I don't know the answer for 3 but I thought I was when a plant hit's a growth spurt at the end of flower to make a last effort to produce seed's.I don't know to be honest.

Keep more answers coming. There seems to be many different ideas here. It means one thing. Bolting.

Bolting has occurred in my current lettuce crop, this means that the plant has flowered before producing a lot of leaf, the plants are a lot smaller and don't yield as well but let's just say our next lettuce crop is on the way when the seeds knock off early.

In terms of cannabis, this can actually be advantageous for us during a Spring crop, we wish to get them to flower prematurely in order to get a crop in before the June solstice, since the flowers are what we're after (usually not the raw leaf), we can obtain small harvests of high quality early on in summer because of bolting as seen with some of my Blackberry plants

That's not fair, you have first hand experience with bolting!
Hehe hehe

By now everyone should have been able to look it up on wiki like I did.

QUESTION FOUR

Question 4

Do you do every watering with molasses, or once a week? And is too much molasses treatment bad for soil?

 

[slowgro]

Lester's lettuce is just what I think bolting means.

 

[toker69]

Prematurely produce a flowering stem in a natural attempt to produce seeds.

In cannabis It may be referring to the plants tendency to hermie.

 

[TrysHard]

Are all the questions for soil growers?

 

[Hiddenkoncept]

Once and week and yes...I don't k ow why as I have never grown soil

 

[Jimmy6000]

I don't know for 3 but if RL has experianced it first hand then what can I say.lol

Question #3


3) Bolting is when a plant late in flower begins to reproduce by making its own seed. When a cannabis plant bolts late in flower it begins to produce yellow banana shaped pollen sacks from the buds containing female pollen that may be used to produce feminized seeds.

 

[Lester Freeman]

Q4 Too much molasses is certainly a possibility which could lower overall Brix levels of the plant. We need a balanced system between the bacteria and the sugars that are driving them at the root zone. If the concentration of sugars are too high at the root zone, than the over all efficiency of the bacteria will be lowered, Hence a lowered Brix level, which really could be a slight decrease in quality, and increased vulnerability to pests.

 

[GardenFaerie]

It's a tie for me between Trichomes and RL because RL was correct, but the reason why plants bolt is due in great part to heat. Cool weather plants like lettuce are limited to how long the temperatures remain under 70 degrees. The plant in order to survive will send up an immediate spike with flowers and set seed, rendering the food plant very bitter and inedible.

So who answered correctly? Tie, I say.

 

[Lady Cannafan]

Who was the first answer about the plant over flowering and producing seeds for survival?

Are all the questions for soil growers?

You were the only hydro grower Who PMed us a question.

 

[Hiddenkoncept]

Who was the first answer about the plant over flowering and producing seeds for survival?

Me I think

But the all had close answers and they had more Info

Ok
