Hello folks, I'm new here as you can see. I registered so I can ask questions about my grow. But I figured out that It would be better if I have a log of some sort, so not to flood other people's threads with my pictures (as if my stupid questions aren't enough of a pain in the ass 
)
So I don't have pics of the early days of my plants. But I'll try to compensate with words. I want to mention something from the start, I live in a country where the nutes and other products that most of you use (miracle grow and stuff) aren't available, so I do my best to find suitable subtitutes.
Well, I've been trying guerilla grows the last few years, but never done it seriously, so no results. This year, due to a lack of good weed on the market, and skyhigh prices me and my friends had no other choice. So we all took out our collections of bagseeds, collected only from the best smokes we ever had, and went out to mother nature to put them in soil... Well that was certainly stupid as most of the seeds didn't sprout... lesson learned (the hard way). Well actually there was one place where the seeds sprouted. It is on the bank of a small stream so the soil is always moist... It is a sweet spot, but we have to walk about 3-4 km trough the forest (uphill !!!) to get there, so we rarely visit them (actually just 3 times for now). Last time we visited them (about 3 weeks ago) they were all sexed, so we removed the males (4 big females left and 2 smaller ones), we'll visit them in another 2-3 weeks, this time with a camera.
So, except this one place, where the seeds sprouted, I figured that I should sprout the at home, grow them for a few weeks and the transplant them to the outside locations (damn, I'm a genius
). We'll my friends didn't want to take that risk, and wanted to rely only on the grow in the forest (which at that time consisted of 3-4 baby plants).
I didn't like that idea, so I bought some soil, got few plastic coffee cups, sprouted some seeds in paper towel, and... Got me 10 babys. And then shit started happening. First off some f****n ants ate the baby leafs of a couple of my babys, don't have any idea where those came from, I live on the 5th floor, don't those pests have plants to mess with on the ground? Anyway after that I forgot them out in a storm... Well pretty soon I was left with 5 plants, starting to veg, looking good.
3 of them were on the 4th node so I took them out to their new home under the sky. The two left back at home were looking like dwarfs compared to them. Planted the 3 in their new home. On the very next day one was dead the stem was like biten (damn bugs), but since they were far from each other the other two were fine.
So I was left with 2 plants outside and two on my balcony. The ones outside had some rough time adapting, for more than a month they showed no growth, lost some leaves... they looked pretty bad. And that is with me watering them every single day, and giving them a 17,5-10-12 fert once a week. The plants at home on the other hand grew and grew bigger than the ones outside... And that was strange since the outside ones had 9 straight hours of direct sun, and those at home only 6.
So here come the first pics I took, 6th week since sprouting:
First the ones on my balcony:
Then the ones outside that just began to show some progress
Well at that time one of my friends came by and when he saw them he immediatley started a balcony grow too, heehee, fine by me, more pot for the long winter
Just a couple of days later I did something stupid... Was toying around with a very strong fer 36% K, ferted the plants, went to the beach... and when I came back HORROR!!! One of the plants at home was very... VERY badly burned (I suppose nuteburn combined with heatstress, cause at that time temp under direct sunlight was around 90F). Strangely the other plant was just fine.
Oh and I forgot to mention that at this time the plants were sexed and both were females.
Here are pics of the burned plant (people with weak guts don't look
)
By that time I had spider mites problem, So I treated the plants with tobacco/chilly syrup. Here my thanks go to MynameStitch and her wonderfull thread The Complete guide to Sick Plants,pH, and Pest troubles!. So here this is me, equipped with eyes/nose/mouth protection and the tobacco syrup, posing with the plant that isn't burned (the following pics are taken in the beggining of week 8):
Tried doing a macro on the budsites, but it didn't turn out very good:
And some refreshments for the night, they don't look like much, but they did the job
About that time my friend's grow started shaping up:
Well now is mid week 9. One of my outside plants turned up male, so CHOP CHOP
Here's the other one, picture taken yesterday. :
Started flowring. The one back home is flowering too. The burned one is recovering fine, growing new leaves, but is pretty much short in comparrison with the other one. My friend got one male too, so he's left with 1 plant (female).
I'll update and get some new photos soon.
As for now I am a bit worried for my healthier plant back at home. Most of its leaf stems are reddish/purple, and has some reddish/purple "veins" on the main stem. Still not sure if it is the strain, or some NPK def. Still the plant seems perfectly fine, so I think it's the strain... Well that's the risk of growing a bagseed
P.S. I know that my tiny grow seems like a big laugh, but I'll be more than happy if I get a good smoke out of it. Made a lot of mistakes so far, even for a first-timer... but I hope next year I'll do much better.
Peace

. Some MF has chopped her down, and even took my DIY water-dripping device. Gonna beat the hell of that bastard if I find out who he is. 3 months of care for that plant... and it's gone with the wind. And she was beautiful, at just 4 weeks of flowering she was ahead of my home plants. That's the last pic of her that I took:
