I would easily choose growing. I mean, I love the product, but I’ve been high enough to get my high, high. I haven’t hit that point yet with growing, and I don’t know if such a peak exists.

When looking at your soil check the back of the bag and be aware of what it is made of. “Good soil” should contain a base of either coco coir or peat(or a combination of the two), something for aeration like perlite or pumice or rice hulls or even vermiculite, and lastly look at the sources of organic matter which should make up the last 1/3 of the mix. The organic matter can be all kinds of things from worm castings, compost, various other amendments that brings in the NPK and micronutrients, as well as microorganisms into the mix. Biochar would be a great bonus as well.
If you are using synthetic nutrients consider using just Coco-coir with pumice(or perlite,rice hulls, vermiculite ) and a microbial inoculant

I’d love to hear if you have any luck and if so what you do.
I have some old seeds I inherited from a loved one that passed, also not stored under ideal conditions, and have yet to get anything to pop.
Hope you have some luck!

What a great question. I would imagine it to be possible but I highly doubt you would get male only seeds. The male determines the sex of its offspring by either passing an Xor Y chromosome during pollination. <div>
<div>
Female =XX, therefore no chance of making male seeds. Even though a part of the plant may produce pollen, the plant itself genetically lacks a y chromosome to pass on, thus feminized seeds.
Male=XY, so even if you herm the plant there is still a chance of passing the Y chromosome to the seed, making more male seeds.

Until they root they aren’t plants. Cut clones, pick the best looking ones that root, then
kill the moms, kill the rest of the clones, plant count remains the same in the end.

I would be wary of having a flame supplying CO2 in my house but that’s just me. You might be be better off exchanging the air in the room regularly or getting some mushroom bags. And honestly, unless you are running at a really high PPFD you probably don’t even need to supplement.

It’s worth noting here that amber Trichomes are less THC and more CBD, CBN. While it might not be what you are after, they certainly have value.
I would say it’s completely subjective to the combination of cannabinoids you are aiming for.

Every plant senescence is different. I’ve had several cultivars that just faded to light green and yellow. It’s easy to misjudge this as a deficiency especially when you see so many pictures of plants turning shades of pink, purple, red, orange and so on. I’d say ease up on watering and cut the calmag like as mentioned above

Oddly enough I just listened to a video from Harley Smith on propagation… and in it he address accelerating root growth. Apparently a foliar spray of 5 parts humic acid and 2 parts kelp extract with a little wetting agent causes exponential root growth. Can be used as a root drench as well. Thought it was worth sharing given the timing of this thread.
He was speaking more in terms of germination and cloning but I don’t see how it wouldn’t be a worth while practice as part of a transplant regimen. Definitely going to try it myself.

Would breaking up the root ball help at all? That might encourage them to spread out in the new space and maintain the proper moisture in the root zone, since it’s not a compact ball of roots and hard to moisten substrate.

They make a granulated version of the pucks. Top dress it and say good bye to those rat bastards. I’ve gone so far as mixing it into bags of compost and will even sprinkle some into my worm bin from time to time, as well as my harvested castings. Super easy, pretty cheap.

The Marijuana Mitten is full of growers, I’m also curious how many Michiganders we’ve got here. I’m West of Grand Rapids close to the coast.

I’m wondering if this could also be over watering? If your roots can’t breathe they can’t process nutrients properly. <div>
Assuming you are in new soil, and using the dots and recharge properly I would be hesitant to assume a PH (microbes should be regulating this in the rhizosphere) or nutrient deficiency. Not saying your PH doesn’t matter but these plants can operate in wide range of soil/water PH with out major issues.
What was the ratio of worm castings to soil? In my experience castings are great at retaining water. If the mix was heavy handed with castings I could see the soil being easy to over water, with a reduced capacity to hold the proper amount of air.
Also, what is your environment like?
Hope your girls bounce back soon.

Ah, my bad, I just assumed they had been in plastic pots previously.
