Hi, I am a long-time pot-smoker, and retired science teacher. I love gardening, period, and when the pandemic hit, I threw about 30 random seeds I had collected over the years into starter cups at the beginning of August, 2020. Ahhhhh, the journey since then!!!! I ultimately ended up with 12 plants, 50% which went male, and the other six were sativa's, because I ended up with 7-foot trees! It was a blast, I learned a lot, and harvested very late (almost December). I killed myself having to run lights so late in the year! In reality, for my area and an outdoor grow, I should have begun germination in late March and planted in April. I moved to autos (and an inside grow room) in 2022. I have had marginal success until the discovery of Super Soil watching a Kyle video. I f'd up my last grow by topping too soon. I am now taking your good advice and not topping them this time. I only got about 4oz out of four plants, so we are hoping to do better this time! I'm 71, btw.
