Cheese

[PuffinNugs]

been picking seeds for the last month-2 months now.

im back to the all males must be destroyed mentality again :evil: i hate cleaning buds, but dont want to smoke all my sensi

also had a seed mold up and ruin some while putting other strains at risk a couple days ago, make sure your drying your seeds even one soft one can ruin them all. youll be able to smell it also (how i noticed, opened the jar and had the odor). 2nd time this happened to me, just one soft seed in the mix and thier done.

also its a good idea to keep purchased beans seperate from beans you created just for that fact.

Thanks, Puff, I didn't know any of that. I thought seeds came off the plant ready to put up in the cupboard.

I can see how easy it might be to make unwanted seeds -- I'm going to try hard to keep the pollen under control and just fert one branch of a plant -- we will see..

How long to they take to dry? There is always more to it than you think, lol

Peace

couple weeks would definately guarantee you they're dry.

 

[PuffinNugs]

just dry them with the buds, and when the buds are ready to cure, the seeds will be ready also

over drying seeds can cause a "hard seed" which can take longer to germ but that usaually happens after a extended period think its like 8% moisture left

The Cheese is aging slowly but nicely. I should get a crop to harvest I'm not going to do anything to the next crop -- no Fim, topping, or lst -- It has occured to me that I have never let a plant just grow out, and I am going to have a lot of plants in the tent next grow. One of them (the AK47 mother) will be a little bush, but the rest I will just let grow. What do you think?

got to have the tabasco

Wow Hemperfi i have never seen such a uniform plants from above as photo #5 and what id so with that is pull the underneath branches to the sides so it looks from above like 8 branches instead of the 4 it appears to look like.
Sweet looking coming on nicely.

Looking good Hemper. How long have they been in 12/12 now? I am really looking forward to a smoke report on these.

I wouldn't let the plants go completely au natural, especially if your space is going to be crowded. I would at the very least recommend lollipopping them so that you do not get a lot of popcorn bud and also to allow for good air flow below the canopy.

 

[HemperFi]

That's a great idea, Goddess -- that's what I will do.

Here is that plant now T4 -- I opened her up some

Peace

They have been in flower for 36 days -- 03-18 will be 60 days.

Every time I sit and watch my plants I want to take pics -- I love this stage of growth, when the trichs are busting out, and the buds are swelling nicely. I believe beautiful, healthy MJ plants are a sight to behold -- the vedge area is exploding with green. There are still a few boys in there, but even so, the tent is going to be full, full. I'm loving this...

Peace

While I always hear that that is the Rule of Thumb. I personally have not found it to be so. I believe that I have just as many males show after the girls as before...kind of a 50/50 thing like male/female ratios.

 

[HemperFi]

I am keeping on top of things. Every day I examine every plant with a magnifying glass. The tallest, best-looking plants are the first ones I check. I believe I know which ones are male already, but no nanners yet -- I will keep a close watch on them -- even though I'm a little suspect in my ability to decern the difference -- I WILL learn to tell the difference betweena male and female preflower -- soon.

Peace

From experience and in 15 years constantly growing over 50+ strains ive yet to have a female come close height or vigorous growth wise to a male so im sticking with my 'rule of thumb' being correct thg

LOL--I have a great deal of experience, too and simply have not found that to be true (just recently had a small male BTB that showed later than the girl).

I'm just saying to keep your eyes open...as this certainly is not always the case.
