Beginner's First guerilla try! need help

[volted]

Hello there!!! [this is my first post ]

In the begging of April I decided to grow a plant (just one, for personal use). So, I ordered 3 of these seeds from sensiseeds

I can't grow them indoors (because of many reasons) so I plan to grow outdoors (guerilla style)

So, I germinated one of the 3 seeds (for 4 days). Everything looked fine at that stage.
4 days after germination (9th of April) I planted the seed in a distant place (that nobody goes) near a river.

Because there was a lot of rain the week before and because it was near a river I didn't water the plant a lot (it was like 1 time every 2 days).

Its been 8 days since I buried the seed and I can only see a very small part of leafs coming out (I will try to get a picture tomorrow to show you guys). Is that normal??? Because in pretty much every guide picture I see, after a week the plant is pretty visible and quite tall.

did you prepare your soil ? , or what soil is it in ?, the temps how are they? , and how much light are they getting ?

Re: [beginner] First guerilla try! (need help)

the soil is the natural soil (which is pretty moist the whole part of the day - because of the river). Temps right now are around 23C at midday and 15 at night. It gets a lot of sunlight from 10am - 7pm

If you've planted her outdoors in the ground at 4 days, I think you're lucky she is still alive.

any protection from slugs ? snails ect , wont be good if soil is always moist , they like a wet dry cycle

Re: [beginner] First guerilla try! (need help)

what can I use against that?? (i haven't seen any insects around but there are probably some)

 

[NuttyProfessor]

Re: [beginner] First guerilla try! (need help)

some gravel or something like that , sand ect something that they will not cross

Ok, so here is a pic that I took today (the plant is now 10 days old and that is how it looks):

Cool, keep going.....

 

[volted]

is this height normal for a 10 day plant?

How long is a piece of string volted?

There is no such thing as normal....you put her straight into the ground and she has survived so you have a good seed/strain there to work with. There is probably a lot going on underground as the roots strive to get a good foothold. If she makes it out there in the great outdoors, I bet she will be a tree.

Do you know what strain she is?

 

[volted]

It's a feminised skunk 1
I got the seeds from here: Buy Skunk #1 Feminized seeds online - White Label

so what about watering at that stage? should i water it more (right now I water 3-4 times a week)?

 

[Bapple]

I have never started a seed directly in the ground even though I am an outside grower.....all I can say to you is that I have never had to water any seedling more than once a week, I only put my plants in the ground at between 14 and 21 days....if you are overwatering her that will stunt her growth....

Lets hope she grows well and healthy *fingers crossed*

Hey after well over 30 years of outdoor stealth grows I can make a few suggestions. First you may get some insight from my old blog it is called "What a Long Strange Trip it's Been" It has a lot of outdoor growing pointers. I suggest Epsom salts to discourage insect pests sprinkled directly on the ground in a circle around the plant. This also discourages some small animals I have used it successfully for many years around muskmelon and watermelons.

thanks a lot for the advice mate!! i will try to find some epsom asap

is that your blog? ?????????? Grow Room

Also one more general question: Am I the first of my kind (as stupid as) to plant a germinated seed directly to natural soil?? can that harm the plant? or will it make it stronger?
