i have a question ive been thinking about this for a while. if i save of stems and have my freinds save their stems and mix in he soil of my plants will if be a good source of nutrients? i dunno the idea in my head sounds pretty good but when i try to write it down it doesnt sound as good well tell me what you guys think. thanks alot -Mr Fancy Pants
When making compost with stems or any other organic material let it break down completely first before mixing it with your soil. Dont just stick stems in your soil as they will rot possible giving your roots problems. The basic idea of using stems as part of your compost mixture sounds reasonable. Sorry if you new this already dont want to sound condisending.
lol i knew that dont be sorry. think if i didnt know about that you could have saved my plants lol. "think on the positive side of things" i have alot of experience with growing other plants just not weed. my grandpa is a botnist and ive worked with him for the past 5 years so i know the basics of growing most plants.
Sure your knowledge of other plants will give you an excellent start.. Like you say a lot of plants follow the same rules. Give them plenty of the right sort of light (same as all plants) keep temp around 78f and relative humidity around 50%. I'm Sure as a very basic rule if you treated them similar to tomato plants you wouldn't go far wrong. Though I'll probably get linched for saying that. Weed plants are light lovers the more the better obviously the more light you give them the more co2 , and nutrients they will need. With weed sometimes there is a tendency to overcomplacate things. I'd say most growing problems are caused by excess i.e overfertilising excesive heat, overwatering etc. They grew for who knows how many years without our help. Its 1.00 am and I'm starting to ramble. Good luck with your Botany.
exactly it is called weed for a reason because it will grow like a weed.(you probably wont get very potant stuff by growing it like a weed) but the biggest mistake is they pay too much attenion to their plants. sometimes somethings are best left untouched. i mean yes you do need to water you plants and what not but like i said before its called weed for a reason
i never said it was a weed i said they call it weed for a reason becuase it grows pretty easily. im sorry maybe im not that great at stating what im thinking. i basically ment that its pretty much called weed because it grows pretty easy. it grows wild in indiana and alot of other places. im sorry if i wasnt clear before
Sorry I went off on ya, I just get annoyed when people call it A weed, instead of weed. Btw, marijuana does not "grow pretty easy". It doesn't grow wild in Indiana or anywhere else. What you are referring to is hemp, a cousin of marijuana.
i see lol. i should probably do my own research before opening my mouth like i know it all lol. i was just repeating what i was told and since the people that told me lived in indiana for most of their lifes i thought it was true lol. sorry my mistake
Wait a minute! Hemp is not the cousin of MJ, hemp basically is MJ. The only difference is that MJ is strictly females left un-pollenized. That's the only difference. Take that wild growing hemp, pick out the females and let them grow on their own without geting pollenized and you'll have yourself some pot. Maybe not the best strain but pot never the less.
Yeah, you may just have to repeat that cycle of not pollinating about a thousand times until you get decent pot haha
