My friend gave me a WW that received poor light behind a window, and poor nutritient and soil. It is 2 months old but barely 7'' and has no more than 10 leaves. it developed up to 5 blade leaves and the stem is just a little wider than a toothpick.
I placed her in a 10 gallon bucket with quality soil and organic nutes added. She receives now 10+ hours of direct sun light. First freeze is gonna be at November.
so is it worth the afford to grow this twig or not, what are my chances?
no help ??? bump
It's always worth it as long as you know it's a she. If it is a she go for it dude. I would let it get use to it's new home a little before you go and give it fertilizer, also you may want to dig a hole and put the bucket in it because being out side the roots may get to hot in the bucket and she will die. if you do this try to cut the bottom out of the bucket first so if she does take off you have room for root expansion, if you don't bury her make sure to drill some weep holes in the bottom of the bucket so water does not collect in the bottom and give you root rot. Good Luck brother and remember alittle is better than none!
thanx redeyed, there are holes at the bottom of the pot. My major concern is sizewise. I know it is a she ( she is a cutting from a mother plant) She looks so skinny now I wonder if she would ever fatten up? She had received very limited light coming thru a window, no care whatsoever. I had a succesful indoor grow last spring and I know how she is supposed to look like for a 2 monther. I also saw other cuttings from the very same mother but they have been receiving good care and they are 6' tall now, 2nd week in flowering. (from outside to inside to force flowering)
With an excellent care do you think she can catch up with her sisters sizewise? her sisters are in flowering now, but that little runt does not even have side branches, just a 7" twig with no more than 10 premature leaves.
i don't thinkshe'll get 7' but even if you get a z you still did'nt pay for it so what hell. good luck and take good care of your girl.
