as far as strain, i couldnt tell u! i was given a generously filled bag of seeds from my friend and he said "good luck on getting a propper seed if u only plan on a couple plants, theres a good amount of seeds in there that i found in funky sack's, but an even better amount of seeds from dirt trees" so im just crossing my fingers . i could def tell good trees and bad trees apart, but based on just the stem and leaves at this early stage, i couldnt tell what it is lol. how come noone makes any mention of ruderalis? isnt that a sub species of cannabis?
C. sativa subsp. sativa var. spontanea
Cannabis sativa L. subsp. sativa var. spontanea (C. ruderalis)

Correct name: Cannabis sativa L. subsp. sativa var. spontanea (Vavilov) Small & Cronq.

Synonym: C. ruderalis Janisch.

This taxon includes wild or feral Cannabis plants. In the absence of selective breeding, these plants have lost many of the traits they were originally selected for, and have acclimatized to their locales. Plants of this type are often short, branchless, and early-flowering. The plants usually have low levels of cannabinoids, and a low ratio of THC to CBD, and thus are of little use as a source of drugs.[3] However, so-called "indica" drug strains are sometimes cross-bred with "ruderalis" to produce high THC plants having the hardiness and reduced height of "ruderalis".

The term "ruderal" was originally used in the former Soviet Union to describe populations of hemp that had escaped cultivation and adapted to the surrounding region. Plants of this type are widespread throughout central and eastern Europe, including Lithuania, Belarus, Latvia, and Estonia. Similar populations can be found in most of the areas where hemp cultivation was once prevalent. The most notable region in North America is the Midwest, though populations occur sporadically throughout the United States and Canada. These plants have escaped from cultivation more recently, and often grow larger than the ruderal plants in Europe.

Cannabis users often call this feral Cannabis "ditch weed." Outside of its native range, it is regarded as an invasive plant. Despite years of government-sponsored eradication programs, these feral plants still remain in bountiful abundance.

It has several times been proposed that this taxon be recognized as a distinct species, called C. ruderalis.

not my info, from wikipedia. basically it's what, when crossed with sativa/indica makes it auto flower, eg lowryder, if i'm not mistaken.

as far as lighting schedule, 18/6 or 24/0 and 12/12 for flowering. seems to be the norm from everything i've read.

as far as the lighting goes, you asked what would help your bertha grow fast for a funky yield, well getting more lights would help. you can paint the inside of your grow box flat white. aluminum has a percentage of light reflected of 70-75 while flat white has a value of 85-93 and just to round it out mylar has a value of 90-95.

what is your temperature running at?

headshake Reviewed by headshake on . Flowering question so ive heard alot of different light schedualling from different people and so far the only one to make sense is 24 hours for vegging lol. my plant is about 3 and a half weeks old now (her name is mama =]) and ive been LSTing her (hoping its a she) for a couple days now which is working lovely (i think?). in either case, im hoping to acheive between 4 to 6 stalks sumwhere around 3 feet tall each and im running my plant on 2 x 18 inch flouros and 2 x 27 watt solar CFL's, surrounded by Rating: 5
