Cannabis seeds

Mary Jane Rathbun, known as Brownie Mary, distributed cannabis brownies to AIDS patients in San Francisco during the 1980s, playing a key role in the legalisation of medical cannabis in California in 1996.
The process requires decarboxylation, heating the ground cannabis at 110-120°C for 30-45 minutes to activate the THC. Dosage is critical as ingested THC is converted in the liver into 11-hydroxy-THC, 2-3 times more potent than when smoked. It is recommended to start with 1-2.5mg for beginners and 10mg as a standard dose.
The preparation consists of making cannabutter by infusing butter with decarboxylated cannabis, then preparing traditional brownies by baking at 175-180°C for 20-30 minutes. The effects take between 30 minutes and 3 hours to appear and last 6-12 hours, being much more intense than smoking.
It is essential to clearly label edibles, keep them out of reach of children and not combine them with alcohol. There is no lethal risk from overdose but the experience can be very unpleasant. Brownies keep for 1 week at room temperature, 2-3 weeks refrigerated or 3 months frozen.

Super cropping is an HST technique that involves crushing and bending a branch without breaking it to control height, level the canopy, and improve light distribution. The plant responds by forming a callus that strengthens the area and encourages lateral growth. It’s best applied during the vegetative stage or early flowering, and it should be avoided if the plant is stressed or in late flowering.

The post explains that to improve cannabis quality and consistency, soil should be treated as a living ecosystem: with more organic matter, permanent cover, less tillage, living roots, and greater diversity to boost microbiology and resilience. It also recommends tracking soil improvement through indicators (carbon, infiltration, structure, pH, etc.) and making a gradual transition, since meaningful changes take time.

Autoflowering plants bloom according to age rather than photoperiod, which means they can be grown in a mother plant cabinet under an 18/6 light cycle without modifying it. They are fast, compact, and sensitive to stress, making them ideal for continuous harvests in small spaces.

In the cabinet, they require good space organization, proper ventilation, full-spectrum LED lighting, and stable temperatures. They should be planted directly in 7–11 L pots with an airy substrate and gentle nutrients. LST is recommended to control height.

Their cycle lasts 70–90 days, and harvest time is determined by observing the trichomes. Common mistakes include transplanting them, pruning them too aggressively, or overcrowding the cabinet.
