I've had some iffy looking starts on some seedlings. Some make and some don't. I would give it a few days and see what happens.

Not sure if that is a wish, a promise or a curse, but I thank you for taking the time to read the post and respond.

So I had 4 Thai Sativas go male at about 3 months after germination. Perhaps this is a trait peculiar to this strain. One of the plants was with me and the others were with friends to whom I had given some young plants. Overall I had 4 of 8 Thai Sativas go male. I gave six away and everyone...

So how do I know who is a reputable breeder and who is not except through experience? If you asked my opinion about the three seed sellers I listed: 1. Canada Seed Bank - I bought 10 Durban Poison seeds and only 1 germinated. I contacted them several times and they just ignored me, so I will...

Thanks Jjgrow420. The more I learn about growing my own weed, the more fascinating it becomes. I'm really starting to enjoy looking at other people's plant photos. It's becoming like some kind of marijuana porn.

Ok I will definitely try to even out the watering. According to PRO-MIX the soil contains: Canadian sphagnum peat moss Peat humus Perlite Limestone Controlled release fertilizer Mycorrhizae I am not familiar with the idea of keeping a grow journal. Please explain.

Drain holes - yes. I covered the holes with a thin layer of peat moss to keep the soil from leaking out when filling the pails. I have been waiting for the plants to wilt slightly before I water, but I suspected that I was giving too much water when I water, so I am giving less now. I noticed...

Thanks AJ. Second year growing in containers on my deck. I learned a lot from the mistakes I made last year. Still making some, but generally the results are already better this year. I had some plants with 'V' leaves, but that went away. Then I had some round brown spots on some leaves...

I did read somewhere that the blue grow light improves your chances of getting females, so I think there is something in what you are saying. Sorry I mislead about the "bag seeds". This year's seeds were all purchased as I described.

As for luck: If I flipped a coin 14 times, the odds of getting 14 heads is one in 16,384. So maybe I should buy some lottery tickets. I'm not sure what you mean by "bag seeds". I do know that all the seeds were advertised as "Regular" seeds when I purchased them. The Denali seeds come from...

I had some bad luck last year germinating old seeds collected from previous pot purchases. So this year I planted extra seeds to ensure I would have enough female plants to grow outside on my deck. I ended up with 14 plants - all grown from regular seeds. There were four different strains...

To follow up with the polyploids: The leaves surrounding the two large tops started to die off while the rest of the plant keep going for several more weeks before being ready to harvest. So I harvested the polyploid tops early. I eventually used them in a small test batch of canna butter...

Yes, I looked into the idea of a mutation and discovered the polyploid plants look just like the one I have. Apparently these plants have more than two parents, i.e. three or more sets of chromosomes. I also learned that they can have higher THC and higher yields. There is also a risk that...

So I planted some seeds that I had saved from previous purchases. They did alright and several are almost ready to harvest. However I have this one plant that has these really bushy heads and massive bunches of stigmas at the very top of the plant. The buds hidden under the bushy leaves feel...

By the way, I thought my problem was that I didn't crop the tops on my plants. They are some 6 feet tall and top heavy with few supporting branches nearby. BTW I think all of your ideas seem like reasonable solutions. You just gotta do what works for you.

I'm no expert but if it were me I would put a stake somewhere near to the plant and use string to secure each plant to the stake. You could even wrap the plant with the string and attach to the stake. I am having a similar problem but my plants are outside in large utility pails. The other...

I picked up a hand held portable microscope to check my tricomes. It ranges from 100X-250X. It can be a little tricky to line up the specifmen but works well. I got it at Amazon. It's called a Carson MicroFlip and UV Lighted Pocket Microscope with Flip Down Slide Base and Smartphone...
