ordered with debit and credit, very recently, a couple weeks back, delivers to any address i think, because i've ordered with my card, my dad's, and my friend's, all live in blr...delivery time has been anywhere from 7 days to 13 days in the past...i didn't use stealth delivery, 4/4 successful deliveries. first was from picknmix seeds (which i majorly fucked up), second was from attitude (which the weather majorly fucked up by biting me in the buttcheek with the first monsoon the one day i was out of town), third was from sannie's (which i majorly fucked up), fourth was from attitude (i didn't fuck this one up - all seeds germinated, but most of the seedlings were so frail), and most recently also from attitude which seems to be going well. also, the cc statement reads attitude gifts so that's not a problem
as for seedbank, my suggestion would be to go with mandala if you 'don't want to fuck up'. i've ordered their shit twice, each time it's quality seeds. choose which strain you want based on your requirements - the safari mix is cheap but loaded with some nice stuff.
the hardest part when you buy your seeds for the first time, and pay attention -
1) i know you've paid for the seeds, you're worried about their outcome, etc, but the biggest way to mess up is by not having patience. once planted seeds will take a day, two days, three days, four days, or even five days to show. possibly more, but that hasnt happened for me. you will feel like just taking a peek on the seed by gently brushing off some of the soil medium that's covering it, but don't this not only messes things up for the seed and decreases its survival rate by (from my experience) 70%. if you wait for 4-5 days, your patience will reward you, given that you've done your research and you know what medium you're putting it in, how to keep it moist but not too moist, etc.
2) don't plant them all i know you're eager, you want your plants soon, but for your first time, buy at least 10 seeds (preferably during a monthly promotion), spend at least 30 GBP and avail of the freebies, and plant 2-3 seeds at a time. that way, your learning curve doesn't go like mine and you only have to order one batch of seeds. this is the first time i'm stalling my planting and sowing seeds by the 6 or 7 and it's going perfectly for me.
3) there's no substitute for this - do enough research. by enough i mean scour the fucking extents of the web and soak up as much information as you possibly fucking can, and then some. research will take you half the way, the rest is hands on experience, and likewise, unfortunately or fortunately there's no substitute for experience either.
keep that in mind and you'll do alright.

Hey! Now there is smell when I go near it!!! 
The rains must have been knocking the trichomes off as that typical frosty look isn't happening. When I zoom in on the photo in photoshop or something, it does show the trichomes!
I watched a Do-It-Yourself thingy on youtube and made a microscope with webcam lenses reversed and put back, and such. It shows the mushroom shaped trichomes
It shows 90% of the trichomes as cloudy with 10% clear. It was a cool sight to look at as I've only seen trichomes like that on internet images
My doubt is about how long will it take till I cut, but not that typical question
The buds picture shows how it looks. Not at all bulky or filled! :O Will it be like this as the trichomes are all cloudy now?
Will that 'swelling' occur, or did it already?

Thank you for the warning, but I'm not yet in bangalore. This is a kerala sativa(idukki/munnar) grown in kerala climate
The wind happens as these rains are thunderstorms, but except the tip of each branch, nothing really moves now.
Few weeks back, around 75% of each branch used to sway in wind. Maybe the plant knows better and it hardened the branches Just the tip of each branch remains 'softer'.
My doubt about that thickening was because the trichomes are already cloudy, so it will stay cloudy for few more weeks till that thickens up?
RinWraith, who isn't posting these days mentioned in this thread itself that once he had grown, and waited too long till it thickens by which the THC had already degraded and the trichs were amber.

i was thinking it is a fem and now after some more reading ..... its a fem which has turned hermaphrodite.... it happens due to stress on weak genetic plants...it will have pistils and seeds it seems...i think what caused it is it doesn't get complete darkness during the night as the streetlight keep shining on her.... its natures way of preserving the species.. anyways lets see wat she turns out to be..Isn't that a male flower on the right hand side branch?

Never tried it, but have heard friends say that just a single puff of 'neela-chadayan' makes you feel it real hard I think there is one more export quality strain called 'sheelavati'
5 KG per plant? That would be a tree and not a bush
The seeds you get from that hermie will be cool All the offspring would be either a female, or else a hermie. Which means 100% smokable
We Indians are used to weed with seeds. So, a hermie wouldn't be an issue at all. In fact my plant, I was literally praying in my mind should turn a hermie and not a male because, I had runted it real bad by keeping it under a 11 watt cfl for two months
It grew only 3 inches during those two months Did not die. So, when monsoons were over, I kept it under 12/12 Sun And now it has been nearly 5-6 months. But flowering 'signs' started 4 months back with zig-zag branch growth that happens to create budsites, and preflower happend in two-three weeks after that.

Are these trichomes clear or cloudy? I'm confused

Thank you The lens might be cloudy as it was handled with fingers while reversing the webcam compound-lens
Apart from that, this isn't a true microscope. This has a very small focal length, with very small field of view. It's like in a frame only 5-10% will have focus, and the rest of the frame would be out-of-focus. Kind of like a heavy depth of field photo
So, a lot of those cloudy lens like appearance around the focused area is that, and not really cloudy lens caused with handling them with fingers.
The pistils are all white, and 'standing-up'. Just the tip of every pistil is curly and brown.
One more photo that shows a different area of the bud that was taken to sample. Just to confirm it's clear trichomes. The picture shows three trichomes that are in the mushroom-shaped category. The leftmost one and the center one are the cloudy-for-me. The rightmost one looks orange?
