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

well man its hard to say just kinda go with it wait and see how tall are they now

The bigger of the two is probably i'm gonna guess 3 feet, But i noticed today that the nodes are starting to get closer together....does that mean the upward growth is slowing down?

well i dont really see any white lil hairs i do see the inter nodes are growing in that means its close to being sexually mature and it will show sex soon but since its outside its kinda hard to tell how old are thye like 6 to 8 weeks old

Tomorrow it's 12 weeks....the pictures aren't the best but if you look really closely it looks like little white hairs. but oh well i guess i'll find out

well man just give it time if they are showing then in a couple of days they should really be showing you will know for sure

Thanks i just need to sit back and watch it grow.:thumbsup:
But i did notice that it has a very mild but pleasing smell already it's awesome.

do they got that like fresh plant/skunky smell

It's not really skunky just weedy kinda smell that you don't want to stop smelling lol

And i was wondering...is it to late to top my plant? I don't know for sure if i want to but i would like to know the pros and cons in full before making a desicion. so any help would be awesome

yeah umm well you prob can top/fimm the smaller one and just grow the bigger one out natural

I went and checked on my bigger one and i found it layed over on the dirt...it must of blown over from that nights storm. I picked it back up and put a stake up for support. It has a slight bend in the stem because of growing up after it fell down

it will straiten back out soon man

Idk we'll see cuz it has like an "s" curve in the stem and it's past that growing point. I just hope it recovers fully and continues maturing.

I'm noticing more and more that the bottom few sets are starting to get really droopy and a little yellow but the higher newer leaves are green and healthy is that something i can change or is that just how it is. It has already dropped three sets of leaves counting the very first ones they get.

well the plants will lose most of the older leaves at the very bottom of a plant so it can focus on the new growth and stuff

Will bud still grow at these points where the leaves fell off?

Went and checked on my bigger one just now and it's got alot more growth in the nodes, is that normal before sexing? sorry the close up is blurry but it's what i got.
If anyone has a name i should call this one please chime in i'm getting sick of calling it my bigger one.....lol

they will branch out alot more once the internodes stat to grow out and fill in

And if you look closely it looks as though theres multiple sets of fan leaves growning out of the nodes.

my smaller plant is being light starved so in a little bit when it cools off a little bit i'm gonna go back there with a saw and do some cutting of trees to help my little guy out i'll show some before and after pics of the above canopy. By starved of light i mean it gets no direct sunlight all day cuz so many leaves grew in that i didn't expect so it's pretty scrawny.
