My First Outdoor Grow Log

This is my first grow
i am just growing for personal use
i am using Miracle-Grow potting soil
i have one bigger one and 9 sproutlings
The big one i found march 25 in my back yard, it almost died from what i am guessing shock
i had to clip some leaves cuz the were dying as u can see on the 2 big leaves
the babys were born on march 30 2009
I germinated the seeds in a moist paper towel and the all sprouted out of the ground at the same time
2 of them are growing very fast
i will post more pics every 2 weeks and u guys could prolly help:thumbsup:

They look good so far... the big one is making a nice recovery for sure :thumbsup:

BUT, you should get those seedlings into individual cups ASAP, before the roots get tangled. You don't want them competing for food, light, and water. Clear plastic cups aren't good, because the roots don't like light. You can cover up the sides or get them in more appropriate containers. Also, the big one is sitting too low in the pot. You can get stagnant air and that could lead to problems. MG potting soil is usually too hot for seedlings (ok for mature plants), and they would do better in a seedling starter mix for the first couple weeks... but maybe too late for that. Hopefully they will make it...

Other than that, keep us updated!:jointsmile:

ill do that for sure
i got more soil the other day
it is Miricle-grow organic garden tomato blend
one of my seedlings is drooping
it looks very unhealthy
it has white stuff on the leaves:(
and did i top it off correctly
cuz its been like 5 days and i cant tell if it split or not
i thought it did

One of the sproutlings died:(
that kinda upset me
i still dont know if i should have tried to top off the big one
i might have tried it too early
its been like 6 days and has still not split
it seems like it is working on just the leaves were the stem and the branches meet
becouse they are getting pretty big:rastasmoke:

So today i transplanted all of the plants into seperate containers:rastasmoke:
still kind of upset about the death
it couldve been a female:wtf:
ill keep u guys updated :thumbsup:

All the plants are doing good
im glad none went into shock from transplant
we had a cold front last night
it got down to about 55
i will have more pics up soon
advice is welcome

also, drag the dead plant material (pine needles, leaves, etc.) out of there, decaying plant matter tends to attract insects ... :smokin:

Really??
Cuz i heard that the pine needles act as a mulch.
It keeps moisture in.
Also it helps camoflage the containers into the surrounding
just in case someone wonders by.
And how do cop helicopters find plants?

Plants are doing good
i regret trying to top it off
still no signs of new fan leaves
advice please??

Plants are still doin fine
the big one is getting very bushy
the little ones are growing slower then i thought
but still healthy
i will post more pics in 2 days
dont be afraid to post some advice:rastasmoke:

so the big one is getting very bushy
little ones are growing nicley too
from now on this is going to be a one hand grow cuz i just broke my right collar bone lol
i will post pics as soon as i find my camera:rastasmoke:
