Lookin' good. How old are they?

looks like your off to a good start, except for that one pot with more than one plant in it. more then one plant per pot is not good, i messed up and did it and while it doesnt kill them, it slows growth down. if you still can id seperate them before they get tangled in eachothers roots

edit- if that even is what im seeing, its kinda hard to tell if its in the same pot or if its just leaves hangin over from a different pot

The oldest is 11 weeks but i didnt read before i went and took it from inside straight to outside without slowly getting it used to it and plant went retarded for about 2 weeks and barley grew any... but the other 2 are about 3 weeks old.. and there all in seperate pots now when i took the picture they were in the same but i had switched them all into seperate ones because of roots tangling and the bigger ones steal the sunlight and all..

good job then man, you started a little late if its outdoor, but its ok for your first time experience is priceless, and if they start to flower, and you have good conditions, who knows you might get some smoke, not alot but theres nothin like sparkin the first j or takin the first bong rip of your first grow. i cant wait

I also wanted to ask has anyone heard of plucking the new growin leaves that come up in the center when there still like lil fuzz and they will grow back bushier?

Yeah thats called topping..........it will produce two growth shoots where there was originally one. I would hold off on that though, since you got such a late start. Just let them grow, it'll be a good experience.

Have you started fertilizing yet? I'd give them a very weak dose of some veg ferts (like 1/4 strength) and see how they like it. Also, what kinda soil are they in?

Ok are you saying not to do this since im starting so late in the season.. and like i asked before can i bring them inside once the season changes and finish them indoors? im using Expert Gardener potting soil. I gave it some plant food last week only a little bit but what type of fertilizer should i use???
