Twisting Leaves Using Triple F Hydrotops

White Pearl is a hardy feminised strain that geminates well indoors. All 10 seeds hatched. The seedlings raced in height from the start. Some showed longer nodes than others. The overall structure of White Pearl (in veg) was tall and slim for a White strain. As WP matured she was super-cropped by twisting the branches, and removing the tops to control height. The removed tops were cloned. WP is feminised, so plants were placed into large pots early on - giving them a good start. WP developed a...

Mother Clone Room Design

Oxygen content Nutrients 20 Composition Purity Growing Medium 20 Air content Moisture content The most productive setups utilize two rooms. The first room is for vegetative growth, mother plants, and rooting clones. This room should be about one-quarter the size of the flowering room. When the flowering room crop is harvested, plants from the vegetative room are moved into the flowering room. Super productivity is achieved with a perpetual crop. Several clones are taken every day or every week....

Experimenting with cold temperatures

Icy cold nights are no longer the exception, since for some time now it has been winter. The temperature during the hours of darkness has fallen. Gardens are being upgraded with extra lamps and heaters are being hauled out of storage so as to make sure the tropical climate in grow spaces can be maintained. Because the green herb, as many of us know, is primally powerful and grows and blooms without any problem and without any major intervention from humans, even when the cooler nights begin to...

Purple Haze

He told us to sow them in pots of warm and moist compost inside in spring. Then take them outside as the big leaf started to break-out from the tops of the plants. At this point the plants were green. The 2 surviving plants grew tall quickly and needed to go into bigger pots. The stems were a split-colour red purple and green with thick ridges at thejoints all the way up. When they were dropped into larger containers of compost, the roots looked thick and...

Three Vegetative Growth

The roots in this potbound plant form a mass around the interior and bottom of the container. Roots that grow out drainage holes are pruned when they come into contact with air. This plant needs repotting. To remove large plants from containers, use a knife or blade to separate roots from the inside of the container. Move the blade up and down all the way around the inside of the container to break roots away. Remove the root ball from the container. Jorge Cervantes is the author of the ALL NEW...

Power growing with 28000 watts

In his series of interviews with foreign growers Bart B. talks this time with the Canadian grower Kootenay. He began growing commercially around ten years ago, back when thanks to an explosion in indoor growing the Canadian city of Vancouver was nicknamed 'Vansterdam'. Having started out just growing a couple of plants outdoors, but after a year of indoor growing Kootenay developed a passion for the cannabis plant. From that point on I just could not get enough information to cram into my brain...

Frankenstein science

A number of years ago I was working on a cannabis project. By this I mean that my colleague and I ran about the UK asking people about their dope use. We spoke to hundreds of people who had been using weed for at least a decade, and there were very few of them who could imagine life without dope, and therefore couldn't ever imagine giving it up. The majority of them (in fact, almost all of them) had used a whole range of other drugs at one time or another over the course of their lives, but...

Seed Dormancy

Seed dormancy is a naturally occurring 'survival factor' found within many species of plant. Under 'natural conditions' the dormancy of cannabis seed is quite normal. The over-wintering of seed is then a naturally occurring phenomenon. That is, when under dormancy (even where perfect germination conditions exist) a seed will NOT germinate Under artificial conditions cultivated plants tend to display lower levels of dormancy. The seed of cultivated plants, especially those used for food, have an...

Create your own hybrid weed

Every new variety has its own characteristics. Every variety of marihuana produces its own specific leaves that identify themselves by differences in size, appearance and colour. This was one of my very best hybrids ever. This female plant had already begun in the third week of August to bloom and produced (due to this) an outdoor weed of staggering quality. This was one of my very best hybrids ever. This female plant had already begun in the third week of August to bloom and produced (due to...

Aardvark Toppensneller

As many old-timers will testify, back in 'the day' trimming was above all a happy activity, one in which groups of family and friends would relax in a festive atmosphere while preparing the freshly gathered harvest for drying. A little music, a joint or two, just shooting the breeze But since the stakes of the game were raised - I'm talking about the steady increase in scale of growing operations and the increased detection efforts of the upholders of the law - this bucolic picture has slowly...

Growing for Dummies Part

Readers who have already got their hands on the previous issue may already have read what I consider to be the essentials you need to begin growing cannabis. The first step towards setting to work growing is therefore getting your hands on these essentials. Take your time in looking around, compare prices at various shops on a range of products, composts, seeds, lamps, and suchlike, before slapping down your wad. Each in its own time, and make the right choice for yourself. A respectable grow...

Master Kush Buds

On the 70th day we harvested the rest of the Blueberries, their buds had really developed so we were glad that we left them to flower for the additional week. The plants consisted of lots of branches and medium sized buds. They looked beautiful with purple tints coming though on the most of the plants. The one plant that was totally purple throughout flowering was bright pink when you prized open a fresh bud. Some smelt more fruity or sweet then others, 4 5 out of the 7 smelt exceptionally...

Growing in the closet

This time around, there'll be 110 mention of monster patches or warehouses full of plants, but just a single allotted cupboard in which, with difficulty (thanks to the restricted space), maybe ten plants can be raised to maturity. That this form of growing really is no longer the sole preserve of the beginner is not especially well known among growers. Most of us opt by preference for one huge space in which all plants can be raised together simultaneously, and which later can be set to bloom...
