Guam outdoor grow. 2 plants Afghan Kush. Temps hit high 80's and low 90's. Humidity high 70-80%. Soil Fox Farm's Ocean Forest.
My first mistake: I selected 1 gal containers for short statured plants, more stealthy. They are very short at this point. Maybe 18 inches. Also no nutes in veg, none available.

My second mistake: I topped one and it worked. I FIM'd the other and it didn't work. I guess I FIRM'd it (fuck I REALLY missed). Anyways, my plants were two weeks old and I went to the Philippines for 10 days. When I got back I realized the FIM didn't work and topped it for 2 colas. Here's my mistake, I didn't realize the plants were already flowering. I thought they were just showing sex. So I topped the main stalk while it was in flower. It's trying to flower and grow two colas at the same time. Oh well, I'm learning. Pic of two baby colas...

My third mistake: Plants are hermies. Not sure what happened. Due to high humidity and heat? I left these in the backyard unattended for 10 days while in the Philippines. Only tropical rain watered them. Maybe they had a stretch of several days with no water and stressed? Who knows? One plant had a couple male balls, the other had a small group of 5 or 6 balls. I removed them all. Still hoping for some mediocre bud and some feminized seeds. Seeds are hard to come by on Guam. Took me a year to find these two seeds. I won't cry if I end up with some seed stock.
Here's some more pics of plants at about 5 weeks, I guess about 1 week into flower. Folks, how am I doing? Any suggestions. Can I move to a 3 gallon pot or will I shock the plants at this point. Next grow will be better. Like I said, I'm still learning...

As far as nutes. I have Fox Farm's Grow Big. I've been feeding 4 tsp. per gallon of water, 2 feedings a week. I can get the rest of the Fox Farm nutes (Big Blooms, Tiger Blooms, Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, Cha Ching). That's one option. Other options available to me: Earth Juice Bat Guano Grow and Primal Harvest, Fox Farm's Bat Guano, Bone Meal and Marine Cuisine, Liquid Karma supplement, B'Cuz A and B and a few others I can't remember. I didn't want to start snapping pictures of all the nutes in the middle of the store...lol.
In a couple pics, you can see one or two fan leaves that are spent near the bottom. That was due to bugs at ground level munching on the leaves. I moved the plants to a rooftop grow and that stopped the bugs. Also on the plant where I screwed up the FIM, you can see the fan leaves near the top where the tips are missing due to the screwed up FIM. Otherwise, I think I am doing moderately okay.
I'm open to all tips, comments and suggestions. Thanks for looking!![bongsmilie bongsmilie bongsmilie](/styles/smilies/bong7bp.gif)
