first grow help

[Nik]

i have 3 plants growing,i just planted them about a week and a half ago in 1 gallon buckets after i germinated them, they've been outside since seedlings, do u think that will effect the chances of a female? and i want to know when to transplant them, 2 of them have 2 jagged leafs and another set growing out and the other is about to get it's second set of jagged leaves. how long should i leave them in the pot before transplant? thanks for the info

it shouldnt have any effect on wether they turn out to be female or male.
a gallon size pot should be plenty of room for them for about 3-4 more weeks then you should think about transplanting to a larger pot or in the ground if its an outside grow, however you can transplant earlier if you needed to move them to a grow spot you may want to take smaller plants for ease of moving them but would probably give them atleast another 2 to 4 weeks to grow before transplanting.

ok, well it's going to be an outdoor grow so i want them to have the best chance at surviving, they're already basically outdoors. any other advice?

[bejay]

if planting in the ground larger plants will generally have a better survival rate over smaller seedlings.
a pot offers some protection in the seedling stage I assumed it was an outdoor grow just didnt know if you was going to use a pot for the whole grow or transplant into the ground.

yeah, i plan on puttign them in the ground once they are healthy and can survive on there own, i also need advice on when to start feeding them. i can get 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 but i dunno what to add,can someone help in the nutrients area?
