The beginning

6/3
First little sprout, had 3 "nice" seeds and 4 dark dark brown ones that ended up sprouting worms..?? when I put them in a shot glass of water to get them started...weird anyways, had 2 nice seeds left after 1 impatient attempt when it was tooo cold. There's no central heating where I live so without a heater...it's COLD.

No Idea what kind of plant this is, Pretty sure it's Sativa, spent some time trying to match leaves on the web and...uh....yah, it's just sativa...almost impossible to really determine.

These taken just after moving appartments. Away from the putrid chemical factory that I'm SURE is giving all the people living near some sort of rare elbow cancer or something equally as random. Hoping the fresh air will do the little guy some good. Growing pretty equally, has survived transplanting and having a drunk idiot falling on it...only water feeding, lots of light. July is pretty hot and humid here, average day is 28c.

Ok, so holy chit! less than a month and wtf!! I wasn't even here for 8 days of this growth, went on holidays to China and S.Korea and came back to this GIANT....mmmmm lovely!!
Still only water, even though my town is "famous" for it's pure water...lol...
Just noticed the spidermites and have gone to fight my way through the language barrier to find something get rid of the nasties...

Not really sure what to expect now, I think it's going to keep growing...? maybe for about a week more. Can see some more flowering and definitely sure it's a girl now wooHOO!!! It's still outside and still pretty hot but the humidity is dropping. Spidermites seem to be gone one day and back the next and I have not seen any webbing which confuses me but not complaining either. Just don't really want to be spraying the flowers... Don't really know about the nutes either because I haven't given it anything yet seems strange to start in flowering but went and bought some to see anyways..hopefully what I got was ok...no english on the package WHATSOEVER...little bit, here we go

Still growing although the height seems to have leveled off. Read something about bending it??? Or something to cut down on the height but I really don't understand it too much so not going to screw around with it. Sometimes a lot of info is TOO much, just got a bit confused.
Losing the Nutes I think, leaves are looking a bit brown and crispy which is a first...sticking to the water
Same deal with the spidermites, really don't want to spray anymore, still no webbing tho

give them some molasses, there fab

Nothing new really, still filling out. Flowers seem to be getting ...long? Think I'll check on that, sort of thought it would be a bit fatter, these guys look like they're ready to run a mrathon.

Same deal with the mites, spraying less and spraying just a bit with water sometimes to make the home less habitable...weather's getting colder.

Posting these mostly becasue I want to hear comments about anything I might be doing wrong or could do better and because I spent forever today trying to find a photo grow journal of an almost pure sative to match my progress. I "think" she started flowering around 8/27 but not sure if she looks "right". Anyways, couldn't find one and thought some other newbie might benefit from seeign mine, not that I know what I'm doing really though...lol. Plus it's very illegal here so can't really talk to anyone about it and it's soo exciting!! Can't WAIT to smoke..

Just noticed today...even though I check her morning and night...she's looking very leafy! Thinking that's a good sign. Checked back to the first pics 2 weeks ago and she looks much better. Really grew too tall toooo fast.

Tried to find molasses but unfortunately, no can do here. Soonest I can get some is 30 days ordering from FBC (foreign buyers club, ships stuff from Canada and US etc). This sucks....Is there anything else I can use...? Might call home and request an emergency care package...molasses..lol...who eats that anyways??

Wonder how many weeks this baby is going to flower for... read that pure sativa's can flower for 9+weeks, that would bring me to mid november, kind of cold then...Is it safe to move it indoors? Just don't want to rush it. Might have to build some kind of enclosed place on the patio. 1 reason is my mom is flying over for a visit.... 2nd reason is typhoon season is coming. Unfortunately the tallest closet in my place is maybe 4ft.

Does anyone know when the smelliest time is? During budding / flowering or drying?? There is almost no smell right now.

Ok so my plant is outdoor and not getting enough light. I don't have a closet to put it into as it's 6 ft tall now. I've never done this before and have tried to do what I can from reading in this forum. The closest ever was my x-bf's roomate having a plant...I live in Japan and it's beyond illegal here. If I get caught, I'm in jail or deported...stupid, maybe. But I had no idea it would take this long and get so big.

So basically my question is what can I do? The plant was just on the balcony but really stretching to get the sunlight so I built this makeshift closet type thing and hung some lights that I KNOW are not what I should be using but I can't get the 400w special light (hps?) here, I've looked.
Now the leaves are curling because it's too hot in there. I have a fan and have kept the door open but the temps here are still in the 30s every day and a bit humid from typhoon season.

My worries are / questions are:

**Not enough light, any ideas?
**Too hot in the 'closet' but better light than outside..?
**Would moving it inside into a room (closets are all max 4ft) be better than outside or too much for the plant? If I could safely move it inside this is what I would do.

Is flourescent better than bulbs? Is limited sunlight better than the 'closet'?
How soon can I harvest it withought it being a total waste? I'm getting freaked because it's so big. Will moving it inside from outside kill it?

ok, I'm repeating myself now...you get the idea..if you have any ideas please help.

thanks
