Awesome, thank you so much for the replies and willingness to help.

I have six plants total. I purchased two clones from a dispensary 1 week ago. One is good ol' fashioned skunk, and the other is sweet hawaiian skunk. Another one of them (which is also a clone, but was a gift so not sure what strain) was already flowering when I got it, so I am hoping it will go back into vegetative state. And finally, I threw some seeds from some decent smoke in the ground, and I got 3 healthy plants. The clones have been in the ground for about 1 week and are about 15 inches tall, and the ones started from seeds are about 2 weeks old and are about 8-9 inches tall.

They all get about 6-7 hours direct sunlight, but everything I read says that the more sun, the better. Also, I planted them in my veggie garden in order to camo them some what, and I planted them at the back of the garden, which is right next to a fence... Once I started thinking about it, someone could just knock the fence boards out and steal my whole crop. I am just kicking myself in the ass for planting them where I did. I was just too anxious to get them into the ground.

I will leave them where they're at for now. I know that moving them could wipe them all out... I am just worried about thieves now..

I am currently giving them the Fox Farm nutes, and water only when dry. I have only given the nutes once, with some mild nute burn the next day.. I am going to decrease the concentration to about 1/4 and gradually increase to full strength.

Should I test the pH of the soil?

What about trimming/topping them?

The more I read on how to properly grow marijuana, the more complex it gets.. Why is it called "weed" if it's such a touchy plant to grow?! Shit, now I know why I pay so much for it. But soo worth it. They are such beautiful plants, and I'd like to keep mine that way!

I will post some pics tomorrow, too late tonight. I will continue updating as well. Nice to have some experts to guide me along the way! Happy growing!!!!
