Hello everyone, I planted 2 feminized autoflowering Il Diavolos about 2 weeks ago and now there is a perforation on the leaves. I added Neem to the water 2 times. I also sprayed them a couple times with it. It might get washed away though as the plants get very wet every night due to high humidity. Any idea whats causing the holes? One pic shows an orange dot (on the first pic, quite far up to the left of the leaf stem), and on another one i can see a white something.

New Grower, SE Queensland, grew some great heads, now drying...In the bottom of my drying container (only used for this grow), I've found say, 30 seeds......but, these were heads! where did the seeds come from? Don't the heads have to get with a male (ie be fertilized) before they produce seed? I had one male, but pulled him out as soon as his sex was evident, and the ladies did not appear to have anything to fertilize at that stage. If there is such a thing as seed produced from unfertilized ladies, and if so, will they sprout next season?

Hi all, i'm having some problems with ph rising. I'm running a bio-bucket or DWC system - 500L, the same system i've been running for a few years now. Never had a problem with unstable PH till the last couple of grows. I've been using the same nutes, Dutchmaster gold (their full range used at their recommended levels) for the last couple of years too, nothing has changed with regard to the system or the nutes. I run a 6800Lph pump that turns the water in the buckets over about 10 times an hour plus each individual bucket has its own airstone. Water temp is a balmy 21-23c. Now when i mix up a fresh batch of nutes i adjust the PH to around 5.5 - 5.8 as recomended by DM b…

Hi all Due to circumstances beyond my control I had to leave my 2 girls under a 125W cfl each for longer than usual. This time they were under it for 6 weeks and in cramped conditions. They are lanky (thin skinny branches) stretching for the light with large internodal gaps. Only now can I put them under a 600HPS each to finish off the veg stage, but what can I do to transform them back to half decent plants? Will any of the cropping techniques remedy this i.e super cropping, topping etc. I always use LST anyway, bending the main stalk at about 2-3 weeks of veg and grow them parallel to the pot, but I am going to need something else to take this stretched lanky pro…
