That was the main reason I joined an online forum as well.Even though it’s legal here in Canada now, I still don’t share my growing experience with hardly anyone, so this forum has been amazing...Well, even therapeutic...I’m one of those guys who gets almost giddy talking about stuff, whether it’s food, or growing Cannabis
I’m glad I did!Same same!
I'm the same way. Even the close people I do share with don't have the affection for the process we do. This is the place!Thanks stoneotter!

Following someone’s recipe helps a lot, but that alone wasn’t sufficient, the support you offered was amazing! Thank you! And your grows are freaking awesome, loving watching the budgetLED perform for you!! Thanks for your virtual friendship
Yepsame. That’s my main reason for being here. My wife was like you need to find somebody more passionate about cannabis you can talk to. She supports my hobby but doesn’t want to talk about it as much as I do.
I germinated May 1st but I think I may have been a bit early last year - I might wait a few more weeks this year - but then again...I don't know what I am doing so don't go by me.
I think I remember you pushing them because the temperatures and conditions were getting really wet and cold. I think early May might be a good idea, maybe even try earlier if it’s nice.
You could be right but if they are not going to flip until July are they just going stay in veg and get too big. Someone mentioned that I should start in June - even being in a greenhouse they are going to flip according to the season. Last year if I had not topped them, I'm sure they would have been at least 12'. I'm going to try a much more aggressive trimming program.
You could start when you normally start like last year. When they get to be about your height. Top them. They won’t grow vertically anymore, but more vertically. You could control the height of them that way. Instead of having a big Christmas tree you will have a gigantic bush. Your right about the plants not flipping till their ready. You could also manipulate them to force flower, but doing that can be tricky, because unless you can’t get them in complete darkness then there is no point really.
Be carful doing that, I’ve read that starting under a light then switching to sun light can shock them. I’m not saying no don’t do that, but just be eerie on it
My manipulation will be adding light, hoping that the flip isn't because of 12/12 but more from a reduction of light at a certain time. It seemed that last year all the good went into the plant - not the buds. Altho, this morning I took a penful of "Jeff" She was a plant that got moved to the forest because I figured it was a male, then later noticed I was wrong, dug her up and moved her into a 5 gal. bucket and tended to her with the rest at the shed. I must say - that hit did the job - wobbly legs for a little while!!!
Now, keep in mind - my plants had more light shocks and moves than a travelling Gypsy Fireworks show!!!

lol. No harm no foul...
Got to admit, I’m pretty giddy, the next 20ish days can’t come quickly enough... hoping for a denser bud this time!
