I don't have any experience with autos but I have been grafting photoperiodics for several years. Here is a closeup of a typical healed graft. The lighter wood is from a male. Darker wood is a female. This is called a 'nuptial' graft. If you are interested in grafting I would suggest you take...

I would recommend Cannabis by Chris Duvall as an excellent, non-biased look at the history and cultural impact of Cannabis. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PIOPEYU?ref=dbs_p2d_P_R_popup_yes_pony_T1

Yes.

The timing of Heterozygous photoperiodic plants is just like homozygous photoperiodics. I doubt that there is anything to be gained by pursuing that avenue. The one thing I have noticed about heterozygous plants is that they tend to be shorter in height but no change in finish time. If you...

That is everyone's description of the perfect plant. For myself, anything that has an Indica::Sativa ratio between 60::40 and 40::60 has most of what you are asking for. A couple I would recommend are: Serious Happiness, Bubblicious Jilly Bean

@OldMedUser I'm curious about your GMO attitude. Here is a scenario I dream about. A gene that will triple the production of resin in Cannabis is discovered. This gene is present in all Cannabis plants but it is also 'turned off' in all plants. This gene can be 'turned on' using crispr...

Place the tubers so that the top surface, where the buds emerge, is even with the soil level. Water carefully in the early stages of development. For the first couple of weeks there is not much of a root system so it is very easy to over water and create a 'soaked' potting mix. You want to...

Myke, Don't pot up the tubers until they show signs of emerging from dormancy. You will see red,pink or white 'pointy' buds develop on the concave surface of the tuber. Potting before signs of growth is the main killer of begonia tubers.

Myke, you can grow them under any light source: T5, HPS, LED or natural light. I used T5s for many years before moving to LED. They work great. Just make sure you keep an eye on humidity. The seedlings develop fastest in a high humidity environment. When the seedlings are about one inch you...

Myke, Just a little final advice. 1. Start with pelleted seed. It is more expensive but much easier to sow and grow. 2. Pick an 'easier' Begonia to start with. I recommend Angel Wing or wax Begonia 3. Start the seeds in some sort of high humidity environment. A plastic bag over the pot...

Myke Here is a link to the Park Seed catalog entry for Begonia 'Big'. There is lots of cultural information. Feel free to ask me if you don't get what you are looking for from this page. https://parkseed.com/big-red-with-green-leaf-hybrid-begonia-seeds/p/02839-PK-P1/

There are many types of Begonia. Do you have anything particular in mind? I've been growing them from seed for a long time. Begonias from seed are not too difficult but are not entry level. So be prepared for some disappointment as you climb the learning curve. At the seedling stage they are...

To answer your question: yes. It's called 'composting' and had been done by gardeners for thousands of years.

In the past week I have: 1. Placed and order with DCSE 2. Received my seeds in good shape in THREE DAYS 3. Planted seeds immediately - all have now germinated 4. Total of eight days from order to seedling DCSE truly rocks!

I grew Gorilla Glue this past summer and it was the most resinous plant I've ever grown. I was wondering if there are others that are even more resin filled. GG is so resinous that it is a pain to work with. It sticks to everything. I had to dry it thoroughly to reduce the stickiness to the...

Dr Who and Vostok said it well, I'm just repeating it. Do Not Use Colchicine !!!! 1. It's way too toxic. 2. Polyploids have not demonstrated any advantage. 3. The reference you followed is 44 years old If you want to fool around with polyploidy, use the much less toxic Orzalin method...

I do it slightly differently. I sow the seeds in a container. Put the container into a plastic food storage bag. Put the bag into the refrigerator for the recommended amount of time. Usually the seeds will begin to germinate in the refrigerator. You need to check them frequently and move the...

I would suggest starting with a 'classic' like Northern Lights. Easy to grow, productive and, in my opinion a very good smoke. Your experience with a stable strain will give you a point of comparison that everyone will understand. For example, you could say something is "... more sedating than...

Tissue culture would be of limited use when hunting for a prized pheno by evaluating seed-grown plants. The plants you are evaluating are the result of some sort of hybridization. The 'new' genetic combinations that may include a prized pheno are in the seeds, nowhere else. A plant that is...
