I've learned more in the past day on this forum then I have in the last 3 months of researching. Thanks for all the responses......

I do know one thing, this female is surely Indica. The leaves seem to be too wide for sativa. I'm sure its probably a mix of course but it seems to favor Indica characteristics....at least from what I've researched. I wish I had a really good camera so that I could take some real close up pics. The one camera that I have will not focus good enough to take close ups. I'm going to see if I can borrow a friends camera to take some pics and post them.

you originally said its planted outdoors in a pot, correct? and you also said it stopped growing at 28 inches.. I'd suggest moving it into a bigger pot or planting it directly in the ground. Alot of times once ur plant reaches the point where it has run out of room for root developement, the growth will stall. you will also get smaller buds, like the nickle sized ones you are describing.

good luck!

agreed on the note of plants overgrowing thier pots and low yeilds. HOWEVER... i have to say from MORE THAN ENOUGH past experience.. that trying to transplant anything with a rootball the size of a 5 gallon pot is gonna posed issues unless you have a couple extra sets of hands to hold the weight of that ball together while transplanting.
it wont kill them to do it roughly but on the same hand ive never been a huge fan of beating up on MJ`s roots. Just seems like one of those cardinal sins to me. I never seen it inscribed on any tablets but i have my own opinion in that respect. A 5 gallon ball of dirt at 8Lbs per gallon is gonna amount to alot of weight that is going to try to pull you plants roots apart once its not held together with some kind of container. I have (in the past) cut the bottoms out of 5 gallon buckets in extreme situations and just sat them onto disturbed earth with more than adequate success. I PERSONALLY suggest that..

I've been thinking about transplanting. Right now its in about a 4 gallon pot. The only problem is that I do not want to transplant it straight into the ground. The soil is clay based and I also want to be able to move the plant if needed......in extreme situations. I could buy a black 5 gallon bucket and replant in that....or if I can find a bigger bucket then I would use that also. I just have a feeling that transplanting it will really not go well. I can see all kinds of things happening that would really stress the plant. I'll go out today and see if I can find a bigger pot to transplant it in. I hope this goes well.......

id choose a 10 gallon or higher. a 4 to 5 gallon pot is hardly a difference.

Ok, so I transplanted it just now. I put it in a 20 gallon pot. The only problem now is that I won't be able to move it by myself anymore. I'll just have to put it in its spot and leave it alone...which is probably best. The only reason why I would want to move it is in extreme situations but hopefully I won't come across any of those. I took some pics so I'm going to try and post them. Check them out and let me know what you think.....

the white pistils should continue to turn red and die off. pretty soon you will have a brown bud around your stem. just use your fingers to pull the dead bud off from around the stem. that way no mold will try growing there. youll notice when the buds completly dead. it will look like any normal brown crispy leaf.

Will do, I'll keep a close watch on it. Can you smoke the flowers that fall off? Would it even be worth it? I'm curious to see how its going to do in the 20 gallon pot that I just transplanted it to. Hopefully it will take off now. I also tied it down so that it will not grow straight up. I really appreciate all the advice everyone has given me.....best of luck to everyone.

you could try clipping them off, but youd risk puncturing the stem. they wouldnt really get ya high anyway. maybe lightheaded for 5 minutes.
