Well this plant was an after thought after I got all of my other ladies stolen outta my back yard...Its bagseed and its been flowering since around sept 15th. I've been using 15-30-15 miracle grow pretty lightly(i know its not the best but its what I've got) and it seems to be going ok. The leaves are yellowing and its been a whole month of flowering but I can still see right through the buds.I've just recently been adding Molasses when watering.The daylight is about 13-11 right now and I will probably have only 2 more weeks maybe 3. What can I do?

IMO, buds grow mostly vertically first 3-4 weeks, then they bulk up horizontally. They look great to me, just immature yet, by at least 4 weeks?

holes through the buds? that sounds bad, you might have an infestation. ie bud worms. i dont know what to tell you man. good luck

today is september 15th.
they did all that this morning..?
there isn't much you can do to tighten them up other than let them do it themselves.
giving them molasses will certainly bump up brix levels and help with resin production.
bring them inside if you can.

haha I fucked up dubRules I meant it was flowering since aug 15th.Taking them in at night would be a good idea if I could,its just not an option.And thanks that shit!haha,but if you look bout' dead middle of the bud you can see right through, the pics are decieving. I guess just keep doing what I'm doing and hope for good weather.!?!

Looks like you are doing a great job with what you have. Yeah the last week or two the buds really bulk up - HOWEVER, you also have to take into consideration the strain. For instance, if you were to go on The Attitude site, you will find strains that even the breeders say have "fluffy buds". Are the bag seeds you used from mid-grade Mexico weed? Was it from your weed, or did someone give you seeds?

My last grow was bag weed...some plants had light (fluffy) bud, others were dense as hell. When you're growing bag weed, sometimes you never know what you are gonna get. 'Specially if you are someone like me that just throws all their seeds in one jar...LOL

Yea good call stonefish,I never really thought about that. I get a lot of bag seeds frow a good friend dealer.If he has some really nice smoke and finds a couple seeds he keeps them and puts all the same ones together in a baggie and ties it up.These seeds were some nice "chink" weed as its called here mostly,which is what he gets most of the time.Thing is those buds are quite dense so I dunno I'm happy I've still got somethin damn thieves,I've got another in the ground out back I should take some more pics of its just taking off,will be some damn good oil.

you said you had about 2 more weeks of flowering left
how sure are you on that
what are you baseing that on
i think i read some where that plants take longer outside, thats why you have to buy a microcope
you really cant go off dates of when a plant should be ready to harvest
and most def. not in your case because you said it was an unknown strain

That shit, I am basing 2-3 more weeks on the weather. I had some plants out last year and I had to pull them early because it was getting too cold.As of now the night time low is 7 Celsius, and its only going to get colder.I know my plants can survive a light frost but I don't want to leave them much longer than that,auto-flowering is the way i am going next year hopefully.The late summer around here has been helping but I'm still skeptical.
