Hey I'm new to this site and new to growing!! I got on some bud a few weeks back riddled in seed so I thought why not plant some, out of the 50+ seeds I planted in my front yard one survived so I dug it up out of my lawn and put it in a pot plant it has survived that as well!! I have not added anything sprayed it with anything just got soil out of.my veggie patch which is fertilised with pony shit. Tgoughts and comments on how it's looking so far?

What region of the world do you live?

Yes I've been told I planted a couple weeks early but the weather was really good so hopefully this baby grows big!

If you want BIG...YOU WILL have to give it lots of root room in good soil.
Like 50 or more gallons (I use 400)
If you go with organic nutes then the guess work is left out and it's more forgiving.
 
If it was me, I would dig a hole twice the size of the container the plants in now. Add some fresh soil in the bottom of the hole, remove plant and all the dirt it is in and place in hole. Add additional soil mix/top soil to fill in perimeter of the transplant area and the top, so it looks like a pitchers mound around the transplanted plant. I would LIGHTLY water to pack it down and make sure air pockets don't rob the plant of h2o. And then let the plant set for 2-3 days before watering again.

As long as you transplant with all the soil pictured above, you should be fine. Just don't overwater.

I would do it at sunset.
 
its pretty hard to over water when the plants are planted strait in the ground.Moor water bigger plants and bigger fruit.I try to water 3-4 days in a row when planting small plants in the ground unless its raining,they take off good for me that way.

I would say there are different environmental variables that would allow more watering vs. less watering. My environment is pretty self sustaining when it comes to water, so I tend to let that work to my advantage.

I have certainly overwatered plants and crops planted outside in my decades of gardening. But I would imagine my location is unique in being 5 miles from Lake Michigan and 1 mile from multiple riverways. Probably very different in other states where natural water sources are not as abundant.

So, if it was me, I would let the water in my natural environment do some of the lifting when I do plant transplants.
 
Hey just a update on how the plant is going :) last night the cat took.a shit in the pot plant, the plant was a bit dug up but seems to have no stem damage so hopefully it will survive!!! Does everyone think it's going ok so far?
