    Long term storage in vacuum sealed jars, should I use humidipaks?

    Hi guys. I'm planning to put one year worth of daily smoke into long term storage once I finish my current outdoor harvest. I plant to fill up a bunch of mason jars with about 2oz each and then vacuum seal them with a foodsaver once they're fully cured. They jars will be opened and...

    Do you reuse your soil?

    I've been thinking about storing my soil after the season ends and using it again next year. Can I reuse soil if I've been pouring fertilizer in it all summer? I'm guessing I should add some amendments to it if i decide to keep it. not sure what or how much, or if its even needed...

    Is harvesting a plant in stages worth the extra effort?

    I was wondering about this today. Last year when I harvested a plant I took the whole plant at once. Some of the lower buds were fluffy and small. I know this is normal, but If I pull the tops and leave the lower buds for say another week or two (weather permitting) will it increase the over...

    Wet fog/drizzle all night. Overcast and warm today. Perfect weather for mold?

    Or does mold prefer the cold? I plan to spray for mold tonight just in case. I have actinovate and serenade on hand. Anyone have any opinion on which one is most effective? I have to say I prefer the actinovate because it doesn't smell, where the serenade smells like sweaty jock straps but...

    Dead leaves on the interior of large bushes. Will they mold if left alone?

    I've noticed that on my large bushy plants some of the oldest fan leaves that are buried low in the canopy have started to die off. Maybe 5-10 leaves per plant each week. I find them brown and dried up when I go checking under the girls skirts. I'm pretty sure this is normal, and I remove...

    I've got a tip for other new growers.

    Take notes. Get a notebook, use the notes app on your phone, whatever works. I imagine a lot of experianced growers do this. Especially indoors when growing in hydro or other more complex setups where they want to do the exact same thing each cycle, but it never occurred to me the first...

    Looking for trimming gloves that don't get sticky.

    Question for you guys. I used some gloves for trimming once that would not stick to the buds at all. Anyone know what kind of gloves those might have been? They were white and not as stretchy as most rubber gloves. I hate using nitril and latex because I feel like I'm damaging the buds...

    Insect identification help needed.

    I found a leaf that had fallen off of one of my plants into the soil and when I picked it up it had little bugs all over it. Anyone know what these are? Do they cause any harm? I can't find any on the plant itself. Here is a picture:

    Cucumber beetles. What kills or deters them?

    I've caught a few of these guys munching on my fan leaves. Little yellow ladybug looking guys. Their damage is minor so far. I have neem and Spinosad on hand, will neem keep them away? Or should I pick up something else? Thanks.

    Ever have a clone lag behind the others?

    So I have these 4 blackberry kush reveg clones. For some reason one of them is growing slower than the other 3. Not by much, and it looks healthy, but I can see that it's smaller. It's also slightly less green, and it's getting purple on some of the older leaves. It's a purple strain but the...

    How far into flower should I continue to spray for bugs?

    I assume at some point in flower I should stop spraying so I don't cause mold? That said, my plants get some morning dew most mornings so I can't keep them dry all the time. So how many weeks into flower do you stop spraying for bugs? Thanks.

    Bat guano. Tea vs. top dressing.

    Just curious really if applying bat guano as a tea will have different results from applying it as a top dressing? Is tea faster acting? Is one more likely to burn? Top dressing sure sound easier. Also, if I needed say 30-40 gallons of guano tea, could I brew a super strong batch in a 5...

    Can you tell the sex?

    So I've got these 6 white widow plants from seed. I need to get the girls into their final pots asap if I want to get anything off of them. Most are showing something, but I'm new at sexing plants and I'm just not sure. I have noticed that 3 are taller and have taller secondary branches...

    When should I remove my suplimental lights?

    I have 4 Blackberry Kush clones that started flowering early during the first week on June. I've read that this strain will flower very easily, some people claim it will act like an auto if it's stressed. They weren't reveging on their own so I put suplimental lighting on them on 6/20...

    If I put some clones outside right now would they flower?

    I have a few extra clones that I'm thinking of putting outside. I was going to use them as moms but they're too big. I was thinking of taking new clones to start as bonsai moms instead. They're on 18/6 right now. My day length is currently 14 hours and 48 minutes. I could put them on...
