I apologize ahead of time for probably not using the correct vocabulary or terminology (still a noob)
This is my first real shot at trying to grow my own bud. I live in Colorado wayyyyyy out of the way so security is NO problem.
I bought a plant from a legal licensed grower for $20. The strain is Jack Herer (heavy sativa) and is about a foot- 1.5 feet tall.
My plant is in a large whole I dug and filled with good soil. I have been tracking daylight and am looking to get 8-11 hours of Direct daylight per day.
I have been watering it moderately twice a day (morning, mid-afternoon).
I am NOT new to smoking but AM a Noob when it comes to growing.
What do I do about flies and other insects? I don't want to use pesticides!
Am I watering correctly? More/less?
I have read online that you can give your plant direct and indirect sunlight, with as much direct sunlight as I'm getting, should I make an effort to pursue more indirect light in place of direct sunlight?
I have picked off all leaves that have begun to turn brown at all, I was told you should do this so your plant doesn't spend lots of energy trying to repair a doomed leaf.
I've heard of topping, so that your plant doesn't get too tall, and I've heard of trimming the sides to make it grow taller.
I have also heard of putting certain 420-friendly chemicals in with my plant when it gets of age to help it grow, I am clueless in this area
I planted it in the middle of July, when should I expect to cut it down? How tall should I expect it to get in that time period?
I'll save the hangin drying and all that other stuff for another thread.
I am very committed to making this process as successful as possible! I am going here for quantity, a little more than quality if that helps!
Any help, advice, or tips are very much appreciated! Thank you to ALL responders!
