Just a little journal............

Hello HappySmoke :) I'll have to try and get a few better pics because I'm really thinking that they are on there way out ............honestly they don't look anything like what they normally should at this stage :o

Anyway love just as a little test to satisfy myself I've put the MH bulb back in tonight and I'm going to keep a close eye on their progress over the next week or so. I know the MH is far from ideal for flowering but it's just to see if it will perk them up a bit ;) if it does then I think the HPS may be a faulty bulb.

I don't usually have this much to do with them but then again I don't usually have problems like this ...................to be honest it's kinda putting the "stress" into growing :(


love mand xxx :)

MAND UR A PRO, Just do what feels right go with ur gut feelings if you think somethings up it just might, I pretty sure you'll do good.. good luck :rasta:

I enjoy reading your journal//

Thankyou B :) Well the situation now is I have put the MH bulb back in, so what I'm going to do is give them a about a week under that and see if they get any perkier (is that how you spell perkier :confused: :o ). If they do then I will put back in the HPS just too see if they go down hill again ;)
If they do go down hill then the bulb is faulty.
You see I'm trying to avoid buying another bulb because the HPS has only been used on the last grow and they cost £30 each :eek:

Now on the other hand if they don't perk up under the MH bulb in a week then I'm just going to stick the HPS back in and then they are on there own ;)


Thankyou Starchild :) I'm pleased that you like it :)
I have to admit though that this grow has become a hassel, I don't like problems :(
Anyway like I said above that's the plan now that's all I'm doing from now on, if they make it to harvest then excellent, if they don't I'll just start again ;)
All I'm going to do is the little experiment with the bulbs, I'm not doing anymore faffing around with them after that.


Bye for now, love mand xxx :)




Just a little addition ..............actually on the pics they don't look that bad but if you saw them in the flesh so to speak and compared them to how they normally are ......there is a difference ;) xxx

Hi Mand :) Maybe it is the humidity in the growroom that is not getting you youre desired results :confused: Is it in a shed? maybe you could move the growroom inside :thumbsup: hehe in the cover of darkness :stoned: or somewhere else where it is dryer because if it is humidity then mould can grow :( oh I am missing my baby already so worried wont see it until tomorrow :o Maybe you are just being overly worried because it looks good to moi! :rasta:

Hello Fugitive :) it's a brick built out house type of thing love. I thought I'd just update the sitiation again but it's not very good :(

Firstly I got rid of one more male, luckly it was the sickly looking runt so that's ok ;) so I'm left with ten females.
The growroom now is dry and the compost was dry so I just gave them a little water.
I put the HPS bulb back in last night and they seem to have gone all droopy again .................it's starting to make me think that the bulb is faulty, so tonight I'm going to put MH back in again and this time I will leave it in a few days and see if they pick up again, if they do I think I will have to buy a new HPS bulb :(
I have to admit I am really puzzled by this grow, everyone says the bulb won't do that and I agree with them.....................but I'm really starting to wonder :confused:

I'll just add a couple of pics from today ;)


Ah well never mind bonfire night tomorrow, fireworks, hot dogs and roast chestnuts...................something to look forward to :)


love mand xxx :)

:D Hiya Mand!! sorry to read your having problem with your grow but you know whats up, hopefully it will get better, I'm sure of one thing and that is everyone on these boards is rooting for ya and ya plants. :) Really cool journal regardless ;)

Been a lil out of pocket, so haven't been posting for awhile . All is well, and wanted to say hi , write more in a bit when have a bit more time

Bill :D

Hello Bill :) I'm affraid it's being a really busy and hetic weekend here what with work, firework parties and well getting a little bit worse for wear last night :o

Anyway strange thing is when I put the MH bulb in it seems to make the plants happy and perk up a bit................I'm sure that HPS is faulty I think I'm going to take it back to the shop as it was only used on the last crop.
Also I'm starting to think my growroom roof has a leak, it was dry in there but we have had plenty of rain and it's looking a little bit damp again :(

Well the final total of females seems to be 10, which is not bad out of 16. The flowering is starting to pick up now as well so I've included a few more photo's ;)

As soon has I find time I must take that bulb back and try another ;)

nice to hear from you Bill.......................love mand xxx :)


Oh the white bits on the leaves is where I dropped a bit of plant food on them.................it don't do them much good does it :o

Beautiful babies.Last night I was out until 3am and boy am I tired..

sorry to comeout of no where but since u brougth up a lighting problem i was wondering if 400w 50,000 lumens light would b anywhere near adaquent for my first grow 4to 6 seedlings in a closet grow in hopes of a couple/few females any response would b highly appreciated..and very inspiring thread keep up da good grow

Hello Starchild :) oh dear love a late night for you as well, I know the feeling I'm absolutely worn out today ;)
We had a bonfire night party last night and I did get a little .......well wasted :o
Lots of family and friends came round and it was a really nice evening.
I'll just tell you about a friend from work who came, well it was her husband really, he bought a little cannabis with him and said to me that I had to try it as it was really "good stuff". Oh dear I smoked a joint and it really was the weakest weed I have ever had, to be honest my leaves are far more potent.
Anyway I gave him a joint of mine, well the poor bloke his face went a funny grey colour and he had to go and have a lie down in the spare bedroom. When my friend (his wife) went to check on him he was totally fast asleep.
I know I shouldn't but that made me smile ;)

Hello BkSkillz :) 400 watt for 4-6 seedlings sounds plenty to me love ;)
I use a 400 watt lamp and I generally start of with a pack of 16 seeds and the results are ok ;)
This grow as been causing me a few problems though, as you can see :o but I'm hoping it will all turn out ok in the end :)

When you start the grow BkSkillz, please let us know how it goes, do a little journal :)

Good luck :)


love mand xxx :)

Hello :)

Well I'm starting to think I should rename this thread "How not to grow Cannabis" :o
For a start I'm running a MH bulb at present, I will try the HPS one more time later in the week to see if it effects the plants again.
Then these are the sickest looking plants I have ever grown, all the fan leaves look droopy :(
The growroom refuses to dry out properly, when I have the door shut at night the condensation just keeps forming on the celling.
They are flowering but there is no sign of any sticky resin yet.
Oh and I just found two male flowers on one of the plants.

This grow is really driving me up the wall ...................but never mind there only plants ;)


love mand xxx :)


Oh and if I go off line for a while..................I'm having a sulk :rolleyes:

Hiya Mand, :D Your plants really don't look that sickly to me, but you are able to see the changes that may not be apparant to everyone looking at the pics. The patience one must aquire to let ones grow flourish at it's best under any set of given enviromental situations or methods sometimes escapes me, myself. I find myself sometimes over reacting to noticeable but really insignificant changes in my plants and on the flip side I have found myself overly tending to my plants in ways that (if they don't have any problems)leave the plants in a state of recovery from my over zealous attempts to care for them. Sometimes, the bottom line being, I am better off stepping back and letting them do their thing. ;) Now I realize your are an experienced grower with many more grows behind you than many of us, certainly more grows indoors than me but the concept of patience does escape us all at times and maybe , just maybe now the transition from veg to flowering on this grow may be just a little more difficult than your used to, after all isn't this one of your first grows indoors that you have changed your lighting from MH to HPS for flowering?? Maybe they aren't really doing as poorly as you think?? I noticed on my last grow that the slower sicklier plants at first when put into flowering towards the end were actually the best of the bunch.

On the subject of the MH and HPS lights, and since you seem to be narrowing the possibilities down to the lights being a factor, could it possibly be a heat factor?? If I am not mistaken a 400 watt HPS bulb puts out more heat than a 400 watt MH doesn't it? Perhaps the difference in tempature from the bulbs was just enough to have effected the plants?? Since the light you have is a switchable ballast and all you had to do was change the bulbs it would be real easy to change them and not the distance of the lights from the plants when you switched the bulbs for flowering with your HPS. Perhaps the light with the Hps bulb was too close??? I don't know but Just a little food for thought, like I said they look pretty good to me. :thumbsup:

Fireworks? Bonfires? :confused: what was the occasion, Holloween? or do you have Halloween in the UK? LOL I usually relate fireworks to the fourth of july (independence day)lol! Of course getting Blazed till the wee hours I can relate to just about any of the 365 days of the year. No..... not all 365 days but any one of the 365(or probably for me more like the majority of the 365 days)as certainly, I am proned to be wasted more than just one day a year...lol :D

Well I better stop here before I take another toke of the bong and turn this into a chapter :dance:

peace Darlin,
Bill

Hello Bill :) I always use the HPS for flowering and never have any trouble................except for the one time when I lost a crop because the bulb was worn out with age, mind you Bill I'm starting to wonder if that was the actual problem now :confused:
As for this present crop I really don't know what the problem is ????, but anyway I've given up hasseling about it ;)
The buds are starting to come on now but there is absolutely no signs of the resin yet, normally at this stage there is quite a bit of resin on the buds and the leaves. Prehaps they are late developer's :rolleyes:
The tempreture is fine, honestly Bill I've grown them in there when it's been the middle of summer and really hot and sticky, also in the depths of winter when you can see you're breath in there but they managed to grow and produce a harvest ;)

I will just put the HPS back in a few days from now and see what happens but other than that they are on their own from now.


Oh Bonfire night (5th November) that's Guy Fawkes night, you know the bloke who tried to blow Parliment up ;) It's traditional that everyone lets of fireworks for the kids whilst the adults get drunk :)
The thing is I don't smoke everyday maybe twice a week but when I do I like to know I've had a smoke, I'm not stingy with it ;)
However on Saturday I really got totally wasted because I had quite a few Vodkas as well :o
Hmmmm Cannabis and Vodka.................well we all have our little vices ;)


lovely to hear from you Bill, take care and I'll see you soon ............

love mand xxx :)

Hello :) well last night I put the HPS back in the growroom and by this afternoon the plants had gone droopy again :(

The last few days they have been under the MH bulb and have started to pick up quite a bit :)

So what I am going to do now is to finish this grow under the MH and when I start the next crop I will just do it as normal, vegitive growth - MH........flowering -HPS and then if there are problems I will have to replace the HPS bulb.
I really can't say 100% that it is the HPS bulb at fault but I'm thinking it more than likely is ;)

Anyway I'll just put on a coupe of pics from yesterday under the MH bulb and then I'll add a couple from today so that you can see how they have drooped under the HPS.

love mand xxx :)

Me again :o

Todays after nearly twelve hours under the HPS :(

love mand xxx :)

hello Mand
sorry 2 hear ur havin probs with ur grow there hun
i`ve been away for a few weeks!! left a m8 in charge of mine while i was away and thankfully i came home to some healthy plants ( i put a few pics of them on my own thread tonight)
At 1st i thought ur problems were definately due to ur condensation - looked really bad and all that water running down on them will do them no good! specially with the lights on too!! but now i think ur right.
although it`s a little difficult to tell from just pics -- ur plants are definately lookin worse as soon as you put that hps over them :(
If i was U - for the sake of 30 quid i`d rush a new hps bulb in the mail !!
i`d rather that than lose an entire crop that to be honest is lookin fantastic!!!
U never had probs b4 when switching bulbs?? was gonna suggest that maybe it`s a heat difference or sommat but i`m sure you know by now - u`ve had enough grows under ur belt to know!!
Dont give up on them cos there`s a 1000 people on here that dream of having plants like them!!!! :D :D :D
Good luck mand
Digi

Hello Digi :) Well everyone keeps telling me it can't be the lights and I really had to agree with them but the plants don't seem to be listening :o :)
After just a few hours back under the MH and they look much happier.

It looks like I will be finishing this crop off under the MH though. Well I have a few Birthdays to buy for, a great big pile of bills to pay and then there's Christmas coming up so I'm going to need every penny I can find for the next month or so :(
Anyway it will be intresting to compare how the flowering goes under a MH bulb ;)
I've quite a large stash put aside from the last crop so I've no worries there and I'l get a new HPS bulb after Christmas.

I'll just add some pics that show how they have picked up after about 7 hours under the MH bulb.


love mand xxx :)

:smokin: Maybe something funny got in the compost

Hello FP :) .....................hmmmm probably to much horse poo ;)

I'm sure the compost is ok .......................I hope :o

I'm not even sure that the HPS is faulty it worked great last time and all it's done is sit in a box since then. I just think it's a combination of things that have caused the plants to react badly to the HPS :confused:

Anyway they are on their own now, I'm sure there will be a harvest, probably not a very dynamic one but there will be one ;)

We shall see what happens next time, that will be in the depths of winter :eek: and I will try the same bulb again but if there are any problems then I will have to get a new one ;)

love mand xxx :)


Ok then I have the house all to myself tonight :) so it's a case of phone of the hook, a couple of spliffys, a couple of vodka and oranges and a nice sloppy film ........................no more posts of me for tonight ;)

oh myyyyyy........ like to be in the UK , stonoya(spelling) silver label?
in a chimney glass just enough oj to give it some color mmmmmm..... :dance:

your the bomb , mand, love how you word things, kind of enticingly sexy,
Bill :D

Hello Bill :) , Ah well Bill an evening curled up on the sofa alone though love :(

Only kidding Bill ;) most of the time there's always someone wanting something from me, being it a family member or a work. So to get an evening just doing my own thing is like a little piece of heaven for me :)
Just to be able to relax with a little homegrown a little drop a the old vodka (Smirnoff ;) ), a great big bar of my favourite chocy :) whilst watching the "African Queen" is pure unadultrated bliss :)


Hmmm I think I'm going of the subject of growing cannabis a little.................never mind ;) . When I started this journal and the plants were growing better than I have ever seen before I thought "oh great looks like a absolutely fantastic grow to make a little journal off", but it looks like it's going to end up being just a very mediocore type grow :o .
However never mind like I always say as long as there is enough for me and it's cheaper than buying it, well that's all that matters ;)
Now if I could just learn how to distill my own vodka, I'd have it made :)

Always so lovely to hear from you Bill................by the way I haven't got a clue what to do with those bloody Ants ;)



love mand xxx :)

nice to see ur plants are growing along nicely, I hope your still on when i start my

grow Mand which should be in a week or so? :confused:

Perhaps the grow may not be going well from your vantage point but it looks pretty good to me. And be it good or mediocre your journal is useful to everyone who reads it. we learn by trial and error and < though unfortunate> we probably learn more by mistakes so if we can learn by others it can be nothing less than useful. So I don't think anyones grow journal can be anything less than appreciated. So now what??LOL :D

Distilling Smirnoff.......hmmmmm what a thought, grow room and distillary both running under the same CO2 bottle, what a concept :stoned:

Oh and the ants ..... been a full on war, the buggers are wearing flack vest lol. tried spraying them with dish soap . Seemed to ward them off for a lil while but when i watered all the buckets started bubbling over with suds from the dishsoap LMAO so anyway seems first rounds been a draw, I mean waht can ya say when four thousand ants are rolling on the floor laughing at cha? :D TOO FUNNY!

Peace(with everybody but the ants :D )
Bill

Oh dear Bill That made has made my morning :) just the thought of soap suds every where and the ants probably wondering "what's this guy up too" , while having a chuckle about it all :)
Hey do you think I should check out any sites on how to "distill you're own",.................. eeerrr then again that does sound technical :o think I'll just stick to the odd "booze cruise" for it ;)


Hello BDA :) I should be still here, I hope I'm still here..................unless the police are reading this and decide to pay me a little vist :eek:
Yes do a little grow log ;) I look forward to that :)



Ok an update :o ...........Well for a start I got the numbers wrong :rolleyes: , there aren't ten females, there's nine.................my fault I just can't count ..........sorry :o

Anyway there still under the MH, I'm just not sure if the HPS is faulty or if there are other conditions making the plant's react badly to it :confused:
The flowering is coming along slowly and the resin production is starting to come along even slower. Mind you there's still away to go yet, I think a harvest around Christmas time.

I'll just add a few pics from this morning ;)


love mand xxx :)

Mand i recieved all my supplies for my 1st grow. I just need to set up my closet Im planning to grow 4 - 6 plants but i wanna know how do you germ ur seeds? and I have 10 seeds whats the ratio for all those guys to hatch from ur experience

Hello B :) I find that the best way to germinate seeds is the paper towel method.
Put about four or five sheets of kicthen roll on a plate and give them a sprinkling of water but drain off all the excess. Put the seeds on the damp sheets and cover with another four or five layersand damp them. Just remember you want them damp not with pools of water on them. You can use toilet roll but it kinda disintergrates, kitchen roll is better ;)

Then just put them out the way somewhere, an "airing cupboard"/"hot water tank cupboard" is fine, it's dark and the tempreture is nice and even. However it's really not too important were they are put, I'm just telling you my favourite place ;)
Remember to check them now and again and make sure they don't dry out. As soon as the sprout appears put it in the soil, with the sprout end pointing downards.................just remember "pointy end down"................and that's it :)


Oh dear B it's really immpossible to tell how many will germinate, on my first ever try none at all germinated, but I always use Sensi Seeds now and the germination rate is usually 100%, there is the odd time that one or two might fail. It just really depends on the seeds you have, there age and just their quality. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you .............good luck :)


love mand xxx :)

Glad I could make you smile, it looks like the war with the ants is over I got some stuff that had skull and cross bones all over it. Sprayed around grow area but not on plants, next day only a few ant beach towels and beach balls remained lol.

Your plants are looking up aye mand? hope so!

I use paper towels or just a wash cloth folded over for germinating seeds. Why do you use like five layers of towels top and bottom?

Tried ole Harddons hash oil method with some trimmings , water leaves and added a few buds for good measure and got a small amount of oil but it is definitely good :smokin: Considering it was made with what is otherwise normally useless leavesand all it's pretty good. Certainly worth the effort and it is really very easy to do. Noticed you kept the recipe, ya ought to give it a whirl.

The "African Queen" aye??? ;)
ya think they have a site on how to distill Vodka?? If not you could always start one lol ;)

talk at ya later sexy,
Bill

Thanks Mand. about how long do they take to sprout?

Hello B :) again it depends on the seeds and the variety to some degree, but normally they should germinate within just a couple of days.........usually two days ;)



Hello Bill :) yep the Skull and crossbones ones always seem to do the trick ;) :)

Oh the paper towels, well I always like a few good layers so they retain the moisture and don't dry out so easily................I usually only have to dampen them the once at the begining ;)

I don't think I'll bother with the still just yet Bill, blimey if the authorities come around here I'll be in enough trouble as it is now, with a still as well they would throw away the key :o

I may just try the "Hash Oil", when I have time :o , I've heard of it before and have been told it's really rather good :)


Oh yes I like most of the old films especailly the soppy ones ;) but then again I don't think you can beat a good horror film. I like to watch them when alone with all the lights out..........scare myself silly, it's ok I'm still a little girl at heart :o





Hmmm the plants ..........well they are flowering (slowly) but the resin is starting to show now.
However the tempreture is dropping at night, there has been a few frosts, so this will slow down the plants metobolic rate a bit.


Here's just a few pics but there's not too much happening ;)


love mand xxx :)

Yummy!

Nice job Mand, I have my closet half way built with 2 hours of labor it should

be done. I'm going to start germ the seeds tomorrow, I'm excited but I'm

also scared I hope I do well my first grow. Oh do u recommend anything

with my soil for my seedlings I read about your horse poo but I think I'll be

hard to get here in the city, so anything else you can recommend? :o

Hello S :) ;)


Hello B :) Don't worry love, there's lots of imformation on here that will help you along with the grow ;)
Well I do like to use my own compost, however the main reason I started using it was simply it was for free, and I just chuck everything in it grass cuttings, dead plants, vegatable peelings and yes horse poo :) ..........basiclly anything that will rot down easily.
However I've used bags of compost from the garden centre before, infact I might be doing that on my next grow, at the moment my compost heap is frozen solid and when it's like that it's really difficult to dig out.

So don't worry :) if you have any problems you can always ask the guys on here what to do, then just work out which is the best method for you ;)




Well the tempreture has really dropped down now, frosts every night for the last few days so the tempreture in the growroom is low. The plants are still under the MH bulb but they are flowering ok, although there isn't going to be any big buds they are coming on and are spread around quite well ;)
Oh they are starting to get quite sticky with resin as well :)
I'm not going to try the HPS again I'll do that on the next grow and if they have problems then I'll buy another bulb...............this lot is just going to be finished under the MH ;)


love mand xxx :)

they look real healthy to me Mand. Looks like they are going to pop out some nice buds. Odd that you had problems under your hps light . Curious to see what your findings are on that.

Why do you not think your going to get any big buds ? You pinched them once earlier, aye??

Glad to see they are coming along better for you and great journal !! :dance:

Peace
Bill :D

Hello Bill :) I just called on before bed and saw you're post ;)

I really don't know if the HPS is faulty, all I know is they reacated badly to it............I honestly don't know why, but if it happens again on the next grow then I'll just have to buy a new bulb.
I am trying to avoid that as they cost £30 each :(

Why no big buds ?............... Well Bill they just don't look right to me and the truth is I never really grow massive buds anyway :o
I look at it this way Bill, as long as there is enough for me then I'm happy :) and if the buds are a little small ...........well I just grow more plants ;)
I am pleased to say though that they are getting quite sticky, I know you're not supposed to handle them at all, but I can't help just giving them a little gentle squeeze to see how sticky :o

I can fully understand why the guys on here do like to go to to various lengths with lights and nutrients and all the tech stuff..........they are simply trying to grow the best plants and buds they possibly can, and I have to say some of the results are amazing...........far better than I could ever manage.
However Bill you know me, I'm just set in my ways ;)

Ok I'm just going to finish my last glass of Smirnoff for the evening then time for bed ;)


Goodnight .................love mand xxx :)

hi Mand! I do the same thing, can't resist giving them a little pinch and giving the fingers a little sniff ! The aroma is hard to beat. I have had some Kush plants, they are so different as far as bud structure and plant size(rather small), but WOW do they ever have a heavy pungent smell to them. :D Wish I could find out how to keep that smell through the drying process.?!

Have you ever considered getting a wee bit technical and trying to grow Hydro with all the fixins?? It's actually alot of fun and you might find it interesting and a bit challenging. Of course you would have to spend a lil more time at it and that may be difficult if your busy like you suggest you are. I don't know but you might consider it? :p ;)

I think its great that you grow for your needs and it looks like you have got that down, that's cool. As long as your happy that's all that counts. ;)

Well it's astonishing that you are a grandma, and just had ta tell ya you look great for a mom and a grandma both :thumbsup:

Well it's my time for sleep too, It's always nice to read your post, thanks, sweet dreams
Peace
Bill :D

Hello Bill :) To be truthfull love I have absolutely no idea what cannabis or anything else smells like, I have no sense of smell whatsoever :o
Tell you what with Christmas coming up I always get perfume given me for pressies and I just haven't got a clue what it smells off................for all I know I can be going around smelling like a donkeys backside and wouldn't know ;) :)

Have I considered going "Hydro" ?.............Well I have had people tell me that it's not really too difficult but I just never really fancied it, who knows maybe one day I might :confused:

Hmmm, being a grandma :) Well Bill it made me age an entire generation in one night ;)
You know Bill I was actually present at his birth. You see the dad :rolleyes: I'll call him that just to be polite, had long since scarpered of the scene.
My daughter came into labour at saturday tea time, so I ran her down to the maternity ward and a few hours later I was a granny :)
I have to say though if I had ever had seen a baby being born before I had mine, there is no way I would have had kids :o



Well I think I'm going of the subject of growing cannabis here :o so I'll just add a few bud pics taken today .................try and put the thread back on track ;)
It's very cold outside now and it's very cold in the growroom, they are under the MH bulb................however the buds are coming along ok-ish :)

I reckon about 4 weeks to harvest...............Christmas :)


love mand xxx :)

wow mand, flowers look like their comming on nicely :p

im going to be harvesting about a week after you, if things all go to plan...how much do you think your going to get out of your harvest? how many teenagers do you have growing in there?

Looks very good to say the least :D I can't wait to see how much you yield, how come you don't have a sense of smell? has it always been like that? sorry if this is a touchy subject :o \ its bloody freezing where im at (london) do you think it will have an impact ont he plants? maybe you should get a heater :cool:

Hello Fugitive :) oh no it's not a touchy subject at all :) I've never had any sense of smell, to be honest because I have never had it I've never missed it ;)
Mind you when I'm cutting he plants I can taste something off them in the air, it's a very strange and strong taste.

Yes it's very cold around here in the Midlands, I have got a small greenhouse heater which I can use, not sure if I will use it on this lot though but when I start the next seedlings then I will use it ;)

Hello Rekap :) Hmmm how much ?....................Well it's not going to be anything to get excited about I'm affraid :o To be honest this grow has been a pain in the backside :(
When I started this grow I thought it was going to be a straight forward crop that would yeild a kinda average amount of bud. However with all the problems it's just going to be a really mediocore harvest I'm affraid.
Tell you what I'll just do a little update on todays problem ;)


Well the plant which I was shocked when it started showing female flowers (I thought it was going to be male), has turned all hermmie on me :o
I noticed quite a few male flowers mixed in with the female buds, I tried to pick them out but they were so spread around that I would have had to cut away much more than I would have liked too.
Anyway I thought to save the rest of the crop from being at risk from pollunation I would cut it............very early but it is resinous so I have salvaged something from it :)

Anyway I suppose that this journal has showed just how many problems can occur when growing :o

I'll just add a couple pics, in the first one I was trying to show some of the male fowers, you can't see them all but near the top on the left hand side there are a couple showing.
The second pic is whats left of the plant after I had been at it with the sisscors......................she is now hanging up drying .............not a total lose though it was quite resinous so it will still be very smokeable ;)


love mand xxx :)
