Hello everyone. This is my first grow in or out, and I thought id share it with you. These are a month and three weeks old and show clear signs of pre-flowering. Started by tossin 4 or 5 seeds I had from a drawer long forgotten into regular pots under full late May sun, and only brought them under cover when it rained to avoid over-watering. While I had three, I had to get rid of one of them because it was a male. I used Good potting soil to get them rooted, then transplanted them into larger pots using backyard soil I had. (If your doing this make sure your dirt doesnt have any bugs. Fungus gnats love to live in moist soil and their larvae eat roots!)
Some Observations so far:
* They grow fast! Especially with lots of summer sun, and daily watering. (They are in drain pots and it hasnt rained much where I am. Lots and lots of sun though.)
* Over-fertilizing is a big problem. If you have backyard soil that isnt filled with bugs works fine. In a month in a half i think i only fertilized twice with "NATURAL" methods, and water soluble vigoro plant food (The kind that can be used for vegetables) for the pre-flower and flowering stage. They dont like to be overfed!! If your leaves are light green or turning brown, then fertilize. If they do that anyways then your over feeding. If ur leaftips burn or brown, and they are not too close to the lights, or it might only happen in the bottom and middle half of the plant, then your overfeeding. Rain water, tap water, and distilled water will help drain your soil of all those nuts.!!
* If your leaves droop, then water. If they dont perk up in half an hour max, then your over watering.
*Keep mites under control by sprayin water under the leaves. Outdoor growing without bugs is practically impossible. But the simple act of spraying under the leaves and blasting away pests is very effective. I havent used any pesticide because of chemicals. No matter how natural or safe. If i can have almost the same effect by simply spraying water under the leaves, im going to do that instead. Daily monitoring for catepillars, insects, and bugs. I spray every couple of days, or when i see lil holes in the leaves.
From your observations, how long does it take for a plant to bud once pre-flowering pistils form?
