Organic method for cannabis seeds
An organic method of bug control is using soap suds. Put Ivory flakes in some lukewarm water and work up the suds into a lather. Then put the suds over the plant. The obvious disadvantage is it you don't rinse the soap off the plant you'll taste the soap when you smoke the leaves or the cannabis seeds. Pruning We have found that pruning is not always necessary. The reason one does it in the first place is to encourage secondary growth and to allow light to reach the immature leaves. Some strands of grass just naturally grow thick and bushy and if they are not clipped the sap moves in an uninterrupted flow right to the top of the plant where it produces flowers that are thick with resin.

fairly diluted fertilizer solution
Start with a fairly diluted fertilizer solution and gradually increase the dosage. There are several good marijuana fertilizers on the commercial market, two of which are Rapid-Gro and Eco-Grow. Rapid-Gro has had widespread use in marijuana cultivation and is available in most parts of the United States. Eco-Grow is also especially good for marijuana since it contains an ingredient that keeps the soil from becoming acid. Most fertilizers cause a ph change in the soil. Adding fertilizer to the soil almost always results in a more acidic ph.As time goes on, the amount of salts produced by the breakdown of fertilizers in the soil for the white widowcauses the soil to become increasingly acidic and eventually the concentration of these salts in the soil will stunt the plant and cause browning out of the foliage.

White widow feminized
Sexing is probably the most important part of flowering. To tell the sex of your plants is not a hard task but maybe a little confusing. After you have switched to 12/12 your plants will begin to show sex. This can take from 1 week to 3 weeks. To determine the sex of a plant, use a magnifying glass and carefully look at the nodes of the plant. A female will show a caylax with two white pistils coming out of it. (these pistils just look like hairs but thicker) A white widow feminized plant will begin to show small balls that hang from the internodes. Throw the males out and continue 12/12 with the female plants.

When you've exhausted
When you've exhausted the can into the pipe, back off to a nice distance and let it do its thing.The butane moves down the pipe, extracting the cannabis as it goes. When it gets to the bottom (~30 seconds after dispensing), it begins to drain into the receiving vessel. Notice the pale, glowing yellow-green-gold hue of the extract. It is obvious no chlorophyll was pulled out of the herb.
Over approximately five to eight minutes, the butane extract will finish draining from the pipe to the receiving semillas marihuana. Maintain caution with the pipe, however, since there is a lot of residual butane still evaporating from within the pipe (notice the stream of fumes coming from the top hole).

fluorescent tubes
New fitting are about twice the maximum cost of second hand unit. Only one double fitting can grow many plants until they about 2 weeks old. As they grow taller the light is too dim at the sides and bottom of plant, more tubes will be needed to light these parts of the plant. The light from fluoro's needs to be very close to the foliage about 10cm. max., heat may cause burning or curling of the leaves if there touching the tube. If there are 6 large plants they will need 10 or 12 of 36 watt fluorescent tubes for my cannabis seeds.

cannabis on rockwool
The pH of the nutrient solution should be checked regularly with a pH meter. pH too high: lower it with Nitric acid (during the growth period) Phosphoric acid (during the flowering period) pH too low: increase it with an alkaline solution (during the whole period) Take care with these acids because they are corrosive for your big bud feminized. The pH of a nutrient solution for growing your "favourite plant" should be between 5 and 7. Because rockwool is made from rock and rocks can be very alkaline, rockwool can also be very alkaline itself. This results in an immediate rise of the pH value of the nutrient solution as soon as it comes in contact with the rockwool.

THC: when is it ready?
What happens if you leave them too long?If we didn’t pick at that point, we would go past peak, the mushroom head would explode, and at the end of the process, we would have too high a percentage of overripe glands. The THC would have converted itself into other cannabinoids, such as CBN and cannabidiol (CBD). Trichomes basically just shrink and evaporate. All your terpinoids evaporate, and your drug evaporates also (cannabis seeds). Sometimes they just fall off. So you don’t want to go past peak, and you don’t want to go early.
