I gotta agree my herb smoked at 3 weeks of cure is noticably better than herb smoked off 1 or less weeks cure

BIG difference. It makes since that as the volume of material becomes less and less the concentration of the active ingredient become greater per cubic cm. Not to mention the improved taste.

Hey fdd,
After you gave the info I was looking I found this thread of yours, I had remembered reading it when you first starting writing awhile back and forgot about it.
I guess things just work out that way sometimes.
Thanks again

Your bud is amazing and you have the most concise and easiest harvest method I've found. This is my first grow and I think it's progressing well. Patience is definatly a key requirement. Like most newbies, I'm concerned that I might do something to wrong. I'm using a small hydroponic system. I only have 18" vertical space and read that flowing will increase plant height 2 to 3 times. All 6 plant were very bushy. After 4 weeks under of 24 hr. MH light, when the tallest reached 12", I decided to start force flowering . This pic is after 1 week of flowering under a HPS light on a 12/12 cycle. How many more weeks should I anticipate flowering? You said that you harvest in small cuttings. Do you find that some flowers mature faster than others? Do growers ever just clip the buds rather than the entire stem? Your opinion would be very much appreciated.

Is that a female? That looks really wierd to me. What strain is that. Where are the pistils?

ARE YOU POSITIVE? Please don't tell me that! Shit, that sucks! That means all 6 are male. I suspected they were but I didn't want to believe it. I got ripped off buying feminized seeds and ended up with all males. I guess it's back to the bad street weed and we'll try again. Thanks to all for looking

I got these through BC Bud Depot. I thought these guys could be trusted. Yea, I got lots of pics. I take them once a week. I keeps records like a nazi. I'm trying to track the grow cycles so I can build a good reference. I took a seed 2 years ago that I found in a bud and threw it in my garden. I didn't pay any attention to it but the sucker grew and actually produced some descent smoke. I thought, if it grows when I ignore it, I can produce some killer with a little care. I'm a fuckin asshole

Hey Tckfui
Even though you, fdd2blk and potroast gave me the worst news possible and I feel like a total loser, I took your advice and started trashing the crop. I don't believe it but I think I actually found 2 females. I'll let you judge. They of course were in the back and hard to see. It's a very small grow area and the males were real bushy.
The 1st and 2nd pic are from the healthier looking of the 2. The pistils are definatly noticable.
The 3rd and 4th pics are from my runt. It germinated about a week after the others and is noticabley smaller and weaker looking. It was also surrounded by larger plants so it didn't get as much light.
If you don't mind, I have some questions. First, do you think they had a chance to be pollinated? The males were still real young. Do you think they'll yeild anything? I'd like to have a little something for my efforts.
Since I started the flowering cycle, is it too late to clip and clone? I think you're suppose to do that while they're still in the vegitative stage. This was suppose to be GOD BUD but I can't find anyone who has grown this strain. Do you know anything about it?
Any advice would be appreciated.
