I do a 3 week veg ( but straight to 12/12 works too. )I don’t know personally if it makes a difference but it may help prevent hermaphrodites giving plants a veg time.

If your main issue is detection, and boy howdy do I know that balls to the wall feeling of a 16 week flower time in an illegal country… Then loads of training, tie down, topping, lst, hst.
Also grow marigolds and other plants around your girl. Marigolds particularly help mask the smell and deter some pests. Plus peppermint also great for both purposes. Esp. Good vs ants farming scale peppermint.
If it’s the actual grow then that unfortunately can only be gained by experience. One reason I grow and breed autos, they are nice and quick turn around, don’t get too big and descrete af outdoors.
Hope you can get to grow some nice sativa outdoors bro. It really is amazing.

@romanoweed lives in Switzerland. His main problem is his love of Southeast Asian landraces and no indoor space to grow them in. Outdoors he has had surprising success considering the latitude and other obstacles he has to overcome.
I used to use Marigolds and other companion plants too. Great way to grow and some good additional herbs to harvest in the fall.

Man, it was such a relief to see that odd looking envelope in the mailbox. I have a Manipur Burma outdoors that has been dragging it’s feet, growing slowly. That delivery of exotic and truly rare genetics really made my day. Shiv is a good guy. This distance of one ocean and 10 time zones, the pall of Corona, mass hysteria made for a fog of uncertainty. Now… Steady as she goes. Onward.

incredible! i can honestly say the ganja or charas in India was easily the best most intense and unique cannabis experience of my life, have had plenty of others, but ive not been able to experience anything quite like it since the month i spent in southern India. Ive been wanting to experiment with making concentrate from various N. Indian cultivars but in truth i know its so far from the same conditions that to replicate the experience is a long shot at best, of course thats just my tip of the iceberg so hats off to you all on your incredible ganja journeys

This 100% anecdotal until otherwise proven by a peer-reviewed scientific study:
But in my experience, choosing fully flowering males that don’t mold, improves resistance. Hell, keeping males in higher humidity environments really puts pressure on them too (obviously, I know, sorry)
But take that with your daily dose of sodium-chloride.

Bhadra is the eighth wife of Krishna in Hindu religion not sure about the strain, the word actually represents a few different deities and also a mountain. There is a bhadra wildlife reserve also might have some tiger weed

I have this one as well when I message Shiva I asked him which ones would be good indoors
He said bhadra and Meghalaya with some training would do well

I’ve just received some seeds from the region of Ukhrul, 12 to be exact and i intend on making seeds from them. You guys seem to know a thing or 2 about these varieties so i thought I might pick your brain a bit. Given what you mentioned about this variety, would you recommend on open pollination or a selective pollination? and if selective what sorts of traits should I select?
