🧬 Genetics & Seeds
Tissue Culture & Micropropagation This section covers tissue culture. Tissue culture means growing new cannabis plants from very small pieces of plant tissue inside sealed, sterile jars. Most growers root cuttings in a tray. In tissue culture, the tray is replaced by a jar of nutrient jelly that has no germs in it. Strain Reviews Reviews of specific cultivars as grown, not as advertised: how a packet actually performed in a real room or field, what the phenotypes looked like, and whether the plant resembled what the name promised. Breeder's Lab This board is for growers who make their own seed instead of buying it. It covers choosing parent plants, making a cross and selecting the best plants over several generations. It also covers feminized seed made with silver thiosulfate (STS). STS is a silver solution sprayed on a female plant so that it grows male flowers. Autoflower Autoflowering cannabis (“autoflowers” or “autos”) starts to flower once the plant reaches a certain age. It does not wait for the nights to get longer. This category covers three things: where the trait comes from, what it costs you as a grower, and why many photoperiod growing habits give a poor result with autos.
