    Hardening off time scale?

    I think I’d put them in the ground now. If you think the light intensity is going to be vastly different than what they are used to maybe use a shade or something to give them some temporary relief from the sun/heat.

    Idea to see plant sex early?

    This year I started putting seedlings outside Mid April. After a coupke weeks they started showing signs of sex (May 1st). I didn’t plan it that way but I was able to weed out all the males.

    Question about wild pot

    i lived in Indiana for a few years and the wild hemp that grows there boggles the mind. 20 plus feet tall and covered in buds. You did used to hear about the cops busting people for trying to harvest it but the truth is even the buds weren’t worth smoking. People would actually sell it but you...

    Question about wild pot

    It’s hemp. Probably not worth trying to grow because the potency will be low no matter if you can keep it from getting pollinated or not. Also if you do any kind of outdoor grow near those fields where wild hemp is growing the hemp will pollinate your plants too. During world war 2 hemp was...

    Indica on the US Gulf Coast?

    I’m not on the coast but I’m kind of close and have similar growing conditions as the OP. I prefer growing indicas because they finish faster than sativas and I try to minimize the time my plants are in the ground. For me indicas finish early September to mid/late September. Sativas always go to...

    Punk Dream - 2022 Bagseed Grow

    If this is going to be an outdoor grow I’d wait a while to cull out the under-performers. I like to put out my outdoor plants when they are a foot or two tall.

    Grind up a full jar of bud good or bad ?

    Nothing wrong with grinding up your bud a jar at a time. I wouldn’t grind up more than I would be using for more than a few weeks simply because once it’s ground it will lose its internal moisture faster than if left intact. Keep your ground bud jar’d up but remember each time you open that jar...

    Where/How are you guys moving your product atm?

    If you ever needed proof that legalizing something undermines the black market for it.

    Go back or not?

    This is definitely a conundrum. I don’t believe the police would leave behind contraband indefinitely on the chance that they could potentially catch the grower in the act of harvesting what they left behind. If they have set a trap for the OP they wouldn’t have left behind the calling card...

    Mother plant broke in half and bottom is gone!

    To the OP it actually is possible to keep a plant cutting alive in water like you have it. Change the water out with fresh every couple of days. The way you know it’s working is the stem in the water will begin putting out roots. If you don’t start getting roots then the cutting has died an at...

    To trim or not to trim sugar leaves?

    I trim dry and then only do a light trim before storing in jars. If the leaves have a stem I snip it off, otherwise I leave it on there. I can always clean up a bud better later on if I want to.

    I love harvest day

    I had to move my drying and most of the processing of my harvests outside of my house because of the smell. I still do the final trim and putting up in jars in the house but that is a relatively fast process but my wife still notices it and isn’t happy. Once you jar it, and if you’re careful not...

    Anyone have someone help them grow weed or trim ILLEGALLY, etc and then had a fallout?

    This. The OP needs someone they can rely on to do certain grow related chores on a regular basis. Not everyday but certainly several times a month. Based on what I’ve read in this thread the OP is way undervaluing the contribution this guy is providing. I’m not saying the OP is taking...

    Virgin Outdoor Grow

    I’m a stealth grower and even if/when it is legalized in my state or decriminalized nationally I’ll continue to keep my cannabis growing activities concealed.

    Indoor/outdoor watermelon skittles. Looks like a cannabis umbrella

    I don’t mean to be so snarky, but you’ve got some serious time growing that plant. I also can’t help but wonder if you’d left the foliage on the bottom of the plant that would be covered with buds too. That’s the great thing about outdoor light you don’t have to worry about light penetration...

    Indoor/outdoor watermelon skittles. Looks like a cannabis umbrella

    When your hobby is growing cannabis and you really want to see if you can take a whole year to finish a plant!

    When autos get stressed and pistils prematurely brown do they recover or new growth ?

    The ones I’ve got are outdoors getting mostly full sun. They went in the ground (raised bed) as seedlings beginning of June. They don’t look anything like what autodoctor posted. I honestly don’t think I did anything different than when I run photos? My yield off of indica dominant photo...

    When autos get stressed and pistils prematurely brown do they recover or new growth ?

    I can believe much of what happened to me had more to do with my set up than with the auto seeds I ran. Where I’d usually have a few plants as tall as me or taller covered in big colas I’ve got a couple of plants standing at 18” - 24”, totally covered in buds but will have to do some serious...

    When autos get stressed and pistils prematurely brown do they recover or new growth ?

    I won’t be buying auto flower seeds anymore. I can see where auto flowers have their place in the home grown cannabis market, but for me they are kind of a waste of time an effort. I can even see an outdoor grower like me running autos, but I like to grow 3 or 4 females to harvest during my...

    73% Of Capitol Hill Aides Believe GOP Will Take Back House in 2022

    Both houses are definitely up for grabs in 22 not to mention what will happen at the state and local level. The steal is most definitely on but it’s taking place under the guise of voting restrictions and other forms of citizen disenfranchisement. Currently the republicans are the ones promoting...
