flowergirl Reviewed by flowergirl on 09-15-2005. Hi need advice pls! Just wanted to say Hi and wondering if anyone would comment on how my plant is doing, got given it by a friend when it was just planted it's only the first plant i've tried growing and its about 2 months now, been giving it miracle gro every 2 weeks and watering nearly every day. Not exactly sure how its doing but there are quite a few buds. do i need to wait to pick them . any advice? ;) Rating: 5

If you really think that the colors of the pistils are what determines the maturity of a plant you need to do a bit more reading. Pistils could be titty pink and if the trichomes weren't the correct color indicating the time to harvest it'd be junk if you smoked it.

You shouldn't transplant at this stage of the game. Stressing it out (if you did) could delay harvest time by a few weeks.

Its ok for the pot.. it will do fine till harvest... looks like a 4 gal pot to me.

If the amount of light the plant will get is same as on your balcony, then it shouldn't be a problem but i would remove it from the window if it gets too hot... Also maybe the plant will stunt from going outside to inside and stop budding in this case for a week or so... it wont stretch much so you better let it on the balcony. Don't worry it ain't gonna grow over your walls.

Happy Growing!

Dude, its just a simple way to do it and yes the smoke will still be good... i dont think everyone buy a microscope for only 1 plant.

Happy Harvest

One last thing.. so when the plant is ready.. do i just hang the whole thing.. or can i pick off the stems with the buds and just hang them ?? maybe if i do that the plant might grow again.

Just hack it down and let the whole plant dry top side down so you can get more thc from the main stem to the buds.. when its dry simply cut the buds and enjoy..

Unless you have good artificial light to make it veg again you wont have new buds this yr. Although, its not advised to harvest from the same plant twice as it wont have the punch it once had.
