The he worst thing about growing cannabis is how long it takes. There has to be other vegetables that that as long but most will start producing in well under a 100 days.

When growing photo period plants outdoors I can get by with 10 weeks in veg an then 10 weeks in flower. For me to do this where I live has me starting seeds in May. You can get longer veg time outdoors but if you start your seeds earlier than mid April your plants might flower first an then...

If I could buy $40 zips I’d never grow again. Maybe one day it’ll happen?

Great thread! I’ll be picking up some lectin an coconut oil so I can start playing around with oil based infusions.

If the plants are mature (not seedlings) then I’d definitely wait till mid May to put them out. You could also use supplemental lighting for an hour or so at sunset until the end of May just to be on the safe side since it sounds like your plants are pretty far along.

So sometime in the mid eighty’s the US election system went to shit? That was back when we were still using punch cards.

Not trying to start a fight but I thought beavers were protected in the US (maybe not there)?

The real trick to the dry/cure is to stretch out the dry for a minimum of 7 days. If you can make it take longer than that it’s even better. Mind you I’m not saying leave you pot out to dry for a week or two no matter what. Once it’s dry enough to burn it’s dry enough to seal up for the cure...

Netting would definitely help to keep pests off your plants, but if you are trying to be stealthy then that might actually make your grow stand out? If you are comfortable with building a frame for netting and that not drawing attention then why not put together some type of greenhouse? Use a...

I’m an outdoor grower and like the OP I also use other plants growing around my spot to help conceal that I’m growing cannabis. Let me start by saying that sharing your grow spot with other plants is detrimental to your cannabis plants. Crowding with other plants creates air flow problems, but...

Where using glass canning jars makes sense is for long term storage (a year or more). Plastic containers and even zip lock bags work just fine for storage and transport but as the months go by unless the container has been sealed in some way (vacuum pack etc) the cannabis inside will dry out...

Plastic can be airtight but it’s a lot harder to get and maintain that airtight seal when the lid is closed. The most important thing about storing cannabis long term (year plus) is to maintain that air tight seal. If there is any air exchange at all the cannabis will dry out.

If the plants are mature when you move them outside you’ll want to wait until there is enough daylight to keep them in veg. If you put a mature plant out in April it will start to flower and then re-veg as the days get longer in May. You can use a light shining on you plants for a couple hours...

Wow beautiful plants and amazing yield. This demonstrates what it takes to grow a plant this big: 10 months. My outdoor runs with photoperiods go 5 - 6 months. Germinate seeds May 1st and harvest late September/October. I easily get 1lb plants. This year I ran a sativa dominate strain photo in...

I never understood the fear of death or the need people have for an afterlife. Obviously the experience of death will be exactly what it was like before we were born: you do not exist. This life is what we have and when it’s over that’s it.

I like the idea of drying the plant whole but leaving it upright like the OP was able to do to dry. When you hang a plant upside down the buds all become covered in the fresh limp leaves which then dry that way. As an outdoor grower though I couldn’t leave the plant in its caging outside in the...

Remember kids they don’t call them donkey dicks because they are big around an shaped like a dick. We call them donkey dicks because they are big around, shaped like a dick, and hang down to the ground because of their own weight just like a for real donkey dick does!

I am not one to bag on someone about their harvest timing, especially for us outdoor growers who can see a plant take a huge down turn overnight, but… If you’ve got good weather and no signs of rot, mold, or caterpillars give that plant another week. If in a weeks time she looks the same I’ll...

Interesting observations regarding neem oil. I use it but I stop after the plant starts flowering. It is very strong smelling and I can detect that it has been applied to a plant weeks after it’s been sprayed (heavy rain can impact this by reducing the smell). Honestly it isn’t very effective at...

Not the guy you were asking but leaving the plant intact (ie waiting to do a dry trim) helps to slow down the dry. It’s just more stuff there to dry out.
