i've also grown weed that got 6 feet tall but only weighed 1.5 ounces dry in a corn field. The only way u'll get lots of weight is if u knock down lots of corn and thats suspicious.
Well that soil has allready been fertilized, and the ph is right. the soil is black where I live and a little manure, bloodmeal, bonemeal, wood ash. and something like Dutch Passion #1 Aphg and just break the top tassles off. I've seen real big ones but I don't need that much personaly, or would I want to chance it. Also I don't see very many planes out that far.

Its not just daddy's field, its mine too, and he didn't even notice it anyway. Now would someone with some experience in this or advanced growing knowledge please offer some advice? This isn't something I can find in the growfaq

If it's on the leaves only and if you can wash it off really well in the first 12 - 24 hours you might be ok.
If it got on the buds I don't think I'd smoke them. Risking smoking poison isn't a good idea. Best to call it a loss and move on.

Why are you spraying round-up in August anyways? If you have them in corn it should be 8+ feet tall by now. Thus, you shouldn't have a weed problem since the corn will be blocking out the weeds. Heres a few pics of some of mine that I have grown in the corn in the past.

my plants were on a dyke around a pond that is very hard to get to. I have grown successfully there in the past, but some of the locusts bushes were getting big and there was a really big one by my plants so Dad did some spraying. I think I got out there to wash them off within 36 hrs, but some damage had already been done. they were starting to curl up and had some yellowing. I trimmed the yellow leaves and rinsed the plants off. A couple of the plants looked like they had been missed, and I have an alternative site with three other plants, so I'll still have a crop. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do about the ones that had been hit. The buds aren't that developed yet, so if the plants do rebound I'm not too scared about the buds having a bunch of poison on them, but I'll be careful to keep them seperate just in case. That first bowl might kill me. Who knows. Oh well, it will all be worth it for some good white widow! I'm going back out tomorrow to check out the damage.

they are all still alive, yet some curling is still going on. I found out what was sprayed on them. 24D, Tordon and Remedy, with a little surfactant. I'm just hoping the rinsings I've given them, along with what rain we have had, will help flush them and allow them to rebound. they've been manicured but remain curled.

i would spray with lots of sope+water and give them as much water as you can

the plants that were sprayed are all still alive, although the spraying has created some side effects. Most of these plants were in week 3 or so of flowering when they were sprayed, and afterward the flower development seemed to take a backseat to the plants preserving themselves. It appears that the flowering sites that were sprayed are all producing seeds now, instead of the nice buds that are still present on the plants that weren't sprayed. So I'm guessing the stress caused them to hermie out or something and start making these seeds? Anyone with any info on this please let me know.

do you c any male flowers? check a few calxys to c if its actuly making seeds and not just swelling up it is posible that that kind of stress made em pop male flowers how bout some pics

pics aren't going to happen, sorry. My camera is crap and I'm not good at all that stuff anyway. I haven't gone back out, but I'm certain they were all females before. Is it possible to have it switch and start making male flowers? It really just looks like little bulbous growths around where it would be producing more leaves. I've had males before, and these don't look like males. I've ripped some open and they really look like seeds. I don't know for sure, its a crazy science experiment. I'm just hoping our three girls that are still around the sprayed ones don't get pollenated or anything.

That is incorrect. Yes you should take down the males, but your reasoning is misinformed.
Males will pollinate female plants making them produce seeds.
Hermies are female plants that are stressed and produce male parts causing them to be able to pollinate themselves.

there is definately seed like growth on the plants that were sprayed, but the ones that weren't aren't seeding, so I don't think anything was pollenated. I didn't plant any males, so that wasn't the problem. It was the spraying. There will be a crop. Its just a question as to whether or not it will be smokeable

When the plant is producing seeds it is putting way less energy into THC production.
I was just trying to explain the difference between pollinated females and hermies.
