a nice shady cool spot, you woulda had it somewhere sunny to begin with, so now you have to cover it and put it in the shade, cover it and make sure it shouldnt get exposed to direct high temps again to finished it.

i highly advise continuing with what you started the plant would just be used to that by now..

also if your no good with hammer nand nails make a tubed frame out of pvc piping some joiners or strong tape... id get the joiners needed. i wouldnt use a cardboard box tho...

why would i use a jointer...to make a frame....i usually smoke my joints :D
anyway...im fairly happy with what im doing now, and since this is a stealthish outdoor,(my parents are in on it, its just the land lord). soo if i would put a frame over it, too much attention.
thanks tho.
umm i have been doing this (putting in the closet for 12/hrs) for about a week and i think new pistols are comming in..not like the stipules....more comming in the nook, from the node....not at the sides of the node like stipules.
will post more pics upp soon!

well, well pretty much my dads a Gardner,sooo we planted a shit load of plants withs tons of colour and height..and all the plants are in the middle.
i have one question to clarify , how many stipules are suppose to grow on each node, because i have those stipules you pointed out,,and then 2 more whiteish ones comming out of the same node..time to sex or what.( flowering for about 1-1.5 weeks)

pics??? if not do they look kinda like the diagram on page three it will show you what a female pistol looks like...

and two per new branch shooting generaly or 4 per node. you should be able to tell the differance beetween a pistol and a stipule when they pop up now u know about stipules.... so if your thinking there pistols they probably are....

just a question....when the female flower come in, they form like a small little circle, in the nook of the node, and then the 2 hairs come out right?......

umm not sure what you mean.

just wait till you see a pistil or some balls, or both

if it gets pollen sacks might be a good idea to destroy it and start again next season, or if you want a small plant plant another one strait away if this one shows signs of being a boy....

the best thing would be to just wat and see if a pistol pops out. i dont understand what you mean and its hard to explain if you havent seen a plant grow before.. like i said id grown a few before i notice the stipules maself...

that was just an example of what i say u relly have to see and experience to fully understand lol... ive also seen people who have been growing for ages make the same mistake lol.

yeah they look sativa dominant to me. but ya never know might be a nice mix

i maself preffer indica, not saying i dont mind the odd sativa or good mix bit i really like indica dominant strains.... depends on ma mood to really tho. i get chronic pain and i find this works best to ease that pain, but fucks ya when you wanna do shit lol.

Sativa....
this wil give you an uplifting energetic high, generally quite cerebral and trippy in nature :)... also produces the tallest out of the two plant strains with capabilities to reach 6+ foot easily as to its taller reachy growth. some easilly growing easilly a dam sight taller than that..

Indica
this plant generally packs the bigger punch out of the two and will give you that couchlock like stoned where your bodies heavy and you lose all inhibition :) the shorter of the two strains often really short and rarely reaching 6 foot. buds are generally more crystaline packed with THC..

a good choice is to get a mix they combine the two giving you bigger more potent plants normaly,

it depends yon flower times and what not as to when you plant them and how you can get 4 turnovers a year , 1 turnover a year, or two turnovers a year depending on when you plant... "you should be able to figure it out..(thats the beauty about australia) generally when you plant its gona bud at the next time it experiences a lesser season really. this depends on where you are too dont forget.. i maself have noticed the seasons are changing atm (a heap of other people agree) so sorry i couldnt tell u exactly when tho.

or you could try find Kogs calander lol. youll have to buy his book or dvd first to get it lol..

P.s
a lot of sativas such as haze and thai like the winter here better than the sun... meaning they actually do better with some shade in summertime :)

PEACE :)

ok well i just cut the 12/12 to 12/11.5..
remember we talked about this before?
soo now im bringing it in at 7:00pm instead of 7:30pm.
but i was wondering should i put it back out at 7:00am..or 6:30am?
(tonight brought it in at 7:00pm, for the 1st change in cycle)

put it out at the same time but u could put it out later if you want...

yeah my advice would be to slowly give it less time outside tho...

id do what your doing if i was you. i wouldnt put it out later or earlier till you understand what your doing....

id have to agree with DontBogart
you had to be using miracle grow too... a good way to judge your plant is to look at it and understand it and what its craving for....

i like miracle grow maself hasnt done me wrong... you just gotta keep in mind it can be strong and kill your plnts, thats y we say less is more, specially with MG..

now fish emulsion
i have used this on babies and they lived just fine on the contrary the BOOMED.. for smaller ones i start with 10 ml in 1/2 liters and build it up from there to 40/50 ml 8 liters or less depends on the plants and what they need.
my plants could easly have some every second watering if not every... but this i dont want to do... im using it more for its nitrogen boost atm... just to help keep it green and thriving.

im going to be getting thrive soon k,mixing it with my miracle grow and some nitrogen and getting a nice mix one day hopefully... the seasol has really been helping nitrogen levels in my soil ill be a faithfull seasol user forever. but i really am just gonna be using nitrogen soon so yeah ill be using the sdeasol once in a blue moon.

by the looks of it yours needed some nitrogen perhaps as well so i dont see y your plant got so wrecked (level with me it was likely MG right. you did dilute the fish emulsion didnt you lol.
what you need to do is look a5t the plant, basically feel for it, be the plant think what you really think it would benifitt from and handle in its sitcho. there an easy plant to grow with a bit of common sense, and thats y its better to follow the rule less is more

yea...i kinda took a 600ml coke bottle 4-5 drops of fish emulsion, and the rest water..
i know it wasnt MJ, because i didnt use it at the time i was using the emulsion.
ok soo help me out here.
i like to keep all my nutes in 600ml coke bottle :D.
.soo how much would i mix with 600ml coke bottle.
i have fish emlusion. Earth care's Seasol

the plant will want and need more as it grows....

might pay to leave your water out to sit being in a city. higher ph and chlorine count... letting it sit helps the shit level out...

i start of with 10 ml to 2 litre =1 cap or a little less.. when the plants small treat it like the ferns and then as it gets bigger treat it like the other bigger plants it specifies..... i generally wait till my plant shows signs of needing that little something extra that its starting to lack....

i seriously dont see how the fish emulsion fucked it unless your soil was fine already. like i said the plantt will tell you when its time
ie when the leaves get lighter green amd start to look dodgy i find this a good time to apply a Little bit of seasol.

so for your 600 ml bottle might be safe to say start of with a little till you know how strong th stuff is.... like i said i use it for the nitrogen boost and thats all.. you have to get used to judging the plant when you do this the way i do... if not just
reead the instructions and relate the plant to a smaller plant ie ferns t start with and work it from there..

did this make sense to you...
