the beauty of growing!!

So I started my first grow 2 days ago by directly planting a seed in the soil. And after a couple days of being anxious I finally dug up the dirt to check on the seed and a small root was popping out of the seed. I felt like a proud father with a newly born baby loll. I planted one Akorn aka snow bud by thseeds and one nirvana ice. lol so back to the point, i just wanted to share my experience and how beautiful the process actually is. Cant wait till she grows up!

Let me know some of your best experiences!! Peace and keep token on that

Do not dig the dirt again. You can very easily damage the stem or roots. It will pop up through the soil. Just give it time. Only disturb soil if you are transplanting. Even then you need to be very very careful.

Yes, it's best to let the plants do their thing. Always keep an eye on things but don't try over analyze everything. I've seen more damage done to gardens by people trying to correct every little thing they see, or think they see. It's great to deeply care about your plants but you can smother them with too much attention. Hope that makes a little sense to you. GL.

First "flower" on first grow.

I have killed many seeds by checking on them, don't do it!

wow didn't know i could kill them that way but thanks for the advice guys. @green thumb mn dude that plant is beautiful! let me know how it turns up!

Eh, not really. Other than obviously breaking a stem off, transplanting can be a very barbaric process and still be successful.

I agree if just keeping a plant alive is your goal. IMHO it is best to stress the plant as little as possible. Done right a plant should resume growing very quickly after transplant

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the tap root.

I agree, growing cannabis is a naturally beautiful process and gardening itself is very therapeutic.

Once you get the gardening bug, it's hard to stop growing these amazing plants.

Good luck brother!
