6) the temperature, crucial factor of the culture to opened sky, is another chapter in hidroponía of interiors. The plants are developed optimally between 22 and 24 degrees, but they admit - without suffering that the atmosphere descends up to 15 during the dark, and it even rises up to 32 and 38 in the phase of maximum heat.
Safe in frozen zones, the culture of interiors (it is in a cellar, an attic or any other room) will have few problems, due to the insulating conditions of the building and the added heat of lamps HID. Evidently, if it is too much cold will be precise to add to the room a stove. Superior problems can offer an attic in summer - because to generate cold it is enough more expensive than to generate heat -, but always it is possible to interrupt the culture during the dog days, or to agree to the air conditioner. The only thing surely is that the yield is reduced progressively, as the temperature leaves the ideal margin of 22-24 degrees; although to lower until the 10 is harder for the plant that to undergo a 30-32 average, both things would have to be avoided.
Professional cultivators, and perfeccionistas, use frío/calor thermostats, that shoot to a thing or another one according to agrees, maintaining different regimes for the day and the night (which saves electrical energy. Humidificadores and automated deshumidificadores also use as, to conserve a humidity margin next to 50-60 %, that they stimulate the sweating of the plants and prevent the development with fungi. Nevertheless, he is enough cheaper to buy a simple hygrometer, and to increase to the humidity with a water bucket or several, depending as large as the cultivated quarter. The excess of humidity is less frequent, because as much the ventilator as lamps HID dry the air, but the excessive humidity must be fought to avoid soon - in the phase of flowering, when the plants have grown to the maximum, and absorb much water the use of fungicidas.
For the inexperienced cultivator, the most concrete problem will consist of choosing well its seeds, because moving in closed spaces it needs plants as homogenous size as it is possible; if they grow a meter more than others, it will be impossible to use of even-tempered way the vertical light, and to be avoided quarters of high ceiling many professionals prefer unit of small size (type big bud, swiss and others), although their yield in THC is something smaller also.
These brief indications on hidropónico culture are completed with a mention to the clones, that have special importance when the plant is not hermafrodita, and the cultivator looks for either male or females. The case is specially critical in the matter of hemp, because the proportion of THC presents/displays in the feminine inflorescencias is incomparably more discharge. If the cultivator does not look for a bank of seeds, he will take the males as soon as are appearing. But the seeds of high quality - super-skunk type, northern lights, to silver pearl, purple haze, hawaiian indicates, big bud, jack to herer and others are expensive (up to 6 or 10 dollars by unit, which they can arrive at the 30 for the AK 47, able to appear and to take shelter in half of time that others), and - except for excepciones³ -- it cannot be known to prioi how many plants will produce of each sex. The then ideal is to be able to reproduce the sex wished by means of esquejes, freeing the agriculturist of plants as much polinizadas as to acquire seeds for each new sowing.
On the other hand, the reproduction by means of esquejes - clonación- is enough more difficult in certain plants (like the hemp, for example) that the germination. Any pruning and later sowing done to these aims suppose to turn a ramification equipped with leaves in which it must develop to a raiz, modifying all his quimismo, and a similar change has more probabilities of fructifying in phase of growth that in phase of flowering. For that reason the experts have a second space or enclosure adapted to the obtaining of clones, because the root process is slower (of one to four weeks), demands a quite superior humidity (next to 80 %), and he verifies himself more good beginning with fluorescent of high productivity (during 24 hours) that with lamps HID. In fact, everything is more delicate in that case, from the ventilation to the excess of irrigation. Although a good store of gardening will have gelatins and specific nutrients to facilitate the clonación process, only experience and good luck will ensure the success the company.
For a reason or purpose generic, we suppose that of a plant some separate esquejes, taking care of to halfway cut between two knots or yolks, with affluent scissors sharpened and following an angle of 45 degrees.
Each esqueje will have several leaves, that at least partly will have to again prune, because one or two yolks must be under the surface, and other two superficially. As they are obtained, esquejes must submerge in a lukewarm water glass, to avoid that an air bubble lodges in the very small hole of the stem and blocks the sweating current, because if it happens such thing will perish in 24 hours. After noon of the dark, seconds with some hormone of raiz become damp or grease (according to he is liquid or solid the product) - available in gardening stores and thickness rockwool of and sufficient depth stand on, where with a pencil or analogous thing we have before made an orifice adapted to its diameter and length. The immediate thing is to water with solution a smooth B1 vitamin.
From that moment it will agree to maintain all esqueje with lukewarm water humid, calculating that not yet are roots able to provide water to the stem. If the clonación has worked, after one week or something plus the ends of the leaves they will yellow, a raiz will be developed and esqueje will begin to grow upwards. The resulting plant will be I trace of its plant mother.
A last aspect - widely debated today between cultivators hidropónicos- it is if to completely do without organic grounds and solar light it produces better plants in all senses. The organicistic sector denies it, of course, alleging that hidroponía pure creates variants of extraordinary psicoactividad, although rougher paladar. Meetings of high agronómico level, celebrated in Holland under the auspices of the company (Cannabis in Amsterdam), HMM (Hash-Marihuana Museum) and DPH (Drugs Peace House), have ended up looking oneself very many like congresses of enólogos and wine tasters, where the biomarihuana prevails by narrow margins.
Two things seem unquestionable: 1) that all the present variants come from a single hibridada plant, that was cultivated in interiors; 2) which the reason to cultivate "cybernetic" cannot be attributed to the cultivators, but to the legal regime in vigor. The customer wished powerful hemp, the police hindered its production to opened sky, and the result is at sight. To have flowers that reach to 14 % of THC - of which the hashish can take control most powerful, as dutch- is a direct consequence of the prohibition.
In spite of the prohibition, a convergence of cannabinófilo with gourmet is observed already in the United States and Holland. Denominations of origin - like Burgundy, Bordeaux, Alsacia, Rioja, Albariño or Chianti- they are equivalent to hidropónicas stocks, that - cultivated or on earth do not compete like own musts, taking care of prices, flavors and textures. If the power of the spirits were the decisive thing, everybody would be drinking absenta and other brandies next to the 70 degrees, not to say pure alcohol. The same it is possible to think of the marijuana and the hashish, in case that they left the black market.
Be that as it may, genetic engineering and the hidropónico culture have been opening to horizons, creating unthinkable varieties for hardly one decade. The banks of seeds are, open there to any innovation. The aspiring to the self-sufficiency only must obtain good simientes, prepare his equipment and bury them one to one in the hair of Pele that today are called rockwool, rock wool. Clandestine priests of the Démeter goddess took care of - and take care of of which that act fructifies.
Notes
1. The gold rule to determine possible excesses is to divide by the 220 (or 110, there where empleee that current) watts total consumed by each circuit, knowing that from 80% of his capacity there is overload. If the circuit has a fuse of 15 amperes, and in the room or rooms that cover are three light bulbs of 100 watts, plate of a 1,200 and one radio of 20, the 1,520 watts divided by 220 give 6.9 amperior: there is no overload; it is possible to add a lamp HID of 1,000 watts, for example, because the saturation of that circuit begins from 12 amperes, and they are not used more than 11.
2. By the others, this material is so toxic for the lungs as the asbestos, whenever he is dry, and for that reason it comes surrounded in plastic. When flooding it - making it manageable and innocuous it will agree that the cultivator uses a very slight solution of the nutrients to use, before depositing the seeds there.
3. In effect, some manufacturers make a preselection, and practically all their seeds will leave females. Is the case with northern ligths/haze 5, interpalm and usually herer.
