I am on my first grow... Sort of. I started off with some bag seeds in soil, MG and used MG Ferts and a single 400w MH. They all took off like champs. My father in law used to grow a long while back to tell weed. Looking back now and hearing more of the story, he had a partner and I think the partner may have been the brains. My FIL told me to trim leaves to promote secondary growth. I did this when the plants were like 6" tall. I was stoned, and had been drinking beer, and I accidentally cut one plant in half. My FIL said, "It's okay, leave it alone, it may be really good". Most of those bag seed plants were sort of stunted but the Big Bud seeds I bought were just going crazy. After sorting out the males of the bag seeds that didn't leave too much of them. However, one did live, the one that I cut in half. It grew two colas and sort of thrived. It was one of the oldest plants I have, so when I flowered the BB I flowered it too. The BB has Bigger Buds, but as you may be able to see, the bag seed plant is way slower to flower than the others. I am 7 weeks into the 12/12 now, and the BB looks ready to harvest (almost), but the bag seed plant looks like it wants to go much longer. After reading here about the problems growing a Sativa strain it made me think that may be what it is, or at least a mixture. The leaves are longer and thinner, but not in an exaggerated way. Anyway, here is the photo, please take a look. My plan was to cut the colas in a week or two of the BB, when I think the trichomes look right. I plan to let them flower the lower buds for awhile and get bigger or more mature when they get more light. That is my plan anyway, and that would give me a chance to flower this one longer. If it is a Sativa, I wonder how long it well take to be mature. I hope that it will be done before the other lower buds on the BB are. Also of note, I do not see a lot of trichomes yet on the Big Bud. I guess that may happen someday. I know the friend I got the seeds from pretty good, and whatever sub species it is, I am sure it is good smoke.
Thanks for the help in advance.
