I have one plant this year. It bloomed really early, June 24 I think. I’ve been harvesting a little at a time starting September 6… in those 2 weeks, the plant has really started putting off a nice aroma and turning purple. I think the 6th was a bit early. Trimming this morning I noticed that...

30 gallon I think. 3rd year on the same Bacto potting soil. I mixed in about 1/4 of the soil with new Bacto this year and in June I added 1/2 cup of 10-10-10 . 1.5-2 gallons of water everyday. she’s far and away the nicest plant I’ve ever had!! I’ve been rolling her in the garage at night for...

Leaves turning purple

so I collected pollen by putting a baggie over the pollen sacks and shaking, it sticks to the inside of the baggie. I pollinated a few lesser buds at the bottom of my plant last week. I returned from a road trip to find the pistils on my lady at full attention… they had curled up a bit prior to...

Thanks for the advice!

I collected some today in a baggie, I “tried” pollinating 2 interior buds, by putting the bud in the bag and shaking the bag, I’ll see if it takes. I think I will try to save some of the pollen for next year.

Last year I was gifted some seed from a kind member here. It grew into, what for me, is perfect bud: Super aromatic (Basil-ish), tastes about the same as it smells, super smooth (can’t get a cough out of it no matter how you lite it), not super strong, no jittery feeling and no crash… just a...

I don’t know the origin of this, but this year marks the 7th generation being grown in my county, rural Virginia, about 900’ elevation. I call it Where’s Waldo! It blooms super early, I noticed it blooming just days after the equinox on June 26 and she’s about finished up! In the ground they...

Good advice, I’ll do that!

Thanks, I think I’ll leave them be!

I had a plant that turned out male. I whacked him off about 6” from the ground… he didn’t die. He has pollen sacks again. I have 1 female that bloomed on June 26, right after the equinox. Is she still in danger of being ruined by the male next to her? I know I can eliminate him again… but I’d...

I cut the nitrogen when I saw the first flower in early July. I think I’ll just continue with the 0-5-5 I’ve been using. I just never know when they’re ready for harvesting. Thanks for the input.

My leaves have been turning yellow for 2-3 weeks. Is it ready to harvest… in Virginia

Thank you so much for the offer, I think I found some from another poster here. Good luck with your crop !
