Cannabelle's Kapakahi 420 Companion Triad Grow
Pardon my dust.
I'm constructing a thread for my first kapakahi cannabis companion triad grow journal.
Pardon my dust.
I'm constructing a thread for my first kapakahi cannabis companion triad grow journal.
Kapakahi is Hawaiian slang for twisted, unorganized, WTF is she doing?!?
Warning: My grow is tainted by 40+ years as a bonsai enthusiast (learned from my Asian grandmother) and ethno botany studies. Please ask questions if I go all nerdy, Hawaiian, Chinese or Japanese and make no sense whatsoever other than to myself.
Hopefully, I'll be showing how I grow bonsai cannabis and green bunching onions together with mushrooms. Sounds cool, eh?
I grow on the cheap and don't exactly follow directions or meters. Something about my body chemistry and electricity throws off the sensor probes in EC/PPM/CF/TDS monitors. I just know my tap water runs 6.9-7.0 PH. I give-up spending money on monitors that go whacky after one reading. So I'll demonstrate how to monitor green bunching onions and cannabis leaves for changes in the rhizosphere instead.
Cannabis partners to be grown:
2 The Widow feminized seedlings from Feminized Seeds
4 Quin-N-Tonic regular (apple treated) seedlings from La Plata Labs
1 Blue Blood feminized clone from Medicann
Assorted hemp and hemp crossed seedlings

No Air Filtration Neccessary:
The alliums and glomus somehow tame the odor released by the terpenes in the trichomes. However, the resins will still stink on your fingers. Alliums have been used for centuries by rose growers to improve the scent of perfume roses. Cannabis is in the order Rosales, just like roses. I deduce that the myrcene terpene in cannabis is stimulated somehow by the alliums in the rhizosphere. Synthetic myrcene is also used by the perfume industry as an intermediary to improve the fragrance of citrus and purple fragrances.
Meanwhile, both cannabis and bunching green onions share a specific relationship with Glomus mycorrhizal fungi. Put the three partners together, and an amazing triad bond is formed.
I need a real lab to investigate this phenomena in more detail.
