Studying the grows on this site allowed me to do this for my first grow.

Hey Watsup guys I live in South Africa Planning on doing my first grow next year. Any ideas on which strains would be good for this area? I live on the coast and it's very warm and humid during summer. Great site and awesome people. Peace

hey guys, im doing my first legit grow that i can actually keep until harvest. and i have been growing it for a little over 2 months. i have read that during veg stage your supposed to have 18 hours of light and 6 hours of dark, i have been keeping it on 16 and 8 by accident for the past month at least, i dont plan on flowering for a couple more weeks at least should i switch the lights to 18/6 for the last few weeks/ month or will the change put too much stress and should i just keep it until the 12/12 switch?

First tip for new growers is to not overwater - it's the most common way to kill young plants. Wait until your pot feels very light.
Second tip is to not spend money on nutrients - there are many cheap ways to supply them. Look up OC+ controlled release fertilizer.
Third tip - make your first major purchase a good grow light like a 400HPS and a good exhaust system like a 6" fan / carbon filter combo. Always go big with the exhaust system so you can use a fan controller to reduce the speed and noise.

It looks like they've been in 12/12 for about two weeks, but there's really not sufficient light - get those CFLs as close as you can to the plants without them touching, and add as many as you can afford.
I'd guess another six weeks till harvest - but you can be sure by getting a 60x microscope and looking at the color of your trichomes - they will all have clear tops now, but turn cloudy and then amber when they are done. For more "up" effects harvest when the trichs are cloudy, and for more "couch-lock" effects wait till at least half are amber.

Mostly you have to wait or find a very active thread if you want quick responses.
As for your cannabutter question, I'd guess it didn't get hot enough inside the mason jar, or didn't lose enough water to absorb the THC.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of edibles - even when I do feel something, I don't really like it.
