Sometimes there is a kernel of truth to the myth. Perhaps decades of chuckers selecting males by rubbing stems instead of comparing progeny has resulted in males with good smelling stem rubs! That's why I switched to fems, both parents are selected for having dank female flower phenotype...

You should defoliate more if you want to reduce the amount of food available to your buds.

check very carefully under all of the leaves looking for bugs like thrips

If you have grown this genotype before as a female then you're probably right. However, could be a real male from random pollen in the air. I have no idea what the relative odds are but I suspect contamination is more likely. There is no way to know without sending it in for a genetic sex...

He's big but is he really huge? For huge he's lacking in both length and girth.

Where did you publish your results?

I haven't had them infest my Cannabis but I have had them on other houseplants. They grew slowly enough that I could just wipe them off with alcohol soaked paper towels. They start in the soil and crawl up the stem before fixing themselves up on the plant, so some Tanglefoot or other sticky...

Don't get me wrong, I'm hugely jealous of legal outdoor growers and your trees, but if your climate isn't suited to growing Cannabis and you must resort to stepping on it then maybe you should consider climate control. It doesn't take a lot of space to grow enough for your head if you're not...

That's a cool story bro, but what about the evidence? Still not seeing any evidence beyond "my bro defoliates and he grows fire."

This is why I grow my own indoors.

Is it harming the big buds you're leaving on the plant? How do you know? What good evidence is there that "lollipopping" has any effect? The null hypothesis is these techniques are not helpful, that a healthy plant with all of its leaves is best. It takes evidence to reject the null...

Humboldt Seed Company. They do selections from thousands of plants sometimes and are working stuff to F4-F8 even. CSI: Humboldt has done some hunts of Urkle, Mendo Purps, and Triangle Kush S1s with hundreds of plants and reportedly are going to use those selections to make S2s. Clearwater has...

It takes a real controlled grow to compare soil to soiless. The amount of ions available in the root zone need to be controlled along with all of the other grow parameters. It's a lot harder than just growing a couple of plants side by side and sending a couple of nugs off to be tested...

That's terrible. I guess the genotyping wasn't profitable, especially after they started selling seeds. Sucks for the community since Phylos is like the only one genotyping and making the results available. There is so much more work to be done in this area, maybe some cryptocurrency...

Yes, you can send samples from the three moms and the keeper to Phylos and they can genotype them and tell you which mom is a clone of the keeper. However, it probably costs more than you want to spend on it. $250 for four samples IIRC.

Defoliation makes perfect sense if you have no clue about botany. It's 100% bro science. Ask the defoliators for some evidence that it improves your Cannabis crop in any way. Nope, all you get is "my bro defoliates and he grows fire."

Yeah it's jammed into my stealth cab but I've never had a plant throw so many balls. Found a couple on a Slurricane IX and one on a Mothers Milk but otherwise I never get anything but a sterile nanner at the end.

only cracked one Blue Power BX2 so far and it was very vigorous and easy growing in veg but I'm pretty disappointed to find balls all over as it starts flowering

@Clearwaterbuds what would you say are the terpiest / tastiest strains?

use silver thiosulfate on a cutting of your best girl to make pollen
