Since pot is legal now in many states I thought it would be a good idea to have an "Official" pot thread so growers and enthusiasts as well can share tips, stories, and generally discuss the benefits of cannabis. It is now scientific fact that cannabis helps with nausea for chemo patients as well as CBD's helping with chronic pain. As an example I am curious if folks know how CBD's are made from pot? Or the importance of decarboxylation before making cannabis butter or other edibles. When do you harvest my plants for the highest potency? What kind of nutrients and how much. Inside vs outside. Questions, answers, opinions are many.
Let's discuss:
Mods...please block Ommy from posting in this thread so we don't halve to listen to his drivel
I will start out with some pics from my latest outside grow. I wrongly called these Quantum Kush in another thread. That is wrong and I disliked myself. These are actually Mama Mia. They were topped about 5 times and because they were threatening to outgrow my greenhouse I employed a method called "supercropping" to control the height
Here is a pic of supercropping As you can see the stems have been crushed gently and the stem bent over 90 degrees. Shotens the plant and the bent stems will turn and reach for the light again giving you two and maybe three new colas instead of one.

Here are some pics of the plant in flower. These should be done in the second week of October. Because of the topping and supercropping I expect about a pound and a half yield from each plant

Those yellow and white things at the top of the pic are called YoYo's They keep branches that are to heavy with the cola from breaking. The more I need the happier I am. You will also notice some leaves turning yellow. This is because the plant is using all of it's energy to feed the colas and the fan leaves slowly die off once they are no longer needed,
