Don't Freak Out over Droopy Landrace Cannabis Plants

When growing landrace plants from seed, there may be a 1-2 week (or more) period where the plant is getting big and wants to get out of its pot, but it still has not shown if it is male or female. Some plants are more finicky and express their discontent more dramatically than others, but don't freak out... they are not dying, they are just not stoked. Just know that once they show their sex, you will be able to move them into a larger space, or even unlimited space if planted in the earth... and once in their final garden destination, they will quickly start expanding their roots, uptaking nutrients, and they will kick into vigorous growth mode! If you freak out over the droop or a slight lightening of their color at this point, and start feeding them or transferring them to a bigger pot, you may actually delay them showing their sex, and end up with a huge unmanageable plant that is now even more root bound and pissed off, and still not showing its sex.... also, at this stage, late May, many of the plants have burned through much of the nutrient in the pot soil, so I will give them a light top feeding, but not too much - cause again, you don't want them getting much bigger while in the pots. My point - just know they are not getting stunted or damaged during this stage, even if they look droopy or lighter in color.... once they show female or male, you can then immediately transplant them into their final garden destination, where they will then get very happy and thrive! (also - be aware it may take a week or more after transplanting them to their final garden spot to see any signs of happiness above ground - just know that most of the energy and work is happening underground with the roots spreading out. Once the roots are well established, suddenly the above ground growth will be explosive) Hope that helps - feel free to ask questions, or share recommendations... I'm always looking for new and better ways to do things, so I ain't preaching, just sharing how I do things, and always curious to hear how other folks grow this amazing plant :)
