This will be a home for all things related to the cultivation of cannabis. The preferred focus here will be organic and sustainable growing methods, but any cannabis growers or growers-to-be are welcome!

The moderator and community creator here is in a legal cannabis state. It is therefore assumed that everyone sharing photos and info about their grows is also doing so legally.

Happy growing!

Natural split on the main stem, this is a first for me 😎

I started with Purple Cow Organics IndiCanja soil and added mycorrhizal, Gaia Green 4-4-4 All Purpose, and worm castings. Approximately one week before the flowering stage, I used Gaia Green 2-8-4 Power Bloom at a rate of 2 tablespoons per gallon of potting soil. Occasionally, I top dress with 2-8-4 and worm castings. Cal-mag is added with every watering for essential nutrients.

Grown under a Mars Hydro TSL2000, in a 10 gallon fabric pot. I can’t recommend that light due to recent reported device failures

Three freshly chopped males settling into their future life as compost. I had some suspicions about 2 of them and this morning it was obvious that they were males. Into the bin they go!

Got my girlies moved in to the greenhouse after I installed the solar fan. It feels much cooler in there when I walk in from outside.

Grasshoppers and rodents are awful outside right now so we moved some spinach in there also.

It will be crowded in there in a few weeks and is really like to try finishing at least one of these fully outdoors. Need to find a way to deal with the predators.

The three ladies in the tub for non-fertilizer watering, I still add MagiCal and SweetRaw(Sugar Daddy) to the non nutrient waterings, I’ve found less issues and not all tap water is the same. We are fortunate to have some of the cleanest water for a city our size (Calgary, Alberta).

The nutrient regime also only calls for every third watering to be nutrients, but I stopped that early and went with every second and there hasn’t appeared to be much of an issue, more nutrients is normally better.

Six plants, about 5 weeks, strain is (deep breath) “Vintage Pakistani x 88g13/hp (deep line alchemy II)” from Bodhi Seeds, currently in 5-gallon cloth pots.

I’d like to get them out of the wind and into my tiny greenhouse while they’re still small enough to be in there, but it’s too hot in there. For now they seem to be handling mid-100s temperatures and a decent amount of wind well enough (with an improvised windbreak that I’m constantly moving around).

I’m installing a solar exhaust fan tomorrow to help bring the temps down in the greenhouse. I’m hoping to be able to keep the plants in there for at least a couple of weeks until I can build a windbreak around our garden. Once that’s done, it’s back into the full sun and eventually some larger pots.

They're between 6-7ft tall now. The next layer of trellis will be going on today after a bit of defoliation. There's about 300 plants in here.

It seems like there are quite a few experienced growers on here. Could you share your insights for any newcomers? (e.g. me)
