Transplanting is highly stressful, especially the first few times you do it lol. It may be lost... I'd only water it as my screen is cracked since last talk, and it's hard to discern if the was any od on Nitrogen.
Here's plant diagnosis link I was referring to. It will likely be simple, the chance you'd have a molybdenum (chose a random micro nutrient) deficiency would be unlikely. I'd move it to a semi shaded region so the sun doesn't finish it off faster.
I too don't like the dead, and I love you know your mj folklore
if I weren't out of town painting my mom's new place I'd pull it up on the computer and take a better look, so my apologies there. And how the f is it that hot already? It snowed like 1.5 months ago

I like the shade idea. I'll try to adjust the ph, to get it to just over 6%. It was at between 5-5.5% when I measured it today with a new meter. Other than that, I'm gonna toss it under the apple tree, and pray to the reefer gods. Thanks for the link.
I'm glad someone got that joke. I've always loved weed. But was always too scared of mandatory minimums.
And Colorado is bipolar as hell. Today a 95, tonight will upper 50s. It'll be 98 this weekend, so I'm getting the hell out of town and camping. But since I work outside, I'll take a dry upper 90s over upper 80s in Nola. I don't miss the gulf coast this time of year.

I actually spent the summer of 98 in Highlands Ranch... had to get out before starting school at bama lol. I don't remember it being so hot, early. I still remember roasting in the lifeguard stand like I was in Florida though.

It's probably just a random heat wave. It'll still be low 60s at night. I'm getting out and camping near a creek. No central ac or swamp cooler at my place, and a cheap window unit ain't cutting it.

You died too young.
I'll have to do an investigation later. Maybe check the roots and dig through the soil. Transferring it killed it. But it didn't get much bigger from when I planted it. I think I had the ph too low from the start.
The rest have been looking great after transferring them into bigger containers, and trying down the limbs to get sunlight over more of the plant. The was very noticeable growth sheet just a couple days, a ton after a week.
The blue dream is doing great. Though it's leaves appear more sativa than I expected. But there seems to be a couple versions of this strain.
The purple dream looks like my healthiest. The only thing that concerns me is that they look like they are wanting to start flowering already. Not much, but I'm seeing it, and I'm afraid it's to too early.
I think this agent Orange plant is stunted, but is getting thick growth ever since switching pots.

You seriously need to mow your lawn.

I figured I'd make a July 4th update. Freedom isn't free. It cost $5-10 for a seed and $8-35 for a clone.
So, my indica plants are starting to enter flowering. Particularly the purple dream plants.
Small pieces of bud are appearing, and the sugar leaves are getting thick. I'm starting to get a little smell to them. I can also feel the stems getting resinous.
I had assumed this guy was stunted. But once temperatures left the mid to upper 90s, this thing exploded.
Those fan leaves are bigger than my hand. But I think with the heat and being one of my younger plants, she's my only heavy indica that isn't flowering.
My blue dream is over 4' now, but isn't showing any signs of flower yet. I've decided I'm going to top this plant. I'm gonna have to building a ghetto greenhouse, and I'm afraid this thing may get 12' tall.
Some of the short, bushy are plants that I've started super cropping. It's been working well, and spreading out the limbs to give them more light. My Durban is particularly short, but has been thriving since training a couple thick limbs. Just don't try super cropping after coming off psychedelics. I broke a couple limbs, but as able to repair one of them. It's something I should've started a couple months ago, but this first grow is about baby steps. Once I start growing indoors during the fall, I'll do things right from the get go.
Overall, they're looking good. Hopefully those indica plants finish earlier than the rest. If I end up with a few pounds to harvest once, I'm looking at 30-40 man hours to trim it. It would be nice to spread that out over a couple/few weeks. If not, I'll have to fire up the smoker and throw a trimming party.

They're looking nice for a first attempt. I'm gonna be out in Denver next month, I look forward to consuming my daily limit of a 1/2 oz or whatever non residents get.
Instead of topping you can try bending them down a bit with string and a stake in the ground. I try not to frick with them too much once preflowering starts. I totally get why you may have to trim the main one though, can't be that guy with plants up above the fence line. You could get another 12-18 inches by digging a few holes and setting the pots below grade. You may get a little better moisture retention as well. Overall doing great, can't wait until you get to
them.

Good news, the law was changed. Non residents can now buy up to an ounce, not just a quarter anymore. I think it was a big fu to Nebraska and Kansas for suing Colorado. And that ounce is not only for flower, but concentrates too. Look in the back of the free Westword magazines, and they advertise a ton of specials. I've seen ounces of wax or shatter for as low as $400.
I've decided against topping. I can get creative and experimental when I start indoors, since I'll have plenty to smoke from this grow.
I'm still going to build a small hoop house, since there's no doubt a couple will grow over the fence. I've already tied down a lot of branches with string. I'll have to do the same with those top colas. I like the idea of digging a large hole if the plants get too big. I guess time will tell.

Yes it has. The weed is now stronger than the old Moroccan hash, some greater than 30% thc. The concentrates, like wax or shatter, usually range from 60-80% thc. They've even made a concentrate that's 95%+ thc. Which is fricking absurd.
Also in Colorado, it's rarely in a baggy. It's almost always in a child proof pill bottle. If not, they require a child proof exit bag. But the stuff in a bag is preweighed, and usually isn't as good.

For most people, yes. I won't give an occasional smoker a dab, unless it's right before sleep.
I prefer flower. But sometimes I want a dab. It's pretty similar to the beer/wine vs liquor debate. I usually want tip enjoy a tasty glass. But sometimes, you want a shot.

Hah. I never thought of it like that. Pretty accurate, though inexperienced smokers are way more naive to the effects of concentrates than a non-drinker would be to a single shot.
Is there any push in CO for a lower-potency strain for those of us who like the relaxing buzz without the insanity of the professional strains?

Kind of. There's a push to ban any weed over 16%, but that won't happen. It's just political grandstanding.
What I highly recommend, and I think should be very popular and recommended for the occasional or novice users, are high CBD stains. Not stains like Charlotte's web, with less than 1% thc, but stains with a 1:1 CBD/thc ratios. Harlequin is a great one, and probably the most well known of the 1;1's. But I've also tried Ambulance and Dance World.
CBD is the well known medicinal cannabinoid. But it's known to have a very relaxing effect. I think harlequin is damn near perfect for most users at 10-12% cbd & thc . Enough thc to get you high with a hit or two, but a lot of CBD to keep it relaxing. Sativas are known as an uplifting high, but can cause anxiety for some people.
I've bought some ambulance shatter that tested around 30-35% thc and CBD. I really enjoyed it.
Oh, and inexperienced smokers pretty much have a problem with all modern cannabis. It's insane how strong it's become. That's why there's been a spike in er visits and overdosing on edibles. A rookie will consume an amount 10x greater than what they need. And if they do that with a sativa, they freak the hell out.

Great information
I hope the Mrs and I can make it out to Colorado (without the kids) for a little tourism. We fall right in the middle of the novice category (been YEARS), but sounds like fun. I also don't want to "be that guy" who bites off more than he can chew.
Jeeze the world is changing. Keep up the good work! This has been a fun thread to follow.

No problem. I've seen too many enter zombie mode.
Try weedmaps.com to find dispensaries. They often have menus from different places. I'd try a little harlequin and maybe an absurdly for the hell of it (my favorite lately is ghost train haze or blue dream, but not all dispensaries are equal, so the same strain can vary from place to place). If you want to try edibles, start with 10 mgs, then wait an hour. Edibles kick my arse and last as long tune, so I only do them before flights.
And if you're going to the mountains, buy while you're still in Denver or the burbs. It's very expensive once you get past golden.

It's been awhile. Fall is here. And football isn't the only thing I'm excited about.
Pretty much all my bitches are flowering. Only two haven't quite gotten to that point, and are in a preflower stage, my Blue Dream and my Platinum Girl Scout Cookies.
The blue dream is huge. Very thick and about 5.5' tall from the top of the pot. I left them all in 10 gallon pots. This plant has only grown 6-8" in the last month and half. If I had put it in a 50 gallon pot, that thing couldn't gotten huge. But I'm in a burb, and my neighbor runs a business involving children, so I decided a 12' plant hanging over the fence was a bad idea. Just because it's legal, doesn't mean you shouldn't be courteous.
This deformed looking plant is my PGSC. Notice the duct tape on the bottom. A couple branches were broken during a bad wind storm. I braced them back and was able to salvage them. It's a pretty durable plant. I don't know if the stress delayed flowering, or if it's just a late boomer because of it's genetics. But the damaged branches are getting extra sunlight, so that may have increased my yield.
Now for the good stuff...
This beauty is my Mango Tango. The only clone that survived the April blizzards. She's flowering beautifully right now. Definitely deformed and stunted, but should still give out at least few ounces.
She's frosty as hell, and smells amazing. As well as the high phosphorus nutrients, I've been giving my plants molasses. This is supposed to help make the buds taste sweeter by including carbohydrates.
My purple dream plants are weird as hell. Now matter how much phosphorus I throw on it, it stays yellowish with heavy purple stems, and now purple leaves. It's both plants, both in a different grow medium (one organic soil, one miracle grow) and they are strange. I thought they would flower first, yet they are just now taking off. These have stressed me out from day one. It better be bomb, or I'll never grow it again.
But they're pretty as hell. I call it my dragon bud.
Indica plants can be weird. Apparently numerous strains don't absorb phosphorus like other strains, causing odd colors. It's technically a genetic defect. It can also be caused by cooler temperatures. So if you get purple weed, it may not be a good thing.
This is my Chiesel. I was worried at first, until I saw other photos of plants people have grown. It didn't get as big as I'd hoped. I probably will stay away from any indica that may have any purple genetics.
Apparently it's normal. Adding nutrients just makes it more purple. It's definitely flowering very nicely. Apparently indicas flower much early, which makes considering their geographic heritage.
This big one is my Lee Roy. A good name for a southern baw. I guess being a hybrid, it's in between in flowering, but very healthy.
With so many different strains, I expect to them to finish different times between now and Halloween. I may have to eventually being them into a tent at night with a space heater, because it gets Coker in October at night in Colorado.
The rest are doing damn good. I figure I'll harvest my Mango in a couple weeks. I need to hurry up and get a magnifying glass, to time my harvest correctly. If I wait too long, it will begin to lose potency.
Here's a few more pics of the ladies...

You're gonna want to stop throwing so much phosphorous at the one with purpling stems and leaves. It will lead to a nutrient lockout. With that said some purpling is influenced by day vs night temperature differential. I was just in the mountains last week, seen it fricking snow lol, but we are getting close to the 20 degrees difference that brings that coloring out... but it doesn't need more phosphorous ATM, trust me. I turned a coiple damn near black my first round with winter hydro lol.
You're looking good though overall. Can't wait until you're harvesting and blazing through the end of football season.
Up by winter park I did find some flowers listed at 28%... I believe it was the white crossed to chem 3/sister, I opted for something a little lower %. Sativa dominant selection is low, but I found some nice honey badger haze... which has no actual haze in it smfh, honey badger dgaf.
