grow info needed

I had a male plant in my grow room can the pollen live and infect my next grow and why are my buds not sticky I mean not at all

Well weedhopper time to read about how MJ reproduces

Spraying the tent surfaces with water will kill off any pollen left hanging around. Non-stick buds can happen because of genetics or grow conditions. Some varieties don't get sticky at all if they've been pollinated early. A few will get sticky anyway like the Crockett's Tangie I grew last year. I didn't get super frosty weed until I invested in quality grow lights and discovered what worm castings will do in coco and soil grows.

thanks I do use worm castings just never had nonsticky plants I'll see what happens after the cure

UndergroundFarmer Can you elaborate on how you have used worm castings in a coco/perlite hydro grow? I want to experiment with it. In a 3 gallon bag, what dose and how to apply? Apply on top, make a tea, at what stage of growth?

Well I thought this question was familiar, I found your answer on a different thread. Thanks for the info!

The "stickiness" of your herb is going to depend greatly on the genetics. For some interesting backstory about why our weed was so much stickier back in the 1980's I suggest watching this:

Speaking of genetics: these two pictures show the difference I have experienced between "bagseed" that I have no idea where it came from or what it was, and some really superb, proofed genetics I got from a seed bank in California:

Sorry, it's been a weird week. For that size, about 6 tbsp top-dressed. Just scratch it in to the top layer before you water.

And now I see your edit.

Making a tea isn't a bad option either if plants are showing deficiencies and need help fast.

They don't need help, I was looking for something to give them a good kick of growth, something to improve on.
