I didn't realize it was under the sun. Then you can forget what I wrote. Nothing further away than the sun, eh? You can switch to indoors, but what lighting are you going to use? I'd say get a sodium light. It will continue to grow during flowering, so you might let it get about two and half feet tall or so and put the light on a 12 hours on, 12 hours off cycle, to get it to bud and flower. Hope it's a female.

How's it looking these days? If it's in a small container, you might want to transplant to a considerably bigger one. Large rubbermaid tubs work good.

I am not sure what this all mean but i can sure hell tell you that the dyna grow is the SHIT!!!!!!!!!!
I also see a few small little baby plants growing but i don't know where they are coming from, I was thinking the wind may have brought some seeds from some where and ended here.
I can`t seem to upload pics i will try again...
sorry fellas for some reason i can`t get the pics to post up on the forum

The little plants are from little seeds blown there by the wind or already in the soil when you planted. It's a female, which is great cuz now you can consume her. If it were male you'd be out of luck. I think those bumps mean it's going to frost right up like a white widow. Some plants develop a coating of white frosty stuff on the leaves as the plant matures. Just give it about 12 hours light a day and it'll finish just fine. The Dynagrow works great in both soil and hydro because it has all the micronutes plants need. You just can't let it sit for a year and expect it to remain good. That's the only drawback. Funny how people spend alot on ferts and the wonder what went wrong. Plants only need so much and after that you're killing them with chemicals. One thing to remember is to just give water, no ferts, in the last week or two of life. Let it go for a while and maybe give one more dose of fert when you water, but if you continue to fert all the way to the end, you'll get that in the buds which go in you and that's no good. This will be several weeks away from now though, like maybe a month. When you harvest depends on when the plant is ready and also when you're ready. Pretty amazing how one half teaspoon can make that kind of difference, huh? There another way to grow that's more natural if you want to try it which is you get a box of Foxfarm Fruit and Flower powder fert at the hydro shop and put in one half to a full cup of fert per gallon of potting soil in a large container (so you don't have to transplant later). Then all you have to do is water when the soil is dry. This fert comes with all the bacteria and fungi plants need to thrive. The bacteria and fungi break down the fert into molecules the plants can absorb. This is necessary because potting soil is sterilized at the factory to avoid sending out soil that is contaminated and will kill plants. The bacteria and fungi in powdered ferts are plant-friendly. But you just gotta make sure you get the right powder ferts. They're not all the same. Foxfarm, Whitney Farms, and Dr. Earth are good brands that have the stuff plants need to give best results. Just water when dry and you're golden. You can walk into any hydro shop in this country and see all kinds of fert products, but I know somebody who operates his own store and he says that you don't need 95% of the things he sells. He confided this just to me, no one else. He said you grow with minimal stuff because a plant's genetics are the most important part of the plant. But he's become rich off of selling things to people who don't know what they're doing and they buy all kinds of stuff they don't need. If people were honest here, they would admit they've got various amounts of fertilizer sitting around they don't use. Why? Because using it just kills the plants. Then they come to a forum like this asking what the problem is. People spend way too much money at the grow shop. That's why all those products exist - manufacturers are trying to cash in on the stupidity.
thanks (polishpollack ) your help has been priceless....

Why the hell can`t i post pics on the forum other than links to photobucket???
Well, you've got some mushroom spores in the soil. I'm guessing either this potting soil isn't very fresh, as in, it was used for another plant, or you've picked up alot of small seeds and spores from putting the plant outside. You can remove the shrooms and little plants growing in the soil. Have you thought about trying to clone a branch or two? If it's flowering, there might be some trouble cloning but unless you plan on getting other seeds, cloning might be worth a shot.
Today it was about 90 and i guess the sun killed the shrooms They where all dried up and dead.Now that you said the soil must be going bad should i transplant the plant to new soil and do the powder ferts or should i just try cloning since the plant is already almost done..Quote:

The mushrooms aren't really a problem. Soil contains multitudes of complex organisms including bacteria and fungus that benefit the plants growing in it. Your soil is fine. ;)
As for cloning. This as a killer thread on a different forum. And is a technique that I'm using to keep my strains around without taking up too much space, there's good info on cloning in there too. It's pretty easy over all.
