    Just did a dive into this HORRENDOUS product. It says on the label it is 18 some % Vapona. That is actually a chemical called dichlorvos. Dichlorvos is NOT INTEDED FOR CONSUMPTION! AT ALL. A quick Google search “What is Vapona” shows the safety concerns of the product. Here is the info:

  • Safety

    Vapona is a restricted-use pesticide that can be dangerous if not used properly:

  • It can cause serious damage to museum objects.
  • It can cause poisoning symptoms such as weakness, headache, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
  • It can pose an aspiration pneumonia hazard.
  • It should only be used by certified applicators or under their direct supervision.
  • Do not contaminate feed, water, milk, or milk handling equipment.
  • After reading into it even more from a couple clicks, this product is NOT SAFE for consumption or smoking. I highly suggest you dont smoke what has been contaminated. I never understood why someone would use some random thing they found on Amazon. There are tons of proven SAFE and EFFECTIVE things growers can use to battle pests in the grow room. This stuff is poison created by The Shell Corp (yeah that Shell) in 1963.

    These are of course my opinions based on the info I found. I highly suggest you do research before putting anything on the or in the area of something you consume. I found all this info in about 7 minutes of Googling. Good luck and I hope your pest pressure gets better.

    PS: I use Azamax, Pyganic and ZeroTol (NOT the Ed Rosenthal one. That on is overpriced trash.) You can also use predator mites. Swirski and cucameris are good ones. Hopefully that helps. ✌

    Their seeds are decent but their clones are NOT the original breeders cuts. They just something someone hunted out of a pack. I was super disappointed in that.

    Honestly its super duper easy to make canna butter. Take 7-14 (21 if you have a really high tolerance) GRAMS and put it in a small canning jar (16 oz aka pint sized). Put in 2 sticks of CLARIFIED butter or GHEE butter. THERE IS NO NEED TO DECARB. It will happen in the process. Put your jar inside a boiling pot of water with the lid closed. Let it go for 2 and a half hours. Take off and let it cool enough so that you don’t burn yourself but also still warm so that it’s easier to strain. Strain with cheesecloth. The more you squeeze the cheese cloth, the more green taste you get into the butter. It’s all about what you want out of it. I get butter that isnt even green. It looks mostly like butter. It does have a slight taste but nothing crazy because I leave the nugs the size of a dime or slightly bigger. Grinding it up will make it more green and taste worse. The liquid will permeate through the flower and grab all the thc. And that is basically it. Super easy. Doesnt smell until you open the jar after cooking it. But the actual cooking process is very much sealed and doesn’t smell. You could even light an incense right before you open the jar and nobody should be able to smell it as long as you wrap up before the incense is out. I have done this in an apartment before with zero smell. EZ PZ, hardly no smell, canna butter. ✌

    Adding perlite at 30% will help with drying out. Is your temps low is why its not drying back properly?

    Not sure where you got that soil but it looks like not very good quality. I would get them out of there ASAP and into some decent soil. Even if you feed that thing, I doubt that soil will be enough to maintain it. Could be wrong. But she is definetly hungry

    December 9, 2024 at 9:01 am in reply to: How, and how long can male pollen be stored best?

    You HAVE to dry your pollen out. IF you don’t, it becomes ruined. you also have to take out all the plant clusters from the pollen powder. If you leave those in, they will ruin the pollen as well. I have used pollen that was terrible stored for almost 4 years and it worked. That’s the oldest pollen i have gotten to take. I left my pollen out for 4/5 days to dry, after the initial day of harvest and picking out all the plant material. So roughly a week.

  • I would check your ppfd, since that is the only number you didnt really give. Did it ever get dry on you once to where it was droopy?

    Tons of great info here. I would double check your temps during the lights off period too. MAybe cut your lights off an hour and a half before you normally would and see how cold the water is when the lights are off. A drastic swing in temps can cause that to happen too. It might be getting super cold, like lower 60’s maybe, and then back to 72 and that will cause all sorts of issues.

    Like a few others have said, you can add 3% H202 to your buckets (I suggest weekly) to keep algae, root rot and most pathogens at bay. You can use much more than most people think. I was using 1/2 ounce to an ounce per 5 gals of water with great results. I suggest you use a single plant every grow to experiment and learn with. Good luck brother. ✌

    I run an online clone store with EVERYTHING being TC’d, offsite even, twice before going into the general veg area. We don’t have the biggest selection but our stuff is clean and absolutely amazing only stuff comes in. If 10/10 don’t like it, she don’t stay! We have the real deal 1994 Dogwalker, Triangle Kush, and the new candy & dessert flavors w/ Sundae Driver, GSC, Apple Fritter, etc. Just message me or check out the website.

    you have to make sure you keep the water ratio in balance with the nutrients.

    It’s kinda hard to tell a new grower what decent soil is. You just have to get known decent soils and compare the texture, smells, water holding capacity, etc. That looks to be top soil with a BUNCH of wood chips. Wood chips easily get mold.

    I suggest Fox Farm Ocean Forest. It’s the most commonly available soil to most people. Roots 707, buildasoil coots mix kit, KIS Organics water only kit, Fox Farm happy frog, Coast of Maine stonington blend, Indicanja, and tons of others. Just a quick list of stuff that is decent. Buildasoil has a nice coots mix that you can mix up yourself with just a bale of peat. Hopefully this helps.

    thats too low brother. Thats why your not getting the dry back. I suggest 78-82 range to get those to dry back more. Or like I said, add perlite to your mix if you just cant fix the environment.
