New Grower Another First Timer, Fast and Vast, Blue Diesel

[Steve Austin]

I made it out to my grow. Not really sure what to think. On day 23 they're over a foot tall, but they've already started to flower. I was hoping for a little more stretch before this happened. However, as this is my first time I have nothing to compare this to. I'm not sweating it, but I wonder if they'll even make it to 8 weeks at this rate.

You should also see some insect damage in the pics.

Day 23
Watered with Grow from Dyna Grow

If you want them to be tall then make sure for sure to put them in forever home fast!..That tap root hits bottom fast..also what are your night temps could have something to do with it?if you dont think that it then PH issue?They will still get allot taller before they get to full flower over or under watering will affect it also...i think they look GREAT! Are there bugs?

The pots they're in have no bottoms so I don't think it's a tap root thing. They are in a rather hot location, upper 90s day, lower 70s at night.

Yeah all the plants had lower leaves that were eaten on. I pulled the really bad ones off.

Real nice outdoor grow Steve! Looking good from where I'm sittin! The neem will help and dont forget to spray the underside of the leaves!

I'm feeling better about my grow now. I found some videos of a F & V indoor grow HERE. I think my plants are pretty comparable to his at week 3. So if my plants follow his plants trajectory (He hit week 5, 4 days ago.) I'll be very happy.

Hey everyone I could use some input on this.

I want to put some tomato cages around my plants next weekend, but I'm trying to keep it on the down low as much as I can, and 9 shiny new cages in my cannabis cove would kind of stand out. Now my girlfriend suggested painting them with green and brown paint to camouflage them. I like this idea, but here is my question. Will the paint affect my plants?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Will the paint affect my plants?

Not at all. Just be sure to paint before you install them!
