I have been a smoker for probably 39 yrs have read a lot about med mm and thc & cbd counts what I can't seem to get my head around is how different strains can be used to treat different ailments,unlike pres drugs which are specifically made to target pain is specific ways what is that makes different strains target specific pain , don't get me wrong I know things like epilepsy cbd is a proven treatment as it is with cancer patients helping appetite but what scientific evidence to back up is there that a particular strain will target things like anxiety back pain etc ?

Hi all Question regarding finger numbers on leaves. Any truth to the idea that 3 or less fingers is less then desirable (unless its mongy weed) and can impact on potency? Ive got one thats more then 5 weeks after reveg and shes throwing 3,2 and single fingers. Will this trait be passed onto any clones or can i expect them to have the full 5/7 etc fingers once established?

Just starting my second grow with autos. It can be seen in the journal section of this site. I've been researching what the best light cycle is for autos. The general consensus is either 18/6, 20/4 or 24/0. Just wondering if anyone has any personal experience and has seen the difference it makes with these different light cycles? My first grow I did 20/4 the entire grow which worked well but I'm wondering if 24/0 may work even better. Thanks for any responses

Hey guys, Just thought I would share some info on how to germinate a seedling, and the first 3 weeks of growth. I'm still a new grower, but when I was starting out I was finding it hard to compare my seedling growth to others at various stages in the first few weeks and I have seen others asking the same type of questions since joining up. This is by no means a definitive guide, but it's what I've tried and what has worked well for me. I have had issues in the past and after seeking advice from members here and combining some of that advice with other information I've read this is what I've come up with. I've now germinated a few seeds this way and all are doing well, b…

Hi, me and my fiance are looking to grow one or two little autoflowers at a time in a big old closet, we have a 300w led, mylar to reflect, pots to plant the seeds in. I am ready to plant them when the seeds arrive, but I am very confused about nutrients and to an extent watering. Could somebody tell me which products exactly I need to buy and write a nutrient schedule for me? I would be very appreciative, i need to know how many times a week I need to feed these plants and how much of what nurrients I need (i have no understanding of growing any plants at all, so this is all very new to me)
