Bit of sad news from the past week, I had to rip my girl up out of the ground as someone found the plot she was in and released all the ties and threw them back over the plant.
No animal or winds could have done this as one particular weight had rocks wrapped inside it that only a human could pick up.
I transplanted(ripped her straight out of the ground with my bare hands) then put her into garbage bags then mover her away.
So far after 4 days since the transplant she's still looking great with no problems.
She has about 2-3 weeks to go.
These things happen, nothing is a given when your guerilla growing. Im just glad I still have her and she dosent seem to be stressed. I am amazed time and time again at how resilliant these plants are
FYI we've been having heaps of rain in sydney the past 2-3 days. We had our monthly rain fall in 1 day
Concerns now are for mould, but hopefully the weather gets better in the next week.
Sorry to hear about that happening! I would be well gutted. At least the person didn't destroy your plant though. They probably weren't trying to cause harm, but better safe than sorry is my motto, so you were right to move it. I'm surprised it survived being ripped out of the ground - shows how resiliant weed (which is a weed after all!) is!
You regular posters here are absolutely amazing growers and so insanely knowledgeable. We're lucky to have the few of you that we do, I hope my gorilla grow goes well, it's almost time to scatter seeds in some common area woods... Just not sure if I want to bother with chicken wire around some or not.
Get 4 posts (you can buy decent galvanised fence posts from DIY stores) and thread it through good quality zinc-plated chicken wire that won't rust. This is essential if you don't want your plants to be pillaged.
If you're growing in a container I would wrap copper tape around it, since slugs are not able to get past the copper without burning themselves to shit. You could also sprinkle iron-based organic slug pellets (make sure it is organic and not some harmful cheaper version!).
I would also piss around your plants since animals don't like going near human urine. It's a good fertilizer too (I spray piss all over my garden on a regular basis and use it as a compost accelerator). Don't worry about smells as it breaks down rapidly.
This year I'm going to trial a product called 'Lion's Roar', which are pellets infused with the essence of Lion's dung and urine I think. Pretty much any animal will be put off this if they get a whiff!
Hey, also, I had to reformat my computer,
I lost all of my bookmarked pages, I was wondering if someone could PM me a few sites for seeds, Only one I could remember off the top of my head.)
Thanks again, and sorry Ive been off and gone for so long.
And here's the pic I just took, leaves look as if they are pointing upwards, not really too sure why, Its been pretty cold, but temps have been pretty consistent.
Leaf curling could be a sign of a bad watering schedule. That's just one possibility. They don't look bad at all though, so I wouldn't worry.
I would get a max/min thermometer so you know what the lowest and highest temperatures are and will have a better idea of whether it's getting too hot or cold at some point during the day. These are indespensible in any indoor cannabis garden. They're cheap too!
Thanks for the tip mate diden't know that....Do you think the tin shed will be fine for reflection?Or should i get some mylar or somthing?Once i get the setup done im gonna take a photo of my plants each day and make a slidshow from seed to harvest :D so theres plenty of pics to come
I've got 2 seeds left over from my first successful grow and mostly indica..... very heavy stone type of shit that glues you to the couch kinda looked like the plant your growing great yeild 31/2 per plant and i've got plenty of mostly sativa im gonna grow 2 seeds of the sativa and 1 indica and my dads gonna grow the same let you guys decide whos is better
If you want to cut costs, get a tin of matt white paint, as it reflects light very effectively (almost as well as mylar, interestingly). It has to be mat and not shiny though, as this diffuses the light better, avoiding hot spots.
Mylar can be expensive but is definitely worth it in the long run. If you can't afford it, go for the matt white paint and save up for the mylar for the next grow or something.

One of my Frisian Dew seeds has already popped! That means it took less than 3 days to pop - amazing. I love Root Riots! The main reason why they're better than peat pellets (which are also excellent, partly because they're cheap but also because you can buy them in normal garden centres rather than having to buy them through mail order) is because you don't get some seeds germinating one day and the rest germinating two weeks later - with Root Riots they all germinate roughly at the same time, which is handy if you want predictable results.
The weather here where I live in the UK is so nice at the moment that I'm tempted to move all my plants outside during the day and then just bring them back indoors at night when the temperature drops. My greenhouse is almost completely ready, meaning I'll be able to use it in the next couple of days, at last. I'm going to try and fit autovents tomorrow so that I have better control over the temps.
I'm a bit worried that my cannabis plants in the greenhouse will get rediculously large with me putting them out so early, meaning the chances of getting caught will increase a lot. I might have to move them to do a guerrilla grow and just take cuttings to grow into plants in the greenhouse later in the year, like around July. That means that they won't veg in the greenhouse for too long and their by the time they flower their size will be more manageable. Hopefully the tomato plants that I will have in there will get so big they'll obscure the cannabis from view.
Stick in there mate.
when you planted the clone did you place it directly in the sun?Just a thought i could have shocked the plant....idno?
