Dear
Dr Hemp,
My plant is
about 4 feet and budding nicely, but there are no crystals on it. So how do I
make it form crystals before the first frost comes?
Regards,
MRivers. |
Dear
MRivers,
The only way of doing
this is to cover the buds in clear plastic bags, securing these to the branch
with elastic bands or some string, as rain and wind are likely to wash away any
THC that is formed. Using straw and horticultural fleece will also prevent some
of the early frosts and prolong the flowering time of your plant.
Good
luck and send us a sample.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I am a regular
caner and think that there should be more bong and shotty pics on your website
as there is none. A lot of Totnes gets caned with bongs/shotties, apart from
all of the old hippies who are happy with their homegrown spliffs. Why was
there a drought in the summer?
Why is there so much gak bar around at
the moment? When can I get proper super-skunk?

Dear
DJ Roo,
Are you sure
you're not a member of the Totnes Wine and Ale
Tasting Society aka TWATS as well as the Totnes
Herb Crew?
Do shotty pics turn you on? Strange
man.
What drought?
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Does hydro have
seeds? I never thought it did but someone is trying to pass off this seedy weed
as hydro.
Thank you and I think your answers to some questions are very
clever and funny.
Confused,
Stef. |
Dear
Stef,
Yes, even hydro can
have seeds in it, though it is uncommon as most people who try to grow cannabis
this way take greater care in growing than your average "throw it in a pot and
let's see what happens" type and are far more likely to grow from good F1
stock. Still, even the best grower can have a hermaphrodite in the room, by
which time it's too late. Then again your dealer could be full of ****. Who
knows?.

Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I am a bit
stupid and would like to know whether it is possible to smoke cannabis without
tobacco.
Thanx dude,
Sk8ter UK.
P.S. What do you do to
mushrooms when you get them? I thought they were poisonous. |
Dear
Sk8ter UK,
Yes it is possible
to smoke cannabis without tobacco and you'll probably find you get a much
better hit this way.
I would get a good mushroom guide before trying
magic mushrooms, though Liberty Caps are easy to distinguish once you know what
they look like! You can eat them raw or make some nice mushroom
tea.

Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Are there any
chemicals in a work environment making all different types of glues that can
cause someone to test positive for marijuana after not smoking it for four
months?
Sincerely,
Cajundog. |
Dear
Cajundog,
There are similarities
between glue and soap bar, but that's as far as it
goes.

Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I'm skint at
the moment. Are there any household herbs that I can smoke that will get me
high?

Dear
Skint Nicno 1,
You could
try drying out banana skins on the radiator, which are excellent. I'm not sure
why there aren't more people doing it! It's a shock that the sale of bananas
hasn't been stopped yet, though perhaps the government will ban them if enough
banana skins are found drying on radiators around the country.
Tea bags
are great too (though not PG Tips, as the tannin content far outweighs the
THC), one of my favourite being an Earl Grey/Darjeeling mix that
rocks.
Hope this doesn't sound too much like bullshit.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Wulfenhore,
Yes it is
possible to expand weed by making it bigger.

Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Hey man, great
site. I'm from America and I see a lot of questions on your page about smoking
pot with tobacco. I have never heard of anyone doing that here and I was
wondering why anyone would want to do that. I've never done it and I just want
to know what it does?
Thanks man,
Restless Cowboy. |
Dear
Restless Cowboy,
Sadly in
Great Britain cannabis is usually smoked in spliffs with tobacco. I am not one
of them, as I do not smoke tobacco and therefore can be considerably more pious
than most.
This country is full of weak willed namby pamby tobacco
addicts who deserve to be killed in slow and unpleasant ways, like tobacco
poisoning! Ha!
That's justice for you!
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Bob,,
Thanks on filling us in on
P.O.D.
My advice is to pick P.O.D. up off of the floor and get him
stoned instead.

Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I've been
drying out my crop and guess what? It got too dry! Is there a safe way to
re-hydrate it without getting it mouldy, or should I bake it into brownies? I
want to get the most out of my babies, but I fear all is lost, what can I
do?
They are brittle, but aren't turning into dust when I touch them,
but they are pretty dry. I had too much heat in the drying room. Maybe can I
let a humidifier into the room and let them hang, or leave on the floor? How
will I know when they are saturated?
Thanks,
Joe Kilday. |
Dear
Joe,
Unless you have dried
out your crop in the oven, then it is likely that your crop is all right.
Cannabis should be dried fully and then you should let enough moisture in to
hold the buds together.
Maybe it is that you are used to damp weed! Try
leaving them in a container with a fresh lettuce leaf or just smoke the
fuckers. By the way, hash brownies are a good idea, as I know at the moment and
you'll get much more stoned!
If you are still unsure then throw it in
the bin and start again, or send it to us and we'll let you know whether it's
any good or not. Honest!
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
If my system
has been clean for ten months, how long would one hit of weed stay in my
system?
Best,
AJ. |
Dear
AJ,
For about 72 hours if you are
telling us the truth. Obviously the bigger the hit the longer it will stay in
your system (up to 90 days for a regular user). You could try smoking "soap
bar" as the THC content is so small that it is almost legal! Anyway, who can go
without for 10 months? Is your job that good?
Alternatively get yourself
some instant powdered piss or a detoxification formula from
Test Clear to guarantee you
pass that drugs test. What they don't know won't hurt
them!

Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I live in
Oregon and I was wondering what exactly is the difference between a hemp plant
and a cannabis plant, and how can you tell the difference? Also, I have a
killer homemade bong, but my friends say I should get a glass blown. Is there
any difference? One last thing: to cool smoke from a bong with ice cubes, where
do you put the cubes?
Thanks a bunch,
Nick. |
Dear
Nick,
The two plants are one and
the same. However, hemp is normally a term used for industrial plants and is
very good for rope; the other is good for dope. Dope!
To cool smoke from
a bong with ice cubes, you put the cubes is the reservoir with the water. Where
the fuck did you think you put them?
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I'm an avid pot
smoker of 4 years or so and lately I've been buying in bigger quantity than
ever before. A month ago I bought a nice big fat ounce and have been smoking it
fairly sparingly. One month later I still have about 1/20th left. What I was
wondering is if the weed will remain good over long periods of time or is there
the chance that it could "go bad" or become in any way less potent as a result
of time passing.
Thanks,
Steven. |
Dear
Steven,
Yes cannabis can go off
over time, especially if stored incorrectly. My advice is to only buy what you
need for a month or so. Further advice would be to grow your own and leave the
black market to them that want it.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Can you please
not post my email address. My question is does milk really help a plant grow
better? I have been told it does and it doesn't. I just want to know if you
have ever heard of doing this?
Thanks,
Fox 420. |
Dear
Fox 420,
Don't
put fucking milk in the water for the plants, as it creates mould and fucks the
roots up and then it dies.
Don't worry about publishing your e-mail
address, we don't publish e-mails if it is clearly stated on the question that
you don't wish us to do this. However, to those of you who ask us to remove
their e-mail after we have published a reply to a question, perhaps it might be
useful if you ask us to do this in the original question, rather than getting
shitty with us after the letter has been published on the web
site.
Also, while we're on the subject, kids who use their parents'
e-mail might want to set up a Hotmail e-mail address if they do not wish their parents to
know about their pot smoking activities. It will also mean that we won't have
to deal with e-mails from irate parents who are pissed off at having their name
and e-mail published on our web site.

Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I want to grow
purple haze in my wardrobe, I can move it to a bigger place once it grows
bigger, but I can only use a 100w bulb because a 400w grow bulb would probably
burn the stuff around it and my parents would notice the smell. Is this okay?
Do I need to cover the sides with tin foil to reflect the light? And if I do
use a 100w bulb how long will it take before I can get a harvest?
Thanks,
Faze. |
Dear
Faze,
Purple haze is grass
that is calcium deficient; it has been specially created by careful
fertilization and can get you right fucking faced.
Try a 250w sodium
bulb; it should take about 12 weeks to mature and please send me a sample if
you get a good crop.
Keep watering the plant until you see water coming
out of the bottom of the pots and then stop and leave for 2 - 3 days before
checking the soil to see if it needs watering again. Basically it will need
watering every 2 - 4 days and it's good to let the soil dry out a bit, but not
too much; you can use your finger to see how dry the soil is.
Tin foil
may help the problem you have with your parents, as should joss sticks and air
fresheners (not too close to the plants). However, have you considered leaving
home, you'll have a wicked time and much more fun than you'll ever
know!
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I have a
healthy young plant. It's about three weeks old. When can I smoke the damn
thing?
Thanks,
Steven Dugdale. |
Dear
Steven,
Well if it is a
healthy young plant, help it to mature into a plethora of blistering colas and
then smoke the fucker!
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
