So, some unfortunate bastard stole all 14 of my plants. Literally came onto my property and swiped every last one of them, leaving the one dead one. All of my love and care that went into those babies forever lost. Unfortunately for the people that stole them (which are absolutely punk local kids), I have extremely good connections within the "community", so let's just say the hammer will come down especially hard when they blab, which is inevitable.
Anyways, the spot that I had them in wasn't quite ideal as far as the amount of light that they got everyday, so they were growing a little on the slow side. To be honest, they were pretty stunted. My thought is that if I start over now, in a new spot that will receive literally twice the amount of DIRECT sunlight per day that my old plants were, combined with a very good nute program, I will be about in the same place I was before in a week or two. I know it's a little on the late side for a New England outdoor grow, but I have to try for something. I'm not just going to give up and wait until next year.
I'm planning on just treating the soil and planting directly into the ground after the new seedlings acquire their first set of true leaves, so as not to waste time with root shock later on down the line.
How much time/veg have I lost, and how will that translate into lost yeild? I will plan on harvesting right after the first frost, which where I live typically happens halfway through September, leaving me a good 3.5 months for veg and flower, possibly more.
Any comments?
