Unknown Bagseed, in Scott's Potting Soil - vegged 8 weeks under 324w CFL (actual), flowered 7.5 weeks under 400w HPS.
Finally - my first plant made it to harvest! I know it isn't a lot - but man, she made it alive, I got some, I grew it myself! There was a lot more trim than I expected - but then, she had a lot of little tiny popcorn buds down all her stems. Keeping the stems too, gonna chop 'em up and try for butter. Waste not want not!
Anywho - I am sooooo very glad I harvested her today, there was one pollen sack, buried halfway into a bud - and he was ripe, boy as soon as I cut it out it poofed pollen at me. Glad he didn't open in my flowering room.
Interesting to note - from everything I've read here, I really expected my bud to smell like lawn clippings, or hay, at the very least. But it didn't - it smelled like grapefruit! I mean the cut stems, leaves, scissors, my hands - everything smelled like I spent a day fingering grapefruit peels. Wierd, huh? It was a pleasant suprise though.
All this time I've managed to not molest the plant, but damn, the temptation is now the strongest it's been.
Now, if I can only keep myself from trying to quick dry a small bud...
