All You Need to Grow

Harvest!
When do I harvest? Everybody tells me to wait till it freezes, but I don’t know—maybe I should harvest sooner. I live in Tucson, AZ, and even though we are at a high elevation, it doesn’t freeze here until late October. What should I do?
Desert Owl
Dear Desert Owl,
Harvest when the plants are ready to harvest; pay attention to what your plants tell you. Unless a very bad storm is coming that would blow them over and beat them with raindrops, or unless an impending freeze is at hand, harvest your plants when they’re ready. There are five distinct types of plants that are ready at five different times. Use the information below as a guideline.
For example, Hash Plant, Afghani, Hindu Kush, etc., finish in mid- to late August. The yield and potency are high, and so is the fragrance! When nurtured by an experienced grower, these strains are thick with resin. They grow best with lots of intense sunlight and water from below, not from above (i.e., rain). Use a 30x microscope to see if the resin glands are well-formed, with a knob on top of a small post. Harvest before half of the glands start to deteriorate, and keep an eye out for mold.
Early Pearl, Early Queen, Early Riser, Manitoba Poison and similar strains finish in early September at your latitude of 34°N. They are potent and yield a little better than the plants in the first group, and they’re all easy to grow.
Mighty Mite, Durban Poison and Jack Herer finish in mid- to late September. The yield and potency are very good, and the odor is not too intense. These strains grow a huge, dominant main cola with several large terminal buds on the main branches. You should also check these plants for peak ripeness with a 30x microscope.
Blueberry, White Widow, White Rhino, Super Silver Haze and Pure Power Plant tend to finish in mid- to late October. The yields and potency are very high! They don’t have an intense fragrance while growing, but that changes quickly when they are cut! Mold can be a problem with them.
Skunk #1, Northern Lights #5, Big Bud, and pure or nearly pure sativas finish from late October to early November. Sometimes sativas don’t finish at all if the weather cools too much and snow comes. Potency is superb in all of the plants in this category except for Big Bud. All of them grow tall—often to 15 feet—and are generally tolerant of cold.

the dimensions of the space are about 2 feet tall x 4 feet long x 2 ft wide
i'm just trying to get the plants started and very healthy then move them to a larger space where they can have more room...
the plants were extremely healthy for the first two-three weeks but suddenly they seemed to have haulted.
I pulled one of the plants out and the root system is poop....
i'm using distilled water for watering and i also used some miracle gro plant food during the third week...
what do you think is causing them to stop growing and preventing the root system to take off and grow healthily?

Growing outside has two and only two major advantages over inside growing, 1) enormous amounts of light from the sun, and 2) it's all free. For all other facets of growing ( e.g., water, light, pests, temperature, nutrients, soil quality, time of flowering , etc. ) you will be much better served by an inside operation because you can exercise as much control as you like over the plant's environment. The security of an inside grow is also far better than sticking it in the ground outside for all the world to see.
Regarding seed gender, if anyone has ever discovered a way to distinguish between male and female seeds, I've never heard of it. Sorry.

of course its upto you.. and if youve cloned that male .. then yes the clones will be male too.. what id be tempted to do is to grow a male clone out and collect the pollen for future crosses.. male pollen will keep for almost ever in the fridge.. of course if its a real good strain youre growing.. the male pollen could be a god send for later grows, as you only need to paint the pollen onto the bud where you choose.. this way it wont seed the whole crop.. just where you applied the pollen..

then just go to your search engine and type in cannabis cultivation...dudes you can write your own book. No really...it is amazing I started from no real knowledge on the growing part...but now am, I would say a step or two above amature. this is my second go around and am even more pleased with my results...AND!! first time cloned! am super stoked!!!

The qualitative difference between the plants is that the females will get you stoned, whle the males will usually only give a mild buzz.

Dr Chronic is not reliable.
