one stressful life

Don't judge...total newbie,

I planted this girl in September, since then its been ripped or fallen out of its pot four times, surprisingly it has remained fully female and intact each time. I know a lot of you may not agree with this method; i take her out in the wee morning and bring her in at night. She finally started flowering and budding about a month and a half ago. I have not used any nutrients at all, just miracle grow potting soil and that's it. My problem now is a couple weeks ago the rays from the sun did some major damage and totally fried pretty much all the leaves off. She seems to be re-cooperating pretty well; new growth sprouting everywhere. What I am confused about now is she is sprouting more white pistils everywhere, even out of the centers of all the buds that i thought got totally fried, which obviously all the pistils on those have been fully orange for some time now, but the trichomes still pretty clear. Do i need to keep a look out for the older buds being ready to harvest before the new stuff is ready, or will it all happen at once? Even though im really skeptical on using nutrients, i have technaflower boost and bloom; should i consider using it just to help her get back on track? any advice in any area will help please.

this plant is 8 months old? I would very much like to see a pic.

Yes please post pics. It must be a pain to yard it out then back in. Must be a monster with all that veg time. Guessing at least five feet by now. Most likely you'll have to pull some buds off as they mature. That be some hardy genetics.

all the good pics are stored on my hard drive...until tomorrow this is the best i can do for now....gives ya an idea of how bare she is. obviously in desperate need of some more room to stretch her feet out

like i said, one stressful life...for me and her, lol. hard drive is acting up so these are the best pics i could get. youre right, she should be like five feet tall...lol, but shes only a foot tall and about a foot wide, need to get a bigger pot...lol. Is it time to add any nutrients or should i let nature take its course?

looks like you have no fan leaves on there at all haha but yea never ever use miracle grow! its miracle shit at growing marijuana go get some proper hydro ferts and you'll be much better off! larger mediums (pots) are helpful to transplant into but when you in flowering its only going to cause more harm then any good, also with the medium (pot) your using now you know you could have put way more soil in it to give your plant more room for its roots, I try to keep about a 3/4 inch distance from the top of the dirt to the top of the medium so you have room to water without it spilling over but giving maximum space to the roots to grow, also gives you more time in between transplants.

not sound growing practice, even for a newbie. i feel safe in assuming you did no research at all. we can't help you as much as a growing manual will.

yes, she is quite bare, maybe four or five leaves and thats it. so, after she stops flowering, again, i could use nutrients? right now i have bc bloom and grow, is that stuff okay? ive read it is, but wanna make sure. the reason she has such little soil because the side of the bucket has drain holes the size of quarters and has been carrying the soil out when it drains, lol. i know its no excuse but i have very little time on my hands, thank you very much for the advice. sometimes you need another persons opinion rather than something you get from a general book

well, i can safely tell you that your assumption is wrong. if i may ask, whats so not sound about the way i am growing? keep in mind this is my first time ever getting this far, past attempts have never made it beyond the water leaf stage, so in my opinion; i think i have done rather well despite being a single mom, working and going to school full time. and i have read just about everything i could find regarding my issue and havent found any topics that tell me whats going on.

I wouldn't recommend using any nutrients at this point in flowering..

so, its normal for her to start flowering again? even though the flowers are coming out of the buds?

How long has it been flowering? How long since it started showing pistils and signs that she was a she? The buds will grow and swell during the different stages of flowering so what you see right now may change.

Don't listen to the haters on this site, they will bum you out. That said, you do have a long way to go but keep at it and you will get better. My first grow had plants that didn't look as good as your plant but I also didn't grow them for 8 months.

so its normal for it to start re-flowering even though the first harvest isnt ready yet?

MG has such an undeserved bad rap. I just finished out a 3.5 foot tall White Widow in nothing but MG and a couple of nute feedings in flowering only. She has awesome ight buds and looked like she had been snowed on. But anyway this thread is not about MG or my plant so I am not trying to jack it.

Anyway to the op, That is a new one on me. Just goes to show cannabis is a very resilient plant.

she was for sure a she about four months ago. shes been budding for like a month, maybe more. but the flowers just reappeared like week ago, and theyre growing from within the buds. wish my hard drive wasnt acting up so i could post a better pic of what im talking about

dude....way resilient!!! despite all the stories of hermaphrodite resulting from abuse and plants dying from bringing them in and out, i am very surprised shes survived half the things shes been through, lol

You say she has been budding for a month, are you counting from the time she showed little pistils or when the actual buds started showing? Either way, if its only been a month of flowering you probably have another 3-5 weeks left. Close up pics of the buds showing their hairs and trichome formation would be very helpful so whenever you can get those posted.

Also, don't overreact or go on any one person's advice on this forum. Take it all in and decide for yourself.

I don't know what you mean by reflower? Has she stopped flowering? Are the buds not getting any bigger?

yeah the buds stopped getting bigger, from getting fried im assuming, she stopped producing the long white pistils too, but now she has started again and with a vengeance. with all the new growth on her the past few days, i think i freaked out too soon, cause she seems to be thriving right now. finally got to my hard drive to work properly. pics of what she looked like before she got fried and the last pic is of the white pistils beginning to come out now at the very very top. its obviously not a great pic, i swear it always one thing or another, but there are new white pistils everywhere and little baby super green leaves. the new green contrasting against the old deep purple looks amazing. ill try to get one more pic of what she looks like now. but i think the sea has calmed, lol.
