Can female marijuana plants cause allergies?

[VagPuncher]

Hello,

I started a grow about 2 weeks ago and have been having crazy allergies every since. Its a DWC grow, all female clones and a charcoal filter.

Could the charcoal filter or clones be causing my allergies?

Its hard to pinpoint as spring is here and all plants outside are also releasing pollen..etc.

Any help would be great.

Yes but normally it's in late flower/harvesting times from the terpenes in the resin of certain plants.
What type of allergies? Filters do tend to be full of charcoal dust brand new, is it in your bedroom?

Hi!

Yes, the grow box is in my walk in closet and it is brand new.

My allergies are a really watery runny nose. Not think snot at all. Almost like water pouring out.

Lots of sneezing.

Itchy, watery eyes.

The plants are only 2 weeks in to veg.

I experience something similar to you. I don't have any answers for you, though. It could just be allergy season. But at times when I break up bud or deal with weed, I get the same symptoms as you. I wouldn't doubt that it's triggering your problems.

Just a thought, but check that they havent hermied on you, it could be stray pollen from the female clones that's giving you the reaction.

Looks like it is Vancouver weather.


April has turned into a particularly cruel month in the seasonal parade of sniffling, sneezing and wheezing of pollen-induced allergy sufferers, according to allergist Dr. Ross Chang.

"This month has been really bad for a lot of people," Chang, president of the B.C. Society of Allergy and Immunology, said in an interview -- the worst he's seen in at least the last five years, owing to the particularly cold March the Lower Mainland endured.

Pollinating plant life, Chang added, senses that its growing season is going to be short, so it sends out a particularly strong burst of seed, which in turn torments seasonal allergy sufferers.

Chang's Burnaby waiting room typically starts to fill with sneezing and sniffling patients in February, as alder and birch trees begin to pollinate, then continues into the spring as grasses add their reproductive efforts to the mix, through the summer as sunshine and pollution intensify the symptoms of patients and on into October.

Chang's message to allergy sufferers is simple: Don't endure your symptoms in silence.

"As allergies get more common, I encourage people not to suffer through it," Chang added, "to see their doctors or come and see us [allergists] and get some help for it, because there are effective treatments available to help them through more comfortably."

Chang added that there is a "whole constellation" of symptoms ranging from sneezing and a runny nose to watery, swollen eyes, itchiness and asthma-like wheezing.

In their extremes, Chang said, symptoms can keep patients away from work, school or simply the recreational activities people tend to enjoy most during the spring and summer, when pollen counts are the highest.

Nor are high pollen counts the only culprit, he pointed out.

Recent studies have shown a correlation between rising levels of air pollution and the severity of symptoms patients suffer.

With rising global temperatures, Chang added, allergists are seeing more patients.

Chang said in the Fraser Valley, the interaction of sunlight with fertilizers used in agriculture is one of the elements that tends to amplify the effects of pollen on allergy sufferers.

"We get a lot of patients from the valley who have a terrible time at this time of year," he added.

I am allergic to female plants that are budding. The doctors thought I had bronchitis but after 8 months of coughing blood and quitting smoking and vaping I still get all congested when the buds are almost ready. I have n indoor medical grow with 6 mature plants. I had every test done and I am healthy except for pot allergies. Its really a bummer because I have some of the best cotton candy and o g kush. One good thing about it is that I can eat it in chocolate because it gets you higher and edibles are a bronchial dialator. So it causes my allergies but helps it too.
