Here are my 3 weed babies… You guys were right they had a BIG growth spurt and wondering if any of them are getting close to growing bud… The smallest of the 3 plants I think looks the closest and the other two who knows lol! Let me know what you think! As much as I have loved growing them boy oh boy are they most temperamental plants out of everything I grow! LOL The smallest plant but I think the best looking out of all of them ![IMG-9622](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/a/7/ca7051bfa0542cd99aa0791789b3a87a658e01fc.jpeg) ![IMG-9623](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/5/8/c580f1539a83b101b7f7885e1ddca03d19fc3a73.jpeg) ![IMG-9624](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/e/a/fea361e62ea471ee2cde41cf45b2a5f2bef76f04.jpeg) ![IMG-9625](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/b/3/3/b332797c60849fe9ea0b1245e43390e8453b0b93.jpeg) ![IMG-9626](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/2/a/6/2a67da7c192d06e70d817a16a276e8c0ace1b1ae.jpeg) The Biggest ![IMG-9628](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/4/d/6/4d637bbb58178e8ac8da5b18583633e5e533b10a.jpeg) ![IMG-9627](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/b/a/2/ba2c4066d12a6944443b856ed6a56794be861812.jpeg) ![IMG-9629](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/0/3/5/035b0143e45e954b668adc59484952a4a3ca236a.jpeg) The one doing its own thing and the least developed… ![IMG-9630](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/2/7/c275e3a921cbc56740cdbc1b0e5712641c3df812.jpeg) ![IMG-9631](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/7/7/4/7741ca6f5fedc6d09aa4d59b7b0362727a7d45bb.jpeg) ![IMG-9632](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/f/1/8f14c3bdc5a267a2609d720cd329a9b4581bc3c7.jpeg) ---

Thanks guys! I have to leave them to someone else to take care of and harvest 😬 I am going back to the US for few months if not longer… was hoping they would be done before I leave early Sept. may the force be with them lol she has a black thumb when it comes to plants hahaha so they may never bud but it has been super fun caring for them. 😃 ---

Long time to go! If possible, I’d put those in 5 or 7 gallon pots. They look rootbound in those smaller vessels. ---

Unfortunately, I am not going to repot them. I think they are to far along at this point and do not want disturb them if they are happy. They have been growing since april, went into preflower in May and here we are now. At this point they will either bud or die in these pots lol… either way I have had fun growing them and might do it again. They were an experiment with some seeds out of bud I got down here. No big expectations. 🙂 ---

I see white pistils, she’s flowering! Still have about 8 +/- weeks to go before harvest, get yourself a wireless microscope before then, takes the guess work out of checking the trichomes. Buds should start stacking in 4-5 weeks. ---

Thank you! The smallest plant is loaded with pistils from the top of the plant to the bottom. There isn’t a spot on the branches with out them. It’s the plant that makes me the most happy lol… The biggest plant has a lot of pistols too but not like the small plant. I wish I could get a microscope but its hard to get things here on the island. ☹ I am leaving them in the care of my mom the black thumb as I am away for the next couple of months but hopefully they are far enough along that she won’t kill them before they bud hahaha 🤣 ---

They’re very forgiving plants. Don’t over water (biggest mistake most people make in the begining including myself), feed/water them right, give them light and they’ll do their thing. You’re off to a good start! If you’ll be in a better location while you’re away get one amazon’d to you, they’re $30usd and totally worth it. Great for outdoors too cause you can check for pests you may not see with just your eyes. ---

Thank you! I will get one when in the US. 🙂 ---
