my friend planted the seeds after soaking them over night and after two weeks of growing
we walked about .6 of a mile and quickly replanted

the leafs died down they started drooping so what can we do to help them grow better? (since we cant afford it just yet we don't have pots and its planted straight into the ground we decided we have about 30 more seeds and by this Friday we will have 50$ so would it be safe assuming we should plant later? when we have more cash to grow? we are also thinking about doing an indoor setup but we heard it gets real expensive we are just trying to grow about an ounce or two in the next 3 months or 4

please help us out thanks with anything you can provide :)

I wouldent water more than once a day. Any more than that and it may cause problems like root rot. Marijuana dosent like soaking wet soil. As for fertilizers your choices are limitless but the basic rule to remember is they need more nitrogen during veg and more phosphorus with very little nitrogen during flower. The amount of nitrogen, potasium and phosphorus in a fertilizer is determined by the NPK numbers on the label. The N stands for nitrogen, the P stands for phosphorus and the K stands for potasium. For example, a fertilizer that has a NPK of 10-5-3 would have 10% nitrogen, 5% phosphorus and 3% potasium. Good luck, any other questions feel free to ask.

Not an exact number just something with higher nitrogen. This stuff is great. It's organic which is a plus for so many reasons, it has the right NPK and it also contains micro nutrients that plants need. It's available at Wal-Mart, Home Depot and lots of other local stores. Be Warned- It smells terrible lol.

That must be an old photo as Alaska Fish Fertilizer is no longer OMRI listed. Good shot of nitrogen, but at the cost of using a product containing heavy metals.

It a far better choice than using some Miracle Grow or other low end crap alot of newbies go with. Sure there are better choices but for the price and quality it's a good product.

Well, you should have put them in the good soil and/or pot in the beginning after you transplanted them if thats the route you wanted to go. Transplanting from the ground to another location or a pot is difficult because the roots have already begun to spread out and make themselves at home. That being said it is still possible because they are not too big, if you are very careful. Just be sure that your next location is the one you want to go with for good. After you transplant them water them. Wait a few days before you fertilize. As for dosage just follow the directions on the bottle.
