My first plant 3 months =/

Ok so i started this back about april 24th or so i happened to find a seed in some chronic. Anyways it is a indoor/outdoor one only outdoors during the day. Live is southwest plenty of sun. I think size of my pot stunted it substantially but... I transferred it into a 12" pot at 2 month and now i have a 10 gallon smart pot that its in. I was also having an infestation at about my 2 month stage. A lil over a week ago i got my neem oil mix and i applied it so far my problem seems to be doing better. But im still finding signs of them on there. Im currently using 20/20/20 fert i transplanted my plant to smart pot about a week ago. couple days before applying neem oil. Im waiting about 3-5 days till i start using fert again. Also i have yet to trim it i have just trimmed the yellow leaves nothing more. Should i trim it? Im just not sure i just want it to do as good as it possibly can now. I understand its a dwarf but still i want it to be its best. Any tips or comments are very appreciated. Also is my plant a female? can you tell yet ?

Or just add the IMG tag but yea, its a girl alright.

awesome ok thanks thats great

I bet its good news after not knowing for three months, taking it outside and in again at night.
That's dedication. Glad it paid off for you. Be careful not to hit the buds with water/neem, if they get wet and stay wet they can develop mold.
Killing mites is a two stage process, kill the live ones then hit them again in two weeks to kill the eggs that hatched.

Good luck man.

Yeah its been long and tough run almost lost her a few times... Ok so in a few more days i will be spraying again with neem. Last time i completely drenched plant under leaves everywhere then put it under my ceiling fan on high to help dry it quicker seemed dry in about 10 mins but it dont seem like there is much bud on it atm. Since its early flowering im guessing would it be ok to do the same and put it under the fan all night then back outside during the day. And also since it is in flowering what am i to do about trimming? I just havent wanted to stress it anymore then what it was. I have been letting nature take its course. And once the leaves are drying/yellowing i take em off. Thanks cruzer support helps tons!

Sure man. I learned a lot here, dont mind kickin back some.
Trimming? She's already gone through stretch, you got buds already, isn't gonna get much taller even with the new pot but it will fatten up.
My guess would be she will get about 4 to 6 inches taller and about as big around as a silver dollar and that main cola will be 90% of your take.
That is of course if you can stop those spider mites.

Phew. She's a dwarf but could still produce some good buds. Hope things turn out well for you.

Don't trim anything, she's been through enough. Just pull off the leaves that need to come off, sounds like you know how to do that now. Don't be cutting leaves just to cut them off and "save energy for a bigger stalk" and shit like that. Those leaves are how the plants get energy.

Ok i understand. And also i am going to describe some of the looks of it and tell me if there is more then what i know. I have these yellowish spots on leaves. The newer leaves seem to be ok but im not sure yet. Also there is like breaking in the middle of a leaf or 2 almost like a slice in the middle of her leaf. Weird... Shes also has some yellowing at the tips on a good amount of leaves. The yellowing seems to be somewhat crispy on the older yellow tips. Also something took a bite out of a leaf i havent found anything i figure maybe a wanderer threw a much got high and left lol. Aside from that its about it. Oh and also not sure if this is relevant but i have this shiny stuff on my leaf its not my neem i know that. Its on like 2 leaves not much but i figure i would ask.

You been moving her outside everyday, No telling whats out there.
Yellowish spots on the leaf could be a lot of things, basically that the plant using it's stored nutrients in the leaf. As a plant matures it will suck the juice out of the lower stuff. Watch the new growth that's really what matters but I wouldn't be surprised if she could use some cal-mag. I've had leaves split before, don't know what causes that. Yellowing on the tips is an indication the nutrient strength is a little high, flushing the plant (over watering it) then leave it for a few days will stop it from continuing but the burnt tips will stay. Wont hurt it. Old yellow leaves are natural as it matures, once the leaf is more then half yellow just remove it. That shiny stuff is probably just something left from an insect.

ok cool im just keeping an eye on her very closely now i try to scour for any pests but i cant seem to find any. Ok i will just keep giving her good amounts of water it seems to take a good 3 qts to get the whole pot wet. But sometimes its not drying all the way out in this case i check the edge of pot moisture and towards the middle and see how it feels. If its still moist i let her go another day without water. Then again if its gonna be a smokin hot day im just gonna water her. Im trying keep her nice and moist but then also be cautious of possible molding. I think the smart pot helps alot tho it sure keeps me from watering her too much. I usually get about a cup of water from what strains if i were to estimate it so i dont beleive im over watering currently but idk lol. Hmm so it could be a calcium/magnesium deficiency? I can definitely get some any idea if local retailers would have that in gardening? Or would it be better to just order some?

Oh and also how much cal mag should i get im sure she dont need much

Yea I don't use a lot of in in my soil grows either. I give them a couple shots beginning of flower and that's it.
I would buy it online and get the smallest size you can to save on shipping, like 1 liter or so. Its good to have around.

I use smart pots too. they do seem to get more oxygen to the roots and dry out faster then regular pots.
What I do is water real good then lift the pot, get an idea how heavy it is wet. Then I check it that way.

That is of course if I'm not using a screen to hold the plants down. (scrog)

Yeah i got those recommended to me. ok will do on the cal mag. Yeah i never really lifted those things while wet
