My First Time Growing

Here's some collected information on Trichomes from an article put together from various "pedia" sources:


Hope that helps a little with understanding them.

:circle-of-love:

That answers a lot of questions that I had wondered about. Thanks Canna! I appreciate the info a lot!
 
Just to keep you guys up do date on my grow, Here are pic's I just took of all my plants minus the one still germinating.

The first is Amnesia in the 1 gallon pot:

This one is the seedling it's Delicious critical super silver haze.

Then here is the Truthband

Last pic is off the girls in the tent, The one on the far left is Harley defoliated (I've heard people say that they strip the plants of all leaves, some say just the fan leaves, So I tried it 3 ways to compare, So before they went into flower I defoliated Harley. And only removed the big fan leaves on Casey (The one in the middle) The one on the far right is the newest in the flower tent (Minnie), on Minnie I'm trying it with no defoliation.. BTW the pic of the above seedling has the wrong date on it. It actually sprouted on 3/5 (Just forgot to remove and replace the label from re-using this 1 gallon pot)

Last pic is of the clone I started with a cutting from the truthband

Well, no change on the Trich's, but that's all my girls minus the 1 germinating,that's feminized New York Power Diesel (Sativa). I planted her and will show you pics when she shows herself!

Your girls are gorgeous. And your Truthband is glowing. She looks super happy. Looking forward to seeing how the cloner works!:goodjob:

Me too (about the cloner), but since the cutting's been in it for 4 days and it (the cloner) still looks the good, I have high hopes for it!
 
Dang smoke, with a lineup like that you should have some killer meds here soon. Girls look lovely, I like the little amnesia she is gorgeous. I've still only ever grew bagseed, I want so bad to order some good seeds. I just can't get up the nerve to do so. The one time I had the nads to make an order, my bank denied it. Not tried since lol looking fwd to see how those girls do:thumb:

Hey Jon, try ordering with a pre paid debt card :high-five:

Hint: Some banks will automatically deny overseas transactions, especially if you seldom or have never made one. You need to call them and inquire about the rejection. Often times it will be sitting on the fraud depts. desk, because they are assuming someone may have used your card without permission. Just inquire about the transaction, they will forward you to the fraud dept. and from there all you need to do is tell them it was you that attempted the purchase and that you approve of the "vendor". You do not need to tell them what you were trying to purchase, only that it was you trying to make the transaction.
This happens to me all the time with overseas transactions, they are trying to protect the consumer.

:thumb:

Edit: Brother dear (CCOiler) has a good idea as well. Those pre-paid cards are great, much preferred over an actual banking/checking card as far as security of someone hacking your card number. But, they will do the same thing on the deny sometimes for overseas transactions. Happened to me several times, and a phone call to them with my verbal approval for the transaction got it through on the next attempt. :)
 
Every time I have ordered I have had to call the CC company first and tell them I am about to make a purchase overseas... Actually it isn't a bad thing your CC company is doing that... they are just covering your butt from someone else using your card... its no biggie really... I do advise you always pay the extra for guaranteed shipping... it does seem a bit much IMO but if you loose you shipment it all of a sudden doesn't seem like it was all that much...:)....:circle-of-love:

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I had a purchase from overseas lost once, (I'm not saying what I purchased mods!) and the guarantee was a savior!

When I made my small purchase almost 3 weeks ago (one of the things I'd been saving up for, and now I have started saving again), I was worried too. I asked the company (one of the sponsors here on :420:) through an online chat about what could happen if customs did intercept it. They explained that the only thing they have ever heard of is that the shipment gets pulled by customs. They don't go after the consumer from my understanding, so guys like us don't have to worry (according to the company).

I also agree with Dennise about making sure to pay the extra for the guaranteed delivery (my delivery was a little late and having that guarantee puts your mind at ease) , That means if your package does get intercepted, the company guarantees they will keep sending the product until you actually have it.

They also have the stealth part down, I can't go into details, But they found a way to hide the purchase from anyone that's looking. Hope I didn't break any rules with this post.

Just a note on that highlighted part, some of the vendors will guarantee only a second ship or your money back should that first order not arrive. If you choose a second ship, and it doesn't arrive, that's all they will do and you take a chance on losing your money.
I ran into this one a couple months ago, I opted the second ship and got it...thank goodness.

So be sure to read the shipping terms in detail.

Thanks Canna, They never told me that part, just that if it doesn't arrive, they'd send me more. I should have assumed their was a limit since they are a for profit business. I will definitely check the shipping terms the next time.

That's great to know! Thanks for the info.
 
That's great to know! Thanks for the info. I just assumed it was too risky to order seeds and have them shipped.

Just remember to read Canna's response, Some will only offer to resend them once, I had thought they were going to keep sending them until you get them but that's incorrect. I just looked it up on the site I bought them from and they will only offer a single resend like Canna said. But as far as being risky, I'm super paranoid about getting caught as it could stop my income completely but I checked on it first and it seems very safe. But since I'm so new to this stuff, maybe someone else should explain the risks/safety of it better than me.

JimmieJ, discussion of shipping seeds is against the forum guidelines. Just cluin' ya in. ;-) We can discuss the sponsors, but we can't discuss shipping of seeds.

:riskybusiness:
 
The gentleman didn't exactly lie to you cause I don't think they will hunt you down or anything but they do send you this lovely really official looking letter that kinda scares the pee out of ya...:yikes: I have only had it happen once thank goodness but to be honest... it was the last time I have ordered... I'm sure if I need beans again I will but I haven't had to and I'm kinda happy about it... and that is Canna's original (well since I've been here) avatar... I like it best too....:high-five:...:circle-of-love:
