Hollow core stems are a common trait in " plants bred for THC", vs. plants bred for Hemp fiber which will often have a tighter core, thus focusing inherent disposition upon production of flowers as opposed to the production of hemp fibers. Hollow core stems do not dictate whether you will have a plant of say 7% THC or one of 27% THC.

Purple Kushes gents. Relaxing stone that tends to break down that unconscious "armoring" of core muscles when in agitated PTSD mode. Also imo generally tend to be wear off a bit quicker so a guy can medicate repeatedly all day with it. (that being said there are some Purple Kushes nowadays that will Facef#$% you; but at the heritage core the general rule applies).

See what the Bman has on his tester lists when they come out with Purple Kush crosses. I saw some on his winter list I believe.

also you should try to meditate; absolute bitch getting started but well worth every ounce of effort.

I think the gardening peace phenomenon is no different than the impact to health pets provide,

I agree purple kush is powerful but just doesnt have the longevity. Also I consider it a creeper because you don't feel it right away. Not until the blunt is almost done.

Ive noticed a correlation between hollow stems and zero root retrictions ( if we re talking about the same thing). Ive noticed the hollow rounded ridge-like stems on seedlings and veg plants, that seem to fill in, round off, and get woody by the time theyre harvested. Especially the lower stems. Plants w all hollow stems seem to be extremely vigorous and healthy, ime.

I saw 1 plant one time that finished w these stems, even the lower main. The buds looked kickass. The plant was in a big raised bed. It wasnt my plant and i didnt smoke the buds, so i cant comment on potency. But it appeared to have reached its highest potential.

Ive harvested plants w top colas that still have hollow stems, but the lower main stem isnt. One in particular i remember the top cola was huge 'tall boy can" size. But like akiymjames i didnt notice a potency increase, but only because i wasnt paying attention. This plant was in a 30gal pot flowered when its was a very small clone.

This is only a personal observation and i have zero scientific evidence, just trying to help figure this out. ive always seen these hollows as a good thing. Just wish i knew exactly whats up. I bet B would have our answers...

Many plants exhibit some form of hollow stem.
But only when main is hollow all the way to the dirt is it a true hollow stem. You can just snap it off at base with an easy snap.
Usually these are very old genetics and might not be the prettiest in a bag, but have been known for flavor and potency.

This may be likely. Hollow stems may b more common in general, or maybe many of the bigname parents strains had hollow stems, like ssh, sour d, thai plants prolly have hollow stem due to the tropucal environment.

Buut ive had plants with solid hard stalks. That come out just as stron as hollows. Ill keep an eye on he connection. But idk.

Of course solid.stems would b better for fiber. But that doesnt mean it impedes thet hc or resin.

Also @kona gold may b on to sumthin, the true trait correlatedto potency may b hollow "to the trunk bottom" Interesting ideas guys. Great conversation

More cowbells(gsc forum x 88g13hp)View attachment 3634616View attachment 3634617 View attachment 3634618View attachment 3634619 golf ball rocks. Very strange looking plant, unique and a pleasure to watch grow. One 1 fem from a pack of 13. Some interesting stuff, but will not be kept. Busted pollen nuts on almost all preflower locations. These slipped by me, but i believe it happened late enough to prevent pollination. No seeds found, yet.

Yea, that's the cookie for ya.
Got to keep an eye out after 4 weeks.
Pollen doesn't seem very fertile, only good part!
I have strange love and it does same thing.
But I bred with a male, and it makes a great pollen source.

thanks futant I'll give a pruple kush a go when I find one.

Right there with ya on the mediating part. Super hard to get at first, but amazing. I do it in between sets out in the water. I Read a book called buddha's brain which kinda showed me a good path to try.

Lets get back to this Happy bud shit haha! Happy Friday all enjoy your day:bigjoint:

yeah very lime candy ish. reminds me of skittles. Once cured it has a strong grapefruit overtone with a bit of the lime staying in there for 2 months. then its all grapefruity. Dry sift is all lime all the time.
The taste is the same as the smell.
Click to expand...
That's what mine is smelling like.
I have a cut of grapefruit haze that smells pretty much identical.
Wonder now if it's just a ssh cut?

That's very interesting. I'm about to harvest the Tigermelon x Dragon's Blood... In about five days before I leave for the coast.. I'll let you know if these ladies are hollow.. 4 ladies from 6 beans from the super silver Hashplant were all seriously underfed entirely.. And completely hollow. I've been underfeeding these too...
