    I don’t understand the hash def

    Is “hash” an imprecise term? I’ve wondered this for years. It seems in some regions hash consists of typical whole buds compressed into bricks. I’ve never understood how growers could make such bricks out of a pile of trichomes removed from buds without it being exceptionally expensive.

    Normal late-stage yellowing or ..!

    This is my 8th indoor grow, first indoor photoperiod, and I’m in week 7 of flowering. I’ve had this dynamic with each of my seven prior autoflower grows where the plants are pretty much dead by the time the trichomes start turning amber and I don’t want that to happen. I know you typically...

    Potassium or something more?

    Friends, I flushed these a week ago and added back nutes the next day. The slurry test yesterday for nitrogen and phosphorous show slightly deficient but potash/potassium (k) was severely deficient. I’m using the FoxFarms bundle of Big Bloom, Grow Big and Tiger Bloom liquids plus their three...

    Flowering or what?

    I planted eight autoflowers or so I thought. The others all look like the flowering one shown here fairly far along, but then there’s this big weird one, 42” tall with no buds at week ten. Each time I’ve seen these areas that look like baby buds on it, they’ve merely sprouted stems and leaves...

    Rust already?

    I’ve had this occur constantly when plants go into flower but never this early. This is a sativa-dominant auto and I’m seeing it already. Any ideas about what it is will be welcome. Spider Farmer sf-2000 led 200 watt Fox Farms Ocean forest soil Temp range 67 dark, 84 light 20 on, 4 off For...

    THC percent and pH measurement

    I have two *very* basic but unrelated q’s that I cannot resolve despite searching. First, when I look at a dry bud and see labels claiming THC is 20% or so, it doesn’t make sense. I’ve always assumed the % refers to the weight of THC as a percentage of total dry bud. Covered in crystals or...

    Question on seed quality

    Friends, I’ve never had a problem with taking seeds that have sprouted roots into a solo cup for further development until now. I have two batches from the same supplier that simply will not prosper when I move them over, even though everything I’m doing is EXACTLY the same as before. My...

    Stemless?

    These northern lights hybrid autos sprouted 2/4. Compared to my first indoor grow they look pretty good. I’m curious though about how they hug the dirt. When I moved them from solo cups to the pots, I left just a bit of stem above the top of the dirt and thought they’d grow vertically, but so...

    Leaf to bud strength ratio

    I’m making capsules today and am low on flower. Does anyone have a rule of thumb on how many ounces of junk (leaves, stems and the like) equate to one ounce of bud? I know “it depends” on the specific plant’s thc content, so just looking for a ballpark assuming an average strength plant. Thanks.

    New growth in buds (in red circle)

    This plant germinated on Thanksgiving and I just noticed some new greenish stuff growing within the buds. Any idea what this is and how to address, if at all? Thanks. light - spyder sf 2000 25”highest point 75 F and 45 rh Ph 6.5 Feeding 20-20-20 1x/wk Northern Lights auto from ILGM

    Dry yield guesses

    In the flush stage, emerged late Nov, auto hybrid. Any guesses on how much dry bud it will yield? Closest guess wins free access to my posts for life.

    Citric acid residue and ph

    I’m blessed with spring water that has very little mineral content. The only problem is high ph around 8.2 which I treat with about 1/8 tsp of citric acid powder in a gallon before watering. The plants look much better since I started addressing ph. The only problem is a fine white powder...

    Hang or hang out?

    Auto flower northern lights (supposedly), first indoor grow. Is it ready to dry or should I wait a bit? I’ve never been good at judging despite reading tons of articles / pics.

    Cannot see crystals, right

    I have a 30-60x jewelers loupe and it seems that’s about at strong as they come. I can see the crystals generally, but not their color. In fact it’s hard to tell if they’ve mood from clear to the next phase. Any recos for a better magnifier will be appreciated.

    Update on sickly plants -the hot tub saved me

    Many thanks to those providing insight on my first indoor attempt. Despite chasing over and under watering and the same with nutrients, my plants looked about dead until just recently, especially in the off cycle I refilled my hot tub and the water went straight to hell. A good dose of ph...

    When to address ph

    I’ve had all sorts of trouble with these, which germinated around thanksgiving. Overwater, underwater, nutrient overload/deficiency Through it all they’re not dead which I’m guessing’s a miracle. It’s my first indoor attempt. It makes sense that each of these errors mimics the other based on...

    Thin leaves

    First, many thanks for all the tips. We’re getting there. I haven’t shared pics of this one in a while and it emerged around thanksgiving. I’ve noted the leaves are now very thin and idk if that’s typical at this stage. Thoughts appreciated as always.

    Nighttime droop

    This plant sprouted five weeks ago and is 24” underneath LEDs with 50 percent humidity and temps around 78 during the on cycle. I’m feeding it Jack’s Blossom Booster at the recommended 1/4 tsp per gallon every day, plus occasional a bit of seaweed fert. It looks fantastic during the day but...

    Two filter q’s

    Anyone know how often a six inch vivosun filter will last if used constantly throughout the year? Also, I assume placing it on its butt so it’s vertical instead of hanging horizontally makes no diff but will value your thoughts. I promise.

    How much longer

    Northern lights auto germinated around Thanksgiving. So I can appropriately ration my remaining supply, anyone want to estimate when this will be ready to cut? I took this pic a day ago when it was too dry but it’s since recovered.
