First grow, outdoors, bagseed

[purplehaze11]

Ok so this is my first grow. It is outdoors, bagseed, and the plants are 47 days from sprout. I used miracle grow organic potting soil but other than that have been using no nutes, and let mother nature pretty much do her job with watering.

sorry for the poor quality of the pics i took them with my phone

As this is my very first grow id love some advice, i guess they still have another 5 or 6 weeks or so of vegging but they just look small for their age right now. Should I get them on nutes? Since its difficult to get to my spot feeding is limited so i could probably feed twice a week or so would that be enough? Any and all comments are welcome.

All your pictures are blurry or focused on something other then the plants (the soil in the background, etc.) so it is very hard to see how they are doing. Try to learn how your camera works so as to be able to focus it better on the actual plants.

I don't think they look too terribly small for their age, but I could be wrong. I don't have much experience in growing... tried to grow last year and got all males, and almost totally wiped out by a severe thunderstorm this year. So take my words with a grain of salt.

The miracle grow normally has extended release nutes in it. Regardless, feeding twice a week would probably be way too much. Here is a good link concerning the nutrients for cannabis. Give it a read. Nutrients And Marijuana Grown In Soil

One thing I noticed is that all your pictures look shaded. It could just be the quality of the pic though. But just in case... how many hours of direct sunlight are they getting a day, in your estimation?

Yeah sorry again about the pics i took them with my phone so they were the best i could do, ill have to get out there with a real camera soon. The miracle grow has extended release, for a month i believe, so the nutes should be pretty much depleted i think by now. I think they get around 5 hours direct a day, its a pretty clear spot in the woods where they are.

they look stretched the fuck out?

try thinning some of the branches above your plants so they get AT LEAST 4 hours of direct sun per day.

I'd dare to say that I don't think your plants are going to live much longer...

How can i get them not to stretch? I was thinking of topping them soon would that be a good idea?

Why do you say that? Most look pretty healthy except for the very bottom set of leaves on a few of them, and a couple other plants that are much much weaker than the others, but other than that the majority look good. What makes you say that they wont survive?
