19 yr old's first grow!

backpacker420, keep up the good work on them. I agree with luna that the wilting looks like they have a watering issue - either under or over. Has it been raining or dry? Just adjust the watering a bit, and they should pick their chins back up.

Be good out there, bro. I know you must be anxious to see them start flowering. Enjoy the whole process and keep track of each step along the way.

It has been raining heavily lately - and when it's not raining, it's hotter than Hades!

Okay, picture time boys and girls!!

Can anyone tell the sex of these plants? Or too early to tell?



Some sort of discoloration on the leaves... And holes! Any ideas?



Big Mama... Must be 3.5 feet tall now

They look all healthy to me. You are right something is munching on your leaf. What is your climate like? Rainy? If it isn't too wet you can use some neem oil. I usually don't need to worry too much once they get over 2 ft because there are enough natural predators to keep a healthy balance so it really does matter which climate zone you are in.

Backpacker 420,

I remember you when you first started a grow earlier this year. And I don't think it went well.

Now to be honest. You have come along way in your skills by sticking to it and learning along the way. GREAT WORK WITH INJUNUITY. BE PROUD

They are some very nice looking plants!!!!!

Now for some input.

What I think is happening is your plants have been over watered from the rain. First is what is the natural soil? If it is clay or some non-absorbant type of soil. What happens during a rain is the hole you made for the plant and replaced the natural soil with good soil acts like a bucket and holds the water for days, this can drown the roots. There is nothing you can do at this point to help them except prey they come thru. Judging by their size you should be fine because they will eventualy absorb the water and just stunt there growth a little untill they recover.

Just keep in mind for your next grow try finding a spot that is higher than the ground around it so water flows slowly away from your plants, if you place them in an area that is lower then all the runnoff will accumulate in the hole you dug causing a situation your in now.

Your plants look great! They do look a little stressed, possibly from over-watering. I'm not an outdoor/soil guy so I'm not sure..

As for the sexes. All 4 of those photos look like females, you can see the preflowers. They look good but they still have a long way to go

Plant 1 harvested! We looked at trichs again and they were about 60/40 milky/amber! This bud was grown under God's bright sun and in his natural earth, with only several feedings of the FoxFarm line! No mold, no mites, nothing!

Hanging in my closet... Boy does it stink in here!

Plants #2 and #3 will be harvested next week or so, their trichromes are still mostly clear and milky!
