Hey all. Haven't smoked in over fifteen years. Found 15+ year old seeds and planted a good fifty of them in may and only one grew. Turned out to be a champ I thought. Once it got four feet tall I started getting nervous. Now it's 9' tall and flowering and I'm shitting a brick. It's about 4 weeks into flowering and I'm wondering if it's worth it to let it continue. Can you please tell my based on the pics I'm posting whether it will actually bud enough to harvest this year please? If not I'm chopping it. There are over 60 ends flowering. I've used zero fertilizers and haven't even watered it. Everything I grow seems to do well. Maybe cause I talk to the plants I dont know! This thing is friggen huge though. Thanks for any advice in advance. Pics taken today end of September. Will frost here just after Halloween, possibly before.

looks like 6 more weeks to finished . who so close to the house ? be sure to check the plant that i s sitting or resting on the house . if its touching the wall it possible could mold on the leafs direct contact . so be sure to check every other day or do a quick trim .

Honestly it was the only one of the fifty to grow. I put ten seeds in my wife's fairy garden there. Expected if it grew to be a few feet tall at the most. By July there was no more fairy garden! All seems good by the house. Thanks for the info. Six weeks is scary. Hmmm. Can't have anyone over etc. I'm excited but so done being paranoid..

City, but on a good size property. Wooded behind, rental house next door can't really see it at all. 6' fence on the other side, but they scare me. Older hippie type couple, but he's a reformed alcoholic. I'm worried about them. Need this baby to finish what she's gonna do ASAP! On top of it I'm a prominent figure in the area. Would be in the papers if I got busted. Probably not worth it, but I just can't cut it down. It's like another child.

A Squirrel climbed it and placed a walnut about 8' up. Broke off two good branches on the way. Gotta do some splinting now from a ladder. This won't be obvious lol. 6'5" guy on a ladder splinting what looks like a giant weed. 20160930_123300.jpg

There Goes the Neighbourhood!
Prominent Local Couple Busted for Drug Cultivation

Chicago police yesterday discovered a very large and very healthy cannabis plant being grown by local politician and renowned philanthropist Chicago Mike. They were tipped off by a nosy ex-alcoholic hippie neighbour who was quoted as saying "If Mike just offered to share a few buds I would have kept quiet, man".

His notoriously paranoid wife, local charity fundraiser and all - around good citizen Chicago Mary said "told him so" when pressed for comment.

The plant in question was grown too close to the house in a fairy garden from 15 year old bagseed and though it was about a month premature, it had potential for a "dank harvest" according to local botanist Harry Stoner. Mr. Stoner was impressed that the plant was thick and lush despite no watering or fertilizing from Mike. When asked for his opinion, Stoner replied "That's the real crime here. Imagine if he actually fed it, watered it, and put it in a better spot!"

Police have decided to not press charges since according to police captain Jim Pig, "it's one lousy plant! What's the harm? I just wish we showed up around Halloween when we'd have something worthwhile confiscating" .

The only punishment facing Chicago Mike is a bit of embarrassment, no homegrown stash this fall, and continued and ongoing disapproving looks from his wife.

Funny but not at the same time! Kinda made the heart pump just seeing that rendition of the trib. Halloween party going down here so it better be done in time. Gonna harvest 30th of Oct. There will be a gaping hole in the landscape lol. Funny you said thick and lush - I Defloliated about 30% of it against a lot of advice on this site from what I've read. Thought behind it was to let the sun hit the many, many other bud sites all over the thing. They are literally everywhere you look20160930_140218.jpg
