UK Outdoor Frisian Dew 4 1/2 months old

[tingting1]

Hello Everyone

Have a long thread in the plant problems section entitled ''pest spray burnt my leaves'' but thought I would post something here now as my problem has gone and it is an outdoors plant. OK.

So she is now 18 weeks old or 4 and a half months old and now a little over five foot tall. I have a concern/question for you kind people. I read something last night that said if you start your grow too early it messes up the plant and it will grow tall but not yield too much of the good stuff??? Apparently the best time to start an outdoors grow is June 1st???? Is this correct? I started late March! My concern......

She is already huge and hasn't started to flower yet. The packet of seeds said that the flowering stage for Frisian Dew is 7 to 8 weeks so another 2 months!!!! and that harvest should be the 1st week of October. My question is how much bloody taller is she likely to get in the next 2 months?

On the plus side she looks and smells amazing and seems happy in her new home. I'm not too concerned about the yield as it's for personal use but I would hate to have grown her for all this time and to only get like an ounce or something.

Sorry, 1st time grower stressing about nothing again I'm sure!!!

Here are some pics for you to enjoy.......

PS. Love feedback, how does she look ??? :rasta:

First looking at that you will probably pull a few ounces off it, if not, more!

By looking at the REAL sativish look in the leaves I'm going to say it will at LEAST triple in size during flowering. So you figure when it's all said and done, it may be possible that it ends up being 10ft +/-

Also, are you sure it's a female? Or did you just grow out the seed hoping for the best?! LoL

[tingting1]

The Seeds were feminized and a few people who are seen it said it looks female so that is what i'm basing it on. You really think it could grow as tall as 10ft??? I may have a problem lol

[Italiano715]

It's possible! LoL I've heard some full blown sativas stretch almost 5X it's size!!!! If that were the case with yours (which I doubt) it would be almost 20-25ft!!!! DAMMNNNN THAT WOULD BE A HUGE ASS TREE!! But definitely will double in size minimal! Being outside that's why I say triple.

Looking at the background on your frisian dew, it says high yield for outdoor grows, so I'm assuming yours will come out wonderful! They look beautiful by the way! :thumbsup:

Thanks, she is looking good I have to say. Will keep a mini blog here on how's she's doing. Any further tips / feedback would be much appriciated


Cheers

Be safe and happy growing!

Hey, wherever you read that they were very off base. Generally the earlier you start, the more time the plant has to gain size and budding sites and the more you'll get. beginning of june is fine too, but I start the middle of May. As far as flowering if you start earlier the plant will be more sexually mature and more likely to flower just as soon as the photoperiod allows, hence harvest a few weeks earlier than if you planted in say middle of june. She's most likely about to flower in the next few weeks and her growth will greatly slow for 1-2 weeks as she hits puberty of sorts, lol. then it will continue to grow 2 or 3 feet taller as it is flowering. When you read that it flowers for 7-8 weeks that was probably forindoor growing, however, outdoors flowering can be a slightly different time frame and she'll probably be finished the first or second week of october either way. Well, enough ramling for me, good luck and happy harvest.

Thanks 86th. I'll keep you posted on how she's doing and post more photos along the way. All the best

So there was a massive storm last night and the greenhouse blew off knocking the plant in the process. I wasn't around but got told about it this morning. Apparently the plant was leaning majorly to the point where it was almost on the ground so a friend put a stick of bambo in the soil to tie it upright again.

When I arrived to inspect the damage I noticed that all of the leaves where very droopy (I assume this would be down to stress???) Thankfully none of the branches snapped, only a few of the smaller leaves and fallen off.

I've managed to errect the greenhouse again and secure it much better this time.

Just wondering if the droppyness of the leaves is down to the stress of the whole situation or if the bambo might have damaged some of the roots??

My plan is to leave it be for a couple of days and see how it copes. Any other things I should be checking for?

Thanks

very nice!!!!

from my personal exp. my girls have always slowed down on stretching during flowering.

the stick cud have damaged sum roots, depending on how close it is to the stalk and how deep the stick is. the droopiness could be from all the rain it got, not sure if the rain got to it at all... hope its doin ok.

watch for lil white hairs every few days... that will tell u its female.

quite a few of mine have already sexed out, im thinkin due to the cloudy weather we been havin... usually dont see sex til early Aug. in my region.

Good Luck.
