Organics for Beginners
What Does “Organic” Mean?
An organic product can broadly be described as any product that’s derived from a recently living organism. To grow organic pot means that your growing medium and plant foods result from natural sources and not synthetic salt compounds dreamed up in a lab. Organic particles are capable of decay or are sometimes the product of decay, unlike the chemical formulas designed to grow commercial crops cheaply.
In a natural setting, plants, dead animals and animal waste all collect over time on the forest floor, where they decay with the help of bugs, bacteria, worms and fungus to provide nourishment in the topsoil layer so vital to plant growth. This process, referred to as the “soil food web,” is how recently living organisms feed their future selves and complete the cycle of life and death. Roots thrive, aided by mycorrhizal fungi that help break down nutrients for easy accessibility and uptake. This top humic layer of soil, teeming with beneficial microbes and bacteria, is what we try to re-create when growing organic pot.
Examples of chemically derived nonorganic nutrients are Miracle-Gro, Peter’s and the popular General Hydroponics Flora Series three-part formula. These nutrients will grow plants with nice-looking, sizable flowers, but without a long flush, these buds will burn like charcoal, with a black ash that continuously needs to be relit. I’ve smoked plenty of decent chemically grown pot (and grown it in the past), but the same strains, grown organically, always win out in the final analysis.
Why Organics?
Pouring salts and chemicals onto a dead medium and then down the drain does unnecessary damage to your local environment, polluting rivers, lakes and oceans. One look at some of the results of chemical agribusiness runoff, such as the Salton Sea in Southern California, and you’ll see why nonorganic nutrients are never advisable: Rotting fish carcasses float on the salty foam of a dead sea, and the whole area reeks with a foul stench that’s clearly man-made. This isn’t the woodsy, earthy smell of natural decay prevalent in a compost pile; it’s the acrid odor of an early demise caused by overuse of chemicals.
Cannabis growers should feel an obligation to use a healthy, living soil to produce truly medicinal and connoisseur-quality pot. Now, most nutrient companies provide organic alternatives that won’t clog drippers or stink up reservoirs, so even hydro growers can take advantage of more natural plant foods. Medicinal users growing their own buds should especially take note of organic methods. There’s no longer any legitimate reason to use chemical formulas.
How?
The simplest way to grow organically indoors is in 5-gallon buckets with holes drilled into the bottom. You can grow big plants that will yield at least a quarter-pound-per-plant without the trouble of trying to manage and water a whole bunch of smaller plants. Limits on plant amounts in states that allow medical marijuana also encourage farmers to produce fewer, bigger plants. Larger containers will work for monster plants but the 5-gallon size have proved easiest to work with and move around, and can be found at any paint supply or hardware store.
Fill the buckets with the prepared mix described below (or another one of your choice) and place seedlings or female clones into the top of the mix. Lighting for plants this size should be at least 400-watt HIDs (High Intensity Discharge ) – either MH (Metal Halide) or HPS (High-Pressure Sodium), with 600-watt or 1000-watt lighting as ideal for bigger colas. These plants will need to grow in their vegetative state for at least a month to reach the proper size to initiate flowering and begin the budding stage of plant life. Lighting must penetrate deeply in order to fill out the buds that will grow on a bush that will reach 3 or more feet before it’s finished.
Danny Danko’s Magic Organic Mix for 5-gallon Buckets
3 parts Canadian sphagnum peat mix, coco coir or Pro-Mix
1 part large chunky perlite
1 part worm castings
1/2 cup greensand
1/2 cup of dolomite lime
1/3 cup of Peruvian seabird guano
1/4 cup Epsom salts
Mix it all together and soak it all down for at least a day or two before you plan to use it to get all the contents blended up and oxygenated. It should be wet throughout but not over-saturated.
The first few waterings should be done with plain water as the fresh planting mix is fairly “hot” (nutrient-rich). Let water sit out for at least 24 hours to evaporate chlorine that will kill off your beneficial microbes. Airstones at the bottom of the bucket with an air pump will speed up this process as well.
From then on, use compost teas and diluted liquid seaweed throughout growth and add some high-phosphorus bat guano tea during flowering. No need to flush towards the end, simply use milder tea for the last two weeks of flowering. Some natural yellowing will occur on fan leaves but this is a good thing as nitrogen is leaching out of the plant’s cells.
Making Organic Teas
The same 5-gallon buckets are perfect for brewing custom teas for each stage of plant growth. Early on, a compost tea is perfect for both watering and foliar spraying. Fill a nylon stocking with your chosen ingredients, which can include compost, guanos from both seabirds and bats and a little bit of molasses to feed the microorganisms. Fill the bucket with water and use an air pump and air stone bubblers to oxygenate the water for a few hours (this helps remove chlorine and other potential pollutants). Now, dunk the nylon sock into the water and steep for two days while stirring occasionally and allowing the airstones to bubble throughout the process to keep everything aerobic (oxygenated).
Now you’re ready to use the tea. Let it sit for a half hour or so to settle and then strain it into another bucket. You can feed this tea directly to the plants roots by saturating the growing mix in your buckets and/or spray the leaves for the added benefit of suppressing foliar diseases. Use the tea immediately. It’s only at it’s most effective for an hour or so.
Organics Outdoors
It’s even easier to grow organically outdoors. If you’ve got the space, start a compost pile with leaves and kitchen scraps as well as lawn clippings (and even spent rootballs and used bubblebag scraps). Turn the pile once a week with a shovel or compost fork and you’ll have plenty of free compost (a.k.a. “black gold”) to mix into your outdoor soil and use as a nutritious mulch for your pot plants.
Outdoors, the bigger your container – the better. Loose organic mixes and plenty of sunshine encourage roots to grow at tremendous rates, leading to huge bushes that yield over a pound-per-plant and more! Better yet, dig your own hole deep and fill it with a variety of organic materials for a custom “seasoned” spot you can re-use year after year by simply replenishing the mix. Liquid seaweed and liquid fish as well as compost and guano teas combined with a healthy regimen of organic additives will keep plants happily thriving in the sun. Before long, you’ll be growing trees with trunks that need a hacksaw to take down!
Organic Pest Control
There are beneficial insects to combat every plague and dozens of natural sprays that are effective and non-toxic ways to eliminate the pests that damage plants. Chemical bombs and synthetic pesticides have no place in any cannabis garden. Predator mites and ladybugs are simple to acquire through the mail and it’s actually kind of fun to watch them devour their prey – the evil vegetarian bugs that have been feasting on your plants. Smoke a big spliff, get a nice-sized magnifying glass and watch the massacre unfold. It’s like Discovery Channel, but with weed!

Stoner Sex: Working Out, Live Models, the Oldest Profession & Weekend Sex
Dear Hyapatia,
OK, I get why Trump is an asshole for fat-shaming Alicia Machado, but what is the politically correct way to let someone you care about know they’re starting to cross the line? My boyfriend used to be really into bodybuilding and I loved him for it. It was something we shared. Over the last few months, he’s stopped going to the gym as often. But he still eats like a body builder. The weight is starting to pile on. I don’t want him to get unhealthy, so what’s the best way to let him know he’s letting himself go without creating bad feelings? – Michelle
Dear Michelle,
Sometimes working out can become a chore, so you have to keep it fresh. You say bodybuilding was something you shared, so why not go to the gym together? Turn it into a date. Get in a good workout, shower, then go do something together that you both enjoy – or go home and make love! Sex is often terrific after a workout. If you lead by example, then no words are really necessary, and you get to spend some quality time together.
Dear Hyapatia,
I’m in between girlfriends right now and I like to go online and watch live models. Some are really friendly, but others, not so much. I get the feeling they think we’re perverts. Don’t they realize they make a living off of us and if we are perverts, what does that make them? Why do some of these models have such an attitude? – Bill
Dear Bill,
Some models may seem to have an attitude. Of course, some may just be having a bad day. But I’d guess that many of their clients are less than respectful toward them.
In my book Native Strength (published August 2016), I make it clear that our society has taken sex, something that is natural and beautiful, and made it shameful. (It’s very similar to how a beneficial plant like cannabis has been demonized, which I also discuss.) Sometimes even those working in the sex industry are susceptible to the propaganda.
It can be frustrating to communicate or “perform” for someone if they think you’re stupid, or if someone thinks you’re a person who will do anything for money, simply because you’re in the sex industry. It could certainly cause a model to take her frustration out on others. It’s not right and it just spreads negativity. Everyone deserves to be treated as the unique individual they are. With that in mind, seek out more positive models, honey.
Dear Hyapatia,
My girlfriend wants to be a hooker. I love her very much and don’t want to lose her. We have always enjoyed a very sexual relationship and have been swingers for over a year. She thinks it would be fun to make money this way. I want to be supportive, but I worry about her getting hurt or arrested. What do you think? – Phil
Dear Phil,
There are many ways to benefit financially while enjoying your sexuality. Modeling online is one of the easiest and safest. You could even join her in live sex shows. There are many companies you can work with to help in that endeavor. If she’s really set on the personal contact, I’d recommend Nevada, as that’s the only place in the US where prostitution is legal. I’ve heard there are many places to work there, although I have no personal experience. By all means, steer her away from illegal prostitution. It’s not only a risk to her freedom, but to her safety as well. (And it’s really hard to get weed in prison.) Personally, I think the best option is to stay home and do online modeling. That way she can get high and have sex all while making money in the comfort of her own home.
Dear Hyapatia,
My girlfriend and I only smoke on the weekends. Gradually it’s gotten to where we only have sex on the weekend, too. Are the two related? I’d hate to think she only wants to have sex with me when we’re high. – Eli
Dear Eli,
Sometimes when we get into the habit of waiting for the weekend to get into party mode, it can make us focus solely on work during the week. This can sometimes mean working ourselves to the point where we’re so tired by the end of the day that there simply isn’t enough energy left to stir the libido. I’ve never heard of anyone wanting sex only when they’re high, but not having energy for sex during the week is very common. It’s especially true if you work long hours at a demanding job or have kids or other additional obligations. If any of this rings true, keep reminding yourself it has nothing to do with you personally or how she feels about your relationship, or the weed. It may have everything to do with being overworked during the week and finally being able to let her hair down on the weekend. It sounds like a romantic vacation is in order. If a couple doesn’t have time for each other, then they don’t have time for themselves individually. That can lead to emotional instability and unhappiness.

Recreational Pot Shops Now Open in Oregon
BY ANDREW SELSKY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Starting on Saturday, Oregonians can buy marijuana for recreational use at shops intended for that purpose.
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission announced on Friday it has approved licenses for 26 retailers around the state, meeting a key deadline almost two years after voters passed a ballot measure legalizing pot.
“It’s a pretty exciting day for the OLCC,” Steven Marks, the executive director of the commission charged with regulating recreational marijuana, said in a conference call with journalists. He said 12 recreational retailers can start operating as soon as Saturday.
October had been set as the month in which retail store licensing would start under an OLCC timeline. Medical marijuana stores have been permitted to sell recreational marijuana since last October. Such dispensaries won’t be allowed to sell to recreational users after Dec. 31.
The approved retail shops are located in the Portland area, and in southern, central and western Oregon, including along the coast. Other applications are pending.
The commission has also licensed dozens of recreational producers.
Ten testing laboratories have also been licensed, Marks said. Recently, the head of the agency that accredits labs that tests pot for pesticides, potency and other elements complained that the agency was overburdened and at the point of collapse.
Marks said those issues seem to have been resolved and that the Oregon Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program, known as ORELAP, made a “heroic effort” in dealing with lab accreditation applications.
Marijuana sold legally in Oregon had been tested before, but now the labs must be accredited, and the packaging labeled with the lab results.
Products previously bought by retailers and sitting in back rooms and on shelves can be sold through March 2017. But items that shops buy after Oct. 1 must be tested under the new, more regulated system, Marks said.
The OLCC is also focusing on keeping names and labels on cannabis products from being attractive to children, Marks said.
Oregon, Alaska, Washington and Colorado have legalized recreational marijuana, and it is on the ballot in several other states in November.

Matanuska Thunderf**k, Anti-Pot Politics, and Nordhoff’s Ghost. A Sordid Tale From Alaska
Way back in 1975, shortly after a fluke court decision legalized marijuana in Alaska for the first time, HIGH TIMES sent a writer north to the Last Frontier. In Fairbanks, the writer met a guy who went by the name of Nordhoff.
Nordhoff made a claim that piqued the interest of pot fans across the Lower 48:
“Nordhoff carefully cleans out the bowl of a fossilized walrus tusk pipe and fills it with green leaf. The buds are huge, the size of a Malemute’s paw. He carefully picks one apart and crumbles it. ’Matanuska Thunderfuck’ he declares, firing it up. ‘The finest pot grown in the 50 states.”
“This weed is so strong it grows through the snow to find the sun,” Nordhoff said. “Farmers in the Valley plant it alongside patches of cabbage so big it takes two men to carry them, tomatoes so big you have to cut them off with a chain saw.”
The valley Nordhoff was talking about isn’t just any valley. He was talking about the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, Alaska’s agricultural heartland. And he was right about the vegetables, which remain gigantic to this day. At the annual state fair in Palmer, farmers display freakishly-large, world-record-sized produce. Two years ago, dentist Steve Hubacek won the Giant Cabbage Weigh-Off with a 117.95 pound specimen.
Today the weed wars have returned to Alaska and the MatSu Valley. After 16 years of decriminalization, voters recriminalized in 1990. Eight years later voters decided to reallow medical pot and then in 2014 they joined Colorado, Washington and other states in reforming the law to allow for recreational use. State legalization laws tend to give local governments a degree of control over whether their jurisdictions will be part of the industry. In Alaska, though, “local” means something different than in most of the country. That’s what a group of diehard anti-pot crusaders are up to in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough – Alaskaspeak for ‘county’ — Nordhoff’s legacy be damned. They put an initiative to ban cannabis businesses in the borough, and the borough will vote on the measure Oct. 4. They’ll be voting a month before Election Day, when voter turnout will likely be higher and skew younger and more liberal.
Alaska’s most recently legalized in 2014, at the same time as Oregon; but the 49th state didn’t begin accepting applications for business licenses until late February 2016. It didn’t become clear that MatSu officials would try to crack down until two months later, the day before 4/20. It was a shock. By that time, some businesses in the Valley had already completed their application requirements. The borough assembly voted for a moratorium on cannabis business operations in early May, over the opposition of borough Mayor Vern Halter.
For everything except cultivation, the moratorium remains in effect until mid-October, when the votes have been counted. Supporters of legal cannabis see the MatSu initiative as a tactic for prohibitionists to roll back legalization in Alaska, and disrupt any would-be entrepreneurs in the short term. “In their efforts to delay, delay, delay and invoke industry wide bans in the 25th hour, many in the MatSu Borough cannabis industry have been pushed to the edge financially,” opponents said in a statement.
Forty years ago, in Alaska, the High Times reporter hung out with bush pilots who flew bales of weed across the interior and shot caribou from their planes. They visit Inuit tribespeople, called “Eskimo” at the time, and discuss the possibility of pools beneath the ice that can be extracted with “some hash oil wells.”
We live in a more prosaic time, but the scale and emptiness of Alaska can still challenge the imaginations of those in the Lower 48. The MatSu Valley is a 25,000-square-mile slab of land wedged beneath the Alaska Range. With about 100,000 people, the Valley has the fastest-growing population in Alaska. In its south, where commuting to Anchorage is common, it is Alaska’s version of an exurb. Much of the rest is wilderness.
MatSu’s largest town, Wasilla, has about 8,500 people, including the members of one nationally known family. If the ballot initiative passes, recreational cannabis sales in the borough, an area the size of West Virginia, would be limited solely to the town of Houston.
Alaska is a reliably Republican state, but the MatSu Valley is more socially conservative than the rest, as exemplified by Sarah Palin & Co. Even after the state legalized, opposition runs strong. Tel White, a businessman who’s running the campaign to oppose the ban and hopes to work in cannabis marketing, said no polling is available but that he wasn’t optimistic. “It would be amazing if we won,” White said. “The MatSu Borough has not voted in favor of the marijuana industry ever.” (Supporters of the ban did not respond to interview requests.)
Only about 9,000 voters are expected to turn out, said Bailey Stuart, a mom who co-owns the Green Jar, a Wasilla dispensary that currently sells CBD products. (The Palins haven’t visited, she said. Nor have they taken a stand on the initiative.) The state won’t allow MatSu Valley businesses to apply for marijuana licenses until after the vote.
Though it’s a small campaign, it has been a nasty fight. Pro-pot campaign signs have been vandalized and two pot business owners are suing the borough over bringing the initiative. A judge ruled that their cases would be decided after the vote.
Stuart doesn’t support the idea of suing the government. He wants the vote of the people. “We want to make it clear that we are wanted in the valley,” she said.
Alaska has had a cannabis scene since at least the 1960s, as hippies found their way to the new, northernmost state. In 1975, Alaska unexpectedly became the first state to effectively decriminalize weed. It all started with a 1972 incident in which a lawyer named Irwin Ravin was found with cannabis and instead of signing a ticket started a legal fight that eventually wound up before the state’s Supreme Court, which took the idiosyncratic legal stand that there was a constitutional right to privacy that included a small amount of weed in one’s home. As the HIGH TIMES article makes clear, Alaskans at the time thought it would lead to an economic boom. It didn’t work out that way.
Over the ensuing decades there has been a long tug of war over the plant’s status. During the first Bush Administration, in 1990, voters recriminalized, but the courts doggedly upheld an individual right to possession of small amounts.
Later, in 1998, it was among the first states to legalize medical. But Alaska is a place where people do what they want, and there’s plenty of room to hide a few plants.
Alaska is also the only state where the law allows for some form of public consumption, but so far, neither recreational dispensaries nor Amsterdam style coffee shops have opened.
In MatSu, Stuart said, prohibitionists have some “silly” fears, like legalization inviting gangs and cartels into the northern wilds. But she said the toughest argument to fight off is that cannabis is a gateway drug. Like many parts of the country, Wasilla is in the midst of an opiate crisis. “Heroin or cannabis, that’s the choice you have here,” Stuart said. And while research has shown that cannabis could mitigate the number of opioid related deaths, some are reluctant to welcome a new drug into drug-ravaged communities. (A similar mindset has set back legalization in Vermont and perhaps elsewhere.)
As the MatSu Valley faces prohibition again, its most famous product is in short supply. The fate of Nordhoff is unknown. Stuart told me of a man named John Shelp who “is rumored to have been closely involved or directly responsible for the creation of the MTF strain.” After he was busted proceeds from a local concert went to his legal fees for several years. In 2014, Shelp tried to trademark “Matanuska Thunderfuck” out of Nome, but abandoned the application.
There’s another guy known as MTF Jeff, Stuart says, who’s thought to grow in the bush, but no one seems to know how to reach him. The real Matanuska Thunderfuck strain is “a bit of a legend here,” Stuart said. “There are people here who are extremely hard to get ahold of.”

STRAIN OF THE DAY 10/03/2016: GOLDEN GOAT (HYBRID)
from
https://www.potbox.com/database/hybrid/golden-goat/
Try These Cannabis Strains That are as Sweet as Honey
Strains & Products Cannabis strain and product insights with curated strain lists, new devices, and other fun facts.
Honey is an amazing substance — it’s a natural sweetener, a super-food with a nearly endless shelf life (if sealed properly), and has outstanding nutritional and medicinal benefits that can even help people adapt to local allergens (not to mention how delicious it is on baklava, peanut butter sandwiches, and in a cup of hot coffee or tea!).
Leafly is home to over 60 specific strains that exhibit notes of honey. As your strain researcher and a passionate purveyor of fine cannabis, I’ve curated a shortlist of honey-flavored strains that will make your fingers sticky and your taste buds smile. Enjoy!
Panama Red
Panama Red is best described as an old-school cannabis classic. Originating from Panama, this pure sativa rose to stardom in the late 1960’s thanks to its typical sativa effects: speedy and intense, bordering on psychedelic. As cannabis cultivation matured, Panama Red, which has a lengthy flowering time of at least 11 weeks, was left behind for faster growing strains and increased profits. However, those who fondly recall days of its prominence love its smooth medicating experience and loftily contemplate its revival. If you can get your hands on this sentimental throwback, do not hesitate to groove down memory lane and enjoy the ride.
Chocolate Thunder
When you combine the sweet cocoa flavor of Chocolope with the strength and potency of Alaskan Thunder Fuck, you get none other than Chocolate Thunder. This clear-headed, active sativa may be all you need to inspire creativity or promote concentration, and patients will appreciate its ability to dull symptoms without fogging mental faculties. True to its name, Chocolate Thunder has a subtle sweet, earthy aroma similar to that of chocolate.
Thor’s Hammer
Thor’s Hammer by SnowHigh Seeds is an uplifting sativa strain that combines genetics from Vortex, Cinderella 99, and Acapulco Gold. Like a bolt of lightning commanded by the Norse god himself, Thor’s Hammer delivers an electrifying blast of cerebral energy that awakens creativity and motivation. Its lightweight body effects make this strain a great choice for daytime use, and patients needing to crush fatigue and depression like the giants of Jotunheimr will likely find Thor’s Hammer to be the perfect weapon. You may also find a genetic variant of Thor’s Hammer from Alaska that instead combines God Bud and Sour Diesel in a more balanced indica-sativa hybrid cross.
Honey Banana
Honey Bananas from Elemental Seeds is a heavy-handed hybrid strain bred from Strawberry Banana and Honey Boo Boo. This cannabis strain earns its name with a resinous coat as sticky as honey and an unmistakable banana aroma. She leans heavily toward the indica side of the family, providing weighty full-body effects coupled with an invigorating buzz of cerebral euphoria.
Lodi Dodi
Lodi Dodi is a sativa-dominant hybrid popular in Washington State. Exclusively bred by The Clone Zone, the genetic heritage of Lodi Dodi is undefined and closely guarded. Lodi Dodi carries a sweet, unique flavor of tropical fruit and fresh wildflowers. The pungent aroma leads the way towards a cerebral buzz, known to spark creativity and a boost of energy that will turn any task into a more enjoyable adventure.
Nebula
The Nebula marijuana strain was bred by Paradise Seeds in 1996. Its name means “Starcloud” and it has been known to “twinkle” with THC coating, with a head and body buzz described as intense and almost psychedelic. The buds have been known to smell and taste like honey, and flowering time is a minimum of 9 weeks. Nebula has won many awards, including 3rd place in the sativa category at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1999 and 2nd place in 2005. It also took 3rd place at the Highlife Cup in 2004 in the Hydro category, and 1st place at the Copa La Bella Flor Spain in 2005.
Fortune Cookies
Fortune Cookies is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the famed genetics of Girl Scout Cookies and OG Kush in a potent mix of earthy, honeyed flavors. OG Kush genes are already present in Girl Scout Cookies, but Fortune Cookies has pronounced characteristics that OG fans will appreciate. Sativa genetics usually lead the way with Fortune Cookies, inducing a soaring, long-lasting buzz perfect for creative escapes. This hybrid can hit hard in larger doses, pushing past the confines of a subtle buzz into the weighty “couch-lock” effects typically associated with indica strains.
BC Sweet Tooth
Developed in British Columbia by BC Bud Depot, BC Sweet tooth is an indica-dominant hybrid known for its quick flowering time and candy taste. A hardy plant, this strain can be grown outdoors where it can flower in under 7 weeks, but it prefers the indoors where it may flower as soon as 6 weeks. The result of a cross with earlier generations of BC Sweet Tooth and classic Sweet Tooth, these sugary flowers are sure to satisfy your craving. The crystalline buds have a strong, sweet smell with a hint of citrus, and consumers report that this treat satisfies with a long-lasting, potent feeling that hits fast.
Danky Doodle
Originally named Double D as a reference to the large buds on these plants (we’ll let you make the connection there), breeder KC Brains decided to rename the strain Danky Doodle at the suggestion of some American friends in order to avoid confusion with the similarly named Double Dutch. Danky Doodle certainly isn’t a shy plant; it grows like the weed it is and will make its presence known with its pungent sweet smell. Plants flower at 9 to 11 weeks and should provide a high yield of large buds covered in a rich frost. This plant is a cross between several strains, and it’s no surprise that Big Bud is included in its lineage along with the strains Viking and the breeder’s own KC 636. The result is a strong indica that provides full body relief no matter what you call it.
Cream Caramel
Cream Caramel, named after its sweet caramel aroma, is a 90% indica cross between BlueBlack, Maple Leaf Indica, and White Rhino. Covered in a sugary coat of THC-rich resin, Cream Caramel delivers heavy, relaxing indica effects that soothe the mind and body. Though originally bred by Sweet Seeds in Spain, Royal Queen Seeds have also championed their own rendition called Royal Caramel. Early October is the finish line for outdoor Cream Caramel flowers, while indoor gardens should be harvested after a 7 to 8 week flowering period.
