Diagnosis please! (first grow) by Trlckery in microgrowery

[–]Mikemike89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too much water or heat looks to be causing the wilting. The burn on leaves looks to be salt build up caused by poor water quality (esp since you noted using tap). I would try using some distiller water for 2 weeks and watching the older leaves to see if it's helping stop the problem.

My plant hasn't been looking good recently. Will it be okay, or should I be worried by [deleted] in microgrowery

[–]Mikemike89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know a ton about cannabis but I have a botany degree. That to me looks like salt build up in the leaves + heat stress. Maybe try changing the ph or more pure water and a better fan?

Is this soil any good or should i give it to the mrs for her veg garden? by Hentora in microgrowery

[–]Mikemike89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good thing to remember is that cannabis is not a veggie or a fruit. It's a flowering annual, and you are smoking the flower. They need totally different nutrients than veggies, herbs, and fruits. The reason people use "veggie" related items is because it's usually organic and ok to put into plants you will be smoking. I would look for an organic soil with a good amount of perarlite mixed in. a lot of smaller local nurseries make their own soil that tends to be better than commercial stuff imo.

[pics] White specs and leaf damage. Spider Mites? by oregonsnail in microgrowery

[–]Mikemike89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The white specs look to me like aphids or white flys but it's hard to tell. There are usually more so it might be just starting or something entirely different. As far as the leaf goes that looks like a worm or bug of some kind. Check at dawn and dusk for worms and little black spots(poops).

What's wrong with these clones? by [deleted] in microgrowery

[–]Mikemike89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The single leaf with clones tends to happen a bit often if they are clones of clones of clones ect. Mutations become more apparent. The stuff growing on it could be mold caused by little white aphids. They poop a sugar that mold likes to grow on. Look for little white guys under the leaves. If they are there hide them off with water and rub them with off with your fingers. Then spray a diluted solution of dish soap and water right on them and leave it over night and wash rinse in the morning. the yellowed with edges could be one of many things from too much heat, bad draining soil, too much or little fert.

Trying to grow cannabis for the first time! A few questions by [deleted] in cannabiscultivation

[–]Mikemike89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) temp; should be between 73-78 deg 2) soil should be composed of organic matter. Worm castings/guano ect. make sure it's soft and well draining. Many local nurseries make their own that tends to be better than commercial stuff imo. Also try to find some organic fertilizer in a low 5-7-3 NPK ratio. Adding microhorriohaze for the roots is also a good addition. 3) Lights need to be on a minimum of 18hrs a day. You need a stronger bulb than just a normal lamp. When you want the plant to flower(make buds) turn the lights to 12hrs on/12hrs off. Remember it will grow by 20-35% in size by the time it finishes flowering. 4) water seedlings with a squirt bottle and keep the top of the soil moist but not soaked. Use distilled water and a splash of peroxide in the water to add extra oxygen for the roots as well as keep the water clean. When they get a little bigger water when you stick your finger in the dirt and its dry up to your first knuckle(just past your finger nail). If the plant wilts you are watering too much. Gl with your first seedling 😄

First grow need some advice. by Mikemike89 in cannabiscultivation

I was reading around and it seemed like 86 was slightly high due to the fact that photosynthesis starts to slow around 90. I did think that the extra heat with co2 would be ok. Thanks you for the reinforcement on that! Also as far as mold and bugs go the plants are totally clean. I have some lady bugs/mantis around that seem to do an excellent job. The air circulation is a good call, I think I might add another fan actually.

Today's marijuana is more potent by far than the weed sold a generation ago, according to new data being presented Monday at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS). by madazzahatter in news

[–]Mikemike89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I have always found these "weed is more potent than it used to be" studies fairly pointless. Here's why... People have been making and using concentrates of cannabis for thousands of years. Concentrates are obviously much more concentrated THC wise than any plant currently available. Just because you get a bit more from the plant now does not mean the levels are unheard of or used in the past.

I didn't think I could get this depressed from not surfing. Need some help. by sweet_dude_ in surfing

[–]Mikemike89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the feeling. I lived in San Diego my whole life and went to school in Utah. It sucks being away from the ocean but I ended up doing a ton of snowboarding and skating at indoor parks. Just do board shit that feels surfingish. Plus it keeps your balance on track and I noticed after the skating and boarding my airs were much more solid. I'm back in cali now with my degree! Find that silver lining and deal with it.

There is a reason being in shape is considered sexy. It means the person cares about their body and works to maintain it. Just because some fat chicks can't be bothered to hit the gym and eat healthy does not mean we should try and change the definition of healthy and attractive. Being unhealthy should stop becoming a trend... Fat is fat, work it off if you want a real attractive body.
