harvesting my baby

[dust22]

okay, so my last post was about how my plant was looking unhealthy, droopy etc..

well i was told it was close to time for harvest, but i thought differnetly because there are little pockets, like sacs that i thought were going to open up and produce bud, but they haven't yet.


i don't see anything that looks like actual weed on my plant, does it take the form of weed during drying/curing?

sry, first time growing.
hope this made sense.

if you dont have buds you have a male plant and if you have a male plant you dont have any weed. the buds will be cylindrical shaped (well umm buds) they will have orange or white hairs on them and if you have "balls" they are filled with pollen and you def dont want to smoke those.

[MotleyCrue0226]

well i looked at your last post and the plant you have is a female the stuff you are going to smoke is in the center of the thick branches i dont know how to describe this but you def have buds and allot of them great outdoor grow!!!

[dust22]

no, she's definitley not a male, but it turns out she has been pollinated by my male plant, before i got a chance to kill em.

:[[


stressful.

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

yeah...well if you want, just keep the seeds and start over, this time chuck the males...plant did look tall and healthy though. tough break

[MotleyCrue0226]

im curious how you cant tell if your plant has been polinated? i havent tried research yet but i know they produce seeds.

[dust22]

i didn't know until the other day, i plucked off a completely brown calyx, thinking it was a dead flower & out popped a full seed.

[MotleyCrue0226]

are you hopind only a few buds were contaminated or have you decided it has all been "raped"

[dust22]

oh no i'm pretty sure it's going to be alright.

not seedless, but alright.


plus she's my first plant, and all my friends and family are quite excited to smoke something we all watched grow up
