Just an FYI

Sunshineinabag is also Esterchaser (changed his name in February.) and will try to friend you up. Then he'll try to get free seeds out of you. When he's not successful, he'll tell you to go fuck yourself. lol.

Had same issue when he first joined . he banned for awhile over it :tiphat:

First round, early start for me. (normally sprout, and out june 1)



I like early finishers, because of the Sept. rains. I have my own 90 day strain, but wanted to try something different,
Richard Williams "Hasha".
Couldn't find any info on them, grow, potency etc. First hand info is always best.


So here they are 3 days ago.

And yesterday, in final pot, and location, at 21 days old.
They took quite a beating from the wind.

Branching at node 1, I like that.

I don't know. If they're too big, they take a long time to load, so I try to keep them about the size I posted above (about 600 pixels tall).

I resize them until I see the full picture on my pc monitor and not zoomed in or out.

From 20-30c (68-86f) for a couple weeks, to 3c (37f) this morning with a very cold rain last night. Got scared for a minute and got up a few times last night to check the temperature.

I put out half a flat of seedlings on Friday. I haven't put them in the ground yet. I visited them this morning and found about 3 that have been ravaged by bugs. A few others are showing damage and the rest are untouched and in glory.

Since they're for seed (fem), I'm going to deep six the damaged ones guessing that the survivors are naturally more pest resistant.

Anyone know how pest resistance works?

I'm not sure I believe in that.
I'm also 45° N, east coast, Gorilla Town. The slugs are pretty thick here, certainly no amount of resistance is going to save you from them.


You didn't mention which "pest", but probably just the luck of the draw.


I read somewhere that the resin is offensive to pests, but seedlings have precious little to none of it, and are on the menu of many vegetarian.



Any update on the freeks?

Slug pellets, ant powder and bug clear (If needed) is my plan... can’t afford to pay for the bugs dinner too

This year I said I'd keep track of when my plants sexed, since I started them in mid March and most should pre-sex by mid June. So far so good. Three sure females so far, the first on Memorial Day. 2 or 3 other probables. One male so far. The male and two females I'd already stuck in deep holes in the ground. I can now cull the male and use it's hole for a sexed female or a high probability looker. Because I'm not excited about it as a breeder and it's already too big to easily dig up and move around. I took a picture of the preflowers on the male last Tuesday, the 27th, for an 'is this a male?' type post but it's since developed a couple full-on balls. I don't like culling males from pre-flowers because they look like female pre-flowers. At this point it was too close to tell. I apologize for the quality of the picture the camera didn't want to focus so close up.

At this point i wouldn't cull it, looks too much like a leaf or undifferentiated primordia. It does have a bit of a stalk, you can see if you look closely but hard to tell from the picture. It looks rounder to the naked eye, you have to watch it. It's since developed a couple full on balls that I'm confident about. Maybe I'll try to get a picture before I cull.

Here's what some of my seedlings looked like last Tuesday, with the caveat that they're bigger now and don't look like the same plants. It's almost frightening how fast they're growing. The biggest one is above my belly button. Early last week they were just reaching above my balls. Here's a Black Cherry Garlic. The strain has a Totem Pole look.

This year the theme appears to be stockiness. Can't believe how many chunky bushy plants I have.

The big takeaway from the pre-flower trick. In most ways it beats using clones. I've already got large vigorous plants waist-high and sexing. There's no advantage putting clones out before June 1st, experiments using identical clones put out in early, mid, and late May actually show less size and yield then those put out on June 1st. There's no way a clone put out now is going to outperform a vigorous healthy 3 ft seedling. The only advantage is genetic uniformity which has drawbacks as well and proper breeding can eliminate that advantage. Given a choice I'll always go with seedlings.
