    Terpene degradation

    I've read many articles about terpene degradation and the consensus seems to be that some of them start evaporating at around 60-70f and some above 100f and so on. I am wondering if there is any difference while the plant hasn't been harvested yet. Meaning does the same degradation happen...

    COCO bag left outside

    I have a patio that where we put plants every summer and there's always a spider mite infestation including this year. I left a big open coco bag there during summer when the mites were rampant. Now it's -10C here in Canadian winter. Can I use the soil in the bag or could it be that some spider...

    AC Infinity Self-Watering Fabric Pot Base

    I tried DWC last year and I get pythium because of high temps in summer. It's not worth it at this stage to get a cooler. I imagine any other method such as autopots would have the same issue because of the res. I also can't run a tap water line to the grow room so I have given up on automation...

    Over defoliation and Naked plant

    I'm doing an experiment on a 2x2, left very little on the plant with a massive defoliation and lollipopping on day 21, so post stretch. How do you think this will turn out?

    Photontek SQ300W Pro gift

    Someone ordered a Photontek SQ300W Pro christmas gift for my new tent. The problem is this tent is an AC Infinity 24”x24”x72” tent. The light dimensions are 22.08'' x 22.08'' x 2.82''. The adapter of the light is also a tiny bit wider than the light itself. I have 2 questions. One am I going...

    Safest automated watering system

    I tried DWC once but I struggled with pythium, tried both sterile and bennies and both failed, it was too hot. Now I got a cooler environment but still it's a struggle to keep room temp below 20C. I thought about autopot since it's one way to the plants and the roots are not in the water, but...

    Can nute burn produce harsh bud?

    Let's say that in either veg, flowering or both nute burn occurs. Will the smoke be harsh/taste bad? Or a proper cure even after nute burn makes for good weed?

    Neem soil drench

    Neem, water and sulfactant. Heard it works wonders for pests when used as a soil drench in addition to foliar, but some people say it will get absorbed by the roots and affect the taste. Is this true?

    Coco to soil

    I just had coco available so I started the seed in a coco party cup. I want to transfer to a 7 gallon pot of promix hp. Is that okay or will cause some problem?

    Weed too dry to cure

    So at day 5 of drying at 55% RH and 22-25C I put the nugs in a jar and in one or two hours it shoots up to 71%. I thought it's too wet, I put it back on the drying rack. I had to go out of town for a few days, I come back on day 9 and they are bone dry. Stems snap. I put them in an air tight...

    0% humidity

    Is 0% humidity in flowering okay or not? I'm inclined to a yes, as I found someone who grows absolutely massive healthy plants in a high altitude desert climate with 0% humidity through flowering.

    Plant producing new white pistils at harvest

    This is a Fast strain supposed to have 7 weeks of flowering time. This is 7 weeks and 6 days. A LOT of white pistils forming all over the plant, the pics don't make it justice. I was planning on harvesting this Friday, should I let it flower more?

    Cultivation Nation 70/30 COCO with GH nutes

    I got a bag of the Cultivation Nation 70/30 coco. And I got the full line of GH nutes. I've always grown in soil using this schedule: Can I just grow in coco using this same schedule? My concern is that I've seen people recommending much weaker tailor-made schedules for coco, but that was...

    COCO drip irrigation system

    I'm going to do my first coco fertigation grow. I went looking for a drip irrigation system, I'm growing a single sizable plant with a 7 gal pot in a tight space. Came across a number of these: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0743F4532/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ALHMCZG7P2QCI&psc=1 They seem...

    PPM in flowering

    I have a healthy plant, no deficiencies. Feeding at 730 ppm in early flower. Recommended ppm from what I see is much higher, above 1000. Using Gh nutes. Should I raise the ppm by 300 or not?

    To defoliate or not defoliate - the eternal question

    I find it impossible to reach a conclusion. We have pro growers who produce and sell industrially with hundreds of thousands of dollars invested who say defoliate for all the reasons we know about such as airflow, light penetration, more energy to bud sites etc. And then the same people but on...
