Almost Lost My Plants

Well, the remnants of Hurricane Ike came through the Ohio Valley area with 50-60 MPH winds Sunday, and when I went to check on my plants Sunday night, I found one almost laying on its side, but with roots still in the ground, and another one leaning a bit. I managed to get the worse of the 2 standing upright again, or close enough, and hope that it lasts until the end of the season.

I gave them a good watering since we only got the winds and not the rain from Ike and everything appears good. Here are some updated pics. I am going to start using some molasseses I think. Everything else has been all natural and not nutes used.

The first four are from my smaller plant that is ahead of the older/larger plant. Go figure If you were to guess, how much longer do you think? I forgot to really pay attention to when it started flowering, but it was somewhere around 4 weeks ago maybe.

The second plant was about 2 weeks behind in flowering I think, so I imagine a couple weeks after the first, it will be done.

glad they're ok. weed is a hearty lil' fucker.

wow pretty amazing!

Just some bagseed. I would have been a little more upset had it been a known strain that I paid money for the seeds.

Dam those look ssseexxxyyy!!

How much long until they are ready to be chopped?!?!

any molasses involved? nutes??

No nutes. Getting ready to add some molasseses. Got to go pick some up.

I have no idea when they will be ready to harvest. I don't remember when they started to flower exactly, but somewhere near 4 weeks. Figure I got 3-6 weeks left.

Go to radio shack and buy the 60-100X scope. They cost $12, then just clip a leaf from one of the buds and check the trichs. you want all cloudy with about 10-20% amber.
You should also think about feeding them at least some over drive or Liquid Karma or something.
Great looking plants either way. GRATS!!!!!!!

nice.. i jus joined here, been see'n a lot of nice things so far yo!

Thanks about the plants. It was a first grow, which is why I didn't go too far with nutes or anything. I just wanted to get a grow under my belt before I go all out with full fledged monsters next year

I will have to check Radio Shack out and look into a scope.

They look great, au natural good to hear, nice buds harvest is just around the corner . . . .

If they ain't broke, don't fix 'em. I think you're giving them what they need. Are those pix from AFTER being hit with the big winds? They look so fresh and springy.

Yes, those pics were taken on 9-16 and the winds came by 9-14.

You are smarter then the average bear then. You must have some very good natural topsoil where you live. Myself, I would still think about giveing them a few feedings of something at like 25% strength. Only if you can get a good product though. Not something from Lowes or somewhere.

Please make sure to add a post here in 4 weeks or so. So we can see how they are doing in full blown, swell my nuggets mode.

Thanks. I have always been the type that has liked growing things. I have helped my grandmother with a veggie garden in the past.

The dirt around here isn't that bad, so that helps.

I live in an area that I would have to travel at least 45 minutes to find a true garden store to get nutes, and if anything from Lowes or Walmart isn't very good, then it would be tough for me to get some. I might still look into something, and of course some molasseses.

I will be sure to post later as we get closer to harvest.

That is cool. I am totally sure they will do great with just molasseses. If you ever think about buying top of the line Nuts. Just buy them on line.

Yes, please remember to post pictures later on. Be very nice to see that plant late in bud.

If you can get to something like bird poop, rabbit, horse, or cow poop, you can have some good basics going. Even MILK can act as a foliar feed (and as a fix for powdery mildew, at least on cucumbers). Your girls seem to lack for nothing.

I got some molasseses, and that shit stinks

Also, I am going to get an early unexpected taste test on my plant. I noticed that there was one branch that was snapped off, probably from the wind earlier this week, and I am trying to trim it up and going to start drying it today, though it was already starting to a little from being snapped off the stalk of the plant.

DAMN GOOD GROW you must have some good luck when the winds came around. i will be watching your grow good luck

Pics were a little blurry. Best I got. still might have been a little leafy, but I need a new pair of scissors, definitely before I start to harvest the rest of the plant.

Thx. Hoping for an uneventful next 6 weeks or so until they are both done.
