Good Morning :) Snoop seems to be entering the flowering phase 🙌🏻👏🎊 The white ‘hairs’ are actually called Pistils , and they are the primary reproductive organ of the female cannabis plant. Pistils actually act like little fingers, their job is to catch the airborne pollen of the male cannabis plant. This would allow the plant to make seeds( or babies). However, I have an auto flowering female cannabis plant. That means the pistils will not catch pollen to create seeds, but instead- the plant will create dense buds . This is the first time I have ever grown cannabis. A purchased 5 seeds. I germinated one of the seeds (using the paper towel method)- popped it in a 5 gallon bucket- and threw it under the sun. My plant isn’t perfect, my setup isn’t perfect- my care is certainly not perfect. But I’m happy I tried. And she seems like she will definitely produce. It is very easy to get discouraged with plants, especially one like cannabis. It’s easy to get into your head from things you’ve read that just tell you it’s too hard- but you’ll never know if you don’t try. I have a fun experiment/ group effort idea: Starting next week- I would love each one you (whoever sees this post and maybe whoever else you want to tag) to find a plant that you thought was to hard to take care of. If you buy a whole plant, a cutting, a corm, ect- it doesn’t matter. As long as you found it difficult to take care of at some point. Let’s give it another shot. All together, we can take care of our “crazy hard” plants. And we can all enjoy the updates that come through this thread, (I’m positive it will read ALOT of success). Because YOU can do anything. No such thing as too hard! And you may not need an elaborate setup or plan 🤷‍♂️ I can make a seperate post with tags if anybody is interested. Anyways, have an amazing Sunday. PS: I am over the legal age of 21. Cannabis planting/ growing/ smoking/ buying ect is LEGAL recreationally and medically in the state of NY. DO NOT engage with this post if Underage. As always, check YOUR states rules and regulations around Cannabis before saying something to me if you're angry. The laws vary by state. And lastly, this post IS allowed on Greg. They have the plant in their inventory. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #MonsteraMonday

Hello plant friends ✨🌿💛 A Thursday #TheWateringHole Appreciation Post for my dear Hoya sp. aff. burtoniae. I don’t care that you can get him anywhere, I think you SHOULD go get him. In fact, your task, should you choose to accept it, is to go out and find yourself one, after reading this post. He is my favorite. 🤫🤐 Hoya sp. aff. burtoniae is sold and often mislabeled under many names: -Hoya burtoniae (unless you’re ordering from a collector/reputable dealer who has a ‘true’ species burtoniae, most likely if you’re getting this plant in the commercial US market, it will be “Hoya sp. aff. burtoniae.” Which means an unnamed species that looks quite similar to the actual burtoniae.) -H. DS-70 -H. bilobata (real bilobata will have smooth leaves) -H. tsangii (same, true tsangii has smooth leaves) But my dear beloved sp. aff. burtoniae (and the true burtoniae) have leaves like velvet suede. A truly pet-able, emotional support hoya. Even my siblings (who are not as flora-philic as I am) dropped their mouths open in awe as they touched his leaves. His baby leaves, and he has MANY at all times, come out an adorable rose-mauve pink color. 🥹🥰💀 Right now he has two peduncles and I am waiting with bated breath to see them open. Supposed to be a butterscotch/caramel-y scent and I just cannot wait!! And, oh my gosh it’s the 27th! I kid you not, I just realized that today is his ONE year anniversary of coming to his forever home 😱😭🎂🥳🎊 He is The One who started me on my hoya journey, exactly one year ago today. 🥹 My first hoya and *still* my favorite, even though he’s now joined by 40 or so hoya siblings and relations. Gotta catch em all! And really, 40 out of 700 possible hoya species and cultivars is quite a low number. In the grand scheme of things. 🙂‍↕️ ⏱️Want to be notified of these posts when they come out?
