Dear Fellow
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!
- Are you planning to start your indoor grow soon? Don't go in blind! Check out our super-helpful shopping list for multiple setups!
- This weeks trophy pic is a grower showcasing a tent full of flowering Afghan Kush colas. 'Nuff said!
- Updates on Forum Closures
- GWE Official Forum: We're back up and running with faster load times and better code! Come check us out!
- GWE Google Plus Community: For those who don't know, our Google+ community was closed by Google without warning "due to spam". We appealed the decision as soon as possible, but all we've received in 6 weeks
is this message. We actually don't send email from our G+ group at all, and all notifications were sent from Google's system, so we're left to assume that we were shut down for other reasons. At this point, it doesn't look like they're actually looking into the appeal and we have been
given no means to escalate the problem. We sincerely apologize to our G+ fans for this issue and we hate to lose all that precious data, but it looks like Google has permanently shut down our group Google+ group. If they give us the opportunity to reopen it with data intact, we will jump at the chance!

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 my 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!
|
"There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're
necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go."
~Richard Bach No matter your age, background or level of intelligence, as humans we continue to learn every day. And the truth 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 from plant to plant; these differences between plants can cause problems for growers, especially when combined with other unexpected events.
Those 'unexpected events' can be something like:
Every serious grower will encounter at least one of these problems at some point:
- Mold, Mildew or Bugs
- Nutrient deficiencies
- pH issues
- Unexpected pollination (seeded buds) from a hermie (male parts
appearing on female plants) or 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
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 grower 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… Learn how to prevent the most common germination
problems
Stunted Growth - These plants are all the same age (note the two tiny seedlings on the right side - you may need to click for a closeup to even see them!). 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 seemingly healthy plants aren't growing! From one of my first grows, leaves are nutrient burnt
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 16-18" away from the tops of your plants to prevent bleaching and light burn. Learn more about growing with LEDs. White Powdery Mildew (white flour-like dust appears on leaves in spots)
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 and suffered from heat, light bleaching, pH problems and
more! 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 hash and capsules!
Learn how to make your own Dry Ice Hash or Cannabis Capsules!
I hope we can help inspire you to push on when you encounter problems, and most importantly, give up on yourself!
What?! Bonus tips and resources?!

Nebula Haze:
I'll be honest with you, when I first started growing, I struggled. Now, it is my mission to
make it easier for new growers to get started as well as help advanced growers get bigger, better yields with less time and money. We are updating and adding articles every single week and our goal is to eventually build a comprehensive growing resource so anyone and everyone can grow if they want to! If we all share the knowledge there's more buds in the world for everyone :) |

Sirius Fourside:
Sirius Fourside is a hobbyist grower who has gained the bulk of his experience growing in water as a medium (deep water culture, bubbleponics).
"Growing cannabis can be 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!"
