My Plant. In the Middle of the Street

What's up brother?
Looks like you have a few issues there, lets see if I can help. ...
I've read LOTS of great advise here to you, so lets go over a few of them.

1) OVER WATERING! these plants like to dry out before they get re-watered. Go fill up another pot with your potting soil ONLY in it, no water. Pick it up, now pick up your pot with the plants in them, see how much heavier the pot with the plants are? I pick up my pots and KNOW if they need watering or not. This is tough to do with seedlings, so when watering your seedlings DON"T drench your whole 5 gallon bucket, just enough water for the seedling, a few ounces. As the plant gets bigger you increase the amount of water you add. You want the roots to search for water. If there's water there all the time for them, they get lazy and don't search for water. Bigger root system equals bigger buds. Make them roots work and search for that water.
2) GOOD SOIL! This is a MUST to grow good plants. You skimp on the soil, you will pay in the end. Big healthy root systems equal BIG FAT FROSTY BUDS! I use FF Ocean Forest and Kelloges Patio Plus (and other goodies) to grow in. Worst case, go to Lowes/HD and pick up that Kelloges Patio Plus for $4.97 a bag (1.5 cu ft) it has lots of good stuff in it.
3) NO FERTILIZERS! If you have soil that has food for the plant already in it, you will need no fertilizers. Wait a month or two to start feeding it fertilizers with your waterings.
4) PATIENCE! Things are sure to start slowly, but in time she'll be growing like crazy! You'll see come 4th of July!
5) WATER DRAINAGE! Make sure you have holes in your pots to drain the water out, and plenty of perlite in your soil. I seen a couple of "pots" that weren't plant pots in your photos, but containers for food storage. Those all need holes for water drainage at the bottom.
6) INCREASE YOUR THC POTENCY! This can't be done. You can only grow to the plants potential. Genetics are in control of potency, all we can do as growers is grow our plants with lots of love, and care and they will produce great fruits for us! They say there are "tricks" that you can do to the plant to increase resin glands like damaging the plant, or exposing the plant to "blue spectrum" light. I just grow my plants to there fullest potential, and I get great results with out these tricks! BIG FAT FROSTY BUDS EVERY TIME!!!!

These are just a few suggestions I have there's plenty more to learn. Just keep reading and in no time you too can be an ultimate grower!;-)bongsmilie:eyesmoke::bigjoint:
Good Luck

Thanks for the advice mate...

They are NOT over watered,just the soil looks like this.I water them once a day or two and I don't think I overwater them
This is a uni 6.5 pH soil which they told me was good for these plants.
I'll make some holes in these pots,and hope that "A change has come to me"
And about fertilizing I haven't done this yet to my babies...they are too young in my opinion.


Once again thanks :leaf:

Its on you. TreeMan broke it down like a remedial english teacher and you still won't take the advice. No one here has mentioned ph but you and yes 6.5 is perfect. You need to let them dry out longer than 2 days unless where you live is 90+ degrees.

You want the roots to search for water. If there's water there all the time for them, they get lazy and don't search for water. Bigger root system equals bigger buds. Make them roots work and search for that water.

+ rep for treemansbuds, i am here to help along and see how they do. also agree with the above poster, outdooor plants are gonna need a good few days at least to dry out.

what temp is the air where you live say mid-day at its peak?

also did i hear you said there isn't any holes at the bottom of your pots? theres your problem buddy you NEED run-off holes..

Hey bro, just reading through and you just need to take the advice thats being thrown at you. Just posted in reply to the + thc question, it can't happen. Just think of seeds (genetics) as an investment. Theres only so much you can do with a rusted nissan micra if you catch my drift. However a tradition i have is to put huge plastic bags, if applicable of course, in the last 2-3 weeks of the grow. To me it means they are growing in there own environment and them juicy colas can't be thrown about by the wind, rain etc. I like the think that when i do harvest that they are dripping with Thc, could be wrong but thats my two cents :) Good lucks man.

Once a day is OVER WATERING! Water once every 3-4 days, or when you see them droop a bit. Remember, make them roots work, watering every day is making the "roots lazy" and not working. If I could just sit on my ass and have everything brought to me, food, clothes, work, ect....that lifestyle would be very unhealthy to me.......just like your plants.
The roots need air, If you have no holes in those pots, and your watering everyday....YIKES!. Please start there, this means you have NO OXYGEN to the roots.....very bad.
Fix these things and your golden (for now).
Good luck

Looking good but a few things I noticed. They look pretty dry and the soil is very compacted and they are at the point now where when you water make sure you get all of the soil and water until a bunch runs out of the bottom. You should probably be watering every 3 or 4 days and once you pick out the male the females should be transplanted into larger containers. The plant in the 1126 pic looks female and the 1229 is MALE. Kill the male and kill it now.

Have you used any nutrients yet? They are at the size now that you can add some so what are you planning to use? I'm going back to look at the pics again to see if sex can bee seen on any others.

OK 1124 is female also. The others don't show yet or the pics are too blurry to see. A transplant and some nutrients are in order for sure

I haven't used any nutrients yet,but I'll surely do if you recommend me the right ones.

And about the watering I'm taking the pictures before I water them,and when I water them I'm doing it until it starts leaking.

Also i've transplated them before one week(as far as I can remember)

:leaf: cheers all,and thanks for the tips :)

P.S. the male one is on the roof and it's very far from the others.

Ok cool. Be careful with the male because all it takes is a little breeze and you are screwed. The pollen is super fine and can travel long distances.

As for nutrients what type are you using on the rest of your garden? It looks like you have plenty of experience growing other things so you cant be too far off unless you are using schultz or Miracle grow. Many people are fanboys and girls of different brands of nutes but a ton of that stuff is just marketing. Do you have a grow shop near where you live or are you shopping online?

I gave the one in the plastic cup to some losers(and that one is a very old photo of it,i've transplanted it and so on and so on)

And I live near a grow shop,but I dunno what proportions to use

and my last question is how can I recognize it what sort it is?
