This is my first time growing and i was wondering if i could get any tips or opinions on my baby and if someone know what strain this is
its about 4 weeks old (all growing done natural,outdoors)
thanks

Good news is that it's female. Bad news is that it's flowering at such a young age. If you continue to let it flower at this size, you won't get much from it. I'm guessing the light is not ideal. Other than that, it looks pretty healthy.

Yes, get a bigger pot is exactly what he is advising. Wait, what??? No, he is saying that your plant went into flower too soon, because it was planted outside too early when the days were short. So you either need to keep going and hope it goes back to vegging and doesn't hermie, or start a new plant.

 

[THEdarkness]

what kind is it? (sativa,indica ect.)

 

[chuq]

My guess is mostly sativa cause the leaves arent broad like indicas

Son your about to harvest a dimebag.. and i bet no one on earth could tell you what strain that is at that age..

 

[THEdarkness]

lol how do u reverse it back to vegg?

 

[DesertSativa]

Keep it outside and the lengthening days will trigger it to re-veg.

thnks :]
i have another question.........do orange peels have any affect on the plant?
cause some friends say that the bud might taste/smell like a hint of orange..im kinda skeptical about it...

First of all, in order to revert to veg, it takes a few weeks IIRC even under 24/7. The lengthening days are unliikely to revert it, and if they do it won't happen on a timescale that is meaningful to you (it will take forever). If you want a larger plant, get it under some CFLs or fluoro tubes to send it back to veg, then put it back outdoors when you are ready to flower it. Keep in mind that when you make the transition back outdoors you should do it gradually (harden if off) so as to minimize the shock of the plant.

In my opinion, however, if you have more seed or a source of clones, you should just leave this guy outside to get a feel for the grow and the satisfaction of the harvest, and start anew with new seeds under at least 18/6 light. It will take so long to send that plant back to veg that it just won't be worth it.

As for the pot, it is plenty big for the size of that plant. It looks like 2-3 gallon clay. I don't go any larger than 3 gallon personally, but I don't grow trees.

i seriously doubt putting citric acid into the soil will effect flavor...only one way to find out tho

 

[cgrizzle3]

Switch the light cycle back. Some people swear by budding plants, then cloning them when their budded a little, then vegging them back out. They say it will give you buds from top to bottom...

the thread is from 2008 dude.

 

[Mr Cannabis Sativa]

no idea about the orange peals but it doesnt hurt to try, cut em up into tiny pieces and throw some in the dirt

and.. yea your plant is WAY to young

 

[drew k.420]

when that plant is done.youll get a joint at best.if you want to get it to grow your gonna need light 24/7 for about a monthand eventually it will revert back to vegitative state.
