How is this plant going????

Hello there, these plant is 5-6 months old. I'd like to read some opinions about it. It's a natural girl, plain Sun and everything. I thought it'd be ready by sept-oct, and it may be, but some of its "buds" (if you can call them that way because they measure no more than a human finger) are now totally brownish. Some others still show lots of white or clear pistils, but some have the total branch showing brown (kinda dead) pistils. should i cut them out? should i leave them as they are? I wouldn't like to cut the whole branch, brcause i don't have more seeds. It would be better just to peel the branch's flowers and leafs and wait for new leafs and flowers to grow in it. but i'm no expert.

What do you recon?

Check the photos.

 

honestly it does not look like a variety to carry on progeny with.Get some better seed stock and try again.Is that the same plant you have had numerous probs with over the last 6 months?

 

Oh i thought the girls were doing fine. Yeah it's the same plant. The prob is that i'm afraid to get some commercial seeds. These come from a smoke i had on december. Real good. I'm not sure if potent (cause i'm not a pro smoker) but 3/4 of a joint gave me some 4 hours of strong reaction, the last hour i even felt kinda bad and with cold hands and feet. It was too much i guess.

Hmmm....so, what is that you see is not woorking on my plannts? Are the buds too small? not a nice color or the leafs?

I'm so glad someone like you (veteran) can help me and give me advice about my babies.

Cheers !

 

it looks like a hermie to me.. hard to tell with the picture quality..

 

not really a whole lot you can do with it now except just let it grow untill harvest. next plant you start, you should split the stalks slightly down the middle when they are just about 6 to 12 inches high and the single plant will grow into two plants, do it again when the two start growing strong so those will grow into 4 plants from one stem. that will help the plants grow more bushy and thicker rather than straight up and thin like the one in your photos. the nuggs should grow to be thicker that way. dont cut the leaves off the nuggs untill you harvest them.

 

i'll try that stemming cut you said with a small plant i've got. How does a hermie looks like? By the way......another plant i've got hasn't really sexed ......6 months old. Is it a male? or is it too lazy.

 

that is sativa right? im jsut learning about the plants myself, but it seems that way. theyre not well known for big buds are they? or that much bushiness either..

still id expect, with a platn that big, some bigger buds.

 

They look beautiful! I can smell them through my monitor!

 

HOLD ON A MINUTE, this is my department guys- sorry mean no offence here intended.

I been outdoor growing, since 1972. 11 years old i threw some seed in a new planter box at the jr high.scool i went to- smuggled them home on the bus in milk cartons. grew them in my yard until my dad caught me. But I been messing with this shit outdoors ever since.

What you have is spring buds dying because it is summer- that is good- your strain is not autoflower like we suspected-but aren't you like in austraila ? your seasons will differ gratley from mine.

Regardless, when the buds turn brown in the early summer like that, it is reverting to veg, I do this almost every year, it is fine, it will act dormant for three weeks or maybe four, and shoot growth from everwhere soon. The plant will explode- leave the buds on, maybe top a few down to split growth if you like- but the more you remove ,the less will come back later.

The second time that plant buds in the fall- the buds will be more compact, more resinous, and have crystals dusted everywhere. Let her rip girl you stumbled on an old trick of the outdoor trade. bud a plant twice, the second time around is knarlier.

I thought your plant had progressed rather nicely myself, though it does look predominatly sativa, if you like the high, and wish to regenerate the strain there may be some polen appearing soon, when they regenerate sometimes they think they are dying, and give a few random pollen sacks. collect them pods for when she buds again.

No ,males usually show colors regardless of light hours at 2- to 3 months old.
by five to six months it is very unlikly it is a male, the other plant you mention just did not put out spring bud, it may bud later than the other one too, but it's probly a female, probly bud in sept oct like you figure.

 

That is one damn gorgeous looking plant

 

Indica is purple

 

bullshit,

some indicas are, some are not.
but even the ones that are have lime green buds too.
Purple kush, a landrace indica for example,from the seeds you will plant from a pure purple kush strain, you will get some buds that are gold, some that are green ,and some that are purple. there are very few totally purple strains on earth, almost all will have some green ones come forth.

 

Tie,are you talkin dirty again.I am all balled up inside now,LOL.My opinion is a plant with little yield is a waste of time,sativa or indica.

 

"Im just a dirty white boy"mean.

Yeah, but if ya like the high, chances are it will adapt to your enviroment and become a heavier yielder, if'n ya make some seeds from it
If everyone made their own seed, the people at the seedbanks would be forced to supply landrace or go out of biz.slowly undermine tha banks every chance ya get.
the selectively inbred strains like bubblegum are of course an exeption.

 

This is exactly correct.

That's why photo-sensetive plants (in the northern hemesphere) are generally planted after april 1 outdoor.

But wait 8 more weeks or so- THEN see what you've got!

 

looks just fine to me...probably would've done better indoors

 

Not in a million years.

 

I agree with meangreen, your seed stock is not showing hybrid vigor, rather it is struggling because it has poor genetics.

when you use a seed out of a bag, which is a fantastic way to experiment and learn about the plant, it usually is a result of a hermaphroditie, in which case the genetics may be 2-4 generations removed from the orginal plant from which it came. Each time you get farther away from F1 (the orginal plant with heavy buds, high thc,etc..) the quality of the plant drops. I have started seeds from bags with mixed results, but nothing compairs to f1 generation seeds. Its not too scary to order them, and many places will ship worldwide, just be smart, dont put it on a credit card, get a money order....
Other than that, your plant looks great, and you are taking great care and pride in what you are doing!! That is the first step into a great realm, enjoy!

 

Guys, thanks very much to everyone. It's great to exchange ideas and experiences with you. Im from Egypt, which is northern hemisphere as you know.
I'll post you some more pictures to show the evolution of this girls n probably some boys. That way, everyone will be able to increase their experience and knowledge... nature always acts interestingly.

About breeds... hoy do you get an F1? how do breeders get those "first strains" and what should i do and dont with the offspring (in case thay seed).

Cheers !

Here are some chuldhood pictures from them...they were born jan-feb

 

Let a male develop if seeds are hard to get. A seedy crop will be no less quality, just less quanity.

When you've got all the seeds you need, you can grow a sinsemilla crop.
