I had three seeds, ungerminated, and i want them to grow naturally. So, i found an unpopulated place, right next to a pond, in a field. They were planted on May 9, '10. I pushed my finger half an inch deep into the soft, but fertile earth, and dropped one seed in; covered it, and threw a little bit of water on top. I repeated the pattern with the two other seeds. It is now May 13, '10; and i have just checked on the seedlings. I am not seeing any growth, but i am guessing that is just because i didn't germinate them, so i guess they're germinating underground. I don't plan on messing with them that much. It's really just a 'fuck it' grow. If i get some good shit out of it, i won't be surprised, because i got it from some crazy-ass 'noname' shit. I just want to keep it simple. I've had previous grows on where i lived in Missouri, and had 9 plants that grew from a swamp, it was similar to this, except now, i live in Tennessee, and its farms; not woods. It gets PLENTY of sunlight where my spot is, from 6:30 AM, to 7:45 PM. I was just wondering whether all of this will work, And, if so, when should growth be expected?
1/2 inch is too deep. Also I don't recommend planting so close to a pond. I lost 12 seedlings this week. Finally you should work the soil when you plant outside. I know plants hhave super-strength, but you want to make it as easy as possible for the seed to sprout through the soil. Don't give up. Find a few more seeds.
