Midge

@Midge, grow a bunch out doors and have a wide selection of strains. Just sometimes the stuff you grow is better or worse then the stuff you buy. coin toss. I like government weed, mainly their edibles, as its tested for shit vs the aftermarket options. even if it the buds look a bit shity, peace of mind knowing the mold yeast and bacteria counts are in a safe level cuz god only knows whats happening to that bud, people do weird shit. mostly all cross contamination and bad handling practices. Nothing to crazy just don't need it if I can avoid it.

Of course, you can always grow your own so you have some house strains that are cheap and then buy a little every now and then to stop yourself getting bored of the same flavours :)

@Sciolistic_Steve, usually yes, though sometimes, decapitation or unnecessary damage occurs like it can with the paper towel method. We can only do our best and what we are most confident with I suppose. I always plant directly and use a jiffy with the webbing taken off. I find the holes that come preformed once the jiffy is hydrated are the perfect height for burying cannabis seeds :)

@Sciolistic_Steve, you can also bury a seed to shallow. I similarly wont make that mistake since a couple of mine couldn't lose the seed case and ended up dying in their helmets :/

Good interview mate!!!!

Thank you so much Growdiaries for this interview, I really enjoyed it 💚💚💚💚💚🦄

Space buckets are not necessarily / usually hydroponic are they? Doesn't it describe a cheap and small footprint growing environment utilising 2 or more buckets joined together with a plant inside? Apart from that confusion it was a good article thanks.

@DoDrugs420,whenever you want to brother! It's a nice middle of the road strain. No complaints, except that I finished the last of mine this week...

When can Auto Sweet Tooth and I run away toghether into the horizon?

@CovikLaFlaire, ducting into the same room as the tent is in is generally fine, as long as that room is ventilated. If the room does not have any breeze or ventilation, there will be a deficit of carbon dioxide and a build up of humidity. If humidity and carbon dioxide is not removed from the space at all, growth will be slowed somewhat and there will be a higher risk of mold. If you have a couple of plants in the corner of your room with lights above them, they'll be fine, but your room will start to smell of weed during flowering. If the room lights are on when the grow lights are off and they are photoperiod plants, then flowering will not occur properly or you will probably create malformed or hermaphroditic plants. If your pants are autoflowers, it will be fine - probably - though unstable lighting conditions probably aren't ideal for autos either. I wouldn't be surprised if very variable light schedules caused even autoflowers to suffer abnormalities or even to go hermie too.

All good. Unusual for Royal Dwarf to get to week 5 without showing strong flowering signs. You must have a phenotype I didn't get. Mine have all flowered around week 3. Nothing to worry about though, they look happy :)

Nice grow mate, plants are looking good, keep it up, imma follow this one upclose.

Sea of Green is a great technique, but the legal implications shouldn't be taken too lightly. Hopefully, now that much of the world is looking more favourably on cannabis than before, the law may well treat sea of green as the simple technique it is. However, I thought it worth mentioning that before the law started changing (some 20 years ago) it was purely seen as a grow with more plants and therefore a grow more likely to be for supply purposes. I used SOG practices in a hydroponic grow that was purely for personal consumption, 12 plants in a 1 sq Metre space. The company I bought the seeds from (mail-order as seed banks were few and far between in those days) had been arrested and prosecuted for selling clones illegally. That gave the cops all the power they needed to seize the company database and gain warrants to search the properties of ALL of their seed buying customers... 'Seeds for souvenir purposes? yeah right...' My case went through the legal system to quite a high level before a deal was done that kept me out of stir by a whisker. They said they'd have thrown the book at me if I hadn't got such impeccable references as they felt I was definitely growing to supply as I had so many plants. I had expert defence proving I'd easily get through that much weed every 6 months (about 1/2 Oz per week) but they said 12 plants were way too many despite. Just bear in mind that even if it is legal where you grow now, if they only let you have 3 plants or so and you are growing a dozen or two, they might not treat you kindly. Personally I'd stick to ScrOG if you have any concerns at all...

Wow! Amazing prize, good luck all :)

I figured out how to enter! It's a stereogram for the benefit of anyone who might think I've just posted some terrible tiled image :) Good luck everybody, this is the perfect price imho! Cheers Spiderfarmer :D
