    when is the best time to germinate outside with minimal effort. just planting the seed in Los Angeles County. What day would YOU put the seed in soil? First full moon of March?>

    I would like to thank you so much. I appreciate you and the way you explained everything was astonishing to me. Your voice is also smooth and it grabbed my attention to listen and learn from you. You also made my anxiety lower by saying, if you made it this far then you are already doing good. Thank you for showing how to tell if it is male or female. I am growing this plant on accident. I found it in a batch of medicine I purchased, I tossed it in soil with another plant and it has succeeded thus far. I don’t know how it’s gonna turn out but you have made me more conscious. Thank you infinity times.

    Too late to harvest cause the weed is going to be strong weed…



  5. @deceivedemotions5405 on February 20, 2024 at 1:01 am

    When you chop the branches off, can the plant continue growing new batches ? Can you maintain a plant consistently ?

    I’m a beginner, I know this might sound strange but is it ok if I could put more than one plant in the flower pot?

    for an organic pesticide you can take stinging nettle, crush them up in a bag and throw them in a bucket of water and stir once daily for about two weeks then put the water (filter the stinging nettles out) in a spray bottle and spray it on your plant

  40. @livinginbidenstan3251 on February 20, 2024 at 1:37 am

    After watching this, I realize how I did everything wrong with my 1 plant indoors by window!



  41. @davidanderson8469 on February 20, 2024 at 1:41 am

    Non violent felons don’t go to jail in California. I’m not too worried about my plants. For caterpillars I use BT and check for them every night with a flashlight and tweezers.



  42. @darwinxke2827 on February 20, 2024 at 1:42 am

    I’ve used my iPhone camera to check tricomes for years. Just get up close, focus, click, then enlarge w fingertips as needed. Works great.



  43. @TheMidnightSun33 on February 20, 2024 at 1:47 am

    Great video!



  44. @vashonwatchdog on February 20, 2024 at 1:49 am

    Male plants will not turn a female plant male; it will turn it to seed.



  45. @outdoorsgodbolt1949 on February 20, 2024 at 1:50 am

    This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much. I’m not near your library but I will visit my local library this week. Still one of the best places for information.

  47. @prodalx1341 on February 20, 2024 at 1:51 am

    this video was super helpful! u da man



  49. @loreicmaster on February 20, 2024 at 1:55 am

    I find it odd so many people believe in washing their tricones right off their weed into waste buckets. but hey man its your weed.



  50. @joelpritchard451 on February 20, 2024 at 1:58 am

    Ontario Canada law you can grow up to 4 plants per house
