Hey All!
I am very new to the grow scene. Although i have many hours of online research under my belt (but who of us doesnt), I am lacking in much experience, but i am very much in love with not only plants, but marijuana (the texture, the look, the smell, ect.). I am very eager to learn and be successful in this area, and not many others, so i am asking for the experienced' assistance.
To be honest i wasnt up to buy any special strain seeds, because of the difficulty of growing and the expenses and risk. So i simply saved some bag seeds from some of the best middies i could find, and started germination.
The germination went well, and got me very excited, so i planted six plants in six seperate plastic cups, but 3 of them were lost due to water damage (my assistant neglected to cut holes in the bottom of the cup.. it rained.. go figure) so now i have 3 babies that are about 3 weeks old, and i am praying they will produce me some reward for my effort. and praying to god they arent a majority of males
At about 3 weeks, the plants are only roughly 6 inches tall, with about 6 leaves each, which to my knowledge sounds quite small for their age.
I figured they were not getting enough sunlight, due to tall trees, so i moved them to a field
(it is a guerilla grow, although close to home and in an area with almost no human activity, i am trying to keep them discrete as possible JIC)
i havent used any extra fertilizers or pesticides yet, but i know this is something that will ave to be done soon
Basically i am simply treating them like i would every other plant, watering and checking on them every 2-3 days (depending on weather) but all seems to simple, i suppose i just dont have the patience, but i want to know what i can do, with little to no expenses, to make my plants as large and beautiful as possible
also, i would like to know when they should be planted in the ground, and if i should mix the type of soil (potting soil) in which they are in with the natural dirt, or simply dig a hole and fill it with potting soil
all help and replies are appreciated, and i hope to hear from the best of you soon
!!!!UPDATE!!!!
I have some pictures up of the 3 plants, they were planted around the first or second weekend in may and now they are as seen (which from what ive read, is much too small for their age) i believe they arent getting enough sun, because i am trying to keep it discrete, but i moved them to a field where at about 7:00pm they were still getting light.
also, their leaves have a few holes (maybe bugs?), and white spots (in picture) , which i assume is from the sun
check the pics and tell me what you think
also, i germinated a few more seeds, but forgot about them so it has been atleast 5 days, are the bad now?? or can i still plant them, some are very long, up to 2-3 inches
i am going to get some neem oil and fertilizer (dont know what kind) tomorrow
