Trouble reading today's article? Click here: Issue #540 - Sunday, August 28, 2022 Dear Fellow
Grower, In today's issue... - The flowering stage of a cannabis plant's life is exciting and brings joy to growers. Although the flowering stage can be a joy, it's also prime real estate for making a few goofs. We're going to give you specific directions so you can avoid
these goofs and bask in the sweet, sweet glory of doing (almost) everything right.
- This week Sirius and I were in Las Vegas for the 2022 Cannabis Conference. Our goal was to learn everything new growers have discovered about growing cannabis and we learned a LOT. I plan on sharing all the growing knowledge we learned with you over the next few weeks, read more below!
- I asked what you
wanted to see for our next grow experiment and you have spoken! The overwhelming majority of readers that responded to last week's newsletter said want us test plants in soil with nutrients vs no nutrients. Learn the details of the upcoming experiment below!
- You guys came out with guns blazing this week which made it way too hard to pick trophy pics...but what else is new? The plants in this weeks "Trophy Pics of the Week"
are beefy like they were trained by Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I wouldn't be totally surprised if these plants could bench-press him, too. One of them isn't as beefy, but it might be the stickiest White Widow I've ever seen.

Don't Make These 7 Flowering Stage Goofs! 7️⃣🌳🌼🤪 |

During the flowering stage, your marijuana plants are focused on making buds. They put no effort into staying healthy. That means you are much more likely to see yellow leaves, burnt tips, and other problems even though you’re giving the same level of care. This is especially common during the last 3-4 weeks before harvest time. Unfortunately, this is also when many beginning indoor growers get comfortable and aren’t paying as much attention to their plants. Cannabis plants need extra TLC (tender loving care) when they’re making buds. Cannabis plants can also throw you a few curve balls in the flowering stage that you need to watch out for. Don’t worry, I made all the mistakes for you in the last decade of growing at home, so I can warn you what to look for and how to prevent common problems before they become a problem. I put together this list to prevent 7 common cannabis flowering issues with
simple and effective solutions. This guidebook will walk you through the flowering stage from beginning to end so your plants produce great yields and excellent buds even if it’s your first grow. Learn how to prevent 7 common flowering stage
goofs! Sirius and I went to Las Vegas this past week to attend the official 2022 Cannabis Conference! Unfortunately, home growers often don't get access to the latest growing information discovered by commercial grow operations. Our goal was to uncover what growers have learned about creating the best
yields and bud quality, so we could share the latest information and research with you. Wow we learned a lot. And I will share it all with you over the next few weeks as we deep dive into what's going on when it comes to latest advances in grow light technology, how to increase yields/trichomes/density, new viruses affecting cannabis plants, what we've learned about terpenes, how to select the best genetics, and more! But real quick, here are two of my
biggest takeaways from the conference: - Growers for commercial grow operations are jealous of home growers, because home growers have a lot more flexibility and can typically grow better weed in the home environment. Having to grow weed for a business means their bosses care most about profit, which is frustrating for the growers who love cannabis. It made me appreciate the fact that we can grow whatever we want!
- Commercial grow businesses are
making important growing discoveries that aren't getting shared. While every grower I talked to was willing to share their knowledge, there isn't a good pipeline to get information about important new growing discoveries to home growers. As a result of this dynamic, a lot of home growers are missing out on new knowledge!
The good news for you, if you're a home grower, is I'm going to share everything so you get the best of all worlds. Stay tuned for more info starting next
week. Love, Nebula P.S. If you could ask a commercial grower any question, what would you ask? I sat through over 12 hours of classes by accomplished growers, so you don't have to :) More info next week!
Nutrients vs No Nutrients: What Difference Does it Make? |
|
|
Last week I asked what you want to see in our next experiment, and there was an overwhelming winner... You want to see a test of using nutrients vs no nutrients! What happens if you don't give plants nutrients? Can you get just as good results?

"Thanks for all you do!" ~Stephen You're welcome and thank you for reading! ~Sirius |
"High! I’d like to see the LED comparison! I think light intensity and no nutes would probably confirm more is better, in moderation of course! 😎 BTW, I’m 65, recently retired from the military, and have learned a ton from your site. Thanks for helping me pick up
where I left off nearly 50 years ago!" ~Mark I'm glad to we could help welcome you back. Make sure to let us know how it goes!
~Sirius "First off, thanks for the great work you guys do. I always enjoy reading your articles and find your website the absolute authority on growing related matters. A recent article you posted at the end of July on "How to Grow Organic Weed" piqued my interest in the subject. Personally, I
would be interested in seeing a side-by-side grow showing Organic vs Coco/Perlite. Thanks again for all you do...." ~Jim

"Feminized White Widow by 00Seeds
Grown indoors using fox farms soil and nutrient trio." ~East_Coast_Cultivation Jeez, that's some sparkly bud. I bet this strain won the fight against some trimming scissors. ~Sirius |
"Check out these monsters. The big one is Skywalker OG and measures 82" and the smaller one is OG Kush and measures 64". They are growing in the Southern Arizona desert." ~Jim Yup, I'd say that these plants definitely qualify as monsters. Just be careful not call them that too loudly or they might get angry. ~Sirius "First off. You two are awesome. Thank you for all the knowledge and great information on this site. The light intensity for thc sounds like a good test out of those three. I think a good study would be on the benefits or not of supplementing UVB and the affects on the the buds and trichome production. Thanks again and here's a
few shots of our 3rd grow coming to the end." ~Charles I see a sizeable trim party in your future. Congrats! ~Sirius [No description included] ~Kevin The mixture of colors and the beefy plants make for a
couple of mesmerizing photos! ~Sirius

We don't fall for scams here, buddy! Our readers are always on the lookout and we stay skeptical when it comes to dealing with unknown people asking for money. Although that doesn't make one immune to scams, it helps. Let's work together to stay vigilant and protect each other to make it harder for scammers overall. I think we all agree a world with fewer scammers would be a better
place! Remember when it comes to buying seeds: Real seed businesses don't contact you. They let you contact them. If anyone messages you to sell you seeds on social media, look out! It's possible they will take your payment and send nothing. Always take a second to think before sending money to anyone, especially if they contact you (whether by DM, text
message, phone call, email, etc.).
