Questions about lady!

[purplephazes]

For one I never said anything about your friend, I only pointed out the plant is in rough shape. As far as ya'll being stupid, no skin off my teeth. If you are going to get all upset over a plant you may want to redirect that question at the closest mirror.

hey there budluv i think he may of directed the post my way..i dunno . anyways plants require the tap root to be 100% in tact therefore this led me to (quote) is that a mj plant ? all respect on my behalf toward the dead and dieing !it looks to me that this plant is around 1 foot tall therefore containing a tap root 2 footish deep ..i dont see 2 feet worth of soil in the transplant bag ! also full well knowing that this plant ? survived as a seed thrown in a garden ! and was then relocated i believe under the circumstances provided it has come down to fate ! with all due respect djdarkmeat ! peace.

Wel the post was simply directed at offhand comments not specifically to either one of you, and it wasn't to be taken seriously (although the respect for the dead was a metaphor for the plant symbolizing my friend although I still wasn't serious about that) anyway it is looking quite a bit better now I believe it is growing back some lost roots, whenever it fully recovers it will be put in the ground (a 3ft deep, 3ft wide hole), yes I also believe during the transplant it lost a good amount of roots I know for a fact that some of the taproot was damage when digging it up, but I believe it can potentially recover and thrive if it is taken care of from here on out, besides it's only been 2 weeks alot can happen in the next few...anyway thanx for the posts keep 'em coming.

I do wanna know what to do with the top (very top) everything else seems to be recovering while the very top continues to die, should I top when it recovers a little more, what will be the consequences either way?

just cut the dead piece off when you feel it can take the stress.

SPRITZ it with water occasionally until it begins regrowth. Love and leavit till you see it pullin' out of it's shock. Good luck, my fingies are x'd for ya.

Are there any methods out there for keeping a female focused on veg growth instead of switching to flowering later in the season, I want to use this plant strictly for clones for the next few years, and I have no where that I can put it inside so I have to be in the great outdoors with this mama, are there any of you with experience with an outdoor clone cycled garden, are there any ways to adjust this with fertilizer routines or things of that nature?

 

[djdarkmeat]

The plant looks lovely today, much more lovely than even a couple of days ago, I'll be sure to take some pics later today to show you guys.

considering the shock and treatment this poor plant has endured, what makes you think it will be a female?..
The "only" way to prevent flowering is with a "long" light cycle.

 

[djdarkmeat]

Okay with that said (oh and I checked today with some magnification and I can see female preflowers on all new growth) is there any way to encourage more leafy growth during the flowering season even while it is budding, and how long (seasons) could I keep a plant going in the outdoor enviroment (keep in mind I live in Florida were it rare drops below 50, maybe once in a really cold year)?

do you know if its its an auto ? the stress this plant has endured IMO suggests it most likely will not be female.. and as the days get shorter the light gets shorter as hick suggeted it requires long light cycles therefore its ineveditable that it will flower anyways. i wish you luck dj but its apparent that mother nature is in charge ! yes you can top the plant to encourage a bushier plant ...but dude this will slow down the growth cycle and is IMO not recommended due to it suffering already ! lets just say that if you were to top it.. you may only end up with a joint or two ! peace good luck !

If it recovers and if it puts out some side branches, then you can take some cuttings from a couple lower branches and clone them. Then wait to see what sex the mother will be and decide their future. Good luck with her. I try and shade my sick and wounded plants from direct mid day sun until they perk up. A window screen works great. Position it above the plant and secure it. Sometimes, they perk up quickly from that.

 

[djdarkmeat]

Okay let's be clear I am no longer asking how to keep it from flowering I simply want to have it grow after it starts flowering, meaning bud development is not improtant because I'm only interested in clones, so if there is a way to keep it on grow instead of bloom ferts or something like that to keep it growing while it flowers, if this isn't possible just tell me, but be clear I'm not trying to keep it from flowering, and I still have the question of keeping a plant going even through the winter months outside is it feasible to keep a mother alive outside for many seasons (no harvesting just cloning)?

I took pics today, they look great I'll post L8r...

 

[djdarkmeat]

This is Lady at Week 2 (1 Week on the root stimulator): (1st 2 Angles)


Alot more green growth, that's a good sign...

 

[BuddyLuv]

It is a long summer bud. Just try not to love her or him too much. The one thing that gets most first timers into trouble is over-caring for there plants.

well then thats improved a ton he/she is looking top shelf considering her recent battle with life ..as benny said you have a lllooooong summer ahead and she should hit the 10 ft mark with the good conditions available..camouflage maybe ? p.s can we have a pic of ya pot side on too !and does it have holes in the base ? thanks man take care lookin good!

 

[BuddyLuv]

Get rid of the white bucket, it stands out like a sore thumb. If you are smart you will find a good spot, dig yourself a hole about a three feet deep by 18 inches in diameter, get yourself some good organic soil and put her in the ground. Then just sit back and let nature take it's course.

 

[purplephazes]

yeah and that buduv nailed it ! just let her recover a week or so ! then into a hole ! but camouflage ya pot if possible

 

[djdarkmeat]

I don't know why these pics got deleted but these are two other angles of Lady (once again Week 2 [1 week on root stimulator]):



Look at the new shutes, that means we got some roots...

 

[djdarkmeat]

I'd like to get a camaflouge grow bag for it if I leave it where it is (but the grow store is 75 miles away), but the pot is grey not white and I've done a complete walk around, yesterday afternoon and you cannot at this point see the plant from any direction unless you are within 4 feet of the plant and there is only one point you can get that close the rest is covered in the thicket. I will get you a potside pic and yes it has holes in the bottom, with a small rock elevating one side slightly to help it drain.

 

[djdarkmeat]

When I transplant it to the ground out in Rolling Kansas, I would actually like to dig a 4 foot deep hole with a 3 foot diameter, cover the very bottom with a layer of large rocks followed by a layer of small rocks and then a layer of pebbles, coming up to a foot, to help with drainage, making the soil added
3foot by 3foot, if I can get ahold of some SpinOut (Copper Hydroxide Paint) I'd like to paint the rocks with it to help with horizontal root growth once it reaches the soil floor...I think it would work out well providing a very large plant with many many clones to choose from...what do you think...

a chopper would see it from the sky, that is what they look for.
