First Grow!!! need alot of advice!

[Dewayne]

Yeah, i always do that when they're young. It really helps the stalk to strengthen if you just bend it a little every time you see them, but you have to be careful not to break them.

 

[Kindbud]

yeah just shake them a little bit and feel on them lol that didnt sound right lol hahaha oh well get some more pics lilbudd!!

 

[lilbudd]

haha alright guys i will take some pics tomorrow and i will try the bending trick

 

[lilbudd]

lightly and delicately move the stalk back and forth that should help strengthen the stalk..do you get much wind there ? wind is a crucial element in stalk strengthening

well its in a forest so theres alittle bit of wind but not much... this past couple days they have been getting stronger.

 

[lilbudd]

alright good newss... the stems seem to be getting stronger. Also i got 5 more seeds, and im germinating right now in paper towels theres a picture of the place i want to plant them; i already got two holes ready and got some good soil in them. That spot gets direct sunlight from morning - 4ish so I think it will be a good spot. Also there are pics of my plants. they are at day 14. does everything look good? shouldnt they be a bit bigger at this point? Thanks guys.

 

[Kindbud]

looking good lilbud !!

 

[lilbudd]

alright guys... i was wondering when i should start fertilizers... and which brand should i use. is Superthrive any good? I saw it at wal mart the other day for 7$

 

[Kindbud]

super thrive isnt a fert or a nute its an additive you add it to your water when you water your plants its pretty good and you shouldnt start ferts or nutes for a little bit longer

 

[lilbudd]

whats ur suggestion for ferts or food then KB?

 

[lilbudd]

guys... a deer stepped on both my plants snapping the better one and messing up the other one ... this pisses me off so much... is it too late to get seeds in the ground? I dont have ne thats the problem, but i could get them in probally by june 1 is thaat too late?

 

[lilbudd]

thanks man... i still have one plant going ... but its weird. It seems to be growing unevenly! I moved it tho because it was in the greatest spot... now its getting a lot more light, so we will see how she does.

 

[85cannabliss]

looks good man. they will grow slow for a few weeks, then all of a sudden you will go down and they will be different plants. i cant beleive how quickly they grow, its amazing, youll see.

 

[lilbudd]

alright guys, sry i havent updated in a while.

Alright so heres how things been, After the death of my one plant from an effin deer. I moved the other one so it wouldnt have the same tragic fate. I just got 16 seeds today (bagseed) Im going to get them started soon. Is it too late to plant? also i could start them under the light which would speed growth, right? Comment back guys!

 

[lilbudd]

guyss 2 of the 16 seeds cracked. I need to no soon what u guys think i should do. Should I start them under two cfls or just put them outside right away. Would the growth under Cfl be faster than outside?

 

[Kindbud]

put them outside man!!! gorwth will be a little fast but not by that much

 

[lilbudd]

14 out of 16 of my seeds germinated!!!! I'm gonna have a pot jungle... ok any ideas of how i should scatter them? should i do them in groups of 2 or what?

 

[lilbudd]

haha ok well im putting them in my forest which is very very overgrown with tall trees and tons of brush ... sunlight is very scarce. I have a like opening picked out where i would grow them but this opening probally only gets lik 4-5 hours of direct sunlight. Is that enough?

Hey LiLBudd, Love what your doing dude, and thanks for sharing and allowing us in. A few thoughts for you about the deer. 1. Don't go for venison as people will freak if they think you just shot Bambi, LOL
2. Stop in a barber shop, and see if they will give you a bag of hair trimmings, I would just say that you got some kinda science experiment at school and your job was to get the hair. Scatter the hair sorta near your plants, and piss around the area as well. The human scents will stop a lot of hungry critters from getting the idea that lunch is served ya know ?
Don't put all your starts in the same general area either. I've lost one crop, before and yet still had the others, but losing it all sucks. Better to have less than none at all.
smoke in peace

thanks man! Im going to plant them into cups let them grow for a week and then transplant them into the ground. Does this sound like a good idea?

Why not just plant them in the ground?
