Growing Cannabis
Why Vigorous Genetics are the Ultimate Pest Defense
In that secretive world, you quickly learn a few brutal truth: pests and pathogens aren't your primary problem. They are merely the cleanup crew sent to finish off the weak. If your plants are being "taken out" by spider mites or powdery mildew, you need to look deeper than the bug itself. Usually, you’re looking at a failure of vigor... a genetic deficit that makes your crop weak and susceptible. Or a poorly grown crop that is having issues.
The Thrill of the Hunt: Growing a Mystery Pack
Some growers want a label on everything. They want a certificate and a timeline before they even pop a bean. But for the rest of us? The ones who grew up when you just called it "kind bud" and hoped for the best? There’s a specific kind of magic in the unknown. That’s exactly why I put together jerrys special mystery cannabis seed pack. It’s for the hunter. The guy who trusts his eyes and his nose more than a fancy sticker.
Why Real Breeders Still Demand Regular Weed Seeds
Are feminized cannabis seeds better the regular seeds? The short answer is no, they are not better...I love regular cannabis seeds!

DIY Nitrogen Boost: Using Urine to Fertilize Cannabis Plants
Jerry the Ghost here. If you’re deep in the woods and your plants are looking a little pale or yellow during the vegetative stage, you don’t need to hike back to the truck for a bottle of expensive liquid nutrients. You’ve actually got the perfect high-nitrogen fertilizer on you at all times....;o)
Bio-char for Guerrilla Growing: Making Your Own On-Site
erry here. If you want to build a soil that holds onto nutrients and water like a sponge for years—without hauling in bags of expensive amendments—you need to learn the art of biochar. It’s essentially "super-charcoal" that acts as a permanent home for the beneficial microbes we find in that forest leaf mold.
The ‘Snap Test’ for Perfect Cannabis Curing
You’ve finally harvested those fully flowered giants and they’re hanging in the drying room, or under a tree. Now comes the most critical question....how to cure your cannabis and "Is it ready for the jar?"
Yellow Leaves in Flower: Flush or Feed?
Seeing yellow leaves as the plants begin flower can send a grower into a panic. Your first instinct is usually to dump a gallon of high-nitrogen "grow" nutrients on them or, conversely, to flush them with ten gallons of water because you think you’ve overdone it. Before you do either, you need to understand if you even have a problem.
How to Stop ‘Bud Rot’ Before It Starts
Jerry here. There is no worse feeling for a grower than getting within a week or two of harvest, looking at a massive, sticky cola, and noticing a single, tiny grey leaf poking out of the side. You pull on it, and the whole center of the bud comes out as a mushy, grey, moldy mess. I have had to simply discard huge fully flowered 15 ft tall giants!
How Many Seeds Should I Start for a 10-Plant Harvest?
Jerry here. One of the most common questions I get from folks buying my seed packs is the "math of the harvest." If you have a legal limit of 10 plants, or you’ve cleared a "Ghost" spot specifically for a 10-pack of those 15-foot giants, you might think you only need to sprout 10 seeds.
The Best Strain for High Humidity (Mold Resistance)
Jerry here. If you’re growing in a "swamp" spot or an area where the morning fog rolls in and sits until noon, you are in a constant race against high humidity. High humidity is the perfect breeding ground for bud rot and powdery mildew. In my fifty years of experience, I’ve seen entire harvests turn to grey mush because of bud rot, and have had powdery mildew cover just about whole plants.

Why Does My Cannabis Have Yellow Spots?
It starts with one or two tiny yellow spots on the bottom leaves, and before you know it, it’s climbing up your 15-foot giant. Most growers see yellow and immediately start dumping nitrogen on the plant, thinking she’s hungry. But if those spots have a dark border and look like a bullseye, you aren't dealing with a hunger strike—you’re dealing with Leaf Septoria.
