New grower seeking help & tips for outdoor growing

[travar]

Hello,

Like the thread says I'm a new grower seeking some help and advice.

I plan to guerilla grow outdoors a couple plants next season. So, in order to gain some experience I decided to plant a few ones this year, just to see what it looks like first hand. So, being a newbie that I am, I don't know what strains I planted, I just took the ones I could obtain from the weed I had at hand. I germinated the seeds and planted them outside right away. In this whole process, I didn't use any fertilizer or anything to help the grow, I simply germinated the seeds, planted them and watered them. Most of them were eaten by slugs and died off for one reason or the other, but 2 continued to grow (I think it's because I planted them in pots above ground, so it's possible slugs couldn't get there).

I planted these 2 plants around the 28th of July. I'm aware that the time for planting has passed long ago, and that's probably the reason the plants haven't grown a lot.

I'd really appreciate your help and tips. Some of my questions are:

1. What are these brown and yellow spots on the leaves?
2. Why haven't the plants grown any branches?
3. Is it because of the time of the year that they are this small and haven't grown a lot?
4. Why have some of the leaves withered?
5. I noticed that the flowers have started to appear on the plants. Any chance they'll grow to a size big enough to be cured and smoked?

I'd also appreciate any advice you might have to help me prepare for next season when I'll start proper.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm from SE Europe, we got a continental climate here.

1.)Do you have any means of measuring the pH of your water, these spots could've been caused by your water being too acidic or alkaline.
2.)They're pretty behind for a few weeks old, and they seem to have been stressed to the point where it hasn't reached that point.
3.)This may have attributed to your stunted growth, it would've been a lot better if you started earlier, when you had more hours of sunlight.
4.)That's either from over or under watering
5.)You probably won't get ounces out of them, but if you are able to fix all their problems, they may be able to produce something for you...

Looks like they're being stressed a lot. Those things dont even have five leaf spreads! They will probably end up being male. Did you say you saw flowers?

Unfortunately no, but I've read somewhere that the spots can also be attributed to too much or too little water, and since we've been getting a lot of rain here lately (autumn just began), that might be the reason. At the moment, the soil is really really moist. Also, before the rains got so frequent, the plants have been watered daily.

Yes, the second plant (pics 2 and 3) has a single female flower on the top.

Thanks mate, like I said I've only planted these to see how the plants will develop and to gain some experience. Next season (in the spring), I'll start anew and hopefully with better results.
