When are outdoor buds ready to harvest? |
|
|
Cannabis buds come in all shapes and sizes! Although variety is the spice of life, it can make it a little confusing to know when to harvest your buds based on how your plants look. Especially as an outdoor grower because outdoor buds often look a little different from buds grown indoors. For example, the buds are often leafier (though not always) But if you harvest when buds are ready, you’ll get the best yields and potency, so it’s a good idea to try to harvest at the right time if you can. Since most outdoor buds in the northern hemisphere should be ready to harvest in the next month or so, I wanted to share pictures of what they should
look like: Too early to harvest when... - Many white hairs on buds are still sticking straight out
Ready to harvest when... - Most hairs have darkened and curled in
Note: If you know the weather is going to turn freezing cold or rainy, it's better to harvest early to prevent the chance of bud rot. Too Early to Harvest
What causes brown spots on cannabis leaves? |
|
|
Note: these brown markings were caused by too much heat and light. Brown spots on cannabis leaves… the bane of home growers! Brown or bronze markings on leaves are extremely common cannabis growing symptoms. Luckily, it is usually simple and easy to fix once you determine the root cause. Diagnosing brown leaves can be difficult because many cannabis plant problems can cause similar symptoms. If you’ve been
frustrated by this problem, you’re not alone. The first major cannabis growing problem I ever struggled with was scorched brown spots on leaves. I haven’t seen someone put all the most common triggers and solutions to brown spots on cannabis leaves in a tutorial before, so I’ve compiled this list for you. I hope this list of the most common
problems and solutions with pictures helps you as much as it would have helped me when I started growing 🙂 1.) Low PH (especially under 6 pH)
Regardless of whether you’re growing in soil, coco, or hydro, the #1 reason growers see brown marks is the pH is too low at the roots (typically under 6 pH). The following symptoms were all caused by low pH at the roots |
Some growers will naturally have low pH (acidic) water, which can cause these symptoms if you don’t use a PH Up solution to correct the issue. Certain nutrients or soils can reduce the pH, so it’s always good to test the pH even if you’re starting with great water. Keep reading for tons more pictures, and learn what it looks like when plants are experiencing brown spots due to... - light burn
- heat problems
- overwatering or underwatering
- calcium deficiency
- other nutrient deficiencies
- bugs or pests
- and more!
Plus learn the 3 most important factors to
prevent brown leaves. Check out the complete tutorial!

"Your site is fantastic.
Best and most comprehensive site I've found about cannabis.
Good writing, good graphics. Features like Plant Doctor, with photos of various ailments, all in one place, are terrific.
Yours is the first actual one-stop shopping source I've found re
growing." ~Daedalus Hey Daedalus, (love the name by the way. For those who don't know: In ancient Greek mythology, Daedalus was an architect and craftsman who was seen as a symbol of wisdom, knowledge and
power) Thank you so much for these kind words. It's hearing from people like you that keep us motivated to keep updating the website! ~Nebula |
"Well done on your conference investigation piece. Get info that can be used by us homegrowers. Love & appreciate all the work you two do for all of us. I'm 50yrs now & back in the day if you didn't know a grower personally, it was hard as hell to get any knowledge on growing top shelf flower. It was personal experience you relied on
& most got so discouraged & went back to the Mexican brown weed we were flooded with in the 80's. 🤢 I knew I would see it legalized in my lifetime but had no idea a site like yours would be the go to for the best info for homegrowers.
Keep up the great work & thank you for my top shelf sticky icky I can grow because of the work & experiments you
do.
Happy day!"
~Burnzy Hey Burnzy, how crazy the last few decades have been when it comes to cannabis legalization. We still have a
long way to go but it's going in the right direction. I'm so glad to hear the website has helped you learn how to grow amazing weed. Cannabis plants want to produce amazing weed we just need to treat them the right way and they'll do all the work! ~Nebula "I just wanted to say thank you my name is Kevin I sent you pictures that you had in your last week of August issue and I am so happy to use my pictures thank you so so much." Hey Kevin, I'm so glad to hear that. Your plants look spectacular and deserve the exposure. For those who missed them, check the pics out here and here. ~Nebula

No message included... This series of pictures sent in by grower Sweetleaf tells a whole story. First you get to see the plants when they are still in the vegetative stage.... |
Next, you get to see what they look like after they've started flowering and making big fat buds. Beautiful! But something I really loved about these pictures is Sweetleaf took the time to take a picture of their plant support system. I've never seen anyone make a custom setup like this, but it seems super effective. The cool thing about using PVC pipe like this is that if you heat it you can actually bend it into the exact shape you want. Yet once it
hardens you've got a strong support system that a plant can't bend. Thanks for the sweet pictures Sweetleaf! ~Nebula P.S. If anyone else has created a unique or DIY support system, we'd love to see it! Reply to this email if you've got pictures to
share. "Strain: Cherry Head
Breeder: Unknown
Nutrients: Athena @ 15-1600 ppm, pH 5.8.
Environment: Indoor controlled, 58% humidity, 75 degrees
Stage: 5th week flower" ~SiiFye_Nugz Trichome city! You seriously have trichomes covering almost your
entire leaves. In my experience this is associated with strong potent buds and a great smell. With the name "Cherry Head" I'm sure this strain is no exception. Excellent! ~Nebula "These are mostly Humboldt Vanilla Frosting, (also 1 Barney’s Gorilla Zkittlez) in my 4x4. My fourth grow. 7 gallon fabric pots with natures living soil super soil in bottom
3rd. Roots Organics terp tea top dressing. Light is Mars hydro FC4800." ~Byrdman420 I haven't seen the Mars Hydro FC4800 LED in action yet, and I am impressed. It's interesting that it can be
folded in half for shipping and storage. It seems like you get all the power of a 600W HPS in a 4'x4' for less electricity and a fraction of the heat. Your plants are thriving, and those buds look like they're still going to get much fatter. Impressive! I may have to try this new generation of Mars Hydro lights. ~Nebula Look at those chunky buds up close! They are still all white hairs, which means these buds are going to get a lot bigger before they're ready to harvest.🏆

Kitboga is taking a different approach in the fight against scammers
|
Normally this section talks about how to protect yourself from scams (weed growers are often targeted with fake seed scams), but this week I wanted to thank someone who's fighting the good fight against scammers. A man known as "Kitboga" runs a Youtube
channel where he pretends to be a potential victim and wastes the time of phone scammers for hours on end with hilarious antics. It's so satisfying to see scammers get a piece of karma and I highly recommend checking out his channel for a laugh. It warms my heart that he's literally making a living by foiling scammers. And 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.).

We encourage you to forward this email to a friend in need!
GrowWeedEasy.com has hundreds and hundreds of pages! Check out some articles you may not have seen... Nebula’s Cannabis Grow Journals & Experiments (Side-by-Side Tests) - Nebula is a testing machine. She couldn't stop doing side-by-side experiments even if she wanted to! This page details all of her documented grows up to date, and the list will keep growing as Nebula keeps
thinking of new crazy things to try. And since every test gives her ideas for ten more tests, I think this page has a lot more content coming. Nebula’s Cannabis Defoliation Experiment - This experiment has been surprising. It's not that the results are totally unexpected, it's just weird to do the tests and see how it unfolds in real life. I got to see the whole thing unfold over months as the grow progressed, but you get to check it all out in a few minutes with some weed and/or coffee. Does a 3-Day Dark Period Before Harvest Increase THC? - Never mind what I said about the last page, THIS one was surprising. I've been growing cannabis for over a decade and I always thought this was a just a myth, but this test run by Nebula is definitely making the idea seem more legitimate. More tests to come!
