How to Grow Different Cannabis Strains Together 🌳🌳💖☮💖🌲🌲 |
|
|
Introduction: Growing Multiple Cannabis Strains Together Many indoor cannabis growers want to grow multiple strains together so that they have a greater variety of bud to choose from after harvest. Additionally, maximizing your grow space by growing many plants can increase overall marijuana yields. Grow multiple different strains at once if you
want more variety after harvest However, some strains are hard to grow together. They may run into problems related to height, nutrients, or harvest times. But when done right, you will be rewarded with a sea of buds from different strains every harvest. Learn how today!
Cover Crops & Companion Plants for Growing Weed: Good or Bad Idea? |
|
|
Cover crops are used to help keep soil healthy. What Are Cover Crops or Companion Plants?
Have you ever heard of the term “cover crops” or “companion plants”? Basically this is a plant that you keep alongside your main plant, and it provides benefits in a symbiotic way.
For example, some cover crops such as clovers have the ability to “fix” Nitrogen out of the
air. They are actually able to pull Nitrogen out of the air to use within the plant. As you may know, Nitrogen is one of the most important plant nutrients because it is directly related to a plant’s ability to produce new green plant matter. Without Nitrogen, plants turn yellow and stop growing. Example of Cannabis Plants in Pots Grown with Companion Plants |
Amazing picture by Joe “Nunya” Biz who uses a purely organic, no-till method of growing Since clovers pull Nitrogen from the air, when the clovers die this extra Nitrogen can slowly leach into the soil for your main plant. The idea is you don’t have to fertilize as often because the clovers will naturally provide some of the Nitrogen for you.
Therefore cover crops like clovers have proven to be helpful for... Keep Reading to Learn Whether Cover Crops Are Right for You! P.S. Reply to this email and let us know what you think about cover crops, and any experiences you've had with

The top of the plant has buds forming, but one branch has pollen sacs Question: This cannabis plant is growing both male and female parts/flowers. Is it a hermie? What do I do? Can I pluck the balls and grow her to harvest? These two pictures come from a single plant that’s been in the flowering stage for about 2.5
weeks. She is showing beautiful white hairs / pistils up top. However, on a single 10″ branch, I can see little ball formations (shown in the second plant). They look like male pollen sacs. Could this mean my plant’s a hermaphrodite? This is my first grow in a grow tent. The plant is under a 600w MH grow light. The growing medium is soil (Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil) and my nutrients are the Fox Farms Nutrient Trio for soil. The balls are only growing on one
branch. If she is a hermi, is there a way to amputate the bad branch to protect the rest of the plant? Also, will she continue forming buds or is it a male plant at this point? Also, this plant is being grown in a grow tent with another female. Should I keep this one around or butcher it now to prevent from pollinating the other (apparently healthy) female plant? ~Cannabis Grower Find out the answer! |

"Thank you sooooo much my favorite weed gods😎😁" ~Craig I'm really glad you wrote in to call us weed gods. Now I'm totally justified in purchasing a crown and a cape that says "Weed God" on it. ~Sirius |
In response to my question last week about how you all feel about organic growing... "Hello GWE, I have grown organic, coco & hydro and preferred growing organic the most. I got more in touch with the plants and read them
properly. I also prefer to be more environmental, so sticking with organic." ~Mark I'm glad to hear organic is working well for you. There is definitely something that feels special about feeding the plants the way they would do it in the wild.
~Sirius "Growing in organic super soil sucks! I had 5 plants in super soil and it wrecked 3 of them burning the plants at about 1 1/2 months into the grow! I mixed the soil properly and tried not to give it too much water. At the end of the grow i ended up nuteing them with everything else! I guess the organic grows are to be left outside! Never try that 1 again! hee hee....hey
thanxs for all your great info! happy growing n peace out~" ~Carol Although I like organic growing, like you, I prefer to use nutrients due to the amount of control it gives you over the grow. I think this response and the last one show that the
organic vs. non-organic thing tends to boil down to personal preference. ~Sirius

"Firstly, thanks you for all the fantastic advice, we literally could not have gotten such good results without your excellent articles.
On the subject of organic growing, we have been using living soil for autos with our auto grows a few times now and the results have been excellent. We would love an article from you regarding the best methods for watering, pruning and topping autos with organic soil.
I have attached a couple of
pics from our latest grow of gorilla glue #4 from seed supreme. This plant weighed in at 3.2 ozs. We are using two HLG 600 recspec lights in an 8x8 space.
As far as sees supreme goes, they have been an excellent source. BUT, I was scammed after the transaction. Received a text supposedly from the post office asking for me postage to deliver the package. I fell for it once and my card was
hacked. Beware!!!
Thanks again for your help, greatly appreciated!"
~Dean Your plants look great, but man I'm sorry to hear about the scam. Unfortunately, the fake post office scam is extremely common since many people expect packages somewhat regularly. In fact, we both get this type of scam text on a regular basis even if we don't order anything from anywhere. Remember everyone, be VERY hesitant whenever anyone asks you for information or money via text. Legit businesses (like Seed Supreme, or USPS) don't need to contact you via text for payment. Treat any phone-based requests for money as a scam until proven otherwise. ~Sirius |
"Stardawg - Day 40"
~Steve I know it's just a coincidence, but I really need a haircut and I feel like this plant knows and is making fun of me. 💈💇♂️ (Well done, btw)
~Sirius "Hi,
Just wondering can u tell me what u think about this plant. Its a small bushy plant but with strange flowers. Idk is it a male, hermie, or a girl. Seeds were found in some flower so idk anything about genetics.
Its about 40 cm high and in 4-5 week of
flowering. If u r interested about it i can sent u some more pics. Just want to know is it a male so i can move it from another girls that are also in flowering. Thank u in advance."
~Luka-Croatia Firstly, it's a female plant and I don't see obvious signs of it being a hermie. Second, it looks fantastic
so make sure to keep up the good work growing that fantastic-looking Croatian weed! 🌳 ~Sirius

Don't worry, you're all invited to a party on my new yacht! I know the picture above looks hilarious, but this was a real scam...and it worked! They would get a gullible person excited about this fake check, then send them a request for information. The poor victims sent them bank info, Social Security numbers, and pretty much everything but their organs. You
probably already realize to ignore any emails from Bill Gates, especially since he hasn't run Microsoft in almost a quarter-century. But just in case, don't trust anyone who contacts you regarding large sums of free money. Even actual free money (like from a bank or the government) can be verified without compromising your personal information. When in doubt, check the official website of the organization for answers. Make sure to watch out for seed scams! Remember: Real seed businesses don't contact you. They let you contact them. If anyone messages you to sell you seeds on social media, look out! It's possible they will take your payment and send nothing. Always take a second to think before sending money to anyone, especially if they contact you (whether by DM, text message, phone call, email,
etc.).

How to Make Cannabis Tinctures - A fellow grower wrote in and asked us if there's any way to improve the taste of tinctures. it seems really tough to alter such a strong taste, but it must be possible.
Have any growers figured out ways to make tinctures more palletable? Or are we all doomed to putting it capsules or just dealing with the horrible flavor?
