Hoping to find an answer or two, so please be kind.

Have sexed two plants in pots and both are ladies...placed in my garden on 1 Jul and they have really taken off. Yet, I've noticed several white hairs have turned brown/orange and some appeaar to have retracted into the little pod they were growing out of.

What's up?

Yep...sexed her inside 12/12 then moved her and large container outside...growing like crazy both in height and leaf generation. a gazillion white hairs at every node, yet some appear to mhave turned brown at the tips and a few appear to have withdrew and retracted back into her "pod"????

They're retracting back into the calyx because the days are still longer than 12/12 outside. The plants are returning to veg state. Don't worry, this is perfectly normal. THey're turning brownish because they were'nt fertilized by the male pollen.

So am I OK...am getting a lot of new growth and new calyx almost at every new node...and with the new leaf formation, new white hairs...so I should just keep the girls "close" and water when needed...when do you think I will start to get buds forming?

They will be fine bro. They probobly partially reverted back to veg, but seeing how every day is getting shorter than they should be flowering again after a short while. By the beginning of next month the hours where i live ( northern us) are about 14/10, which in most cases will cause a plant to start flowering, just at a slower pace.

I purchased my seeds for Swiss Cheese from Nirvana Seed Co. and the strain details say harvest in September. I'm assuming that its late Sept because I haven't begun flowering yet (I don't think). Anyways, I too, live in New England, and you saying that the days are now short enough for flowering is music to my ears. I can't wait to see the blooms! 8 weeks is my finishing time for bud for my strain. Any day now....:hump:

Got a new question for you guys...I think I have both a Sativa and a Indica growing in large pots in my garden...both are girls!!! One is taller with long pointed leaves, the other is shorter, smaller fatter and greener leaves...the problem is that the tall one is starting to have its leaves at the bottom turn pale...is this just normal? Everything else is good with this plant, should I just chill...Still no colas, probably too early
