Seriously, it looks seeded? I got the males out of there pretty quickly! Can you tell me why you believe that, or are their other opinions?

Hi gang, My first grow is getting close to harvest time. I see different growers use different indications to decide on when to harvest: Some go by the pistils, others pay close attention to the trichomes. I have 10X and 20X loupes and a 30X microscope and I see the trichomes clearly. I...

Thanks guys, I'm giving Backdoor's advice a try. It's been 4 or 5 days and I THINK the leaves look less yellow. But I still suspect a sulphur problem, as another symptom that the plant clearly has is a purple stem near the top. I'm not too worried, since I'll be harvesting in about 2 weeks...

I have 3 plants growing indoors under a 400W HIS lamp. After a month under MH lamps for18 hours/day, I made the switch to 12/12 days under the HIS lamps 30 days ago. There are nice buds growing on all three, with trichromes galore. I expect harvest will begin soon. Just one concern: One of...

First, the photo is too small to see any evidence of sex. When you send pictures in that you want feedback on, get as close as the camera focus will allow. Jorge Cervantes, who has written about two dozen books on the subject, says you should wait until you have early evidence of sex before...

Thanks, my brothers! I'm not quite ready to make oil, etc. so I just dried the males normally. It's provided an okay, if weak stash to carry until harvest. Certainly better than having nothing!! I'll look forward to the day when I have enough of my properly cured Shiva Shanti female buds...

Again, I seek out the expertise of my betters. My very small grow room, a 2'x6' closet, after selecting the best growers and then weeding out the males, contains 4 plants. Three look gorgeous; after switching to 12 hours of light 3 weeks ago, the buds are coming out beautifully. But plant...

Hi gang, this is my first post, and my first grow since 1968. I started with 10 Shiva Shanti seeds and 20 free, mystery seeds from Amsterdam. Germination went well, ended with 7 Shiva Shanti (SS) seedlings and 5 Free Seeds (FS) seedlings (in Jiffy Pots). After app. 2 weeks I transplanted 5 SS...
