I HATE SEEDS! I mean if I am gonna take the time to grow, why in the world would I want to take the time to shake all the seeds out? I smoke to relax my nerve condition. Medication shouldn't be that much work. It doesn't end up 1/4 good anyhow around here when they pollinate that bad. I have literally looked over a few that have done this and couldn't find a single calyx w/o a seed. So just remember... There are a lot of disadvantages to a full legalization. Hemp crops will occur again and this crap will happen nationwide... Not that the disadvantages aren't FAAAAAAAAAAAAR outweighed by the benefits lol.
this might be from the difference in years
way back, cleaning out the seed was part of the ritual, you talked with smoking buddies, and it wasn't seen as a chore
if you hate it, that's how you feel
i'd love to have the stealth option you have, seedy bud to me would be worth the peace of mind for outdoor grows stealthed with natural hemp

the top looks pretty good, on the whole it's a sativa
can be tougher to grow even with optimal setup, haven't messed with sativa doms in a while
you seem to be doing well, conditions considered

Thanks to all the help from yall with my noob ass indoor growing lol. I did, as aforementioned, purchase a 400w HPS light. I just started my AK and the seedling is up. I grow for myself so I tend to germ a few weeks out of my last plant's harvest. I am loving the indoor grow for the COMPLETE sensi that it creates in areas like my own. I hope to see more positive improvement in the near future and will keep you all updated on how your help as influenced my grow. Thanks again!

Hehe no kidding. Has anyone here utilized natural sunlight in the winter before? I figure with the short daylight hours it ought to be optimal for a flowering cycle, correct?

flowering should be in high gear, you're exploring new territory with window + winter
did some windowsill grwoing way back, but it never went that far

Ha she is not even close yet lol... Sooooooo many white hairs, trichs are all clear still, and non of the calyxes are swollen up yet. I am guessing a couple more weeks. I got my light today and I am going to mount it to a satellite dish tripod and get her running tomorrow. My ak's are almost ready to 12/12 bout another week. I'll take them out from under the t-5's in the morning and get em under the good light. I will post pre and post chop photo's as well as report the yield when she is ready.

This is why i never understood why people use small CFL's past the Veg stage. Once you want to start flowering a plant...I saw 600wattHPS cooltube all the way!!!...now too expensive. Puts out the most lumens with the least amount of comparative energy usage. Next grow...I highly recommend just bitin the bullet and getting an HPS!
