Thanks. No problem. I'm definitely gonna plant some new seeds and see how that goes.

Great, thanks for replying. I found a place down the road from me that sells those boveda packs, I'm gonna get some on Monday.

Thanks all This whole process started one night when I was stoned and adventurous, saw seeds at the bottom of a bankie and decided to plant them. Didn't realize they would actually grow . Happy with the outcome so far as it's just the one plant that went balls up. I'm assuming that I can take seeds from the plant that didn't flop and grow those, should be safe, right?

Thanks I started curing yesterday evening..put it in the back of a cupboard. Opened up the jar a bit earlier, smells very strong and the buds are sticky - I'm guessing/hoping that's a good thing? Thanks

Thanks. Is this where it starts to take "shape" as in the second pic. Apologies for all the questions, complete newbie. Thanks

Roger that. Thanks. As this was my first time, I don't feel too bad about it and the other plant came out decently... Can I use the seeds from this flopped plant? Any risks?

Hi again all So this is what one of the buds looks like now - After almost 3 days of drying.. It feels dry to the touch but I suspect that I should leave it for the recommended 5-7 days. At which point does it start taking on the appearance of weed that you would buy from your local guy. I mean, more compact and tight. Is this maybe where the curing comes in? I'm a newbie so just guessing... Something like this... Thanks

This was my first time growing and only this specific plant went balls up. I'm not gonna wait unit next year to harvest, I'd rather start from scratch and maybe learn from this. Speaking of which, how do I avoid this next time? Thanks

Thanks I think I'm gonna cut it down this evening and save what I can. Is any of this even smokeable?

Here you go...

Never heard of a Boveda pack before but a quick Google search revealed a place down the road from where I am that stocks it so... Thanks.

Cool - I'm in no rush for it so will let it take its time. This is them.....

Thanks Ok so best to let it take its own course then. More or less how long am I looking at before it's ready for me?

Yep. Ok I'll take some pics when I get home a little later.

Thanks The garage is dark and the machine isn't on, newbie question. What effect would it have if the machine was on? I imagine that it would dry out quicker? Yes, I've trimmed the buds and they're hanging as branches.

Thanks Just a bit paranoid about possible absorption. Thanks for clearing that up.

Hi All So I opened one of those many "pods" I mentioned in my original post and it contained a seed. So what does that mean? Thanks

Thanks What's the worst case scenario when this happens?

If I chop it, is there any bother is drying it out still?

Hermied = Became hermaphrodite? A friend was at my place last week and he said that he can see that my crop has become pollinated (He's a little more clued up than I am). I'm not expert but I'm pretty sure that I removed all the males when I started this process. Can this be related? Thanks

Hello All I've started drying out my first ever harvest. I've hung it in a biltong machine (one of those cheapies from Game), the machine itself isn't on and the top lid is off - It's in my garage. Is this ok or am I setting myself up for problems? Also, my wife has periodic drug tests at work which includes THC tests, can she possibly absorb anything that would cause a positive test while it's drying when she's in the garage? Thanks

Thanks I started harvesting the other one and it's drying now. How do I force this one to flower now? Thanks

As a reference - This is what it looked like a few weeks back. Another thing I noticed was that this one has reddish stems but I noticed this from the very beginning. Don't know if this is relevant or not.

Thanks for replying. Plants are outdoors and the gangly growth at the top is new. Could this be a flop or should I just wait it out?

Hello All I started my first grow a while back. These were the 2 that I was most proud of in my entire grow. Looking at this first pic, both plants looked like this which besides the leave discoloration, seems ok to me - Heads look good etc. Then yesterday, I noticed that the second plant took a dramatic turn an no longer looks like the above. It looks like this now. Something looks very wrong to me, it's as if the heads disappeared. Highly confused. On close inspection, lots and lots of these little "pods" are all over. It's confusing because these plants looked the same (first pic) a day ago and almost overnight the one completely changed. Any idea what happened here? Thanks
