started grow question 3y ago
Not a question but a PSA. Don't always put all your trust in your pH pen. Mine was reading just over 7. So I lowered it just a bit, but some plants kept getting worse. Checked with pH drops and it was over 8.5 lmao. Damn near killed 2 of my ladies.

Terpenes or Sativa/Indica?
I believe in Sativa/Indica But new trend seems to be that all cannabis is the same and only terpene profile spesifies your high. Is this the truth? To prove it I could add some hops with specific terpenes to any weed and this would alter my high? Hop has same terpenes as weed btw

Hey fellow growers. I currently have a magnesium def that keeps spreading even after the flush. Does anyone have experience with Canna Mono Cal 15% and Canna Mono Mg 7%? Reccomend dosage is 1ml. Only to be used with deficiencies because of the high concentration. Thank you!Cheers

Flushing Time
Hi all, I was thinking about when should I start to flushing. It looks like they have 2 more weeks to flush and harvest. I guess there will be 3 more watering day if i do it in every 4 days for the one of them. Because another one was started to growing 2 weeks later.

Strain ID
I lost my labels early in the grow. 6 plants, 2 of each. I've paired them and know which two are the OG Kush. I think I've labeled the Jack and Bubble Gum correctly but could have them swapped. Anyone with an expert eye able to confirm based on these photos?

Light schedule change
Hi there , I run a lemon ak from fastbuds , light schedule is 20/4 this is the third week of flower, the humidity is 52% most of the time unless those 4 hours of dark when the humidity is over 60%. The question is, does make sense to switch to 24/0 ? Will this stress the plant ?
