first outdoor grow

[marshall14075]

First Outdoor Grow started during Earth Week 2008

First things first, I contacted a friend of mine who was in possession of some outdoor seeds from our local high-grade bud.

I divided the seeds he gave me into 2 areas: Half in zip-loc'd damp paper towels, and the other half in a cup of water covered with a shoebox.

While the germination was happening, I purchased a Jiffy Greenhouse which contains biodegradable sphagnum peat moss for my little seedlings.

A total of 4 days for germination until I transported the seedlings to my Jiffy Greenhouse using tweezers and planting root down. I placed the greenhouse lid on top and stored the greenhouse in a secret drawer in my dresser.

After 4 days of checking and after 2 days removing the lid slightly, this picture is the result.


Soon after this picture was taken, a purchase of 4 8' pots and Miracle-Gro potting soil with 3 month fertilizer was purchased. These babies were placed outside soon after to just to temperature and reduce shock.

For 3 days of sitting under a tree in my location (which is a fenced, demolished trailer park which has been vacant for 2 years), I was ready to transport the seedlings which turned green more.

I was going to divide up the 9 seedlings 5 in 4 pots and 4 in the ground so I purchased gardening soil to mix in with my 5 x 5 plot.

Soon after the transporting was finished, I came back 2 days after to water and noticed 2 plants died already leaving me with 2 pots and 4 in the ground.

As of instruction, I watered every 3 days for a few weeks until about a week ago when I felt the weather change and began watering every other day (tampa weather 80's +)

As of May 11th, 2008 these 3 plants are the survivors.


I apologize for the size of the ground one as my phone resized it.

I will continue to write daily. ALL ADVICE, CRITICISM, AND WISDOM are ACCEPTED HERE!


Today is May 13th, 2008 and here's a better picture of my ground plant which appears to have grown some.


ps. there appears to be 2 small curling leaves at the bottom of my ground plant, any diagnosis?
