I usually start my plants in pots in late Jan. and transport to the ground in mid march. They usually show sex early that way. I started one in the garage, where the temp is usually around 45- 50 f, this time of the year, and I started one inside the house. The one in the garage just sprouted and the one in the house sprouted last week. Question is: Did the temp. have anything to do with it? Or is it just that some seeds sprout faster. If the lower temps were the problem, please tell me, so I want use the garage anymore. THANKS
Its about that time

How fast did they sprout? Most seeds after germinated correctly take 3-4 days to pop up threw the soil if they have the proper lighting..etc, In cool temp conditions the soil tends to remain cool and saturated for extended periods. When this happens, the plant is unable to actively transpire moisture out of the soil. Oversaturate soils do not allow adequate gaseous exchange, and oxygen becomes depleted. Stressed plants are more susceptible to disease. Some solution: expose your outdoor plants to more light, allow the soil to warm up by removing excess surface mulch. Plant after June 1 to avoid lower soil temps. You can also plant on raised burms to increase soil temps and reduced moisture.

he wants to know if the bean came up later because of the temapture difference INSIDE the house. hi shit isnt even outdoors yet man.How fast did they sprout?

and the answer is yes, it could be due to that but it dosent mean you should worry, just start em all inside where it stays 65-80 degrees.

Kochab is right. 45-50 could slow early growth, but not stunt it. It can delay germination, and even prevent it in sensitive seeds. But you can already see it sprouted. You're ok, just germinate and sprout inside from now on.

hey hey the DR's in tha house. i aint seen ya around in a while. still mulling the boards?
keep at it which ever way you can buck. weed is so restiliant like you wouldn't believe. makes me wonder why they call cannabis weed......maybe ruderalisis i understand but why is cannabis sativa called weed? i see why they call it dope though........lol sorry folks im high.
just cut a great sativa pheno that ive always loved. actually it was a 9" tall flowered plant. i grew it that small so that it would be supreme bud i wouldent have to do anything to, (and for the fuck of it).

hey kochab, I wanna know what you're smoking man! I got a bowl of some ingrid right now. The taste leaves something to be desired, but it's a heavy stone. By the end of this bowl I'll just be like dawn of the dead. Zombified man.

man ive been smoking on is some vietnameese strain that ive(my family really) had locked up for 30 years that i grow out as a regular in my room.
and a bag of schwag that has a million seeds in it. (dont worry they will find a home right out in the open when it its warm. lol)
but yeah i dont get many options for strains to grow/smoke as my wifey dont want me ordering beans offline. but a good friend has just let me know a couple days ago that they might be sending me some strains that most people cant even order off a seed banks list. I trust the as a breeder in the higest regards, and i cant wait to see what types of goodies that they have made for the world.
the Vietnamese plants im smoking now are kinda weird. they grow out small # of finger fan leaves ( alot of times the fans are only 1 blade apeice) and if something happens to the fans, they dont often come back. like most plants if you pick the fans off then it just starts another right? well this one if it loses a fan it wont start another, if anything is done about it then it takes one of the bud leaves and turns it into a fan by making the leaf stem grow longer......
fdd said it might be a vietnamese strain called "dalat" and it looks very similar but i dont know if it is or not. I googled and got descriptions of dalat and the plants seem like they are very similar and different in the same, so i dunno

Wow dude, I don't even know how to approach your single bladed cannabis plant. As far as the fan leaves, it's totally normal. Internode branching will extend to catch the light lost by the clipped leaves. The plant will kill all cells at the opening to a wound to prevent pests and diseases. You're thinking of pinching, when you clip or pinch the top bud where the most growth is. That's fine and dandy. The majority of growth hormones, auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, etc. are concentrated here to the extent that the plant will continue to grow around the wound, often bisecting into two meristems. I have no idea why you only have one blade per fan leaf, and have never heard of it before. fucking wierd, man. But hey, if it smokes well, who am I to judge? Genetics are genetics and cannabis can be smoked, so do it one blade or 20. Got's to go, got one bowl of schwag left to my name. But I've got good at this game, one bowl left but it's payday! Time to re-up. Peace brother.

least you still got the one bowl on payday. id say that is good at the game. lol
the strain grows fan leaves that are usually just one finger. i think its the genetics of the plant but i may be wrong. im not sure what some of that above is though. i want talking about topping a plant or anything but with the terms you were using in that context it makes me think that you were.

Yeah, I thought you meant you were clipping branches, dude. Like, I guess for clones, man. What made you realize it wouldn't continue to grow around the loss of a limb? Like, what clipped your plant, man? My dog annihilated half the leaves of one plant, it never recovered. Had to scrap it at only 4 weeks old with the pre-sex just, like, a week away man. Dude, word to the wise, I just annihilated about 10.5 grams of some pretty decent schwag. I'm totally in the school library computer lab, and it's so chill in here. Nobody but, like, the admin who's a student, and one other student. I just wish they would dim the lights and play Carlos Santana in here, man. It's cool, I got him in my head. Oye como va...
