On the other hand, if you harvest a cannabis plant too late, the THC will degrade, and your plant can produce seeds, or bud rot and mould. Finding the right time to harvest your cannabis plants is a personal preference for most growers. Some prefer to let their plants ripen for a little longer, and push for a high amount

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.
