Potsy's Garden of Weed

It makes sense if it starts to reveg. How badly would it screw up the yield though?

I brought one of my ladies outside today. She’s definitely going to have to get used to the wind and heat.

I did take a video for you this afternoon. I’m just really fucking lazy. Plus my phone was acting all jacked up.

If you put it outside now it will start to reveg.

If it were me, I might consider putting them outside. It might even increase yield.

Putting them outside now will shock them and it will take a few weeks for them to recover. But it would also leave you the whole growing season to have them grow BIG and thus yield more.

If your goal is some weed soon don’t put them outside. If your goal is much weed in October, go for it.

But, as mentioned, check your daylight hours.

All the best.

I am good on the daylight hours. Have 12 hours until mid September.

With that logic, does that mean I need to have that much sun? I don’t know if I have that many hours of full sun unless it’s in the cornfield. :face_with_monocle:

If I put one of those giants in a cornfield… That would surely take away more than I would like of the farmer’s crop. I can totally see my one plant eating 20 of his

Okay, you want to check again I think.


It looks like you will be closer to 15 hours at the moment which will most likely cause your plants to reveg. What we mean by checking your daylight hours is your plants will only be triggered to flower when it is closer to 12/12 (it’s not an exact science)
Your daylight hours are actually getting longer at the moment. They will trigger flowering again some time after you go down below 14 or 13 hours… Again there’s no way to tell what your plants will do until they do it. It’s all a guessing game unless you grow the same strain multiple years in a row and you learn how they behave in your environment.

What I would be asking next is when is your first frost due? Frost time is like the grim reaper coming for your buds :scream: and we all want them to be done before it gets here.

Your plants only really need 4-6 hours of direct sunlight a day but they will grow regardless, afterall plants grow everywhere that there is light and water but they grow better where it is in perfect balance.

People employ multiple techniques to hurry/help plants finish in time but it’s all the same thing in the end, light deprivation. You either cover them or bring them inside into a dark place. Most gardeners do not actually employ these techniques though as it is maybe one of the most Labour intensive things you can do with growing plants except maybe digging holes.

corn is very fast and tall growing so I actually wouldn’t worry much at all about the farmers crop.

Apologies if this is confusing or I get any of it wrong, again I hope someone corrects me if I do but I also hope it helps.

No… That’s not what I wanted to hear LOL. I agree. I pulled them. Going to have my husband bring them outside tomorrow. Figure now I have nothing to lose by putting them outside.

Does this mean I’ll have seeds? I guess I’m not

Only if they’ve been sneaking around on you! :laughing: :wink:

It takes a daddy AND a mommy to make a :baby: you… so only if daddy did his thing so to speak.

Now forgive me I’m wakenbaking at 430am after 103F days… so, ahem,

I agree it’s not likely unless you have females in the area. Also, I can’t say about all of the plant, but the pics provided doesn’t show any of the pods that are open yet.

If the plant is truly intersex and you allow it to fertilize itself you will have abundant selfed seeds (Fem, likely sexually unstable.) No need for a full male unless you are breeding or sharing.
One of my first four hermed last summer. I got about 2k seeds to play with. I grew a few, one particularly odd one went to harvest. Now that I am making seeds on purpose I plan to toss those in some salad.

Hello my lovies, I made my gal some aloe water. Goodness me I love this. I’m not very good at cooking but I get to have fun playing a scientist with all of my plants.

Hey guys, here’s an update on Jesus

I tore down one of my males. He’s playing in a pot of water. I’m keeping it in the kitchen. Just watching how the roots grow. Little experiment I suppose.

Here’s a picture of Jesus. I’ve noticed that she’s been getting a little brown on her pistols. Is this anything I should be worried about? :frowning:



I have also finally set up my dehumidifier. The room humidity was at 70% when I turned it on. I currently have it set for 50 percent.

that what learning too grow should be fun. get the right soil mix the plants will pretty much grow them selfs. just do not water to much. you or off to a good start keep it up green thumb.

Are you spraying ANYTHING in flower? that can do it. Heat/moisture/physical contact/crazy ozone/pollination… can too.

70%rh in flower is a recipe for disappointment. :astonished: :+1: Is that DE or nutrients on the leaves? :confused:

You’re amazing… Yes! It’s DE. I love that stuff.

The only thing I really have been spraying lately is biothrive premixed

What happens if it is too humid? Have I done permanent damage?

Too humid during the flowering phase can lead to mold/fungi problems in your buds, but you noted you lowered it to 50%-- make sure that when lights are out it’s still being maintained because humidity jumps up when lights go off.

Pistils getting browned isn’t much of an issue unless you’d hoped to make seeds, because a pistil is just a pollen-catcher. :blush: I’d be very conservative with the diatomaceous earth (personally, others may dispute! :slight_smile: ) & dunno about smoking it :exclamation: probably really bad. The sticky resin on the plant catches anything in the air…dirt, cat hair, whatever, so keep that in mind.

If they were vegetating then none of my cautions would really be an issue, except maybe the lights-out/humidity jump. :wink:

Thank you for taking the time to explain that to me! Made a lot of great sense
