You may be tempted to answer the soil, but in fact, most of its mass comes from the air. A tree
- [Edibles, and Medicated Treats; A Discussion](https://themodern.farm/edibles/) - Let's discuss edibles, as despite cannabis use continuing to rise, the general knowledge on edibles has been very lacking. Processing You probably don't want your treats to taste of plant matter, chlorophyll being a quite bitter and nasty flavor. To avoid this we collect the trichomes, or else the cannabinoids themselves from the buds before
- [Introduction & Basic Concepts of Probiotic Growing](https://themodern.farm/intro/) - I've recently realised it can take a lot of reading, searching, and other hard work to even begin to understand this subject. Whether it's called probiotic / biointensive / no-till growing it can all be daunting, especially if it's your medicine or livelihood on the line. So, in an effort to ease that, I've written this short introduction into the topic. If anything's

Let's talk about harpin proteins. What's everyone's thoughts? I've tried them, they're really rather interesting; especially when considering SAR vs Jasmonic response. Most of the response the plant shows after

"In the type IV glands of the related species Solanum pennellii (previously Lycopersicon pennellii), as well as in many other Solanaceae species, including tobacco, Datura and Petunia spp., glucose and sucrose are acylated with 3–4 acyl groups of both straight and branched

Rock Dust & Remineralization If you're coming into organic growing and perhaps done a bit of light reading, you've likely noticed the term remineralization in many of your sources. If you haven't, remineralization is the utilization of rock dust in your soil to provide a slow release of
- [Why Cannabis Grown with the Addition of LAB May Produce a Superior High](https://themodern.farm/why/) - Hypothesis: Mode of Actions for the increased trichome / calyx ratio, increased terpene content, and how this might affect our perception as to the potency of probiotically grown cannabis. My current hypothesis as to why cannabis grown in a system that utilizes homemade LAB (lactobacillus serum), produces a perceivable increase in potency when compared to non-probiotic cannabis. The LAB in question should

- [Why Cannabis Grown with the Addition of LAB Might Produce a Superior High](https://themodern.farm/why/) - As an organic gardener, and a guy who generally can't resist reading into why things happen, I'd started using LABS (Lactic Acid Bacteria Serum) in the garden soon after I began learning of its benefits. When greenhouse tomatoes were grown with the addition of a blend of humic fertilizer, produced from vermicompost, and bio-fertilizer, containing Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus
