How long do you let them go before snipping some branches? Couple weeks 12/12?
can i be zen and say "as long as it takes :)"
each strain is so diffrent . many grow roots and finish out flowering with water roots . some dont...
i had some hazes go 13 weeks and some cookies and cannatonic go 5-6 weeks ... soooo yea i pluck the first nuts sometimes and wait checking 2X a day...

Yeah, I can see what you're saying already. I had a few Sweet Skunk males that I quarantined (kinda) and 2 of the three took about 5 weeks to nut, but the other one was dropping pollen everywhere by day 14 of 12/12. I was not expecting that!

I harvested my first batch of pollen the other night. Fuck me. I have seasonal pollen allergies, and turns out marijuana pollen makes me sneeze like a mofo too. I'll be amazed if my flower room doesn't end up all seeded. Smh. I need to revisit how I go about this. Letting the males get huge and gently tapping the branches makes a huge mess. Joe Danks method of clipping a few branches and putting them in a glass of water before they open up seems like an easier, less messy way to go about it. Back to the drawing board. :cuss:

I did manage to collect a bit of pollen though! lol
Same here with the allergies. I have it so bad my sense of taste has been ruined for YEARS. No bullshit though, YOGA. With proper breathing. Tai Chi also you will be amazed. What I do for pollinating is use an Al B Fuct style 'clone box' vented out the opposite end of the house through HEPA filters. So I flower males and females straight from clone right in the 'clone' box. Way I figure is small seed batches equal the same odds from smaller runs. For flower I am using pallets the way Calicat does his from seed runs so I use a combo of teks learned exclusively off RIU to manage pollen and seed count. Not kidding myself that it is more than a hobby.

You guys are lucky working with raw female plants i get hives, making dry sift is not fun for me. Once cured and ready for smoking it has no allergic effect, i can also hand mix bubble oddly so it really makes no sence to me.

Man I find that so strange! I used to think people who said that were full of it until I saw multiple friends break out in hives brushing against a few leaves! I would be so very very bummed if I was allergic to any part of the plant. But hey! At least you're all good when it's cured and ready to go. And isn't that what's most important? :)

Totally! I've had some shoot Ron Jeremy loads about 15 days in! Others have taken so long I end up culling them before pollen drops (6plus weeks). I've flowered males under t8 four foot shop lights. Tbh honest they seem to looooove it.

So.... I'm really starting to hate this soil mix I have. About to toss it. Fricken annoying. Just ewc and promix... like wtf..

My girls wont stop the interveinal chlorosis. Just tops are green. Like wtf.

IMG_2055.JPG

Misted them with Epsom salts in case it is mag. The purple clone is starting to show the same symptoms. So pissed right now.

I don't know what the fuck they want.

I will be uppotting them in a few days. I am going to use straight promix. Hoping I see improvement soon.

(I thought it was caused by the overwatering but now the revegging clone is showing the same problem a bit and she never was overwatered..)

Well heres where im at right now, one seedling(my last lemon puff bean) one good clone and a few ugly mutants. I know my veg tent is dirty and i shouldnt have the plants sitting in their runoff but im broke and moneys going towards things other than a veg tent(plus i hate tents, fuck that thing). Seedling is in composted soil/coco being fed water. The rest is coco they look fucked because like a jackass i wasnt Phing.

Pie were you giving those ladies just plain water n that soil mix of ewc and promix? If so they need cal/mag and N bad there's no food in that. If you bottle feed get them girls some N in them and they should respond. I use FFOF or Roots Organic for soil already amended and I make supersoil that's it plain water and tea topdress with supersoil

Yeah I may increase their feed. It has been really humid lately and that could be causing them to drink less maybe.

When I transplant Saturday I can up their dosage. They aren't showing any claw so they might respond well to more food.

looks like iron clorosis but that is a toughy .
if you got the time do a quick test . do you use a water soluable nutrient?? if so foliar at 1/2-1/4 strenght on one plant and see ... easy way to test food needs / if it too much ... if you add a tablespoon of H202 from your medicine chest it will perk em up a bit too...
sometimes i do botanicare calmag so i can foliar with fulvic and h202 man does it work

They WANT you to go to the NEXT LEVEL. They WANT to grow themselves. They want all control. They want to create soil structure themselves. LIVING ORGANIC SOIL. Those three words mean EVERYTHING. My soil is now somewhere around 12th generation recycled and keeps getting better. I almost ignore growing the plant. I grow the soil. The technologies available to an organic gardener far surpass synthetics. Bokashi, bio carbon, worms and microscopes ftw. Composting is such a relaxing hobby too. And very cool people dealing with the organic crowd. Like one percent of the arguments and bullshit from the hydro crowd.

It is the Gage Green way. Organic and probiotic. A passion for micro life and the benefits a good relationship and understanding of your micro herd bring. Taking care of that which takes care of us down to the microscopic level. This is stewardship the way God commanded in the Bible. This is caring and taking care helping save a planet never mind get high. Best to save the planet first seeing as all our dope grows on it.

Well if you are like six years old I guess playing with shit is fun lol. My plants happen to be vegan. Animal manure is not actually the most abundant or best fertilizer far as nature goes. Nature uses humic material. Microbes feed off that, plants feed off dead microbes (to really over simplify the process).

This is year 2 of making seeds. I took extra male and female clones and paired them up in soil containers on the back deck. Grape smuggler m and f, and a chernobyl male w/ a cherry white female. Pollen dropped on the girls just a couple of days ago.

LOL ! :shock:

Fwiw I've seen some of the most insane arguments/beefs/battles in the organics section plus beemo claims to be organic. So not sure I can agree with that claim. Lol. There are douchey organic growers and douchey hydro people. For the most part people are douches. Animals are much better. :)
