    List of LP's in Canada for MMPR and Reviews by Patiants

    You mean...the numbers may vary "a lot". The 18.2 % reported on my med bottle must be false. I'm not as high as reviewers and others say I should be from this. I usually get stoned...shouln't I get high easily seing I'm not used to it? I highly doubt the numbers reported are factual. Or the...

    Wow sir...that's fucking sad to hear. I usually choose a place and order the same week. If I cannot...they do not need my business.

    Hey tokers...been a while. I wanted to share my LP/dispensary/home PPL efforts and testing with you. "Please insert a person turning green and dumping on an LP here". 2014= was Tweed, average to just above average meds. Not skunky but was sticky and a little overdried for the half dozen strains...

    How to make my plant short instead of long.

    When I began, the research indicated that "auto" type plant have stricter genetics. I stick with Feminized and clone till I want change. You stumbled on just one problem autos have. Their time-line or cycle does not leave much room for error. And we green growers make errors.

    When I have an issue with a twig not rooting. If the end shrunk to nothing something stopped or slowed the stem's intake of water or oxygen. Otherwise...Where the stem meets to soil should actually get thicker. After one week with no issues It's the first indication that it is turning into a...

    Bang on! The basic principles won't change. (Seal the wound and keep moist. The rest may be adjusted).

    So far I've tested twigs in rockwhool, peat pucks and 3" tall with trimmed leaves. This month it's testing dirrectly in soil with a dome. Next, maybe I'll do full leaves and trim. So many experiments and peace...So little time. Haha

    Yes...Maybe the combo is too strong. A light too close will dry more of the edges whereas nutes usually burns in spots more in the center of leaves on mine.

    Yes. Both will work. Some leave the leafs whole but trim all but the last few nodes. Others trim all or near all of the leaves "nearly in half". Test all methods and stick with what works for you. So many ways to get that result.

    Okay. I would agree to cut near half of each leaf. Better air flow, it may give a quicker response to signal roots and cause less weight on the sagging tops.

    Good work. If it's feasible, change to LEDs. Better heat range that won't kill herbs unless the lights are too close. With a better heat range you also get to not spend on extra fans, better humidity and less to zero mold and mildew. The temp in my budding box is 18-24 degrees Celsius. The...

    If these do not perk up in a day, recut them and start over or they may shock for too long wasting time. They usually develop other issues later on if not corrected post haste. (Herbs that top themselves, etc... *Personally...I would recut and regel them NOW to avoid loss of time.

    125w is suitable for one to two "vegging" herbs. I have a 39w on 11 twiggs till they get roots. My vegging herbs are under 4'x2' 200watts of LED tubes. The budding herbs get a 300w per 2 of them. Vegging lights are 2" from herbs. 300w LEDs are never more than 1 foot. Not super dense but a nice...

    If you know that you have to put liquid on the exposed end when cut...that exposed end will remain exposed till it heals and develops roots. If you remove the water/gel it goes back to looking for that liquid...Right? So keep those in a container, with water in the base and mist a dome on them...

    More water, low light and a "fan" of gel on any open cuts will replace the sitting in water thing. Rock wool works great but dries quicker. I just started a test to clone dirrectly into soil to see if I can beat that three week barrier. "6 inches tall, trimmed, individually and domed. After...
