Wow, thats a loaded sentence there.

You went from "now on to A question", to 3 of them, all 3 can have drawn out answers but I will just take a stab at them.

1. After a week or 2 of flowering you will see Either a pair of white hairs coming out of the base of some of the branches (Female) OR a shape of a ball that looks like a mini bunch of grapes or just a base of a sewing pin.(Male) Keep an eye as those are the only 2 things you will see....a pod with 2 white "hairs" or a pod or series of pods.(DITCH the Podded one ASAP)

2.The hairs will work their way to flowers and the flowers will look for pollen and get frustrated and keep growing...MAKE sure the Males are LONG gone or they will focus on seed making and not flower making. "Buds" will form, keep them healthy and they will not cause trouble.

3. You harvest when the plant tells you, this is a case by case answer according to environment and breed. You'r best bet is to get a consensus from here on a picture until you learn your specific breed.

Make sense?:stoned:
