Not much to gauge on it. One thing is for sure, she is gonna be a larfy fucking mess. If you want to try and keep it, feed it. It could just be a natural hemp strain too. It is still too early to tell.
I see no pollen sacks at all yet. Looks like a solid random yard plant. And not sure what MadProphessor is talking bout with "natural hemp" or "larfy mess" but its looking good so far and whatever its been fed is obviously been working just fine with those greens. Just needs more time
The 1st pic looks like it might be. But as the others say... Too early.

Not seeing any sacks.
I fed her some time ago, but now i don't know if I should because it's getting pretty big (@ 2,1m).

It is not a hermaphrodite. I see lots of pistils but no sign of manliness anywhere

I am talking about having knowledge that he found the plant in his yard. Cannabis grows naturally all over the world. From the 20+ years I have been growing, I would say that this plant needs as much help as it can get. It does not appear to be strong genetically (or any other way). The way the buds are forming are more congruent with a monster cropped plant. This is indicative of either weak genetics, natural hemp strain or a starving plant. Which is it? Clearly, you have no idea what you are talking about and need more experience to be able to recognize the difference. Thanks for showing up tho.
OP: It needs more than just time. Feed it as much as you can. I doubt it will produce quality smoke, but you never know. Get some good genetics if you are serious about giving growing a go. You could put a lot of time into this plant only for it to screw you over in the end with it's poor genetics. I would just fuck with it to see what it does.

Listen to MP, his advice is solid. I spent time and money chasing bag seed plants with unknown genes and I got burned more times than not and in the end you cannot make weed more potent/powerful by growing it right. You can make it prettier and improve the bag appeal but tricome production (thc content is controlled by the genes). Now is the time to try this or that like MP suggests. Keep us informed on progress

Bingo! I cloned a plant in flower and this is how I remember it looking. Unsure whether to flower or re-veg but in the mean time it grows a ton of spindly stems everywhere and is all over the map and ended up going to single leafs everywhere. Its still growing today (since February ) and finally growing 3-5 leaf leaves.
Yea. The only reason i keep it it's curiosity. I will feed it and keep you update with the progress on this thread.
It grew too much in height and it can't stand on it's own. I was afraid if I fed it it would take even more height.
Also the other reason for asking is that i want to start growing with auto seeds and i do not want this to corrupt the other plants with it's pollen.
I don't expect much. As i said in the post above, it's just curiosity. I'll keep posting on this thread with progress.
Do you have any pictures?

That is a good plan. The height thing sounds like hemp to me (or Cannabis Sativa, Sativa for the genetically curious) or a heavy Sativa if it is a usable strain.
It could be problematic with the pollen for sure. Just run photos instead and you should have time for this current one to finish before you have to worry about it. That in itself will open up another box of worms for you, but that is for another thread.

Some pics, the last one was a month after cloning

I thought this one will keep growing until september-october, won't it? I don't really want to start with non-auto because i don't have any experience.
I want to buy some auto white widow. Are they newbie friendly?
Mine looks like the third one, and instead of getting bushier it just grew up xD
They look good

In my limited experience photo period plants ( regular pot seeds) are easier and more durable than auto flowering plants. Autos are easily stressed and respond by going into shock lock. Too heavy of fertilizer and your already behind, need to transplant? Forgot it you'll never catch up. R
ecovering from timer issues is slow and slower. This brings about the human response to do something which in turn causes shock to deepen and frustration to build to the "I'm going to break something " point. If you're plan is thought through and laid out and u have contingency plans for every single threat then u can make it work and work well. I'm not anti-auto flower (I'm 0-2) but they are far more work than a regular one. Read, read read and ask more questions. Be patient and be open for suggestions. I'd have at least 5 seeds to start with. Your soil should be rich enough to last the whole grow with minimal amendments. Your container should be deeper rather than wider because when the tap root touches bottom this is one stimulus that triggers flowering. Good roots = good canopy/flowers. Stick with it man and best of luck. My CFL grow in the bathroom
