Forgot to say, I was using grandma's unsulphered

Blackstrap is hard to find
i've got the Brer Rabbit Blackstrap Mol. After one day of watering, the next my buds looked more plump, and they were expanding to more nodes to connect and make it a single bud site. I think i'll water with Mol. evry other feeding.
My mid-grade bud is going to taste and smell and smoke like exotic!!

not to chime in so late but i believe the grow process and how old it is and how it has been handled effects the quality a lot more noticbly than genetics. (not to say genetics don't play a roll)

Well this question is Metaphorically stated.
I want to know..If I grow from mid-grade seed, Will the finished product be just like the parents, or will i have some Low grade exotic type weed? I need answers people ANSWERS lol.


My guess is that it would be better, esp if it is with out seeds. But I am not sure, this is why i put it out there.

So it should be somewhere in betweem if you grow it right....right??
In general, basic genetics states the 25-50-25 rule... that half will be a nice balance of the two, while 1/4 will be better, and 1/4 will be worse....

Now conditions of the grow tend to have a greater effect than the genetics in terms of potency, as well as drying/curing method... most brick shit weed is usually not grown with the utmost care like most of us grow... so simply providing a better environment more conducive to growing good marijuana would be the biggest differentiating factor....

I just purchased some unsulphured blackstrap mollasses!! I wonder if it will still have a significant effect on a 7week flowering plant?
A good organic fertilizer with macronutrients/trace elements accomplishes the exact same thing blackstrap does. Blackstrap molasses is great because of its nutrient content... not the sugar content. I use a good loaded organic fertilizer, that does everything that using a high P-K along with trace elements/macro nutes from blackstrap... all with no problems and growth just as good... I add a teaspoon of sugar to every quart, mostly for antimicrobial properties.

in a land long lost I used to hang out in another forum, in that forum there was a guy that dated the girl in your avatar (at least he posted a pic of her and claimed he was dating her) though it was a different pic, there is no mistaking it was her

just curious if you might be him? (or her for that matter) do you like Jazz[/QUO

I think you're mistaking me for someone else dudey, I am a girl. Girl. Girl lol, you silly men don't thin a biotch can grow some plants :confused:
Yes I like jazz. But not more than r&b. Back to the thread

LoL... my kinda lady ;) lmao....
 
General rules of thumb in my most humble opinion. If your bagseed has seeds, the grower either did not care or have enough knowledge to grow the plant to it's fullest potential. If it won't stay lit, it wasn't cured or dried properly. If it tastes "odd" it wasn't flushed before harvest. The basics of why we are here learning is that Light, airflow, nutrients, water and CO2, as well as timing make for a particular strain the possibility of reaching it's full potential. That list right there leaves a lot of thing to be fucked up, trust me on that. If a grower has the right lights, nutrients etc...., keeps the boy plants off the girl plants, flushes properly, harvests at an optimal time, drys slow enough, and cures properly, I flat GUARANTEE that the finished product will be be better than the original bagweed that had seeds. Just guessing that the bagweed with seeds was rushed to market and corners were cut. Those corners cut usually are cutting too early, drying too fast, and "what the fuck is curing?"

All that said, a specific plant can ONLY be as good as it's genetics allow, so if you get bagweed from Mexico, you know it is probably not as good as Vanilla Kush (2009 Cannibus Award Winner).
