The top of the plant will point towards the sun . In the morning they face east and by evening they face west. The little holes are pests. Go to Walmart goto the gardening section and pickout a fertilizer that works for you. Makes sure you read the label. MiracleGro, Scott's... most chemical ferts are alike just look for the NPK numbers. To make her stem fatter give her more wind. wind helps plants fatten up but they use more water so water it regularly.
Should I worry about the pests eating holes in the leaves? I don't see any bugs on the plant and I did a thorough inspection. Trust me.
Well if its minor pest then it won't kill it or hurt it too bad but it will negatively affect your plant. Best to get some insecticide. Find something that is safe and can be used on vegetables. Spray it on the plant to the point of run-off and then spray it with clean water. Only use what you need after each spray wait a week or two before doing it again. You have be careful when it comes to chemicals going into something you're going to smoke.
Hey I am am also starting to grow outside, what if i let the seeds germinate too long and the sprout has shed the outer shell of the seed, are they still okay to plant or have they gone too long without sun?
Upon inspection 2 days ago I found a small caterpillar like worm that was about 1/2" long and green wiggling out of a tiny cocoon so I fed that little BASTARD to my venus fly trap. That's what that piece of shit gets for fucking with my plant!Quote:

I did another thorough inspection and didn't find anything else. I released a box of lady bugs last weekend to take care of an afid infestation in my dill and oregano.
I think a few got onto my ganja plant and I everday I find 1 or 2 white pests in the soil but none on the plant. Are those afid larvae or just a soil bug because they aren't green like the afids on the other herbs? Most of the lady bugs are dead or flew away so I can't really put anymore on my plant to protect it. Guess I'll have to spend another 7 bucks on some more...bummer I thought they'd last the entire summer.
Any suggestions???
You can still plant. The reason you plant it before it comes completely out is so you won't stress it. The plant is EXTREMELY fragile at this age and simply touching it can kill it. As carefully as you can plant is in a pre-dug hole. Careful not to put any pressure on it and have it to were the round leaves are barely poking out. You make want to grow it out inside for a week or two. It'll need mild weather and plent of water if it does stress.Quote:

its just extremely delicate... when they are small they have little microscopic roots and are just easy for us to damage. Like barely touching it is proportionatly like putting you're head in a vice grip... you should get it before it's leave sprout because you can pick it up by the seed coat. Once it gets established you can touch it all you want.. or at least the leaves.
Thank you very much earthy dank you have been a great help.
