Tied to a sliver of bamboo, such as the size of incense is formed on and tied on with what appeared to be a stand of bamboo. Seemed to have a sticky somethin sprayed on it. Maybe opium? LOVELY stuff, but only ran across it that one time which makes me wonder why as the stuff sold for relatively big bux. I still wonder about the genesis of this stuff and why it seemed to just disappear. I know what happened with Lebanese hash.

Re hermaphrodites. Some causes:
Stress - light, heat, water etc
Clones - Any plants grown together in a crop of say 20 or more that are all female,after several crops, one will eventually turn hermaphrodite. It's a natural occuring mutation that ensures the plants survival in the wild.
if you select male and carefully pollinate a pure female, and grow those seeds , it's the best chance you'll have for less hermaphrodites.
As someone already mentioned, it's best to check your plants continuously for male flowers, as with some strains it is quite normal to have one or 2 which need picking off before they produce pollen.

What's the best way of removing all the nasty chemicals of the weed? I can't smoke much more of this shit. And to think of all those poor peeps who used to grow organic who live here now...

PS what, if anything, happened at lake side?

Do you know where the Chinese are growing hemp? It woild be interesting to see.

No idea, sorry. Why not try googling agricultural terms + China/Cambodia maybe come up with something.
