And for anyone whose wondering I live basically in the center of Michigan so we get pretty steady rain through spring but it's coming late this year. And the two nights ago we got a really hard frost and haven't been able to check up on them yet since.
you still need more soil in those cups and id put a fan on them like letsseeya said
It's too late it broke when I put it in the wind for like an hour oh well I still have my plants outside. Hopefully all this rain will give them lots of new growth :thumbsup:
Were getting a huge storm tomorrow i hope my plants can handle the strong winds. Wish for the best!:smokin:
Hey guys i'm back and i'm down to only one plant now but it is getting destroyed by the bugs and the fan leaves have a bunch of holes in them....what's the best way to get rid of them?
You can't really see it in this pic cuz it's a couple days old.

soapy water will do it but you will have to put it on either really early before the sun is out or before dark cuz the water will cause the sun to burn ya plant and you will have to re apply it after it rains
So it's just a temporary shield basically? or should I just do it once and see if the bugs stay away. And are spiders bad? I just removed a spider web this morning cuz I didn't know whether to leave it or not
And how much soap?
enough to make it soapy
Leave every spider web ya find as it will help with the bugs. And a couple squirts of that liquid soap in a gallon jug will work for the bugs, you need to re apply after it rains tho as it washes it off. But after it gets bigger, the bugs are not as bad. The holes could also be from dew on the leaves, then the sun uses the dew drops like a magnifying glass to burn holes in the leaves. This is why you need to put the soapy water on after sun set or really close to it:jointsmile:Quote:

Yeah thanks brah. I went to put it on my plant the other day and it was raining so I couldn't lol. But it won't hurt the plant if it is just the dew burning a hole?
I went to my plant and one of the leaves was chewed off....
Will the bugs leave it alone once it gets bigger?
I'm gonna get pictures up today.
Just went and got pictures the first one is 8 weeks old
Second one is 6 weeks old

Hey man they look good and yeah once they get bigger the bugs will lay off of them. Growing outdoors your always gonna have a few bug probs no matter what ya do.
Oh you might wanna try giving those babies some nutes they look like they would love it just start out with 1/4 the recommended dose and see how they do.
Alright I'll try and do that.
Is that 2nd picture at 6 weeks old looking smallish?
I have a few that age and there about the same size. You might want to clear all the growth around your plant out. The bugs are bad and snails worse this year for me. But the less growth around them the better the plant will use the nutes/ferts and not the weeds. Also, if your getting rain a lot, use the ferts every time it rains as the ferts will be washed down into your roots, just where ya want them. Then if it rains again, give more ferts. Its rained so much that i haven't gave just plain water all year. But, its raining a lot, so after every rain, i shoot the ferts and my plants are growing great. Check out my thread its in here, or my Sig.Quote:

Yeah on my bigger plant I noticed three little ?Treehoppers? so I pulled them off.
I'll try and go back to my little one tomorrow to clear it out a little so it can hopefully grow big and strong.
When you give nutes to a plant will the effects be obvious like right away or is it an over time sorta thing?
those bugs reali are a pain man, they ruin all ur hard efforts overnight sumtimes:(Quote:

What happens at a spot where the leaf is removed like half way up it's stem? does the leaf just grow back?
the part of the leaf thats still there will stay green or either it will dieQuote:

hey man looking good keep it up you can give tha bigger one some nutes now and just watch them grow just be careful not to over nute :thumbsup::thumbsup::jointsmile:
Alright cool thanks I'll try and get on that today.:pimp:
On the box of the MG nutes it said to mix 1/4 teaspoon for a gallon of water.....is that really all it takes?
It should say on the box, the N-P-K, like im using 15-20-15. But yeah id give what it says. Then give water. If the ferts looked like they made the plant happy, green, healthy and all give more. Just watch your plants grow man, its important to see what they do and how it happens, which by reading in here will give you that. Keep your area clear and keep giving the ferts, with water in between. If it rains give ferts. Just keep pushing the plant and if it gets burnt a bit, just back off for a bit. It will recover so add the ferts as much as ya can, but plan water in between in less it rains, if so more ferts.Quote:

Does the box of mg nutes include that lil green spoon thingy??.. Well all i did was fill the big end of the spoon only 1/4th full for my first feeding with it then when it came time feed again and i had not seen any nute burn i just repeated what i did the first time. And the feeding after that i bumped it up to 1/2 strength then if there is no nute burn i feed at 1/2 strength once moren Now finally the next feeding i was filling the big end of the spoon up full and thats what i feed them now. Just make sure to water with just plain water between feedings.Quote:

Cool thanks guys it's much appreciated :jointsmile:
What is it that makes giving nutes after it rains so much better?
well its not just after its really like right before it rains or like if it has been raining and it stops for a lil while but its supposed to rain again that afternoon or night you can give it a strong feeding of nutes and when it rains it will not be so strong and the plant will shoot upQuote:

I am doing an outdoor grow, though I have the plants in containers of potting soil (miracle grow with extended nutrient release, supposedly really good for flowering plants). I have four plants, all about five weeks old. They have four tiers of branches each. They are each a little over a foot tall. I have not added any additional nutrients/fertilizers.
I have several questions, as my instinct tells me that it's approaching time to do SOMETHING, though it's escaping me what that could be. Should I top them or prune them? Should I begin adding nutrients? I've noticed some reddening on the stems, and the leaves on the bottom branches are a bit yellow, and the tips of those leaves are brown. However, the new growth looks very healthy.
By the way, I don't know the strains. They are quality seeds, as I smoked the buds they came from.
Searching the grow FAQs is proving to be...difficult. If anyone could give me just some basic pointers or let me know if I'm on the right track that would be much appreciated.
Thanks guys
