The Amazing Power of the Sun

I planted a feminized Utopia Haze seed on April 1st, vegged it for 30 days under 400w MH, then began flowering under 600w HPS. I let it go in grow room until day 115 of flower finally giving up on it. It began to flower like a normal plant it just never filled out and developed some actual bud.

So I finally pulled it out of the bucket after trying to harvest what little bud there was and found it to be very root bound as one would expect from a plant that got that big (grow room is 7 ft tall and several tops were brushing it). I had every intention of scrapping the plant but my neighbor's wife wanted to give transplanting it a try. I fully expected her (the plant) to die without a chance of survival. She was transplanted into a hole dug straight into the ground with no additives or soil.

That was back in July. Now, after a few months under natural sunlight with no watering or nutrients (only natural rainfall), she is a monster. With real buds forming this time around. Should be a killer harvest by the end of October.

Ya next time if you plan to do indoors get a bigger pot, use fabric not plastic. If I could grow outside I would. The sun is my god yet the weather most months where I live will not allow me to use it.
 
Don't you mean 1 month of natural light?
Nice save though
More than half of July, all of August, and now most of September puts me at more than a month. I realize I didn't initially clarify that it was near the beginning of July, but even so, there's still August and September.

That was in a DWC system so plastic it has to be. It never should've gotten that big. It just never stopped growing. I had another plant next to her that turned out just fine after 80 days of flower.
