Hi y'all !
This is my first time growing, in fact my first time with anything to do with cannabis !
I'm 64 and never smoked or used cannabis before, so I know very little about it.
I have chronic degenerative disorder of the spine and the drugs they give me don't work so I thought I'd give this a go on the basis that it can't get any worse and what can they do to a silly old bugger like me hahahahha
I've managed to grow one plant in my greenhouse from seed called Low Girl - a Low Rider Indicia, and it's nearly ready to harvest. Has anyone tried this brand/strain ???
I've read quite a bit about it (most very confusing and I don't understand a lot) - Cannabis FAQs / FAQ , Recipes, Medical Marijuana (http://cannabis.com/growing/index.html) - was very instructive and my plan now is to
wait until 25%-40% of the trichomes (?) have turned light brown
cut the whole plant off and hang to dry for a few days
trim the trichomes off and place those and leaves (seperately) in paper bags for a few weeks
place in air tight glass jars to cure
make cannabutter to make cookies
Does that sound about right ?????? I'm open to ALL suggestions and advice
I stopped smoking 30 years ago so don't want to smoke spliffs with tobacco, so thought I'd make cookies, but what do I do with the leaves ??? I thought perhaps I'd dry them then stuff them in an old pipe or hubble pipe to smoke - would that work ?????
Well, hope someone out there reads this and can give me some good, easy to follow advices
If this works out well, I may try several plants next year of different strains
:pimp:
