Yeah, v12.. here, the schwag, regs, etc. is often highly compressed and shipped into the US in the tires of 18 wheelers or such. It's not something we see a lot of up north anymore because cacnada is so liberal about weed, now. We see more canadian than mexican, usually. 10 years ago, that was FAR from true. The quality stuff is all locally grown. We have some decent genetics dudes near me, too. A few years back, we had a local variety that was ungodly strong. It was a cross of White Widow and Black Domina called "the fever". Reference to jungle fever. It was absolutely intense. auditory and occassionally visual hallucinations. SEVERE depression and anxiety, though. I talked to the breeder and he killed the only remaining mom of it due to complaints! The shit I've had in A'dam didn't come close to the strength of this. I saved some of that for like 2 years and would add it to joints every once in a while to kick it up a notch, as needed. :)

Forgot the point there.. Mex usually has seeds. None of my Cannugget (from Canada) ever has seeds. :) Where I am, Cannuggett is usually the lowest on the totem pole. Hey.. at least it's sensi. Now, if they'd only legalize.

couple questions guys ok so ive been thinking since i have very limited space to grow but want the most yeild possibile is there any trick you guys suggest? i know im gonna want to LST the plant but thats later on and ill need some help with that but i herd something about brown sugar increases yeild..? also i was thinking about the yellowing leaves with brown tips do u guys think its a possible nutrient deficiency??? or is it just from the ph uncertainty ?? and also about how long do you think the bagseed will take until its time to harvest?

thanks guys
Using molasses is very interesting as the plant does use sugars and it seems that it's the roots that use them. I'll have to refresh my memory on how though. It's not something I use at the moment due to uncertainties of it's composition and effect on overall nutrition. Remember these will be small plants and are less capable of dealing with problems than larger ones. Brown sugar is refined though so would not really be available to the roots.
The beauty of buying seeds is that the breeder has grown them and can tell you the flowering time but your bagseed could be anything so flowering times will be uncertain too.
Once flowering gets underway the plant will grow strongly and the aim is to use this growth spurt to shape the plant in the best way to take max advantage from the light setup. This is something that will take time and experience really. JUst experiment to find the best shape for your system.
The damage on the bagseed is very limited and the new growth is strong and healthy which would suggest that you have fixed the problem. It seems to me that the only change you made was to lower the plant which is why I think maybe it was related to the light. I introduce my girls to the light quite slowly and don't see the problem but this is only a possibility. You need to monitor all changes and the effects they have and this will improve your yields on every grow.

thought i would post my rant on sugar :P, i take biotechnology at university of Toronto.

well i have read molassas is for feading beneficial bacteria and microbes, and intaked by plants for storage. Put it this way, what is a orange?, During the veg stage of a plant sugar and nutrients are take up by roots, and LEAVES dont be fooled, and are takes to sugar storage bins within the plant, leaves, roots, stems etc. When the plant is switched into flowering these vital sugar storage bins are used to fuel the production and assembly of complex sugars for the creation of buds/fruit/flowers. When there is a large storage of sugars (more than one kind) through the addition of sugar additives and molasse, the plant can produce mass amount of fruits, flowers or buds. This is why citrius fruit is very sweet and apples are very sugar/starchy (starch is storage sugars in plants). The sugar storage bins are converted to fruits, buds and flowers so make sure you have great excess of this vital sugars during flowering and veg stage.

I've heard of people using molasses, turbinado sugar, belgian rock candy diluted or even kool-aid. I bet brown sugar would be fine, but I'm no scientist.

Someone on these forums tryed kool-aid and it fuked up there plants.

Wouldnt try it with sugar either tbh, and most fertilizers u buy nowadays have mollasses in them. If not just take a trip to your local hydro and pick up a bottle of mollases shouldnt be too expensive :)

In all honesty, I wouldn't do it. I'll be doing the molasses thing, but that's about it. Makes you wonder about things like pure maple syrup, too.

ive used pure maple syrup on one grow... not sure if it really did anything but i did get some great bud off that plant.

Did the roots go all brown and gooey?
:bigjoint:
naa they were still white. but i did leave some maple syrup mixed in water sitting for a week or so and the water had mold in it. i watered a few times with it before i noticed, but the plant grew fine.

i used like a cap full to a gallon of water and about 10ml of hydrogen peroxide. i you use it check the water for mold everyday or use everything the same day you mix it.
