look at them pink hairs 
ill snap a couple pics of mine tomorrow sometime. i dont have anything too big yet anyways. my little hydro plant is moving right along though. i had to pinch a couple of the lower leaves off to fill in the clay pebbles because i had light coming in through the net pot. so i think that slowed it down a bit, its still small so removing anything right now is bound to slow it down a bit, but its bouncing back fast.

Yea I've been watching your thread, I'm interested to see how she pulls through and what kind of smoke she gives you!
Every year, my plants get better and better.. I'm slowly realizing how much people over complicate shit and I just need to get the basics down first.
One thing I'm trying to decide is when to trim.. do you manicure before the hang or going into the cure?

sometimes if she is real leafy i will cut some of the real big stuff off bt for the most part i trim everything same day i chop. i tried drying then removing leaf and thats just a dam mess, leaf dries out and crumbles, and with the sticky resin you end up with dried up crumbled leaf stuck to your fingers..
and yeah people do over complicate shit!
my lil one inside is pulling through nicely!! ill have some pics up in a few.

i used to have friends help me but now i just assume do it myself. for one i dont want people knowing im growing again as I had a issue with moochers before so i quit for a while, now people dont know and i prefer it that way.
also friends always did a shitty job trimming for me, kinda like not thiers so quality was not important...now i jsut chop off what i can trim and tackle that, then keep doing that untill its all done, even if it takes me a week to do it.

Yea, only a couple friends that I've known for 20 years know I'm growing.. my buddy is all into the growing process but he can't cause his mom so he helps me out and shit. It will be his first trim so I'll be teaching him properly haha

so i have color in all my pots (with a little help from me) one pot had 3 seedlings in it and one had none so i carefully removed one and put it in the other...
slugs are bad this year so i need to find a remedy to them as i believe there was a plant in the container that didnt have one yesterday and now its gone, i also see some slime on the top of the soil so im almost 100% sure a fucking piece of shit slug got one of my babies.
anyways [/rant]
heres some pics i tied to zoom in on them best i could.

ok made up some copper rings for my pots, hopefully they will keep the slugs at bay untill they get strong enough to handle a little bit of dmg

Yeah I'm on the East Coast of Canada in Northern Ontario, we have weather kind of like New York area etc only 6 hour drive South east from me. Anyway what I'm getting at is the last 2 seasons I was able to cut on or after October 10, mind you that was pushing it as a couple had visible frost/snow on them in the morning, I was able to blow it off/shake it off. Worked out fine, so I would imagine you would be fine until than. I'm at 46 degrese Latitude.

yeah like i said above, they are really frost resistant, have had em out late Oct before and getting hit with some pretty heavy frosts and didnt seem to harm the plants..
only issue is is its cool and the water from the frost dosent evap well causing issues like bud rot and mold. More likely than not i will bring em inside once i flip to 12/12 in my indoor setup. just let em finish up, either that ill just chop em a little early to give me some smoke till X mas. Had some friends from out of state come up for along weekend not too long ago and we plowed through my stash rolling blunts like we were still in high school.

Nice I'm still waiting for mine to pop. I have a bad habit of digging through the soil to find out whether or not the root is out and all were germinated so they should pop by today or tomorrowso i have color in all my pots (with a little help from me) one pot had 3 seedlings in it and one had none so i carefully removed one and put it in the other...

yeah i used to do that as well untilli killed a few 20$ beans and learned my lesson...they like to be left alone and they do better. I have 6 sprouts all shell shed and growing good, in a couple days ill see which ones are dom and ill pinch the others so i only have 1 per container.

i dont care for germing in anything else but dirt...if i dont want to use multiple seeds ill just start them in a solo cup. i actually have a incubator i used for growing mushrooms that i also use for germing seeds.
