Whats up yall, I was camping in the woods in May and I found a box of small pot plants. I took them home and planted them in pots and they're growing outside. They seemed to be doing pretty well, but for about two weeks they seem to have grown very little, and a lot of leaves are falling off. Any pot growers here? Should I put more guano on them? I put guano on them once, about a month and a half ago.
the plants in the foreground you should repot. dig the plants out (try to be careful not to damage the roots), add a buttload more soil to that pot and put the plant back in. a bit more high nitrogen fertilizer (guano) should help with growth too. be careful of overwatering. let it get dry before watering again. try to maximize the amount of sunlight the plants are getting. when they start getting less than a certain amount each day, the plant will pretty much stop with vegetative growth and will move into the flowering phase. use a high potassium fertilizer at that point to maximize flowering. wait until 70% of the hairs on your flowers have withered before harvesting (you can check trichromes too and want your buds to have firmed up

good advice, thanks. fragageddon, the reason theyre growing outside is because i dont have a light or ballast.

Also the environment looks dry (wood panel cracking in background)
Just an observation - good luck
the environment is very dry... Boulder, Colorado.
By the way, i have these little plastic trays to put under the pots to keep the water there. is this ok, or will it over water my plants?
I know, but I told my neighbor about them before I put them out, and its hard to see them from the ground. Plus if i moved them indoors theyd probably suffer because theyre adapted to sun light.

Ballers can't afford a damn lightbulb? :lol:
its not about what I can afford man, if I grew them indoors I'd have to make space in my closet for a bunch of plants
