Just stopping in here to say whats up! Been lurking for a few days and I'm going to use the journal section to document my grow.

Awesome. I didn't document my 1st grow. It's almost time to harvest. But I cloned my plants and have a grow tent. Looking good now for 5 week old clones.

Hi everyone!

I´m about to start my first ever grow in a couple of days, and I´m so happy to have found this forum. It seems to be full of knowledgeable and helpful people, and god knows I´ll probably need a LOT of help going forward. :)

(sorry for my bad english)

Hey there, Texan outdoor grower here, have taken a couple seasons off and it is time to set some roots down again.
Looking forward to sharing experiences.
Thanks.

I'm sorry I scoured the net for answers but cant seem to decide if this is a male plant, a female or a Hermie. My friend a novice himself let me pluck some of his crop. He's been growing it outside don't know why. I'm past the drying process and into curing I just want to know if it is even worth curing or am I wasting my time. Any answers are helpful. Thank you in advance

It looks to be male. Males do not produce seeds. Only females do. It's like saying men give birth. Only females flower with seeds if a male is close and pollinates it. Try trimming the leaves to expose the flower and take a picture and post.

Thank you @Shizrock Oh, it has seeds, a lot of seeds in fact. The reason I plucked these was is the trichomes on the leaves. I think it's been pollinated. Would it still be ok to smoke though? And I've been cutting it for about three days and the jar smells like fresh cut grass. It's that normal?

Did you have a male plant nearby? Females can self pollinate if stressed. Improper lighting ph levels cold. They do this in fear of drying and can become hermies in this process. You can see the trichomes with a jewelers loop. Female seeded buds can still be smoked if pollinated by a male. We all bought weed with seeds and still got high. But if it self pollinated i believe it's a hermaphrodite. Which is better consumed as edible. Not positive on that. Hope that helps.

Awesome, thanks for the help. Guess I'll wait for them to cure a bit. Also does the grass smell go away with curing or is there another way to get rid of it. Also, since it's pollinated should I even be curing it? Sorry, but I only know how to roll good slims. Completely incompetent with the nuances of growing and drying

The smell is normal because it is fresh. Also, in the future get feminized seeds or clones from a female plant. I've been successful using coast of Maine soil. It has all the nutrients you need for marijuana plants. I do give it a teaspoon of epsom salt to a gallon of water it actually helps the nutrients in the soil to be released more effectively. In week 2 of flower I introduce black strap molasses for bigger better smelling tasty sticky buds. Last 2 weeks of flower just flush it and use water only.

By curing you mean jarring and burping it by releasing the gasses? I would let it dry until the small branch is dry when you can just snap it off. Then smoke it and see if it's worth curing

My first grow too. I have a green thumb naturally. I got clones from my friend and used his growing tips. I lost 6 clones in the process. But the last 5 he gave me are thriving. One that is in picture. Harvest is soon for me. I also cloned from them too 6 weeks ago.

Wow, the buds look beautiful. You must be really proud. The stash I have is dry. But I think I speed dried it. So the leaves became brittle and the chlorophyll is trapped in. But since putting in the jar some of the moisture has returned. So it's just slightly damp. I think I'll give it a smoke and see where we stand. Didn't know you should smoke and see if it can be cured. Thanks for the tip. Really appreciate it.

I only say try it first before curing because you are not totally sure it's a female. Burp the jars leave them open 5 minutes 3 times a day to release gases and moisture don't want bud rot
