    Peppermint Kush

    I hope they gave you a good smoke. I have a couple of peppermint kush seeds from years ago but don't know if they will pop or not. I may have to buy some fresh peppermint kush seeds and grow them. I'm wondering how minty the flavour is or whether they are just a bit minty with some phenos

    any reasons why my plants not growing at the same rate as my other plant?

    I agree on the re-veg thing. The upper single leaves thing is a major giveaway. Longest day (summer solstice) is on the 20th of June this year, and then the days will start getting shorter. It should start flowering some time in August. By then it should be looking much more like a normal plant

    Who has best blueberry strain? Not DJ Short's version.

    The cannabis seed world does seem a bit ephemeral. It's a shame that certain phenotypes and flavours can't be kept forever. Even a good clone can change over time as it's re-cloned over and over. I guess we have to make the most of what we have available at any given time. Saying that...

    Who has best blueberry strain? Not DJ Short's version.

    Damn, they want $240 for 10 seeds. Seems like a proper scam. I mean yeah you might get good genetics, but anyone charging that much for 10 seeds is definitely scamming people. It's a real shame. If they were charging a reasonable price, I would likely buy them because I do love blueberry ever...

    Experimenting with breeding.

    If it were me I'd do it (I only grow for myself for something to smoke). Seeds are seeds, and I'd just label them up as 'from hermie pollen' if you were thinking about doing some serious breeding in the future.

    Auto starting to flower and it’s so small

    You win some and you lose some. Wait and see what happens. It might stretch and be fine. It's not late in the season here in the England. July is when you plant outdoors here. With auto's you can start in may though (may 15th when there will be no more frosts). I would just stick them in a...

    Craziest leaves and growth on plant

    Maybe you got a bit of ducksfoot genetics in whatever strain it is. Welcome to posting on the forum. I like freak/mutant plants/unusual plants. Ducksfoot can be a slow grower and have a long flowering period. Nomad seeds have a few mutant strains like ducksfoot, ABC (Australian Bastard...

    What’s causing this!!!!!!

    Personally I wouldn't remove leaves. But I sometimes tuck leaves out of the way to get more light to the growing tops and nodes. The leaves store energy and nutrients for flowering

    Why aren't they praying? please advice.. help

    I'm pretty sure prophet means an aerated compost tea. I've never used it myself but it is claimed to work wonders. Have a read up on it, it is meant to be really good.

    What's eating my Frisian Dew?

    Yeah I think you're right about it being thrips damage with the white bits. Maybe it was some sort of small beetle nibbling at the leaves. It doesn't look like caterpillar damage or snail or slug damage. I hope someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in and narrow down the culprit. Frisian...

    What's eating my Frisian Dew?

    On the first photo, the leaf on the bottom left area. Are those tiny white things on that leaf eggs of some kind?

    starting my first grow this morning, wish me luck guys :)

    You don't need luck, just need to not overwater the fcker or overfeed the fcker. What you get is what you get. And in future you can build on that. Go easy on the nutrients. Good luck and god speed.

    "stickyness" disappearing

    My grows, however they happen they happen. I'm not a good grower but my smoke is normally alright. All I care about is that I have something to smoke. I really don't do the most efficient growing method at all and my growing method is probably the laziest way possible. But I get some smoke out...

    Crusader's fig

    From what I understand, Fig needs to grow up against a wall to grow strong. Same with Kiwi. I bought a fig sapling for my mother and father years ago and although it does grow figs, the figs don't seem to mature properly and drop off and die. It is of course in a pot which is far from ideal. I...

    Can I use unrefined Dark Muscovado cane sugar instead of molasses?

    Yeah you might as well. I don't know how long you have left of flowering as different strains vary a lot in their amount of weeks flowering, but I'm guessing you have at least 3 weeks left if not more. I wouldn't use any more than a tablespoon to a gallon of water (obviously scale that down for...

    Can I use unrefined Dark Muscovado cane sugar instead of molasses?

    I every now and then use blackstrap molasses (it's called black treacle here in the UK) during flowering but I wouldn't use it to do a flush. I only use it to feed the microherd in the soil, and I use a terra preta style soil which I reuse over and over (I've been using the same soil for a few...

    Made seeds non auto or feminized, all beans popped came out female

    Well breeders usually tend to avoid using females that have tendencies to hermie in breeding, but there are of course plenty of strains that contain genetics from plants that often hermie. Personally hermies don't bother me as I'll get fem seeds from it and I only grow for some smoke for myself...

    Made seeds non auto or feminized, all beans popped came out female

    Ah that might explain why a 'feminised' seed that I grew of barney's farm peppermint kush some years back was male when it flowered (I was rather disappointed lol). I guess it would make sense from a plant species survival point of view to have a very small percentage of the seeds from...

    Accidental cloning

    If it has rooted and the days are long where you are, it will be re-vegging. If you need the pot for another grow, maybe transplant the cutting into a smaller pot. I say let it grow : )

    Is that normal?

    It is a typical female calyx lol. You will know a hermie if a segmented ball type thing appears that opens up like a bunch of tiny bananas. Those calyx's are what contain a seed later on if they get pollenated. A bud is made up of many calyx's
