RE: Propagating Cannabis: A Few Hoops To Grow Your Own Medicine
Be careful of rockwool. It has the same hazards as fiberglass. Never breath or handle it dry. We recommend peat moss foam plugs. And roots grow from the stem not the cut. So a 45 degree angle isn't critical. It can be a clean break or 90 degrees.
Definitely supporting you and your work! Keep growing and very nice job! And great setup.
Growers like you make the patients rights battle even more needed. The endless paperwork and fear to grow the medicine? That's a horrible thing. We need more rights to grow flowers. And to be free from that fear and financial burden. But that's what the state wants. Control and cash.
I couldn't agree more @greenunion!
Thanks for adding some valuable information to this post in the way of an alternative to the rockwool plugs and in offering that the cut angle is not really important.
Yep. Keep it propagation friendly! And experiment with clones. I had a shot glass and plastic wrap with a little water end up working the best. Not large scale but fun microfogponic adventure... Love t
Your work!
Thanks @greenunion!
Thank you! Every vote grows us so we can help grow the Cannabis community!
Well then, here you go! :)
You sure can take the sting out of working on the van! Let alone the hard work of helping patients!
@greenunion you are absolutely right! Rockwool is not a great growing medium, it is both hazardous and not biodegradable.
Not to mention it has PH fluctuations issues more then other growing mediums.
I have been using "Flexiplugs" (this is a coir or peat product that is bound together with a polymer) for a while and although they are not as biodegradable as regular peat or coir products, they give you the benefits of both being solid and breaking down by plant roots, but in the same time not polluting the environment and causing more balanced PH.
Awesome job on the setup, thanks for sharing :)
Thanks! Just spreading truth! Nice to have someone agree!
