Issue #438 - Sunday, September 4, 2020
Dear Fellow Grower,
In today's issue...
- The danger of an advanced strategy is that it typically comes with a cost. Sometimes that cost is a higher risk; sometimes, the cost is time spent learning a skill. Today, we're eliminating the first cost from the equation. You'll be able to perform advanced techniques with a much higher chance of success!
- I love tools that make my life easier or make a routine task even slightly more fun. I've even purchased tools knowing at the time that they wouldn't be super helpful. Below, we have the culmination of our testing: a list of tools that are worth every penny!
- We have lots of big, beautiful buds in the trophy pics today. Some have a great mountain backdrop, others dwarf their owners, some are just chunky. We even included a picture of a male plant that looks like he's just starting a modeling career!

Don’t Make These (Advanced)
Plant Training Mistakes! 👩🏫
|
by Nebula Haze
What isn’t there to love about training cannabis plants? Training is fun, it gets you more involved with your plants, it helps maximize your grow space and lights, and it burns a calorie or two in addition to dramatically increasing yields!
|
But there is a dark side to training. It shows up when newer or possibly misinformed growers attempt to train their cannabis plants, but end up stunting their growth or generally doing them more harm than good. This can come from accidents like breaking stems, but sometimes it’s a fault in the way the technique is being used.
Today, we’re going to show you how to avoid making plant training mistakes that will slow down the growth of your cannabis. Instead, you can be sure you’re using the right technique the right way at the right time!
ScrOG Mistakes
ScrOG – short for ‘Screen of Green’ – is a method of growing cannabis where a screen is placed in between the plants and the light. The plants are kept under the screen during the vegetative stage and guided through the screen by the grower during flowering to influence neat rows of colas equally spaced from each other.
Most Common Mistakes
First Time Grower
ScrOG can be a tough method, even for growers who’ve been doing it for a while. It isn’t just a question of knowledge, ScrOG takes much more time and physical work to keep the plants arranged the correct way. If you’re just looking into growing for the first time, I would leave the ScrOG technique for a few grows down the road.
Foul: Improper Use of ScrOG Net!
If you’re like me, you’ll see the ScrOG net in action and be hypnotized. From the outside, it looks like you set up a net and just let the plants do their thing. Unfortunately, doing ScrOG this way nullifies its benefits and will actually make for a tougher grow since there will be a useless net in the way.
When using the ScrOG net, one of the most important aspects is to keep your the plants in an even canopy and below the ScrOG net until the 2nd week of flowering (minimum). Topping will give more colas and make them easier to train under the net; topping is pretty much mandatory for ScrOG really shine.
We Love Cool Growing Tools!

Today, I want to show you some weird/cool tools I’ve found that can solve some of the unique problems we run into as cannabis growers. Although being able to improvise is a must-have skill, it’s just as important to know when to use the right tools. No one wants to spend lots of time and effort to fix a problem when there is a $1 solution that can do the job more effectively. So let’s get to those tools!

"Hey! I’m currently about a week from harvest on a grow that I used one of your tutorials for. I’m using coco and the general hydro series wish calimagic under a 200-400 watt adjustable MH/HPS, in my closet lol. I’m having amazing results and submitted a few of my better pics. Just wanted to give you a shout out and say what’s up and thanks for the incredible website. It’s been like my bible and this is my second and best harvest."

"What is this plant's sex?"
~Preston
That's a male. A photogenic male that might be a model. ~Sirius
"These are outdoor Headband Kookies, and some F1 Durban crosses. All the knowledge I've gained from grow weed easy is put into this grow! Thank you for all the help (past, present, and future)!"
~Robert T.
I really love that wide-open shot you took. Also, that's a lot of weed! 👍 ~Sirius
"Blue mystic auto flower from Nirvana seeds, grown in 3 gallon container of soil, fed very little nutrients, and it's over 7 feet tall! LOTS of buds! I've never had an auto flower get this big. 2 others are half this size. GWE is my Bible and main source of information for growing. YOU
ROCK!"
~Sharon
Wow! I'm 6'5" and I still wouldn't be able to see the tops of your buds...and an auto?! Holy moly... ~Sirius

Learn which seed sources are personally recommended by Nebula Haze |
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!"
