Here is where I started: https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/66500-how-am-i-looking-so.html

I started some plants indoors and planned to move them outside once the weather was good. In the process I've made a few noob mistakes and a few stupid ones too. I took out two babies while moving them. Both fell and the stems were broken beyond repair. I had one plant that I put into the ground and killed it with nutes. I also broke the main stem on a plant (perfect female:cry:) while trying to bend it. I broke a good foot off the plant. Oh and I also mixed up my labels so I really don't know what strain each plant is. I have two types of seeds, so it's a 50/50 shot on what I'm actually growing. This is just a small first time personal grow.

So here is the garden grow. Hopefully everything works out. So far I have learned that my judgement on spacing was probably way off. They are in the middle of my tomato plants and I'm assume that more space would be better.
They are still growing really well. Almost too well. If I hadn't been tying them down they would be taller than my tomatoes right now. You can see the picture of the stem that it's bent. My main worry right now is the flowering stage. I've read that they will be getting even bigger!!

I've been using MG, but I will soon be using FF grow big and I got some fish emulsion so I can foliar feed the garden. Flowering stage I will be feeding with molases.

In the pics the small plant by itself is the one that I broke a foot or so off of. She seems to be doing ok. I might FIM or top the two stems and see what happens.

The baby was just an extra seed that I tossed into a pot and figured I'd have one plant that was extra small.

You can tell if you get close to the garden. My biggest issue (and I shouldn't be complaining) is the fact that they just keep growing and growing! I bend them and a week later they are just as tall. I tie branches down and another branch is now towering over everything.

If I had to guess I would say without LST and constant bending/tying, the one plant would easily be over 7ft tall at this point. The idea of growth during flowering is a little stressful.

The one thing I didn't think of when going with a garden grow is nutes. Since the veggie plants are at a certain point in their growing cycle they do not need extra nutes. My tomato plants are easily 6 1/2-7ft tall mutants!

GIRLS OR BOYS?

I circled what I think is the hair that a female plant would have.

Also I am correct that these are not showing pre-flowers yet?

Thanks :bigjoint:

I have to do some serious tying tomorrow. Even with the LST in the beginning and tying some branches, they just get higher and higher.
A few of the hangers that I had in the soil were pulled out of the soil by the larger branches.
Way beyond anything I thought I could grow as a noob. Hopefully they will start to flower soon!

Males or hermies? Two of the plants are starting to bud but they also look like they have balls
