Thanks for your advice...always appreciated! I probably will not transplant them this far into their growth so as to not disturb them in any way. I did have one planted in a smaller pot by itself (I let the germinating seedling get a little dry and it was what I called a dwarf), but that ceramic pot broke and I transplanted it into a bigger pot. I learned in my horticulture class a decade ago that it can help to score the roots a bit when transplanting so, not knowing if this was the case with cannabis, I tried it. It’s been a week and it’s doing very well. Anyhow, this is my first attempt at growing outside of throwing seeds in the ground as a teenager...lol. I chose to be very simple about the process as I’m very busy, hence the cheap Dollar General medium and single pot. Having OCD, if I didn’t choose this simple method, I would have been all in and everything else in my life would have suffered...lol. If this experiment proves productive, I am considering an indoor crop to which I will afford more time and money toward, but still as simple as possible. I’m certainly no expert, although I know what I like...lol, but it’s a challenge I’m enjoying and that seems to be satisfying enough at the time. I’m content that I can always purchase the stuff the real experts have devoted their lives to...lol, albeit it’s ridiculously expensive at the recreational level. I’m pretty sure this will change as our State just went rec legal, etc.Hey Archie
The girls look good....i'm kinda curious about the number of plants you have in one pot. If it was me I'd get bigger pots,1 for each 5 gal and transplant them ASAP. Each plant will get about 2"-3" in dia and you should be ready to get them indoors before frost. also the sunlight has started to diminish which triggers things within the plant...unless you know about a new technique or something??? also just my 2 cents
And yes, I’m prepared to bring them indoors when it looks like frost is in the forecast. I’m at a real disadvantage up here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula as the summer season is considerably shorter and, being in the middle of the woods, I’m lucky if they get 6 hrs. of direct sunlight at Summer’s peak. So, I’m doing what I can with what I have and hoping for a turnout that will motivate me to proceed more professionally, if you will. Really have to watch for mold up here, too...when the sun isn’t direct, it can get really humid and the nights are prone to excessive dew...ugh. In closing (I’ve pretty much started a book here...lol), I will tell you that I have yet to identify a male plant out of the lot...plenty of hairs coming out of the flowers, but no pollen sacs. I’m watching daily now, and being mindful of the occasional herme. It’s possible that the seeds my medicinal grower gave me are feminized, but I don’t have that kind of luck...lol. Again, thanks for your advice...it’s always welcomed!
