    Far West Genetics

    I think it's an appropriate time to start a Far West Genetics thread, for the following reasons: As we all know, they were formerly PeakSeedsBC and changed their name to Far West Genetics when they became legitimate sellers under Health Canada regulations. They sold great seeds of...

    How close are these two beauties from being ready to harvest?

    Hey everyone, I'm so scared to get the timing wrong for harvesting my outdoor grows, because the plants are so large. I have four growing in my backyard, but my Turkish Cookies and Bubba Kush, both from Dr. Greenthumb, are getting close. Based on the pics below, how much longer would you think...

    Help, are any of these ready to harvest? 9 weeks into flower!

    Hi Everyone, I haven't done an indoor grow in a while, and as I'm getting older, the trichomes are getting a bit harder to see with my loupe. These plants vegged for several months and had pistils coming out before I even switched to 12/12 lighting. They have now been in 12/12 for exactly 9...

    What do you do when this happens?

    Check out the pic, I'm sure this is something that many of us have seen in our grows! Just wondering if you have a seed shell that's stuck onto your seedling, do you ever try to remove it somehow? Would it come off in all cases if I leave it? This is a Dr. Greenthumb Bubba Kush. It's a pricey...

    Super Silver Haze: A question for experienced growers

    Hey all, I have a couple of Mr. Nice SSH females growing right now and they're about 3 weeks into 12/12. One has buds that are developing nicely; they're as large as I would expect an indica to be in this stage of growth. The other one is far behind, with only a few pistils here and there...

    Newbie Cloning Question: Keep the cubes moist?

    Hi, I just took some clones for the first time ever. I made nice cuttings, trimmed them, dipped them into rooting gel, then into moistened coco coir rooting cubes. They're in a dome-covered tray and so far, they look good. Quickly ... do I need to keep the cubes moist? I'm thinking of...

    How Much Longer?

    This is my first outdoor grow, and managing the weather and PM makes me nervous about harvesting at the right time. If I can push things two or three more weeks, I probably can. Based on the pics (I numbered them 1 to 4), when would you harvest? Really appreciate any help, my confidence isn't...

    Question for the Blueberry Experts Here

    Hey all, I just harvested a PeakSeedsBC Blueberry plant. It's one of three females I had growing. It's been in flower for a very long time and has quite a bit of amber on the pistils. The buds are big, fat hard and heavy. When I say a long time, I mean around 13 weeks of 12/12. Everything on...

    How Small do you Trim?

    I'm just finishing off my third grow ever. The first two times, I tried to trim everything other than the smallest, pea-sized buds in order to build up a bit of a stash. Now the small ones are going into bags of trim I give to a buddy to make bubble hash for himself. I'm at the point where I...

    Long-Term Storage

    If you just have too much bud (a problem I don't have yet but hope to have this year), what's the best way to store it long-term? Vacuum packed in the freezer after curing for a few months? If you've been lucky enough to have had this problem, how have you dealt with it? Thanks.

    Official Gaia Green Grow Method

    Hey all, I think that this is an important topic and I haven't seen a thread that's really dedicated to this. Whether you use Gaia Green or another similar brand (like Dr. Earth), it would be great to have a place we can consolidate our process info. I'll start here. Throw darts at it and...

    Blueberry Harvest - White Pistils?

    Hey everyone, I have three PeakSeedsBC Blueberry plants that are at exactly 10 weeks of 12/12. I can't believe they're still alive at this point, lol, they're so tough for me to grow. If there are a lot of white pistils still, but some of the trichomes on the calyxes are turning amber, I'm...

    Strain for Working Out & Exercise?

    Hey all, I wasn't sure where to post this, but I think I'm in the right forum for this question. I've been growing for a bit over a year now and finally at home we're getting into making edibles. My wife just tried a gummy recipe, minus the cannabis, just to see if it works and it sure did...

    Would you harvest now? 4 plants.

    Hey all, just checking in for some opinions. My plants are from seed and at 67 days of 12/12. I didn't think they'd go this long, so I'm second-guessing myself and thought I'd post pics here. They look finished, visually, but not too much amber on the calyxes. I chopped two tonight already...

    Defoliating: Should I or Shouldn't I?

    Hey everyone, I'm sort of new to all this and this is my first fully outdoor grow. I've done a bunch of reading here on defoliating and was under the impression that once the weather gets colder and damper, perhaps late-September or October, mold may become an issue. While the weather is hot...

    How Much Do You Harvest Outdoors?

    Hey everyone, just wondering what kinds of harvests you typically get outdoors per plant. I'm doing my first real outdoor grow this year and my plants are getting fairly large, but I have no clue what kinds of yields to expect, assuming things go smoothly into October. I feel like the numbers...

    Help with Gaia Green's Power Bloom

    Hey all, My four backyard plants are looking great and they're all over 5 feet in height, while one is over 6 feet. I'm growing in soil that was originally amended with Gaia Green's All-Purpose 4-4-4 fertilizer and think it might be time to top-dress them all with their 2-8-4 Power Bloom...

    Outdoor Pistils and Flowering Times

    Hey all, I just noticed pistils on all four of my backyard plants. I know that outdoor growing is a totally different ballgame, so I was wondering which of the following two is the reason I'm seeing pistils: The days are getting shorter and so flowering is initiating. I find this tough to...
