I have finally decided after hours of research that for my first grow I will attempt Early Special, the seeds being supplied from Nirvana, as I have read they are reliable. I chose early special because I need a strain that is ready for Harvest in August i have read that Early Special can be ready as early as July if planted in April.

Has anyone ever grown Early Special, and do you have any tips for this first time grower?

Are u in the USA? If so please tell me about how they ship and if you have any problems. How are u gonna pay?

NIrvana allows payment by mailing cash i'm in Canada

Plant in April and harvest in July??? In the tropical climes of Canada?? Man! the seed dealers are piling on the hype, too. I guess with this ruderalis craze they can go even further.

Well, if you do that, you will have a very small plant, with a small yield of immature buds.

Then you can call it BC Bud !

I'm just goin with what i've read and trying to get help, when do you think the earliest i could harvets would be

For a short growing season, go with a hybrid that is Indica-dominate, or mostly Indica traits. She will be mature in about 8 weeks, but since you don't know the date of inducement, you can figure that it will be around July 1, so a harvest of early Sept may be possible.

If you want it earlier, you can, with some diligence, cause her to be induced earlier by artificially increasing the amount of dark hours each day starting say June 1st, and then you would have to do it daily for only a month.

thx for th ehelp i researched what you wrote and have come across a method of covering the plants with garbage bags for longer darkness has anyone had any success with this method

also if i were to have my plants in a standard 1 gallon pot would i b able to keep them in the light and then move them into the darkness how much light would i need to provide daily

hey man i cant only tell ya what i read about fast harvests.and if i was wanting the fastest possible i would have to go with lowriders. they autoflower so covering them isnt something yould have to do. ive read good things about them, but reading is all ive done with them. so dont take my word for it, but its something to think about. anywhoo thats my 2 cents

thanks, i will look into lowriders aswell.
