Well it’s that time again. Being super unoriginal and not creative, I will be doing another ‘guess the weight’ contest. Very simple: Guess the DRY weight, to the nearest 0.1g, of my most recent harvest of Dutch Passion’s delicious and potent Glueberry OG. Closest to the correct value wins! So just as an example, the numbers have to look like 23.4g, 69.9g,100.1g, 666.6g, etc. There were 3 plants in 1.5 gallon containers – my diary is here if you want to have a look through there for any additional hints. Not saying there are any but, lots of nice pics…

What is EC, and how does it work. This is a common question for new growers, especially if you are thinking about growing cannabis hydroponically. When growing in hydroponics, or mediums like coco, it is common for growers to use “salt based nutrients”. These nutrients, when added to water, will change the EC (electro conductivity) of the liquid. This means, electricity can pass through the water easier, by moving through the salt particles. This essentially, is what EC is. By measuring the conductivity of the water, you can tell how much food is in it. When you first test the

The soil will be very crumbly and unconsolidated, be messy, and probably more work/hassle than it needs to be. I wait until it’s slightly moist,

After weeks of vegetation, your plants will be ready to flower. This is when they will display signs of their sex, either male, or female. But sometimes, you may come across hermaphrodite cannabis plants, where the plants will display male and female parts.

Nobody really wants seeds in their buds. So in this guide we will explain how to identify if your cannabis plant has hermied,
