So this is my First grow but before i get into all the details of where i am right now...i'm going to tell the little story behind this miracle.

So in December i planted 10 bagseeds as my first experiment in a Large Pot.
I didn't do any research, I didn't have any materials, I Just Threw seeds in a pot and let them go.

That white border seperating the plants are paper plates, i had no idea roots can and will break right through the plates to get water. Regardless i went about caring for my plant the best way i knew how. Blindly watering the plants every day caused the roots to rot after about 2 weeks and every plant died. Defeated, i put the dead plants and my enthusiasum for growing mj on the back porch.

So on The 4th of July my friends and i decided to watch fireworks off my back porch. In the middle of the fireworks display one of my friends said to me "Hey is this weed?" I looked over and saw he saw pointing to the old pot i put on the porch months before. I told him "Naw, thats probably weeds, i tried to grow some weed in that pot a while ago but they all died". He agreed forgot about the plant. We went on watching the fireworks without incident. After everyone left i went back on the porch to inspect the old pot (just to see what he was talking about). It was covered in trash, ash, and other garbage. As i got closer to the pot i could see a green plant pokeing out from under some of the garbage. I Quiclky cleared the pot of trash and garbage and what do u know. 1 Lone Plant braved the elements I named him Logan.

nice plant, and cool story..some of those shade leaves can come off, it'll make the bud and under bush, much thicker, and shade leaves are inefficient, and take alot of energy for the plant to support, it's actually better to remove them. They are designed to protect the bud from the intense sun rays, but obviously you don't have a sun pointed at them :)
The plant will redirect that energy into growing bud. :D
 
Thanks 4 the good vibes! I think I am going 2 change the name tho, sorry nerf buddy lol.
"Loganna" princess ganja! ...thx Tronix once I clip those shade leaves i'll put some more pics up, i appreciate the weed solar factory lesson

Any other suggestions welcome!....lol i had 2 laugh @ princess ganja when i read this over, i'm pretty fried
 
I should have been more vigilant *sadface* Thanks for all the Help,
She was doing so great, but the spider got too crazy! And after a run in with my EVIL landlord i had no where to nurse for the hurt baby.

Feeedback: If i could do 1 thing different i would stay away from the homemade tobacco juice remedy, at least when ur baby has serious infestation...O Gee (it hurts)

Positive: Ive Learned alot! and i'm planning my next grow as we speak! If you fail to plan...U kno the rest!
 
From what i learned in grow classes, do not remove leaves, or top plants, as it stunts, or shocks their growth. The leaves are actually the plants little "solar panels" and they feed the plant its most vital needs..Just putting this out there in case anyone else reads it. RoorRip
