All my weed plants are doing really good

How is everyone else's plants going?


Edit: my golden halo shoebox is pretty much fully colonized now so it should be fruiting anytime

Awesome man!

All mine are doing stellar as well

Had to stop all anti-inflammatories for surgery on my tongue, since it's such vascular tissue cannabis can prevent it from healing properly.

I also threw away my old vape hose and ordered 20 ft of new stuff, but it probably won't be here for another week.  That was my mistake.

On a positive note, at least one of my clones ended up rooting.  Felt nice to throw that giant bush out on the burn pile, it was so rootbound that there was no growing medium in sight when I pulled off the pot.

---

Oh yeah,  that makes sense.  Well,  when you do smoke again,  you are gonna get ripped 

Congrats on the clones

Got this one sexed about a week ago,  and I have some pollen.
When would be a good time to pollinate her?
I want to make sure the pollen takes.

When the hairs are at their whitest and longest is the optimal time

I'd wait maybe 2-3 weeks, the more pistils you have the more seeds you can make, however white pistils can be pollinated whenever, even preflowers on a plant in veg will produce seeds if pollinated, so it's up to you.

Keep in mind you kind of have to decide whether you want seeds or flower, as once they are pollinated they will dedicate most of their resources to finishing the seeds.

Also not true, the last 2 years I had a monster plant each year and I pollinated just a couple low branches each time and both times the rest of the bud came out just as good as the one that I didn't pollinate. And that was a clone of the one I pollinated. The buds were indistinguishable in potency.

Perhaps I worded that poorly.  I have a feeling it would be different on a tiny plant like that with limited resources compared to the monster you grew in the ground under the sun.  If there are limited resources, the plant will prioritize seed development over buds and trichomes.  That doesn't mean you won't get both, just that you'll get less flower and diminished trichome production if there isn't enough resources to go around.

Oh yeah my bad. I didn't read the context....I just woke up and took a dab and chose violence

If they ever allow cultivation...
I've got a great Porch garden.  It gets great Sun in the season.
I'd love to grow a few Pot Plants.
Up in Washington State Cultivation is Illegal.

Ok, cool, thanks 
I cut off some male flowers the other day and they are drying. They already dropped pollen, 
so once it's all dried,  I'll store it until I'm ready to pollinate.

Being as it's nearly impossible for me to score seeds,  I'm not worried about any smoke from this one.

I mean,  I do have a few seeds,  but they are feminized autos.
Luckily,  I had a few of my own seeds from last season,  a cross that I made,  and that is the only way for me to make more seeds.

You can keep pollen in the fridge.
I used to collect pollen in a separate room and then use a paintbrush to pollinate a few buds.
The results were fairly consistent.

And this is what I'll do,  thanks buddy
