Questions about grow... Heaps of them!

Hey there,

What I'm about to write will no doubt, make all of u shake it heads & cry, but...hear me out..

I've been a smoker for about 28 years. About 16 years ago I grew weed under controlled setting and it was phenomenal. I knew a guy who helped with the set up and there was very little required of me..the fruits were superb and bountiful.

Recently... I decided to try and plant some bag seeds.. no effort, no set up, no nutes.. not even outdoors..

Two took.

One male, one female...

This is the female.

It sits in front of a window trying to get as much Sun as possible. Can't out it outside & have some concerns re. Neighbours, so even this is a risky ventures as some of my neighbours have a view of the window.

I thought I was just entering week four of flowering, but this is how the plant is travelling. Very little movement on bud size..not growing or fattening up, pistils turning brown... I know that ur all thinking of my blasphemous act and wondering what the fuck should I expect..but truth of the matter is that it was doing o.k..untili tried to hide the plant from the neighbours... Pistils are turning brown..with some..on no bud development..two sites...a handful of pistils..all brown..no bud..

Any idea how far along this is and whether I should remove the sites which have completely brown pistils sans buds?

plant looks ok generally speaking
i’d atleast get 4 10-14w led bulbs 3000K and put it in a closet if worried about neighbours plus it’d provide better lighting than what it can get sitting near a window

Agreed, I think lack of lighting, for one, is an issue. No nutes is no doubt, another downfall, but as trying the seeds was an afterthought...
I'm renting, so I guess my concern is in knowing how to set up lights in a closet

If you are renting, I would look into a small tent set up. Takes up 4sqft of floor space. Good for 1 plant & up to 130-140w light. A venting system with a carbon filter to scrub the odor from the plant. You may not notice it.. but the entire house probably stinks by way of that plant. When I have my tent open. I can smell them in a garage that’s about 50yds away. Small fans to blow air around inside as well.

If you are wondering costs.
a good light for a 2x2 will run you around 120-150 US.
tent, approximately 60-90 depending on quality. Ventilation with filter 70-140
Small fans 10 bucks.. 2 should do.
then figure out nutrients for flower. GH maxi bloom is what I’m using now. It’s pretty cheap & works well.

Re nutrients, I just gave her 50 grams of unswetened cacao, a few tbspoons of baking powder, & pulverised egg shells,, some Banana skin tea and glucose. As it's a first natural grow, I'll consider this one an experiment, but I definitely have the bug! Did some research into nutrients required, and as I've given her nothing, and it coming on 12.30 am (in Australia), I figured I'd see what can be found by way of nutes at home. Cacao, banana skin tea (which I had soaked for just over one week..checked that out a while ago) and baking powder have what she needs, and in abundance. I know it's sacrilegious, but may as well go all the way on sussing stuff out with her, given that my next grows will be focused and prepared, as opposed to just chucking a seed in some potting mix & waiting to see what happens. I've given her no attention whatsoever, so I'm curious to see what some crazy, off the grid additions will do

Before trying all those lotions and potions just go get a bottle of tomato nutrients from pretty much any shop. Will see you through this one, then check out buildasoil or something like that
Cool! Thank you.

Can you help with this, please... My buds are pretty dismal and it seems as they have a way to go, yet..m however... Check.the pic... Amber trichomes, right??? I'm concerned
