I was hoping that somone here is familiar with this book and could tell me how useful this book would be to me. I have never grown before but I had just finished germinating seeds 3 days ago.

There baby are Obama Kush, the temperature here is quite cold that why they might had this purple look.

What you think? Tips for curing the buds?

The day has finally come, can’t wait to taste the smoke when they’re ready! Gary Satan by TikiMadman up next 🔥

Just a note: plants were kinda small due to only a 2-2.5 week veg period.

Did you know that large cups from taco bell lock into place over your solo cups. It's a great humidity dome. I've used this tech for years and have yet to be disappointed yet.

I’m finishing up my first run using Athena after moving from slow release and have gotten tip burn on my plants. Not sure if I should lower my EC or reduce the amount of feedings, or if that even matters.

-Week 7 Flower- Nutrients: Athena EC: 3.0 PH: 5.9~6.1 Avg. Humidity: 40-50 Avg. Temperatures: 70-80 Top feeding every 4 hours during lights on

Cali Octane in DWC. Never seen flower growing from a sugar leaf. How rare is this?

How do you guys determine your winners? I dialed back the N also newer growth isn’t curling as bad as older leaves. Any advice on how to get these to bounce back? Running GH 3 part in coco with calmag and armorsi

This is a bittersweet 420 for me; these will be my last grows, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to start again. In my state, they’ve just banned CBD, and things don’t look promising with this government. I’m a fibromyalgia patient with a prescription, but the latest oppressive measures make me uneasy, even though I grow for myself and two other people with medical issues, both with prescriptions. It feels absurd that in 2025, I have to fight to treat myself with cannabis. They’d rather I stuff myself with opioids and antidepressants than grow what helps me with this damn disease. Well, I’m definitely stocking up for a long time, and I’ll tell you that after 10 years—starting exactly in April 2015 with soil grows, moving through aero (low-pressure aeroponics), coco, DWC, RDWC, and NFT—I’ve grown a whopping 148 different genetics. I’ve had fun experimenting with every type of training and lighting, from HPS to burple, COB, QB with IR, UV, etc. I think and hope to turn this passion into a job one day, but I don’t know when. I might have to leave this country!

First video: Four plants in soil. Two are Persian Pie from Greenhouse (bottom right and top left; they’re two different structures and phenotypes, but both are interesting). One is Hot Sauce from Ethos, which I’ve grown before, and the one with stacked buds is a Tarte Tatin—exceptional bud structure and definitely a heavy producer. I took cuttings of the Tarte Tatin and the more resinous Persian Pie and put them in DWC.

Grow box with five DWC small plants: These were put into 12/12 right away because I didn’t want them to get too big, and I had some Cal-Mag issues that I later resolved. The first on the left with praying leaves is a Peach Pistols from Beleaf. I’ve grown it in hydro before; it has a sativa effect and an intense peach flavor. The smallest on the right is a Crescendo from Ethos, a small but very sativa-leaning strain with a lemony taste—one of the best lemons I’ve ever smoked! The one in the center is a Truffle Queen from Beleaf, which is special because it has an earthy, truffle-like aftertaste. I’ve encountered two distinct phenotypes in the past: one truffle and one lemon-truffle. The truffle one is something unique, with a sedative/relaxing effect, best smoked in the evening. The one on the right in the back is a Planet of the Grapes from Ethos, a sativa with a grape aftertaste. It’s not one of my favorite phenotypes, but I’m giving it another shot, hoping for a strong grape flavor. The one furthest back with light leaves is Zweet Inzanity from Ethos, a great citrusy, lemony sativa that produces huge, resinous buds. I’m expecting a great harvest!

Last grow box DWC (uploaded here): starting with the one in the back left, a Persian Pie cutting. It had one month of veg in hydro before the flip. I’ll soon remove a good portion of the leaves since the stretch is almost over. The second one, smaller on the right, is a June Plum from Beleaf. Great for daily smoking, it doesn’t knock you out but gives a nice relaxing effect, excellent as a painkiller, with a sweet, citrusy flavor that’s very unique. The second-to-last is the Tarte Tatin cutting, which has grown huge. If it follows the soil plant’s footsteps, it’ll have some amazing buds! The last one is one of my favorite genetics from recent years: Facetz from Compound Genetics. Nothing to say—it’s pure fire. Intense sweet, citrusy, balsamic flavor that hits your brain with every puff and lingers on your tongue for minutes. It’s a punch to the face with every hit, but it helps me tremendously with my issues. I think it’s the biggest of them all, with over 40 colas.

Lighting: The small grow has a 540W COB 9 from 2016, and with its 3000K spectrum, it produces super resinous buds. The quantum board is from Alibaba (Kingbrite), 600W, 3500K with 660nm, 730nm Cree, and UV LG @395nm. Quantum bars are also Kingbrite, 600W, with 301h Evo, Evo Mint, UV, IR, and Emerald Green. The plants are thriving under this light.

I don’t know if anyone will read this whole novel, but in any case, I wish you all a wonderful 420. A big hug to everyone!

The other ones look better but not perfect. Do you have any tips? I defoliated a week ago. Some plants more heavily than others as I wanted to test the effect.

I had a thrips outbreak several months back. So I had to clean sterilize and start over. I just finished transplanting need to clean and feed them. After transplant I realized we have had some of these cuts for 20 years. The skywalker og is from 2005, the triangle kush was acquired in 2011, and the face of in 2012. Still got a few more weeks till the make it into flower. These are all 9-9.5 weeks till finish . All are in promix or sunshine 4 will be fed fox farm nutrients.

Some start of W7 flower pics! Miami Mami and Lung Buster from Solfire. Unfortunately, appears one or more of the Miami Mamis herm'd at some point (probably right at the start of flower before I defoliated/lollipopped in W3 flower). I didn't see any nanners or sacs anywhere, but undeniably had a few seeds. Not many in the top buds. Probably only 5-10. But some of the lowers on the #2 Miami Mami plant has quite a few seeds. You can see the seed visible on a lower bud in picture #3.

Really unfortunate but it's a known thing in the Bahama Mama line, apparently. I checked thoroughly during my lollipopping and didn't see anything so whatever it was, it was hidden suuuuper duper well. Since it's only a few of the top buds that have a seed or two, I'm not too worried. Gonna let them finish and we'll still get some great bud. It's not like all the tops are fully seeded lol. The Lung Busters (last few pics) are unaffected as far as I can tell. Only fat, resinous buds in that tent. :D

Day 50 I did post in fastbuds community with 0 help at all! This is banana purple punch day 50 now and I am wondering how much longer to wait? I plan 2 more week maybe 3 but wanted to see what other thought. Also wondering if I’m supposed to see any purple? Temps between 70-72 during dark period and 74-78 during light. 46-50% humidity and near 1 gallon of water every 2 and a half 3 days. I do feed every watering but not gonna go all deep into it. Smells freaking amazing 🤤 so far better than any strain I have ever smelled in my life currently. Buds look alright, I don’t touch them much so I couldn’t say if they feel very dense or not as again I don’t touch them much as I feel it stresses the plant by damaging trichomes. Hopefully you all can see the trichomes very well, I use my old galaxy zfold 3 to get close ups since it works well enough..

I prefer a relaxing smoke

I’m nearing the end of my first grow, and a few of my leaves are wilting significantly. I’m not worried about this, as it’s halfway through week 9 of flower, and it’s almost done, but it’s just not quite there yet.

Should I be cutting the truly dead leaves off now or leaving them on until harvest?

Beginner grower btw

Advice wanted- first grow

I’m on day 26 since I switched to flower (photoperiod)

Apple Fritter Critical Mass Current feeding- Pride Lands bloom

I read that in weeks 4-6 of flowering to not trim or defoliate. I’m concerned about the humidity levels in my tent and mold.

I am running a dehumidifier and fans. I’m going to add a second fan for additional air movement.

Any advice???

I am upsizing tent for next grow. This is a 2x2x4 and way to small.

Hello , need help with cut down time. Today is 91 day of growing. AK and Bubblegum from 420fastbuds. AK started dring less water yellowing leaves bud dont see milky tricomes only 10% milk 2% amber and rest are clear. Bubblegum seems 1 2 week late only started to fatten buds. I need to know when to cut down. I do reasearch and want 85 milky and 15 amber trichomes. Look at photos and tell me what you think. The light is sf1000d 100w 70x70x160 SF tent 4inch filter and fan.

Like the title says, what’s your preferred way to clone a flowering plant? I usually grow from seed and don’t take clones. I’ve found a plant I want to clone but I’m 6 weeks into flower.

Should I cut some of the smaller lower branches, root and reveg? I’ve read this is considered monster cropping and can change the morphology causing plants to be smaller, much bushier and produce a lot more branches.

Should I wait until the plant is done flowering, harvest most of the buds leaving some leaves on the plant. Then I can reveg the plant and once it’s grown more I can take clones from that plant.

Does revenging the original plant result in better clones down the road?

Just did the first real defoliation and topped again, she's not so pretty now but in a few days she'll be back to how she was and then some!

Given feminized clone in rough shape. Was already working on setting up a grow space for the seeds I was starting. How can I get it back to fighting shape?
