2 Guys 1 Plant

I would go ahead and put a tomato cage around that plant. It's not getting enough sun so it's stretched pretty tall and with all the weight of the foliage up top, as it grows and gets heavier, it could easily fall over. I would top the plant. Actually, it should've already been topped before now, but cutting the top out of it will make it bush some more instead of just running straight up. It's got really wide nodal spacing so it's going to be tall and lanky naturally, so just go ahead now and give it the support. Make sure where you've got it planted that it's getting good drainage. But overall, the plant looks really healthy at this point. They are so much easier to grow outside and if you've been blessed with naturally rich soil, like you guys obviously have, you don't need a bunch of extra nutes poured on it. The soil will do the majority of the feeding for you and as long as it is the correct coloring and you don't see anything strange going on with it, I'd leave it alone. When you do give nutes, basically plant food, be sure to give a weaker than recommended dose to begin with...like maybe 1/4 of what they say. You can always give more, but if you put too much in and burn the plant because of it, it's done. I think it's mostly just a ploy to sell more of the stuff if you ask me, and I've found that growing both outdoor and indoor, I don't need near what they suggest I give to get nice plants with beautiful buds. Light is much more important than nutes anyway and the more light your plant gets, the better harvest you'll end up with. Looking good so far. Keep up the good work! TWW

 

Sorry, just now saw this. But topping a plant is just cutting the top out of it. This will take one stem and cause it to make two and create more bud sites on your plant. We generally do this 2 or 3 times during the time the plant is coming up in the veg stage to get all the bud sites we can on one plant. The foliage under the tops is always what suffers from lack of lighting. We flower with 4, 1000 watt hps fixtures per room so we get good development throughout the plant...growing mostly hybrid sativas. But when you get into some of the indica strains that have very tight node spacing, unless you have the strength and quality of light you need, you won't get much development below the tops at all. So having more bud sites at the top just gives you more good buds at harvest if you have less than stellar lighting or less than what your plant needs or could use. I'm sure there are tons of threads on here talking about topping your plant and they call it several fancy names, but it's just pinching buds off to cause the shoot to split into 2. Again, sorry I took so long to get back to you. TWW

 

Definitely an exciting ordeal this plant looks great should be a good yield especial since the cost was ZERO! awesome job guys

 

Shouldnt matter that its in your regular garden. And u only wanna defoliate old yellowing leaves id leave it alone other then that
