I’m here to help if I can

WickedMike · Oct 4, 2023

Hello everyone,

I just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I’m a professional horticulturist with several decades’ experience. I specialize in rare plants from all over the world, particularly edible and medicinal species. I’ve also done some pretty gnarly breeding work developing and stabilizing my own pepper hybrids. I definitely don’t have all the answers when it comes to the plant thing, but I have some of them. If I can be of help to anyone, please don’t hesitate to ask.

welcome and ill pop the first question here :P
so i have 9 plants in a tent and 6 in a cupboard
the tent has 12-12 hour for flowering
the cupboard has 24-0 hour lighting for veg (dont have a 3rd timer it blew awhile back)

one of my plants in the cupboard was stressed i guess and made a few pollen sacks without me turning them yet.

my question is since there was shit all airflow in the cupboard could my contents inside my tent still be okay ? there was only 5-6 sacks barely opened.

In the tent, few hairs are going brown but like all of them together and slowly my plants are almost in 7week of flower and are expected to finish in 9th, week. if you need pics more than happy to take a few :)

Welcome to the farm!
I would lean towards lack of airflow and you are probably good pollen.wise but other people on here have better knowledge of pollenation than me. Good luck

went with no fan at all in the cupboard haha but the tent has really good flow this is all in my room also i really lack the space but am trying to get the most out of it. all i know is pollen can travel like 10k with a breeze but in this story there is no breeze so im lost also

yeah haha chopped at first sight, all the plants have turned fem so far due to seeds from a stressed hermie. id say my 24hr light was too much its only 100w vivosun though they look really healthy "at the top"

the plant was the far right corner, so kind of tucked away, the air/light would had caused the stress but the plants gone so got 5 in there now.
some pics so you can see what im working with

Bogus_Monkey · Oct 4, 2023

Nice, what kind of light you got in the flower tent?

Kamisama · Oct 4, 2023

Have one question then too.

How would u supply gibberellin to cannabis in early flower to prevent additional stretching and instead focusing right away on buds?

i use 1x 600w HPS and 1x 400w HPS that i can raise to 600w also.
tents 4x4

hey man i use MH and HPS lights, if you were to use a HPS for flowering but add a MH bulb in there also youll prevent alot of the stretch but i got no idea what setup you have.

Thanks for the welcome!

I’m into Passifloras, for one thing. Passiflora edulis would be the passionfruit you eat, but there are over 500 other species, some of which also make edible fruit. Some folks also use the leaves as a sedative/sleep aid.

Pics are always helpful, but I think Cannafarmer is probably correct.

That one is mostly outside the scope of my knowledge. I know that you can apply Ascophyllum nodosum, but that it needs to be cold-processed to be effective. As far as using gibberellin for that particular purpose, I’m intrigued. Going to have to read about it.

Isnt that seaweed or kelp? I use that frequently.
Seems like its organic PGR and read it might consist of arsenic.

That’s what I’d always understood it to be used for. Can’t say that I ever noticed an enormous difference, but it wasn’t expensive and it didn’t harm anything. I hadn’t heard about the arsenic thing, but it wouldn’t surprise me. Isn’t arsenic supposed to be super persistent in living tissues?

If you haven’t tried it yet, there’s a product called Azomite that I amend with. Good stuff IMHO and also not super expensive.

Common rice we eat has trace amounts of arsenic tho
Apples seeds have cyanide, 200seeds is enough to make a concentrated poison that kill easily a adult lol
Nature is complex heheheh

You make an intriguing point. Atropa belladonna is quite toxic if ingested, yet the atropine that can be refined from it could potentially save your life one day. The solanine found in raw potatoes can be fatal if ingested in the right quantities, yet it’s a staple crop for countless people. The capsaicinoids in hot peppers may light your mouth on fire, but they’ve also been shown to have several health benefits. And those are just examples from the nightshade family. As you put it man, nature is complex.
