It's even more pronounced in edibles. I've learned to harvest late and a 60-day minimum cure puts the "Mellow" back in my cannabis. Most of what's sold nowadays is pushed out the door as fast as they can to get the next crop in. It's all about the $$$ now. Back in the day the Mexican dirt weed...
I've always considered 14.5 as the trigger point for 95% of photoperiods. They veg at 15 and flower at 14. I'm at latitude 33 and in working practice only June and July have long enough days to hold cannabis in veg.
You can start seeds a month sooner as they are not light aware for the first 30...
Most all of us started with some degree of grower's black thumb and mine was blacker then most and I seemed to excel at killing plants more than actually growing them at first. Ask most anything you want / need. Welcome aboard.
Current set of off-season plants under 24-0. I've run 24-0 for well over 10 years. Hundreds of plants if I had to count.
The best clones will come from veg stage plants. Every day further in flower from the flip means less rooting hormone present in the plant and a lower chance it will strike...
Feminized seeds are more likely to self-pollenate then standard seed and kicking out 5 or 10 seeds is not unusual and in fact can save a strain if the clone fails. A few seeds are quite OK. More than a few is where you have issues and think about tossing that strain. 5 seeds is OK 50 and up...
I've used old school 4 foot T5 high output for years to veg. Also known as high bay lights. If you need the Heat, you can still find the old school T5HO in standard florescent. LED will save some coin and run much cooler.. I was running veg in an old garden shed and the heat was welcome in the...
Start now. Veg until March 15th. Flip that set and take clones from them that day. They'll be ready to Harvest June 1st and the ones you cloned / started in March can be set out for summer.
August 1st = Take Clones / plant seeds
Oct 15th = Harvest, Set out veg plants in just harvested Holes, Take clones off the plants you just installed.
Jan 1st = Same
March 15th = Same
June 1st = Harvest, set out veg plants for summer.
You'll have 4 in flower and 4 in veg running concurrently on...
Grind to flour grade dust and leave it in. You're actually only eating a pinky fingernail worth for a 30mg hit. It is not all that much actual plant material.
Any of the forms of Lecithin seems to work for encapsulation but some are easier to work with. Power can clump, granules need to be...
Glass door thermostat-controlled Toaster oven, Standalone oven thermometer. Palm sized stainless steel cat food dish.
Decarb pea sized buds 240 F for 40 minutes uncovered in a metal pie tin.
Grind to flour grade dust
5 grams bud dust or Hash
1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
1 teaspoon fearn liquid...
Dry decarbed bud dust or Hash = 4 of a possible 10
Decarbed and infused to an oil = 6 of 10
Decarbed, infused and lecithin encapsulated = 10 of 10
It'll work fine. I've met several people who do dry bud dust capsules.
