Also any input from experts about nutes? I want to get them on a feeding schedule asap if i need to.

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

Topping is going to stress them out a little and necessarily wont help with stretching. They need more direct sun and possibly more intense indirect sun.

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?

They look too light green and just generally unhealthy. Just my opinion, but I could be wrong. Or could be the picture quality.

What kind of soil are they in? How much miracle gro did you apply to them and how often? What are the N-P-K values? What exactly is the Miracle Gro product you used?

Most people wait for their plants to reach around 30days old before they start fertilizing them.

not sure exactly what soil but this is similar... i know it had extended release nutrients

I'll try seeing if i can get them more direct light to lessen the stretching, thanks for your help southern.

What kind of soil is around and below this Miracle Gro soil? Did you till the MG soil into the native soil?

[purplehaze11]

I believe the land technically is classified as wetlands, the soil was not too dry, but full of roots, it took forever to take them all out. I did not till the MG into it.

It looks like the biggest problem is your lack of sufficient sunlight - would explain why they have stretched so much with little branching; they are trying to get to some sunlight. I'd advise you to transplant them into a better location with better lighting. When you transplanted you could then provide them good, fresh soil with nutrients. I would also mix in about 30-40% perllite, to allow your roots to grow better/faster. If you're using MG soil, I wouldn't put much in the way of nutrients - maybe a bit of Superthrive to encourage root development.

Ok its been a while since I last posted. We have plucked the males, and there are 6 females that remain. The pic below is of the plant that has shown the best bud so far. Also, we were having trouble with the plants not getting enough sunlight so we cut some trees back and its made a huge difference. Hopefully its not too late though, the plants are pretty undersized. I only had time to take 1 pic unfortunately, but its a nice one.

see the title of this thread? "... BAGSEED

not to shabby looking.

after your harvest setup a 2ft high or higher compost pile import some redworms / earthworms if there aren't any in the soil already. next spring you can mix the top layer in with the soil you have there and it should be gravy.

Yea it was just bagseed, but it looks and smells like some good stuff so far. Unfortunately I'll be leaving the state for a while, hopefully I can come back around harvest time but I go to school pretty far away. My growing partner is gonna have to take over hopefully they finish up nicely.

For a first grow though and not really having known what I was doing I'm pretty happy and I've learned a lot that will help me later on.
