*TL;DR at bottom. It was hardly morning when I woke up today. I got out of bed in a hurry at approximately 12pm. Shortly after waking up I threw up. It could be from the alcohol I consumed last night, or maybe the excessive amount of pizza I devoured. But that wasn't what made my heart sink to the ground. You see, every day when I wake up I go outside in my backyard. It's hardly a backyard really, being that I live in a gated community, the houses are condos stuck together. We each get maybe a 50 square feet space as a 'backyard'. Well this backyard has a privacy fence that you can see through, if you look at the right angle. And looking through my fence, you would see Tokyo (yes I named her). Tokyo being a 68 day old marijuana plant. Unfortuantely for me, Tokyo was not behind the fence like it should have been. This was an issue, since it was in a hole kind of, and therefore would have taken someone a few minutes to get to the plant and then move it. I found out a minute after that someone must have moved it to my side yard where it sat looking sickly. I hope I can revive this girl... I know she's female too because she is in flower at the moment. You see, I had to move Tokyo outside because I am a noob at growing. The first box I had constructed was sufficient, and yet it was way to short. Two rubbermaid boxes stacked on top of each other with some reflective tape and CFL lighting. So once Tokyo passed the height of the first box, I had to move her outside in hopes that I could get a better grow op set up while she lived outside. And she's been outside for approximately 30 days. Now living in South Carolina, I didn't have to worry about extremely cold nights, so I let her be. And if she died, oh well because I didn't have the resources to grow her inside. But now I do. I have a rather nice grow tent that I constructed a few days ago. I got everything set up, the big ass fan, the homemade CFL light fixture, and a homemade carbon filter. Needless to say it looks unprofessional but it will produce, I hope. --- So that's my story, Blades. I just want to grow for my own stash so I can stop asking my dealer for 2 grams of dank and get 1.6. I'm tired of spending money in general, so hopefully this will be a success. TL;DR: Thought the cops had taken my plant. Turns out I suspect it was some neighbor kids. I've moved her inside and she's now in flower. Hopefully I can pull some bud off of her in about 2 months.
So someone moved your plant and you... did what with it? Bring it back inside? Put it back where it was?
It's hard to explain, but because of the set up of how my neighborhood works, and where the plant was, it was undoubtedly some kid that moved the plant for whatever reason. But now it's inside the house, in my grow tent.
I've never really understood how people can just put a plant outside and grow it in their back yard, like how does that really work?
Essentially, like all plants the plant gets photosynthesis from the sun, air, and water. And thus it continues to grow, provided it is given enough water and sunlight. I did not put the plant outside, in hopes that it would grow and grow. I actually expected it to die, but it did not. And so, I've moved her inside and now she's going to produce me some bud!
