Growing some good stuff outside, and concerned,

First and foremost,

Welcome to the site.

Please take a few moments to peruse the site rules. You will find them few, and easy to abide with.

Now as for what I see growing. I would perhaps clear away, (cut back), some of the other vegetation.

One just can't get enough light you know ?

Are these ladies yours, or did you just run across them ?

They look a little thin, maybe a bit sparse would be a better word.

What is the strain ?

Do you amend the soil ?

Better than my asking all the questions. can you fill us in on some more of the details, as that would allow us to figure out how to be of the best help.. Simple.

smoke in peace

As KK said they look a little thin. As a long time outdoor grower I know the trade off between sun and stealth. Trim back a little of the competing foliage, step back and eyeball it before removing a bunch. You can always remove more but waiting to grow back more cover can take a while and expose you to prying eyes.
In order to thicken them up I would suggest top dressing around the plants with some descent composted manure. just scratch it in the top inch or two, don't go crazy, you don't want to damage your roots.
But all in all they look healthy, good luck on the grow.

(edit) Don't forget, anything you remove, haul away from the grow, dead foliage just laying around may peak peoples curiosity.

welcome---they look good to me as well---you might consider bending the tops over by tying a line around the top 1' and staking it into the ground or to a rock so you can move it---think of an upside down horseshoe---be sure the plants are well watered before doing this as they will be more pliable---too much stress and you may snap it---be gentle---this will give you more tops:cool2:

Yup thats what i would do bend the top right over gradually over a week by tieing a string and everday bending it a little over

Not sure what the strain is, going back to check on them, some random person planted them on my property (probably a neighbor) so i snagged them,
Super exited, no idea what strain but the plant radiates in a smell of fruit loops,
Will cut back some veg, they seem to get great light & it's been raining just around the times i water them, just seemed strainge that they shot up like that, as for top soil, what do you recommend i throw on them? Dont have access to menure.

 

[7greeneyes]

So you jacked some poor foo's OD's?

Did you relocate them I take it?

 

[Zander]

yes i relocated them, and here's a shot after i went back and trimmed it up, does that look a little better? EDIT: They are also showing female preflower now, saw it yesterday, will post pics

 

[N.E.wguy]

clear all that crap grass out from around them, rain water maybe try to save up some xtra for when its not raining and you should buy some nutes off ebay or a hydro shop and you will get better results soil some one else i'm sure can help u

keep a close eye for signs of sex asap remove males

top coating with fertilizer (or watered-in nutes for that matter) would probably be advisable as well as topping the plant itself to produce multiple same sized heads too. a lil lst, then repeat. at least that's what I'd do. It would keep the profile lower and make it bush out more.

I use FF nute trio. But which one I use depends on what growth cycle the plant is in along with cha ching and molasses waterings (if in bloom). Works great and churns out the dank.

Good luck on your endeavor, you ghoster you....lol...

i would not top those plants---every day od light is getting shorter---the window for harvesting od is shortening---last thing i want my plant doing during flower in august is directing energy into stress repair instead of producing buds---if those were mine---i would fertilize and clear the ground cover---it's just harboring potential problems---also---bending those tops over with a line and a brick will give you more tops with the least amount of stress

 

[7greeneyes]

ahh I hadn't considered the light change

but I'd definately give then some ferts tho like orange said.

I've trained and topped in the first two weeks of bloom in doors and neve rhad one iota of a problem. Not even a diminished yield. A shot of B1 IF you did top it would ease it through the "shock".

These plants are alot tougher then we give credit, in my experience...

Hey guys, Update, threw some MG all purpose on them today, here are some pictures, that one is super thin, but i just cant get it to fluff,
anyways let me know how you guys think they're doing, biggest is around 6'4.5" tall (a guess because i'm 6'2" tall.)

 

[7greeneyes]

They look healthy and green for sure. How many hours of direct sunlight do they get?

 

[Zander]

Not sure, i am in Genesee County, 48430
