top cannabis gardeners

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Most gardeners are able to win the fight against humidity without resorting to a power-sucking electric dehumidifier. A dehumidifier is something like an air conditioner in operation. Simply plug it in, set the maximum humidity level desired on the humidistat, and the machine will come on and dry the air when the humidity exceeds a set range. Very simple and in-expensive to purchase but expensive to operate if needed full-time feminized cannabis seeds. However, they work fairly quickly, and are usually on only a few minutes per hour. Even so, there are a number of techniques that can be used to lower the humidity before resorting to a dehumidifier. Increase the frequency and/or duration of the ventilation cycles and the size of the exhaust and/or intake fans.

Cannabis genetic progression

Monday, January 7th, 2008

There is no genetic progression. Since no breeding is taking place, the genetic line remains static. There are no surprises and no new finds. Using clones, there is no way of genetically adapting a line to a particular environment. Cuttings are taken from soft green tissue because the drier, woody sections of the plant do not root as easily. Sections taken are 2-5 inches long with several sets of leaves. The cut is made with a very sharp blade which makes a clean, straight cut, rather than a scissor which pinches and injures the tissue. As the cuttings are made they are placed in a bowl filled with lukewarm water to prevent them from drying out just like the marijuana seeds. Once all the cuttings are taken, they are trimmed of their lower leaves, leaving only one or two sets plus the growing tip.
