I used a hot nail to clean the holes up in my drip rings after drilling them, they've been fairly reliable that way.

The faster you can grow a plant the more nutrients it can handle--i.e. more light = faster growth.

Lower branches usually go right when I put them into flower, and about 2-3 weeks in they get lower branches removed. No removing top colas within a week of flower, you want strong and dominant colas ready to flower, otherwise you'll get tiny buds that were never able to develop fully.

I do not remove shade leaves without taking its associated branch (for every shade leaf there is a node/branch) unless they're old and dying.

The art of trimming your plant is something you need to master. You can have a huge yield difference if you learn your plants needs and treat it right.

Cannaboost does work, but you have to pay a shit ton for it. I like using the generic from MBFerts.com and getting a 5L bottle of CannaBoost ($500) and a 5L bottle of Rhizotonic ($200) for about $60.

I actually get better results because I can afford to use it full strength.

It should work with any base nutrient. I give PK for 10 days starting week 4(or when/until they look like they need it, when they're getting ready to explode in growth.)

That plant doesn't look like its going to stretch much more. Pinching and tying the stems is the easiest solution to slow stretching down. It helps strengthen the stalk when it repairs itself.

Those look really good. pH is suppose to swing a bit so that you can get all the nutrients.


Hard to tell but maybe a potassium (K) deficiency. See if they get worse while your feeding them P-K.

Yep, pretty close to done. Looks good overall.

I agree, and frostiness is not an indication that the plant has a lot of THC either. When I was growing Grapegod most of the tricomes I harvest are clear and tested at 26% THC. The bud doesn't look especially coated.

I pulled a jar of grapegod that was curing for 1 year (jar the whole time, taped shut for 1 yr after drying) and none of the tricomes changed to milky or amber. Maybe a few of them  that was probably like that when I jarred them, but most were still clear. What I'd like to see is a lab test to compare what happens over a 1 yr period but I'm not that well stocked.

I'd chop them soon, three more weeks is a long time, but they could also take it from the looks of them.  I always recommend harvesting before or after it foxtails. Going the extra weeks on a strain can be either beneficial or a waste of time, but you gotta see how the strain responds to it.

When your drying your bud out its super flavorful for the first week then dries to proper moisture and looses the flavor for about two weeks before coming back slowly over the course of a month or two.  I think 2 months is the peak, 6 is also nice but the flavors start to transform and age. You'll start to loose some terpene flavor and gain another (aged/developed flavor).


Ordered a bunch of cheap mini hygrometers for $1.40 each. I got them the other day, mostly because I suspected that I left a little too much moisture in the jars when I sealed them and sure enough, most were in the high 60%. cheap and not very accurate (within 5%) but work for what they do.

If you get a bunch of them you can calibrate them to each other, and test with damp table salt inside a sealed bag--it will hold rH at %75. And they're pretty fast too, within a few seconds of being in the jar it starts to change change.

Ideally you will have your buds to the perfect moisture level before you jar them, otherwise you get that crispy on top, dank bud at the bottom effect.  Its best to have all the buds 'dry' to the same degree so they are redistributing moisture from the inside of the bud to the out, not from the bottom of the jar to the top, one bud to another.

Keep your nug sizes consistent so they are the same moisture level and have the same moisture retaining properties. Leafy bud will dry out nuggets because they will dry faster and suck the moisture out of the buds to compensate. And as fun as it is to have big fat colas I've started breaking the larger buds up too since they don't dry properly with a fat main stem in the center. If you want to keep your large buds large, keep them separated from the smaller stuff and make sure to dry it thoroughly. It sucks pulling a nug off the stem only to find its got white fuzz in the center.
