I pick my males from vases. They start dropping pollen when there's still too much phos in the root zone. Plus I need to see what they smell like when they run out of Nitrogen and start breaking down cysteine/methionine.
But flushing is bro science and I'm wasting my time.
It comes from water-only organic grows. When the pot is too big, Nitrogen gets washed below the roots and only a few chase it down. In other words, water based solely by plant size, don't try to force the roots to chase nutes washed to the bottom, it doesn't work.
Calcium deficiency shows in new growth. Don't know why pot growers wait until brown spots show up. Multiple issues by then,they start looking the same. Much easier ways to get through life.
Cannabis used to smell like carboxylic acids and sulfides before California started all their Barbie weed propaganda for the vape pen/pharma sales. I never smelled weed that didn't smell like an Indian gods body parts until I walked into a dispensary.
Bone meal is available extremely quick, and lasts forever. I have seen countless organic grows ruined by top dressing bone meal. The phosphorus stays in the root zone indefinitely while N K etc are washing vertically. There's a reason bones dont break down fast in nature. Also a reason manure...
Prove it. Cannabis roots attract sucrose and begin producing invertase faster than any fictional theoretical microbial colony. Plus molasses contains glucose and fructose readily available to plants. All that feeding microbes sugar would do is have them begging for nitrogen. That's where most...
Gypsum is not getting into the plant for a month after application. That's why it works better than calnit. Because it never gets in. Cannabis's preferred calcium source is guano. Stop pushing calcium when you stop P. Makes sense.
Gypsum is not plant available. Foliar spray a plant for a cycle...
Skunk = Indica. Indica = India. Therefore, Skunk is from India. They used to feed clarified butter sulfur fermented meat and heavy metals to get the smell. Now, we know not to use cadmium and rotten meat to grow weed. "Use it or lose it", and that's all the skunk thiol was: antioxidant against...
Led doesn't provide increased nutrient uptake signaling with increased nutrient demand. Led Cannabis sucks up calcium super easy. You could run something like Coots mix for starts but your gonna triple the inputs over time fighting all the calcium . All the coots guys are doing it with...
Blue cheese smell? All this time the famous UK Cheese strain smells like blue cheese? We call this "under the motel sink" weed where I'm from. The methyl ketones responsible for the smell.. I've been assume Cheese meant cheese thiols since Cheese is supposedly related to Skunk. The formation...
