Just kidding. I live in Georgia, about 30 minutes north of Atlanta. I personally think that I will get atleast a zip. I may be wrong, but that is what I am hoping for. The plants have gained atleast half a foot every time I go to visit them and as they progress, they will eventually reach the max height and then, if they are anything like tomato plants, they get a lot more bush like and thicker stalks. I am confident in them.
You have to take into consideration how small and how stretched they are at this point.
 
If what has been said previously is accurate, then they still have another month and a half of vegetative growth, and the way they have been going, that is a good foot and half putting them at 3 foot or so. Which isnt very high, but in the circumstances, I would be more than happy. Only farming for personal use. Not looking to make money this go round. Next time for sure.

They need more light, otherwise all ur gonna get is a couple stretched out nodes.

The big bud masses come from super sunny locations (roughly 18 hours a day), your plant gets 4 hours of direct light a day. There's also no protection from Bunnies and deer, both of which love to gobble plants.

You get out what you put in. If you are willing to improve the soil, give them some nutrients and cut away vegetation to get them some light then you will get something. Are there 2 plants in each pot? It looks like it. IMO you need to repot them into separate pots with some decent soil, MG organic potting soil will do, or even better I would dig some nice 2x2x2 foot holes and fill the holes with the potting mix and maybe some perlite. The soil has nutrients in it and the big holes will give them room to form some decent roots. Separated, they won't be competing with each other and stangling each other's roots. If this is too much trouble then you're never going to get the results you are looking for. I know that Georgia soil, and it is crap by itself. The pots that you have them in are much too small for one plant, much less two. If you're gonna grow, then grow!
 
Once again, I am not expecting to get 6 zips.... My standards are really low due to the fact that I know I am not putting much into it. I am nervous to repot one of them in fear that I will be damaging the roots more than leaving them where they are will. Leaving them in these pots is what is going to happen, I do not have the time to move them and I dont want to stress myself over whether or not I killed the little shhit by moving it. I also know that there is not adequate lighting, I accept the fact that the turn out may be little and I am fine with that. I just want a little something to show for the amount of risk I have invloved in getting them to my house. Once again, my standards are low. sheesh

Then one of em is gonna choke the other out. If you leave both you might end up with no bud or one stunted plant.

Left as they are, I doubt that they will survive the summer, and if they do you will get little quantity and no quality. I would say that it is a waste of time, but you are contributing so little to their well being, I guess not.

I've found 7 to 8 hrs of direct sunlight to be perfect if you don't want to carry out to many water jugs. They will flower a little earlier as well. Also you need BIG HOLES(2 ft. diameter and a foot and a half deep) filled with the perfect soil. Throw some wood chips on top to retain water and help resist disease and your set to grow some ten footers. Easy peasy
