    Gene Selection

    3 mothers from the same seed line produced different growth patterns. One has considerably stronger white hair growth, another has rooted in the cloner a full week faster than the other two. Debate is.. What is more desirable? Stronger/ faster genetalia or considerably faster / stronger root...

    Making butter question.

    Does the trim need to be dried and cured, or can it be ground and processed directly at harvest? Does it make a difference in flavor or anything? Thanks!

    Preharvest clone gathering?

    I know it's the most inopportune time, but I'm days from cutting an incredible strain that I'd like to re-rerun. Is it even possible to pull a section out of a budding plant and put in an aeroponic cloning device? Am I better off just cutting the "Product" off the plant leaving the fan leaves...

    Makin' butter questions...

    What do you use for ratios of butter vs. trimmings? Do you grind the trimmings like you would using regular product, or do you try to keep the sugar leaves intact to sift out after simmering? Any specific pointers to give other than telling me to search the forums? Thanks!

    Kickin back into 24/0 to grow more bud?

    Theoretically speaking, if a person was in week 10 of flowering on 12/12, if they were to revert their lights to 24/0, would it result in an increase in fruit production, or are we talking about causing more problems than the gain is worth? General thought process says that more light time =...

    Lost opposing nodes?

    Had an emergency and had to scrap the indoor grow, so I put my best 2 outdoors, then took cuttings off them. While outdoors, they faced 100+ temps for 2 weeks, but were watered twice a day. Now they appear to be facing what I would call "Genetic Degradation". What was once a top notch...

    Cloner pump croaked in mid clone

    Was 4 days into rooting and my pump quit working. Hadn't shown any visible roots yet, but in emergency mode, I dipped in the hormone and planted early. I've been keeping it pretty moist the past 24 hours, we'll see what happens. Any of you ever been forced to plant early like this, or have...

    Lilly leaves on top?

    I've never grown outdoor before, only indoor. I took 2 outside to see how they'd do and they've started growing almost lilly like leaves in the canopy, not the 5 finger fan leaves we know. Is this normal? I went ahead and topped the things to remove this growth, but WTF? It is averaging...

    Trying to aeroclone a crepe myrtle

    Having some issues here. I've built a DIY aerocloner, and it has proven to work on many occasions for cloning cannibis. However, when I try to do a crepe myrtle, they wilt over in less than 24 hours. I have distilled water, zero nutes, kept at 78f. They are under 4 4' flouro tubes on 24/0...

    HAve roots, now what?

    So I successfully built a DIY aerocloner, and have had great success growing roots on cuttings. I have yet to get a live plant from one because they die within a few days of planting in soil? I'm using a mixture of 50% soil and 50% sand with no nutes. Should I be using a transplant hormone...

    Cloning a male?

    Do you end up with 100% males, or do they produce both sexes? Sorry if this is a no brainer, but I'm new to cloning.

    So I built this DIY aerocloner and...

    The damn thing worked. Now I'm at a crossroads. I've been a strictly soil grower and had intended on using this only to produce clones to take to soil. But after reading last night, I realize now that I have a more efficient way of growing right under my nose. I am running distilled tap...

    Nitrogen deficiency???

    Is this a nitrogen deficiency? I'm 7 weeks into flowering, and have been using mostly 15-30-15, but have hit it twice with 12-55-6 super bloom. The newer growth is dark green, but the bigger older fan leaves are turning yellow. I understand the plant designates most of it's power to bud...

    Tolerance is too high now

    I've been a daily smoker for almost a year now, and have actually gotten to where I almost feel nothing when I smoke now. My question to you is, how long of a break have you found you need to take to fix this problem? I see ways of detoxing, mostly to fake drug tests, ie.. exercising...

    2 quick questions about spider mites

    So, I've won round 1 with a whacking of NEEM mixed per directions on the bottle. They all appear to be dead, but I'm hitting it again tomorrow, and 2 days after that to be sure. Question 1, Should I wash their desd bodies off my plant, or not worry about it and let them fall off naturally...

    White dots and red bugs

    I assume Spider Mites? I have 3 girls gowing in one box, only one appears to have them this bad, one is only appearing on a few leaves, the other does not appear to have been affected yet. However, the one in the pictures is COVERED. The underside of each leaf has 5-10 of these fuckers...

    Toping during flower?

    It's been in flower for 3 weeks and is just now starting to bud. It is almost 2' tall and has taken off literally... like a weed. My grow box is only 3'. I never topped it during veg, I know that was irresponsible. But is it okay to top in the 3rd week of flower? Also, did the forum...

    To prune or not to prune

    So I started a couple of females out a handful of months ago with the intentions of using them as mothers and growing a ton of clones. Turns out I suck at cloning and am going to take these mothers to term. As I said, I started them about 3 months ago and have been trimming them down, so they...

    Red Stem / Green Stem

    One plant has green leaf stems, one has bright red. Anyone know what determines this? Is this some sort of nute deficiency? Is it like animal fur and plays no part? Thanks, Sandman
