    Question about the conventional wisdom

    Everything you read about growing, harvesting and enjoying your plants has a sentence like this one: "After you're done manicuring the buds, be sure to save the trimmed leaves to make honey oil, hash or canna butter". I've made honey oil and really enjoy the taste and effect. I have...

    AARP Super Kush

    Hi folks, No, 'AARP Super Kush' is not a new strain -- it's just a silly term I made-up to get your attention so I can introduce myself. I'm definitely AARP-eligible, but am not a member. When they use the dues to lobby for something sensible, like full-bore legalization, I'll start...

    Lots of buds, red/brown pistils, dry curled-up bracts, BUT...

    Thanks for the advice, guys. I guess seeing those bracts change color and curl-up got me worried that my girls were 'past due'. (Girls being 'past due' has always given me cold sweats! ;-)) I'll give 'em another week or two, keep looking through my little microscope, and wait patiently for...

    Lots of buds, red/brown pistils, dry curled-up bracts, BUT...

    Outdoor grow of sativa bag seeds in garden in mid-Atlantic east coast USA. Planted seedlings, got great vegetative growth, topped twice yielding four nice limbs on each of three females (pulled three males, no fertilization). So far, so good. Lots of healthy buds, 12-16" at tips, pistils...
