    My maicured buds... Brown bag or straight to jars?

    I cut my sativa Tuesday the 2'nd and hung it in my workshop to dry for about 8 days. It was an unbelievably huge amount of weed (I'm used to those little toy indicas :rolleyes:) It felt very dry at that time, but I couldn't manicure it that day, so I cut it into 12" lengths and stuffed it into a...

    Stash that slightly molded safe for ISO hash?

    When I opened a bag of a 1/2 oz. of sativa, it smelled like mold. There was no visible sign of fungus, and I left it open for a few days and now the moldy smell is gone. Is it safe to combine it with the rest of my clippings when I make my ISO hash? After being soaked with 98% alcohol and...

    Question about making ISO hash

    I read TBG's post and want to try it. My question is, can you use grocery store isopropyl alcohol, which is 70% alcohol and 30% water, or do you have to buy more pure alcohol?

    Insurance guy in my yard!

    I got out of the shower to hear the doorbell ring. A guy with a clipboard and a measuring wheel had evidently been walking all around my house measuring for the homeowners insurance co. I guess they do this every year, but I had forgotten about it. Well he said he needed to get into the fenced...

    Exposure to mercury vapor light.

    My Sativa is about two or three weeks from harvest, unless the weather decides otherwise. I moved it to make it less visible but it's now getting light from a mercury vapor light on a pole about 40 feet away. It's not all that bright on her, mostly blueish light, but I am wondering if that...

    Nutrients for flowering?

    Okay, as some of you know, I like to keep it simple and not get fancy with nutes. My Indicas have always thrived with little care. But... I've got this huge Sativa, the first I've ever grown. It has more fat flowers than I've ever seen in one place, so I'm thinking how great it would be to...

    Does a hard rain destroy trichomes?

    When I harvested my Indica in September, the trichomes on the top cola were mostly gone. They had looked beautiful the week before I cut the plant, but then we had a long hard rain, just one of those toad stranglers with no wind, just straight down rain for a couple of hours. The buds on the...

    Ants living in my plant's pot.

    When I water my plant, a gazillion ants start evacuating, carrying their eggs. They're just tiny pissants, otherwise known as picnic or sugar ants, so I hope they don't eat the roots or anything terrible like that. They don't travel up the stalk, thank goodness. I wouldn't want them sucking...

    Too tall, can I whack it?

    I have a Willie Nelson growing in a large pot outdoors and it's up to 5"5" tall now. It looks like it might be beginning to flower but it's still too early for me to tell. If it gets any taller, I'll have a visibility problem. Anybody know how much crop I will lose if I cut a foot off the top...

    Slartibartfast's No Rocket Science Yard Weed-2008

    I didn't catch on soon enough and start a journal last year, so I'll begin this year's journal with pictures of the September, '07 AK-48 harvest: http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showpost.php?p=165052&postcount=1 Much to my surprise, I still have a month or two's worth of it left, even...

    Happy Newyear outdoor growers!

    I just got my new babies in the ground on May 25. Last year was my first and I grew a wildly successful single AK48. I couldn't have done it as well without the patient advice from all of you MP members. Here are the pics of last year's harvest...

    Pics of my finished product

    October 21, 2007 This is my single outdoor grown AK48 plant, my first try. They dried faster than I expected, and were getting too dry in the curing (grocery bag) stage, so I sealed it up this weekend.

    Mine got a little too dry.

    My outdoor AK48 had some spider mites, so I trimmed off all the shade leaves outside before hanging the main stems in my drying room. I think that is the reason they dried so fast. After 5 days, I was horrified to find that it was dried to a crisp, and I had no time to properly trim it, so I...

    My AK48

    Here's my lone AK48 in a 14" pot outside. This is my first try, so I hope I can nail the harvest date. The trichomes are mostly clear, but the pistils are turning brown. I'm shooting for a trippy head high.

    I need a marijuana anatomy lesson.

    I am still not entirely clear about identifying pistils and calyxes and observing trichomes. I may be using the wrong terms for the plant parts. I do know a female from a male, but is there anywhere on this site that has anatomical pictures of a marijuana plant with circles and arrows for...

    Only 3-petal leaves on the whole plant.

    I have a beautiful 3' tall AK48. It's apparently fully mature, growing since June 15, and thick with flowers. It grew from a cutting off a plant that I harvested in June, that prematurely flowered(still quality smoke, just a small yeild). I'm not worried, since it seems to be healthy, just...

    Best way to view the trichomes?

    I bought my 60x-100x scope so I could check the trichomes. I tried holding it close to the flowers on my AK48 but couldn't get a good focus without handling the plant too much. I hate to cut a bud off every time I want to look, but I can get a much better view that way. How do you experienced...

    100°+ sun or shade?

    I've been reading the forums before posting my first question and haven't seen exactly the same situation as mine, so here's my story: A friend gave me an AK48 seedling in April, which I planted in a 13" pot with the same soil I use for tomatoes. It flowered really early so I chopped it in mid...

    Looking forward to learning the art of growing

    Hi people. I've been lurking for a while trying to decide which forum to join, and this looks like a place to get good advice. A friend gave me a cutting from his AK48, so I planted it outside in mid June in a 12 inch pot with the same mix I use for tomatoes. I pour on some Miracle Grow every...
