HELP! did my plants bolt or is this normal

[chefgod901]

Newbie gardener and grower here. I noticed a few weeks ago that my ‘buddies‘ appear to be bolting. the plants are roughly 4.5’ tall, very thin stem and bunches of what I assumed were seed pods, and leaves that are very sparse. last week I noticed that some of the seed pods appear to have opened but it looks like what dried bud looks like. wishing this time frame, they were fed with a mix of big bloom and grow big (mixed with a gallon of water).

the buddies were started indoors (windowsill) then moved outdoors in a partially shady area in my veggie garden. I potted them in a mix of garden soil and compost (like the rest of my garden).

Did the fert mix screw then up? Or did they bolt due to the heat?

Any tips?

That’s a male... we are aware of this? I’m pretty high..... so I could just be not understanding what you are asking. I saw bug dmg as well and some burning. The leaves are weird

Growing a crop of males it seems.

 

[chefgod901]

I sure hope you're not my neighbor.

LOL. Yikes man! Not kidding even a tiny little bit.

the leaves are weird because what would normally be packed with buds are not packed with buds, leaving only the leaves Boy plant cooties.

 

[AccidentalGardener]

They're nice boys though. Really Good practice for next time.

The 901 has one of the smallest areas for area codes I know of so you'd have to be in the extreme southwest of TN in the tri state area near Memphis.

Funky 😅. You are crazy in a good manner 🤣👍🏻

 

[chefgod901]

so they can bolt?

 

[chefgod901]

I dont know if cannabis can bolt. This just looks similar to other plants in my garden that did. This year I planted a shit load of bok choy in my veggie garden. In a matter of day they all bolted.

 

[chefgod901]

should i be concerned if other plants are nearby? not sure what to do with these guys now... collect the seeds, try again?

 

[CaptainWiese91]

They won’t produce seeds unless you have a female also bro

 

[chefgod901]

yeah my broccolini and broccoli did the same.

 

[chefgod901]

gotcha

You can always collect the pollen from it and you can rub some on just a couple buds next year for some free seeds. They will be regular seeds but free ones. I've never stored it so I couldn't tell you how, I know you freeze it but someone else would have to explain the details
