Oh no no no…you don’t get off that easy. After the contest is done you need to AT LEAST talk about the 12/12 method, CO2 tablets, and Female Seeds. There’s too many years of experience and knowledge rattling around in that hard Dutch noggin of yours for you to just run off without sharing it all with us

OK, so this topic is public now.
There are 9 participants, so all 9 are winners I think…
but still @SpeesCees I think we deserve to know right answers, if you can comment on that … or comment on how the participants did… Thanks
To all participants, please send me your address to private message (also mention which strain you want - choose here), so I can prepare address list for SpeesCees to send out seeds. Thx.

Can’t agreed more. On female seeds i’ve a quote from the Greeg Green’s book than i’m just finishing than i want to talk about; it’s about a conversation with Vic High.

I’ve just found that there is one more participant - @StevieG, which sent answers directly to @SpeesCees instead of me… So there are total 10 participants / winners now.
I think we can forgive this mistake and I’m adding his submission here…

Let’s see how I do!!
- Charles Darwin wrote and illustrated groundbreaking books
- The himalayas are probably full of rock dusts, so it should have a high pH, 7+, and idk, maybe 40% clay
- its full of nutrition and makes for tough roots.
- because humans preferred the plants with higher resin content and chose to breed them
- it tells the plant death is coming, so put out or get out.
- Not enough
- it gets plants stretching for sunlight
- wet a paper towel leave em in the towel until the crack and I put them in the soil. Or I put em right in soil.
- mites come with clones ALL the time
- too hot, needs more air circulation
Lmk if I’m in man cheers thanks for the generosity to the site

Yeah, exactly.
I’m especially interested in questions 5, 7, 8, and 10.
- I’m not sure that light does degrade our beloved plant, though it clearly wreaks havoc on terpenes. I did an mini test with my last harvest, sun drying a branch over the course of a couple days. When I feel I’ve gotten the technique down I’ll get some side-by-side lab tests done on the sun dried and traditional buds

So upset I missed this. More so because of the,fun of it all. I already have more seed than I can pop in the next 6 months. Time to start paying it forward i suppose. Hehe good luck everyone (eventhough you all already won! Lol)
Can’t wait to see @SpeesCees response to these answers!

I saw the contents an hour after it closed. I know my time here has dropped a lot but between overtime at work, finding a new house and preparing for the move leaves me with very little down time. In a couple weeks well be in the new house, work will be caught up and I’ll be hanging out with my OG friends much more

@MadScientist I can’t say how much that means to me. I’m sure it may be the translation but I’ve always felt like there was some kind of tention between you and I (though that was cleared up in pm a long time ago) but obviously its just my mind telling me IMA loser all the time lol
About the beans. I appreciate the offer… But, well yeah just shoot me a pm anyways

I do not use translation bro… I learned english in your country when i graduated HS in Seattle, WA. Class of 93. Kentwood Senior High. I am on the yearbook online as a little boy, look it up… HAHAHAHA
Tension existed, but not no more… I told you guys, i am a war dog and will go to any extend to protect our home, even if sometimes i come off as an asshole or something. But i love all of you guys, specially the ones that do not like me. They make me better and i can feel the energy, and it charges up my batteries.
Anyway, don’t be a stranger bro!

SpeesCees
The SpeesCees contest august 2018. ( incl. answers )
Question 1/ Tell us as much as possible about Darwin.
Darwin did study ecology ( some even thinks he was a theologue ) and became a very good friend of Dr. Henslow. Dr. Henslow was an old botanicas and did already find out that there was evolution going on. He did bring Darwin to the point that he did make the trip around the world to check it out because he was too old at that time. The ship was payed by Henslow. They also took good painters with them to drawn what they did see. What came out of it we all did learn at school. But Darwin wasn’t the finder of evolution.
Question 2/ What do you think how high or low the PH will be in the soil of the Under Himalaya on the spots were the plants have their natural habitat ? And what do you think or know how much of that soil is clay in % ?
The PH is at all places were we did take samples PH 6.00 and the % of clay is between 70 and 75 %.
Question 3/ What’s the benefit of a % clay in the soil If it’s coming to Himalaya plants ?
Clay does cool down very slowly in the night and that does protect the roots. The plant can stand a lot of cold and/or heat… but the roots need warmth.
Question 4/ Why does our beloved plant makes resin ?
To protect herself on day time for the 40 and plus degrees Celsius. The resin is taking care that the plant does not dry out in day time. The same resin does become stone hard when the cold of the night is coming. This hard lay does protect the plant for the frost.
Question 5/ Why you should keep your plants after you harvest them at least stay 5-6 days in the dark ?
After cutting the plants during the harvest… it’s still alive. ( look to clones by example ) It takes 5-6 days that any syntheses still let the plant trying to overcome his misery by trying to survive. This trying… go’s by a lost of the % cannabinoids.
Question 6/ What do you know about Hermaphrodites ?
Cannabis does have by nature a very little hiding y hanging on each XX. If any female does come in a kind of stress situation… she will form some male flowers to pollinate herself to survive. Plants who were selected well and were breeding until at least F6 will not create that easy some male flowers. Some strains does create for almost nothing already male flowers. That are the real herma’s and not the strain we want in our seed box.
Question 7/ What’s the function of Gibberellic Acid in our plant life ?
GA is a steering hormone. Any impulse that receives the plant will be picked up and GA is taking care that the plant will do what it’s becoming for commando.
Question 8/ How you germinate canna seeds and why you do so ?
We are only germinating between clean cotton that isn’t so white by the use of chlorine. Ones the seeds are between the slightly moistened cotton and with kitchen foil wrapped around, we lay them down on 23 degrees Celsius. After exactly 30-31 hours they crack and we do plant them into a right medium.
Question 9/ What’s the most common problem, out of spin mites and/or trips, with clones ?
Root rot ! If clones didn’t create roots in 7-8 days max… they do have foot rot already.
You may recognize it if you see plants out of clones who did need some time under 18 hours light to start growing. Mostly they form a big bubble on the stem just on top of the medium. Then she was creating a new “road” up around the foot rot.
Question 10/ Why does canna plants create sometimes indoor new buds spread over the old buds ?
If they did form flowers enough, natural speaking, and still in a good shape, they will give it a try to create some new slightly buds over the top buds to become a chance to get pollinized anyway. But they only will do so if all conditions are still well.
