From the bit I've already dried, I'd say I'll probably harvest no more than a quarter actually. They really are weird little buds. But still... I grew weed! I'm keeping all the leaves and stuff to make hash one day.

Well, a couple of ounces was optimistic... The plant actually ended up looking pretty fucked. Lots of things were wrong. I spent four days away, and it got badly dehydrated. It looked like a big green spiderweb on a stick, and I feared it was dead. It came back, but that must have been shock...

Let me know how you get on if you try sativa. I'd sum it up as 'the bad aspects of being stoned without the good aspects', but that's a personal thing of course. I could smoke this every day and 60g would last a year. It's so strong, I only need a tiny bit in a joint. Worst thing is, I don't...

It's definitely sativa I have a problem with. I just smoked my first joint in a couple of weeks, and it feels pretty bleak. It's put my head in a bad place, and it isn't what I'm looking for in a joint. I'm stoned, for sure, but there's none of the heavy-eyedness I associate with being stoned...

Thank you, Oldbear, and everyone else, for taking the time to read and comment. You prompted me to pick up some decaf teabags today! I'm not a caffeine fiend - I'm fine with decaf - and I don't usually consume too much sugar... but my diet has been very poor during this past year. I'm only just...

About psych meds... I'm convinced they're just a massive, money-spinning scam. Psych meds are horrible. At best, a chemical cosh. An injection I once had turned me into a shuffling zombie for a month. I didn't feel any better! I was just stiff as hell and weirdly uncomfortable all the time. What...

I topped it once, and I've been doing a very basic kind of LST, tying the highest branches to lower ones. There are quite a lot of flowers right under the light now. I'm still using the original 36W light, on the two babies I have, just for some extra hours of vegging light.

I met my mate the other day. Told him I might get a couple of ounces off it and he looked skeptical. Then he came and saw the plant, and said, "Oh yeah, that might do a couple of ounces." Ho ho ho, exciting times :-)

One male, one female. I'm happy with that :-) I thought about keeping the male but I'll throw it out.

That first session was good, thanks. Ten minutes in, I thought it wasn't for me, but now I've seen it through, I'll definitely go back. I was expecting a psychologist, but it turned out to be a counsellor. It was good anyway. My ex suffered from PTSD. Terrible thing. I'm glad you've found...

Ha, I didn't do *this* the past twenty years. Weed has been on and off. Sometimes it was alcohol, sometimes it was other stuff. It's just always been *something*. I drank my way through college and some uni. I've thought about it a lot, but I'm not motivated to finish uni. (I completed two...

Getting mashed is a twety-year habit. I've already toned it down massively. Rome wasn't built in a day. Maybe I'll just grow these plants before I let it go for good...

I'm a little rueful about the past. Not regretful. I should have made better choices, but it's understandable my life went this way. There's part of the problem. I still don't know what I'm into. I've got lots of interests, but no real passions. Everything just feels like a way to pass the...

I'm sensitive to everything these days. Even a couple of beers can play tricks with me. Maybe weed will prove to be the lesser of all evils. (I'd love to take speed on a regular basis, but I can't handle it at all now. That didn't stop me trying for a year or two.) Deep down, I think I'll...

I don't know what it is I've got now. Just a bag of weed off a guy. I've got couple of pure indica plants flowering in the cupboard, and now a pure sativa seedling on the go too. I haven't grown before. Half of me thinks this might be the best thing ever. The other half of me thinks, what the...
