I've been growing awhile,and I need to know if you start a indoor crop, and you know for a fact that you got all the male plants out before they flowered with pollen,having all females left, how come you still get one or two seeds here and there and are those seeds female? Same Question for good bag pot thats only got one or two seeds in a bag?

I need some opinions.
My plant is about two feet tall now, but the leaves are sagging a little bit. I just transplanted it last night into a bigger pot, and I'm wondering if the plant is in shock...... It's a shativa plant. What kind of soil and nutrients are good for it at this stage, and how much light should I be giving it at this point?

Ooops, sorry I meant to say to start popping the seeds to use 14 hours at first, not the flowering stage, my bad. I blame the Chemdawg!

To answer your quetion Mudd, yes male plants can help create seeds that can procue both male or female plants. There are several things that one can do to 'help' seeds turn into female plants vs. males though it is not foolproof. Flowering them at a slightly lower light time (around 14hrs instead of 18+) and providing them with certain spectrum ranges of lighting ( I believe blue, but someone correct me if I'm mistaken ) can also help promote female plants. Stress such as light/water/ph etc can all play a role as well. There are also feminized seeds which will produce female plants that have been gred by man but work pretty well. I prefer using clones myself, as you are pretty much guaranteed all plants to be genetic replicas of their parent and also help speed up the initial growth process, cutting down on total time. Hope I helped.

Hey Austin, depending on where you are located and the climate you can expect different things. I am asssuming youre in the states and that you are seeing shorter daylight and colder temps. I would say the minimum amount of sunlight you want for your vegie period is 14 hours (this can actually help your number of female vs. males if from seed). If the temps drop too low, the growth rate of your babies will slow to a halt and if its too cold, they will die. A tent that lets in light with a heater or bringing them in at nite for warmer temps can work too. Once again though, it depends on it your are further north or down south and how extreme the temps get. If you keep the base of the plant warmer, the plants can take a slightly lower temp as well. Good Luck!

Id say I know a decent amount of information regarding growing at home outdoors. But one of my questions thats never been answered directly is what kind of effects will starting my plants outdoors in november have on my crop? This is probably an easy question but im just looking for a direct answer.

Hey Danny first time grower here. Already having problems. 2 different types of bugs have infested my girls. One was white/blackish purple, and it just craweled around. The other is a black looking thing with wings kinda like a flying ant.
Please Help.

Seen a couple of ur videos, looks cool. Way to keep it real. Legalize the plant and stop spending taxpayers money on a cruel, unjust and hypocritical policy.
