Tips on growing: Soil growing. Use a good brand soil. Avoid wood based soil, overly moist soil etc. Increase it's drainage and aeration. Bio gardeners use their own - high in nitrogen - compost. Hydro systems are technical grow 'factories'. You can control about anything with pumps, heaters, fans etc. So if you're that kind of techie, have yourself a system designed, plug it in, and there you go. Have the sprouts pointing downwards. Have a plastic foil 'tent' installed over the seedbed and a - fluorescent or other - light above the plants. Check your provider on what distance your particular lamp should be at, and watch the heat. Use light with a blue-green spectrum. Spray water under the tent to maintain humidity. In 2 days you will be able to see the sprouts come up. Humidity should be: 70-80% 1st week, 60-70% 2nd week, 60% until flowering. Do not overdo spraying or you'll invite mold. Keep the temperature at 77-83F / 25-28C. Keep acidity of soil and water towards neutral: pH level 6.4-7. All-in-one fertilizers are OK. Do not overdo this, rather be careful not to burn the plant with too much fertilizer. Air the 'tent' several times every day/light cycle for 1-2 hours. Use white covering of inside walls when growing in a closet. Taking away the males, the Sinsemilla way: Outside growers can take their grown plants to their specific location. Make an estimate of the daylight schedule in your specific spot, so your plants will not grow skyhigh. The plants will react to a shortening of the daylight cycle towards a full 12-14 hours darkness cycle. An inside grower will want to trigger this flowering reaction. This can be as soon as within several weeks. 2-3 weeks into this 12 hours darkness cycle you will be going after the males. Spot the females by their white hairs emerging from a small bulbous area at every internode. Using a magnifying glass, a male plant will have a small (like in playing card-) club looking preflower with a small stem under it. Pull the males, have no mercy. With her bud not pollinated, her bud matures without seeds. This is Sinsemilla, which simply means "no seeds". Her false seed pods will now swell with THC-rich resin. Harvesting: After a few more weeks, with about ~35% of the pistels turned color (brown, red, orange etc.), you harvest the tops for a more cerebral high. If you wait till ~70% coloring, you harvest stoney, buds. Cut the leaves sticking from the tops. Take your time drying the buds. In a dark place and hanging upside down. Humidity level be low, and temperature not over 77F / 25C. This should take 1-2 weeks. Eager-beavers put a couple of buds in a dehydrator of course, never mind no aroma. Talk to your plants, they seem to like that. Anonymous... |
