Ive Created a Monster, Someone HELP!!

Hi,


, I created a monster could some1 please suggest some pointer's in relation to my plant, ive started growing it since late May, and it has survived the most coldest summer's in the uk! it started budding ever since september now and i got a feeling in my gut itz not smokable,evan though the characteristic's show's,displays female!im a first time grower and is going through some nail bitting issue's due to the state of my plant! Itz been growing outside in the sun and i would bring it in random stormy days ,ive been giving it 14 hour's light and 14hours no light! feeding it miracle grow and normal tap water! Every 14 hour's! Since the sand looksvery dry, ive loosing up the soil each day and kinda strated seeing some brown pistels forming out of the hair's! im not a expert on growing Sooooooo please help ,,,Cheer's

im not an expert either but em buds look tasty, id say if your worried about it starting to die, hang her up to dry cure and smoke that shit. sun dosent look to be goin anywer so maybe a few more days wont hurt

Okay, take a deep breath and calm down =)

Isn't that better?

Now, you say it's been budding "ever since September now", which is (by my calendar) only 13 days ago. Relax, it may not look "smokeable" now, because it isn't anywhere near done! You've got at least 6-8 more weeks before harvest. 14 hours of dark might be too much, cut that down to 12 hours of light/12 hours of dark.

You say you're watering every 14 hours? With nutes? Knock it off =) Your plant doesn't need water every day, and giving it nutes every day isn't helpful either. You're going to end up with an overwatered, nutrient locked-out plant if you continue down that road.

From the size of your plant and the pot it's in, I'd give it about 2 cups of water per week. You can split this into 2, one cup waterings and add nutes to only one of those waterings, or you can give them the whole 2 cups at once and wait a week to water/feed again. Let the soil dry out COMPLETELY between waterings.

2 whole cups of water? Slow down...you might over water putting that much in.
/sarcasm.

Water it every 3 to 4 days. Maybe more depending on how hot it gets and how fast your soil drys out. Not 2 cups a week. That's just retarded. Don't let the soil dry completely. Just the first few top inches of the soil needs to be dry. It is in the sun so the top will dry fast. Just pay attention. Also feed it every other watering. So feed it once a week basically. Good luck.

You may want to buy a moisture meter to see when you need to water it! And doob is very right you need to be on the 12/12 cycle! Also it looks like you have some sort of burn damage on your leaves not sure its hard to tell from the pic..You def need to harvest longer usually harvest takes at least 7-8 weeks! Good Luck!

Wow, Great info,cheer's Emmm Yee 12/hour's defoo ,2 cup's Weekly ''check'', mostiure meter, Mann im in a recessionnnn,lol ?Emm, 1 more question , Da fuck is up with my buds at the lower end of the plant compared the to the peak of my plant?

This picture below is a bud from below the plant, With a few whole's and ishh, ,im expecting, i guess maybe after them 8 more weeks or something?


And then i have my Peak Budding, it's starting to form that sticky icky,glittering magnefied magic-mushroomz alike affect?Which of cause them bronz lookin pestils forming?

The 14 hour cycle you had it in for so long will prob get the plant to ripen early thats y the hairs are turning so brown and the dieing looking leaves ya had ive only seen leaves like that before i used a fan so maybe when your bringing it in for its dark period theres no air circulation and the moistures building up and rotting the leaves but apart from that looks swell after another loada weeks you should get a gd bita puff

Omg these poor plants. You don't know much do you? Please move this post to newbie help. Please. You need more then 2 cups of water a week you dunce. About a half gallon every 3 or 4 days. Maybe more. I don't do outdoors. Please learn more and do it fast or your plants are doomed. What the hell are you doin just now flowering your plants in the middle of september. The cold is going to molest your plants. Just cut some clones...learn...then start over in doors. Please.

If the soil stays wet, the roots will rot or you'll attract fungus gnats or other pests that thrive in moist conditions.

The soil needs to be allowed to dry out between waterings. Anyone who has ever grown a plant knows how easy it is to over-water.

You don't grow outdoors, so you obviously have no knowledge of the notion of hardiness zones or the first/last frost dates. Some areas in the US are months away from the first frost, and if this person is growing in another country it might be perfectly warm for all you know (which isn't much judging from the advice you're giving).

Ya I know. I said every 3-4 days. How long do you think soil takes to dry out? Dude 2 cups? You use more cups then that to make fucking macaroni and cheese. Can you survive on 2 cups of water a week? No. So how the hell do you expect a plant that is constantly in the sun to stay alive? 2 cups a week with your outdoor or indoor plant will cause it to wilt and stress and more then likely die. Don't listen to this dude "doobnVA". He has lost his fucking mind.

lol i feed mine 5 cups every 2 days. i wate until i see the wilting. im a noob soil grower but i no my shit with every thing els. i grow with mostly stones better for aireashon. i kame ere 2 learn about soil. but im no beter off .lol ??? buz eny 1 no

Well if your a noob then avoid miracle grow completely. Start with something organic. Fox farms ocean forest is a good choice. They wilt every 2 days cause you give em 5 cups of water. Your plant constantly wilting and stunting isnt going to help at all. Just water em once every 3 or 4 days or whenever the soil is pretty dry. You cant over water if you let the soil dry out before the next water. The excess will just drain out of the bottom and then the plant will suck it up over time. Just let the soil dry. You think the plant gets more then 5 cups of water when it rains in the wild?....um yessir.

0 ( soil in big pot) .? do i feed from the bottem or from the top. im doing from the top . but the main tap root must be at the bottem right ? so is it wilting evry 2..3 days coz it is over waterd or is it wilting coz ov lack of water? wtf man??? i think ill stick to stones. the ec and ph i can look at every day and pumps timers exe . but in soil. hmm its crap and the testers r all crap. ;( but the 1ns in soil r my muther plants? i dont want them 2 die.? i consider my self a bit ov an no it all with weed . but this last munth as been hell with this soil shit.lol

ya water the plant when it needs watered theres no set amount to how much to water with soil ya just do it when it starts to be dry about an inch from the surface just scrape a bita soil at the edge of the pot and dont wait till it wilts and even if it does start getting nippy outside then set it on your window in your house and it wont matter about the colder weather kicking in and as for sandman your obviously reading the wrong threads if you dont no much about growing i mean wtf its a fucking weed its not hard to grow its 1a the easyest types of plant to grow shit growing tomatos is harder and they still easy to grow comin sense good soil and if ya can be assed make ur on nutes n if not go buy a range from the shop and as for cups of water for ur plants HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM i used to empty a litre into mine when they were small and when they got big n needed a drink 2 litres of water and they loved it no droppyness all perked up n lookin swell but fuck soil to much attention needed dwc all the way dont go near my plants for 3 4 days damn ya can near leave the tank near empty as long as ya get lots of bubbles splasing the roots. Would love to try a dwc outdoors now that would be 1 monster

You mix your nuts into a small bowl then add them to the water your going to put into your soil. Do this to avoid your nutes locking up on you. From the top silly. You add the food to the water and water enters from the top near the stock. Have you ever watered a plant? Lol. 2 Litres sounds nice. Not cups...wtf. People need to learn before attempting to help others. Its wilting because its UNDER watered. 5 cups? Seriously? Try 1 or 2 litres per 3 gallon pot. You need 5 thrings to grow good pot.

1. Good soil
2. Good water/water habits
3. Good nutes
4. TONS OF LIGHT!
5. Good strain choice

Keep the temps between 70-78 depending on strain. Love em and they will grow.

if ya can keep the temps at a steady 85-90 it opens the stomas on the leafs more which help it to photosynthesis better but ya really have to have ur enviroment right or ya cook them and only do it when the plants a couple off weeks old but it makes a big diff in growth even low the plants leaves mightnt look like they doing as good because of the slight curling techniclly they are doing slightly better at higher temps trail and error on my part 2 diff cabs 2 diff temps and the higher temp cab won every time (cab=grow room)

Ps that avatars lovely i caught my head bounceing up and down lookin at them tittes lol

dude i no my shit. just look at my albem.i grow in stone. im just a noob grower in soil.im just after watering tips for soil.0.? and wood it be better 2 put holes harf way down the pot for more aireashon.and water more often ?

Ive only ever put holes in the bottom and ya just have ta check every day with soil ive had plants all same size and growth stage and watered them all the same amounts and called in a day or 2 later and a few would be nice and damp still and others would be bone dry its a ballacks thats y i stopped with soil and started dwc but i always liked to keep the soil damp and outa 15 grows not once did it effct my plants keeping the soil always damp and when the fungus gets to bad let it dry out and it dies off. Done a few DWC grows now but still learning was on and checked ur hydro grow 40 ounce of 3 plants damn how long ya veg them for im thinking this time around vegging mine for 3 4 months instead of my usual 1 would that be the awnser??

I said every 3-4 days, too, didn't I? Half a gallon, you say? You'll fucking drown your plants that way. Plants in pots simply don't need that much water, EVER. Maybe if it's 100 degrees outside, but if that were the case then your plants are going to struggle anyway no matter how much water you give them and less is always better (You can add more water, but you can't take it away once it's in the pot)

Do you have outdoor plants? No? Then STFU. Do I have outdoor plants? Absolutely, for about 10 years.

So, again, STFU if you don't know what you're talking about.

My indoor plants are in 3 gallon pots and I give them 2/3 a cup of water every 4-5 days (about 150 mL). The temps are comparable to the temps outdoors, and I let the soil dry completely between waterings (the plants don't droop unless they've been deprived of water for a few days or they're OVERwatered - yes, they droop when they're overwatered).

My outdoor potted plants get 2 cups every 4-5 days, except when it's really hot (90-100 degrees or more) and then they might need watered every 3 days but never more than that. Now the weather is cooling off and I'm betting they will need even less water than that.

Scraping off the first inch of soil isn't a good way to test how much water is in the pot. The top few inches of soil may be completely dry, and the bottom of the pot might be a big mud puddle. The top of the soil dries out long before the rest of the water in the pot has been absorbed/evaporated.

If you're growing in a nice, loose soil then half a gallon will just drain right through and run out the bottom. Get a moisture meter (less than $10 at just about any hardware/gardening store), which will help you monitor the moisture in the soil. Make sure you push it all the way to the bottom of the pot, as this is where water will pool.

2 cups is not just a number I came up with myself, but I do find that it's more than enough to soak ALL the soil in my 3 gallon pots.

Like I said before, you can always add MORE water if your plants dry out quickly, but you can't take water OUT of the pot if you drown your plant.

Less is better, so start with less and watch how your plants respond. If they need more, give them more.
