Growing on my hotel balcony :) (pictures)

Welcome and thanks for reading.

Im a college student living in Waikiki, Hawaii. Recently, about 3 weeks ago, I planted a few seeds I had left from an amazing bag of Maui'Wowie, out on my hotel balcony. About 6 plants sprouted and are doing quite well actualy. They get a good 9 or more hours of pure sunlight every day and i try to water them on a regular basis. I was wondering if i could get any extra tips as to maybe get them to produce buds asap, and or keep them short.

Thanks for any input and enjoy the pictures

One thing to know, you need only one plant per pot. Having two will cause the roots to go all out of whack and may just fuck up your entire crop later. I would suggest getting them into seperate pots before they begin to really start devolping their roots. NOW, lol
As well as soil, looks like mulch to me, nothing prime, but will probably work

Wow - they look pretty healthy to me. Nice job. DEFINATELY seperate the plants out into seperate pots.

Never heard of using mulch before for soil - it might work. Keep an eye on your pH and drainage - two most common problems with soils, although I doubt drainage will be a problem with mulch.

Marijuana will start to bud when the amount of daylight starts to get shorter - a sign autumn is coming. That's really the only thing that will force it to bud. When growing indoors, growers usually use a 18/6 light cycle (18 light, 6 dark), and then when they want it to bloom, they switch the light cycle to 12/12. Not entirely sure how it's going to work since you planted them in November, but then again that is the tropics - I've heard some places (few) can grow crop almost year round, if not at least two growing seasons per year.

Good luck.

I have been told that many outdoor growers plant fall/winter crops around Dec 1, so you might be a tad early, but hopefully you'll be fine.

Dunno if leaving it on your hotel balcony (you LIVE in a hotel??) is so good, who knows who will be watching. Of course, you wont have to worry just yet, as the plants are small now. If they get big, it may become more difficult (and your neighbors might notice the smell)....

Happy growing !

Hey guys!!

My plants seem to be doing great!!! Iv included some new pictures.
Please give me any feed back you can about how they look.

I also have noticed some spots on the plants leaves (see pictures) is this an important problem??

Thanks for any suggestions!

the pic i see is a male, it has allready sprouted, hack it fast,

keep the plants in first two and get rid of plants in 3rd and 4th fast, any with those balls get rid of fast, since its outside you wont have all seeds, but some.

So get rid of the male fast?? can i just put it farther away from the female... and keep it? will there be anything smokeable on it?

I see an open male flower there.. which means pollen has been released which thusly means your female bud will have seeds...

Males DO NOT produce nug, it is the female - the Catalyst (spelt?) of the female plant sticks out a white hair, and if even 1 pollen touches it, it will turn into a seed..

If NO pollen has touched it, the catalyst swells with THC and Resin Glands, which is what you want for a smoke....

So get rid of that male, get it OUT of the house so no more can damage your crop.. Unless you WANT a bunch of seeds.

P.S. you know it's a male when it sprouts little balls... See how the female just has a bunch of white hairs?

calyx, humored sanity, and if u get rid of it fast you will have soom seeds for future grows and some bud. And yes, either git rid of it or put it in a place with no airflow to the female.

So nothing can be smoked (to get high) on a male plant?? :confused:

what should i do with the male then?? just trash it? will the male have any seeds?? (for future harvests)

Males only produce pollen - get rid of them NOW. Now that your females have been pollenized they will most likely produce seedy ganja.

males make pollen, pollen gets on female, you get seeds and no good bud. Hack the male and hash it or trash it.

yeah u better trash it

man try to litter it with some alcohol, put some extc in the water and leave water few days. then water the plant. u'll get fantastic results when u smoke it.

plants are beautiful. good work.

Here is my Balcony. I am keeping them short so they are out of sight. There are some young Marlies Collie and White Widow close ups for you. I have rented 3 rooms for 60 a month here.

But if he gets rid of the male he could take some cuttings from the female and make more females. I think he figures it has leafs it must smoke. If I remember there is some 2 percent thc flowing through all parts of the male plant. So the alcahol extract is a good idea. I would trash it, but then I have a lot of plants and he does not. It is not worth the effort brother.

Also, this is AWFULLY early for such big buds. Most of my garden stuff has just preflower and no real bud sites yet. So if you rid that thing now and harvest in 5 or 6 weeks you will only have a few seeds. The ones with the seed pods leave on the plant when you cut the rest off. Let them mature and you can recycle again. When is harvest for you down south? How many more weeks. Is this indoor now?

definitely kill the males...not worth the time or trouble...I culled 7 males/hermies
