Marijuana Cultivation/

Fundamentals/ Of Myths and Magic

Of Myths and Magic

There is certainly as much myth and folklore spreading around about marijuana usage and

cultivation as anything else. This book attempts to slash through those myths to actual

proven and utilized techniques that have been put into practice. It is highly recommended

that you consider the tested information in this book as a primary source of information and

doubt conflicting third party information until it is proven to you.

Some common myths that are seen include the use of menstrual blood for flowering. The

claim that baking soda and vinegar will kill plants if used to adjust PH. Some people claim

that absolutely any light level whatsoever will destroy crops and others claim that a couple

hours of light in the middle of the dark cycle will improve the size of flowers. If you want to

know the truth about these claims just dive on in ahead. Everything you need to grow high

quality, potent, and high yielding marijuana plants is contained in these pages.

Marijuana Cultivation/

Fundamentals/ Parts of the Plant

Parts of the Plant

This section is added for the curious who don't know much about marijuana and how it is

used. The entire plant contains the psychoactive ingredients which include Delta-9 THC and

many cannabinoids that give each plant its own unique profile of properties and effects.

However, not all parts contain them in the same concentrations.

Flowers

The flowers or Buds of the plant contain the highest concentrations of plant resin which in

turn contains the highest concentration of active ingredients. The unpollinated flowers of

the female plants are the part of the plant that is used by recreational users because they

produce copius amounts of potent plant resin in order to try to catch pollen. Marijuana is

one of the few plants today that actually is split by gender and has distinct separate male

and female plants. Female plants do not pollinate themselves in the absence of males but do

contain the genetic capability to produce male flowers and may do so under stress. There

are also hermaphrodite plants that produce both male and female flowers. Male plants and

male flowers are not very potent and are not used recreationally

Marijuana Cultivation/ Fundamentals/ Parts of the Plant

Leaves

Leaves are generally not used recreationally and will generally give you a headache rather

than get you high. There are however ways to extract the active ingredients from leaves

and the different types of leaves have different potencies.

Large Shade Leaves

These are the large classically shaped leaves on the plant and are the least potent. There

are extraction methods that can be performed to get something useful out of these but the

result won't be very pure and many growers just throw them away.

Grow Tips

These clusters of small tender leaves are the point on the plant where new growth sprouts

from during vegetation. They are more potent than Shade leaves but less potent than trim

leaves or bud.

Trim Leaves

These are the sugar coated leaves that are trimmed from around the buds during harvest.

The sugar coating of trichomes can make these quite potent and they can be as potent as

low quality flowers with seeds.

Stems

The stems are not really useful for psychoactive purposes but they are a great source of

plant fiber for rope, paper, etc.

Seeds

The seeds generally contain only trace amounts of psychoactive ingredients but they are

one of the most nutritious foods currently known to man. They are one of only a handful of

substances that man can sustain off indefinitely with no other food and provide all known

amino acids.

Trichomes

Trichomes are the oil glands of the plant and contain the highest concentration of active

ingredients of any part of the plant. The flowers are sought out because they contain the

highest concentration of trichome and hash is made from collected and pressed trichomes.

These are very useful for determining the maturity of a plant during the flowering stage.

Roots

The purpose of the roots is served when the plant is harvested. They have no useful

psychoactive ingredients and aren't typically eaten.
