If this is truly your first grow, put VPD on the back burner. Focus on the mechanics of your system, and whether they are functional or not.

Nah man, that’s why it’s a discussion!<div>
I’m just more or less curious about what pit falls might lie with in this kind of product. I have no idea if one need worry or not. Also super curious how it works, just don’t have the knowledge myself to understand why and how it works, let alone whether it would be safe to be around a smokable product.
Consider me paranoid, but my paranoia is a huge factor in why I grow. I don’t put anything on or in my plants that I don’t have at least a basic understanding of. Wasn’t trying to put you on defense, just hoping someone more knowledgeable might chime in with a better understanding.
Either way I will probably grab a couple for our cottage in Northern Michigan. Da bugs up der are on another level 🤣

Something about this has me feeling uneasy. It appears to slowly evaporate a chemical that kills insects, but on the package states it should not be in areas where food is prepared or served, or in areas occupied by humans for more than 4 hrs at a time.
Would love to hear some one with a better understanding of how this kind of thing works. Is there a chance of residue buildup on the plant? Needless to say I am skeptical if this is safe to have around a plant that will be smoked or consumed in anyway.

Sunny for the win.
Just had this issue with 28 seedlings I popped in the AC Infinity propagation unit. Definitely didn’t have the lights dialed up enough and had to do something so I transferred all of them to solo cups and buried them up to half an inch below the dicots. Every single one made it.

Definitely depends on whether you are running Autos or Photoperiod seeds.
I personally like to up pot. Start in a small container, Solo cups are great. Then to a 1 gal, and my final pots for flower are 20 gallon pots. I go from the 1 gal to the 20 gals with great success.
A big part of this is going to be experimenting with different methods and figuring out what works for you and your grow. There’s no reason you can’t start in a large pot and never transplant, though the biggest issue there is going to be watering correctly for the stage of growth the plant is in .

Respect @jmystro . It makes your contributions worth all the more in my book. I remember how it feels to be seen as a criminal for something so innocent. My roots are in the legacy days and I am thankful I live where I don’t really even worry about running a carbon filter.

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.
