Need some assistance.

Since the chat room folks wanna be unhelpful little lamers, I'll try here.

And I know there's a "plant hospital" forum, but figured I'd post here since I'm new and it's my first grow. So please bear with me.

I'm having a problem. Have a plant that's been growing since mid to late May.
Haven't used anything but Miracle Gro soil, water, and sunlight. It's been growing fairly well and high.
My two issues are this.
One:
Yellowing of the leaves (yes I know this has probably been addressed many a time on here, but didn't feel like scrolling through everything trying to find it) like fan leaves mainly, I know it's normal for some of them to yellow and die off, but a few around the flowers are getting mildly yellow. Is this normal? I've read about "flushing" but don't think I'd need to do that since I haven't used any chemicals or additives (other than ones already in the soil) so just wondering if the plant is dying, or if there's an impediment going on that I can correct or what. And if it's not dying how long does it usually take for it to fully bud? Only reason I ask this is because some of the produce from the buds/flowers looks mighty piddly, other than that it looks healthy and dark green aside from the yellowing.

Two:
On a couple of the branches I've found several clusters of unopened buds. They look healthy and green , and have singular white and/or orange hairs extending from them. That's what lead me to believe they aren't pollen sacs because they aren't yellow and have the little hairs. The point of this part is , how long does it take those buds to open up after flowering , and what should I do to keep tabs on them to make sure they are thriving and healthy?

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Yellowing is normal, and during flowering is generally a nitrogen deficiency. If its around the bud sights though it generally just means the buds are taking energy from the leaves to better produce the bud. As for the buds not opening, pictures would really help because buds are never really closed. Pistols show where the buds will start but don't really enclose the bud.

oh dude i didn't even read past the first sentence lol those "lamers" are admin, experienced growers etc, it specifically says when you join the chat room that it's not for questions and if you have questions, to post them here

enjoy getting yer arse kicked lol

If your flowering use sum MG bloombooster until about a week or 2 before you think it will be ready and then use just plain oxygenated water until harvest.

Aqua,
Gotcha, I plan on posting some pics when it's daylight out. Not trying to "shock" the plant while it's in dark cycle.

kmoo,
I don't give a damn who they are, they're rude pricks that need to get over themselves. By all means, bite me Bubba.


Potsmokinbastard,

No idea what that is man. Enlighten me please.

Potsmokin,


Nevermind man, I googled it. So is it pretty much just like a nutrient based plant food? Do you think the problem is lack of nutrients, or could it be possible over watering?

Well as previously stated it is normal during last stages of budding but Ive noticed my leaves staying green until harvest when I use the bloom booster MG stuff. I usually mix as directed for house plants , they supply a lil measuring cup its about half a teaspoon per gallon of water and I spray it directly on and under the leaves 1 or 2 times dailey. In a 5 gallon pot I water once every week or 2. I use a lil air stone to keep my water oygenated, helps a lil I believe, Thats my experience. But your hps and mh light would be great to use together during flowering. They both work well. Its almost impossible to get fert burn. I never have.

Well, it may be a lost cause. After closer inspection, what I thought were bud clusters, were actually seed casings. I followed the plant's progression and it exhibited all the characteristics of a female plant, but I think it may be male or a hermaphrodite plant. Then I found some pollen in a hidden spot. Had a male in there but guess I didn't yank it soon enough.
So I guess I should just yank the fucker and start over ?
Oh well, back to square one.

Not sure what to do. I looked up pics of male plants, and there's not "banana" looking flowers, they look like normal flowers, with orange and white hairs, and there's crystals on the leaves, the pollen sacks are in like 2 or 3 places. What I need to know now is should I just yank it up since there's those few pollen sacks and seeds growing? Or is it in some way salvageable, or do I just need to say forget it?

Since your plant is already pollinated, you might as well enjoy what you have. The bud will still be smokeable - just seedy, and not quite as potent as it would have been. Also - since it pollinated itself, don't keep the seeds - all you'll grow is other hermies. Once it's done though, take everything out of your flowering room, and give it a thorough scrubbing, to remove any traces of pollen left in there - don't wan't to ruin future grows!

I appreciate the advice man. But honestly, I'm not even sure if it's going to bud or not. Been waiting and waiting to see some kind of output, but all I've seen so far is the flowers and seeds. So I dunno what the hell to do.

Alot of you problem could be the MG soil you used. That may be the yellowing as well could be the time released soil overferting your plant. But yea if it looks like actual flowers it was probably a male plant that has totally opened up already. And with your rude response to Kmoo its no wonder why you don't stick around in the chat that long. You really need to be more chill bro. I think if you put off bad karma you will recieve bad Karma. Just a thought and good luck with your future grows and thanks for posting here! This is the place for help. Got alot of great people here.

I don't know where you are located, how big of pots our plants are in, how much DIRECT sunlight they get or any of the other very important factors to help you out.

I will tell you this though. Going into a chatroom and asking questions when it says specifically that's NOT what it's for and then bitching about it in a thread when you are clearly too lazy to take a damn picture and post it so people will know what the hell you are talking about, is not okay.

You have had these things planted since May, but you don't have any substantial flowers? These plants can't look that healthy, they should be done or almost done. There's a good chance you've got "nanners" because these plants should've been done already. If they aren't mature by now man, they aren't going to get much better.

Show us your scraggly little plants to go with your scraggly reading comprehension, scraggly desire to seak answers and your soon to be scraggly wallet from having to BUY bud.

You should post pics regardless and find out what's wrong with them so next year you don't waste another 5 months of your life watching a plant produce nothing.

Yourlocal.

Short term memory much? You were one of the ones running your mouth. So goddamn lame being so anal over a friggin chat room. The little "notification" you and others keep going on and on about, guess what, IT NEVER POPPED UP. So get the hell over it. By the way, Ali G, and everything Sacha Baron Cohen does, is lame and idiotically stupid and only funny to people who are easily amused and have limited intelligence.

Laser,
Lazy? Hardly. I just started posting on here yesterday dickweed. I was just trying get some substantial advice from people who knew what they were talking about before I went through the trouble and time of taking a picture, you know, trying to decide if it was even worth it. And my reading comprehension is just fine thanks. So why don't you tone down your condescening attempt to be some kind of wanna be Billy Badass. And if you wanna run that trap, come on out to VA and I'll show you how "lazy" and "scraggly" I am when I'm bustin you in the mouth. Loudmouth cocksucking piece of shit. Go fuck yourself.

Nah, I don't have to. I know how to grow pot. So do the other people that are pissed off at you.....you have no answers.

I'm not worried about your sorry ass in VA that can't grow plants, I wouldn't bother bustin' you in the face, you're not a bother to me.

The reason no one is helping you:

"I was just trying get some substantial advice from people who knew what they were talking about before I went through the trouble and time of taking a picture, you know, trying to decide if it was even worth it"

If ain't worth it you, it ain't worth it to me. If you're not going to be "bothered" with taking a picture, you'll NEVER successfully grow Marijuana, so keep buying it.

let it go to seed, seeds are good and the smoke is better than nothin,acclimated seeds are best.

quit with the purse fight

A female plant that is pollinated by a male still grows bud, it just will have seeds in the bud at sections where the pollination occurred. So my vote would be towards letting it finish.

2much,

Thanks man , I appreciate your response. You and the others who have been civil. Good to see that not everyone on here is a dick.

Laser,

You have an awfully big mouth for such a little "man." Keep talkin that shit from a distance, if you ever grow some balls by all means come out this way and let's see if you have the guts to talk your shit to my face.
And you can grow, good for you, doesn't change the fact you're a completely worthless piece of shit and waste of oxygen.
Eat a bullet shitstain.
