North East Growing Worries!!!

Gotcha,
I tied her down yesterday..

Now waiting for the leaves to turn up.

Quick question guys?

This may be a strange question to ask. I feed my plant twice a week and drown her twice a month.

My question:
Out of no where it's turned into a monsoon up here. It's been raining since Thursday & it's predicted to continue through the week till Thursday.

Will feeding the plant be a waste because of the constant rain fall. Or should I just wait and feed as normal?
My drown day is normally every other Friday, followed by my twice a week feeding on Monday(today).

Please!!!

Before you reply, I've been over this in my head... "IF YOU FEED IT THE RAIN JUST GONE FLUSH IT IDIOT!!!"
then the other side says
"WELL IF U FEED IT, IT'LL GRAB WHAT IT COULD!!"

Trust me I'm leaning STRONGLY to just letting it be.
I figure how many raindrops equal 6 gallons.

See this why you can't smoke and type... How many raindrops... WTF

Seriously though should I feed it

tie right below where it splits, so you're tying the single stem before it splits. then the two will bend towards the sun and open up your plant to more light, you will be happy with the results

OMG!!! you were so right....
It's only been 2 days, and even though it's been rain rain rain.. The leaves have turned!!!
I see allot more lime green spots then before.

Question?
Should I use a bloom food with less N and more K?
Right now I use a 15-30-15 mix?

Idk wut you're worried about your plant will survive the 1st few weeks if not all of october and if you are worried about frost than cover it with a black sheet at nite. As far as height idk if you're worried about people/police seeing your crop if you are than forget the sheet idea. Wut I did when my sativa was getting around 5ft. is I bent the top of the plant and tied it down to theplant its self and everytime it popped back up I'd tie it back down and itstopped that major upward growth. Now wut happened as a result of tying down the top is the branches next to the bend popped out the top and those grew upward but they dont grow as fast! So now if I fear my plant is getting too tall I can always go tie down some branches.

Thanx P.Stonie..
It's like this.....
You ever see Eddie Murphy "RAW"
u no the part where he says all the white folk got drunk and voted for the black guy as a joke....
Next morning they wake like
"WTF HE WON"

Same thing.. This was a joke. I never knew it would GROW!!!!
Now I just wanna reap the benefits of knowledge and do it again next year.

I have tied her down and noticed exactly what your sayn.
Should I stay with the same bloom fert or get something lower in (N) and higher in (K) or is my 15-30-15 good enough?

In flower at least it says in my book (The Cannabis Grow Bible) By Greg Green. Its really worth buying it has all you need to know and I think every grower should have at least one book. But it says in flower you want less Nitrogen than Potassium and Phosphorus.

I just use Fox Farm Big Bloom and tht is 0.01 - 0.3 - 0.7 so thts way less N than P,K

We tied the Girls down and grew them horizontally as soon as they went outside (and got big enough). Now the 3 of them just look like some weird bush. I mean, anybody who knows what dope plants look like will know what's going on, but the average dickweed short cutting thru my backyard won't be paying attention anyhow.

I sure hope the stank doesn't give us away when they get funky. But someone else grew on this property for years with no problems. He grew vertically, though, and must have just topped them to stay level between the tomatos.

How Much acreage are you working with?

Thanks for the insight.


It's been raining pretty hard here. I've been going over the thought of watering. Something made me check the dirt. No clue why. The catch was full.
Anyway,
After 3 days of rain with minimal downtime. The top level was just slightly damp, but 2 inches down it was dry.

I watered her yesterday morning. It rained through out the evening.
The dirt seemed as if it was barely misted.

I figured it's just because it's in a container.
Just seemed weird. Wanted to share.

that monster of a plant you got makes a big umbrella over the pot so most of the water goes down the leaves and misses your pot!!

Exactly!

I'd feed throughout the rainy period. Water as needed.

Cannabis loves a rain shower. Clean leaves make a happy plant.

I took a few pictures of some leaves that turned colors since the rain.
I haven't given any nutrients since Thursday.Only water once (yesterday). I usually feed twice a week. Monday and Thursday

Also just an update to OBSESSIONKILLS

Wanted to show you a before and after since you recommended i start bending her..

Same stem from last week to this week.
big difference

I would think shell be done before Oct deffinitly. worst comes to worst maybe bring her in if it frosts but i think youll be just fine. good luck

This is sick.
So basically with time, experience and alil trial & error. I can do this every march FOR FREE...
I know your reading like DUHHH!! but, come on... ya first grow u thought u was John Deere himself.
Anyway, to the entire forum.. I thank you for all your support positive but mainly "negative". I hate a yes man or one scared to share.

yeah im putting it down down

Till my next update

Things seem to be going well. I've been adding molasses to my watering and gradually uping the fert to label directions(started 1/4 label directions).

I've attached some pics.

Should I hope To make it to late October or early November.

Great looking plant. I thought mine was big at 6ft. Im gonna have to try that tie down trick. I look to be at the same point in flowering as you. Im hoping to be done by first week or so of october.

I thank you all for your help in getting me here.

Now comes the pay off.

May you guys look at my pic's and tell me how far I have to go, as well as the next step I should take; to ensure the "BEST" smoke I can get?
Just FYI: Tuesday was the last time i feed her. (Gradually got up to manf dir. 1 tlb sp to a gallon).
