Hello everyone! I'm really glad I found this site! So much useful information.
I found a bagseed about the first part of May. I forget the name of the strain but it was really nice so I thought I would toss it in some dirt to sprout next to some seeds my son brought home from kindergarten. Imagine my surprise when it sprouted about 5 days later.
It started growing so rapidly, especially compared to the kindergarten seeds, I eventually performed a risky transplant to it's own cup. I almost lost it then...it stopped growing for about 2 weeks. In fact the stem couldn't hold itself up so I supported it with toothpicks.
Once it started growing again and the weather warmed outside I decided to plant it outside in a shrub garden. I added some gardening soil and some Osmocote 14-14-14. After about 5 days I could see it was very happy in it's new spot. It get's direct, high-desert sun from about 7 AM - 4 PM. I'm concerned about my neighbors seeing the plant so I started 3 tomato plants in pots so I can position them around to disguise.
Of course I only started to research what I was doing about a week ago when I found this site. Knowing what I know now I would have done many things different but I can't go back now.
The plant hasn't appeared to show it's sex yet...I don't think. There are some signs that suggest it might be female but I might be basing that on some new leave sprouts. It's been about 6 weeks since I planted it in the ground. Should I have been able to spot the sex by now?
