Grower, In today's issue... - If you've ever had problems with your cannabis plant, you're not alone! Today we're going to prove
this in a pretty embarrassing fashion!
- If you're looking for an eBook to keep you from reenacting the mistakes you're go to see below, we've got the answer!
- Once again, a first
time grower makes us look as bad as he shows off huge still-growing colas from his first outing!

It Happens to Every Grower! by Nebula Haze & Sirius Fourside |
As the buds from my last harvest slowly finish curing, I like to reflect on the grow I just finished as well as our past grows.
There are many lessons for growers to learn and I've learned a lot of them the hard way! But today, I want to share one of the most important lessons I've learned in my time growing cannabis:
Don’t be ashamed when you run into problems!
No matter your age or level of intelligence, as humans we continue to learn every day. And the fact of the matter is that every grower - no matter how naturally skilled - will run into problems at some point, some big and some small.
Remember, cannabis plants are living breathing things with
their own needs. It's only natural that their needs vary which can cause problems for growers, especially when combined with other unexpected events.
Those 'unexpected events' can be something like:
|
- Seeds don’t germinate
- Leaves get burnt, discolored or otherwise deformed
- Young plants die unexpectedly
- Space and growth problems
- Plants grow too big or tall way too fast
- Plants grow slowly, sickly or stay small and you don’t know why
- Plants get dropped, accidentally broken or fall over
- Lower yields than expected
- Poor taste or smell in buds, or undesired effects (like racing thoughts)
Every serious grower will encounter at least one of these problems at some
point:
- Mold or Bugs
- Nutrient deficiencies
- pH issues
- Unexpected pollination (seeded buds)
- Hermies
(pollen sacs appearing on female plants)
- An unrealized male plant
- Grow area and environmental problems
- Indoors: Electricity may go out, a piece of equipment fails
- Outdoors:
Bad weather or temperature will damage your plants
- Having to move or drastically change your growing operation
- And probably something even more unexpected!
Remember, what makes a great grower is the ability to bounce back from problems and learn from them. Every cannabis
grower is going to run into problems, it’s how you deal with them that separates the average from the spectacular.
We're no exception to this rule by any means; we've run into more than our fair share of problems over the years! If you want some proof, just check out this gallery of problems we personally experienced...as in, these pictures show OUR plant problems!
Seed sprouted but just didn't grow - was trailing behind the other seedlings - it
happens…
Stunted Growth - These plants are all the same age (note the two tiny seedlings on the right).
Yet even though the seeds were all germinated at the same time in the same environment, the "Super Lemon Haze" seeds on the right just never got past the seedling stage, even though the "Full Moon" seeds on the left were exploding with growth. In this case the problem was that the Super Lemon Haze seeds were old, but sometimes you won't be able to figure out why healthy plants aren't growing!
These buds were toasted by a too-close LED. When using an LED, make sure to know how far away it should be from
your plants! It's not just a matter of heat; most LED manufacturers suggest you keep LED grow lights at least 12-18" away from the tops of your plants to prevent bleaching and light
burn.
Hermies - Hermies are plants with both male and female traits, which can result in seedy buds (Learn more here)
Plain and simple neglect! This is a plant that didn't get the attention it needed! Despite all the problems we’ve run into over the years....
We still harvest more bud than we can use,
even after we make a bunch into oil and hash!
I hope we can help inspire you to push on when you encounter problems, and most importantly, never be ashamed!
Here are some additional resources to help you deal with problems when they show up:
And here are a few other resources to help you beyond the defensive:
Some other big lessons I've learned: - Take
time to really look at your plants every day
- Doing a simple check on your plants will make a world of difference, so much can happen in a couple of days if you're not paying attention
- React quickly to problems:
- Don’t wait until this afternoon or tomorrow
unless you actually have to. I know I’ve let laziness get the best of me a time or two, and I've regretted it every time.
- Not every problem has a obvious solution:
- Sometimes there will be certain plants that have a problem that you just can’t figure out. Sometimes you’ll realize what the problem was later after you’ve gained more
knowledge and experience, but some problems will always remain a mystery...and that’s okay!
- Other people may know things you don't:
- You'd be shocked at how often we're learning new things from people who write in to the website.
- Always keep
learning!
- Whether you just got started or have been growing for 30 years, there’s always more to learn about growing. If running this site has taught us anything, it's that there is a TON we don't know.

Trophy Pictures of the Week |
"1st grow. 2 seeds from Seedsman. Critical x AK47 (feminized). Hydro Bubbleponics. I wanted to thank you very much as I am just a few days away from harvest. I used your amazing web site to set up everything I needed for my grow. I followed the pictures, tutorials and examples that you document so very well. Everything I needed was on your
site. I am estimating that I will harvest close to 1 full pound of these beauties. I have had the best time learning and starting this new hobby. I am a 46 year old who always wanted to do this and thanks to you I pulled it off! AMAZING and THANKS for doing the work that you do."

bubbleponics).
"Growing cannabis is a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much
easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any. But whether you want to grow in water, coco, or a different medium, we'll show you how easy it can be!"
