Afghan Skunk Strain FAQ
How to easily identify male cannabis plants from females?
Cannabis plants are dioecious, meaning that they have separate male and female plants. While both sexes are needed for reproduction, only female plants produce the buds prized by growers. As a result, most growers choose to remove the males from their gardens before they have a chance to pollinate the females. But how can you tell the difference between a male and a female plant? The easiest way is to look for pre-flowers, which are small flower-like structures that appear at the base of the leaves. Male pre-flowers will have small balls in clusters, while female pre-flowers will have a pistil (a small stalk) with tiny hairs. By closely inspecting the pre-flowers, you can quickly and easily determine the sex of your cannabis plants and weed the males out of the grow area if you are growing for sensimilla or buds from unpollinated females.
Are feminized seeds 100% guaranteed not to produce male cannabis plants?
No cannabis gardener wants to waste time and effort growing a crop only to find out that it’s male. Fortunately, feminized cannabis seeds can provide near-guaranteed insurance against this problem. Feminized seeds are produced using a special process that involves stress-inducing the female parent plant until it produces pollen. The pollen is then used to pollinate another female plant, resulting in the creation of feminized seeds. These seeds have a high chance of germinating into female plants, which is why they’re so popular with growers. However, it’s important to note that there’s no such thing as a 100% guaranteed feminized seed. Though the chances are very slim, it’s still possible for a masculinizing mutation to occur, resulting in a male plant. For this reason, growers should always be prepared to deal with the possibility of males in their crops.
What are the benefits of Sea of Green, and how to use it in small bushy cannabis strains like Afghan Skunk?
The benefits of Sea of Green, or SOG, are many. For one, it allows growers to produce a large quantity of buds in a shorter amount of time. In addition, SOG helps increase yields by maximizing the use of available light and space. Finally, SOG can also help to improve the quality of buds by promoting even growth and ensuring that all flowers receive an equal amount of light. When growing cannabis using the SOG method, starting with small plants is essential. This ensures that each plant has enough space to develop a robust root system. In addition, it is vital to keep the plants well-watered and to provide them with plenty of ventilation.
Once you have already chosen a strain, Afghan Skunk perhaps, the first step to applying the Sea of Green method is to grow several plants of this strain in small pots. The plants should be kept at a uniform height, and they should be spaced evenly spaced apart but close together. Once the plants already have 4 to 6 pairs of leaves, you will need to top them. This involves cutting off the main shoot, which encourages the plants to branch out and create a canopy or sea of vegetation. You may flip the plants to flowering when they reach a height of about 6 inches, then, they should be left to grow and bloom.By following these simple tips, growers can enjoy all the benefits that SOG offers.
