hello everyone first time outdoor growing, i got my plant may 29th and been nursing it ever since... i have been using Humboldt Nutrients Verde and they are growing very nice now! just one question to all, i started a little late just wanted some recommendations on how to make it grow a little quicker... maybe to make up some of the time i lost... dont get me wrong im happy with my girl now i just want her to be the best she can be!

i got my plants a little late too and put them outside and it shocked them into flower. you could keep them inside for another month to keep them in veg and get then put them outside it would help them a bi.t if you cant do that then i dont really know how to just make them grow faster you could put them in bigger pots with more soil that might help too if their root bound
 
I don't think keeping them inside would help. The sun is much stronger and more efficient than any light you could run indoors. Make sure you keep on top of watering and feeding it but be careful not to overwater it as this can hinder growth. There isn;t really much you can do that I know of to accelerate growth. Just keep doing what you're doing and she'll do just fine.
 
i know but keeping them inside would enable him to keep them in veg for another month because since its kinda late in the season when he puts them outside its going to shock them into flower since the days are becoming shorter. keeping them inside till mid next month will actually help alot if you think about it. it will add another month of veg to the plants life which will make them bigger for when you put them in flower which will give them a bigger yeild
 
would it harm the plant if i did transfer from outdoor to in? that's seems like quite a drastic change
 
The best thing to do when transferring from inside to out is to get it on a similar light cycle as the current outdoor one and find a stretch of days where you can get 2-3 nice days without heavy rain. A couple sunny days should be all it takes to adjust. As for shocking the plant into flower I don't believe that happens every time you switch it over. The cutting I put outside a week ago hasn't transitioned to flower despite the fact that it went from in to out.
 
that rooftop spot is pretty neat man! i would roll with mother nature on the lighting though. any time i put a plant out it explodes when compared to indoor lighting
 
We are just a little over a week past the longest day of the year. There's at least 5-6 weeks of vegging before the days get short enough to start flowering. The sun is as good as it gets
 
Being on the roof I would imagine moving them inside and out everyday is out of the question. This can be a real pain in the ass but when and where practical it really works great and in my case allows me to grow outdoors all year round. Just have a little room with lights so you control the day length, I have a flower and veg room. Like I say it is a pain in the ass but gives you lots of flexibility in grow.
 
it has to be on my roof there are way to many trees around where i live... it only gets 6 hours of direct sunlight everyday :-(
 
6 Hours of direct sunlight is much better than no direct sunlight. She'll do just fine up there mate. Just keep an eye on water levels. I would imagine the pot will dry out fairly quickly being up on the roof like that.
