Do outside plants stretch in flower?

Cool! I cleaned up the bottom branches and trimmed away the damaged leaves. I'll watch my watering.

Quick question, when it's time to start providing nutes again, do I just mix a gallon between plain waterings, or something like that?

You may not need to. With no limits on how big her root system can stretch except time, she might be able to find everything she needs. I've had a plant in the ground since May 20th and she hasn't needed anything yet except water.

A little b1 vitamin or a couple drops per gallon of superthrive might help her recover quicker.

How much b1 per gallon?

that's a great looking plant jim ... be like jim

I'm going to go ahead and post this here, since there's already some history with this plant, before I head over to the plant problems forum.

I'm not sure what's going on here. I'm getting serious burning. I've been flooding her in an attempt to flush it. I have been seeing vertical growth, but whatever's going on is most likely stunting it's growth. I'm wondering if it's because of some of the soil I added. I had accidentally picked up some garden soil, instead of potting soil, so it's a mix of the two, in the ground. The garden soil smelled a little like manure, so maybe it's too strong for her. If I lose it, I won't be heartbroken. It was kind of a test to see if I wanted to grow exclusively outdoors next year, instead of indoors.

I plan on using FF, or equivalent, in all four spots next year.

To answer the OP's question, hell yeah! I flipped my current grow, Mr. G's '78 Cherry Bomb at 12 to 14 inches. Now, some 3 weeks later my girls are 43 inches and still growing taller. They have flower sites everywhere and continue to sprout more. I am going to pollinate so I will have seeds.

Sprout them and get them out in the sun. You will be amazed.

Man I'm not really sure which is why I hadn't commented yet.

BUT

It looks like mostly old-growth affected, and the new growth looks lush to me. It's plausible it has to do with the different soils, but I don't know that it looks like burning really. It looks to me like they are sucking the nutrients out of those leaves to grow the new growth.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if it was burn or deficiency, so I haven't given her any nutes. I'd hate to add some, just to have it burn more if it was already to hot.

I totally understand, I would wait for more second opinions I havn't grown in soil in 10 years. I've been running hydro with little SOG plants.

Hydro is where I'm comfortable too. I find my RDWC so much easier. Unless I have to trim some leaves or something, I spend less than 5 minutes in my growroom a day.
