I picked these up 5 days ago - they are Hindu Skunk and Blue Dream clones. I transplanted them into fresh potting mix, and plan to put them into the ground in about a week or so. The ground soil has been tilled and amended with steer manure and bat guano and is in great shape. Till then, I'm wondering is there's anything I can do to get these babies more healthy. Right now they are getting plenty of sunlight and water, but really don;t look so good. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

They don't look too terrible in my opinion. clones can look shitty for awhile till they get adjusted to their new environment. Give it about a week for them to start showing new growth. What kind of light do you have them under now?

Just an FYI, if you were planning on growing these outdoors, they should have been out over a month ago. Not that you still cant do it, but you may not be happy with the results....most outdoor growers get them out end of april/early may at the latest....

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I started this garden late, but might as well move FW with it even though my yield won't be as good. The current light situation is about 50/50 direct/indirect. Once they go in the ground, they'll be getting about 80% direct.

My girls took a turn for the worst and someone on here told me about superthrive it stinks really bad but it works, its like steroides for plants.

I'd suggest maybe putting the plants under a light source for either 24/7 or 18/6 for a few weeks to get them strong. They are pretty small and at 50/50 they may try to start flowering....which is clearly not a good thing!

Also, another suggestion. Putting them in the ground is fine and you may be good with that. But I always think it's better to keep them in pots. That way you can move them if you need to. And you can better regulate the soil and what you are putting into the plant. :jointsmile:

Hey man i was wondering how long you have to grow them out? Im still looking at around 5 moths to grow so if i had your clones id re pot many times to build a good root system, then put them into the ground. Yeah i like growing in pots, but if they are not 15 gal then your sure not to get a monster plant. But if you can keep em close and in the bigger pots, ya could get a better plant, only because of the wild issues:wtf:animals and bugs are the issues. But the bigger and healthy they are, put into the ground will give ya mad yield:thumbsup:

Keep er green bro:weedpoke:

How big a pot would I need so they can achieve max height?
