my plant grows upwards

Ah I was unclear, in fact when I observe other growers’ plants their plants first grow closer to the ground. While mine was climbing very fast in the direction of the sun which makes a plant a little weak. I don’t know if you understand what I mean?

do you think the jar is too small? if so I would change the pot for a bigger one as soon as possible. And I’m also thinking of turning to Low Stress Training if you think it’s a good idea.

I also apologize for my bad English I use Google translation :laughing:

The plant might be tall and skinny because of genetics, or because not enough light exposure.

Yes, you should repot it soon. After you repot it, water around the edges of the pot to make the roots seek out water, try not to water too much were the root ball is.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she lacked a bit of light, because she was at my window and I don’t think that’s enough for her. I’m going to leave her outside now and bring her in at night because the temperatures are too low. Also, what temperatures are too extreme for my plant? (too cold or too hot).

Would you rather advise me to put it directly in a very large pot or to do an intermediate stage before? Knowing that I intend to plant it in my garden before the end of the vegetative phase.

Have a read here to see ideal temperatures thorough the plant stages. If you are under or over the ideal ranges, then you are in either extreeme cold or extreeme hot and the plant will be stressed out. :point_right: Cannabis Temperature Tutorial

I think either a 3gallon or a 5 gallon pot would be fine. If you don’t mind the work of transplanting, and you are careful with your roots in the process… you can got to 3gallon next, then 5gallon, then in the ground I think. Please note that I am an indoor grower :slight_smile:

Make sure to use a mycorrhizae inoculant when transplanting… spread it all over the roots to help them explode into the new pot/home.

I went to read your article and if I understood correctly, temperatures below 15 degrees are not recommended for young plants. So I’m annoying because in the region where I live the temperatures do not yet exceed 10-15 degrees. So I hesitate between leaving it outside so that it receives enough light or leaving it inside while waiting for more adequate temperatures.

About the transplant, I will do as you told me. However I am not sure to find a mycorrhizal inoculant, does it make a big difference to use it or not?

Yeah, I guess you should keep them inside the house to stay warm.

It is not Essential to use mycorrhizal inoculant, but the results are fantastic when you use it. It will just speed up the root growth once you repot it. They sell on amazon and if you have a garden supply store, they might have it.

Ok ok well I’m going to keep her warm and I’ll put her outside when the temperatures allow it.

And I would go see in the gardening stores if I find this product and if so I would use it, if it can allow my plant to develop better I will not neglect it. :grin:

Anyway, thank you for all the time you gave to my questions, it really helps me a lot as a beginner!

it is my pleasure, as they say: a friend with weed, is a friend indeed :slight_smile:

Here are a few more tips:
→ Consider buying a lamp, and add a Grow Light Bulb for about $30, to give your plant more light in the house. Can buy online, amazon or hardware stores, or garden/grow stores
→ Make sure you are giving a little bit of fertilizer at this stage, doesn’t need much, but she will be hungry for nutrients at this stage.
→ Start making some electroculture antennas, and stick them in the soil, pointing North. Make a small one for when it is a pot and since you are going to plant it into the ground, you can built larger antennas to stick in the ground. I made a thread about electroculture and it has A LOT of information and guides: :point_right:https://social.growithjane.com/t/electroculture-sound-and-other-ethereal-techniques-with-cannabis-thread/44757?u=rasta_free-man

I really like this saying!
In any case, thank you again, I will apply all your precious advice and I hope to obtain a beautiful plant by October. :grin:
I will surely keep you informed of the progress of my plant on the forum or if I ever have other questions so I hope to have the pleasure of exchanging with you again!
I would love to read your article! Although I’m not sure I understood what it was exactly. :laughing:

I’m sorry, I just remembered one last thing that worries me. The leaves of my plant tend to fall downwards. However they do not look unhealthy only they are pointing down. I wonder then what is it, too much water or too little? Could you tell me? :sweat_smile:

Can you send pictures? I know it sounds crazy, but it sounds like either over-watering, or it needs water :laughing:

So essentially, without a picture, if the soil is dry, give it some water, if the soil is wet, let it dry out :slight_smile:

I can send a photo on Friday, currently I’m not at home. But after watering it yesterday during the day, it seems in better shape this morning, its leaves have straightened up and the soil that was dry is soft again. I think the problem was a lack of water. :laughing:
What made me doubt was that the leaves started falling last week when I watered it, maybe I put too much water I don’t know.

What type of soil are you using? It looks like mostly dirt from outside? You need to have soil & Perlite mixed for water drainage. Also important for the pot to have drainage hole at the bottom. When you water, water it until a bit of water comes out the bottom. THen you should have to water it for about 5 days or more at this stage.

Over watering is watering it too often. When the soil is dry, you can add water until it drains. then leave it again until it gets fairly dry.

When the plant leaves are pointing up, they are praying and happy, if they are drooping down from the stem, it needs water.

Yes I used soil found in my garden and potting soil. I did 2/3, 1/3 of potting soil. Do you advise me to use only potting soil and perlite? (however I’m not sure I found perlite either, I don’t know what it is :laughing:)
And I think I clearly wasn’t watering enough, now I’m going to do as you told me!

I think potting soil only would be best. The soil in the ground is okay, when it is in the ground. Perlite is the little white balls that look like rocks in potting soil. They absorb water and also ensure drainage.

Ok ok well I would only put potting soil. For perlite, do I have to mix it with my potting soil? How much should you put in?
And I was wondering, what type of lamp should you take? I think there must be many different ones and I confess to not knowing which one is the most suitable?

The potting soil should already had perlite in it, usually looks like this:

Since you will plant outside later, don’t spend too much money on light, can buy any grow light bulb to add extra light.

haa okay I would look for this soil! And it’s true that I don’t need a very, very good lamp. Especially since I’m going to put it in the ground in a month or two. I don’t know exactly when yet. I would look for an entry-level lamp.
