Here we are at ten weeks. It's seems like it's been a very long time since I adopted these plants. Since the beginning seedlings were planted, it's been well over three months now. I think I may start my next seedlings next week. This crop is looking worse each day. Hopefully, something will come of it, and provide the proper motivation to continue down this road of self reliance.

Last Friday (1/26), I chopped down one of the branches. I was hoping to have some dried before the Super Bowl. I trimmed them up, and placed them in a dark place to dry until the big game. Periodically, I would check on them. Once, I sampled. Ok, twice. The second time was a big disappointment - I found a seed!

The total weight of what I cut down (shown in first photo) was a little over 22 grams. Yesterday, after five days of drying, it was about 5 grams. The smoke tastes unpleasant, and the high is very mild. After the high wears off, I get this nice headache. The taste is difficult to describe, but it tastes like what I would imagine smoking a fresh plant might taste like. Hopefully, by the game, that will be gone.

The buds are very dry and crumble in your hands. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but they don't feel like buds I've bought on the street.

Looking over the remaining plants, I have yet to find why a seed has appeared. I suppose I'll have no way of knowing until harvest. I don't think I'm fully aware of what to look for. I found this seed in my grinder, when prepping a sample for vaping.

One plant has a bud that looks downright sickly. It's part of the one that has the most healthy buds, so I'm not sure what to think. All the buds on that plant seem to have some dark leaves. I'll try to get a close up photo to post for comments. Right now, the plants are sleeping.

I'm almost a week into my flushing solution (two weeks flushing overall). Most buds still look very white, with very minimal brown pistils. I know, I should get a microscope to check them out closer. I hope to get one this weekend. Due to certain other circumstances, I may have to chop them down this weekend. I hope something smokable comes of them.
joe-grow Reviewed by joe-grow on . joe-grow's first grow Long time reader, first time poster. Long time smoker, first time grower. So, I've finally decided to take the plunge into growing. I spent the last month just reading up on the postings here, as well as some magazines I picked up at a local hydro store. This board was the most helpful, and I hope to repay that help with a grow report which I hope helps at least one other person out. During this time, I'm sure I will ask for assistance from some of you out there, and I hope that I am Rating: 5
