Greetings JACKMAYOFFER I rarely answer these types of questions for the very reason: even when clearly outlined and detailed the question still persists. I am not interested in schooling anyone...I was under the impression that I was answering your question. If you found my post...

Greetings First allow me to offer some assurance to you JACKMAYOFFER: There will be no back and forth involving myself in your thread. I am posting this reply only to clarify a few salient details and since your threads generate a fair deal of interest, for the sake of veracity I thought it...

Greetings JACKMAYOFFER Canna Aqua is fine...given adequate ventilation, air circulation and light intensity (I believe you've got these aspects covered) any reputable line of base nutrients will suffice. Contrary to manufacturer's claims: Canna Boost is not optimally suitable for active...

Greetings What's important is the ratio of P to K ... 4:8 or 9:18... both ratios amount to 1:2... Sincerely, Charles.

Greetings matamus Well responded. I for one greatly appreciated your measured response and your reception of criticism was exemplary; kudos and thanks. A suggestion: Since soil is your medium of choice, why not use a manual/chemical pH indicator (pH test kit for aquariums)? The readings...

Greetings matamus Ah...There, you see? I'm certain you're very welcome. Sincerely, Charles. p.s. A special thank you to my fellow farmers for your recognition and/or stellar contribution to this thread...together, let us continue to raise the bar higher! One community, one...

Greetings matamus First, if you will permit, some advice on etiquette: On a forum you are not owed a response. The lack of respondents is due completely to the content and nature of your post. It appears as if you've made your mind up regarding pH and if that's the case, why should...

Greetings jack the reaper There is no net benefit to protein skimming in a standard hydroponic application. In fact it's detrimental because protein skimming also removes trace elements. Why? I assume it's for oxygenating purposes... Here's the skinny: you're not injecting oxygen...

Greetings Captain ChroniK Interesting... A large seeded continental "Sativa" type? In your opinion, was the blue colouration of the leaves due to ample Nitrogen, Magnesium and Iron? Which country? What was the farmer using as fertilizer? What month of year was it? The wet or the...

Greetings hiflygrower You could...but germination tends to be more uniform and stable after a set period (drying out) of at least fourteen (14) days. Sincerely, Charles.

Greetings deeweeb Great question; I will try to provide a simple response. The answer lays in the difference between genotype and phenotype. Sexual determination is genotypic. That means it is written in the genetic code of the organism. Whether it is 'male' or 'female' is...

Greetings pimpin still equates to 'was touched by man'. Also, natural selective pressures selects against high levels of THC. In other words, all drug cultivars of Cannabis are man selected. The "fire" is only 'fire' in related reference to man; there is no other reason for a Cannabis...

Greetings wyattthewiteboi It seems as if you're asking: Are there indigenous populations of Cannabis left to be discovered? If this is so, the short answer is no: Because of its usefulness, since its discovery Cannabis has had the fingerprints of Man all over it. If you're asking...

Greetings anon918 Polyploid or polypoid, both are possible, moderately difficult and of no practical use to Cannabis cultivators. What is your hypothesis? Also, there is a bit of confusion. Polyploidy refers to extra chromosomes in the organism's genotype (genetic profile). Diploid...

Greetings andytoker Though polyploidy is considered common in plants, it rarely results in intersexedness. I'll only address the simplified runs. 'female' = XX 'female' selfed = XX x XX ---> 100% XX progeny (S1) S1 x 'male' = XX x XY ---> 50% XX; 50% XY Sincerely, Charles.

Greetings l33t I appreciate your candor and the honest, straightforward outline of your position. Like I've posted: To use or not use 'feminized' seed stock for breeding really comes down to preference. A point often overlooked: What's to say the "hermie" trait did not originate from the...

Greetings andytoker Sincerely, Charles.

Greetings andytoker Popularity is relative; it is also community specific. I am aware of a tremendous number of cultivators who deal exclusively with 'femmed' seeds. In fact, the majority (slim, but nonetheless) of cultivators employ 'feminized' seed stock. There is nothing inherently...

Greetings Pleasant discussion so far; for the sake of clarity, my post may distort said pleasantness.... Genetics may not change, but expression certainly does. This relates to the concept of true phenotypic variation i.e. the intersection/influence of environment and/on genotype. In...

Greetings addicted Welcome to the farm. A question for consideration: Why is this your goal?... A point for consideration: Maximum and accumulative values of Parts Per Million are not indicative of greatest yield or highest potency or bestest taste. Now to be clear: I am not...
