took down my 5 footer just earlier today after procrastonating for days over when i should actually chop her! I decided that she wasn't going to get any better and out came the seceteurs. since it's my first harvest....i thought that the roots would have gone wide and deep but they were very localised, I actually pulled the base out of the ground with surprising ease. anyway I have some juicy pics for you all. bare in mind that this was a small, untopped plant that was slow growing from the get go. never really bushed out at all, only 2 other stems and one of them was about 1/4 the size of the main stem...which i chopped last week for a friend. weighing in at 60gram…

Today was a pain in the arse with my back fence neighbours, I noticed them lookin in the garden and i spied on them, obviously they noticed the big girls so when they left I went into sort of panic mode...at first i tried to tie them down a bit but it wasn't enough! I had to make the decision to chop half of her down to size so it stayed below the rest of the bushes, the other one is just too beautiful to chop yet so i'll leave her for now. There wasn't much bud on this one...but it seems to have been a crap bagseed variety, it was slow on the uptake and buds are barely dense. here is the result, kind of dissapointed based on the reaction from the other plants so far …

This morning mum was a bit fed up with the bushes, and the height i let them reach, about 10 feet tall, basically i could stretch my arm up over my head and touch the top haha, so I was sorta forced to chop the tops of the bushes, it's a shame cos there was some nice pistil development happening on some areas, still it was early in the flowering season. So just now I grabbed all the cuttings and trimmed all the leaf off and are now in 2 zip lock bags in the freezer, weighing in at 8oz or 210 grams, I know that they're pre-harvest so they won't have all the qualities of harvest trim but I am just wondering what i should do with it all..I guess i could make some butter, s…

hi all.. firstly, i hope ever1 had a good xmas and a mindbending new year.. alrighty then, after 8 weeks in flower i think i am very close to my 1st harvest and am not quite sure exactly when i should .. ive put in some pics so i hope they come out clear enough.. most of the hairs are now red but some of the buds are still abit skanky looking and could probly fatten up a bit more.. so my questions are, 1. do they look ready? and 2, if most are ready and some of the lower buds are still not quite done, is it cool to cut off whats ready and leave the rest to continue or should i just sacrifice those buds are pull the whole thing out, as i will be flushing for a week…

ive got some bud thats quite moist.. it isnt mine, but the person who bought it obviously got ripped, my question is how long have i got until mould starts to grow? although the smoke was incredible, it's a strong indica. EDIT: just realised this is in the wrong forum.. apologies for that. also: since this is the first time ive come across wet bud, is it normal for it to be sticky?

Hi again........... I have a question now regarding Flavouring Buds....... I read a post awhile back where a guy put orange peels in the jar with the buds........ Does this really permantly INFUSE the buds with an orange smell ? what i mean is, they may smell like orange whilst the peel is in the jar with them, but say after a few weeks you take all the buds out and put them in a new clean jar that hasnt ever had any orange peel in it, will the buds stay smelling like orange or will it fade after a while ? Also, could you use vanilla pods to flavour the buds like vanilla ? i love the smell of fresh vanilla pod.... cheers Jason

Hey all, just curious to know about leaf for making butter and all that stuff... is there a particular time to harvest your leaf or do you just take it all (from the whole bush) when you harvest your buds? if you harvested at another time would the leaf still contain the same amount as harvest time? also...how much leaf do you need to get any benefit for extraction?? like how much leaf will produce "x" millilitres or grams etc... since getting into growing over the last few months i've been keen to learn alot, I know that leaf smoke is shyte but for extracting purposes has it's uses. I would like to cook with it just for experience:)

OK ,, High Grade Seed stock again I have 2 plants ,, one is producing skinny Resin laden buds and one has colas the size of ya fore arm . How long does NL#5 usually take to finish ? I am on my 8th week and the Fore Arm buds arent even looking like finishing The skinny ones , are also looking a fair way off finishing . Not even any brown hairs yet Anyone else grown this Variety ? How long till she is finished ? After this grow , I am going back to my bagseed stock ,.,. much quicker finishing times ,, and much better yields Seems like I got a load of Sativa seeds that would be better suited to outdoor growing rather than indoors

Hey guys Just wanted to know a few things. If i pollenate a female plant, approximatley how many seeds would i get from, say a 1.5 meter sativa plant that had roughly 250 grams of bud? How much would the seeds impact on the final harvest, in weight? One more thing, if you grow high-quality seeds, are you guaranteed to get more high-quality seeds at harvest time? Thanks guys. Peace

Hey brothers My very first grow and 10 seeds became 7 seedlings and, 9 days into flowering it's clear I have 5 males and 2 females (see images). I've taken the boys out of the grow room and put them outside. Strain is Hollands Hope which is supposed to be good for outdoor growing anyway so they'll probably continue to do well. They've come out of 12/12 under 600W HPS and sunrise to sunset here in Adelaide is a bit over 13 hours and increasing as we head into Summer. My question: Do I just trash the males and say 'ce la vie' or can I get any high from them? I have a vaporizer on the way so I was wondering if that could eke out any goodness. If no value then it'…

Hey guys Has anyone had any good experience with cross-pollinating high grade seed strains from seed banks? Friend has a few good strains(kali mist, ak-47, chronic), and was wondering if it would be a good idea to cross them? Are there any guidelines one must follow in this process, for example, because the kali mist is heavy sativa, am i correct in thinking that it would not be good to mix with a heavy indica strain like chronic? Peace

So, i need to hide the harvest from my brother and have been contemplating putting it all on a flyscreen and put it up in the roof cavity, now obviously it will be suspended coz i want good flow on it and i even have power up there to hook up a fan. The problem is that my insulation looks pretty light and its just kinda scattered everywhere, there hasnt been much of a gathering of dust on the other stuff stored up there so im wondering if you think that having it close to whatever particulates might be in the air and whether or not adding airflow will be an issue too, Cheers
