My First Grow - What do YOU think?

[Minnesnowta]

Hey ya'll, I just finished my first grow ever and figured I would post some pics of the plant for everyone to see, and give me some feedback on. I grew this plant outdoors in a pot so I could move it inside whenever there was a risk of frost this fall. Total height including the pot it was planted in was 5' tall almost exactly. It was just some random bag seed I found in my old backpack, the seed was a minimum of 2 years old, so I don't have a clue what the strain is, or even remember what the bud was like that I found the seed in. Complete mystery grow, I just found the seed and figured I would plant it and see what happens.. note this plant had been through hell in its lifetime due to rabbits, deer, wind resulting in accidental impact with the ground, and probably more random stress causing issues.

Anyways... Here are the pictures to check out, my camera sucks so the focus is kinda shitty in certain areas and what not but you get the picture.


And for all you other gardeners out there, I would appreciate your comments on what you think of the plant based on what you can see, both good and bad observations, whatever you notice. Potential problems, things I should have done differently, or comments on areas of quality.

Thanks and enjoy!

Sad, no comments yet, I figured I would've had a few by now. I thought people loved looking at pictures of bud haha.

For your first grow, looks better than mine did! Good luck and will be anxious to hear how it smokes and what you think it may be! You gotsa pretty green thumb and nice plants! pr

Thank you sir, I harvested the first set of buds off of it a few weeks ago now so I have had the privilage of smoking some of it as well as sharing it with others to get their opinions and it seems the general concensus is that it turned out to be an excellent smoke. I've definitely smoked bud quite a bit better in several aspects than mine, but as for potency and quality of high I believe it rivals the best that I've smoked, and I've smoked some excellent buds in my time. I find it hard to believe that there is weed somewhere in the world that is much better than some of the more memorable strains I have smoked. All in all I'm very happy with it, and didn't imagine my flower could even possibly get nearly as good as it ended up being, so thats great.

I kept the plant alive and never harvested the under developed branches. It has been sitting under lights in a flowering setting now since the frost and cold temps came rolling in. I was hoping that I could develop those branches and get some good buds out of those still too, but I am not sure if that is possible? They haven't filled in much in the 2 weeks or so that it has been inside so I was wondering if those buds are possibly just stuck the way they are being really loose and not filled in, if thats the case then I should just chop them off and dry it out. The tips on the larger leaves have started to kinda dry out and curl upwards, does that mean shes all done and is just going to go bad if I don't harvest it? Trichs aren't amber at all yet either on most of these. Any input or thought on these questions would be greatly appreciated, I would hate to leave it sit there trying to flower more when its just going to go bad and I'm gonna lose it all anyways.
