Just wanted to say Hi and wondering if anyone would comment on how my plant is doing, got given it by a friend when it was just planted it's only the first plant i've tried growing and its about 2 months now, been giving it miracle gro every 2 weeks and watering nearly every day. Not exactly sure how its doing but there are quite a few buds. do i need to wait to pick them . any advice? ;)
won't anyone comment pls?
sorry the pics aren't too clear
Hi flowergirl!
Looks like a strong Indica plant! Perhaps, I suggest you to give it Miracle Grow once a week instead from what it looks like. (i mean maturity, not the overall health because this plant looks wicked!)
Otherwise, everything should be fine you said its around 2 months old so im guessing you let it go for another month and its done... Just check for the pistils on the buds(white hairs) until half them turn orange or brown and after cut it and let it dry upside down (ex: tied on the ceiling)
Hope this helps a bit :)
Happy Growing! :D
Hi wow thats really good news cuz i was really worried .. altough it is starting to smell great. I'm worried about it getting abit too big after a while cuz its on the balcony.. would it still stay healthy if i put it under a window inside? thx!
"Just check for the pistils on the buds(white hairs) until half them turn orange or brown"
Actually to see if a plant is ready to be harvested you look at the trichomes which are the little "golf balls on a tee" that will eventually cover the pistils (white hairs) and the leaves coming out of the flowers. You have to look at them with about a 30X scope and when you see that the little 'golf ball' is cloudy to a little bit amber colored hack it down, dry, cure and enjoy.

thx
Hi again!
Well, you can do it as long as the sun reach your plant for 12 hours a day and make sure the room its in doesn't get too hot, it could cause the plant to wilt from overheat (sun through the windows are always hotter). Being 2 months old, this plant will maybe stretch a bit more or probably not at all since it looks like in late flowering.. All you have to do is feed once a week and watch the buds getting bigger and frosty till the white hairs turns half orange or brown hehe ;)
If you put that plant inside next to a window it'll probably almost quit growing as the amount of light it needs right now is critical at this most important time in it's life.
Also it shouldn't be growing that much more in height right now as in flowering at the point this plant looks to be, vertical growth is probably about maxed out. The most growth you'll see is in the flowers (buds) filling out and getting more dense.
I'm also worried about the sunshine it gets because its very hot sun where i live.. it starts to droop when the sun gets very hot at around 12 noon and then i always put it in the shade.. i think it spends about 6 hours in the sun in total..
