    How to rehydrate

    You can put a piece of orange/lemon peel, in with it, even a damp paper towel. That might get it smelling/tasting better, but most terpenes are volatile. If the THC has degraded there’s no bringing that back. (He kinda messed it up)

    Can someone explain? Is this a problem?

    When you spray a branch on a female plant, the sprayed branch will develop male flowers, you then use the pollen to fertilize the female part of the plant, two parents, but the same set of DNA.

    Can someone explain? Is this a problem?

    I agree, there can still be a lot of variation, but statistically you’ll have a better chance of carrying the pheno if both parents (feminized) have the trait, as opposed to only having one parent, that you know, has the trait.

    Can someone explain? Is this a problem?

    That's why feminizing would work best. The plant you treat is female, you get male flowers on the treated portion, but the DNA of both "parents" is the same (with that pheno). The silver hormonally changes the sprayed portion to produce male flowers.

    Can someone explain? Is this a problem?

    Best you can get is a definite maybe, if it's a phenotype, will it be more likely to express if bred to another like plant, probably so. It's a pheno, so there's no guarantees, but it should increase your odds. If you really want to try and save that trait, then I'd say treat the plant with...

    Is this plant ready for harvest?

    Pretty plant! But, IMHO, it's got some time to go (couple weeks minimum), still a lot of white pistils, and the buds haven't swelled much. I will say, I see that there's water on the buds, I'm assuming rain, so at this point, watch it like a hawk, because this is about the time bud rot starts...

    What type of deficiency is this?

    Yes. it needs transplanting. I always put a couple 2x4's in the drip pan to lift the pot out of any runoff and get it off the cement slab floor. When I grow outdoors, my nightime temps are in the low mid-50's, never had an issue. I even grew once at 7000 feet, the temp swings were outrageous...

    What Are Your Plans For This 4/20?

    Not much of a party guy, so I think I’ll cut the soles off my shoes, sit in a tree, and learn to play the flute! And maybe have a bowl of Sunset Sherbert!

    Is this plant screwed? Should I kill it and remove from my tent

    Hell no, don’t kill it, I’ve seen a LOT worse. What I see is pretty minor. Let it go and see what happens. You’ve already invested a lot of time, and you’re learning, win-win in my book.

    Some advice on a lemon haze with trichomes that just seem to stay clear.

    They look good, but never believe the breeder estimates for flowering, at best they’re optimistic, at worst they’re guesses! They’ve got some time to go, but without close-up of the trichs, I can only say that some of them look to be cloudy (3rd pic). But they could all swell more.

    What type of deficiency is this?

    65 at night is fine, mine do that every night and they’re fine:

    What type of deficiency is this?

    Just looking at it, I don't think it needs more nutes, the leaves are a very dark green. Some plants/strains are just more picky/sensitive than others, so sometimes the one size fits all feeding/watering regimes have to be amended. I'd just water for a couple cycles, letting it dry back before...

    Good seed banks that deliver to the U.K

    Really depends on what your goals are. Indica or Sativa, high THC, High CBD, great terpene profile? Your call. My go to strains lately have been any of the Girl Scout Cookie strains (GSC), Mimosa, Sunset Sherbert, Gorgilla Glue, Peyote, Skittelz, and my go to is Northern Lights. I think my...

    Pests...

    My favorite grow was a couple years ago, I have an open top greenhouse and had a couple praying mantis take up residence in the plants, they ate all the bugs!
