only noobs grow leaves and buds.. the real ones know that it's all about the stems.

ding ding ding! we have a winner! I've seen people misunderstanding the concept of band gaps in this way so many times, but I'm not well versed enough in the specifics to communicate it the way you have. Thanks for putting this information out there for myself and others.

I rarely smoke with anyone anymore. Getting old, being mildly antisocial, and a pandemic have me smoking alone %99 of the time as my old lady only uses edibles. And yeah, I change my water after every bowl or two. Tedious at times, but my lungs just don't like hot smoke anymore. It's all bongs...

Agreed. All my bong bowls that actually get used are basically one hitter bowls. Burnt brown hits are the boof.

I'd cut right before you leave. they are in the window, but probably 7-10 days from when I'd harvest. as long as your drying area is fairly dialed in in terms of temperature and humidity there should be any reason they can't hang for a week unattended.

helpful tip. check the dates on a thread before responding. the person you quoted hasn't been active on this site since 2009.

unless that is some insane 16+ week sativa strain I find it really hard to fathom that the plants are 8 weeks into flower. can you tell me more about the grow? strain, what it is growing in, environmental conditions etc.

when I had what I was told was the Short cut I think it was typically 62 to 65 days for me, but I didn't know the source super well so I can't say for certain that the cut was legit. Her and my Urkle have been my fastest finishers.

there are folks on RIU that started growing in the 70s.... I'm not special, just getting old. :D

my chitral x Skunk cross is usually a 9 to 10 week. I really wish I could get a more Pakistani leaning pheno out of it.

it's adding something if I've been growing since 1992 and haven't seen one. hundreds of stains, thousands of phenotypes, S1s through F6, and I've never seen one. how is that less relevant and contributory than your opinion about plant maturity?

That's the problem... How can a discussion occur about the existence of a "legit 8 week strain" if everybody is using their own, relatively arbitrary, definitions of ripeness? I think it's the main reason that this discussion never has a satisfactory resolution. That, and the fact that a lot...

my fastest finisher is an Urkle cross. I usually take them down at 9 weeks. never seen anything that was actually done at 8 weeks. commercial ops might beg to differ, but I'm not growing for money so 'close enough' isn't my style.

the line existed as a very small seed stock for almost 30 years. It was a project strain of the guy that taught me how to grow in the early/mid 90s. I only recently (about 3 years ago) started growing/breeding with it. What I can say is that the seed starts have been remarkably homogeneous and...

it's a very old ibl greatest hits mix of 80s strains. The father was ((Northern Lights #2 x Skunk #1) x (Shiva Skunk x Afghani)). The mother was (Pakistani Chitral x Super Skunk).

I am so glad I don't grow for sale. Trying to figure out what unstable S1 or pollen chuck F1 is going to be the new hype with the zoomers sounds terrible. My favorite genetics in my collection right now is older than half the people smoking pot these days. The only hype strain in the last 5...

I never mention the guy unless the person I'm interacting with brings him up specifically as a source of information. This is the case in this instance. It's unfortunate that the mention of his name is tiresome for you, but I'm not going to avoid steering someone away from a bad source of...

I wasn't making a joke. At least I don't think so. I'm pretty stoned.

Please do yourself a favor and stop getting growing advice from Mr Canucks. He is a below average grower who regularly fries his plants and generally gives terrible advice to novice growers who don't know any better. There are people on these forums that are 10 times the grower as that guy and...

That was going to be my first question as well. Too much light on a struggling clone with possible transplant shock could definitely put the plant into shutdown mode.
