Ouch. I am not sure that far into flower, and the size, leaves you any recourse. The soil looks very compacted and rocky. That in itself can stunt our girls. Roots cant do their thing.
A ride her for what you can get. Check the trichomes and if good just pull her. Next plant in that soil dig a hole. Break up the dirt. Drop the plant in in a 5 gallon cloth pot. Bury it. The pot will allow the roots to proliferate and they will grow right through it. Will stop an initial stunt in its tracks.

Im thinking about digging it up and putting in a pot with fox farm soil. My ground is pretty clay. First time outside grow. Clearly my soil is not good. It’s very small. I started it in mid June and put in ground the end of july.

The clay is the issue. Dries hard. Wets and swells. Redries hard. Destroys concrete slabs that do not use post-stress cable instead of rebar. Up. Down. Up. Down etc. Will stop roots in thier tracks.

Dang it. Guess no more outside grows. I’ll try to salvage it but may have to start over.

Our humidity has caused bud rot in all but 2or 3 of my outside girls, this weather has hit us all. Storm is definitely spot on about the dirt, looks like a lot of algae too, does it stay wet there?

Well i didn’t think so. It’s my garden. We have been dry and I’ve had to water garden so maybe it got too much. The rest of garden produced good.

I hate to be the one to say it, but I usually am… She’s a goner. Fried, and absolutely covered with dirt. Looks like there may be a little rot mixed in too. We live, we learn. I quit growing outside, period. Indoor way more control.

I would say for you to grow outside you gonna need to dig a bed an put potting soil in it. I would say 2ft deep, 3ft wide, 5ft long, and I would put a raised box around it to give a little more space for roots to grow.
I say that bc where I live in the south is all that red clay for soil here it sucks.

Thanks, everyone I appreciate all the advice. I will take it all to heart. I dug up the ones I had and put them in pots just to see what will happen. I’m sure they’re toast, but I’m not ready to give up yet. When I come back from my out of town trip, I will start some new seeds in pots and see what happens. I’m not ready to give up yet.

Try 20 gallon fiber grow bags before giving up outdoors or amend your native clay soil. In my 20 gallon fiber bags I use a mixture of ProMix along with either FoxFarm and/or other purchased garden soils. You can put a layer of your clay (1”-2 “) on the bottom to give the bag some weight to counter your next trees. I put river rock as a bottom layer to anchor and make it harder to steal.

I know exactly what clay you are talking about and if you do as suggested above with mixing clay your going to have the exact same problem.
And as for mixing soil and Promix together not a great idea as they are different mediums, one requires pH 6.5 the other is 6.0
You can do as you wish but mixing mediums is never a good idea IMHO Promix is like a coco choir not soil.
Also if you have to worry about someone stealing your plants from your yard outside growing is not the way to go.
Just my thoughts on the matter as a person from the south east.
