Help me out

[glennon111]

whats up. i jsut started growing bud. i got this weird pot, and decided i wanted to try to grow weed in it, so i threw some miracle grow in the pot, threw in some seeds and threw the thing outback. turns out 3 plants come up. its 4 weeks as of today (june 19). ive been reading guides and FAQ's and nothings really helping much. i dont want the plant to high, and ill take only a quarter. the sun hits it around 630, and sets around 8, but dosent get dark till 9. the bottom leaves are looking yellowish and dieing.

if anyone could help me out, in any way, id appriate it. thanks.

well first of all you gotta get them each in seperate pots, and make sure to get them enough nitrogen.. get a good fertilizer for veg. stage, or dilute your piss 1/10 to water and water your plants with that, theyll get lots of nitrogen :)

I hate to break it to ya but that pot is not going to be good for much besides novelty. Unless you want to grow cannabis' very close cousin, the strawberry! That is what those pots are built for. The side things are supposed to be for the little runner things that you can pin down and root.

I'd suggest you start over with fresh seeds, or try to scoop out as much of each plant's roots as possible- right away- and put each in its own pot. Keep them out of direct sunlight for a few days after transplant to get over having their roots jostled.

if i dont transplant how long should i wait to start changeing the lighting for it to flower and bud and for me to end up with like a quarter or half?

[stinkyattic]

You won't get much of anything. Those pots do not drain well at all and it is likely that your plant will die of root rot before harvest.
But if you want to flower it in there, change the lights to 12/12 NOW to keep them as small as possible. They will still double or triple in size and choke each other out, and transplanting is an important part of keeping a rapidly-growing annual happy in a pot over time... transplant. Give yourself half a chance.

how do i transplant this then, like even get the side one out?

[stinkyattic]

With a potting hand-shovel for the larger ones, or a large metal serving spoon for the side one. Take as MUCH dirt in the scoop as you can. Try not to break up the root ball.

[glennon111]

so i jsut transplanted and it looks weak now, ima leave it under my porch away from sunlight for at least 2 days, i lsot mad roots cuz the pot is wider in the middle then the mouth or bottom. any suggestions on what to do from here?

Let them recover for a few days, then gradually move them into dappled sunlight and then full sun when you see that they can take it.
You will be feeding them soon too if you aren't already. They don't seem hungry yet though.

[glennon111]

how long untill i go to 12/12

[glennon111]

also, she looks like she cant hold up the leaves, like there to heavy, wondering why. its all droopy

[greenatik]

you cant flip to 12/12 outdoors unless you create a tarp or something to simulate complete darkness. they are probably droopy from the transplant, let them be they should recover

[glennon111]

well the leaves look much stronger today, and i still am keeping it under my poarch. one more question. before i transplanted i was going to go into 12/12 light, so after 12 hours outside in the light i brought my plant inside, about the same temp, maybe a little cooler inside, and 3 hours later the leaves seemed very droopy so i brought it back outside. i mean at that point it was dark out, but if i can make complete darkness, when shoul;d i go 12/12

[stinkyattic]

Wait until the plant is strong enough to take any type of strong light, then you can switch whenever you like. Most people will wait until the nodes go 'alternating' and the stem starts to look zigzaggy. You will know when it happens. But mostly it is important to get past the transplant shock first.

[glennon111]

well today the plants look alot better, theres no more droopy ness in the leaves and shit. everything looks like its going back to normal. im gona give it another 2 days before i go back into light.

also, stinkyattic, where do u live in mass, i use ot live in abignton mass, also stoughton, but now i live in RI

[redrosesforabluelady]

mine is doing the same thing. it could be a few things it could be a nitrogen deficiency, or over watering the oldest leaves useally go though.. once most of the leaves start to change thats when a problem occurs

[glennon111]

hey do u fix the nitrogen problem?
