Ok so here is the story,
1/11/2013 put the seed in.
3/11/2013 : Seed popped. Was supposed to be an auto but this plant never autoflowered. It kept growing till third week of january, which is very close to three months of veg time. Survived the coldest months of the year, with tempratures going as low as 5-7 Degrees Celcius. (about 41 degree F). also turned hermie i think because of the cold or bad genetics, either way, i must have pulled off 3-4 nanners during the course of its growth. However very lucky that it has produced ZERO seeds. So not really sure what genetics it is.
22/01/2013: Finally I decided to try light deprivation, which i started in the third week of jan. started covering the whole plant with a big cardboard box a bit before sunset,
27/01/2013 : Within 3-4 days i noticed the pistils forming and the start of flowering. continued with the light dep for about 10 or 12 days, and when i was sure it has started flowering i stopped putting the cardboard on top of it. so basically now this has been in flower since last week of january. probably at day 53-58 now.
02/03/2013 to 10/03/2013: Lots of un-seasonal rain. I think the rain water caused a nute lock out. started losing the fan leaves very rapidly, the buds started to dry out too and become lifeless.
11/03/2013: Flushed the plant and it seemed to have worked. Although i lost all the fan leaves, the buds came back to life, the smell returned and how, and i could see the life come back.
14/03/2013: took a small sample from one of the lower branches. dried for three days and smoked it. very nice energetic high with a slight smile on the face. this smiling effect is completely missing from the hash i have been getting over here.
20/03/2014: lt seemed to me that a couple of the branches were ready to be chopped off. most of the pistils had turned, the color changed to brown/red from white. so today i copped of one of those branches. will dry it for a few days and see how it smokes.
I was wondering if the more experienced people here could help me determine how close is this to being ready?
