Hey everyone a couple months ago I decided I wanted to finally actually try growing as I was getting sick and tired of paying for my stuff as I am a heavy smoker due to me having severe anxiety and mild depression. I also smoke cigarettes so you can just imagine that expense monthly.. So I have always been curious about growing and almost did a while back but it didn't work out.
One night I found 1 seed in a bag I got off a friend and it was straight up dank, some of the best I've ever had. When I stuck my nose in the bag it smelled like vomit so I called him and asked him what the hell was the deal and he claimed it was blue cheese. So I go out I buy a 3 gal pot and filled it stupidly with MG soil and put it outside after sprouting. About a month in and the plant was just looking like pure hell literally I had to chop off every fan leaf and it looked like just a big stem minus some leaves on the top. I know someone who grows regularly and he took the plant from me and put it in his tent after changing the soil to Bush Doctor CoCo Loco and started giving it his nutrients. (He uses General Organics nutrients).
Amazingly the plant bounced back and looked better than ever and he topped it a few times and it was just looking amazing. Until one day he called me. He said I took the plant out of my tent it hermied. I'll assume it's probably from all the stress it had been through thanks to my unexperienced ass. I told him don't throw it out just give it back to me and I'll let it finish outside as it had just started to flower in the last few weeks. I make sure it gets 12/12 even being outside as Its sill in the 3 gal pot so I bring it in after 12 hours. And put it back outside in the morning. It just had another feeding 3 days ago and it's almost ready for another watering with no nutes. Also the water is PH'd to exactly 5.8 every watering.
Lastly I continue to pick off any male parts that pop up which only seem to be popping up in various nodes of the plant and I've yet to find any in the actual buds themselves and haven't found any male parts in a few days. My main concern is my nice white hairs on a few of the main flowers on top are starting to turn brown and they are no where near close to being fully developed so does this mean they have gotten pollinated or are the small buds maturing too fast? Or is this normal for a hermie? Also will the bud quality suffer now? The temp varies here between 70-85 lately and it gets direct sunlight. Here's a few pictures, any advice or help would be appreciated. Thank you! And sorry for such a long post but I figured it would be good to know the entire history of the plant. I plan on getting a tent soon so I can grow properly.
