    Question on first smoke of cured harvest

    “ Only 3 hours of direct sunlight a day, bad spot.” Umm, I’m far from the most experienced grower around here (and have harvested one that looked similar to the plant in question) but maybe this was a bit of the issue with maturity? Hopefully more experienced folks here can comment.

    WATER - distilled, spring, city/well water?

    Oh, and my outdoor plants are in SIPs as well. They get their water straight from the hose. Since their purpose in the scheme of things seems to be feeding bugs and cushioning the fall of stuff that’s dropping on them, it’ll do. LOL

    WATER - distilled, spring, city/well water?

    My tap water clocks in at 8.3-8.7 ph and around 350 ppm. I don’t have any analysis handy, but judging by what I’ve seen come out of neighborhood houses without water softeners, it has loads of calcium. I tote two 4.5 gallon cat litter buckets full from the outside spigot (which doesn’t pass...

    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    @Tim Fox - Do you do anything particular when you let a sip sit idle? Do you keep water in the reservoir? Plant a cover crop? I’m in the Midwest US and I was figuring on storing 2 in the heated garage and dumping the 2 with tomatoes and recycling the soil for next year. I’m open to any and...

    Welp, day 15 on these 2 girls, a Fast Buds Blue Dream’matic and a Dutch Passion Daquiri Lime Auto. The roots were about to outgrow their 1-liter yogurt cups, so out they went into their sips. I’m gonna top-dress with some neem meal and “mulch” with some cardboard later today. Indoor sips...

    Is the Market crashing everywhere?

    LOL. I moved here 10 years ago from Texas. Weed-wise, I’m in a whole lot better shape.

    Is the Market crashing everywhere?

    I grow for myself and a family member under the radar. So I can’t speak to the market as a producer, but... A friend in TX contacted me about some gummies (CBD/THC) for her Mom. I told her the price here, then suggested she find a friend in OK with a med card. And sent her links to my local...

    Why don't more ppl grow auto flowers?

    Novice grower, autos only so far. When I get a grow room built in my garage and all the environmental issues dealt with, I’ll try photos. So far, 5 plants have yielded 2 to 3.5 ozs each, which I’m fine with. I like to have a variety, and I just don’t smoke a whole lot (on my own, an ounce...

    What’s the most dry weight you have pulled from a autoflower

    10.5 ounces. Mephisto Strawberry Nuggets, HLG 300L Rspec for lighting. SIP with 10 gallons organic soil, 4 gallon water reservoir. Water only from seed to harvest with just some mosquito bits to deal with a fungus gnat issue. Plant was only 27 inches tall. Nobody could have been more...

    Alaskan Purple Auto from Seedsman

    I’m interested in what the yield will be when it’s all said and done. I have some of these seeds and hope to grow a couple indoors late fall.

    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    My last plant did that- some leaves curled down 90 degrees. But it kept on building buds. I figured letting it ride it out was probably safer given my lack of experience than trying to “fix” it. Can’t argue with the results (‘cuz I get too stoned smoking it to argue. Lol). But man, was doing...

    I was thinking around 4 ounces, just less maintenance and less chance of killing them by over feeding. Yep, I’m happy with that.

    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    Question- I just finished my 3rd grow, first time organic, first time SIP, first time with a new-to-me HLG light, first time growing a Mephisto autoflower (not my first auto, just the first of theirs). Is 10 ounces a decent yield? 2 ounces was larfy stuff I water cured for edibles. Should...

    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    Harvested a Strawberry Nuggets a couple days ago. Decided to just re-amend the soil in place and plant a cover crop until the next grow (may be a couple months, gotta do some traveling for family stuff). Had to cut the main root with a small saw. Plant was drinking a gallon a day.

    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    Well, remember my posts about a dry corner in the container? Umm, disregard that. The situation seems to have rectified itself in the last 10 days. (Insert embarrassed smilie here.) So, plant into a paper bag for now, may get briefly hung later today. Humidity in the basement is 40 percent...

    I’m going to try that design (what do we call it, a “total wick” design?) on my deck this summer with some cherry tomatoes and peppers. Mostly to block a neighbor’s view of our deck so they don’t see the cannabis I’ll be growing in other SIPs. My wife wants to plant trees along the fence line to...

    Using dry ice

    An old friend sends my wife and I a Christmas package from Omaha Steaks every year. They come in a styrofoam cooler and has a package of dry ice for temp control. This year when wife unpacked the shipment she handed me the dry ice and said Chunk it. I put it in the grow tent. I’d like to say...
