Well Glennon111,

Let me get this straight. You are placing the plant under your poarch to keep it small? Maybe I'm stone but I think that's what I read?

So your are doing this to force the plant into flowering? If this is the case stop doing it as of today. How many other plants do you see growing under the poarch? I wonder why one plant looked limp. Fuck if I had to live half my life under the poarch I would be limp too. Why don't you hang out with it a couple hours and evaluate the conditions under the poarch. Let us know what you found out and why no weeds or grass survive there.

So you have to keep it small? Look be a grower not a play grower. If you have to hide your activities then hide them in the woods or a brier patch. Not under the poarch.

You wanted advice? There it is. Male or female you need more time for that answer. But what do I know?

Loco

i put them under my poarch so they recive 12/12 light. im starting 12/12 now so it stays small. i dont leave them under my poarch all night. once it turns dark out i take them out from under my poarch so they dont die and actually become limp. im not a "play grower" i know what im doing. just goot to hear feed back on my babies. heres some pics of it under the sun today, not last night

its just gotta be dark really dark i used to flower under a refridgerator box it worked great but your real close to natural flower time anyway hold off a month and get a couple mor buds without having to move your plants all the time

Next time, it would really benefit you to keep the plants in individual containers. The roots are eventually going to be competing for space, if they aren't already, and will stifle the growth of one (or both) plants. Also, I'd get a lighter container to keep it in. Heavy ornamental pots are pretty, but they're generally a pain to use when you need to transplant and many don't drain very well... if at all.

Outside, you really want to keep the plant in a spot that receives ample sunlight throughout the day. Halogen or incandescent porch lights won't do much in terms of added growth.

Good luck. :jointsmile:

I dunno about everyone else but your growth seems odd the way its bending. I don't know, but I definitely see some wilting all over your plants. Should be easy to remedy because other then that the plants look healthy.

yeha i decided to stop moving them and jsut let it grow. and i know it looks like a heavy pot but its made from sty- ra- foam (i cant spell) and i took the other plant out of the pot last night. i just cut that bitch at the base so i didnt rip up any other roots with it (from my other plant)
