So here we go . Pics coming as soon as i get home. Im doing two plants per pot . Not potting up and feeding full strength nutrients right from the start ! Im not going to ph the water its about 7.7 I will FIM AUTOS . I will do anything they say not to do to bust the myth . If you can think of anything that should not be done to autos let me know i will do it . Pot size 20 gallon . Light for veg 30 dollar ebay light running 100 percent about 3 foot away . I will measure the lumens as well . I will switch lights up to a 200 watt vipar spectra for the flowering phase . I will post the nutrients i am using . There made for house plants not cannabis . I will keep the pics coming . Follow this if your interested .
20 usgal pot you could put 5 autos as I use 1 auto to 10 liters, autos you need not feed if you got good soils, I'd spend better time growing my style than playing screw games with myth and broscience, but thats me good luck
At some point you should try sowing seeds outdoors in the ground or a raised bed in the spring, full sun. Cloning autos might be fun as well, you can get them to root and grow, but the clones are on the same biological timer as the mother so they won't grow to be full size unless they are produced through tissue culture.
Yeah your right about cloning . If somebody is reading this to learn. Yes you can clone a auto but then you will have two smaller plants instead of just one larger . Or you fim it to make a clone .Issue is that cloned plant will start flowering the same time as the mother doner plant . It wont make any yield . I need to graft . Next grow i will graft a cannabis plant to a cbd plant . Both will be photo . That will be fun to get it tested
Grafting is something I need to learn as well, more so for the fruit trees and vines I'm growing. I'm thinking in your scenario, grafting a THC to a CBD plant, the branch would produce THC buds and not carry over many traits from the hemp, though in fruit trees the rootstock affects tree height, yield, and disease resistance, so it'd be interesting to see. What's also interesting, is that if you micropropagate the graft union, you can end up with a hybrid of the two strains. This also applies to different species that can be grafted together, like cannabis and hops, though in that case the hybrids are typically useless.
a typical grafting sequence is grafting a female stem to a male scion, the problem you need both in veg for the trick to work re vegging won't count don't forget weed is a perennial a yearly plant sure taking one cut of one strain will graft to another female with ease as many have found but is just a novelty at this stage
I have read somewhere . You can graft cannabis but you need to keep the plant alive for a few years before it changes . My experience was in the bulking as mush as possible in the shortest amount of time so trying new things is fun
back in the 90's it was novel to give a buddy a present with many different strains attached, the good news today is many still buy in femmed seeds meaning you know both plants are female, thats a good start unlike us regular seed growers here a tut: https://www.growingmarijuanatips.com/grafting-marijuana/ or better: How To Graft Cannabis And Grow Multiple Strains On 1 Plant - RQS Blog cheers
Vee, to many a grafted plant may be a novelty. For me a multiple strain grafted mother is my genetic bank. 3 strains grafted Bonsai Mom this one plant provides cuttings for my grows. After more than 35 years of growing I look at the process somewhat differently than other successful growers.
Recycled soil used at least three times and those clay balls instead of perlite . I would say clay ballas are a very pore choice for perlite . This grow will be doing everything incorrect lol to see how it comes out . I will even water it with black coffee next watering .
Yeah look @ that both same direction everything . Just like it would be if a person with a bit of ocd planted them
New pic coming . So i switched to a t8 led bulb. I just do not care for how the qb boards veg . I always see small issues in the the leaves . Not my best grow for sure. Such unhappy plants . Funny i can set up and grow monster amounts of plants in warehouses and have some of the most sexy plants. Just a few plants i clearly see issues .Well im not phing ph is 7.4 currently . No co2 No calmag . Zero care . just 62f soil is prob about 60f max I like my house cold I cant post pics and ask for help ! lol .
sorry to say expectations are low . These seeds must be duds . Plants are really lagging . Slowest i have seen . Pics soon as i get home . But you never know they could surprise us. Next watering will be with coffee .
unhappy plants . Look @ that nasty stuff on the leaf. This time im not sure . I have to guess a virus fungi. Rub it with my fingers nothing comes off . It is not discolored on the bottom of the leaf not molds zero bugs. tobacco leaf virus odds are 80 percent . Reused soil so many times and soil was moved carelessly laying around . Its possible my cigar hands brushed off on them. https://dutch-passion.com/en/blog/a-visual-guide-to-cannabis-pests-and-diseases-n1073 Plants could be more then double in size with a better lighting That is ash in the soil if anybody was wondering incents . Next watering tomorrow coffee. I will just use coffee for now on unless i see issues. It will interesting .
