As for my problem, i am leaving for school in a week and will be unable to get to her more then once a month. (school is far). My main concern about this is that she will only get water when it decides to rain. Wil she be ok like this? should i transplant her into the ground to get more water? what are your suggestions?

Also, i know that flowering time is strain dependent but if i first started seeing the white hairs around the first of august, when is a rough estimate of when to harvest. (i wont b able to check daily or even weekly so im just gunna pick a date and go for it.) i was thinking first week of october?
i wud recommend the ground since mine have been in the ground even if it doesnt rain they can go longer without being watered do it as soon as u can before you go and heavily water the area around it if you live in a dry area, if you get rain once a week there is nuffin to worry about but, defo put her in the ground before you go i wud say, and as for wen to harvest thats a hard one if you knew if she was sativa/indica dominant it would be easier to put an estimate on the time of harvest if not come back at the end of the 8th week of flowering, if shes indica dominant the chances are she will be ready, if sativa then the chances are you will probz need an extra 2-4 weeks but then at least u will know when to come bak

are the leaves long and skinny or shorter and broader?
