    After you do that, click on each thumbnail pic to enlarge it to it's regular size.



    Then right click on the pic and select properties. hilight the URL of the pic then copy & paste it into your thread.



    Be sure to add img tags (without spaces)

    I always thought the hollow stem was a large xlyem that carried the nutes up the stem. Quite a lot of my plants had them and yeild was always good.

    If you can show real pics of healthy MJ trees growing out of hay bails in the middle of a swamp, that's credible enough for even the most skeptical of us in here! It may even become a part of the FAQ.

    .....Hope the master forgives you? if you're speaking of me, as a person? Dude, your cool with me, I'm no scientist, I never said one unkind word to you, or about you, 'nor did I say you were wrong about anything. :icon_confused:


    As for any negative street cred? well, let me say this; I've never myself handed out negative kharma, to ANYONE, and IF I ever did? I'd be a Man, and OWN that shit :) about once a month? someone likes to hang bad vibes on me, and won't own that shit. :5headache: I don't REALLY care, but I DON'T like the knife in the back from the shadows, either. :pottytrain1: If someone has a question, or concern per something said? then do be a human, and talk it out like, uh, humans? :) I'm so good with that concept.


    If ANYONE hung negative cred on you? well, I'm sorry. I never said you were wrong, 'nor said ANYTHING unkind to you, or about you.


    I'm all about freedom of speech. I jumped on the soap box based on the master thing. If I'm wrong? no bad.


    Peace and Love to you and yours :)

    yeah yeah i know the pics would be great but the swamp grow was done maybe 2 seasons years ago when pics of any girls would have gotten me too paranoid to take--so there are no pics of the swamp grow-- only in my head-just thought maybe id put the info out and let people try if they like?

    well ill just say that years ago i put down bag seed and never paid any attention to stem thickness or if it was hollow --got some fair genetics from a long time grower and started to notice the stems were a bit different in that they were thicker and the tips were more hollow on these than my bag seed girls---now i played alot of breeding attempts and it started to come to light that every time i made a gain in potency the comon factor was always the degree of hollowness in the stems of the parents---off to locate the badest male---grew out perhaps 600 seeds looking for the perfect male--one that got picked was very dark 6 wks into 12/12 and the pollen sacs were very very tightly clustered -- an eye loop showed trics and a cutting showed a very hollow stem--it was the last male to show sex and i used him in a cross with my not so high yeilding but very potent female that showed sex first along with other good check list traits and then crossed again back with this male parent--the fourth backcross was the keeper and to this day i use this plant as my mainstay----im sure a hollow stem isnt the main factor at all but it is in my oppinion a key checklist part in choosing a parent for potentcy---flavor -yeild and what not are other things youll look for in other indicators than hollow stems-i guess perhaps i was just lucky when i found my diamond in the mix of 600 seeds --i hit the genetic lottery a few other times with one being actually too potent and lacking a few key traits like yeild --im still upgrading looking for the real gem--its out there.

    It would make sense that a big hollow stem would be a super highway for the GoGo juice..
