Interest in an outdoor variety open trial garden?

Lazy stoned Sunday ideas…

In theory, would anyone be interested in visiting a public outdoor trial where 100+ strains are grown side-by-side under identical conditions if available in their region?

The idea would be to see how different genetics perform in your local environment and allow breeders, growers and consumers come together at the end of the season to review results and share insights.

Would that be of interest for any outdoor growers? I feel as if a neutral collaborative trial garden would benefit everyone involved!

Trolmaster Aqua-X Pro App Sync

Any Trolmaster experts that can solve my sync issue your help is appreciated. Im trying to add hardware like the WCS-2 medium sensor and 120vac pump controllers to the mobile app and nothing shows up. I can see and control everything on the Aqua-X Pro mounted to the wall in the grow room but the only thing i can see in the app is the reservoir on the AMP-3.

I deleted the controller from the app and re-added it and still the same issue.

Thoughts?

Drippers don’t stop dripping after pump shutdown

Hey folks! Fellow microgrower here.

I installed an automatic irrigation system with a seaflo 33 dc pump and netafim cnl drippers (0.5 gph & 2 gph) for 1-4 plants

I tested my setup and can’t figure out why the drippers still run or don’t stop directly after the pump was turned off.

Do you professionals have an idea how to handle this?

Loud ass fans

I’ve got eight 20” HAF fans. They work great but they’re loud as fuck. I can hear them a good distance away from the building they’re in. Any way to damper the noise? They’re screwed into the trusses through the drywall.

Oscillating fans and Vivosun eurolight with integrated fan?

This is my first time posting and am getting educated for sure. Just started growing and love it but can get overwhelmed with all the information out there so my first question of I am sure many more to come. I have the vivosun lights with the integrated fans in the light, I also have the vivosun eurowave oscillating fans…question is should I use both or does it even make sense?

Any feed back is appreciated.

Happy growing.

Where Can I Find Blue Dream Seeds in Bulk?

Hey fellow growers,

I've been on the hunt for some Blue Dream seeds, but it's tough to figure out the best place to snag them. Anyone have solid recommendations on where to get some quality seeds? Looking for reputable sources, preferably ones you've had good experiences with.

Small room build opinions

I am in the process of acquiring a new grow and the rooms are 14 x 15 x 10 it comes equipped with minisplit but that's it. I'm planning on adding humidifier and dehumidifier but the old room builds have air exchange. I am wondering if I would be able to get away with that for a few runs and come back to upgrade the room to a sealed CO2 environment. Or if I should just go straight sealed rooms. The ambient humidity is around 30%.

I'm going to put 3 trays with 9 lights total.

Transitioning to Commercial Growing—Strain Recommendations?

After several years of growing on a smaller scale, I’m excited to be transitioning into commercial cultivation. My setup is ready, and I’ve taken care of all the necessary permits, but I’m finding myself a bit overwhelmed with the sheer number of strain options available.

I’m looking for strains that are well-suited to commercial operations—ideally, those with strong yields, resilience to pests and diseases, and consistent market demand. While I understand every market has its is different, I’d love to hear your recommendations or experiences with strains that have performed well for you.

Microbe Tea, ph, and mixing microbe brands....

Doing a weekly Microbe Tea for my girls and I am running into some questions I cant find answers to.

My RO water comes out with a Ph of 6.4. I add 1 Tbsp of Organic Agave Syrup, the recommended doses of King Crab Microbes (.5ML per gallon), Fish Sh!T Microbes (3ML per Gallon) and Real Growers Recharge (1/2 Tsp per gallon) and let that sit with an air stone for 24-36 hrs.

Now, while mixing, the Ph of the Tea Does not change at all UNTIL I add the Real Growers Recharge which kicks me from 6.5 to 9.1 Which I am aware is what recharge says it does but to just leave it at that PH and the microbes will fix it.

MY QUESTION is, Am I damaging/Killing off the Microbes that the Fish Sh!t and King Crab are providing to the tea because of that Initial spike in PH when adding the recharge??

Thank you In advanced for any insight or 2cents into the subject! Y'all the real MVP's

Hydrating 6x6 rockwool cubes

How tf do you hydrate these things without getting soaked?

Otherwise, what kind of waterproof gear are you wearing?

Trying to do 1000 at a rip. Haven't found anything better than soaking 16 at a time in totes but there's gotta be something better.

I was raided in 2020. Have some interest again. How is the market?

Hey guys! Pretty basic question. How is the commercial wholesale market for indoor, as well as greenhouse/light dep?

4 years ago I was looking at 1200 for my deps and 1800 for my indoor. I assume it's much lower now.

I'm in california.

Also, have LEDs taken over a lot of the indoor cultivation or is it still mostly DE HIDs?

14x50 room

Hey guys, got a really odd shaped room I'm trying to build out. Just had a couple of questions.

So for a room that has 2 rows of (10x) 670 watt LED lights, is it best to have two 320 ppd dehumidifiers on opposite sides of the room, or would it be fine if I had only one 710/876 ppd dehumidifier located around the middle of the room with proper airflow? Ceilings are about 10 feet, we are growing with coco pots on pot risers. So (should) have enough space to mount above the canopy as we will not be using tables.

As for air movement fans, would it be optimal to have the air move in a Vortex pattern around the room, or have oscillating fans above the canopy?

We will not be running co2, how much fresh air should I bring into the room every minute/minutes/hour? How many times should I refresh the air in 1 hour?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Help Needed: 60 Hours of Continuous Light During Flowering

Hey everyone,

We ran into an issue at our grow operation, and I’m hoping to get some advice or insight from those with more experience. Here’s the situation:

One of our employees accidentally messed up the light controller, and the flowering room ended up with 60 hours of continuous light. Unfortunately, since it was a Friday evening, we didn’t catch it until early Monday morning (around 5 AM). The weekend staff didn’t notice because the lights were supposed to be on when they checked.

The plants were 15 days into flowering when this happened.

Here are my questions:

  1. What are the likely consequences of this light stress? Is it guaranteed to push the plants back into veg?
  2. Is there anything we can do to mitigate the impact or prevent them from reverting to veg?
  3. If they do revert to veg, should we scrap them completely to avoid risks like hermaphrodites?

We do have some younger plants we could move into this room in about 10 days, so if worst comes to worst, we’re estimating about 30 days of downtime for this room.

EDIT: Light was dimmed to 10% power for 60 Hours, not full power**

Best environmental practices for storing your harvest?

Hey all, commercial operator here.

Currently, all finished products (flower, etc) is stored in temperature controlled (55F) walk in cooler. Flower is stored in turkey bags, inside of air tight buckets. At that facility, I didn’t build controls for humidity in the walk in, as products are stored in air tight containers.

I’m building out a distribution facility, and was going to add another walk in, when I started to wonder if it’s even necessary. What are your guys’ thoughts? Flower is A-grade indoor, so maximizing freshness is of priority.

Any other input on our storage? We’re considering switching to grove bags but haven’t finished our tests on them to decide if they work or not.

Decent Ph/EC combo meters for techs to keep in their packs?

I've had to replace 4 Hanna Groline meters this year. We're down to one and I have to keep it in our Fertigation room so nobody takes it and breaks it.

This has led me start looking for personal pens that can go in the techs fanny packs and makes them responsible for their own meter.

Any decent meters that do pH and EC and are cheaper that Groline?

Exploring Myrcene Terpene: Benefits and Favorite Strains

I've been diving into the world of terpenes lately, and I wanted to share my experiences and learn more from you all. One terpene that's really caught my attention is myrcene. It's known for its earthy, musky scent and is found in many cannabis strains, as well as other plants like hops, lemongrass, and thyme.

From what I've read and experienced, myrcene has some impressive benefits:

  • Relaxation and Sedation: Myrcene is believed to enhance the relaxing effects of THC, making it great for winding down.

  • Pain Relief: This terpene has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which can help with chronic pain.

  • Sleep Aid: Due to its sedative effects, strains high in myrcene can be excellent for those struggling with insomnia.

Here are a few strains with high myrcene content that I've tried and loved:

  • Granddaddy Purple: This classic indica is a myrcene powerhouse. It helps me relax and get a deep, restful sleep. Perfect for nighttime use.

  • Blue Dream: A balanced hybrid with a decent amount of myrcene. It provides relaxation without knocking me out, making it great for evening use.

  • Mango Kush: As the name suggests, this strain has a strong mango aroma thanks to its high myrcene content. It's super relaxing and great for chilling out after a long day.

  • OG Kush: Another favorite with a good amount of myrcene. It helps with pain and stress relief, leaving me feeling calm and happy.

I'm curious to hear about your experiences with myrcene-rich strains. Have you found any particular strains that work well for relaxation, pain relief, or sleep? How do you feel about the effects of myrcene compared to other terpenes?

Looking forward to your recommendations and insights!

Where to Buy Super Lemon Haze Seeds in Bulk?

Hey folks,

I'm on the hunt for some legit Super Lemon Haze seeds, but with all the options out there, I'm getting lost in the weeds (pun intended ). I want a reliable place with good genetics since I've had bad luck with seeds that didn’t germinate or just didn’t turn out right.

Anyone got solid recommendations on seed banks that carry legit SLH? Preferably ones that ship to the US, and bonus points if they're discreet. Trying to avoid customs issues, ya know?

Thanks in advance for any tips!
