Hey whodat, I have been up for a while, just getting round to reading all the 600 posts.
HeadsUp, I ended up getting 11 grams of hash from the SSHit. The has is very very very nice...just smells like super silver haze, lemon cupcake hash, nice! Will be interested to hear what you think of the Blackjack in smoke.
Take it easy 600.
Peace, DST
I'm looking forward to telling you about the blackjack. What I can tell you for now, she's a beauty. She is going to have a nice main cola and her 'skirt' of side branching is impressive and she still has weeks to go. She is also by far my frostiest plant and smells heavenly.
lemon skunk 12-12 from seed in coco........
Ya' gotta' love the way a lemon skunk produces. Lovely plant.
Oh man, I completely forgot to post this one, check it out!!!
Ontario court strikes down marijuana laws

Sounds interesting, at least it is going to force your government to make some kind of changes and apparently they will be for the better for medical users. Oh Canada!
just wondering.
if its 2 and a half weeks veg growth with 12/12
then could you cut that down to say a week and a half or so with 18/6 ? or is the veg growth rate the same regardless of light schedule?
just curious.
Light schedule is everything.
The story's fresh so I'm not too sure yet either but I will explain what I know, or think I know. First of all you have to understand that Canada's MML is federal, not provincial (state). This is a provincial judge making a ruling against a federal law, saying it's unconstitutional, blah, blah, but is holding back the ruling until the feds get their shit together and fix it, and if they don't his ruling stands and will be enforced. How that is enforced I'm not sure, I have to go do some poking around. But, like the article says, the feds are expected to appeal his ruling and who knows how long that can take. The other thing about this is the timing. An election was called a couple of weeks ago and we go to the polls on May 2nd, and could have a new leader by then, and if it's the Liberal government I'm hoping for, this could be good, IMO.
It is good.
I'm still fairly new at this so take it for what it is, and that is my opinion. I think we look at it a little wrong. I think that we feel when we put a plant into 12/12 that we are forcing it and manipulating it into flower. I thing it's the other way around. I think that when we put a plant into 18/6 we are forcing it to stay in veg and keeping it from flower. While we can force a plant to continue vegging indoors, we can not force it to flower sooner than what it's genetics tell it too. We all get pubies at different times. I think if you force veg plants then counting from 12/12 is sensible and fairly accurate, but if you do 12/12 from seed, then the clock starts when the first pistil shows.
So I'll ask the vets, does that make sense to you?
This is my take. We are manipulating the natural order of things just by growing indoors. If we are running an 18/6 and I personally use a 17/7 schedule, yes, we are manipulating the veg period, we are manipulating the whole growth and flower cycle of the plant. I have a morning glory that I started from seed on the first or second of the month it popped ground and it has been in 12/12 since. It's the twelve hours of darkness that is telling the plant to flower, however, it still has to go through some kind of veg state before it can be old enough to flower. I've seen it as short as thirteen days from seed, generally it's about two and a half weeks for indica dominant strains. The morning glory is another sativa and a first from seed right into 12/12 for me so I have no experience with sativas and how long they will take to start to flower.
Genuity, thanks. They all had buds on them. I killed one off when I dropped the tray of them on the floor, the other three survived. Two of the three have very little bud left, I think they are close to being in full veg state again, the other will take longer.
cof, your killing fields. What did it smell like? Mine is starting to smell very lemony and it's really kicking the bud production into high gear. I have high hopes for this baby.
And DST, I'm happy you have some nice lemon hash to smoke. Question. Did you let the bud dry or just make the hash with wet bud?
