Getting worst.

[veilz2]

im 2 weeks and 3 days into bloom, i flushed like you said i was just wondering what i need to bring my baby back, ty.

[MOBEONER]

mobeoner, didn't know you had a little baby too. harvest if you want, or let it go a little longer. I was more curious about the big one.

veliz2, are you in veg cycle or bloom? use a veg fert for veg cycle.
make sure that it has the micronutes plants need.

The smaller plant was planted later in the summer maybe that's why it never grew much but unlike the big plant this little guy is fuzzy and it stinks like pure bud. I have been watching you tube video on harvesting and it seems like a long process with the curing and all. Is all that necessary?
Any one got tips on harvesting ?

People chop them down and let them dry to make burning easier. You can do what you want to it. Let it dry or not.

Growing cannabis is a practice in patience. Your little plant never grew much before flowering because cannabis is a "Photo period sensitive" plant meaning, that it flowers when the light cycle lowers to a certain level. Your day/ night cycle hit a point that induced flowering before it grew big.


There's lots of threads here on harvesting and when to do it, I'm in the thralls of a harvest myself.

Part of harvest timing depends on your strain, the rest depends on personal preference. You should use the trichomes as your gauge for judging harvest time tho (they are the microscopic hairs that are both on your flowers and leaves)

As for the curing, Yes it is necessary if you desire smooth good tasting smoke that burns longer and will stay light without having to have fire right on top of it. But it not needed if you don't mind choking your ass off with every hit and only getting 2 hits per bowl. Again,... it comes to personal preference.

Also, proper flushing and trimming effect the finished product, again, there are threads on this site that cover these things if you do some legwork.


Pic 1: Harvest from just a single plant, the side cutters are there for size comparison, and I needed them to take the branches off of the main stem! Note the yellow fan leaves in the pile? I've been flushing this plant for 2 weeks knowing that harvest was near. My Cell phone cant catch it, but the flower calyx's are actually a deep royal purple covered in trichome's that look almost like a misting of honey! imp: Strain is Grandaddy Purple, and this pheno isn't a high yield, but the smoke is impressive, so I'm pretty happy with this harvest.

So what's the story on your big plant? How's it looking?

I dont think they are doing too well. Its been nothing but rainy cold and no sun out for the pass 2 weeks.
The little plant leave tip are starting to go dark purple to like black.
the Big plant has not changed at all. Should i cut the little guy down now?

I took one of the lower smaller buds off the big plant and made my buddy smoke it. he said it tasted like sh*t. I am sure its because the lack of sun but i dont know..

[MOBEONER]

Also what the hell is this growing out the side???? looks like two miniature bananas.LOL

[polishpollack]

the yellow bananas usually mean it's a hermie, or hermiphrodite. a mix of both sexes in one plant. lack of sunlight could be a problem for the big one.

[MOBEONER]

That sucks because the little plant smells like raw BUD. Well it looks like I am going to cut them down this week. I have a white russian seen and I am going to start all over indoors. Does it matter that it's winter now? Will the plant grow regardless it's the end of the season?

[canniwhatsis]

Again, it's a photo period sensitive plant. If your using natural light to grow indoors it's going to kick to flower right away like the little one did.


Do some more reading before you try and start an indoor grow.
