yeah i went out there and looked at them, I :
A: inspected the plants based on you guys info to see if topping them is practical, and decided that its not good time, stunting will interfere with my plant harvest. instead i will LST one of them, i found a nice LR2 that has some seeds (YAY!!) growing on the buds bases, which would upset some, but i love LR2, and want to grow it forever.. i know that its LR2 based on i have one male LR2 in the garden(only one male!!, and this particular female is a LR2 so breeding is prefered between them. but anyways, i LSTed her, looooking good!!
this is what i did to them::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
1- gave the alaskan fish emulsion ferts, 2-3-1
2- secured the fence around the plants, good, so that the fish stuff doesnt attract any scummy animals(will it??? does anyone know??)
3- foliar fed them with BONIDE tomato & blossom set spray 'speeds harvest'
4- cleaned around the site just to respect the woods
5- LSTed one of the plants, it is the largest, and budding is doing considerably AWESOME on it, i need some pictures!!
6- layed down 3 pounds of SLUG AND SNAIL KILLER, brand : BUG-GETA by ORTHO
SUMARRY, i am glad with my grow so far, even with all the catastrophies outdoors brings... i have 8 decent females, and 11 all together females + 1 male LR2. i know that i am not getting nearly as much as i wanted, but am happy with the results so far, i understand that i do not have all LR2 plants, but a variety, and dont care too much.. the buds are coming in nicely, and it seems that they just started really, REALLY soaring in growth, which is exciting. im in my 5th week. i know 8 weeks is impractical, but 11 will be closer, which will be in 7 weeks from now, and still is earlier than all my friends. i knew around the 11 week time period was what i was looking at from the start so thats not a disapointment at all.
QUESTIONS : (if you know the answer, please answer with details, i like to know why and how... thank you soooo much!!)
1 - will the fish emulsion stuff attract unwanted animals like dogs, or wolfs or badgers or w.e ?
2- since i left a male in there if i remove it this weekend, will being pollinated affect all of the marijuana plants buds from now on?
3 - i layed down alot of the slug killer stuff, will that wash away with rainfall?
