    making bacon, seed advice

    Consider those tent grow seeds you found to be hermie... Not necessarily the best trait to breed with. However as an outdoor grower, I can't see that it matters that much.

    Help Frost and nearly ripe seed plants

    I am expecting frost. Will this damage or halt seed maturation? (Maybe 29f at the coldest) I am racing against mold to mature seeds on healthy sections of the plants. In a way I am hoping frost speeds up maturation. Thoughts? Experience? Much appreciated

    . Washington's is confused. Its easier to grow legal pot than hemp.LOL I grew both cbd hemp and marijuana side by side this season. Not much discernible difference. Unless you are familiar with both. Trichome shape, structure to a degree, and the dead give away is scent. Hemp scents are...

    If you could only use three amendments...?

    Ewc and kelp are great.. make sure you have enough N and P ...... Tm-7 Had to google that one.. sounds like fun to try that one.! I miss "Biozome" it was archaea, they seemed to really convert organic matter into nutrients in a hurry.

    Growing autos in a greenhouse in winter

    Issue is day length, many autos do poorly without at least 14 hours light. Spring to fall equinox fine. If I were to grow autos in the winter greenhouse I would build a tent and add heat light and ventilation. Inside the greenhouse. Make it a black out tent if you do not want to light up...

    Fighting botrytis on seeded plants

    Turning whole plants into dry sift?

    I use the pollenex 150 tumbler. Process whole plants. Basically dry real well break up material and toss in freezer, then into my tumbler. You could make one yourself. IMO hand carding volume sucks. (I like to start with dry sift before ethonol extraction. )

    Tricks to speed up male maturity?

    That is the oldest and already pollenized for a few weeks. But yes, you are correct it was quite far along. :( I gave it some fish emulsion and plenty of water, hoping to extend its life. I also worry that we are approaching less than 12 hours of light and cool dark weather post equinox. The...

    Tricks to speed up male maturity?

    I came up with the idea of cutting the male branches and sticking them in the soil with the female to be pollinated. Seem to be working, give em a shake and the pollen rains down on the girls. The male is a High Alpine Hemp freebie. Rhubarb Pie X ? It's a high cbd hemp plant. The female is...

    Tricks to speed up male maturity?

    To my knowledge just generic diversity. Bred for different uses over time. Fiber, seed, or drug. I wished their was an all things CBD forum area, while plants and growth are similar, harvest time for CBD may be different than for THC. Also processing and decarb times appear to be different...

    Ascorbic Acid to Promote Growth
