looks good man how is that bottle thing working for ya plants outdoors maybe you should leave one without one see if it grows diff than the others withe tha bottles over them

[GoodstuffYeah]

It's working really well I might try and do that with my goofy looking plant and see if it starts catching upto the other one lol

[zekeyboy]

Well yeah I just planted these straight in the ground cuz I couldn't grow them anywhere inside, But ended up just putting one of my later seeds in my window but the stem is I think really long. Could it be stretching for the light?

Need to fill those cups with soil.

[ultimatefreak48]

When i start my plants as seedlings I like to fill my cup to just under the brim.... much more soil for the roots to start training and it also bring the plants closer to the light, which usually helps avoid stretching. just fyi

[LetsSeeYa]

Well I found some more time
This is my plant inside I put more dirt in the cup so the stem isn't so long and fragile.

You might try putting it outside someplace in the cup to let the wind straighten the stem before putting it into the ground. Just put it out a few hours a day, it wont hurt it and thats what im doing now. Helps with all that fresh air it will get too.

Good luck man:rasta:

Okay yeah thanks I'll get it outside somedays this week but I went to check on my plants today and the goofy plant hasn't grown hardly at all in the last four or five days but I guess we'll see what happens.
Since I put more dirt in the cup it seems like it's been growing alot faster and is looking really healthy.

They may be growing roots right now that could be why you have not seen much plant growth but soon as thats over the plants will start to shoot up. You said that the ones outside are 3 weeks old well then they are old enough for you to try giving one some nutes and see if it helps. Id try it only on one so you don't risk losing all ya lil girls.

How often do ya water?.. since your outdoors, you prob will only have to water every 7 days or every 2 weeks depending on what region you live in and how often ya get rain. But during summer if it gets really hot&dry with hardly any rain you will have to water a lot more maybe even twice a week. But be careful not to over water them or water to often you want your roots to grow deep down searching for water so you have a bigger root system which later on will pay off with a bigger and better yield.

First time users guide to using veg/flower nutes.

1) Add only 1/4 of the recommended amount of veg nutes per gallon of water the first time you use the nutes. If there are no signs of over feeding repeat this at least 2 times before upping the amount of nutes. This allows your plants time to adjust to the nutes without over feeding and stressing your plant to death. Only feed them every other time you water and make sure to keep an eye out for signs of over feeding/nute burn.

2) OK if things are looking good, which they should be with no signs of over feeding your plants should be at least double there size than they are now. So when it comes time to feed them up the dose of nutes to 1/2 strength and repeat just like in step one.

3) Now if things are still going good and they are still not showing any signs of nute burn then you have 2 choices. You can play it safe and up the dose to 3/4 strength and repeat as you did before or you can just give it a full strength dose of nutes. I am sure if you get this far you will be feeding all of them by now, so you might only want to give one of them a full dose and see how it does. Before feeding them all at full strength if all goes well with the one plant at full strength then you can feed the others at full strength come the next feeding.

Flower Nutes.

1) After getting yourself some flower nutes and your sure your plants are female soon as they start to flower cut the veg nutes out and just add 1/4 the recommended dose of flower nutes. Just to kinda get them used to it and to make sure you don't over feed or stress them at all.

Because you can get away with stressing them in veg some but in flower its something you dont want to do. (Or maybe a week or 2 before they start to flower if you are able to tell you can use 1/4 the recommended dose of flower nutes mixed in with 3/4 strength veg nutes or 1/2 strength veg nutes just to kinda give them a lil push from veg to flower.)

2) Well now after the first feeding of just flower nutes at 1/4 the recommended dose or if ya did the veg/flower mix of nutes the last time ya fed your plants. Does not matter but for the next feeding use 1/2 of the recommended dose of flower nutes this time. Do not use any veg nutes just strait flower nutes from now own or only the other nutes that your supposed use with your flower nutes or during flower this all depends on what brand of nutes ya are using.

3) Now repeat the same thing as step 2 if they are looking good with no signs of over feeding but up the dose again to 3/4 the recommended dose plus the other nutes that go with it or are used during flower also depending on the brand you can get a feeding chart that tells you to add which nutes and when.

4) OK now if you really wanna play it safe and not take the risk of over feeding then you can repeat each dose at least once. Or you can just repeat step three once id just repeat step 3 once myself just to be safe but only once.

IMO you do not want to take as long getting your plants used to the flower nutes as you do in veg. Plus they will already be used to the veg nutes so they are less likely to get nute burn then they were before having been fed any nutes.

I am in no way an expert but this is the way i do it if anything is wrong please correct me people.:jointsmile::jointsmile:

Am I gonna need to top my biggest one soon?
And the stem is really weak on my one inside and it's like almost falling over even though I packed dirt around the stem.

Thats why i told you to put it outside, the wind will strengthen the stem. Fill the cup up and mound it around the stem, or it will just fold over and die. The stem gets so long then drys out someplace and thats it. The fan or wind will build it up for outdoor living. Even growing inside ya need a fan to build up the stem to support the plant.
