Weed and Teens

Written by thcscout on June 17, 2021. Posted in Facts. No Comments on Weed and Teens

In this video we cover what marijuana is and the effects it has on teenagers. We dive into the long-term cognitive effects for teens, whether they are different for teens vs adults as well as limitations and barriers to research.

This video was made by McMaster Demystifying Medicine students Gurratan Gill, Jiawei Sun, Jiawen (Fred) Deng and Simran Saini.

How to Store Your Cannabis Seeds

Written by thcscout on September 21, 2019. Posted in Seeds. No Comments on How to Store Your Cannabis Seeds

In this video I will be showing you how I and many other growers store cannabis seeds for long term storage. Using these methods should allow you to store healthy cannabis seeds for upwards of ten years, and possibly even longer (we have heard of people germinating their seeds successfully after thirty years using these methods so take that as you will).

As mentioned in the video you could also put your seeds into a fridge but it typically isn’t necessary.

Written by thcscout on June 27, 2018. Posted in Seeds. No Comments on How To Store Cannabis Seeds LONG-TERM + Where My Best Breeders Episode Went

Today on Lex’s World we move on to the next topic when it comes to pot seeds: storing them. Though this video can be applied to any seed. A seed is a storage unit for a finite amount of hormones that are responsible for germination and the key is to keep those hormones from being activated and being wasted.
