new grower.... is all lost?

[ms150263]

Hello all, I'm a new grower but i think i may have to give up on this crop. they r about 7 weeks old , they range from 10inches to 18... have 8 plants. i started them inside in a window and then moved them outside into a mini plastic covered greenhouse. i've taken them in as they were being eaten by bugs. non of them can support themselves i have them tied to sticks.... this is'nt right is it... also if they are no good can i smoke the leaves if i dry 'em
any help ???

no they still shud be fine if your careful, the cannabis plant can take alot of shit, just give them time and the stalks shud strengthen up they probably cant suppport themselves due to they have stretched to far searching for light, if u continue growing them with support from sticks they shud be fine and come september they will start budding up good, also another tip to stop them growing so lanky prune the top off and it will fill out lower on the plant and this will help it strengthen up, alos make sure they have nice big pots to grow in, bigger roots mean a more stable plant. hope this helps.
and smoking the dried out leaves is not nice!! it doesnt really do much gives u more headache than high!!

happy growing

If they are mature enough for an ok harvest(and/or u think that your harvest will get screwed) u can pull them up by the roots, hang em' upside down and the bugs will run clear upwards clear from the buds and leaves.

there r no buds yet at all... not showing any signs of sex... there r in my kitchen now... not sure what to do with 'em

[king cola]

the story with the 12/12 is that during the later months of the year eg september onwards the hours of daylight comes to about 12 hours light and 12 hours dark wen this happens the plants start budding up, but they wont produce buds until the light goes into this routine, apart from male plants who start producing worthless male flowers wenever they feel like it, About 2 months old or summit, depends on strain.
do some reading on the net about it all, jus type in to a search engine, how to grow cannabis, and read all about it, u will soon understand the basics!

happy growing

Well, if u absolutely don't want to get any lights i'd say give it as much sun light as possible and rap the container your keeping it in with alluminum foil. Keep it by the window and hope for the best
