Waaaow! Noice work. You obviously have it knocked. Well done. :) Best wishes for continued success. :) No worries, thanks for the compliments. :) Challenging. OK. Bear in mind light is emitted mainly from the sides of the lamps. If you're lighting a rectangular area, the...

Good luck. I do like PPP. Grew it some years back- it can be a very heavy yielder.

There's a few strains I'd like to try (Blockhead looks fun), but it's a bit immaterial as it's a lot harder to get beans through the post than it once was. I'm extremely conservative as regards security. I've been growing dope for more than 25 years without any legal problems whatsoever and...

GYO is the way to go. :) At the end of the day, no matter what the strain, delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol is delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol. What does vary between strains is the ratios of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol to the non- or less psychoactive cannabidiol & cannabidinol. Indicas tend to...

There's endless multitudes of myths about cannabis & growing the stuff. The hops thing is one of the oldest- and silliest. I get annoyed with those who thoughtlessly regurgitate unsubstantiable myths because somewhere down the line, it's going to cause problems for earnest growers. Sweet...

Cannabis & hops will not crossbreed. Too much genetic difference between the plants. It's like saying you could crossbreed basil with tarragon simply because they're both herbaceous- and you can't. I'm not going to invest several hours researching & posting a full dissection of the botany...

No, it's not possible. Sorry, you've been lied to. Grafted plant material will produce precisely what it does with its own root system. Yep- you've identified the main result, which is time wasting.

You can, but there's no point in doing so. There's a myth that hops grafted to cannabis will cause the hop leaves to produce THC. Doesn't work like that.

You probably won't be successful grafting flowers. Usually only works grafting stems to stems. If you want to crossbreed, wait until the male flowers have some pollen showing & manually pollinate the female flowers with a small artist's paintbrush. Bear in mind that by the time you see pollen on...

You certainly could graft cannabis, though I've not. I've done hardwood grafting on fruit trees (there's pears growing on my apple tree)- and I can't imagine the process would be much different. Look up grafting on the better gardening websites. I could see a single mum plant hosting a number...

Thanks. I really REALLY don't have much time to put into responding to queries on cannabis boards. I used to post on multiple threads on several boards; now I post in one thread on one board- and you're looking at it. I try not to allow more than a week between visits, but sometimes there's...

You put up a pic of a sick plant & ask for help, I answer in good faith, then you say, 'haha, I was just joking.' Again: don't waste my time.

No, I didn't know nor think you were joking. Please don't waste my time with stuff like that. I have only a limited amount of time to reply to posts & I don't need to be punked.

Sorry. If they look like that, they're cooked. You're on a hiding to nowhere trying to recover a plant that's in that bad of condition. Even if by some miracle you could get that stem to set new roots, you'd have to also cut it back severely, re-veg it under 18-24h light (min 8-10wks), get...

It took me about 90 minutes to compose that last post. When I tried to post, I got a 'restriction' screen that forced me to enter a Captcha code. In so doing, I LOST MY ENTIRE POST TEXT. If it had not been for a plugin I have installed on my browser ('Lazarus'), I would have had to have...

Ah, OK. Here's a table from Cannaversity that may be of help. As long as Flora Nova not organic, give it a try. You can let it wander upward 0.2, but...

Hay there. As I've said before, every 2 weeks, I'm busier than a 1-legged asskicker, and it's that time again. I won't be checking in for at least 5, perhaps 6 days while I get this work done. While I'm away, JUST SAY NO to myths, rumours and non-scientific thinking. *kisses* :) -Al.B

Thanks. Sounds OK. Equal amounts of a 2-part nutrient is a much easier way to go. Ouch. Yep. I'm sure your next batch of clones will do better. Admittedly, getting the watering right when cloning in RW cubes is difficult & is an acquired skill. Review my thread on cloning in rockwool if...

Pix du jour. Tray 1. Note vigorous growth indicated by light green colour of growing tips & new leaves. Tray 2. This batch is screaming! Will be a heavy yielder. Tray 3 in the background. Not as happy with this batch- had some rosetting (failure of stems to elongate). Will yield some...

Sounds like overwatering. What medium, watering system type & watering schedule are you using? Thanks. All sounds as it should be. Good luck. :) What medium did you use for cloning? RW cubes? If so, are the bottoms of the cubes above the flood level? What persuaded you to...
