I don't live in a dry environment like yours, but when i grew outdoors I always had to mulch the pots. Also you can do a solar style refrigerator , that's where you take a bigger pot and place your pot in the center surrounded by sand , water the sand daily when the water evaporates it's a cooling effect. It's an old hippy trick, and the sand needs to be 4/6" thick.
What ever you do stop cutting on it lol.
Thanks, I like that sand in the pot around the pot, for my pot.... I'm going to try it. I will also put the scissors away.

Looks good. Your going to have to move her indoors full time during flowering if it is a girl because even the desert is going to be to cold in the winter for a week or two
. I mean it got so cold one year I wore a jacket for a few days. Did you do any reading on flowering? What lighting type and wattage you are using from home depot?Hi, I'm using the cheapest single bulb unit they had....Looks good.

OK. Have you purchased any marijuana grow books.
a couple of good ones are:
The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible by Jorge Cervantes
or
Marijuana Grower's Handbook by Ed Rosenthal
The forums are great, the books will help as the forums will sometimes have misinformation.
I feel for you not having access to great weed, growing your own and doing it well allows you to have access to better weed than you can imagine.
I know when I bring her in at night there are small gnats that fly around the soil of the pot.

Ok then you know the problem. So Its a good news bad news issue. Good news you know the problem and its fixable. Bad news lots of work involved now.
1. By bringing plant in and out its got bugs so does your indoor area. Take plant outside treat for bugs.
2. Clean entire indoor area top to bottom with bleach solution.
3. Dont bring plant outside anymore.
sometimes it takes more then 1 treatment depending on what bug remedy you use
I know this may sound crazy but I enjoy kicking back one my porch sitting next to my plant enjoying the sun. Is there a way to treat the plant naturally to resist the bugs, and use the inside light only a substitute in case of severe cold and cold nights to keep her in veg?

you can try crab meal or insect frass, but i don't think they're very effective, and i don't think they make "off" for plants
I was thinking a chili based water spray perhaps...

Looks a little over watered. It is stressed for sure. Up pot it into moist soil. Good draining soil. Don't water it when you up pot it. Just moist soil so the roots grow out in search of water.
Edit: I took a second look. Let it dry out some. Moisture stress.

That is a common problem for a new grower. Love them to death. Its almost guaranteed the first grow will be over watered.
I just thought of something with the help of some great advice... because my plant it is outside I was informed that the problem based on symptoms may be bugs.... I also believe that because the only watered area in my desert backyard is my plant, the bugs may be even more attracted to the moisture.
I also was educated that the container that I use is getting heated up by direct sunlight which is in essence steaming the roots of the plant.
Although I didn't mention it, here in the desert here we get a bit of wind,....
So What I am going to try is using a adjustable stacked box system where I can adjust the direct light to the plant and also control the amount of wind.
In addition I am going to boil down some cilantro / red pepper water spray to deter the pesky bugs.....
I hope this works. I want to be sure that the plant can get as much real sunlight, augment with led grow lights as a secondary filler to keep the plant in a vegetative state.... The levels can be adjusted for plant height and wind speed through the vents...
i can see your point, But desert people were growing weed before we had lights....I guess the if I want to grow up here out of season i will need to wait until the spring.....bummer
I know you are right... it is kinda like I knew something was wrong and all I could think of doing is watering it.... Im going to let the soil dry out before she gets anymore watering

it wasn't really the climate i was talking about. it was repeatedly exposing it to an environment that already seems to have harmful insects in it, which you then carry inside.
I see. Thanks
Once I get enough veg going, my plan is to bring it inside full time because I am sure it will be way to cold by then for anything outside. Hopefully by that time I can afford a inside basic grow system....I just really need to be sure to have a filter system. My last plant that went Herm had such a powerful scent. At first putting it in the bathroom at night was great, but by the time the flowers came in, it was scenting up my whole house. Plan this time is the garage.... if I can just get enough veg going...
