GEORGIA 1st time grower-plant help

[creationstepper]

grow method: soil (fox farm ocean forest potting soil )

nutrients: none ( i am purely organic and not trying to use chemicals in my grow opperation )

strain: i am not sure ( i have a bag, with seeds from my friends previous grows and other good smokes i've had )

ph: 6.8

this is my first outdoor grow. i have chosen a str8 location outdoors for my babys to call home, but b4 i take them there i am starting them indoors. Today they are 15 days old and none of them have reached over 3 in. I was wondering if this size of my babies at this point was normal? i have 10 of them and they all look healthy and have pretty sturdy looking stems. i water them with bottled water and hav them on a 18/6 schedule.i transplanted them from 16 oz. plastic cups to regular sized plastic pots 2 days ago. when they are 19 days i plan to take them outside and let them grow from there.when they are 23 or 25 days old i plan to transplant into 1gal. grow bags and from there to 3 gal. grow bags for flowering. Am i taking them outside too early? does this sound like too much transplanting? Can u tell what sex the plant is by the way the seedlings grow? b/c 6 are pretty long with few leaves and the others are shorter with 3 sets of leaves and are darker green.i will post pics soon.
i would really appreciate any help ne1 has to give.thank you for reading/commenting.:rastasmoke:
-peace and love

I am also growing some plants outside in GA, and i moved my plants outside a few days ago. They seemed to survive the rain just fine and they're looking pretty good. If you moved yours outside in a few days, they should be just fine.

I would recommend you skip the 1 gal grow bag and go strait to the 3 gal. Transplanting more frequently just makes it that much more likely that something will go wrong, and you're not hurting anything by going strait to the 3 gal bags.

Post some pics and let us know how things are going. I have a post on this forum about my GA grow. Check it out...

as soon as you find a male chop it and dispose of it..........no use in smoking something that wont get your feeling funky.
