You are correct about the snake plant, aka Sansevieria. It is a chimera and does not come true to type from leaf cuttings. Commercially it is propagated by crown division. The cactus looks like a grafted form of a slow growing mutation. Not sure what type of cactus but you can search with...

This idea of 'loss of potency' over time seems to be cannabis culture specific. I've worked in the horticulture industry for 30 years and I've never heard this sort of argument from anyone except cannabis growers. In fact, just the opposite seems to be the case, rooting cuttings essentially...

Caanan, By all means try it! I was not trying to discourage you. I just wanted to point out that there may be some guidance from what has been done in mainstream horticulture. I've never heard of anyone doing what you suggested so you may be the first, go for it and report back.

Your idea is basically what is called 'compound layering' in mainstream horticulture. This technique is usually used for plant propagation not yield enhancement. Have a look: http://content.ces.ncsu.edu/plant-propagation-by-layering-instructions-for-the-home-gardener The example focuses on...

If you are the do-it-yourself type you might consider a home brew ebb and flow system. I'm currently working on this and I think it will result in an easy to manage and easy to scale system. The real attraction for me is the project. I like the engineering challenge but simplifying things...

Your have described the situation that has me confused. If they already have a high CBD strain why cross with White Widow or anything else? Why call it 'White Widow' when White Widow is not a single homogeneous strain but a collection of somewhat similar plants offered by different breeders?

I'm a medical user and I'm looking into growing a couple of high CBD strains. While researching strains it dawned on me that the old problem of multiple phenos probably affects CBD strains as well. I'm wondering how confident I can be that if I grow a high CBD strain I'll actually get high CBD...

http://www.naturalnews.com/053369_CBD_hemp_oil_extract_FDA_regulations.html You need to keep two things in mind: 1. NaturalNews.com is a conspiracy site that is a front for a business. Everything on NN is a conspiracy. Every conspiracy on NN can be thwarted by using the appropriate products...

As I said 'fooling around with grafting'. I was trying to find a use for a harvested plant. Being a foster parent to a bunch of seedlings seemed like something that might work, so I tried it. How do you re-attach broken branches?

Two weeks for a side veneer graft of a one month seedling to a mature carcass. The first week the scion is semi-wilted and does nothing. The second week it firms up and some new growth is visible. It takes about a month for the callus to form. I agree that hemp may provide the kind of...

Grafting is a good idea in principle but in practice I have found that there is very little, if anything, to gain. Unlike tomato there are no standard root stocks for cannabis. So there is no way to know if your grafted plant will do better than it would have done on its own roots. It takes...

The discussion entries alter the chronological order of the entries in 'in it to win it'. It is very hard to figure out which offers are still in effect. My suggestion would be to disable resorting after a new discussion entry but any method of indicating current or expired would suffice.

Thanks for the reply Beard. I have visited my friends several times in mid-summer and it did not seem very humid at all. They live pretty high up on a mountain, would altitude have an effect on humidity in NE Vermont? They asked me for advice on an outdoor grow so my first thought was one of...

What you are blaming on some vague conspiracy is simply a biological reality, hybrids do not come true from seed. Whether you are dealing with corn or cannabis you are a prisoner of the intersection of biology and commerce. Hybrids offer better performance so seed companies develop hybrids...

Just finished HSO Blue Dream, Royal Queen Special Queen #1 and Nirvana Northern Lights. All were low odor. BD and SQ were essentially no odor, NL had the most recognizable 'pot' odor but only at the end of flowering when the heat was above 80F.

Thanks thumper. Your spelling is close enough, but here is my translation: Hollands Hope and Frisian Dew by Dutch Passion. Is this correct?

I have a BlueLab ph pen and there is a setting for EC or ppm. No conversion necessary, just select one or the other. Check your manual. As others have suggested, EC is the least confusing way to measure. For more than you ever wanted to know about the subject read the papers (parts one to...

Cuttings from flowering plants generally do not revert to the juvenile state if that is the basis of your question. So a cutting from a flowering plant will just continue to be a flowering plant once it is rooted.

I would like to hear from anyone who has grown autos this far north. What varieties did well? How long to finish? I'm trying to help a grower in NE Vermont. I live in a much warmer climate so I have no experience with either autos or cold weather strains.
