and if you'were wondering where the sun leaves are there here
http://img36.photobucket.com/albums/...more_leafs.jpg
did I take to many off?
close to the top it was kinda a light green.. so i figured maybe they weren't getting enough light becuz of the sunleaves I don't know...

any help at all would be nice
thanks

also the plant is about a month and a half maybe 2 months old.. and I've yet to find a ball sack or the female part.. or am I just missing it?

Was your plant in full sunlight? The main stem looks nice and thick, but the plant itself is very spindley. I would not have removed any leaves from that plant it need light badly and even more so in the flowering light cycle! What type of soil is it in and what fertilizers are you using?

Hey Sawleaf. To be honest with ya it got an afternoon sun.. behind my house and there's trees.. so it got most of the afternoon sun then later on the sun would hide for the fact of rain clouds... it's been raining here every day nonstop for the past few months.. "evening showers" as we call it.. this is down south btw.. on the east coast

and i'm not to sure about the soil.. but I did mix bonemeal in with it
and i've been feeding it about once every week and a half with some "Expert Gardner Tamto plant food 18-18-21" I'm not to sure about the difference between the fertz or anything.. but I haven't noticed much of a change either in my plant.. by feeding it.. but then again im new.. so i gotta learn :P

AND I just went outside to check on my plant and I noticed bug.. some flys.. and I seen a tiny tiny web.. i'm using Melathion-oil spraying it on there everyday.. but it seems to not be working? I don't know.. it's weird..
And I appreciate your help Sawleaf :) maybe if it ever turns out right I'll send you some of the yield! lol

oh.. and i removed them leaves becuz some of the leaves under them were a light greenish yellow.. and I've heard if that's the case then them leaves aren't getting much light.. and I've also been told that sunleaves.. the ones with 5 points don't matter much anyways.. is this true?
okay ill stop taking up your time.. I'm just like a new father obsessing im doing something wrong.. hehe..
much love and happy tokes to ya

you saw a tiny tiny web?? becareful, it may be spider mites be careful not to put it around your other plants until you are sure cuz the mites are almost unstopable

Those trail looking things (on the funny_leaf.jpg) are called Leafminer. They aren't much to worry about, but hard as hell to get rid of. They usually don't cause much of a problem unless they are evident on 40% or more of your leaves. Leafminer is the larvae of a tiny fly.
I have also noticed that some of you pictures show a plant that has yellowing throughout the entire plant. This usually happens when your nitrogen levels are low or tied up. Try a fertilizer that has a first high number like (16-0-0) or other similar grass fertilizer and see if that helps.
On the pictures with dark green leaves, yet have some type of white spots... this may be a possible sign of leafhopper. You shouldn't need much concern with this, as it doesn't appear to be too much of a problem. The general leaf portions you have shown, seem to be 95-98% healthy... other than the nitrogen deficiency.
As for mites, from my experience, mites seem to cause crinkling of leaves and drooping leaves. This doesn't seem evident in the pictures you have linked.
Hope this helps,

Hey, Alright from what I gather, My plants doing okay! so I don't have to be so frantic about that.. *pause for the bong* okay sorry.. i gotta be at work in an hour and im dreading every minute... hehe..

alright so Maul I'm using a fert that's 18-18-21 is that not good?
and leafminer.. that's a funny word but that's good that you knew that and could help me out :) and im glad to know it's not deadly.. then again it would only be on one or two leafs.. and If i'd pick them.. it'd move to another few...

AND Leafhoppers.. I'm suspecting thats slang for grass hopper... and yeah.. I"ve seen a few around.. pisses me off.. that's okay though.. being me I just grab a pair of scissors and cut their heads off WHILE their enjoying my plant.. fuckin insects :)

but the biggest thing to my concern is my lighting :( I moved it from the sun into my garage under a cool white floro.. and it's kinda scary cuz my soil is still a little wet.. and it's been about a week since it got water!

I don't know.. this is all a new experience for me... been smoking for 8 years now and this is the first time I've ever accomplished getting a plant as tall as it is... before when i would try.. "still lived at home" mom would find them and flush them down the toilet.. lol.. but they were only 9-10 inches then.. so it's all good I guess I don't know...

but I've got to get ready for work and I appreciate all the help I'm getting.. means alot to me :)
and I'll keep you all updated!

"AAHHHHH CATCH THAT JOINT!! ITS RUNNING!!"

:( Well.. I got home from work today.. all happy.. excited.. went to look at my plant and what do you know.. some of the leaves are crispy and curled up.. but.. that's my fault.. I over done it with the Melathion-Oil.. :\ Bugs piss me off.. They ruin almost everything.. lol...

But I hope it'll be okay, i rinsed it off pretty good and tomorrow ill rinse it off again and let it set in the sun just a little... and as soon as I get a picture of it I'll post it up.. just to let you see the outcome of over using a product! hehe..

here are the pics... :\

it's kinda funny i fucked up but thats why im a newbie

and the stuff on their right now is water.. i was just rinsing it off hoping that i could at least save it..

WOW ,... that hurts

Ouch, pesticide burning can be deadly. I am pretty sure your plants should bounce back. Just remember, to prune the leaves that are 70% or more brown or shriveled up.
About the leafhopper. Hehe, it isn't grasshopper. There is an actual insect called leafhopper or fleahopper. I am currently on my 3rd year at my university as an agriculture major. Unless your insect problem is vast, there shouldn't be any need for pesicides. Considering the size of these plants, I wouldn't recommend spraying a pesticide like malathion or sevin unless you spot at least 30-50 insects.
Also, over fertilizing can hurt as well. Remember, that if your plant is yellowing all over, new and older leaves that u maybe having a nitrogen deficiency. 18-18-21 is an overal decent fertilizer, but just to green up your leaves try some grass fertilizer. I have seen some decent ones at K-mart that is pretty cheap.
Hope your plants come back,
