Selecting a Mother

ED has some good books my first was an ed rosenthal from the along time ago and probly my most used.

that marijuana botany by robert connel clark is a good reader.
Marijuana Botany - Marijuana Growing Guide

just cause you write a book dont mean you can grow great, ive smoked some of the canna bible dudes jason king i think sour d and twreck and a couple others and they were ok not the best they lacked flavor in my opinion

i liked dj shorts work very tasty

i look for flavor on the 3rd and 4th hit of a bowl as a flavor indicator if not its not top shelf. just some insight into my grading

i like this thread, i thought my most vigorous female was gonna be the best and after all said and done it was a slower starter that took off after sexual maturity in veg ended up much more bushy and denser stoneier buds in the end.

I much prefer Rosenthal, since he is a grower. Cervantes just seems to visit growers, I have yet to see anything he's grown. Just today I read another post of someone citing Cervantes, as gospel, and again not sure I would agree 100%.

I came up with the books that I did because they were the textbooks on Oaksterdamâ??s site. I figured that it couldnâ??t be a terrible place to start. I cite Cervantes because itâ??s what I have. I got no dog in this fight and have no reason to defend Cervantesâ?¦..but possibly not claiming some of those grows as his own could serve a purpose. I see posts on this site with us Newbs doing â??everything wrongâ?� and have some nice looking stuff. I see a lot of room for latitude. I do know that there is no 100%. I do give Cervantes credit for being in one hell of a lot of â??private placesâ?�, and that leads to an incredible overview. Having that reference at hand with an index is handy. (In retrospect that really looks like defending himâ?¦â?¦not my intent)This leads me into my evening rant:
In this sites favor I saw a post that compliments this site on a more â??adultâ?� content than othersâ?¦..on that I agree wholeheartedly. (itâ??s why I mostly hang here) I do get a little testy when a respondent suggests that the newb uses the search engineâ?¦â?¦IMnotsoHO the search engine here SUCKS! I certainly get info quicker from a text.
Anybody leaving feedback on their favorite Rosenthal bookâ?¦..Iâ??d be obliged!

Schools now test early and arrange classes by learning skills. Some visual, some auditory, etcâ?¦..I cite the youtube videos because with the audio and video combined I seem to retain it better. I suggest that approach to all newbs. It helps create a mental picture. The key to Carnegieâ??s memory course. The sad part being is that to make space for the new pictures, Iâ??ve had to delete just tons of old Raquel Welsh pictures stored in that gray matter that have quite frankly served me well for many yearsâ?¦..I sure hope that it turns out to be worth it!

Phatsesh
Good link��loads of info�..how about somebody give me a call and read it to me, the auditory part really helps.

Iâ??ll miss you Raquel,

Thanks from me too, Phatesh101, just saved it and will read it when I get a chance. Noticed the intro by Mel Frank, so it should hold some water.

And Horseman, sorry about losing Racquel but some other info in your brain might be a good thing.
You make a goodpoint about about newbs asking questions, I cringe sometimes when they get the bums rush with "google it"...like you point out it don't work that easy when you really are trying to find something on this site. But on the other hand some qestions are so basic it would be nice if they read something , anything on the subject first.

My atittude is to try to help anyone if they have a good decent approach and really need help. Some I've seen are past help and nothing I say will help them...or you just don't know where to begin.

Hey you can defend Cervantes, I don't have a problem with him, in fact like I said I was looking for his book to actually buy it. I thought it might be a good reference. I personally use a textbook I got 3 years ago for a horti class; "Horticulture, Principles and Practices" by George Acquash. It cost me abt $110, so it became my "go to" book for all things growing. Besides mmj I also dabble with wine vines used in viniculture. I've propagated vines for some wineries, including setting up a 5yr propagation program that takes only 3 years to do. (short days, shorten seasons all done indoors under artifical light and controlled enviroment)

I think you heard right about the taste... definitely one of the better tasting skunks.

After we grow out this stuff and select a mom(s), I think we'll do some Hindu Kush by Barney's next. You're welcome to kibbitz here while we wait.

Thanks, seeing as this looks to be the un-official 'old as dirt' corner, I feel quite at home already.

Hmmm, you got us figured out already.

Hi Sarah Louise,

Actually it's Dutch Pimp who is older then dirt, he says that makes me older then rock. LOL. Nice to have you stop by, it's allows nice to have mutually interested company.

Horseman, just mentioned that someone said this site seems to be more "mature" then some sites. Wait he actually said more "adult", hmmm that could be taken a different way I guess.

I must admit I was surprised by some peoples' ages here, but in thinking about it, it does makes sence. The generation that came up thru the 60's is much more accepting of the use of mj and by extension the use of mj medically. It is a much tougher sale for the older generation to accept. I often deal with patients (70-75+) who have such a negative feeling about using mj that they would rather suffer then try it. If I can't make the case for it at my age I trot out my housemate Tonto, who is 91 and show them what a help it has been to him. Many of my older patients have thier childeren who are in thier late 50's to early 60's who are pushing them to "at least" try it. And that has helped alot in bringing mmj to those that could use it.

Hey Crabbyback,

You probably missed it 'cause I posted it in basic growing, and lots of us skip over that or make it a last stop after our favorite areas. I put this here because I thought selecting a mom was a basic concept, tho in retrospect maybe it's an advance technique.

I don't mind being stalked, at least by you. When I first started out here it seemed I had a few anti-fans who stalked me just to knock my questions or answers. That type of stalking I don't need, makes me get real cranky real fast. BTW I see you posting more, passing on good info and trying to help those that could appreciate it. Good job.

Yo Dutch,

I'll try to post some more pics soon. I kicked myself last night for not having my camera with me. I had to move all 10 shivs skunks that are in flower for watering, it would have been a perfect time to line them up and get pictures of the girls together. :D Everybody say cheese:D

"You can lead a horse to water, but, you can't make them drink"

adult crowd its a darn senior center in here pretty soon youll be asking me to find the remote

does your roomy remember the pre prophibition era, and did he puff back then stuff from the pharmacy?
