The Shaivite Temple

Here is the Pilot Video for the Shaivite Temple, I will be making videos regularly now. I will add the most recently video in the post, then the next few posts are going to be the old updates to catch everyone up in picture form, then most new updates will come with a video from now on.

The later videos will be better

(Old Update)
Tomorrow I will be creating a post with pictures of a few seeds I will be germinating, along with the plants I am already growing. But this post will be just about the lights that I am using. I will start with the new lights, and then I will show you the lights I have left over from the last grow.


This is a 1500W LED Hood light. If you have ever seen a grow in a magazine, or at a dispensary, or on Facebook or something, and there was purple light in the grow, this is the kind of light they were using. It contains spectrums of light for all seasons, and also includes a little UV light, which will be good for the African Strains I am growing. It is equal to 1500W of regular light bulb light, and it uses under 300W of electricity to make it. This will be my main flower light, and the general rule is about 1g per 1W so 1500W = about 1500g per 3 Square Meters.




These are LED Corn Cob lights. Basically it is just a bunch of little LED diodes in a curly shape on a strip and encased in glass. These are extremely bright, way brighter than you would expect. They are 20W each which makes them equal to about 150W each if they were regular light bulbs. So I am getting more light for less energy. Together these should be about 600W.




These are the kind of lights that people use in Lizard cages. They are 10.0 meaning that they have summer noon-day UV rays, and they are 26W CFLs which means they are equal to about 100W each, so about 400W total. UVB is the kind of light that causes Cancer, and it seems to boost THCv production, as THCv seems to possibly have some kind of action that protects the plant from the UVB rays.




Here are my old lights, they are 2x 125W CFLs and 1x 105W CFL. I will be using them in the grow also. Each one should add about 400W to the grow, but I will not be using all of them.








These are Fox Farm nutrients, these are probably the most commonly used Marijuana nutrients, and it is Organic so it can be used in Organic grows.




This is Silicate, what it basically does is allow the plant to absorb tiny Quartz Crystal structures, and then it uses those in its fibers. And when the plant fibers have Quartz Crystal added to them, they become stronger and can carry more buds on each branch.




So if anyone is interested in growing Marijuana indoors, having all this would be overkill for most grows, so this is all the nutrients and light you would need.

(Old Update)
The Banana Crack and White Strawberry Skunk seeds came today, which are the Aromatic strains that I will be mixing with the African strains in my Religious Marijuana grow. So I decided that I would make a post for everyone so that they can know how to turn seeds into plants. The process of getting a seed to turn into a plant is called "germination".


So first, you just need some seeds. I ordered some from a Seedbank in Europe, but you can use some that you find in your buds also. Marijuana seeds are not hard to grow, they are from the Hindu Kush Mountains, which is basically a desert environment.




Once you have your seeds, just get a paper towel and then get the paper towel wet, squeeze it into a ball, then unfold it and lay it flat and put the seeds on it. It doesn't have to be super wet, but you don't want it to be too dry. The seeds need the humidity and moisture in order to germinate.




Then from there you just fold up the paper towel, then put it in a plastic bag marked with the name of the seeds, and wait a few days to a week, and some of the seeds should have little roots and 2 little leaves. Seeds that can be germinated are called "viable", an example of a non-viable seed would be a seed that has existed for more than 2-5 years.

(Old Update)
Here are the plants I am currently growing. There are 3 of us, so we can legally grow 18 plants according to Colorado's State Constitution Amendment 64. It is also my Religion, so it is further protected. But I will also be finding people who want to take clones around here, then allow me to pollenate 1 branch of the plant, then allow me to take the seeds, breed them out again or lock the genetics in, then I will share locked in seeds with everyone involved.

First, I already have regular seeds growing, and 3 clones. So from the regular seeds I can get males, then I have some Feminized seeds coming to breed.

I am growing Regular African strains, then White Rhino, Blue Mystic, etc. And I am actually hoping that I will get 1 or 2 of the African strains as males, so that I can breed them with the other plants.

So the plan is African Strains X Aromatic Strains X Commercial Strains, then maybe cross 1 more time with an African Strain or Aromatic Strain

African Strains = Malawi, African Buzz, South African Kwazulu, Early Durban
Aromatic Strains = Banana Crack, White Strawberry Skunk, Blue Mystic, Cheeses, Diesels etc
Commercial Strains = Kush Strains, Haze Strains, White Widow Strains, Skunk Strains, etc


Here is the Religious case for this:

To prove my case I use a mixture of Case Law (Law decided by the Courts), Statutory Law (Law decided by Congress), Fundamental Law (Constitutional Rights and operations of the Courts and Congress as stated in the Constitution,etc), Historical Evidence to prove the reality of the Religion, and even DEA and FDA Administrative Regulations. This is not the whole case, but it is an outline that anyone could show to their lawyer and ask them to apply it to their situation. As long as you are actually growing Religiously, and not just using Religion as an excuse to sell Bud.

Hinduism is the only Ancient World Religion that has survived through Abraham, Jesus and Muhammed and is practiced by 15% of the World's current population. India is the only country in which the people living there are still using the same Temples and Holy Sites that they used over 4500 years ago when the first Hindu Holy Book, the Rig Veda, was written. Marijuana has been a part of every large society, from Ancient China, India and Egypt, to Ancient Greece, Rome and the Middle East and Europe. The word Indica means "From India" the word Sativa means "To Cultivate". The word "Ganja" comes from the Ganges River and the word "Kush" comes from the Hindu Kush Mountains, where it is believed the first Marijuana seeds came from. Lord Shiva is the Lord of Marijuana, the Lord of Bhang. Shiva is what happens when you smoke Marijuana, Shiva is what happens when you Dance. Shiva is simply a force of Nature and can not be denied. The DEA allows for corporations to legally Manufacture, Import (through customs), Distribute/Sell, etc, Marijuana (by the Ton), Coca leaf and Cocaine (by the ton), substances like LSD, 2C-I, DOM, etc, there are companies that have licenses to Manufacture or Import not 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 substances, but some places are allowed to Manufacture and Import 50+ Schedule I and Schedule II substances. And in August 2016 the opened up registration for companies to begin doing this with Marijuana, as the University of Mississippi was the only place allowed to do it under Federal law before (for the Federal Marijuana patients), and this was seen by the DOJ as a Monopoly, so the DEA opened up registration.

The way this works is called DEA form 225, protocol found in 21 CFR 1301.18; 81 FR 53846. And the Free Exercise Clause states that Congress shall make no laws to prohibit the Free Exercise of Religion. If a corporation has been given a right or opportunity, that same right or opportunity must be given to Religions. The way the courts have stated it previously is that "If Marijuana laws are equally applied to everyone, then we can apply them to your Religion", well they are no longer being equally applied to everyone.

Plants


Similarly to how people think of "Africa" as one giant thing, it is actually a very diverse place, with very diverse cultures and people and genetics and backgrounds and colonial histories, etc. And that is true for the African strains as well. I have also read that the South African Kwazulu is actually a fast flowering strain, and then one of the strains I have is early Durban, so that is an earlier flowerer.

The first think I really want to do is mix the Afircan strains with Aromatic strains. Supposedly Durban Poison and Grandaddy Purp made Cherry Pie, then crossing that back with Grandaddy Purp made Pink Champagne. So the Early Durban (which is Durban mixed with Skunk, which is pretty Aromatic already) and the African strains, when mixed with Banana Crack, White Strawberry Skunk, Blue Mystic, Girl Scout Cookies, and Purple Bud, it could bring out some good smells that don't exist yet, the same way Cherry Pie was made. I would also be interested in mixing them with Diesels and Cheeses and strong Lemon strains and Erdbeer and things like that.

Then I want to mix those crosses with things like Hazes and Kushes and White Widow Strains and Green Crack, etc.

And either lock the genetics in at that point, or cross them back with African strains or Aromatic strains.




African Buzz is an Malawi Gold Phenotype that was bred out by a Breeding company.




Malawi is another form of Malawi Gold from another company, the genetics are not locked in and it is a normal landrace.




South African Kwazulu is an African landrace from the Shaka Zulu tribe.




Early Durban is Durban Poison from South Africa, combined with Skunk #1 plants that were selected for their early flowering times.




Blue Mystic is a plant that no one is sure of the background of, but people have guessed that it is probably Northern Lights and Blueberry.




Hindu Kush is basically a selected landrace plant that has been bred by a company, and is from the Hindu Kush Mountain region.




White Rhino is White Widow mixed with Rhino.

This is just a quick update on the Religious Marijuana grow, with the 1st and 2nd tallest plants, along with the 2 newest strains. Then a little more information on Religious Marijuana Law.

Tallest

I don't really have any other way to measure the plants right now except for by their height, so I will update you on the 1st and 2nd tallest.


The first Tallest by a few inches is Early Durban.




Then about tied for 2nd tallest are African Buzz and Malawi, which are both actually Malawi Gold variations. So they are brother and sister (I don't know which are male or female yet).


African Buzz





Malawi





New Strains

These are the new strains. During part 1 they were still germinating.


Banana Crack





White Strawberry Skunk

(3) Exclusions and limits
No government shall impose or implement a land use regulation that—
(A)
totally excludes religious assemblies from a jurisdiction; or
(B)
unreasonably limits religious assemblies, institutions, or structures within a jurisdiction.

The use, building, or conversion of real property for the purpose of religious exercise shall be considered to be religious exercise of the person or entity that uses or intends to use the property for that purpose.


And btw, it's not like I am "finding loopholes" or something, this is just the law. For example, in the Alcohol code of Colorado there is a Religious Exemption for Religious Wine Sales.
https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/sites/default/files/Liquor Code_0.pdf


The very FIRST Exemption in the Colorado Alcohol Code states:
"The provisions of this article shall not apply to the sale or distribution of sacramental wine sold for Religious purposes".


The Colorado Marijuana Code just has not been in the courts enough yet to have these changes added like they are supposed to be.


And if anyone thinks that there should not be a Religious Exemption in the Colorado Marijuana Code, then what is this whole thing about? (from Colorado Amendment 64)


(1) Purpose and findings.
(a) IN THE INTEREST OF THE EFFICIENT USE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT RESOURCES, ENHANCING REVENUE FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES, AND INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM, THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF COLORADO FIND AND DECLARE THAT THE USE OF MARIJUANA SHOULD BE LEGAL FOR PERSONS TWENTY-ONE YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AND TAXED IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO ALCOHOL

This part is going to be about clones. Below are 3 clones that I got from the Dispensary about 3 weeks ago, notice the yellow leaves, and some of what looks like it has died? That is because these plants started with no roots, they were just cuttings from a Mother plant. This way I know they will be female (meaning they will make Buds and can be Pollenated), but it took about a month for the clones to grow roots.


Danky Kong



(Kong X Biodiesel F1)


Gorilla Glue



(Sour Dubb X Chem Sister) X Chocolate Diesel


Girl Scout Cookies



(I assume it is BlimBurn)

(Durban F1 X OG Kush) X Green Crack

(Old Update)
This part is going to be about Preflower, which is how you identify male and female plants. Part 4 will introduce you to the concept and Part 5 will show you male and female preflower on my plants.


Gender

Here is the "Preflower" this is how you determine the gender of a Marijuana plant.




I currently can only actually tell the gender of the clones. With a clone you are guaranteed to a get a plant that is the same gender as the plant that the cutting was taken from. This means that if you take a male cutting you will get a male clone, if you take a female cutting you will get a female clone. A female clone could end up going "Hermie", which means it turns into a Hermaphrodite and has male and female genitalia and pollenates itself. You won't be able to tell it is Hermie until during the flower cycle when little Banana looking pollen sacks grow.


You can force a plant to go Hermie by putting Silver materials in its soil, or by rubbing a product called "Colloidal Silver" all over the plant's leaves. This will force the plant to go Hermie. A Hermie plant will have seeds that don't have the male Chromosome.



This is the Girl Scout Cookies Clone, and I knew it would be female because I got it as a Clone.




As you can see, not only does it have the little prong/hair/leaf looking things growing, it has something like a small nug of Marijuana growing out above the prong/hair/leaf thing. This shows it is female. I do not have any examples of males yet, but will explain that next and show males in the next part.




This is the Early Durban, I still do not know if it is male or female.




Notice the little prong/hair/leaf things, there are 2 of them. Right behind those is where the male or female parts will grow and then I will be able to tell if this plant is a male or female. Pretty much all the plants that I started from seed have this right now except for the Banana Crack and White Strawberry Skunk.




So those little prongs/hairs/leaves are the preflower spot and are where you will look to determine the gender of your plants. Most people, at the time they find out, will kill all the males to prevent them from putting pollen and therefore seeds in their females. But I am breeding, so I will need both males and females.


Breeding

Here is the plan for the breeding program.


African strains being "A"
Aromatic strain being "B"
Commercial strain being "C"


We can end up with these combos:
A X B X C
A X C X A
A X B X A
A X B X C X A
A X B X C X B


Here is how I am selecting genetics, it is also how I will do it with the marker information, but this is how I am doing it for now.


First, I am using seed finder to find lineages, and many of the plants I have are landrace or basically landrace, so they don't have much of a genetic line if a genetic line at all. But the ones that do, what I am doing is trying to match up their backgrounds.


This is called Recombination. For example, if I take Danky Kong, which is 1/4 White Russian, and breed that with White Rhino, then the White Widow genes are "Recombining" after being altered slightly by other genes. Kind of like if Darwin's Finches mated, and created a Recombined breed of finches.


Second, I am looking for similar genetics that come from different lines. An example would be the frostiness of the White Widow strains, White Russian, White Rhino, etc, combined with the Frostiness of the Tahoe OG. These are 2 different lines, but combined would have extra frostiness. So Danky Kong mixed with Tahoe OG would probably be super frosty. And because Danky Kong has Diesel genetics, and Tahoe OG smells like Kerosene, the genetics that create their smells would probably combine well also.


I am basically in the end going to be doing like Bomb Seeds did, but instead of making a strain that brings out big yields and dense nugs, I want to bring out THCV, and smells and whatever else is hidden in the African genetics.


Basically, Bomb Seeds made their Bomb #1 Phenotype, and they combine it with Cheese to make a bigger and higher yielding Cheese plant, or Sour Diesel for a bigger and higher yielding Sour Diesel plant.


But what I am doing is making sure that everything has African Genetics, and Heavy Aromatic Genetics, then Kush, Haze, White Widow, etc, genetics.


Those will stand as strains of their own once they are stabilized, and maybe after mixing in another African strain or Aromatic strain with some of them. But then I will start mixing those strains together. Like (A X B XC) X (D X E X F) until I find a really frosty, strong, aromatic, unique breeding plant. Then I will lock in the genetics and maybe pick a phenotype if one is best. Then I will create a line by crossing that strain with regular dispensary strains, and pure landrace strains.

(Old Update)
This installment of the series is going to be purely about topping, with a tiny little bit about FIMing, which is basically the same thing with a twist to get slightly different results.


Topping is where you chop the top off of a plant, you could do this either for the purpose of taking a clone, or just to "Top", which is what I am about to show you. Ok, so once you have chopped the Top off of your plant, what do you do?


The Answer is: Nothing


Just keep watering it and giving it nutrients and everything like you normally do, but it will be fine.


Here is my Early Durban (Durban Skunk)




Here is the Early Durban after about 1 Week, it was actually a little less but I forget how many days exactly. Notice that those two little tufts of leaves became 2 new tops.




Here it is after being Transplanted into a larger container, and after maybe 2-3 Weeks.




Now, I don't have any pictures for FIMing yet, but FIMing is just chopping a little high, which causes the plant to grow 4 tops instead of 2 tops. I did it on 3 other plants, but I didn't take pictures. When it does it I will show you the process with another plant and take pictures of the plant that had it done previously. I did the other ones later than the Early Durban so they'll take a little longer.


And you can continue to Top your Tops until you have like 8, 10, 12, 14 Colas, you just have to have the light and space for it.

Yeah, because I'm growing in a box with 20x 15W CFLs

Info about lights for everyone

If you go Google "400W 1000W HPS LED Study" there was a study done where a few biologists and horticulturists grew in these conditions.

1.
1000W HPS

2.
400W HPS
100W LED surrounding it on 4 sides


And they claimed that the 400W worked the same as the 1000W, with the added benefit of better light penetration, meaning more branches getting more light making bigger nugs everywhere, instead of just mainly at the middle of the HPS like it does with HPS, they called the HPS good spot on the plant(s) the "sweet spot". But the LED/HPS combo gave more nugs, as well as more trichombes.

And I am doing a combo.

So I wouldn't say that the wattage is really important at all as long as you have enough. And I have enough, plus I will probably get a CMH soon, which is equivalent to 1000W MH, and CMH is just Ceramic Metal Halide (MH is Metal Halide for the benefit of anyone reading who does not know). And something like 315W CMH is 1000W MH because less Wattage goes to heat. And LEDs don't give off as much heat either, so it's also possible that the added wattage benefit I am seeing that is greater than actual wattage is the heat benefit. And I am just saying that it's better than actual wattage, I am not saying 1500W LED is equal to 1500W HPS, but it is higher than its actual wattage compared to HPS. I think LED 1500W is like 350 actual Watts, and I would say that 1500W LED is way better than 350W HPS.

But with Ceramic Metal Halide they are actually the same type of light, but just a different material allows the bulb to not heat up so much, which allows 315W to be 1000W, and there aren't as many haters out there disputing that.

I am going to be making tons of videos: Supercropping, Topping, FIMing, Cloning, Bamboo Poles, and probably a little SCROG.

And during that time I will set up the Hash Lab, and I will start showing everyone the Lab Equipment they need for Hash making, and I will start making Hash and extracting Terpenes from other plants.

Then, I will flip over to flower after 2-3 weeks, because they have already been vegging for a while, so they will fill the 10 Gallons pretty quickly; they have plenty of leaves, and we will be providing them plenty of light.

Then I will be Breeding the plants, using Paint Brushes to pollinate the plants, then putting a ziplock bag around that branch.

Then I will be taking some Monster Crop clones.

Then I will be using Carbohydrates for the last Month of Flower (and Silicate the whole time).

And then when Harvest comes around, I have a Hash Lab that I am setting up that will come in handy. And I will have clones from the Flowered plants going, as well as the Monster Crop clones; so I will get started with a second flower. Plus I will have seeds to start growing out and crossing with a 3rd strain, and with each other.

Information about Epigenetics

Every "bad grow" these people here claim I had, was literally an Epigentics experiment, and they didn't understand. And now that I am back in Colorado, I will be doing this again. Not right now, but I will be doing epigenetic based breeding again.

https://www.rollitup.org/t/epigenetics-could-it-effect-the-future-of-breeding.803171/

https://www.rollitup.org/t/lmfao-epigenetics-stress-your-plants.802312/

I personally had the idea of Epigenetic breeding before I even knew what Epigenetics was, and when I learned what Epigenetics was, it completely proved my theory; and my theory was also based on evidence. What gave me the idea for stress breeding was Bouncing Bear Botanicals. They had San Pedro Cactus in like 2006 or something that was labeled "SS" which stood for "Super Stressed". And since the age of 14 I had started reading everything I possibly could about Alkaloids, so when I found out that their theory behind "SS" was that alkaloids were a defense mechanism, and many plants had been shown to have alkaloids appear in larger amounts when introduced to slicing, stabbing, burning, and other forms of "Super Stress". Their's were Cacti that had been grown in harsh conditions, and stabbed and slashed. And the possibility was that that would have caused it to have more Mescaline.

Now THC is not exactly an Alkaloid, and no one knows if Stressing it will bring more out (so let's find out). But UVB does bring out THCv, to protect from the UV rays. So there probably are ways to bring out more THC. And who cares if it brings out more in that particular generation, you can get the next Generation to be stronger, with higher THC content because of the stress of the parents. Epigenetics proves this.

And when I was doing this here, it's not like 100% of the people on this website were against me, just as an example I remember an old grower who said he had heard about people who used to hammer a nail into the stalk of their plant to make it produce more THC. And then someone else told me that they had known an old grower who would take his plants just before flower, and tie a cinder block to the top and stretch it out, then the branches would grow upwards like 3-6 plants, kind of like SCROG.

Here is the LED/HPS combo study
https://www.supergrowled.com/led-hps-hybrid-grow-lighting-review/

Can't wait to see 3lbs yield under your 1500w led.

I like your theory of creating watts or joules or whatever unit of measurement you want to use. There's no such thing as equivalent power, it's just energy. The only thing that can effect it, is efficiency in the usage and or delivery. Its real basic, P=IV

Let me explain to everyone how Epigenetics works:

Ok, so you know how you have probably had the thought that White people came from Cold, and then someone told you that it was more complicated than that, or just straight up told you you were wrong?

According to Epigenetics, you weren't "wrong", but you weren't getting the whole picture. Epigenetics says that the likely reason for White people, is more likely a mixture of factors, 1 not the Cold and the Snow like a White Rabbit using Camouflage, but White people's skin is actually due to a lack of UVB rays; which could either be accounted to the Climate, or living in Caves (like how you can see through a Cave Fish's skin, and they have no eyes). Then there is also the possible factor of Albinos coming from Africa (Albinos are still taboo in many African tribes) and mixing with the Cave/Cold people, which is called "Recombination" of genetic material. For example, if one of the 2 sets of Darwin's Finches made their way to the mainland, then on the mainland 2 groups were made because of a Mountain range that separated 2 groups of the 1 set for like 100,000 years; then at the end of that 100,000 years that new 3 species goes back to the island and breeds with the first one; Recombination. Then there is also the factor of things like Sickle Cell and Lactose Intolerance in higher rates in non-White genetics; the Sickle Cell is a protection from Malaria (and White people don't have that protection), but Lactose Tolerance could be from living on Dairy in the Caves. Cheese and all that is just rotten milk and lasts a long time.

And all these factors had small effects on White DNA, making White people.

A more short term example is a test they have done with Mice, as well as the Monkey test I have shown many times where one Monkey was given less food than it needed over 20 years and it was much more vital (fuller hair, standing taller, etc) than the one that had gotten all the food it needed during the 20 years. In the Mouse experiment they took a mouse and had her live in a room with an electric floor, and they would put a lemon scent in the room, and shock her randomly. Then she got pregnant and when she had babies, every time they smelled lemons they would freak out like they were being shocked.

There are tons of experiments that have been done, and this is a completely accepted Science. And it's not Human Science, or Mouse Science, or Monkey Science, it's Genetic Science; so it applies to anything with DNA.

1. I let plants die to find the survivors

2. I am using African strains with THCv, which is a result of UVB; meaning it is basically the same exact thing as Melanin (pigment) in human skin. And I am using UVB lights to bring out the THCv.

3. I am using Flavor and Smell Strains.

4. I let leaves touch LED lights and burn, which may activate a response to create stronger, or maybe waxier leaves.

5. I have in the past used a Razor blade to chop a plant in half and let it grow like 2 plants with 1 root system.

6. I top and FIM my plants

7. I supercrop the stalk as it is growing, as well as the branches when they start coming out.

8. I stretch the plants either with just strings tied to the container tied to the tops of the branches to pull them down; or tie them to Bamboo poles.

There is more, but there are a bunch of good examples. And these are things you can do with all plants. There are other things that you could do specifically to get a certain desired trait. For example, many people will baby their plant's pH level, because if it gets too Acidic or Basic it can kill your plants, but if you were to keep growing in Super Acidic or Super Basic Soil, and only bred the ones that survived because the other ones were dead, then you would eventually even up with a strain that can grow in Acidic Soil, and it might even end up making some new Flavors by absorbing Acids.

And the idea of "Absorbing Acids" could add a whole other layer to the Epigenetics of Breeding an Acid Resistant Strain, you could grow a Strain that thrives in only 1 form of Acid, say Mallic Acid, which is what gives Apples their Flavors. And what if it possibly begins to absorb the Mallic Acid and use it to add smell and flavor, the way certain species eat other species for their poison; some eat Sea Urchins, some eat Ants, etc. Just water them with 10% Mallic Acid every time, and keep the survivors, and if too many seem to be surviving, up the %.

And you could also do the same with bugs. There are Ants that live in Acacia Trees; you could start an Ant Farm inside your Marijuana grow containers, and just see what that does over time. You could do the same with Various fungi and plants, for example Wormwood (the Absinthe plant) kills other plants around it, but some plants can grow around it. You could create a strain of Marijuana that can survive in the same container as Wormwood (if it doesn't already), and see if that makes any other genetic changes. Or you could just grow Marijuana with various other plants and find out what happens with each one. Fungus and Bacteria would be good as well.

You could grow Bacteria by getting Petri Dishes and Agar, then getting Cotton Swabs of Dogs, and Cats, and Horses, and Cars, and Buildings, and Fruit, etc etc etc. And then find a good place to identify Bacteria online, or find a good book. Then isolate ones that you can identify that are not dangerous, and let them fill up a Petri dish with Agar of their own; then add them to your Marijuana soil.

You could also try to get your plants to catch diseases, and then keep the survivors. There were a breed of Cow that was different from the parent Breed genetically, but only because it had gotten a virus. Ebola and the Plague both put markers on DNA, as well as HIV and AIDS, there is an entire tribe in Africa with HIV but none of them ever get AIDS, because everyone that could get it did, and died.

There are also various plant steroids that could be applied, as well as Silicate and its activator. But Silicate and the Activator should be used along with other factors.

And you could even mix tons of these together. These are all just various Breeding Possibilities that are not being considered by almost anyone in the Marijuana Industry right now.
