Hello fellow growers,
This is my first time growing, and i bought these lovely ladies as clones. The smaller, shriveled, not so "good looking" plant is an Indica, L.A. Confidential, and the more full looking, is a Sativa, Super Lemon Haze.

As you are all probably thinking, the Indica in particular looks incredibly poorly?
I had performed a transplant in which i dropped it .. (i know :sad:) about a month ago, but the worst that happened was a few dead leaves, which i plucked (which is now making her look so bare).

It's been about 2 or 3 months now, they're still so small. i feel like i'm doing everything right?

(i'm in california) and they get as much sun as shines during the day, and i water them every other day unless the soil is still very moist. i use EarthGro potting soil. theyre both in about 5 gallon pots.

Any suggestions? Comments? need any more info? (2 pics of indica, 1 of saliva)


oh lastly, there's often ants on my plants... is this any kind of problem at all? haha

thanks -Nick​
Actually ants by them selves usually aren't a problem but they are in fact many cases a sign of a larger problem. Ants will typically feed on nectar that plants will have on the underside due to an aphid infestation. Aphids cling on the bottom of your leaves and suck all the nutrients out. This could easily be whats stressing your plants. Take that into consideration next grow buddy.

That would make sense, i had a spider mite infestation, which i cleared out with a jabanero/water mixture i made, but i hadnt used it as it seemd they had totally cleared off, and i wasnt seeing webbing. They must have returned, good catch. thanks.

next grow should be a more controlled, indoor grow. planning on CFL, maybe a little cabinet set up. or i'll get a grow tent
