Hey I'm new to this forum, and I'm new to growing. This is my first attempt at growing cannabis, and I had originally believed that it was a simple process (it's a weed, right?) that would pretty much guide itself. I'm now discovering that may not be the case though...

I am doing an outdoor grow, though I have the plants in containers of potting soil (miracle grow with extended nutrient release, supposedly really good for flowering plants). I have four plants, all about five weeks old. They have four tiers of branches each. They are each a little over a foot tall. I have not added any additional nutrients/fertilizers.

I have several questions, as my instinct tells me that it's approaching time to do SOMETHING, though it's escaping me what that could be. Should I top them or prune them? Should I begin adding nutrients? I've noticed some reddening on the stems, and the leaves on the bottom branches are a bit yellow, and the tips of those leaves are brown. However, the new growth looks very healthy.

By the way, I don't know the strains. They are quality seeds, as I smoked the buds they came from.

Searching the grow FAQs is proving to be...difficult. If anyone could give me just some basic pointers or let me know if I'm on the right track that would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys

Went and checked out my plants....Is it weird that it was making 5 leaf fans and now it's making only 3 leaf fans? my bigger one is looking beautiful and is starting to get little hair things in the nodes.
