    Breeding With S1 ?

    I have some self pollinated created seeds. I know this limits the chromosomes, but is this a bad thing as far as crossing something else to these females? I'm just not sure of all of the breeding implications down the road.

    Wilamette Valley Outdoor Possible? Which Strains?

    Or do you recommend greenhouse? Do you have to consider the longer days and get a strain that flowers earlier?

    Breeding For Pm Resistance, Etc.

    Do you think it is the lineage from parts of the globe that are damper. For example, Thai genetics might lend a resistance to powdery mildew. Super Skunk is very PM resistant, and I think the smelly volatile oils may play a part. For that strain perhaps the Columbian lineage plays a role in PM...

    they're out there having fun in that...

    It's interesting, some bud looks rather purple when growing in the sunlight, but dried and viewed under low level CF lighting, it isn't noticeable. Under the grow light I see the purple though. I learned a couple things since last outdoor grow, thanks to these forums and experience, because you...

    curing, it's not cut and dry

    What do you think of my dry and cure method? For some plants that have more stretch I hang the whole plant to dry. For others I hang branches on a line. They mainly hang out in 70-80 degree room with airflow and rh about 65% average. I like to keep it under 75 degrees F, but sometimes it creeps...

    Trainwreck clone, 6-8 weeks old, very small leaves, starting to flower - normal?

    So I got some sort of Mendo Trainwreck and it always had dwarf looking leaves. The whole thing seems micro compared to the other strains I picked up. I had it with other clone varieties on an interrupted night cycle so I could start to match the daylight for the day I transplant. A couple weeks...

    just a little nervous about making clones (90-100% humidity?)

    So, a book said I need to maintain 90-100 humidity while rooting at low light levels, preferably in the red spectrum, say 2700-3000 kelvin. Fine, but I'm not sure how to maintain this high humidity with my setup. And for the low light, can I just put it above a T5 where it gets indirect light...

    soil science information for growers

    I've found much of the best research about growing is geared toward a vegetable garden, however, this doesn't mean this information has little use to the cannabis grower. Certain information about growing applies to all types of crops. For example, credentialed scientists who know what they are...

    Is there just "plain" OG Kush?

    I got a clone from a dispensary in Mendo county and it is just OG Kush. Is it the "original" you think, or just unknown? I didn't ask them, maybe I should call. How are different "cuts" different if they all are traced back to the same mother in theory? Or is that not the idea with all the...

    teen plant spider mite and preflowering troubles

    I got a teen and transplanted it into a 1 gallon pot. When I got it, it was pre-flowering. I don't know why it is doing that, but my friend had it on his deck where he left it out in the sun during the day, then covered with T8's at night. I noticed pre-flowers when I got it. Since then I had it...

    transplanting rooted clones into 1 gal. pots, which soil do you like?

    and other questions... What's a soil mix or soil you would use for this? The clones are already rooted in a nice potting soil. I want to root them into these new pots and grow them a little bigger. Then either out to the planter boxes or grown into a mother. How do you recommend growing a clone...

    planter box height

    For the backyard garden, I made a planter box, but it isn't very tall. Is 7 1/2 inch tall too short you think? Can gophers get through chicken wire, and do they eat cannabis? How many plants would fit in a 6 ft x 3 ft box? Thanks!

    Canna butter recipes vary widely in timing and doneness.

    One said it could be made in 60 minutes, another said 22 hours of simmering was essential. Some say simmer, some say boil, then simmer. Some say wait until a glossy sheen appears. I've heard rumors of crock pot usage, but I could only find stove top recipes. Some say it is essential to...

    Canning jar curing, how tight to pack, remove from stems?

    I got some jars since my weed has been drying for a week from the latest plant I took. I put it in jars. After 24 hours, no condensation. I put it in very loosely while the manicured buds are attached to their stems. So I had to cut it to size to fit into the quart jars. Or is it better to cut...

    I want to get peak potency, look at this trich under microscope.

    Most pistils are dried reddish brown on this plant. Can you tell me if it is read for harvest? I like a body high, but I don't want the trichs to degrade. Ok, I got one small leaf from right by a calyx. Should I look at some more spots? Should I look right on the bud? Anyway, here's the photo:

    Brown bud sites and mold outdoors, did I wait too long to harvest? Help, please..

    It was going fairly well, flowering was ok, except some purple leaves and leaves being eaten. Now I have found some buds to be brown, and yikes, some mold, I think! I have ordered a mini microscope to look at them better. Should I remove the bad parts and proceed, harvest, or what? See...

    Got a clone from someone a week ago. I am about to transplant and put outdoor. Was under floro. What's wrong here? Thanks!

    medium or soil for seedlings (tried search box)

    Howdy, I am a super new grower. I have read most of Cervantes book, but the info gets a little muddled. Anyway, I know it is late for an outdoor, but I have a long season, and I want to get some seeds started indoor. Maybe I'll get a mother I can clone, I don't know. Anyway, I want to grow...

    Thanks for a secure web site for growing!

    Hi, I am legally able to grow, but I don't trust Big Brother. I just want to grow and learn in peace and respectfully share and learn with others. Having a site secured by SSL/TLS is crucial for this. I read the rules, and I am totally happy to say they are reasonable and sensible IMHO. There...
