Need advice from outdoor growers

Armyofsprout · Aug 26, 2019

Ok so here's my issue. I'm an indoor grower. I ran out of space in my grow tent about a month ago so I put a plant in my back patio. I can't grow outdoors because of legal issues and I stay above the ground floor so I don't wanna really get spotted by police when this thing starts to flower....I had no knowledge of outdoor growing and thought I had more time for my indoor plants to finish and then I was gonna take this one back inside and flower it to completeness.

Well nature struck and it look like it naturally hit flower mode. Pistols just started showing this week. I dint really have a discreet place to grow it outside and I maybe have about 4 more weeks left before harvesting my indoor plants.

I'm concerned about multiple things here. 1 is now budrot from rain if it rains on the buds. 2 is the smell once it starts to bud. I'm scared the odor will alert the neighborhood and the authorities. Also 3, whats the best way to take a plant back indoors without worring about pests. I have captain Jack's spray but I heard it's not good to spray on a plant once it's in flower.

Any advice?

It's already in plain sight of the parking lot. If you were trying to keep it under wraps you've already pooed the scrooch.

100% this, take it inside and kill it unless you want to be caught. See those yellowing leaves at the bottom? All its going to take is for one of those to fall off and it'll start making people look up, if they haven't already. Keep it indoors. Don't get greedy, way too risky.

You don’t know anyone locally who grows who could take it?

Absolutely yes, Bud rot aka boytritis. Is your #1 threat outdoor. 2. If ya got law enforcement or Ripper concern... Then Flat out don't risk it.... ya can still take a clone at 2 off your plant into budding stage fyi. Or else make space in a back room of your place. Watch for micro bugs on leaves n buds, as those lil fuckers are even worse than the federali'es. :peace:

I live in Texas, Bug's, Heat, Rain knocking trich's off Bullshit Outdoor Conditions. It was an adventure back when I had German Shepherds and hauling Nutes 10 Gal @ a time. Harvest was always around the 29th of Sept. I won't even cross My Yard with a plant nowadays because one little mite can ruin everything. Don't let one extra get ya Busted.....I used to plant extra cuttings in My friends Yards but no'one took care of them...

I have a glass patio door connected to that porch which sees a lot of sunlight through it. Do you think if I put the plant on the inside of the door that the sunlight would penetrate through the glass enough to keep it growing? There probably won't be a smell yet for a few weeks. I hit week 7 of flower of my indoor plants on Thursday sooo I'm guessing I can harvest in about 2-3 weeks. Which might work out with enough time for me to bring it indoors. The stretch definitely is happening and it exploded over night tho. But we aren't near the smell stage yet. I put it to the side out of the way of street view for now. It's a little less sunlight but it should be enough to hold it over

Light through glass is slightly filtered, but is still more intense than most grow lights. You would have to turn it every day or every other day though, unless you want more vigorous growth on one side. If you're far enough out from it starting to smell I would go for it. You might want a non grower friend who knows you grow come around to take a sniff every few days.

Thanks. I kept it outside but put it to the side. Just sucks cuz the side I had to put it on has more flying bugs

Absolutely, Sure lots of people grow damn fire plants in an inside patio setting. But the glass will only give ya bout 70-80% light transmission. As another fellow kinda mentioned. THE NATURAL SUN BEST... bongsmilie

OK update. My lemon ice strain is 7 weeks into flower and the trichomes are looking pretty good. I think I can harvest in a week or two. I didn't get my loupe until after I fed them today, so I didn't realize how far along it was. Can I start flushing with pure water tomorrow? Just so my plant isn't full of nutes when I chop. I need to run another week of two with no water but I feel like an idiot for just feeding it
