Placing this in this forum because I believe many of you may know him from both places, as well as Cannetics and other forums. Hi all. Just wanted to let everyone know that the bean auctions to help Brakeman's family (some of you know him as ScooterTrash, others as Prodigal Son if you're old...

There's an old housewife method called The Potato Trap that will help. Cut up a potato into 1-2 inch pieces, lay them on top of the soil. 24 hours later pick them up and look underneath, larvae will be there if they're in your soil. Just throw the potato away with the larvae on it. Change the...

Zombie you can buy them in 2 different ways. Just the refill box, which is what I buy. Or you can get them already in trays made just for them the first time around. You get fewer wedges to start, but in the future you can just buy the refill box and reuse the trays.

I spend about $80 a year on cloning supplies using Oasis Grow Medium Wedges and a $4 cannister of GardenSense Rooting Powder. Here's a tutorial on how they work Good luck.

And don't you forget it, lol.

I've run the Skunk OG18 5 times. She is a great smoke. Currently I have a seed run of her with males of Grape God and Dynamite. If I can find a pheno that maximizes the massive bud formation she and the Grape God have with the big head skunk buzz of the SOG18 I'll be one happy chic. She is...

I believe that some autoflowers can be cloned, it all depends on how assertive the traits are from the photoperiod parent they're crossed with. If you've been growing 12/12 strains you are going to be very disappointed in the quality of the smoke from an autoflower. I've never smoked any that I...

Soap Box Time Sorry for the hermie situation, but this is what comes of feminized seeds. Next time get regular seed and pull out your males. And do not grow any from bagseed, which also tend to come from hermied plants. Please do not grow any of the seeds you find, feed them to the birds...

I predict that within 10 years, maybe less, the premium prices will be paid for landrace seeds and people will have to start all over, with the best money being paid for seeds with no possible hermie crossing in its parentage, which basically will take the hobby back to square one. This trait...

I agree totally that air also contributes to pollination, no doubt. But in an evolutionary sense, flowers develop scent to attract pollinators. I also agree that we have bred them to be stinkier than they ever would have bred themselves to be in nature. I know that I've seen many types of...
