Hello everyone I am new to growing but I have been reading a lot on these forums and other sites so I went ahead and started my grow in the woods. I have taken some pictures of the plants progress however my oldest seedlings are only 4 weeks old right now. They are all bagseeds with some at 4 weeks while the others are at 2 weeks. I think they are growing slowly though and I have a few questions as to why. I'm not sure if I have enough light as there are trees above blocking some of the sun during the day. During the afternoon they get the most sun. They are in a clearing but I took down some of the smaller trees nearby to give them more light. They also suffered a light frost early on and a lot of rain afterwards. I believe this might also have stunted their growth as I think they have been getting to much rain water, but I'm not positive. I havn't watered them for many days because of this and the soil is just now starting to dry out at the top.
The soil I used was from a local garden shop that is a mix of Peat Moss, Perlite, Lime, and another part I can't recall atm. I also mixed in a cup of Blood Meal and Bone Meal and some Bat Guano. Each hole has about 1.5 cu ft of soil. The water I use is from a stream nearby that PH tested at about 6.0. I also bought 2 types of fertilizer; Natures Harvest Fish and Seaweed Emulsion and Miracle Grow Organic Fertilizer, both of wich I havn't used yet.
Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
p.s. I'll post the pics when I figure it out...
