    Just started five seeds of each not my favourite way of doing seeds last time i seemed to plant every male seed in the packets first go round lol. Anybody ever grown these strains before?. Anything i need to know? I'm a bit worried about the jocks horror as my set up only 4 foot tall and there sativa's so will probably have to do some training.

    If your setup is only 4 ft tall then the sat phenos of the JH will be much too big, even with training... If I were you Id wait until they show sex, then take cuts from all the females, and trip them right away... If you have a decent amount of cuts your final yield should actually go up considering that your canopy should be much more even...

    I like it and with a bit of luck there all be early showers. 2 would be tight but 3 fems of JH should get me enough cutting to make it work. Just gotta time it all rite lol.

    hey rocklobster i see you had bother with lots of males try this site and plant your seeds at the right time ie when there is a water sign in the moon cycle trust me my friend it works out of 50 seeds planted 41 were female it also helps when to veg, flower and harvest you will see a huge difference

    Quite interesting that thanks. Oops planted on sunday and just getting them to break through the soil now so guess thats a fire sign.
    Never heard of using signs before but think the pull of the moon must affect how plants grow so must be something in.

    Well well well all these week later and they really kicking my butt just did.nt wanna grow big leafs and hence slow growth lost 1 of each due to being extremely weedie. pinched/topped them at 5 weeks new heads starting to appear and finally the leaves are getting bigger so fingers crossed.

    The trouble with mj today is that if your set up aint quite rite or dont match that of the breeder's then some dont grow that well whiles others grow like rockets. Just so annoying growin can be.

    Yep I've seen some of my cutting being grown and flowered in a colder place and it added an extra 2-3 weeks to the grow and an extra 2 to the flowering. Although i swear by cooler nites when blooming coz even the bud on the streets gets better at winter time.

    Yeah got ya, that makes sense the buds act like a thermal blanket. Lol my useless mates plant gone all wilty coz he could.nt get it to yield much bud so he cut it down to a third of its size and put it in his window with all the cold drafts but its still starting to grow the extra heads just ever so slowly lol some ppl ya tell them one thing and they do completely the reverse.
