rumors we heard before we started growing

before we all started growing we have looked for the information we could get. along with that info there were many rumors so i think we should try and put them to rest. one rumor that has always surfaced for me was you could tell a female seed because it would be bigger and darker. well since i have been growing i have tried to keep track of it and well a bigger seed is just a more mature seed and it has been a pretty close split to 60/40 that it will be female. but maybe they are just my seeds.

Always hang your plants upside down after harvesting, roots and all. It lets all the THC/resin run down into the buds. :lol:


Ever hear that one?

Here's one I still see alot....


...don't give your plants too much water at once, or you'll overwater them. Total bullshit, unless your medium is fucked. :razz:

and i have heard that if you you can tell if its going to be a female if you look at the seed when it first germinates. a straight tail is male and c will be female. if you use the paper towel methoid. arent they all little c's making the tap root. never seen a straight one..but have grown many a male

At least eight hours of light a day must be provided. As you increase the light, the plants grow faster and show more females/less males. Sixteen hours of light per day seems to be the best combination, beyond this makes little or no appreciable difference in the plant quality. Another idea is to interrupt the night cycle with about one hour of light. This gives you more females.................................................................................................................................................................. this a quote right from the web site. do people just make this shit up

You know, I agree with this, AT ONCE is the key word, if your soil drains like it should the extra water would run out.

I'm not sure if this is still myth or fact, but molasses increases bud weight by 30%. Now Molasses has worked wonders for my first 2 grows, but i don't think it was 30%....

I just started using mollasses on my outdoor as well as my indoor. I have noticed a "beefing" effect on my indoor... maybe I need more for the outdoor, they seem to have not even noticed the glucose.
