Since this is my first indoor grow (and my first grow in about 30 years) I am just guessing when to do what. I am going by the advice here on the boards but I find the "words of wisdom" from Zandor and Garden Knowm are probably the most valuable to me so far.
I am going to flush with water today to help eliminate any possible salts buildup from the fert I used and will probably harvest sometime next week. Heck, I'm just guessing like most of us.
I will then try to re-veg this baby to get some clones for a new grow. Hope that works. Still hoping to hear from someone with experience on this subject.

FOr the first time harvesters...
When you are absolutely, positively ready to harvest, wait one more week :D
Was some good advice I read somewhere from someone and can vouch for its veracity.
:D :D :DQuote:

DAY LENGTH AND FLOWERING - HEMP
Most rapid progress in breeding plants can be made with those that can be
self-pollinated. Hemp, obviously, can be self-pollinated only when it produces
these occasional additional flowers of the opposite sex. The advantage of
being able to increase their tendency to form these flowers is apparent.
Dr. Hugh C. McPhee of the Department made use of this behavior of hemp
several years ago.''' He used the pollen of the male flowers that were
produced in small numbers on certain of the female plants to self-pollinate
those plants. When he grew the resulting seeds he made the important
discovery that all of the plants were female. We have recently produced
several thousand seeds in this way and have not obtained a single male plant,
thus thoroughly confirming Dr. McPhee's observations'''.
Under greenhouse conditions, with proper control of temperature and day
length, a very high percentage of female plants produced enough male
flowers so that self-pollination could be effected, and in certain experimental
lots of female plants produced out-of-doors in late summer when days were
short and nights were cool, enough male flowers were formed so that natural
pollination occurred and a quantity of pure "female" seed was produced.
These results suggest that a locality can be found in which the conditions are
favorable to the formation of these intersex male flowers on female plants in
sufficient quantity that a good crop of seed could be obtained. If this could be
done, a means would be at hand to produce commercial quantities of
"female" seed, thereby enabling growers to produce a pure stand of female
plants. Such pure stands would result in a more uniform fiber crop and
eliminate certain harvest problems. The basis for developing such a
procedure lies in finding in nature a combination of environmental factors
similar to that which, under experimental conditions, has resulted in formation
of abundant male flowers.

Why did I kill my hermies.......
Wait....I think I kept one just for shits and grins and if the dogs havent gotten to it, or the bugs, I need to flower it for sure.....
Great post and THANKS....even if it is a little late :)...lol....
UPDATES....
They are growing sideways now on some of them...lol...
I have them hooked, slanted and bent every which way I can....cept for one special one.
looken real good Hard On been a while since last upadt right?
well i think its looken great
Harddon
Curious as to why you haven't covered those containers to prevent light from getting at the roots.
You dont want your roots turning into stems :eek:
Heads....
They are all either painted white or duct taped.
I have one that I have not covered, on purpose....it is in a green mountain dew bottle and I want to see if the green bottle will protect the roots from the UV-A rays....
I think they will....wont know til the end, but, thanks for noticing and asking.
I will post the results.
I think if they do protect the roots, that opens up a whole new game for me to think about for containers and various possibilities.
Where have I hears some of that before???Quote:
