Trust me. Don't skimp on the light. You will regret it. And the last thing you want to do is rebuild a grow room with a bunch of plants in it already. The bare minimum you want to use is 23W CFLs. Nothing weaker. No regular bulbs, no reptile bulbs, nothing but CFL or HID (I know you can't...

Going through a similar issue, what I did was get one of those DuPont air filters with the odor control and activiated carbon embedded. It's for pet odor control in homes. It comes much larger than most homes need (at least my home unit) so I installed it as directed and had a bunch left over. I...

Probably too late to reverse them. Just manually pluck. You may get a few beans in your harvest but nothing to stress over. May even get some good phenos out of them!

I feel your pain. I started my harvest around 9pm thinking I'd be in bed by 1. I didn't get to sleep until 7am... just plug away. I made a pot of coffee and chased it with a red bull. Put on some Spotify playlists and smoke some scissor hash to calm the nerves lol.

Are all the buds like that? It's weird. Maybe I'm just stoned but I can't think of many buds that should mature like that normally. This is my bud 3 days into drying.

Some drying buds. Tomorrow I'll put them in paper bags until the weekend, then jar them. Critical+: White Siberian:

I think it's the bud.

Honestly, small for 5 weeks of veg. I switched to flower on my plants on day 30 from germ. and they were considerably taller and bushier. Both strains were 50/50 mix.

100 true CFL watts isn't the current issue though. While they may be inadequate for large plants, there is no reason why 4 bulbs can't get at least 10 seedlings sprouted and into early veg. They certainly wouldn't retard growth as described in the OP.

Growing weed and harvesting buds that are considered 'good' are two different things. It's not hard to throw a seed in some dirt, water it, and pluck "something" off of it and smoke. But to complete a grow, get fat, ripe, quality buds... that takes patience, research and dedication - and these...

2 hits of my shit after 2 days of drying and I'm zonked! It was just a tiny fluffy popcorn bud though, not even .1 grams. Smoke whenever it burns naturally, without using an oven, microwave, hair dryer or anything else. It may not taste its best like it will after a cure, but you grew it... do...

Still not enough info.... Temps? Humidity? A pic? Attics can be dangerous to grow in.. wild temperature swings, etc.

That's about the best single sentence of advice there is. It's way easier to kill/retard a plant by trying too hard than it is the opposite. Over-compensating and lack of patience kills more pot than anything I'm sure!

Got a cellphone and dropbox? Works a treat! You definitely have problems. I had something happen a long time similar. Put seedlings in soil that was too compact and they just sat there for 2 weeks. Transplanted them to airy, lightly moist soil and they exploded with growth in a week. 2in...

Because different strains adapt to native conditions through evolution. The strains you find in hot tropical areas are not the same you find in cooler mountainous regions. Even within the Sativa/Indica families themselves the plants will differentiate themselves based on climate and conditions...

I still got some crit+ and white beans left so I'll probably just play with those before ordering something new. I learned a lot last grow and think I can do better. These strains I have are sturdy and forgiving, I put them through hell learning hydro and they came out pretty well. For the...

I'm no botanist but my understanding is that when pollen lands on a pistil it retracts into the calyx where seed formation takes place.

In a cool dry place they stay good for years. I've heard of 5-10% success rates germinating seeds from the 70s.. some of which were just in a tin box in a drawer for 2 decades.

Looks like you just went through the painful process of cloning for the first time without intention! Clones are delicate and often look way worse before they look better. The key is not to overcompensate - the most common mistake for beginners! Turned out to look great! Hope you enjoy dat smoke!

Just check them daily and when you start seeing an amber pop up here and there then cut them. You look like you are entering the harvest window for sure. Great looking buds!
