These are generic bag seeds the oldest ones germinated about mid-June and the latest the 3rd week of June. The older ones had to be moved outside while still seedlings, due to people coming for broadband maintence and the equipment being in the grow closet. They were outside in a full week of rain and kept falling down, hence the bottom leafs for the most part died off.

They are now fairly healthy but looked MUCH b etter prior to the heavy rain today. All of these plans show slight signs of overwatering, I believe atleast. However, it has been nothing other then natural rain water on them for the past 1.5 weeks.

The soil for the one in the field where you can see from the picture a very clay like look, has been dug approx 2-3 feet deep and about 1.5 feet in diameter. Filled with potting soil(generic walmart shit) perlite, peat moss, and bone meal.

It suffered some root binding before being planted out there, which was my fault. However, did recover within about 24 hours of planting in the field and perking up looking much more healthy. It was germinated about the 3rd week of June sometime.


The one in the orange bucket is mostly being grown indoor under CFLs it was outside the past 2 days however. It has about 35-40% potting soil, 25% perlite, 15-20% peat moss, and the rest was mulch mixed in with about a 2inch layer of mulch on top the soil. I would say this is the healthiest plant.


The third is in the woods, this was a seperate bag then the other 2 and I believe it is a mostly Sativa plant. It looks to be and the high seemed to be. I am questioning the light on this plant hence the tree top pic in this post. This was a mid-June plant its the healthiest in the patch. It kept falling till about indepence day, now its health and can withstand the rain.

The soil in this patch was rich naturally, with alot of foilage in this area in the woods. I did nothing more then dig it up and til it very good by hand removing most plant roots. It does however need weeded again soon, but the soil is very rich and nice.


Is this plant getting enough light? Is it Sativa or is it stretching? Here is the canopy of trees above


These plants were fed full strength mericle grow liquid all purpose fertilizer(about NPK 10-8-7 or something) and recently I was trying some of those slow release sticks that are something about(6-8-6). The plant in the bucket this morning was showing some signs that are either burn from the dew sitting on the leaves really heavy this morning and the sun hitting it or nute burn. First day this plant was outside in full sun.

No PH levels were taken on anything, I need to find a soil PH tester at a local store(walmart doesnt have them in Lawn and Garden here??)

Apologize for some of the picture quality, this camera doesnt seem to like close-ups to much even on the close-up setting. That and I am really shaky and suck at taking pictures.

Let me know what you guys think, flame away. It was thrown together last minute becuase every year I wait till to late, and never plant this year I just planted anyway.

:peace:

I'm guessin your in the UK due to the crap whether on your pics lol. They're tall and leggy cos they are'nt getting direct sunlight, also I'd would'nt use miracle grow, some people say that it works but from my own experience it really does'nt, its just not worth it. Try using bat guano or some other similar organic fert.

Ive been told those slow release nutrient spikes for indoor house plants are worthless whats your opinion? They would be real handy for Gorilla grows if they work.
