was it stickier or chewier, hoho? any special flavors?

blueberry and bubblegum..
and they were fresh and about 30 percent amber. almost like eating raw brocoli but a little more bitter..
it might have given me a slight buzz but nothing worth the bubble guts..

mmmm... mud butt...

and FYI and especially to SpruceZeus

this was the beginning of the "apple testing":

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Hello 'Blue',

You wrote to me many, many months ago with a juice machine question, and
crazy as it sounds, the message must have gone to my junk box.
While cleaning out my mail box the other day, I came across your e-mail
knowing that I had never sent a response.

I forwarded your problem on to one of our writers, Evan Folds, and the
message below is what he had to say.
I realize this advice is likely coming to you way too late - but I thought I
would forward it anyway in the event that you are still curious.

I sincerely apologize for not finding this message sooner and wish you good
luck in all of your growing ventures.

Answer: Very interesting indeed. This idea is played out in banana and other
fruit extracts found on the market that claim to enhance flavor and yield,
but I would like to take the question on a different level. It's hard to say
how the yield would be affected, but it is very possible that it would be
enhanced. Here we come to the importance of the fertility elements involved
in the process of life not connected to increases in yield or bulk. Was the
crop grown in soil or hydro? It would be good to know that the 25% apple
pulp was used in soil where microbiology can play a direct role in the
equation. I'm sure the pulp is a great food source for beneficial organisms
and they are alchemists. How was the apple grown? Was it from the
supermarket or from a local orchard? Did the grower utilize biodynamic or
sea-mineral-based agriculture? The mere presence of elements in the apple
tissue not deemed "essential" by the powers that be can have significant
influences over plant growth. These things may seem trivial, but many times
the more subtle things are more profound than what we conventionally pay
attention to. Great idea!

Kindest Regards,

We've exchanged several emails and I've managed to produce some results. While the flavors are "hints" of apple, he's brought up some good points that will require several grows to test.

Not really sure why I felt the urge to reply to this thread, other than to say this is not simply a myth and even people more involved believe this is quiet possible.

I know this thread is really old but i didn't see if you got an answer. Yes, you can have gendered trees, such as mulberry trees. Female mulberry trees have lobed leaves while the male has un lobed leaves. But to my knowledge, Marijuana is indeed the only dioecious annual. Cheers!

Myth: Hermis are no good they seed all hermis

Fact: I have males and females and hermis from a hermi.
I have selective breeding programs that started with a hermi and 'progressed back' into the "Seed bank" (lol) version in 3 generations..

Make hash or browines out of all plants and plant parts waste nothing.

excatly -- i think there r better things to test. anybody read the post of the guy that chopped his plant down to a stick (no leaves), and it lived? said the vegged cola's liked crazy. https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/106645-skinning-entire-plant-worked-awesome-7.html i know its just like planting another seed and letting it regrow but my point is thats how strong this plant is. it is called weed for a reason. middle easterners dont like it because the goats wont always eat it -- and a goat is a lawnmower!

anybody ever tried to graft marijuana to another plant? or vice versa?

Ever grown Hops? we grow 4 diffrent typs, your first time youll freak out when it shows sex.

There are studys grafting hop to weed and weed to hops to get thc in beer.

Good thread,i find myths here on a daily basis,they get repeated like bobble head dolls,the ole "what he said" factor which leads to noobs giving terrible advice.

1 Miracle grow.

All the rave is to repeat what "they've heard" about it killing grows,its been proven time & time again on this forum that the stuff works,noobs destroy their grow then blame the fert instead of being over anxious & using it in an improper way.

2 Fox Farms high priced soil.

Ive proven in a side by side comparison in my personal grows that the super expensive soil offers zero benifit over home depot brand potting soil that has been amemded properly, at 1/10 th the cost per pound.

3 Bud dryers.

My 4th grow using a bud dryer finished drying a few weeks ago with excellent results,after the 1st bud dryer grow i finished to be sure i wasnt taking away quality or taste with the bud dryer, i gave out samples of bud dried in the bud dryer & hang dried & cured bud as well,not one single person could pick out any harsh taste,headache or any other negative drawback,infact most people thought both types tasted the same as the other,both types looked excellent as well.

4 Exoctic fertilizers.

My personal favorite fertilizer for my soil grows is Peters/Jacks brand granular ferts,they were the ferts reccomended in the grow faq at Overgrow before it went down,a very high quality fert but cheap like Miracle Grow.

Ive tried them side by side with several different ultra high priced exoctic ferts like Fox Farms,the jacks fertilizer plants were in better overall health through the entire grow,i attribute this to me using peters & jacks for years & being a noob to exoctic ferts,the point is that excellent results can be had with no need to buy these super expensive products.

5 Seed bank seeds.

When i 1st got back into growing i did the normal deal & used bag seed from a bag of good weed without a fancy cool sounding name & it was mind blowing smoke when it finished up,my 2nd grow i ran 4 differnt seed bank strains,all of them turned out kick ass but none were better or worse than the bag seed grow before & i had plenty left from the 1st grow to compare against.

The point is that seed bank seeds do not need to be purchased over quality growing equipment,i see noobs all the time reccomending that other noobs must buy seed bank seeds out of their very small grow room budget, & reccomend buying better lighting/fans ect later on,this is not true,as long as the weed the seed came from was good the wee grown will in most cases be better.

Many more myths that get repeated daily as well,hopefully others will post.

Excellent post!

Most hops are grown from rhizomes (root cuttings) which are always female...are you growing hops from seed????
