    Thumbnail images loading really slowly

    Thanks for any help. Lately, when I click on thumbnails to enlarge the photo, it can take minutes for the photo to resolve. Seems like a fairly new thing. Any suggestions? Appreciated.

    Ways to stabilize/stiffen top rim of fabric pots?

    I love my fabric pots, but I’m wondering if anyone has a good suggestion for stabilizing the top rim. I like to use wire secured to the side of the pot for low stress training, but the fabric pots are too flexible and get pulled in as I tie stuff down. Anyone have a suggestion to make the top...

    Ok to mix Epsom salt and Bt?

    Just making sure. Are there any concerns with mixing Epsom salt with a couple drops of BT in the same mix? It occurred to me that the Epsom might negatively affect the Bt culture, though hopefully that’s not the case. Any insight appreciated. The Bt is simply preventative at this point, though I...

    Why are page navigation bars only at the bottom of the page?

    Not a big deal, but I’ve been wondering if there is any way to put page navigation buttons (previous, next, etc) at the top as well as the bottom of the page. Probably a reason it doesn’t exist already, but curious. Thanks for all the hard work the admin put in here.

    DeadheadX - Keeps On Keeping On

    I started a new grow with four seeds going into soil on Dec. 5. All autos: Gorilla Cookies x1 (Fast Buds) White Widow XXL x1 (Barney’s) Créme de la Chem x2 (Mephisto) Fox Farm Ocean Forest with perlite added at around four parts to one. Added a thin layer of Dr. Earth about half way down. Plan...

    Buds from plants that had rot - aren’t the spores everywhere?

    This topic came up in a recent conversation with friends who also grow in these parts (New England), which have been cold and wet all summer. We all had mold issues with our outdoor grows. At times when cutting away infected areas, I could see the spores dissipate into the air, certainly...

    Romney: “Large portion of the GOP doesn’t believe in Constitution”

    Mitt Romney is promoting his new book as he prepares to retire from the Senate. He declares in the book and in interviews that a “large portion of the GOP doesn’t believe in the Constitution”. This has been a clear truth since Trumpers took over the party, but it’s nice to hear it put so bluntly...

    Microbe Lift BMC dosage amount?

    Howdy. On a recommendation from another thread I picked up some Microbe Lift bmc to get rid of gnats. Printed dosage calls for six drops per 100 gallons, for bird baths or whatever. This seems common among makers. People suggest 2-4 drops per gallon for a soil drench for gnats (nothing on the...

    Mixed Auto Grow with Spider Farmer SE3000 from giveaway

    Howdy. This is my first grow journal - kind and thoughtful comments and questions are welcome. This is my fourth grow in the 3x3 tent. This time I’ll be using the Spider Farmer SE3000 300w light that they so generously sent me as part of a recent Rollitup giveaway. I planted four seeds, all...

    Fungus gnats in outdoor grow

    Howdy. I live in VT where it has been wet af. Went to check on my outdoor plants and found the wet ground crawling with fungus gnats. These are in ground plants, so perhaps not such a big deal, but I’d love to hear suggestions. I hit the plants and the soil with some neem. These buggers ruined...

    My edibles can be a little sleepy. Why?

    I’ve been enjoying making edibles with both sugar leaf/larf trimmings and kief. Been decarbing at @230 for 25-30 minutes, then processing into oil using a mason jar in near boiling water for 90 minutes or so, then using the oil or butter in brownies. Some have been great, but some have been a...

    Late flower issues

    I’m approaching the later stages of flower on these three plants, and they’re all getting a little finicky (I’ve asked about one of these in an earlier thread - the one with rust spots). Any suggestions on how to most successfully see this grow through are appreciated. I’d also love to hear...

    Is this bud rot on dried flower?

    A friend of mine gave me this little canister with some of his wife’s homegrown. It all looks a little janky, but are the brown buds infected with bud rot? He wanted some feedback, but I don’t even want to open the canister with fear of introducing unwanted agents into my home (grow tent...

    Recent VU and Bowie documentaries

    I recently watched both the Velvet Underground documentary and Bowie doc, Moonage Daydream, on Apple TV. These were actually some of the draws that led me to try out that service. I’m a long time fan of both of these acts and was fortunate enough to see both Lou Reed and David Bowie in concert...

    Election deniers, how do you feel about recent Fox testimony?

    I’m sincerely curious how election deniers and other maga folk feel about the recent testimonies from various Fox News personalities related to the Dominion voting machine law suit. The loudest, most influential voices at Fox, including their owner, have admitted under oath that they knew the...

    Too much or not enough: nute advice please

    Thanks for all of the expertise here. I’m about 50 days into this grow (my second with the current setup). Things are moving along pretty well, but as flowering develops, some leaves are showing signs of stress or deficiency. Front and rear right are Runtz auto, rear left is Skywalker OG auto...

    Using kief to make oil, a few questions

    Thanks for any advice. I’ve greatly enjoyed making butter and oil in recent months and appreciate the expertise here. The last time I decarbed kief (@240f for around 35 minutes) it turned into a carmel-like substance, and some stuck permanently to the foil that I had placed it in (which I...

    Nute burn, will she recover? Time to ditch?

    Thanks for your insights. I am growing four plants in a 3x3 tent, in ffof soil. Autos, two variety. They sprouted on Jan 2, so they are a little over five weeks old. I gave them their first nutes, about 1/3 dose of the fox farm trio plus a little cal/mag (half dose), two days ago. Three of the...

    Recommendation for small oil filled heater?

    I’m looking for a little boost in my 3x3 tent. While I’m not totally comfortable leaving a heater in the tent, oil filled looks to be the safest choice. Can anyone recommend heaters they are currently using? Needs to have a pretty small footprint, and onboard temp control, ideally. Someone on...

    If/when to defoliate or prune, autos

    These plants are almost exactly four weeks since sprouting, autoflowers, 2x skywalker og and 2x Runtz. Planted in ffof with no added nutrients so far. Question for experienced growers: should I be defoliating or pruning the plants? I’ve done a little low stress training and tucking, but haven’t...
