Kind of. It is perpetual here. At 3rd or 4th week of flowering the next seeds are germinated. By harvest time the small tent is pretty crowded, perhaps moving into shade response. Then moved to bigger tent for sexing. Selected males moved back to smaller tent if I need pollen. If not, I make tea from the leaves. I kind of see what you mean. A given space with a certain energy produces such amount, be it one plant or 9 plants. That is true. I'm an old man, and not very big. A freshly watered 3 gallon pot is as heavy as I want to go, if I have to move them. I see what you are getting at. I grow regular seeds because the effects last much longer than feminized. This makes me grow several plants in a go. Perhaps I need to think more along the lines of cloning and mother plants. Not sure how that would affect seed production. It's a good thing for me to think about and consider. Any way to get a little more end product would be a blessing. I appreciate this idea. I will be thinking about this for days. It may be a key.
Check out this thread on icmag, you sound like you will fit in -
I’m confident you’ll sort it out. I 100% understand it may seem overwhelming, we all have lives after all. If you need some Fem seeds lmk, that would also free up more space and be less labor. I’ve not experienced fem seeds being less potent. I too was hesitant about fem seeds but never had any herms and was as potent as male/female seeds. Have you looked into Blumats? No electricity needed! The most laborious task for me personally was watering! Now, with that taken care of, I just have time to sit and actually observe the plants.
Sorry it wasn't in the original post. That was dumb of me to leave it out. Here there is only a slight decriminalization for recreational use, but still under prohibition. Sounds stupid, but I think that is the most accurate. 3 plants per adult per household, I forgot the harvest limit. Basicly you cant have 3 giant plants. If that were the case I would fill my living room with 3 giant colombians, or the 3 giant Mazar indicas. That would be a dream come true. But I stay more or less in the limits with the tiny tents in our tiny apartment. Hash making is not really feasible with such small spaces. I fantasize about guerilla gardening, but here it would be extremely difficult. Someone would find them.
Also, even tho you’re in Germany coming to this forum will open lots of doors for you. You may get to a point where clones might just happen to get delivered to you! You may be lucky enough that you may not even have to pop seeds for a grow or 2.......stick around, good things come to good people
That's true. Thank you very much. The plants get love, they would probably make an EEG squeak when they detect my presence. I even play meditative flute music for them sometimes if I have a lot to do. It's just the never ending growing that wears me down. There is no winter break, no holiday. Its unnatural on my end. They set up these restrictions on growing so it has to be this way, running your lights all year round, constantly the consumer. It's not allowed to grow on the balcony because it *could be accessed by children or thieves. Its basicly seen as irresponsible growing to use the balcony. Though I would love to. Real sunlight keeps the medicine in the plants. Indoor artificial is just a slow decline. Has to be revitalized with fresh genetics bred in every so often.Anything that is grown with love will be far superior to something grown with resentment, so I recommend finding a way to inject some love and appreciation into the project.
I wish you and your wife health and happiness
I do the work out of care, but seeing no break, no rest from it is... hard to describe. Hard to bare
Never heard of it. I will research it. Thank you.
Now I understand where you are coming from... that doesn't sound like a pain in the butt. It's so unnecessarily cumbersome. It's like the government either begrudgingly legalized cannabis and intentionally made bad rules, but maybe the rules were just written by people who had no about cannabis. If those rules bother you, they bother a lot of other people too. Hopefully that will lead to a better growing situation for you.
Well, as you get older these things should have become more clear if one stopped to pay attention.
That is very kind of you. I have tried the feminized, and the effects wear off too fast in what we had (from a popular seed company.) Some went hermaphroditic in late flowering. Perhaps I was unlucky.
Welcome to ICM!
, that was a damn fine read. I'm a bit more blunt and profane than you but our philosophies are very similar.
I grew weed for decades.
