NOTEBOOK: science & og notes + sources

[anon98660487]

Funny enough I learned a lot more about growing on this forum than any others

This is a good solid forum you have a bit of everything to read ,
Don’t even know why people join other forums

But that’s a nice write up did there
Takes time to do that ,maybe a joint or 2 as well

added washing and drying info:

@the_bot

Washing & Drying

Many users wash their flowers before they hang them to dry. A pre-trim may be performed, but it is not necessary. The process consists in dipping the freshly cut harvest into three or two (depending on method) buckets.

The simplest version is to dip the flowers for 30 seconds to 1 minute in a 5 gallon bucket of water with 250ml of 3% H202 (Hydrogen Peroxide) - or 75ml of 34% food grade H202 in the 5 gallon buck of water - and then dip into a second bucket filled with simple water for rinse, then let drip dry (preferably with a fan near)

When the water has dried, hang on a dark room or diy drying box and make sure humidity (50% to 60%) and temperature (70F on average) is in check for about 10 days, or until stems snap or almost snap when bent.

Had me at Cannabis is a vascular plant -

Ok so I’ve made a couple of relevant updates and cleaned up a lot of unnecessary info.

Most important update is I added a complete copy of Mineral Nutrition of Higher Plants (for Dr. Bugbee followers this is one of the books he teaches with).

@the_bot

Marschner’s Mineral Nutrition of Higher Plants - A MUST.

Next thing I added is decarboxylation information based on this great post here in OG

@the_bot

Decarboxylation - Total THCa decarb is achieved at temps of 110°C/230°F (for 30 min), 130°C/266°F (9 min), and 145°C/293°F (6min) in an oven (coarse grind) on a baking sheet and covered with foil.

and Nagel420’s auto burping system

@the_bot

Nagel420 has a great auto burping system

and finally, I updated the growjournals section with descriptions.

@the_bot

D. ON INTERESTING GROW JOURNALS

Motaco - For those interested in heirloom and heirloom mix breeding.

Mr. Sparkle - Clean, organized, detailed.

Mr Sparkle - Micro-grow

ReikoX - Advanced, technical, clean, detailed.

99PerCent - Beautiful greenhouse.

GramTorino - Very detailed (with lots of good + explanatory images), clean, and organized.

Ttystikk - Vertical farming, say no more.

[the_bot]

thanks to @ReikoX, I saw this great research paper on different cannabis disorders. One of the things that stand out is the fact it presents a live visual progression of common disorders so you can identify them early on.

@the_bot

Characterization of Nutrient Disorders of Cannabis sativa - Research Paper with great visual progression of principal disorders

[Banquo]

Wow, this is truly a gem to behold. Thank you so much for taking the time to compile all of this. What a huge boon to the community.

My growmie @hollyho would probably also appreciate the wealth of knowledge packed into this post.

I would like to promote a youtube channel i just found through GreenGenesGarden profile.

It is Science in Hydroponics, by Daniel Fernandez Pinto PhD. I will add notes from his videos to the main text, but I thought it would be important to promote the channel as well. I think he is very concise and yet thorough in his explanations, and always with research at hand to cite.

[the_bot]

I have uncluttered it a bit, removed old links, removed redundant info, added some new download links, references, and filled in other areas that were lacking. among the changes i believe these were the most relevant:

full book download link for cannabis evolution and ethnobotany. the book is really nice

@the_bot

@the_bot

to know more about the limited science on Drying and Curing please see:

• Conviron Webinar on Drying and Curing

• Insipre Webinar on Drying and Curing

• Bugbee interview (small segment)

Updated the general growing techniques, adding a download link for Teaming with microbes (organic growing) and included crop steering thread

@the_bot

I. Techniques

General

• Dr. Bruce Bugbee (University of Utah) VIDEO - covers light, environment, media and fertilizer.**

Maximizing Cannabis Yields with Dr Bruce Bugbee - YouTube

• Clacka Mascoots - Organic Soil and Reiko’s amended mix

• Teaming with Microbes - understand the science behind organic growing and the technique to do it right. (just wait for bar to load for download link)

• Crop Steering thread - Manipulating environment to increase productivity and cannabinoids

• Hydroponic systems explained

Added a small section on IPM

@the_bot

• IPM (Integrated Pest Management) DONT fuck around with pests. Have an IPM ALWAYS. Any IPM system will include (i) frequently cleaning and disinfecting grow spaces with h202, iso alcohol, and/or heat treatments (like steamers for ppl on budget); (ii) cleaning and disinfecting tools used in pruning and cloning; (iii) setting rules like quarantining plants, or not taking clones.

• when it comes to prevention Neem Oil (with MINIMUM or NO SOAP, soap will burn your plants) and Spinosad is OK until the end of first week after flip.

• When it comes to prevention and control (meaning you have bugs already) Abamectin (Avid), bifenazate (Floramite), spiromesifen (Forbid) are kings/queens. Use until first week of flower. Abamectin can be considered organic.

also added some sources for raw fertilizers with costs, and DIY bloomers.

@the_bot

For flower you can increase the P up to 50mg/L with monopotassium phosphate or other similar DIY “bloomers”.

You can look for these raw fertilizers

and finally I added Reikos ammended Coot Mix for soil growers.

@the_bot

• Reikos Ammended Coot Mix (recommended)
