Please help?

[GoodstuffYeah]

Okay I have two sprouts that are looking pretty good so far outside and one that just popped inside. I found some mg water soluble plant food, is this something I should use, if it is when should I start using it?
My other question is, I have my sprout inside in just alright soil it was a last resort thing but I finally got time and found some excellent natural soil outside, should I wait till my seedling gets bigger or should I move it now?
Any help would greatly appreciated. Thanks

[StickyBuds1987]

well how old are they man try and get some pics and that mg plant food should work but we need to know how old they are and you should try and put some pics up then it would be alot easier to help you

[GoodstuffYeah]

Yeah actually hold on I have some pictures but this is my oldest at 2 and a half weeks old
Imageshack - meplant.jpg (http://img27.imageshack.us/i/meplant.jpg/)

[StickyBuds1987]

well you prob could give it a lil bit of those nutes but just to be on tha safe side id only mix 1/4 of what it says to use you dont want to nute burn ya lil ones to death

[GoodstuffYeah]

How do you post the picture directly to the site instead of a link? I have more pictures but I'm new to this lol.

[StickyBuds1987]

oh eyah i just looked at the pic man that plant looks almost exactly as 2 of mine did tha 2 big leaves look weird and arent pointed idk whats that fro mbut i had the same shit lol um idk man if i would use any nutes on that lil one yest like i said if ya do id use the smallest about and slowly move up till it can handle a full dose water it with it about every 2 weeks so water it a couple times using like 1/4 of what it says to use and then move up to 1/2 and so on if ya get nute burn right now it would prob kill tha lil seedling

[StickyBuds1987]

How do you post the picture directly to the site instead of a link? I have more pictures but I'm new to this lol.

you have to get like 30 posts so just go browse tha fourm and make some posts once ya get over 3 you can post pics tha reg way

[GoodstuffYeah]

Alright well That one is actually doing the best out the two that age but this one is all weird though.Sorry for the quality I'm using a phone camera I'll use my camera next time I get a chance

well man make sure is ya are watering with tap water let it set out for 24 hours before watering and yeah man you can prob feed them a lil just be really careful not to over feed them or either ya cna just wait a week or 2 before feeding its all up to you man

[GoodstuffYeah]

Okay and how long should I wait till moving my inside plant to different/better soil? terrible picture but you can kind of see it. This one is only 4 days since planted.
http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/6141/insideplant.jpg

[StickyBuds1987]

well man id put it outside at 2 weeks old and thats when you will trans plant it

take a look at my log and i have some pics on there of my seedlings i germed and sprouted and kept them indoors for 2 weeks and then put them outside in tha ground http://boards.cannabis.com/outdoor-growing/182120-2010-first-grow-good-bagseed-grow-log.html

[GoodstuffYeah]

Yeah I 've kept up on yours there looking great btw.
But I just wanted to move it into better soil than it's already in or should I just not worry about it since it's growing fine?

[StickyBuds1987]

well right now if its growing good then i would not worrie about it aslong as it is still looking good there would be no reason to trans plant it this early if ya gonna have to do it again in like a week or so

[GoodstuffYeah]

Alright yeah that makes sense. Thanks
I'll post updates when I get home today.

[GoodstuffYeah]

1st is almost three weeks old looking pretty good
2nd and 3rd somethings wrong with it's leaves could anyone tell me whats wrong?

[MDFinest]

I Dont think they were getting enough light when they were inside... kind of small for 2 1/2 weeks. I generally dont feel comfortable putting my plants in their outdoor location until they are at least a month old. Putting them outside when they are a little stronger and more mature really increases your chances of success.

If Im starting it outdoors I put them in cups before I transplant them in the ground. It can be rough out their for seedlings and starting them in cups helps.

[dmcefc]

First pic looks good ,hard to tell from 2nd & 3rd pics as they're out of focus ,if your certain they were ganja seeds(lol) don't worry too much ,you will get some odd shape leaves until it grows out more ,I have got some funny twisted leaves were the fingers overlap this year.

EDIT=I agree with MD maybe you should of let them get a bit bigger in pots and have a better root system ,but nevermind.

Good Growin Mate.

[nugrowr]

i usually just put em out in a small cup that was used for like flowers at the store it has the holes in it at the bottom.. you need holes for drainage.. i put em bout half a finger into the dirt and i usually dont fert till its about 6 in or so and i start with 1/4 dose and go up gradually as i see it can take it... i accidentally watered one of my seedlings with my fert water the other day and it burnt it pretty bad.. also.. to me that looks like it might be the result of a bug attack.. or could be cuz the seed shell didnt fall off in time..

[GoodstuffYeah]

Well yeah I just planted these straight in the ground cuz I couldn't grow them anywhere inside, But ended up just putting one of my later seeds in my window but the stem is I think really long. Could it be stretching for the light?

[attachment=o244002]

[attachment=o244003]

[StickyBuds1987]

Yeah i agree with keeping them inside for longer till they are a lil bigger, cuz my 2 oldest plants i let them grow indoors for the whole month of march and but them outside the first week in april. And they are doing good, i have 4 seedlings that i put out at like 2 weeks old and they have not been doing so good they are still alive but i blame that on tha bad storm we had lastweek.

You should try and get some 2 liter or 3 liter clear or green plastic soda bottles and cut tha bottems off then put them over your lil seedlings. This will keep them safe from tha elements but take the top off so they can get air. You could poke holes in tha sides of them to so you get more air flow make, sure ya push tha bottles in tha dirt like an inch so that the wind rain or w.e does not blow it over.

[GoodstuffYeah]

Yeah I already have those on both of them
That's what the ring of dirt around the first one is from.

[StickyBuds1987]

[attachment=o244002]

[attachment=o244003]

man you need to put more soil in those cups and yes it could but streaching you should try putting something white behind it so that way it will reflect more light on it or just put them outside while they are still in cups somewhere they get sunlight all day and then bring them in at night or buy a couple cfls and veg them inside untill they are big enough to be planted outside

[StickyBuds1987]

Yeah I already have those on both of them
That's what the ring of dirt around the first one is from.

you might want to invest in some good potting soil so when ya get ready to put them outside you can dig a hole fill it with good soil and plant them in it

[GoodstuffYeah]

I'm restricted to my window so I'm gonna put more dirt in the cup and keep it there for probably 2-3 weeks then plant it outside with the other ones.

[GoodstuffYeah]

But yes the better dirt thing I can solve. Back behind my house the dirt in the river bottom is awesome so I'll get like a bucket of that.

[StickyBuds1987]

ok well had to do that to my 2 oldest plants for a month so its just um just put white printer paper ontop of the box and then tape some to tha sid of tha box thats behind tha plnts and some on the plants left and right so that they can get as much light as they can this will also stop some of the streching and tha bending towards tha window as the sun goes down

[GoodstuffYeah]

My plant inside get's all morning sun. and I have no box around my plant it's just behind my curtain

[StickyBuds1987]

My plant inside get's all morning sun. and I have no box around my plant it's just behind my curtain

well get something they can set on and do tha paper thing im telling you it will be brighter i mean is the window a good window no one is gonna drive up and see them sitting in tha window or anything if so then just get a box table anything that is as tall as ya window sill or w.e it can be a lil shorter if you dont want them to be seen

[GoodstuffYeah]

I only have time to post this picture I post more later, when I get back home this weekend.
It's 3 weeks old looking pretty good
[attachment=o244355]

[GoodstuffYeah]

Well I found some more time
This is my plant inside I put more dirt in the cup so the stem isn't so long and fragile.
[attachment=o244356]

[attachment=o244357]

[GoodstuffYeah]

This is my funky looking plant that's growing all weird.

[attachment=o244358]

[StickyBuds1987]

looks good man how is that bottle thing working for ya plants outdoors maybe you should leave one without one see if it grows diff than the others withe tha bottles over them

[GoodstuffYeah]

It's working really well I might try and do that with my goofy looking plant and see if it starts catching upto the other one lol

[zekeyboy]

Well yeah I just planted these straight in the ground cuz I couldn't grow them anywhere inside, But ended up just putting one of my later seeds in my window but the stem is I think really long. Could it be stretching for the light?

[attachment=o244002]

[attachment=o244003]Need to fill those cups with soil.

[ultimatefreak48]

When i start my plants as seedlings I like to fill my cup to just under the brim.... much more soil for the roots to start training and it also bring the plants closer to the light, which usually helps avoid stretching. just fyi

[LetsSeeYa]

Well I found some more time
This is my plant inside I put more dirt in the cup so the stem isn't so long and fragile.

You might try putting it outside someplace in the cup to let the wind straighten the stem before putting it into the ground. Just put it out a few hours a day, it wont hurt it and thats what im doing now. Helps with all that fresh air it will get too.

Good luck man:rasta:

[GoodstuffYeah]

Okay yeah thanks I'll get it outside somedays this week but I went to check on my plants today and the goofy plant hasn't grown hardly at all in the last four or five days but I guess we'll see what happens.
Since I put more dirt in the cup it seems like it's been growing alot faster and is looking really healthy.

[StickyBuds1987]

They may be growing roots right now that could be why you have not seen much plant growth but soon as thats over the plants will start to shoot up. You said that the ones outside are 3 weeks old well then they are old enough for you to try giving one some nutes and see if it helps. Id try it only on one so you don't risk losing all ya lil girls.

How often do ya water?.. since your outdoors, you prob will only have to water every 7 days or every 2 weeks depending on what region you live in and how often ya get rain. But during summer if it gets really hot&dry with hardly any rain you will have to water a lot more maybe even twice a week. But be careful not to over water them or water to often you want your roots to grow deep down searching for water so you have a bigger root system which later on will pay off with a bigger and better yield.

First time users guide to using veg/flower nutes.

1) Add only 1/4 of the recommended amount of veg nutes per gallon of water the first time you use the nutes. If there are no signs of over feeding repeat this at least 2 times before upping the amount of nutes. This allows your plants time to adjust to the nutes without over feeding and stressing your plant to death. Only feed them every other time you water and make sure to keep an eye out for signs of over feeding/nute burn.

2) OK if things are looking good, which they should be with no signs of over feeding your plants should be at least double there size than they are now. So when it comes time to feed them up the dose of nutes to 1/2 strength and repeat just like in step one.

3) Now if things are still going good and they are still not showing any signs of nute burn then you have 2 choices. You can play it safe and up the dose to 3/4 strength and repeat as you did before or you can just give it a full strength dose of nutes. I am sure if you get this far you will be feeding all of them by now, so you might only want to give one of them a full dose and see how it does. Before feeding them all at full strength if all goes well with the one plant at full strength then you can feed the others at full strength come the next feeding.

Flower Nutes.

1) After getting yourself some flower nutes and your sure your plants are female soon as they start to flower cut the veg nutes out and just add 1/4 the recommended dose of flower nutes. Just to kinda get them used to it and to make sure you don't over feed or stress them at all.

Because you can get away with stressing them in veg some but in flower its something you dont want to do. (Or maybe a week or 2 before they start to flower if you are able to tell you can use 1/4 the recommended dose of flower nutes mixed in with 3/4 strength veg nutes or 1/2 strength veg nutes just to kinda give them a lil push from veg to flower.)

2) Well now after the first feeding of just flower nutes at 1/4 the recommended dose or if ya did the veg/flower mix of nutes the last time ya fed your plants. Does not matter but for the next feeding use 1/2 of the recommended dose of flower nutes this time. Do not use any veg nutes just strait flower nutes from now own or only the other nutes that your supposed use with your flower nutes or during flower this all depends on what brand of nutes ya are using.

3) Now repeat the same thing as step 2 if they are looking good with no signs of over feeding but up the dose again to 3/4 the recommended dose plus the other nutes that go with it or are used during flower also depending on the brand you can get a feeding chart that tells you to add which nutes and when.

4) OK now if you really wanna play it safe and not take the risk of over feeding then you can repeat each dose at least once. Or you can just repeat step three once id just repeat step 3 once myself just to be safe but only once.

IMO you do not want to take as long getting your plants used to the flower nutes as you do in veg. Plus they will already be used to the veg nutes so they are less likely to get nute burn then they were before having been fed any nutes.

I am in no way an expert but this is the way i do it if anything is wrong please correct me people.:jointsmile::jointsmile:

[GoodstuffYeah]

Am I gonna need to top my biggest one soon?
And the stem is really weak on my one inside and it's like almost falling over even though I packed dirt around the stem.

[LetsSeeYa]

Am I gonna need to top my biggest one soon?
And the stem is really weak on my one inside and it's like almost falling over even though I packed dirt around the stem.

Thats why i told you to put it outside, the wind will strengthen the stem. Fill the cup up and mound it around the stem, or it will just fold over and die. The stem gets so long then drys out someplace and thats it. The fan or wind will build it up for outdoor living. Even growing inside ya need a fan to build up the stem to support the plant.

Top at 3rd or 4th node.

:rasta:

[GoodstuffYeah]

Okay I'm going to be moving it outside pretty quick because my fucking mom found it. I can't go outside and get updates of my older plants cuz it's raining like a motha fucker so I'll try and get some tomorrow.Heres my inside plant it is Almost two weeks old.

[GoodstuffYeah]

And for anyone whose wondering I live basically in the center of Michigan so we get pretty steady rain through spring but it's coming late this year. And the two nights ago we got a really hard frost and haven't been able to check up on them yet since.

[StickyBuds1987]

you still need more soil in those cups and id put a fan on them like letsseeya said

[GoodstuffYeah]

It's too late it broke when I put it in the wind for like an hour oh well I still have my plants outside. Hopefully all this rain will give them lots of new growth :thumbsup:

[GoodstuffYeah]

Were getting a huge storm tomorrow i hope my plants can handle the strong winds. Wish for the best!:smokin:

[GoodstuffYeah]

Hey guys i'm back and i'm down to only one plant now but it is getting destroyed by the bugs and the fan leaves have a bunch of holes in them....what's the best way to get rid of them?

[GoodstuffYeah]

You can't really see it in this pic cuz it's a couple days old.

[attachment=o246720]

[StickyBuds1987]

soapy water will do it but you will have to put it on either really early before the sun is out or before dark cuz the water will cause the sun to burn ya plant and you will have to re apply it after it rains

[GoodstuffYeah]

So it's just a temporary shield basically? or should I just do it once and see if the bugs stay away. And are spiders bad? I just removed a spider web this morning cuz I didn't know whether to leave it or not

[GoodstuffYeah]

And how much soap?

[StickyBuds1987]

enough to make it soapy

[LetsSeeYa]

So it's just a temporary shield basically? or should I just do it once and see if the bugs stay away. And are spiders bad? I just removed a spider web this morning cuz I didn't know whether to leave it or not

Leave every spider web ya find as it will help with the bugs. And a couple squirts of that liquid soap in a gallon jug will work for the bugs, you need to re apply after it rains tho as it washes it off. But after it gets bigger, the bugs are not as bad. The holes could also be from dew on the leaves, then the sun uses the dew drops like a magnifying glass to burn holes in the leaves. This is why you need to put the soapy water on after sun set or really close to it:jointsmile:
I hope this helps.:)


:rasta:

[GoodstuffYeah]

Yeah thanks brah. I went to put it on my plant the other day and it was raining so I couldn't lol. But it won't hurt the plant if it is just the dew burning a hole?

[GoodstuffYeah]

I went to my plant and one of the leaves was chewed off....
Will the bugs leave it alone once it gets bigger?
I'm gonna get pictures up today.

[GoodstuffYeah]

Just went and got pictures the first one is 8 weeks old
Second one is 6 weeks old
[attachment=o247469]

[attachment=o247470]

[StickyBuds1987]

Hey man they look good and yeah once they get bigger the bugs will lay off of them. Growing outdoors your always gonna have a few bug probs no matter what ya do.

Oh you might wanna try giving those babies some nutes they look like they would love it just start out with 1/4 the recommended dose and see how they do.

[GoodstuffYeah]

Alright I'll try and do that.
Is that 2nd picture at 6 weeks old looking smallish?

[LetsSeeYa]

Alright I'll try and do that.
Is that 2nd picture at 6 weeks old looking smallish?

I have a few that age and there about the same size. You might want to clear all the growth around your plant out. The bugs are bad and snails worse this year for me. But the less growth around them the better the plant will use the nutes/ferts and not the weeds. Also, if your getting rain a lot, use the ferts every time it rains as the ferts will be washed down into your roots, just where ya want them. Then if it rains again, give more ferts. Its rained so much that i haven't gave just plain water all year. But, its raining a lot, so after every rain, i shoot the ferts and my plants are growing great. Check out my thread its in here, or my Sig.

Good luck bro:rasta:

[GoodstuffYeah]

Yeah on my bigger plant I noticed three little ?Treehoppers? so I pulled them off.
I'll try and go back to my little one tomorrow to clear it out a little so it can hopefully grow big and strong.
When you give nutes to a plant will the effects be obvious like right away or is it an over time sorta thing?

those bugs reali are a pain man, they ruin all ur hard efforts overnight sumtimes:(

[GoodstuffYeah]

Went and cleared out the brush around this little guy just now and got a couple pictures. Theres about a one foot radius around this plant is that enough room or should there be more? Sorry terrible pictures only had my phone at the time.
And probably going out tomorrow to get pictures of my bigger plant.

the part of the leaf thats still there will stay green or either it will die

[GoodstuffYeah]

On the box of the MG nutes it said to mix 1/4 teaspoon for a gallon of water.....is that really all it takes?

[LetsSeeYa]

On the box of the MG nutes it said to mix 1/4 teaspoon for a gallon of water.....is that really all it takes?

It should say on the box, the N-P-K, like im using 15-20-15. But yeah id give what it says. Then give water. If the ferts looked like they made the plant happy, green, healthy and all give more. Just watch your plants grow man, its important to see what they do and how it happens, which by reading in here will give you that. Keep your area clear and keep giving the ferts, with water in between. If it rains give ferts. Just keep pushing the plant and if it gets burnt a bit, just back off for a bit. It will recover so add the ferts as much as ya can, but plan water in between in less it rains, if so more ferts.

Keep the pics coming, doesnt matter if its from your phone. This way we can trouble shoot for ya. Looking great so far:thumbsup:


:rasta:

[StickyBuds1987]

On the box of the MG nutes it said to mix 1/4 teaspoon for a gallon of water.....is that really all it takes?

Does the box of mg nutes include that lil green spoon thingy??.. Well all i did was fill the big end of the spoon only 1/4th full for my first feeding with it then when it came time feed again and i had not seen any nute burn i just repeated what i did the first time. And the feeding after that i bumped it up to 1/2 strength then if there is no nute burn i feed at 1/2 strength once moren Now finally the next feeding i was filling the big end of the spoon up full and thats what i feed them now. Just make sure to water with just plain water between feedings.

and do what LSY says about adding the nutes when it rains i do that to :jointsmile::jointsmile::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[GoodstuffYeah]

Cool thanks guys it's much appreciated :jointsmile:


What is it that makes giving nutes after it rains so much better?

[StickyBuds1987]

Cool thanks guys it's much appreciated :jointsmile:


What is it that makes giving nutes after it rains so much better?

well its not just after its really like right before it rains or like if it has been raining and it stops for a lil while but its supposed to rain again that afternoon or night you can give it a strong feeding of nutes and when it rains it will not be so strong and the plant will shoot up

[GoodstuffYeah]

Well we got a HUGE storm last night with pelting rain, but my beauty is looking greener than ever!:thumbsup::jointsmile:
I'll get some pictures tomorrow
It's also starting to grow little like strand things next to the nodes and inside the nodes....Good or Bad?:weedpoke:

Hey I'm new to this forum, and I'm new to growing. This is my first attempt at growing cannabis, and I had originally believed that it was a simple process (it's a weed, right?) that would pretty much guide itself. I'm now discovering that may not be the case though...

I am doing an outdoor grow, though I have the plants in containers of potting soil (miracle grow with extended nutrient release, supposedly really good for flowering plants). I have four plants, all about five weeks old. They have four tiers of branches each. They are each a little over a foot tall. I have not added any additional nutrients/fertilizers.

I have several questions, as my instinct tells me that it's approaching time to do SOMETHING, though it's escaping me what that could be. Should I top them or prune them? Should I begin adding nutrients? I've noticed some reddening on the stems, and the leaves on the bottom branches are a bit yellow, and the tips of those leaves are brown. However, the new growth looks very healthy.

By the way, I don't know the strains. They are quality seeds, as I smoked the buds they came from.

Searching the grow FAQs is proving to be...difficult. If anyone could give me just some basic pointers or let me know if I'm on the right track that would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys

well man its hard to say just kinda go with it wait and see how tall are they now

[GoodstuffYeahs]

The bigger of the two is probably i'm gonna guess 3 feet, But i noticed today that the nodes are starting to get closer together....does that mean the upward growth is slowing down?

[StickyBuds1987]

[attachment=o249745]

[StickyBuds1987]

well i dont really see any white lil hairs i do see the inter nodes are growing in that means its close to being sexually mature and it will show sex soon but since its outside its kinda hard to tell how old are thye like 6 to 8 weeks old

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Tomorrow it's 12 weeks....the pictures aren't the best but if you look really closely it looks like little white hairs. but oh well i guess i'll find out

[StickyBuds1987]

well man just give it time if they are showing then in a couple of days they should really be showing you will know for sure

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Thanks i just need to sit back and watch it grow.:thumbsup:
But i did notice that it has a very mild but pleasing smell already it's awesome.

[StickyBuds1987]

do they got that like fresh plant/skunky smell

[GoodstuffYeahs]

It's not really skunky just weedy kinda smell that you don't want to stop smelling lol

[GoodstuffYeahs]

And i was wondering...is it to late to top my plant? I don't know for sure if i want to but i would like to know the pros and cons in full before making a desicion. so any help would be awesome

[StickyBuds1987]

yeah umm well you prob can top/fimm the smaller one and just grow the bigger one out natural

[GoodstuffYeahs]

I went and checked on my bigger one and i found it layed over on the dirt...it must of blown over from that nights storm. I picked it back up and put a stake up for support. It has a slight bend in the stem because of growing up after it fell down

[StickyBuds1987]

it will straiten back out soon man

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Idk we'll see cuz it has like an "s" curve in the stem and it's past that growing point. I just hope it recovers fully and continues maturing.

[GoodstuffYeahs]

I'm noticing more and more that the bottom few sets are starting to get really droopy and a little yellow but the higher newer leaves are green and healthy is that something i can change or is that just how it is. It has already dropped three sets of leaves counting the very first ones they get.

[StickyBuds1987]

well the plants will lose most of the older leaves at the very bottom of a plant so it can focus on the new growth and stuff

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Will bud still grow at these points where the leaves fell off?

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Went and checked on my bigger one just now and it's got alot more growth in the nodes, is that normal before sexing? sorry the close up is blurry but it's what i got.
If anyone has a name i should call this one please chime in i'm getting sick of calling it my bigger one.....lol
[attachment=o250312]

[attachment=o250313]

[attachment=o250314]

[StickyBuds1987]

they will branch out alot more once the internodes stat to grow out and fill in

[GoodstuffYeahs]

And if you look closely it looks as though theres multiple sets of fan leaves growning out of the nodes.

[GoodstuffYeahs]

my smaller plant is being light starved so in a little bit when it cools off a little bit i'm gonna go back there with a saw and do some cutting of trees to help my little guy out i'll show some before and after pics of the above canopy. By starved of light i mean it gets no direct sunlight all day cuz so many leaves grew in that i didn't expect so it's pretty scrawny.

[StickyBuds1987]

yeah man thats what my issue is but i cant cut the branches and stuff to high up to big of a tree haha oh well will take this in to account next year will not make the same mistake twice

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Yeah this one is surrounded by little trees big enough to cut down with a hack saw but i'm only gonna be able to make holes for sunlight

[GoodstuffYeahs]

I went and checked on HER and i can see the little white whispy things!!!!
:D:D:D:thumbsup::thumbsup::jointsmile::cool::pimp: :smokin::rastasmoke:
HOORAY!!!!

well thats good man congrats glad ya got a female

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Thanks bro. sorry to hear about your bud rot...that's shitty on the highest level

[StickyBuds1987]

Thanks bro. sorry to hear about your bud rot...that's shitty on the highest level

lol yeah man we just got alot of rain today so im hoping it stops after today just another 3 or 4 weeks is all superhands likes

[GoodstuffYeahs]

I also noticed that my female just grew her first 7 leaved fan, all the rest are just 5. So that's pretty cool :thumbsup:
I decided to stay out of the area my smaller one is growing for a while to let the brush grow back i don't want it to be obvious that someone is going back there all the time.

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Well i checked on my little GUY and it had a bunch of i think pollen sacks all over but i'm not really worried about it cuz it's so far away from my female that i'll prolly just let it grow.

[GoodstuffYeahs]

At the end of this week i'm leaving till the end of this month....it's really hot here right now and were getting slim to no rain so what would be a good way to solve this....i have nobody trustworthy to water it for me

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Went and got some pictures this morning of her and she's up to my waist now and she's starting to bush out on the top but it looks funny cuz it's nothing but stem on the bottom 2/3 of the plant lol
[attachment=o252808]

[attachment=o252809]

[attachment=o252810]

idk if i'll get much off her but it'll be worth the experience :thumbsup:

[nugssgalore]

One way to water very slowly while you are gone is to get a couple of empty plastic gallon milk cartons, punch a small hole in the bottom for a "drip" and fill with water, set them down close to where you think the roots are.

[nugssgalore]

oh wait, did you say you would be gone for 2 weeks?? Yikes, my idea might not work for that long..if I were you I would definitely flood the ground really good before you leave, might take it a week to dry out and then she might have sent down enough roots to be good for another week. Good luck.

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Yeah i know it kinda sucks and that's what i was just thinking of about the milk jugs maybe i'll do both lol. but thanks for the input......i hope she doesn't start making a bunch of buds while i'm gone...

[GoodstuffYeahs]

this picture is really blurry but you can see all the balls on this dinky little plant
[attachment=o253048]

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Alright i made it back from my trip and she's doing awesome buds are starting to form all over. theres not much to her but i'm having a blast watching her get big....:D:D:thumbsup:
[attachment=o254459]

[attachment=o254460]

[attachment=o254461]

[GoodstuffYeahs]

I put the gallon of water on her with little itny holes poked in it but forgot to take the top off so it just created a bunch of suction and stop about halfway lol but it ended up raining really hard twice in that time so it was perfect.

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Sorry about the pictures all i had was my phone at the time...any input is much appreciated.

[nugssgalore]

Looks good GoodStuff...glad that she survived while you were gone.

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Yeah i was really worried for a while but when i watched the weather and saw a huge storm going over it gave me a little more hope.... she is almost 21 weeks old...anyone have any idea how much longer...i know the longer the better but approx.?

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Alright my girl has been flowering for about three or four weeks now and it's raining alot is that bad?

[GoodstuffYeahs]

And i just found out it's supposed to rain for the next three days

[GoodstuffYeahs]

my plant is about a month into flowering and the last two nights it's frosted... she's still alive and growing but i think she's got quite a ways to go before being ready to harvest...is the frost gonna be an issue

[nugssgalore]

yes. cover her with plastic garbage bags or something.

[GoodstuffYeahs]

well the thing is if i put it on her idk if i'll be able to get to her in the morning to take it off

[GoodstuffYeahs]

The last week our temps raised back up to almost 70 everyday with not a cloud in site...almost like it's summer again....i really haven't noticed any growth lately is she still growing or what?

[GoodstuffYeahs]

just went and snapped a couple photos of her...trichomes are all over
[attachment=o257543]

[attachment=o257544]

[attachment=o257545]

[attachment=o257546]

[attachment=o257547]

[GoodstuffYeahs]

she is some where around 8 weeks into flowering...what's and average flowering time?
And i also noticed that all the leaves are turning purple and it looks awesome...is that from the cold weather

[GoodstuffYeahs]

I have no way of getting a microscope to see the trichomes so what should i do? there's not enough on her to just sample until she's ready i wouldn't have any when she is finally ready....what do you guys think i should do?

[GoodstuffYeahs]

So guys i really need some kind of advice idk when to chop and i can't tell when the trichomes are milky or whatever. she's at 9 weeks

[deserthealer]

Can you take another picture? How cold is it getting at night where you are? It won't be much longer now ... :thumbsup:

[GoodstuffYeahs]

I can get a picture in a little bit but it's been frosting the last few nights and getting up to 60 in the day

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Alright
[attachment=o257878][attachment=o257879]
you can see the discoloring on the leaves from the frost
[attachment=o257880][attachment=o257881]
these are some a the underbuds the first one is the very lowest bud
[attachment=o257882]

[deserthealer]

Hold out another week or two if you can, but if a hard freeze is expected, take her. You'll be glad you waited, though, if you do.

She's a cute little thing. :thumbsup:

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Why thank you..:)
it's raining like all day today so i hope it's really sunny out tomorrow and I might cut her top off..cuz it's freezing harder every night....just checked the weather and tomorrow and friday are the only sunny days and then rain for a week straight she's coming out either tomorrow or friday

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Well i cut her down and i didn't get hardly anything off her but it was fun

[GoodstuffYeahs]

Well the drying is done and all but curing? is it as simple as everyone says just put it in a jar and open it once a day for two weeks or something?
