I wont link products because I’m not looking to make money off of this but feel free to ask. This was originally desgined for 12 plants but I had to take an additional 14 plants as a favor.

As a disclaimer, this is fully legal in my state.

To be honest, I’d much rather deal with 12 at a time than this much, but, hey, this has given me the flexibility to prune like there is no tomorrow. So that’s exactly what I did.

Other than the full spectrum LEDs this is a very typical tent. All CoCo with GH product all around. The lights get HOT! Anybody who tells you that LEDs are cooler than HPS are full of it. The plants eat watts and 2,400 watts in LED or HPS is going to generate heat. That being said, the LED’s tuned spectrum has these babies growing as of they’re trying to break a record or something.

Anyways, somewhat shitty video but yeah, 26 plants, 2 weeks into flowering, somewhat of a SCRoG setup… first time grower… any tips or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Harvest Time! – Monster Grow – First Indoor Marijuana Grow Flowering Update & Trichome Close-Up

Hi youtube! Thanks for tuning in.

It’s worthwhile getting something that can help you see the trichomes. It’s the only real way to know when to harvest. Even then, be careful what equipment you use. For example, my cheap USB microscope/endoscope is very picky about its platform and cable positioning. Even so, it’s useful for zooming in on the trichomes and seeing how many amber, clear, and cloudy trichomes there are.

Harvest when 10-30% of the trichomes are amber for a nice balance. Harvest when they’re mostly cloudy for a heady high. The more amber trichomes there are the more of a couch-lock you will get.

Germinating Cannabis Seeds for Recirculating Deep Water Culture

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Seeds. No Comments on Germinating Cannabis Seeds for Recirculating Deep Water Culture

After some miscues with germinating cannabis seeds directly in Rapid Rooter seed starting plugs I decided to switch up my the methodology in which I germinate.

Germination Method:

– Soak seeds in a cup of purified or distilled water for roughly 30 hours. By 30 hours the seed should have split open and a small white taproot will become visible. If the seed has not opened you can allow the seed to stay in the water for up to 48 hours, however, leaving the seeds in water longer than 2-3 days can risk drowning of seeds.

– Once the seed has cracked and the white taproot is visible, the entire cup of water with the opened seeds in it should be poured over a few folded paper towels into a lidded container. Excess moisture must be removed as you do not want the seeds to be sitting in a puddle of water. Make sure that the paper towels stay moist but not completely soaking wet. Close up the container and place it in a warm dark place. I usually wrap the container in a black bag and place it on a heating mat. If the seed is already showing a taproot when placed in the container then it should take only another 24 hours for the taproot to grow to 1 cm long and become ready for transplant.

– Using tweezers, gently grab the seed with the taproot hanging out making sure to never touch the actual root. I grab the seed & taproot which now look like a sperm and transplant then into my growing medium with the tail facing down. Personally I use rooting plugs which get cut open to make transplant easier and then cover the top hole by a tiny piece of the Rooter plug.

– Once the sperm looking seed & tail are transplanted into the plugs they will then break the surface between 12 – 24 hours.

***Since moving to this method of seed germination I have had a 100% Germination rate!!!
