The plant that wouldnt die...my ghetto grow

This plant started as a bagseed that got thrown in some soil outside when i was high one day. It spent a few months out there before i even knew it was there, then it spent some time in a window while i was trying decide what the hell to do with it. It is in regular topsoil, with some miracle grow pellet things sprinkled in.

This plant is probably around 4 months old, and is like 4 inches tall It wont die. I have totally neglected it, the cat ate off the top of it twice, and it has been sitting in a window for over a month without water, and it is still alive. So i finally decided this plant wants to live, and i am going to help her out.

I have switched her out of the window, under a 45 watt CFL, with one of those metal shop plate things around teh light. She likes it, and has grown like 4 nodes in 2 days. She has been topped twice (by the cat) and just with the CFL the change in her is amazing. Right now she is on the kitchen stove with the CFL about 2 inches above her. WOrking on her grow room, hopefully will have it going by the weekend.

Not sure if she will be male or female, but she is fighting hard to stay alive, so i will give her the benefit of the doubt until she shows me what she is.

that's awesome. have you given her a name?

here are pics of her from a few weeks ago....the cat completely ate the other plant, so there is just one now.

not yet, but i have been thinking about it, havnt found one that "fits" her yet.

will post new pics in a bit.

These are from today, wish i could get better pics, but cam battery is dead so had to use the cell phone. Tons of new growth in the past 2 days. Anyone know if i take her all the way, if it will affect the bud since that she has been growing for sooooo long??

sounds like hope would be a kickass name for her.

sounds good, and def fits. Thanks for naming her for me

Looking pretty nice despite the abuse. I have pretty much the same grow going on... planted a seed outside when I was high one day a few weeks back, she started growing but it's getting really cold out, so I brought her inside and put her under cfls. Good luck!

well Hope is doing great, really need to get some more lights, i started flowering 2 days ago, and am still using cfl's. I have 3 75 watt cfl's on her now, but she really needs more, just no funds for it until next week. She is very healthy and thriving, just the middle is kind of not as bushy as i would like. She recovered nicely from the last topping the cat gave her. She is still starting a lot of new growth, but for various reasons, i cant let her get much bigger (veg wise) that is why i decided to start flowering.

i am a little worried "she" is a "he" ....but i guess i will find out soon enough. I shouldnt care so much, since she was an accident, but i have come to love the little shit and will be a little disappointed if i have to kill her/him/it.

i will get a pic up in a little bit.

If you like Hope so much don't discriminate, let HIM live too! If you are growing him on the stove, you're not too worried about it, put him in a pot and back in the window seal.

Just jokin, I realize that the pollen can journey to the new grow room and screw your crop. I just always feel the hate, towards the boyz.

Good luck I hope HOPE makes it!! (and is a girlie girl too!)

LOL this is just amazing ...absolutely made my day..an amazing story
thanks AmythePothead

i can only hope there is just an amazing strain with amazing smoke
therefore...
if its a male make sure you get the pollen
if its a female make sure you get some seeds or clones

this plant must pass her blood

keep us posted!
this is a thread i will definitely subscribe

aww thanks. He/she IS amazing even if she does end up with balls. It def reminds me mj is just a weed, and you dont have to have all the expensive shit to make her grow.

ahh hope is my only plant right now, so i dont really have to worry about it. Hubby said let it grow in the window if its a dude, it will give the place some character

well i tied its sides down today, so hopefully the middle can get a little love from the lights too. I also put 2 pieces of white cardboard around it, a box under it, and added a cfl for the side.(normally it is much closer, moved it for the pics) Since its growing on the kitchen stove, it tends to get moved around a lot, but doesnt seem to bother it too much. Still not sure about the sex, nothing obvious yet.

pics from today..did i do the tie thing right? can i still tie even though i started 12/12 already?

one more pic...not sure if you can see it, but there is a spot on the top nodes of this one that i am not sure if it is tiny new growth or pistils starting...wishful thinking i know

i also added a fan 24/7 today...i was using one before, but not all the time.

Thats the way, steady progress. VV

keep on keepin on girl!

thanks guys

It is starting to look like Hope is a girl after all. what do u all think? Another day or so and i should know for sure.
