🌱 Cultivation
Greenhouse Growing A greenhouse sits between a sealed indoor room and an open field. This guide covers plastic-film tunnels and glasshouses. It explains how light deprivation lets you decide when plants flower. It also covers building for heavy rain, high humidity and very strong sun. Terpenes & Flavonoids This sub-board covers the compounds behind the aroma and flavour of cannabis. It covers three questions. Which terpenes does a plant make? What decides how much of them is still there when the flower reaches the jar? And how much evidence is there for the popular idea that terpenes decide the effect of a cultivar (a named, selected plant variety, usually called a “strain”)? Advanced Techniques This board is for growers who already have a working grow room. The topics here are about shaping the plant, not just feeding it. They cover cutting the growing tips, bending stems, spreading plants under a net, removing leaves, and keeping mother plants for cuttings. Fungi & Mycology Fungi as part of a growing system rather than as a disease: mycorrhizal partnerships at the root, Trichoderma and the other biological control organisms, composting and substrate life, and general mycology for people who found it through the plant. Indoor Growing This board covers growing in a closed room where you set every condition yourself. The weather no longer decides anything for you. That also means any setting can be wrong. Outdoor Growing This board is about growing cannabis outdoors in Thailand and Southeast Asia. All the advice here is written for tropical conditions. Most outdoor growing guides come from Europe or North America, where the seasons are different, so their planting calendars often do not work here. Growroom Design & Setup The box you build around the plant: how a room is laid out, how air moves through it, what the heating and cooling equipment has to be sized for, and the design decisions that are cheap on paper and expensive once the walls are up. Grow Diaries This sub-board is for grow diaries. A grow diary is a single thread about one growing run, from seed to the end of curing. The person running the grow writes it from start to finish in that one thread. Pesticide & Contaminant Remediation This section deals with a crop that contains something it should not. The four main problems are pesticide residues, heavy metals, microbes such as moulds and bacteria, and mycotoxins (poisons that some moulds leave in the crop). Use it to discuss how each problem is found, the few ways to remove it, and when a batch can no longer be sold. Basic Growing Info The first board to read. What a cannabis plant needs, how to get a seed to open, what happens at each stage between germination and harvest, and which of the things beginners worry about turn out not to matter.
