About 6 weeks in to my First grow

MikeyKNOWITALL · Sep 14, 2024

first time growing, due to my situation I’m going in and out with the plant I have it outside anytime I can, otherwise it’s inside in the window. In about 6 weeks in wondering if this is about right or not. It’s night in the picture so don’t mind the wilting. Any suggestions would be REALLY appreciated

Plant looks pretty good mate. Bit small for 6 weeks. I'd start pulling her over a bit while still flexible enough to build a flat canopy, although that depends if you're going to flower indoors or outdoors, if outdoors not really any need depending on location etc.

You gotta explain to me like I’m a little kid here haha, what do you mean “pulling her over a bit” and “canopy”? I’ve just been googling everything as I go

Ahhh fly by the seat of your pants eh, learn as you grow LOL. He means LST look it up. MJ need long intense light, at this rate your gonna have a very tall skinny plant that may even be a male if it's bag seed. I'd leave it outside if your weather is good. Are you in the USA? Cause some folks can harvest their plants now and Oct.

During veg plants are flexible enough to train them into the shape you require to prepare for flowering. During flowering plants can triple their size, so if you don’t have a flat canopy (all tops around the same height) then the lower branches will be much further from the light, resulting in poor yields and the main cola growing very tall etc. If outdoors this isn't usually an issue as the sun provides light from different angles throughout the day.

I live in a condo association with mosey ass people I’m already surprised some hasn’t felled me.

I totally agree with the previous posts on training the plant a bit. Before that however, you may wanna think about transplanting her into a larger pot that will allow the root structure to expand…..”big roots equals big fruits”….
Once u can get her into a pot large enough to finish the grow, start training by gently bending over the main branch. Having a good size ( I use 5gal) pot will allow U to tie the main stem to the rim of the pot with some sort of string or flexible tie down.
The purpose is to open up the lower and inside bud sites to more direct light; and to create flatter canopy, where all the sites get a similar level of light intensity.
U can see in the pic below, this plant was actually topped first, which created 2 main branches. Then the side branches were bent and tied down to open her up.
When growing inside the light is not rotating like the sun and only blasts light straight down.
Trust me, your yield will increase substantially based on the equal distribution of light from a flat canopy.
The second pic shows that plant further into the grow and how those lower & inside sites have filled in and resulted in a plant with tons of tops.
