My Single Plant Outdoor Grow.(bagseed)

This plant had a really bad start in life but is now picking up well , just praying my 50/50 gamble goes the right way,

I started this plant back in late feb and all this growth is since a month ago so I defo wont start so early again,the first pic was taken on the 25th June and the last was taken on the 13th July

The preflowers are big but I'm still unable to tell the sex (my opinion changes by the minute) will the hair come out of the preflower or from behind it? , also the preflower wraps around like a cone and is pointy and looks white inside as it wraps, Is this any indication?.


I've only grew a plant before and that turned out male, more pics on the way but the camera on my N95 has no manual focus so preflowers may be fuzzy.

thanks laters.

Any old timers with bad eyesight should be used to sexing plants with that kind of focus , any ideas? (i know too early),

"Plant" as he's sorry she's (bad omen) affectionetly known is roughly 20 inches (thats a joke I know it to the millemetre) and is growing at a rate of 1-2 inches per day.

So whadaya think?

Looks good man, what size is that pot? Maybe transplant it into what you're going to want to end it in, 5 gal or so? Can't tell the sex but from personal experiance the hairs become extremely obvious on the ladies.

You say gallons I say litres, but I'd say its just over 3 gallons,

I was contemplating the ground but with the U.K. weather not the best later on in the year (now even) I think I will stick to the pot , would you advise me to repot or will the one I'm using be adequate ?.

Oooh, pretty pot. Is that Tuscan? I love clay pots, you just can't overwater with them! Here's something you could try... You could just plant a plastic pot or a large bucket with the bottom cut out, and then when you need to take it indoors once the weather gets bad, you just pull it out of the ground. You just have to be careful about the bottom when you do it. The root mass should keep it all together.

Thanks cpt for the advice I may try it out when she starts flowering but my plant looks so happy in this one I'm afraid to mess around with it too much now ,
nice pot yeah but I move it around to keep it in the sun and my back is aching , but once it flowers I'll stop moving it about.

Does anyone know what affect green fly or black fly have on cannabis plants?.

green/black fly will eat "plant"...kill them!!! nice 2 c another uk guerilla grower,i have 5 babies in a greenhouse,planted seeds 26/4 they are now 5-6ft!showing female on 4,no signs on other!!

2 of my 5 babies are in pots the same size as yours,doin fine!i think it'll be ok,i mean u dont want a blatant 8ft plant in your garden,do you?

8ft I wish lol,

wish I had a greenhouse , I built a mini greenhouse one day when I was stoned and ended up just banging bits of wood together , its now falling apart and my plant has quickly outgrown it.
I've got some old tent poles which I may turn into a poly tunnel next year when I buy proper outdoor seeds.

good to hear from a brit also busybee.

My plant is now 24 1/2 inches (just over 2 feet) and its all going well, no sign of sex yet and I'm thinking about force flowering this because I'm a bit worried about the flowering length but I'll probably sit it out and let it do it's own thing.

Found a small maggot looking thing in the top of my plant the other morning and got rid, I've noticed the new leaves are coming out a bit chewed up so I got the little blighter at the right time before it did any serious damage.

By the way I got this seed out of what I was told it was thai stick but I think whoever grew it seeded the batch by accident and just told people it was thai stick, it did have cotton wrapped around it though but was shit smoke. that is why I'm worried about the flowering period because thai's take a long time , the leaves do look sativa to my untrained eye.

This plant is definitely sativa dominant just looking at its pheno

do sativa's generally take a long time to flower?. , I read somewhere that thai's can take upto 5 months to fully flower.

I'm thinking the longer it take to flower the more chance it's a female but on the other hand I want it to flower now so I can get it finished before the worse of the weather comes.

British weather is very hit and miss at the moment, but my plant seems to be enjoying it.

i beleive sativas do take longer but i dont know about 5 months,my bro lives in spain,he told me some of his plants dont finish til nov.are you able to bring it in at night?

Yes i'll probably end up with it indoors later on thats why i've resisted putting it in the ground.i just hope we have a freak year(i remember a few years ago it was still hot in december). Anyway i'm hoping the forecasters have it right and we get a scorching august.

Ok no pics because my plant hasnt changed much since last photo because the weather has been terrible lately , thick cloud cover and hour on ,hour off heavy rain.

I found a few leaves rolled up like joints the other day couldnt really open them with my fingers so i grabbed a knife to prise them apart,the culprit was a cattepillar who came scurrying out trying to escape so i threw him in water ,I went out a couple of hours later and he was still alive on top of the water , so i spared his life (gimme some good kharma).

Pics as soon as this damn British weather picks up.

i hope you put him a million miles away from your plant,cos once it buds up,the caterpiller wont eat the leaves my friend!!!

man....

i shake the shiznit out my plant, shoooot...

i think i could smoke a catepillar:bonghit:

THC laden catepillars, theres an idea. lol

bit of a accident today , I put a board of wood(windbreaker) by my plant because the wind was bending it a bit too much but when I checked on it the board had fell over taking my lowest side branch with it ,I thought about taping it up but it was literally hanging by a thread so I luckily had some rooting powder and put it into a pot with a plastic bottle on top. I could of binned it but what the hell.

Well the hot weather is back FOR NOW.

My plant is bushing out a lot more height growth seems to of slowed (due to poor weather I think), still no sign of balls or hairs , I had a snail attack a couple of nights ago but not too much damage luckily.

these latest pics include my emergency job clone from last week and if anyone knows what caused these perforated marks on some new leaves I would be grateful (bugs me thinks).

Good Growin All.

take a closer pic of the branches where they come off the main stock so right in that crocth but closer to the top of the plant , males usually show nuts by 13 or 14 weeks of growing how long have you had it growing ?? it looks female to me i think i see a hair but i need closer pics, like an inch or two closer with your camera in those last pictures and we might be able to tell you what it is but im not 100% sure but just try and take abunch of pics and get one thats focused so its better for us to see please and thank you man

thanks for the help dackman these pics are no better but the first is the best shot of a preflower I could get on my phone (why is it when the camera clicks its perfect on the viewfinder then comes through blurred after processing) does anyone know what distance you hold the camera on macro setting?.

I'm a bit worried about the lowest fan leaves are yellowing and drooping, is this normal going into flowering?

thanks all.

(Oh this has been growing since March but I only had noticable growth in June/July)

(I'm a bit worried about the lowest fan leaves are yellowing and drooping, is this normal going into flowering?)

Problem solved I watered my plant well last night and there is a noticable improvement this morning with the fan leaves pointing out rather than down.

When will this end (Begin), after my watering problem she has started shooting up again (please forgive me plant) ,this plant is sucking up a lot a water now and my 3 gallon pot may not be adequate but it'll have to do .

Been a bit windy this week and my heart has stopped a few times when I've found things fallen on my plant (Advice-only use well secured windbreakers because if they fall over you'll be sorry) It's hard though when you see the top of your plant nearly bending in half, but these things are tough and can usually cope, and I've got away with just a little bending.

my cutting is going well under extra light after dark.

New pic is my girl in her new home , how long until she outgrows this one?.

Hopefully a better update when I have the good news.

she's lookin good my friend !!

Nice looking plant! Bigger Pot? Anyway looking great!

Re pot it to a igger pot and water it when its med dry. Make sure there is a lot of drainage in the pot. The will out grow there pots fast.:D

Re pot your plant man. It is root bound, thats why its dieing. I grow in pots and needed to re pot one plant four times. What you see growing is 50%, the other 50% is in the pot. The equal each other out. Thats why your plant will die!:( It needs air for it to grow. If ya dont re pot its dead.:wtf:

thanks for the advice LetsSeeYa and I will be repotting later , I've got a large bucket which I'm going to drill a few holes in which should do the job,

Anyone got any quick advice on how to get a 4 ft plant safely out of it's old pot and into it's new home.

Ok so the deed is done , I've roughed up my girl , I don't know if it will be as stressful for her as it was for me.

Will my plant show any stress because of it's re-potting ?.

this bucket must be about 6 gallons so hopefully it should be ok now ,I couldnt get much soil down the sides of the bucket when I put my plant into it so I had to be quite rough pushing down , I also disturbed the roots by scraping the roots with my fingers to get them to grow into new soil.

New pics are clone from last week , new clone from broken branch while re-potting(black pot) , size comparison from new to old (any thoughts?) , and my plant after the ordeal.

Thanks LetsSeeYA your advice was spot on I could'nt actually see any soil when I pulled my plant (I should of realised when roots started coming through the top).

It probably will be stressed out for 1-3 days after the transplant, especially if you were futzing with the root mass that much.

To deal w/ stress, giving it some superthrive is recommended (1/4 tsp/gal. for dealing with acute stress) - it's a cheap vitamin supplement. ($5 bux + free shipping on ebay)

Good luck on your clone! I'll be watching to see how it turns out!

Thanks DOUGAL25 for the tip ,

my first clone that I did is already growing well so I hope the other one does the same , I've got them outside then I bring them in under lighting for a couple of hours to hold off flowering , then I'll let them get to the height I want and then let them flower in my window indoors over the winter.

The problem with my main plant was that the top of the old pot was roughly the same as the new one so once it was in place I couldn't get soil down the side's and I could feel a void so I just had to force the soil down ,I know I have done some damage to the outer roots, will this be a problem?

Thanks again for everyone's input , much appreciated.

Ok so I've started covering my plant from about 7 pm until 9pm when it is dark , the only problem is my plant is too big to cover so I've got to cover my greenhouse , I'm using old sheets which is a pain because I've got to use a lot of them (what must my neighbours be thinking).

No visible shock from re-potting but I'm not happy with drainage so I've had to spike the soil with a metal rod.

Promise my next post will be in flower.

Well technically I am in flower but there not big obvious white hairs like you see in flowering pics, just a few tiny hairs appearing and plant growth seems to of slowed down and getting a little bit more of a smell from her. no pics my macro shots are not good enough.

I'm not happy next doors conifers are as big as their house and are depriving my plant of about 2 hours direct sunlight, my grow gets shaded from around 2pm. (any tips on how to kill these miserable things) lol (no I'm serious).

Pics are my plant tied over and my first clone which is going well.(I actually noticed a hair on my clone first and I'm not covering this up, Is this normal for a clone to flower before a mother even though its getting more light?).

Other clones are growing but not expecting much from them , I'm wondering if I can keep clones going till next summer in my mini growbox/modified fishtank?.

Hope this excellent weather keeps up though it is chilly of the night time.

Good Growin All.

Confirmation it's a girl , but still a long way to go,

congrats! looking forward 2 seein HER mature!!

hello and more stressful news that I didn't need , it appears that my next door neighbours daughter has been talking about my plant on facebook , now i'm not worried too much about police but if she's talking about it on facebook that means all her friends know, and all the friends of her friends know,
its my own fault but I only had one spot in my garden and she obviously spotted it, and I've still got ages to go ,
I'm just gonna sit tight and hope for the best

one more reason i hate facebook. good luck non the less!

hey mate looking good!!:thumbsup: how old is she now? also any new update on pics? whats the bud growth like? hope for the best! l8az

was going to run out and take some photo's but remembered I covered her up half an hour ago , here a couple I took on the 23rd ,

Overcast days do my head in ,I was wondering if to stop covering my girl now that she's in flower or give it a little longer, also with the night's getting colder I was going to put hot water in bottles to keep temp's up , any thoughts advice please.

xgr33nthumbx my plant is (looking in my diary) 8 months old tomorrow , I planted the seedling into a pot on the 25th Feb.

Now I have three dates for flowering but seeing as though I don't know the strain it dosen't matter that much...but,

33 days since I started covering her up a 7pm,

20 days since I changed to 6pm,

15 days since I noticed first pistils,

but I think the weather will determine harvest time.

hey hey! looking very nice! take a quick look on my thread when you got a sec, iv cut a little bit lol erm.. you got abit alonger ayy but looking very healthy! ill check your log/profile or w.e its called, but ill check it out anyways. ! catch you later.!:thumbsup:
