Hi, I started to grow some Jack the Ripper clones (about 4" height) on 4/20. 2 weeks after I pot them they started to flower. Now after a month, the plants are averaging just a foot but each branch got their own buds and resins starts to form. My question is, are my plants pretty much over the Veg state and I'm looking at some poor yield or will they keep growing under the SoCal outdoor sun as long as I re-pot them?
I grow them outside.
I use regular potting soil.
thats it buddy until and if it goes into reveg
Wow, so sad. Thanks for the answer.
Here's some pics of the 12" plant.
I'll look into reveg.
An update and another question.
Pretty much I let them grow freely outside, with occassional watering in the morning. Soon it developed some spider mites problem but I think the plants still lives. At this point, they are around 14" to 16", not much changed in heights, but the leaves and branches seems to bloom a bit.
My question is, I'm thinking about chopping them down and start a new batch of seeds (instead of clones). But it seems the plants still growing with new leaves, even thou the flowers already turned brown. Should I start to harvest them, leave the new grown leaves on the main stems, repot, and just them reveg?
....Umm okay, how about this question. Based on the first and last pic, can I still use the FIM technique?
If you're growing outdoors, you won't have much veg time left. I think the summer equinox is about 3 weeks away, which means after that the days will get shorter and your plant will start to flower. I would keep these going, I am sure they will be fine.
Also, you cannot FIM a plant in flower because you would be chopping off the main bud and it will induce a rather high level of stress to do that and you'll probably end up with a herm.
Summer solstice was June 21st.
We are already losing a minute or more of daylight each day.
Yeah thats what I meant, lol :stoned:Quote:

I've gone stupid and bought some bottles of the Miracle Grow plant food to help the flower bloom. I then dumped half a botte into my pots from the "rock wool" root area. Needless to say the next 2 days, they all welted and leaves turn from light green to soft yellow and brown.
Needless to say, I've killed my plants. I kept flushing the plants, drilled more holes on the side and bottom, and trim away the yellowish leaves, but they don't seems to react too well to the treatment.
Here is my question, can the sick leaves I've chopped but turned into some hash? Should I buy some rubbing alchohol and work on the leaves while they still moist or it's better for them to dried up?
Here is the current status of the plants. They're after the reveg state and now starting to produce some flowers. Any guess when it might finish flowering?
Also attached a pic of my current grow, Casey Jones, started from a clone on 6/18.
