I wish I had given away more of my stash before it got so old. Sometimes I go for a walk around town and push my extra seeds into planters up and down main street. Every now and then one will get a foot or so tall before they catch it

Hey that looks great for a super simple grow fert solution for the casual grower, I like it. I've had good success with some of dr earth's dry fert mixes.

They look like the beginning of pollen sacks to me, but it never hurts to give it a few days to fully express. If so then whack, yank, and replant.

A.k.a said: Couple more questions.
Whatβs your guys opinion on removing a couple sugar leaf blades if theyβre covering buds? I trained this one into a kind of little staircase shape at the top and now theyβre covering each other up.

Then is it common to have a node that really favors one side like this?? Or is there something that causes it.

I do not remove sugar leaves, I've found decaying bits of leaf stem in the removal spots can lead to bud rot later on. It is also my experience that those plants don't do as well.
asymmetrical node growth could be due to light exposure being better on one side, that has happened with mine before.

This is probably a lot cheaper and can also be used to help old seeds sprout.

I think I want to try coco this winter in the off season. I've always been a strict organic living soil builder. It's never done me wrong and gives the best bud... but I've always wanted to beast some autos in hydro of some sort.

Been making a lot of incorrect assumptions about my tap water in Portland. I got really really spoiled on well water up in the mountains, so I decided to do more research into Portland tap water. I already knew it had the dreaded chloramine in the water, but I didn't know the PH. After a bit of google magic it turns out the official city water PH is 8.2, which is being raised to 8.5 in 2022. JFC! Glad I have an air stone and air pump, going to be needing to do 10-20 gallon batches of worm poo tea to help neutralize that water.
To be clear, aeration does not reduce the amount of chloramine in the water, it does not dissipate quickly like chlorine. I'm relying on the organic matter to neutralize the chloramine and help bring the PH down. It's worked in the past.

What do you use for checking ph?...Any suggestions for a cheap ph meter/tool?

Control wizard accurate 8 soil probe. Nothing else I've used is as good for soil PH.
As for the PH of my tap water I just looked up the info online. I'll test it if I ever get a liquid ph meter, but it's not a priority right now. I agree on organic living soil growing, it buffers just about everything. I'll PH my soil mix using the probe at mix and after sitting for a few weeks, just to see where it goes. I'll also probe the pot periodically throughout the grow to see where it's at.

Hobbit GDF said: Do you guys think that photoperiod cannabis will go extinct?
Absolutely not. Autos are great for the home market, but the consistency that photo cuts provide in an industrial indoor environment make for better business. Not to mention the incredibly giant plants that people can grow outdoors in one season. I don't think autos will take over by accident either. Just ask the people in the midwest that have to deal with wild hemp spraying pollen everywhere. People find a way to work around it.
We also have to distinguish if we're talking about early flowering photosensitive plants that some people call auto (Iranian autoflower for example) or truly daylight neutral autos bred from (allegedly) ruderalis.
The only thing I consider an "autoflower" is a truly daylight neutral plant who's cycle cannot be manipulated by adjusting photoperiod. Yes these plants flower first, but they are small and low to the ground and their pollen dispersal is thus not as prolific as photoperiod plants. Autoflowering is also a recessive trait, so an f1 of an auto and photo parent will be all photoperiod. The cross will likely flower a week or two sooner than it normally would have outside, but it is still a 100% photoperiod dependent plant. When autos do occasionally pop out in F1 it's because the photo parent has a secret auto somewhere in it's ancestry.
Once autos are in the blood line though they begin a sneaky move to dominate the gene pool over time. Krk from Highrise noticed this pattern after working with them for a few years. It can be manipulated for desired results though, and getting a plant to both resemble the parent photo and retain the auto trait takes some work.
Now on to fems: For the record fem plants and hermies are NOT the same thing. Hermie pollen often contains both x and y chromosomes, with stops inbetween. A properly done fem with two true breeding female plants, or a true breeding selfed plant will not have any male traits or chromosomes.
Liz, are we talking LBH here?

psi said: I'm trying to understand why hermaphrodite genetics didn't outcompete biological males in the wild in the first place. Say a still-viable seed gets shit out by some animal at a desirable location that isn't all that close to other cannabis plants. If the plant is a hermaphrodite and does well, it definitely gets pollinated and drops seeds at that location, giving a good chance of establishing a persistent population at that spot. If it's a female it probably catches pollen from distant plants somewhere, but maybe not tons, and probably enough seeds are made that a patch of plants gets established. If it's a male, maybe its pollen reaches some distant plants, but it definitely drops no seeds at that location and establishes no lasting patch of plants there.
Without our meddling in their genetic pools, hermies only tend to show up in the wild as a last ditch effort at breeding. Given proper environment and conditions they will stick to the regular plan. Stress appears to bring out the trait.
I mean, we've all seen what people with pure noble family blood look like around the world. Can't inbreed anything without some... anomalies...
Given time and the ability to select on their own plants will either adjust to any environment or die out. I'm continuously blown away by cannabis's natural ability to adjust to a wide variety of environments around the world. Everything from tropical 120 day flowering giant sativas to daylight neutral ruderalis that developed a trait to deal with a brief 2-3 month growing window in Siberia.

LBH was an auto breeder famous for being one of the first to make tropical sativa autos using thaipan genetics I think. They were some potent and glorious plants, but they were notorious for throwing herms. It was still sought after at the time due to the potency and having an auto tropical sativa.
Most early auto breeders I dealt with threw herms. Stitch, LBH, even had herms from some of Mossy's genetics one time. Auto breeding has obviously taken a leap since then.
I'm not sure it's homework as much as I was a MOD on an autoflower cannabis forum a couple of times. I got to watch the knowledge develop, along with all the tall tails. If you ever want to completely ruin the hobby might I suggest becoming a moderator on a cannabis forum I'll never be a MOD on anything again. Here for the shits and giggles at this point.

Stitch became enough of a problem to catch a ban. Getting in contact with him was worse than him ignoring you. He was incapable of accepting criticism and any time there was an issue (more often than not) he blamed the growers for problems that can only arise from shitty breeding. Just an absolute man-child.
He eventually got involved with some sketchy people in Columbia and has since kinda disappeared. If he took his attitude there with him I don't expect he's in a healthy place...
The only stitch strain I really liked was MI5, and even that would throw a nanner or two in flower half the time.

I find it's strain dependent. Some of my big plants don't need any training at all, some require a lot of encouragement not to be a pole.

Not knocking your style, but this is why I like to build organic soil and plunk plants in. Plug and play.
That said, due to circumstances i was not able to mix the large pots until yesterday, so i had to leave a buffer zone of regular soil for the plants to grow into while the rest cooks. Not ideal in any way, but gotta work with what you got π

When the light stats say it can cover 2x4, they mean it can cover 2x4 in an enclosed 2x4 space with reflective walls. Without that light bounce back it's just petering out on the edges. I highly suggest investing in a grow tent along with a filter and extraction inline fan.

Yeah, that! It's a good light and your plants do look great!
One of the awesome things about running a tent and filter in my small abode is I am constantly breathing the cleanest air. My lung health got so much better when I started growing in a tent with a filter. Just clean air constantly being refreshed with O2 in my house, like living in a fresh lightning storm!
