    Reversing the light cycle.

    As I said, bananas are like a kind of grass, they are an annual. Each "tree" only ever has one bunch which can get to be 60 or 70 kilos (130 - 150 lbs) You can actually see the binch growing up through the stem, it's quite an amazing thing to see. They propagate in much the same way as grasses...

    Reversing the light cycle.

    I would never have thunk! Bananas don't really grow on trees, it's a kind of grass actually. pretty sure that people do have them there, maybe as ornaments in their gardens.

    Reversing the light cycle.

    Fresh sisal not necessary, any kind of twine/string will actually do. Also, not banana leaves, it's the bark of the "tree" that you use. The picture called "Malawi," is a picture, near as I can tell of the genuine article, you can see the texture of the wrapper is different to the one in the...

    Reversing the light cycle.

    Here is my method for curing. Make one, and try it. Very simple, you'll need; About 50 cm of thin sisal string, the original string used in Malawi, comes from a savanna thorn bush. When it's wet, it's quite pliable but it shrinks as it drys and helps to compress the bud. I suppose you could...

    Reversing the light cycle.

    I hear you, and didn't take any offense. I always ask questions, it is the way I learn things. Back when I was at college, people used to snigger and moan at how many (stupid) questions I asked. I got better marks than everyone else. Stay safe in these troubled times. It's nice to have a...

    Reversing the light cycle.

    I would hazard a guess, that it's an illusion, caused by a whole influx of new growers like myself that know nothing.

    Reversing the light cycle.

    Thanks, I haven't tried plain water or plain soil, maybe I'll give them a try. I'm in soil at the moment, looking into other mediums.

    Reversing the light cycle.

    That may be why my clones haven't taken...thanks.

    Reversing the light cycle.

    I reckon I missed that bus, I flipped the lights nearly a month ago. can one clone a flowering plant, bearing in mind that it's not in "grow" mode?

    Thanks for the clarification..

    Reversing the light cycle.

    Thanks, if it's vegging again, will it not flower after a while? It will be the exact same plant! Why would you then want to clone it?

    Reversing the light cycle.

    Thanks Jimster, I asked BigCube another question, above. Any idea......or is that what you mean by re-vegging?

    Reversing the light cycle.

    I have another question, I believe that exposing flowering plants to light outside of the flowering cycle could cause the plant to either become a male or become hermaphrodite. With how much certainty will this work, I could put one of the branches outside of the tent. Maybe I can make my own...

    Reversing the light cycle.

    Hi there, I'm very new to growing and nearing the end of my first grow. I had an arrangement with someone to provide me with fresh clones for my next grow, but that got smashed due to lockdown. I tried making my own clones but have failed, I have tried with Honey, with willow leaves with...

    Hi there, I've just joined.

    As a youngster, I had plants growing under my bedroom window, I've never grown on purpose - until now. Aside from growing, I'm also interested in the curing process used in Malawi. I have long been a fan and always preferred cobs if they were available. This is my first grow, I only have one...
