How does she look so far?

OK so this outside grow was just something I was experimenting with but since she started producing bud for me I am trying to get this right. I read all the time and so far it seems like she is healthy. My only problem is that it seems to be growing a bit slow or either I'm too impatient. This is my first grow.

It was in a big half barrel planter but I transferred it to a 3 gallon potatoes 3-4 weeks ago. The only thing I know I did wrong was when I was transplanting them was that I wasn't actually planning to transplant them. I broke down the half barrel and just left the plant sitting butt naked with the roots out on my back porch for about 3 hours while I was mixing the old soil with some mushroom compost and jolly gardener soiland perlite. After I finished I didn't want to throw them out so I just put it in a 3 Gallon pot. I was surprised it even stayed alive while it was out on the back porch for so long. Fast forward to now the plant seems OK I would like to just get some input as to what I can do better or how it looks now. I water it about every 2-3 day with half a tsp of dynagro bloom. Thanks in advance. Here are some pics.

Seems that it could probably use more sun. Seems a bit on the stretchy side. Good luck with your first outdoor grow.

P.s. I would read a lot of the threads from these outdoor growers....you will learn a lot.

Thanks will do.

The spot that I have it in only get direct sunlight from about 1230 pm until about 5pm. Just really cant wait until I get a inside grow tent going.

This is a Cherry bomb plant from bomb seeds, a bit stretchy for my liking. The smoke should be killer and that means more to me than yield to a certain extent, but that's how it goes with not enough sun light! If you get an indoor tent, I HIGHLY recommend the Hortilux Super HPS. I ran the 600w in my 5x5 tent and got amazing yield and potency. I was really pushing it with my other HPS bulb (Apollo 600w), but he Hortilux is a pure beast, however the 1000w would serve me better. Good lighting, the right feeding schedule, proper air flow, and most importantly....PATIENCE is all you need for a great yield.

Nice looking plant there. I know I would get better results with more sunlight, the only other option I have is to put it out front and that would be a huge no no.

Yeah well you got to do what you got to do. If you don't have good sunlight in your yard then indoor is the answer or guerilla grow.
Outdoor plants can be monsters yielding pounds per plant but that's only if you give them the right environment.
Good luck on your grow

Yeah this spot isn't so good. I'm going to be moving soon too and this next spot has plenty to of all day long sunlight. I can have a good grow next year outside though. Plenty of privacy as well

Fine looking plant. Just wanted to chime in though on a small point:

When the page first opens, all you see is that black nursery pot with what looks like carnations coming out of it. For a moment I was thinking, "Hmmmmmmmm...."

Lol. Yeah I was debating whether or not to include it in the shot when I was taking it. It's a pot of marigold to help keep the mosquitoes away. Works pretty good

That's actually

Another rain this morning

TWS has a point. You've got something eating at the leaves. Might want to get yourself some spray and hit it a couple times over the next couple weeks.

Grasshoppers were biting at the leaves, but I definitely don't have a mite problem. I used a microscope to look over the plant from top to bottom. I also foliar fed them a week ago and it burnt them a bit.

Oh. Well, that makes a lot more sense than, "it rained". That's what we were getting at.

I'm thinking he was also getting at the water droplets looking like mites. Good job with your assessment though..
