You should really let it sit for a week or two.
this shouldn't be a problem cause your seedling won't need transplanting for a while.
how is it holding up in the mg soil? you'll have to change that soon.
as for the fish just mix it up as per the bottle its probably better to add that as part of your feeding schedule.

I'd say not to pressure him to experiment with coco or soiless peat mixtures, he's only got one plant right now so his margin for error is incredibly slim, exploring growing methods besides old fashioned soil is great, but not on your first grow when you don't have any weak plants to sacrifice in the name of science.

Bah almost forgot to answer about the fish emulsion: get yourself an empty one gallon milk or water jug, save the screw on cap, and then use it to measure and mix the fish fert. Its a great way to have an accurate measurement and the jug has a handle that makes holding it while shaking or pouring much easier. EDIT: I was stoned and forgot to say that it'll be best used in your veg stages, but you probably won't need to use it for another week or so... What day did the seed break the surface of the soil? You should log your plants age, just as an organizational habit, and to know when your(hopefully female) plant is ready to flower.

ALSO, it helps give you an idea of your water usage, and how many gallons of water it will take to keep your plant from getting thirsty. And you could possibly add Hydrotron clay balls or some lava rocks or pebbles to the bottom of to pot you plan on transplanting into, this will prevent to soil from clogging the drain holes and will allow the water to runoff instead of turning the bottom of the bucket into mud.
 
Need to know when to start nutes, i have the fish emo, nd super thrive.

Can i mix the fish nd super in one spray bottle.?

Also when to transplant. AND WHAT SOILESS IS,


The 21ST. Nd got it how big a pot @pengra or who ever,

Btw thanks for all the advice guys,
 
I use Jacks blossom booster in flower which is 10-30-20. The Orchid factor of it is probably relating to it's ph, but you should ph all your feeds & water to around 6.2 anyways & you'll be fine.

FEED LIGHT! WATER INFREQUENTLY! That's my noob advice.

Your little one is looking good, sorry I haven't been able to get back to you, been working. So what are the dimensions of the closet you plan on using? remember that you'll have to hang the lights so your height dimensions for your useable space will be different than the actual measurements of the closet, and you may need to also install a carbon filter and exhaust ducting.

As far as transplanting, you should do it when they are nicely rooted, but not rootbound, maybe at about 2-3 weeks for your seedlings, then transplant into bigger containers. I'd veg. for 6-8 weeks depending on strain & pot size being used. I've found the best results at 8 weeks of veg. but you can go a little earlier like 4 or 5 and still be ok, but 8 weeks is best ime.

Soilless is coco-coir, sphagnum peat moss, perlite, etc. but I'd advise you to stick with soil, especially if it is your first attempt ever at growing. Soilless & hydro have their advantages, but to me a good mix of organic soil & organic feeding works best. It's just so much simpler with soil.:2cents:
 
I really the appreciate all the help,


Thanks

Ne one tell Me about sphanga moss , theres a pic up above. Wat else would i need?

I also have five seedlings they all poped out the ground.

Ima do both. Trial n error.

Looks good grandad; i also use mg organic with absolutely no problems, i even found it as certified on the omri.org organic soil lists. About the bag seeds, it's been said that if the smoke they came from, the seeds will be an even better smoke. Happy Growing.

if someone hasn't said it before, now is the time where you need to be reading as much about the process of growing quailty bud as possible. MG is not a long-term.

Also, if you take a trip to a Barnes & Noble or other similar bookstore, you'll see there are numerous books in the gardening section on growing.


good luck


edit- nevermind i forgot you were growing outdoors.
 
I have been, i know i need to transplant soon, i bought some spanga peat moss,with vermite, perlite. I have bone meal nd blood meal fish emis, nd super thrive. Nd shes goin in a 5 gallon tub soon. Just waitn for the three week mark.
