welcome to my first marijuana grow ever. In the following, I will reveal to you how and what I imagined and all other important information.

1. Seed type: Unknown (as well as gender) Start: March 8 - March 12 CET.
2. Soil type: Ordinary flower soil (pH 6.5)

I put 13 seeds to germinate and all 13 sprouted. 9 of them have broken through or are in the "breakthrough" for their first leaflets, while the other 4 have sprouts from 1 to 3 mm.

Since I don't know the sex or the seeds are not feminized, I will not invest large amounts of money or almost nothing.

The temperatures outside are currently from 7 degrees Celsius in the morning to 18 degrees Celsius, and according to the forecast, they will rise from the end of the week.

My intention is to keep them in a pot until the end of this month or the beginning of next, then transplant them into slightly larger pots until it is time to transplant them to a specific site. At the moment, the knocked out leaves are going a little sideways, but I guess the problem was in the light and we solved that today! I appreciate criticism and advice!
I APOLOGIZE for the poor picture quality due to the broken camera!!

I would do some reading and/or check out some YouTube videos about gardening in general, not specific to Marijuana, for tips. Pot forums sometimes have a lot of non science based advice, AKA bro science. Which is not to say that you shouldn't go to forums for advice, there is a huge amount of great advice on here from super knowledgable people. But, there is also a lot of misguided opinions from folks who would struggle to grow a tomato to maturity.
It helps to learn the basics of horticulture from sources that are not specific to pot in the beginning, and then you can better perceive what is BS advice or not.
Forums are a great resource for experiences with specific strains I wouldn't rely on them, solely, for advice on basic horticultural questions. The same techniques for growing a petunia or a zucchini apply to growing good Cannabis.

And have fun!

Assuming these are going outdoors, what is your daylight period?

The plants will go outside, of course, when the conditions are right for it (there is a strong wind blowing at the moment), from Friday the temperatures will go from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. The time is Central European, sunrise is around 6 am, sunset is at 7:20 pm.

I am using this to determine mine:

Sunrise and sunset times in Turlock

Calculations of sunrise and sunset in Turlock (95380) – USA for February 2025. Generic astronomy calculator to calculate times for sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset for many cities, with daylight saving time and time zones taken in account.

www.timeanddate.com

Thanks for the recommendation for the site, so I have 12 hours of daylight, and I've made a good judgment about it! This is daylight for today :
Daylight:
06:44 - 19:28
Total:
12:44

Every year I seem to put mine out too early.

I don't think I will throw mine out too soon, the climate is Mediterranean, which will be great for these 4 autoflowers!
