Im at work so my answer is as straight as I am ever going to be... I like photoperiod and regular seeds... Call me old fashioned... I do however bend a bit on fem seeds, but not auto yet...

The 12/12 from seed thread is a good place to ask.. I am assuming however he has been there already....
Be patient, could be a few days before someone stops by that can help....
 
Ordered 4 White Widow X Big Bud Feminized, getting Freebies...
FREE: 1 X Royal Queen Fruit Spirit Feminised Seed, 2 X Seedsman Sleestack x Skunk#1 Regular Seeds

I like freebies.... These will go with my Wonder Woman regular seeds from Nirvana...



 
These are some pics of my 2 flowering ladies, I've been growing using CFL's for a year, and am just awaiting deliver of a 250w HPS and Digi ballast - quick question on that subject, it's a Sunmaster, Dual Spec bulb, quoted at 33,000 lumens, which to me seems a bit high and an exaggeration?... but I guess you guys are the experts, any thoughts??

They were flipped 23 days ago, so i'm guessing about 2 weeks flower, and the 280w CFL's just don't seem to have enough juice.

They were topped once during late veg, and have some basic LST keeping the canopy more level... I can't wait to see how they react under a HPS...watching my plants develop is almost as much fun as smoking them.

I could only be bothered to get one plant out of the tent for close ups as they have been set up to be just under 1" away from the 7 bulbs. Also in shot of one of the pics is a 3.5 inch 240v fan, which I plan to hang directly under my HPS bulb to blow the heat away before reaching the top of the plants

Any thoughts or tips??

I just had the strangest experience. I smoked bud that looked like good pot, it smelled fantastic. It's tight nugs and lots of crystal but very little stoneyness at all. it's being sold as top shelf nug but it's garbage.

Probably harvested while the trich's were still largely cloudy, or wasn't dried properly, I've had harvest of perfectly fantastic budd go wrong like that, early on of course

Ahh that age old strain we named "Pretendica"
I got some of the nicest looking Jamaican bud, big buds some would weigh 5+ g. I remember smoking a j with 2 buddies, after we all looked at each other wondering what happened... Felt a little tired, but that was about it. Like smoking leaf...
 
Since hemp and pot are the same thing, could a female hemp plant produce good looking and smelling bud. The stuff I have gives me a headache.
 
the hemp I just smoked was outstanding.... A different variety of the bruce i am growing, he says he has 2 phenos, both look very similar, one is denser and skunky/hashy tasting, the other is a little less orange hair not as dense and a sweet maybe fuely taste.
Both are potent.... Hmmmm BF3 time...
 
It can produce beautiful buds if cared for like pot. The way it's grown commercially makes the buds unsuitable for smoking.

No matter the bud type, the stone is non-existant. It gives a headache with little to no high for a very short time..
 
you can have bud with real low thc and high cbd.would still be topshelf doesnt get you that high esp if you have tolarance but good for pain nausea ect..could be hemp but doubt that.
i se quite a few new ppl up in here.glad to see. fire up those bulbs and commence to jigglin yall.
PS Smoking some pre98bubbax and hit my vapepen w bluelarry wax.

Hemp is the term used for canabis sativa with an extremely low THC count that is grown and harvested for fiber, it grows fast and tall and if not germinated (impossible being its grown by the millions) the buds it would produce would be skinny and green..
We consume cannabis sativa and cannabis indica. So what we smoke is not hemp.

Also crystals = THC...... So if your seeing crystals its not 1% THC.

I agree with the original response that it was harvested early or something went wrong with the curing.
 
Can anyone tell me (please) if my plants, pictured on last page, well stretch much after going under the HPS. In my experience from growing with CFL's, height growth has stopped by now (24days 12/12), and it's just the budds getting bigger from here on in.

However, with my 250, i'm guessing the bulb will be about 6 inches from the plants, will this cause them to stretch more, now they are mid flower??
