One Seed In The Ground

[Mike Wright]

I guess it goes against the idea of the grow but you could cover it at night for a bit....

i thought about it but then my whole experiment is compromised if this doesn't work out then ill try different things on the next round

It should pull through if it survives then you will have a real strong plant. Clone it or if its a male get that pollen

I have been gardening outside for years, and a downpour of rain is usually not enough to kill even a small plant like in the last pic. It is a weed after all. As long as the temp does not get below 45 or so she will grow, just slower till the temps pick up. Is the umbrella still covering her? she may want more light.

 

[joedaddy805]

No she is getting full sun now. i just wanted to put it up for the first few days.

 

[joedaddy805]

Day 17 it seems to be doing good so far nothing but hose water.

That is how I grew when I began, backyard and guerrilla grows starting in 1967. Yeah, I'm that old, haha laughing at myself.

 

[joedaddy805]

That's cool how is it looking to you you think it's growing at a good rate?

 

[brightlight]

Imo that is a great looking young plant. Seems to be growing at good clip considering length of days and cooler temps at this time of year. I'm sure you see it picking up steam in May with longer, warmer days.

I was lucky and got a sample bag of the Recipe 420 late last year. I like what's in it and that the bag is pretty light weight. I'm going to use it outside too and am real interested to follow how it works for you too. I like EB Stone products, use many of them.

 

[MikeTbob]

I predict it will be over 6 foot tall if left alone.

 

[joedaddy805]

that would be nice
i got more seeds going right now I'm gonna veg them till the end of the month hopefully most of them are females.

tap water can be great depending on the water source in your area

 

[joedaddy805]

My water is well water so i don't know if thats a good thing or a bad thing. But it doesn't seem to be hurting it. It does look nice and green.

 

[GardenFaerie]

Well water can have either high or low pH, sulfur or not, iron or not, etc. I wish I had well water. I hate that I have to feed everything including me and my pets with fluoride and other insane organophosphate neuro toxins.

 

[joedaddy805]

My ph is around 7 i think i will double check it and see where it's at

 

[brightlight]

pH 7 works, but imo that is about the upper limit. I respect that pH is sacred to many but in my experience growing organically using soil and/or coco, our plant does fine in a fairly wide range of pH. There is a buffering effect that helps maintain pH within an acceptable range.

I had no clue about soil pH when I started growing like your test grow. I just planted in good topsoil and watered. No nutrients or amendments. Crude by today's standards, but I often got lucky. Some grew to over 9' tall. Also no knowledge about topping, fimming, supercropping or other size and shape controls used today. But now I baby my plants like everyone else.

 

[GardenFaerie]

It is more a hobby, sort of like doing bonsai. Fussing is okay provided the fussing is not done constantly during high stress or if the plant is not performing. I have loved many plants to death that way!

 

[brightlight]

You're right and I agree...need to keep it fun and relaxing. I had to scale back outdoors when it became too much work for an old man.

 

[GardenFaerie]

Hey, I'm pushing 60 with vision problems. AND, though I love to garden, I no longer like or take pleasure in moving rocks and building a garden. I still have some hardscaping I have to do, but I am considering having that done by a landscaper. I can no longer do such stuff. Nor can Mark. Well, he can he's younger, but I don't want my man spending his life out in my garden on his two days off a week.
This is why I wish he didn't work!

 

[joedaddy805]

Pic from 2 days ago. it looks to be doing pretty good so far.
