Hello @Natethenewb , No it is definitely not too early if you do it right. Try pulling the very last shoot with your fingers until it snaps. This is how I top. It causes minimal stress since you only take off a tiny part of the plant! (: Happy new year man,

Yes that type of squat and sturdy structure could be very useful for outdoor growers in windy areas. Thank you man! Happy New Year to you too ;)

Hello! I you leaves some dead leaves on the plant, that can sometimes cause fungal diseases. This is why it's better to take them off. However, even when the leaves are a little yellow, they can still be a nutrient reserve for the plant. Just like @mmjmon said, if the leaves come off when you...

Hey there! :wink: The Afghans are all starting to bloom nicely. I have put all the males in another room to avoid pollen contamination. Some plants stretch a bit more than others and some have an incredibly thick stem. These will never need support :shock:

Hello @URaDEADBEATdad That's a great question. It is definitely possible although the results won't be that great unless you choose the right strain, use a glass house and use supplemental lighting (Just for a couple of hours per day). Then, you could harvest some really good quality...

Hey @Nixy2 To me, it looks like an over-watering. The shape of the leave along with the pale green color made me think about that. Is the growing media always wet? What did you feed them? Cheers mate,

Here is a little update for you guys! I treated all the Afghans with a solution of Neem oil and Black soap. There aren't any pests though, but prevention is the best cure. ;) The pic is from yesterday, 11 days after switching to 12/12. I'm loving these fat broad leaves... Most males have...

@Seymour Green Thank you. Yes, me too. Stem smell can be different from actual bud smell so we'll see. The Afghan plants are starting to show sex right now :wink: @medicman69 It's gonna be like a little treasure hunt. @beacher Thanks Beacher! Yes they are. The Stems are very very thick too.

What's up Rollitup members! (: Here are some of the Afghans exactly 7 days after I switched them to flower. Some plants are starting to smell really good. Most of them have a skunky smell. When I rub the stems, some phenos smell like burnt rubber while others have a more fruity smell and a...

Hello @David Ferguson. Your plants on the pictures look okay. There are 3 major factors that can make the bud denser or looser. The light: A lack of light would inevitably make the buds less dense. The vipar spectra may not have a lot of light penetration? The Strain: To get dense buds, you...

Nice strategy! Are you going to grow some crazy Sativas? Personally I like starting the "Sativas" (NLD) :leaf: directly in 12/12 to limit the stretch indoors. And I usually vegg Indicas :weed: for 5 to 10 days before flipping them to flower. Not trying to maximize yields but pheno hunt...

@Seymour Green Thanks brother! I transplanted today into some 5 liter pots (1.3 gallon) and just used some light mix and a bit of seabird guano. The seedlings were starting to get a little rootbound so it was time to transplant. I'll flip them to flower tomorrow! I wonder how much they are...

@Seymour Green I really appreciate the words of encouragement dude, thank you! The seeds germinated only 12 days ago and yet some of them already have a skunky smell. What matters most is how the buds will end up so there's no way to know whether we'll find really something outstanding but...

@Palmerrdgrower your plants look really bushy. It seem like some of your flowering plants look a little nute burnt, don't they? I like the one in the last pic. It has a great sturdy structure!

Awesome dude! You can post a pic on this thread if you want so we can see how they compare. Where are the seeds from? The ones I'm growing right now are from the Balkh Province.

Thank you man! Yes you are right! If you select some plants for the same traits over many generations, at some point the offspring will breed true for these trait. (Meaning they will be homozygous for the genes that code for these traits). Thus, the diversity and variability go down and all the...

Hello El Connoisseur! This is a very good topic. It is hard to give you a straight answer as not all "Indica" :weed: strains have the same level of stretch. I would say roughly after about 10 days but it depends on the strain and on your grow light. The more powerful the light, the more light...

Thanks brother! I wish I could only grow a few plants but unfortunately, you have to run a descent number of plants to find some outliers. Most of them will be culled and thrown away at some point during the selection.. :(

Here are the seedlings 8 days after germination. They were transplanted yesterday from the seedling tray they were in to some opaque plastic cups. So far so good. Most of them are vigorous. What surprises me is how dark the leaves are! :shock: They are growing in some biobizz light mix and have...

Thank you man! I'll transplant them today and post some new pictures tomorrow
