and read barf cakes, lol) and one looks ready but the other 3 are lagging behind. Would it hurt anything to just let it sit till the other 3 are fully colonized? Should I pull, soak, and chamber the one? Then add the other...

    A lesson in patience,

    No, this is not about harvest. I have a couple plants that I was pretty sure both were male. I wasn't fully convinced, and still aren't, so I haven't cut them yet. Good thing, because I get back to my tent tonight and one if them, BOOM pistils. 2 pre Flowers leaving no question that one of...

    Switch it up?

    Tapping the shoulder of my DWC/RDWC cohorts. As said in another post, I'm returning to DWC. With a more powerful light than my previous grows I'm tossing back and forth getting a chiller. I didn't use one(don't own one they're expensive) when I was growing in the garage, and this early summer's...

    I've had it! I'm coming back.

    Not that I've had problems with this run in coco, but I miss my DWC. I had to switch it up because high temps suck. I got my tent cooled down and it's running colder than ever before. So I'm coming back to DWC.
