May 2007 Marijuana News

Marihuana / Marijuana was the name selected by the prohibicionistas ideologists to discredit the cannabis, and few at the time imagined that “the killer grass” was the same plant that was cultivated extensively under the name of hemp (hemp). The fact of being a word by Latin roots reflected also inherent racism to the American laws antidrug, conceived in fact to repress ethnic sectors considered undesirable by the white elite. But for a long time the marijuana, like word, has been going dissident alongside and now belongs to the cannábica culture in general, with a very concrete meaning: those plants with a sufficient content of THC like placing.

Cannabis is the taxonomic name of the plant that also we know like hemp or marijuana. Sativa cannabis, East Indian Cannabis and Cannabis ruderalis are the main ancestries of the species. This taxonomic name usually is used in medicinal and legislative contexts like synonymous of the marijuana. In the associative scope, the term cannabis conserves its scientific meaning to embark all the members of the taxonomic family without distinctions because of its later use.

Hemp is the denomination that we used to define those varieties of the Cannabis whose aim is industrialist, nutritional or for other nonpsychoactive aims. Usually they are of low content of THC to fulfill the legal requirements for its culture, being appraised the plants by the length of the fibers of the stem that are used in the manufacture of weaves and paper. The hemp also has demonstrated to be a renewable resource with a high ecological value as much in its culture as its processing and later manufacture.

Fragment of the text of Jose T. Gallego

The original seeds of the Dutch banks are expensive because to produce it requires them a great work. One is not to take to a female anyone and to cross it a male to remove seeds. In order to produce the best seeds two pure races make lack. The banks of seeds must be selecting, year after year, the best plants of a variety to cross them to each other. Throughout several generations they stabilize the variety so that all the plants are similar to each other. When the variety is stable seed hundreds of seeds and the best female selects itself. This female will cross itself a male of another selected pure and stable variety through same procedure. All this process of selection and hibridación can last several years and implies the germination of a few thousands of seeds. With this work very powerful varieties, homogenous and productive are obtained. Cañamones produced by banks of seeds has several advantages. On the one hand, you know exactly that varieties plan Planting good seeds, all the females will be powerful and place well. anvil and, therefore, which you can harvest. Secondly, most of the Dutch varieties they are F1, which means that they are hybrid of two pure races. Seeds F1 enjoy a vigor and a special strength, call hybrid vigor, that makes them produce until a 25 percent more of cogollos. The seeds that a plant F1 produces denominate F2 and no longer they have the hybrid vigor. Thirdly, seeds F1 usually give rise to quite homogenous plants, that is to say, seemed to each other. All the plants of a variety will be similar and be mature and ready to harvest more or less at the same time. This does not happen to the seeds F2, that give rise to very different plants to each other, powerful ones and other no.

I can cultivate with homemade seeds?

The seeds that leave in the cogollos of your plantation do not have anything of bad. Them they can leave good plants, but all the plants that leave will not be good. The main disadvantage of the homemade seeds is that there is no quality assurance of the grass. Seeds will give good plants and other no. If we are not very demanding with the quality of the cogollos or if we have space sufficient as to seed many seeds and to select only the best plants, the homemade seeds can serve to us. In fact, if we planted a variety year after year and are crossing the best plants, we will take control of our own race in a few years. He is crucial to select the best plants to avoid than the species degenerates and loses its content in THC. If on the contrary only there is space for few plants and you want to remove a harvest that allows to smoke all the year you look for Dutch seeds. The seeds of the same country or homemade are very dangerous. Some take too much in blooming, others cogollan little, are you even have left dwarves and that as soon as they throw resin. With seeds of good varieties and a little taken care of in the culture, the powerful grass practically is guaranteed.

Pure race of marijuana (fragment)

The pure races are those in which certain characteristics are always present. This does not mean that all the plants are exactly equal in all the aspects, but will maintain a certain uniformity. That is to say, although some plants are higher or earlier, most of them it will enter its characteristics within certain limits. An important advantage of the pure races is that the seeds produced from males and females of that pure race do not lose quality like when we make a crossing between seeds F1. The phenotype of a plant (its external aspect) comes dice by its genotype (its genetics) and by the environmental conditions. Two seeds with the same genetics cultivated in different conditions give rise to two plants with different aspect. We can obtain a pure race in which all the plants are exactly equal in everything? By all means that no, the genetics is too complex as to be able to fix all the characteristics of a plant. What yes we can do is to fix some characteristics, specially those that interest to us more like cultivators. One is to obtain a general uniformity in those characteristics that we want that they define our species. Let us say that we want to make a race pure of early flowering. The speed of flowering is a characteristic that comes determined by a pair from genes (in fact it is probable that it comes determined by several pairs from genes but we simplified it so that is understood more easily) contained in the chromosomes of each cell of the plant. The chromosomes come in pairs and in each member of the pair one of the genes lodges that indicate the speed of flowering. If we have one hundred seeds and we planted them we will see plants that mature before and other that mature later. If there are one hundred plants, we can consider that we have two hundred genes in charge to define the speed of flowering. Each one of these genes can slightly be different, but to us to only it interests the gene us that gives the earliest flowering. Ideally, all the genes of speed of flowering of the race would have to be he himself gene. A race will be as much purer and homocigótica for the early flowering whichever greater frequency of appearance has the wished gene.

This list contains known people of who evidence exists of which they have smoked sometimes in his life cannabis. This list is for ending some prejudices around this plant, and of step, knowing a little more on the drug use, taboo in some western societies.

WARNING

This list is based on declarations of such involved in this human habit so badly sight. If these in this list and bother to you or it seems to you escrache, we want that you know that it is not of bad wave nor of bellboys. It is like making a happy route between those who podriamos to pass a behind schedule disinterested one of ditch and other abominable beings like some presidents of the United States. To drug itself does not do to anybody but “pleasant one” or “won” or “tolerant person”. The drug is in all sides presents/displays, is part of the human life, not the drug, but the altered of conscience or to be but ample states, “the states”… Nevertheless the double speech, the moral and social prestige often make of the cannabis consumption a pile of mythology terrorist-Christian.

What would say the followers of Popeye if, suddenly, found out that the sailor obtained his force of the marijuana and not of the spinach?
It happens that, apparently, he was of that drug from where came the energy that the emblematic animated personage “needed” to fight against badly. Magazine Twenty-three published this week a note in which reflects an article of the Canadian publication Culture Cannabis, in which they assure that the force of Popeye came from the marijuana and that the spinach was a metaphor.
The strip was created by the sketcher Elzie Segar, in 1929, in the heat of decade in which spinach was a word-code to mean marijuana. “The Spinach Song” was a song recorded in 1938 by the jazz band Julia Lee and to her Boyfriend, in which a clear reference to the spinach like metaphor became of the drug.

Among another one of the causes that the magazine uses figure that was the sailors first who introduced the marijuana in the American culture. The certain thing is that whenever Popeye consumed the magical grass, it arrived at the imminent defeat of his enemies.
But there would be more causes by those than the magazine justifies its hypothesis. As they are it some chapters in which its culture of spinach is seen the sailor taking care of, that remember a cannabis garden, and others in which appears loading a package of “pure Bolivian spinach” (as it was ***reflxed mng in the wrapper).
Another one of the indications is that the propaganda antimarijuana of the time maintained that the grass caused a superior force, like the spinach that consumed the sailor. Thus the things, the certain thing is that - from interpretations the personage got more there to be one of most famous of the world.

In the treatment stage which looks for it is that it is mainly disturbed to the chlorophyll and other elements, in addition to obtain the aroma and looked for flavor.
The decomposition of the chlorophyll approximately takes place in a month and the time in which the grass this in its optimal flavor and aroma, that is to say by other sources, is of a year (anyone holds so much).
Lamentably in all this time it starts off or great part of the THC by oxidation to transformed into CBN (losing great part of its psychoactive power, although a part of the THCA that habia turned the drying stage is not transformed now into THC) reason why recommends less time, are no concrete data so that dependera of the particular taste of each one here, the environmental conditions, as well as of the variety of the cannabis, (I personally am smoking until I see that this in its point).

Once cured drying and (if we have still not smoked everything) enters the phase of storage in which we tried to stop the processes of descarboxilacion and oxidation, as well as to maintain the flavor and aroma.
The method used aside from the logical one to congeal it (the best one but with its disadvantages), is to put it in bottles with the smaller amount of possible air, to the emptiness or replacing this by an inert gas like nitrogen (paralyzing the oxidation of the THC in CBN), to also introduce some absorbent natural of the humidity like cotton or paper of cellulose, by the possible small rest of humidity that are, to close hermetically and to keep from the light and to maintain in situated a fresh air.

In the drying, the whole plants usually are placed the other way around hung, or they are deposited in trays for its drying. Many cultivators think that the floral clusters hung mouth down for the drying, cause that the resins move by gravity to the extremities, like with other superstitions, little or no resin or cannabinoides is transported by means of the vascular system after the plant has been harvested. To invest the plants for the drying, causes that the leaves hang very next to the floral clusters when they are dried, and the resins are left prote’ge’es of an external manipulation of any type. The floral clusters also seem more attractive and greater if they are hung.

The resins are very fragile and fall outside the chalices to the shaken being the plant. At least the clusters are manipulated, better aspect will have, as well as better flavor and aroma when smoking. The floral clusters, including great stems and leaves, commonly are dried until arriving at a 25% of their original fresh weight (it must lose a 75% of his weight in water). When they are sufficiently dry to be stored without the mould threat, the central stem of the floral cluster will easily break the doubled being, like the secondary stems and others.

The drying must be made slowly, without light and in a dry and fresh atmosphere, with temperatures of approximately 18º to 22ºC, until arriving at an optimal point. The wrappers in newspaper papers facilitate the drying and they do not contribute strange flavor, since they from within facilitate the humidity absorption and its elimination from outside, but is had a good dryer does not need any accessory

Like general norm, the marijuana has to contain approximately a 10% of water, to come to its storage or being smoked in optimal conditions.

The flowering comes determined by fotoperiodo from light (received hours of light) during the night the cannabis makes a called hormone florigen that when arriving the day is destroyed, but the nights are sufficiently long the hormone finishes their cycle and if this repeats during some days the plant will begin to undergo a process of initiation to the flowering, the interior plants bloom all with fotoperiodo of 12/12, in outside these hours vary for each type of race, it has you indicate (as we said before but fast in which the sátivas) that can initiate the flowering just by 10 hours at night and sátivas that need the 12 hours the dark. All the plants of cannabis always floran with 12 hours of socuridad! We have divided the process of flowering in 4 parts:

1. - A time reached fotoperiodo indicated after each species of cannabis the males is extended to be left over the females thus when opening estambres polen will fall in the cogollos of the females, these also are extended to form a frame where to locate the cogollos, the internaked distance at the outset is very great, but soon it will fill of flowers and this way will be able to support the weight of the resinous cogollos that each plant will have.
The leaves let be born of two in two to be born one in each knot and faced and the ends they begin to leave oppositely to as it began when it was born in its day, leave the first leaves 5, depués of 3 until ending only one end. The flowering has begun!2. - At a second moment the cogollos, great amounts of chalices crowned by tens of white pelillos begin to form, the internaked distance still is very great and the cogollos are very small, but the plant or begins to form the first tricommas that are located mainly in the contours of the small leaves but and in the chalices, the plant or begins to smell and begins to produce THC or Delta 9, also will begin to produce THCa and delta 8 that soon will become THC or CBD. We must handle the plants by far well-taken care of because but the glands that contain the THC break and this one oxidizes. Intense rain also can break the tricommas and separate to produce mould. Apartir of this moment we do not have to never pulverize the plants since the water is introduced in the cogollos and favors the mould appearance. If we underwent this mishap we will have to eliminate with a knife the part that has the mould and 2 centimeters around thus to avoid that it returns to appear.

- tricommas: they are small glands in form of chupachups that contain the THC and all the other cannabinoides of the cannabis that in broad strokes is what places when smoking, to eat, etc….

3. - Now the plant lets grow totally and it is dedicated exclusively to the production of flowers that are fattening the cogollos. The great leaves become yellow and they are marchitan until they fall, most of the flowers already are fertile and some pelillos become maroones and they are marchitan. The resin production now is very great and the plant begins to smell much, if a tricomma is broken the scent is increased very many and very hard gotten to be annoying for being. In natural conditions the plant now would be polinizada and let make resin to center its forces in the production of seeds, but the culture of narcotic cannabis for recreational use cultivates plants “sinsemilla”, this means that when separating the males we prevented that the manufacture of tricommas and resins stops until the plant dies and thus we obtain a harvest very superior as far as resins and pelotazo when smoking that any other plant that has been polinizada.

4. - Arrived east moment it is the point in which the cannabis lets produce flowers and begins to mature the tricommas. Estigmas becomes brown and they are marchitan, the plant acquires an autumnal color and loses vitality by the long effort of the flowering. The resin is transparent at first becomes from color amber is transparent as is maturing and is necessary to think about the harvesting.

A form guessed right enough to harvest when the plant has all its potential is when 60% to 80% of estigmas are of brown color, although this technique is not infallible.

The best form to see the exact point of maturation of the tricommas (when but THC it has) is fijandonos with a magnifying glass in the heads of the tricommas, if they are I am transparent the resin has not matured, if they are of color amber is transparent is the suitable moment for gathering, now the plant has all its pontencial, to apartir of here the THC is oxidized and becoming CBD and other cannabinoides. If the resin is white translucent the THC already to begun to oxidize and the time of harvest is going.

Family SKUNK of is known, the most used in different crossings of varieties and the most recommended for nascent from culture. Pure and original varieties like, Skunk# 1 Extreme Skunk, Euphoria, Oranje Bud estan present in all the banks of seeds, as well as a infinity of crossings, Belladona, Super Skunk, To churn, Leshaze, Hoists, Big Kahuna, etc and until its femenizadas versions it eats Skunk# 11. Easy of culture, Colombian X 25% holds the heat well thanks to part of their Mexican genetics 50%.
Another characteristic is its scent, Afghan 25%, and its euphoric, energetic and lasting effect. If like Skunk you do not let you prove the varieties of The Flying Dutchmen, all their varieties leave from their original and genuine skunk# 1 ¨The Pure¨.

The family WHITE, rovolucionó the culture to principle of the ninety. Originally a crossing of plants Brasilian X the South of India, this variety but is made famous and awarded in aids and but recommended for therapeutic use.
Scott Blade, the criador of the Original White Widow development this and others between which we honored White Rhino, Great White Shark, the Boy.
Fights between their discoverers cause that Scott takes to own direction towards their own bank Mr Nice Seeds Bank and that its genetics is disperses between its other partners. At the moment those are several banks that dispute his ¨originalidad¨.
If you decantais by this variety and its crossings podreis to choose between several options, between which we emphasized to you: Great White Shark, Crystal, Manolito, White Russian or to prove the differences of genetics between the White Widow Dutch Passion or White Widow De Sjamaan where all the varieties are of the family White or White Widow Nirvana.The Blue family, was created and developed by Dj Short in 70´s, between Oregon and Canada, with varieties Purple Thai and Afghanas.
From different the crossings from the selected parents they arose, Blueberry, Flo, Blue Moonshine and Blue Velvet.Dj´s Short development the varieties along with Duth Passion, which I end bad, and with Sagharmatha Seeds possessor of much and very good genetics, which also badly I end.
Single Breeder (cultivating of thirty few single year and Steve, a cultivator Canada) and their ¨especies of vida¨ have obtained fruit crossings of this family with many of their characteristics, scent and flavor, tonalities purples and an amount of hallucinating resin. Other banks develop to copies or ¨robos¨ that uses the qualities of this family as the case of Nirvana and its Blue Misty or our own with a variety in called test Coyote and other variety with which there are flipao in the culture of east outside summer and that already this nailed at the top of our grey hair-ranking Blue Crazy. It changes the color, flavor and scent of your culture and pasate to famia Royal Blue.

The Afghana line is another onnipresente in many varieties. Possibly, we think that most authentic she is the one than part of Sensi Seeds, because has an original male who takes ¨mas of two decades in growth vegetativo¨desde one of his trips by Afganistn and Pakistán.Variedades like Northern Lights, Hindu Kush, Shiva Shanti, are jewels of the collection of this bank.
This family gives to form to other many races campeonas by her stability, speed of flowering, size of the plants and its physical and narcotic effect in many of them. The most known and awarded they are Sensi Star or Durga Mata of the famous Luke de Paradise seeds. Another one campeona and one of but the producing plants but with Afghan ascentros is Cronic or its premium Double Dutch.

As pure race we emphasized more in sativas Durban Poison for outside culture and
Power recommended Plant more for interior, although the two have behaviors and similar parameters of culture. Good growth and fast flowering with a high quality and a very acceptable yield. Energetic and cerebral effect with especiado flavor and wood.

By our part in the Haze family still there are no encontrao a unit that is worthy to review in these line although many expert cultivators defend this line of plants with a period of flowering of 9/12 weeks, little flowering and much desperation. Between the varieties that recomedamos you of this family do not estan the Silver Haze, Arjan Haze, etc,…. although if are good cultures of this variety with crossings of Skunk and Afganas.Cruzadas if, pure no; it is a recommendation. If you want to prove some variety of this type S.A.G.E it is of the best elections.

Like pure East Indian varieties, the flavor of variedaes of California, Africa and Nepal take the palm, the Oscar and all the prizes for this that write to you. This year my cultures you would estaran to overflow with resin of flavorful varieties, the Himalayas Gold,
Yumbolt, Bubble Gum and insurance that surprise but of that it thinks that the cannabis is a grass of a branch.

 

Esqueje or a clone is a plant of identical genetic characteristics to those of the plant from which it has been obtained. The plants from which they obtain esquejes call plants mother. Basically the system consists of cutting a plant piece and causing that it takes root, as normally the grandmother does or did with the geraniums…

The culture from clones has numerosoas advantages. We know that those plants are female. In addition their resistance, its rate of growth and its prodoctuvidad are greater than the one of the plants of seeds. In this way a plant can be maintained alive indefinitely, by means of the clonación of its clones.

When one begins in the culture is learned much more on the plant cultivating from seeds. But for the become fond of cultivator and the professional, the clones are a tool of irreplaceable work.

How to do esquejes of marijuana?
- To do esquejes it is needed precise scissors that they make a clean cut in the stem of the plant, or a blade (with which is due to watch not to slice a finger).
- Hormones of rooting. One is a product that stimulates and accelerates the process of formation by roots of the plant. They exist in several forms: in dust, in liquid and gel. It has biological and chemical.The hormones in dust form go well, but it is necessary to take many precautions in its aplicaión. One is due to put, very very little polvito. By far taken care of of not plugging the base of the stem, because it would cause that the water did not arrive at the leaves and its death. It is enough with putting very little dust, only 1 cm. around the base of the stem, and to shake the excess.

With hormones of taken root in liquid or gel more satisfactory results are obtained and are of much more easy use. With hormones it saw in liquid form must prepare the dissolution. With single gel hormones the base of esqueje must be greased slightly.

- Esquejes, devoid by roots, cannot absorb water of means. Reason why a favorable factor to the fast taken root one is a high humidity (around the 70%-80%). For it an old aquarium or a great box of plastic transparency can be prepared. Tabién ideal mini-conservatories are sold to maintain a high humidity during the taken root one of the clones. Mini-conservatories with heating in the inferior part also exist, or a small thermal carpet can be acquired which is very useful, since a temperature of between 20º-25º stimulates the formation by the new roots.

- Also it favors taken root of the clones a light not very hard. They are possible to be done in a corner of the interior moved away of fluorescent the direct light of sodium or under type grolux. Case of using fluorescent ones must be located to a distance of between about 25,35 cm.

- Average of taken root. Small ideal rock wool buckets can be used 4×4×4. Or at the most small tiestos better, of between 5-8 cm. The one that the receiver of esqueje is small favors fast taking root.

Way of coming
In order to obtain first esqueje of a plant the end, a piece of between 7-10 cm. must be cut. They are possible to be made greater; smaller also, but it is not worth the trouble. They must be cut of inclined way, must stand out the leaves of its base.

Once tenenmos esqueje prepared we left submerged it in water 24h. - 48h., so that it is hydrated. They can be left under the light where you are going them to take root

Soon We applied hormones of taken root of the described way.

We introduce esqueje in taken root means of, and next we watered means. In the wool of rock and fiber of the Coco it must be watered with lukewarm water of between 20º.25º, with pH of 5,8 and one EC of between 0.3-0.5 ms. With single water also they take root, although they tend to yellow a little and soon they recover as soon as they are transplanted. At the outset they require very little food, and when they begin to develop to roots a little more.

A very effective option to stimulate the taken root one is to underneath deposit the rock wool dices in a tray with a clay bed expanded of about two fingers and a water finger. In such a way that when the wool bucket is dried the plant notices that down there is water and that stimulates to develop its roots to him looking for it. If underneath one is located esterilla heating engineer the taken root speed of he is greater.

In very fine crowd or land of seed plot very crushed and spongy, mixed with pearlite, also they take root. We must make a fine Earth hole, with something fine, to introduce the stem and to tighten the Earth of around smoothly so that the clone is left subject.

Irrigation: Esqueje does not have to be always just watered, because it causes that the entrerrado stem rots. Teiene that to cross a cycle of humidity and drought in order that the root looks for the humidity of the bottom of the tiesto. It is necessary to give the right water degree them, only the experience says whatever. Generally every two or three days.

A good system to provide food to the clones is to pulverize with a solution, very very tenuous of installment to foliar, once every two or three days. Normally it goes well to once pulverize them with water to the day, specially the first days, since the lack by roots disables the water absorption to them that route.

Fotoperiodo for esquejes of marijuana:
Esquejes can become to 24h. of light. But it happens that many varieties can bloom when they detect a change to 18h. of light or less. For that reason he is recommendable to do esquejes with fotoperiodo of 18 hours. Esqueje just taken root is young still to put it in period of flowering, and after it is taken root it recommends minimum a vegetative period of how two weeks. It is another reason to do esquejes to 18h. Another solution if it is wanted to accelerate the process is to do esquejes with 24h. and soon to give a period them of growth of also 24h. during ten days like minimum.
It must remember then, that if the plant notices a significant reduction of fotoperiodo enters phase of fñoración. The East Indian detect any change more precociously, while the sativas take a little in realizing more.

Temperature:
The ideal temperature for esquejes is of 24º. The suitable humidity round in winch 70%-80%. A high humidity favors fast taking root

Taken root time of:
In optimal conditions some varieties can take root in only 4 or 5 days, the normal thing is between one week or ten days, but usually they do it in for of weeks. If the roots cannot be observed, esquejes usually is taken root as soon as the superior leaves show clear symptoms of growth.

* Some varieties take root with greater facility.
* The plants with an excess of nitrogen are something more difficult to take root healthful plants are always easier to take root.
