so i have 7 plants that i started in late april-early may but my area had rain trough all of june i am new to growing plants i have had a few successful plants but i never had multiples and the ones i grew were all males

for soil i have been using a mixture of aged compost, cow manure and miracle grow potting soil its the same mix i use for all my tomatoes and peppers it seems to be working so far but like i said im an amatuer

but ill get to the pictures because i know thats really what people want to see

number 1 grew very top heavy so i had to make a little prop for it to stand... it was doing fine now theres a few little brown spots on it but overall i think its doing ok?


number 2 i had in a very nice spot a few hundred feet from my porch and it was doing great.... until bugs got it i got to it before they got all of it but its not looking so good


number 3 i think looks pretty good


number 4 looks pretty niiice also id say?


number 5 is still fairly young i started this one at the beginning of june


number 6 also was started late i started her about 3 weeks ago


number 7 is the last one this is the troubled one.... she was doing excellent then the wind knocked over the pot and it started growing sideways so i tipped it back over and made a little prop so it wouldnt be stressed and then the wind got it again and snapped the stem so i buried it down further and it seemed to be doing ok but now its droopy

I am also looking forward to following your progress.

The lil brown spots look like minor insect damage or else burn spots from splashed ferts, but its minor and the plant looks ok besides that.

Does your medium stay fairly wet? Cannabis likes well drained medium, and I know in my own experience that organic based mediums tend to turn to mud when over watered and take a long time to dry out. Forget about flushing them. The roots dont get on as well inside a mud brick as inside a nice porous medium, and this can stunt growth some.

Good luck and keep 'em green.

hey Yukon
thanks for the advice on the soil, what would you suggest to use to get it more fluffy I dot want to just keep mixing in more miracle grow soil but my veggies low the stuff and I have more experience with them. I'd like to stay as organic as possible

jus went out and checked on the girls and 2 more little sprouts popped up so now there's 9( I better get atleast a couple fems) I'll get some pix up in a few days when they're actually worth seeing

I like to add 1/3 perlite to my potting mix, some people use vermiculite, or a mixture of the 2. Personally I have found that vermiculite retains too much moisture for me.

Im with YBG on this also I love perlite!I add it to every soil mix i do!Drainage is GOOD! Looking good Keep it up ! Peace....

Party-On!!!
