New guerilla grower attempts Bubbleberry

[TheMaleNurse]

High everyone

This past memorial day weekend, I went to a music festival in Illinois where I happened to stumble upon some Bubbleberry. I was instantly in love with the strain and I luckily happened to collect a few seeds from the bag which germinated with no problems at all.

There is a huge nature preserve area across the street from my house where I am planning on moving the plants eventually but for now, I have 3 seedlings that are two weeks old from sprout that I'm keeping on my patio until they are strong enough to withstand the sea of green(did I use that term correctly?).

I actually have a few questions that I was unable to to find answers to using the search function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Question 1
This morning I woke up to find one of my babies wounded. One of the leafs had fallen off completely! (To be specific, the leaf that fell of belonged to the second set of bladed leaves, see pictures) What could have happened? The Wind?? The weather really wasn't anything to be considered harsh at all. Not to mention it look like the leaf just fell off clean, doesn't look like a bird got into it. How bad is this for my plant at exactly 2 weeks in?

Question 2
Can I touch the leaves of my plant with cleanly sanitized hands? The reason being, there has been a lot of dust and pollen in the air lately and i simply wanted to wash the leaves as they looked like the pollen was collecting on the leaves slightly.

Question 3
So my plants are two weeks in, I was able to germinate three seeds (Obviously the sex has yet to be determined). One of the three looks a little different from the other two but in very subtle ways that you probably won't be able to tell just from pictures(slightly different leaf texture, growing a bit faster than the others). My question is... how much different do male seedlings look than female seedlings? Any difference at all? Or am I just being silly?

Question 4
How often do seedlings NEED to be watered? I want to keep a good balance between giving the roots that dry period that they require but I also want to make sure that they are being hydrated efficiently. My soil always seems to look a little damp so I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Question 5
Why the %$&* can't I post pictures? On my very first post I was able to post pictures but for reason I can't now?

Anyways, thanks for checking out my log. Everyone here seems real friendly and I'm looking forward to getting some good feedback from some knowledgeable growers.

Just so I'm not plugging up the grow log, I'll probably update once every two weeks with questions and pictures. Thanks again guys and gals.

Oh yeah, can some one please tell me why there's a thumbs down symbol next to my thread?

I just want to note that if you are going to grow in a nature preservation area, make sure you are very clean and respectful of the land. Do not damage any natural foliage, don't load up the soil with a bunch of chemical ferts, and DO NOT LITTER! Please don't give cannabis and its growers a bad name by being irresponsible. I will let the soil growers field your questions, but I felt that something should be said in regards to you growing in a nature preservation area. All that said, good luck with the grow! :thumbsup::jointsmile:

Thanks for the advice. Okay I should actually rephrase the title of the area I'm planning on growing. It's not necessarily a "Nature Preserve" but more of an area that really doesn't get a lot of attention because it's on a peninsula that cannot be utilized for industrial nor commercial use. I just called in a nature preserve because in my opinion, all of nature should be preserved! The area is surrounded by a variety of thick woods, an assortment of plants that look like cannabis, and winding rivers. Navigating through it is an absolute nightmare, making for a more secure place to grow.

I'm a huge nature lover in all aspects and my very last intention is to make a bad name for cannabis growers. I only chose this area because I can get to it from a few different routes, there's literally no one ever out there, and the existing vegetation looks real healthy.

you should transplant soon. I love that weed looks like pure indica with those wide leaves.
