really dry dirt and leaving for a month

wow just 4 weeks and water.. thats incredible. Just goes to show you what direct sunlight can do for a plant. If I my area wasn't so damn unsafe Id plant a few in an open field just like that

hers an update pic. not much goin on wit her. 6 inches since i got here. no nutes. just water. and lots of sun. giddam lots of sun. 94 degrees with a heat index of 101.

its really amazing how when i started her in the paper towels it sparked this huge interest in horticulture. i look at her now and its a raging inferno! this site has more information than i know because im always clicking on threads and learning more.

im gonna stick to doin outdoors for sure, cuz all that lighting mumbo jumbo just aggravates me.

thanks guys for all the info!!! (but man i hate unfinished grow logs!)

stomper my man, im just too damn scared to cut her to be honest!

because from what ive read people always realate it to "keeping it low". ive got plenty of space and privacy and sun hours are at a maximum. should i want to fim it even if height isnt an issue? where does letting it grow naturally benefit? even when it comes to LST...does it benefit in any way to NOT do LST? i understand these are questions that i could eventually find out myself but i may as well use this internet machine for good :D

Well Foot thats just one plant, but thats what im saying, it gives you more tops. In that pic iv already harvested the tops as they were giant colas. But letting tour plant go is just fine, your going to have one cola and a bunch of buds as i got a bunch of cola type buds and then what you see on that plant. As far as LST outside, i wouldn't use it in less you just bend it over. LST is used more inside because of height reasons. But if your safe grow a x mass tree, im doing mine this way this year.


:rasta:

thanks letsseeya, you have reassured me that not doin anything in natural light will benefit in its own ways. i havent seen how first hand but im confident ill be satisfied.

.....it might be a male

Well get a few more seeds in, they might not be giant but im sure you will get buds. But what makes ya think its a male, have you seen balls?



:rasta:

heres a pic. :(

yea i got 3 seedling already started as well. 2 of which r interesting but odds of survival arent that great. none are more than an inch tall right now and im bouncin tuesday.

its always sad when one ends up male, especially if your only one is that one.

yea...i been so obsessed with it, now im just devastated to find out its a male....wheres jerry springer?

ive amended 3 more little spots in my yard and im goin to transplant my seedlings today...now im not sure if i want to chop the male down, id like to see how big it will get to have a better understanding of how well they actually can do on their own. but what if one of me seedlings is a female? beggers cannot be choosers. im no reaper :hippy:
