First of all I'd say your plants look great. Compact, clean, dark green and signs of vigorous new growth. Is this strain 'Aurora Indica' by Nirvana? If so, check out the grow reports on Seedfinder: http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Aurora_Indica/Nirvana_Seeds/ Use Google Translate to...

Daniel Amen is most definitely NOT A SCIENTIST! He is a conman using your ignorance and 'sciency' sounding crap to empty your wallet. Leave scientists out of this. Science had nothing to do with this abortion.

Bearback , _Manual of Woody Landscape Plants_ by Michael Dirr is the best investment you can make if you are interested in plant propagation. You don't need the latest edition. If you can find a cheap older edition from a used book dealer buy it. The propagation information rarely changes...

I really should have made it clear that I am in USDA climate zone 6B so the dates I gave would have to be translated to other zones. My beach plum cuttings rooted in a month. If you are at least a month away from leaf out you might want to give hardwood cuttings a try. My rooting 'medium'...

You have picked the right day to ask this question. I'm snowed in by the east coast blizzard so I will have time to write an excessively long reply. First off, the only plum I have rooted is beach plum (Prunus maritima) but Prunus domestica, the common 'fruit' plum, will respond to the same...

To get anything useful you will have to be much more specific. "Fruit trees" covers so much territory that it would take a couple of volumes to cover all propagation for all fruit trees. However, so you don't go home empty handed, here is some info about fruit trees of the genus Prunus. Prunus...

There is no link to the original paper so this reply is based on what the OP wrote. Often those not familiar with such studies will leave out important details that seem irrelevant to the non-scientist. It's always best to give a link to the original source. I don't mean this as a put down...

I've grown both under lights and outside. No problems with either. NL produced 5oz from a summer outdoor grow.

Yes, the plant in the photo eventually three different varieties grafted on it. I harvest all about three months later.

How do you get them back into the US? Or do you mail them to yourself from Holland?

I've done lots of Cannabis grafting and my take is there is not much to gain from doing it but it is a lot of fun. Grafted plants always attract attention and are great conversation starters if you have visitors to your grow. First of all, Cannabis is very easy to graft when the plants are...

It is very hard to figure out what offers are still active. If these posts had an automatic inactivate date the whole concept of ongoing contests would straighten itself out and there would be minimal confusion. The out of date posts are still fun to read, especially the ones where a creative...

I think you are being a bit paranoid however plain old window screen works just as well as the dish cushioning material to keep perlite from building up on the surface. You can get window screen in aluminum, brass and plastic so you can pick which contaminates you are partial to. The one...

I would recommend root control bags: http://treebag.com/root-control-bag/ The link is for one of many vendors, do your research. As for potting mix I've been using Pro-Mix for more than 20 years for tree seedlings. I fertilize most seedlings with EC 1.25 in the spring when new growth starts...

I use this stuff: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Con-Tact-20-in-x-4-ft-Almond-Premium-Grip-Shelf-Liner-6-Per-Pack-04F-C6O54-06/202499862 It's a spongy rubber used to cushion dishes in storage. I cut it to size, cut from one edge to the center and open up the center with an 'x' cut. Slip around...

Where can you get some pre-sown orchid seeds? The link below is a good starting point. You will have to do your own research since it is not clear what you are interested in and there are about 30k orchid species and uncountable hybrids. Seedlings in flask just need correct temperature, light...

I would not take 'study' this too seriously, One of the authors is Daniel Amen. From Quackwatch (https://www.quackwatch.org/06ResearchProjects/amen.html): Daniel G. Amen, M.D., runs the Amen Clinics, writes books, gives lectures, maintains a Web site, and makes other media appearances. He...

Growing orchids from seed is difficult. Orchid seed does not have any stored food. The seedling must get its nutrition from some other source. Orchids grown in cultivation are sown on a sterile nutrient medium containing everything the seed needs to grow. The seed must be disinfected and...

A good place to start is the American Orchid Society, http://www.aos.org/. From personal experience I would look at starting from seed as very advanced orchid culture. Just learning how to grow them is enough of a learning curve for a beginner.

Wow! What strain? How long was veg?
