    How much stronger is hash than marijuana?

    Flower is the most full-spectrum as far as the compounds that may/may not have effects that come about only when in the presence of other compounds. Hash is an extraction which contains some of those compounds, but not all. Hash is made up of trichomes that are separated from the flower...

    Which lights have the best hanging system?

    I have been using a Nextlight for the last few years and the plants love it. However, the model I happened to buy has the worst-positioned eyelets to attach the hanging ropes. If it's not tilting off to one side or the other, it's twisting! :( It takes quite a bit of adjusting to get the light...

    mexican brick weed

    Yep, what we got from Oaxaca was very light, bright green and the seeds were VERY thin-shelled and almost black with no stripes or marks on them at all. They broke open easily with just a bit of a squeeze. They were shiny, oily-looking. But, honestly, in those days, randomness was always the...

    mexican brick weed

    Mexican brickweed of the old days was the entire plants folded up and squashed all together in a bunch of garbage bags and duct tape. When you broke open the bales days/weeks after it was baled up, it often smelled like ammonia and mildew. We got stems, STALKS, roots, rocks, dirt, bugs...

    Are there ANY pure Sativas on the market?

    Interesting ....It makes sense that the landrace stuff would not be heavy feeders. Most of them originated in hot, dry, red dirt in Mexico. I imagine that after decades of acclimating to poor soil conditions, they wouldn't respond well to a luxurious super-soil -at least for a few generations of...

    Do most plants carry the intersex gene?

    That was going to be my next question! :)

    Do most plants carry the intersex gene?

    I probably wasn't as clear as I should have been... Are there any "true" females? Or, are ALL females, carriers of the potential to throw pollen? Some might be less prone to do it...Or, when they do, it's only a few 'nanners in late flower....But, again, are there any truly all-female marijuana...

    Do most plants carry the intersex gene?

    I was thinking about the Chemdog story...Guy selling some exceptionally good weed at a Grateful Dead concert....Someone saved a few seeds that came in the bag and grew them out....the rest is history....something like that. Anyway...It got me thinking about where those seeds came from. Were...

    How far can "ripeness" be pushed?

    Wow! If THAT doesn't convince growers to go longer, then I don't know what would! That's a gorgeous plant. When I see stuff like that, it just "says" that it's ready! This is what the home grower can achieve, in a practical way, that the commercial grower can't. The home grower can experiment...

    How far can "ripeness" be pushed?

    Man! Some of these buds look like the real old school! Maybe THAT'S one of the "missing links" in the quest for getting back to some of those old school strains that were around BEFORE growers started breeding out all of those old flavors. I can just imagine what it would be like to find that...

    Are there ANY pure Sativas on the market?

    Not where I live. The days and season are not long enough to get a Sativa close to finishing, here. Funny...In the 70's when I was starting out growing, all we had were Mexican Sativas. We just didn't know how to grow them very well. There weren't really any resources to go to to look up how...

    Are there ANY pure Sativas on the market?

    Seems like everything is a hybrid. I can't remember the last time I saw a pure Sativa on the commercial recreational market. Can you? :) From the business side of things, I can understand that it's just not feasible to grow plants that might take 20 weeks to ripen. And I'm not sure the buying...

    Laying clone pots on their side

    I have a very low headroom space for rooting my clones. I usually use the red, plastic cups filled with mostly perlite with a little soil mixed in to keep the perlite from floating every time I water. But the clones are growing quickly and I'm running out of headroom. I was thinking about just...

    Study finds HPS spectrum results in higher photosynthesis rate (per light quanta) than LED spectra

    When you have a full spectrum white light source and your plants are green, then isn't there more reflected green photons bouncing around the tent than when the plants start to fade and change their colors? And depending on what colors your plants take on over time, doesn't the spectrum change...

    Study finds HPS spectrum results in higher photosynthesis rate (per light quanta) than LED spectra

    I have been growing off and on since HID lights were THE shiz! And the combination of MH and HPS just always worked. That being said, the LEDs of today are MUCH safer and easier to deal with. However, I recently ordered an HPS conversion bulb for my old HydroPot MH magnetic ballast light. I...

    ApacheTech's new lights

    Greengenes was pretty tight with the Apache Tech dudes, if I remember correctly. Maybe they are somehow working together on that model?

    GML Accusations..

    Oh yeah. I remember that name now. Yeah, I bought one of his lights, too! It STILL works great! Great light....TERRIBLE customer service!

    GML Accusations..

    I don't know why it wasn't always both. After awhile, I think people started to understand what was a good light or not based on the key components. It wasn't so much that one company had real, distinct, proprietary differences from one to the next....Cree, Samsung, Meanwell...etc. The way that...
