Going gorillas with Kaia Kush

Hey guys! Let me first say that I am a complete newb when it comes to growing but I have been doing my fair share of reading. Not expecting huge yields or anything, but I would like to make the buds I do harvest to be as dank and smelly as they can be :eyesmoke:

This is my 2nd attempt at doing the whole growing thing here. I had an indoor setup for a small plant in my first grow but it had to be killed after 2 weeks of veg (nosy neighbours). This time I'm planning on going full stealth and have started the seeds already. Bought a 5 pack of GHS Kaia Kush feminized.

I did not want to risk any mess ups of being caught this time around and so I started the seeds in a discrete location outdoors in 4 inch pot filled with peat moss. Unfortunately only 1/5 survived, two of my pots definitely had some bird get at it and the other two didn't germ. After this catastrophe I decided to move my last girl back indoors until shes strong enough to hold her own. I don't have a grow box or anything set up this time around so I've just been stealthily leaving her under a lamp and giving her some sunlight when I can.

Also I have a feeling that my initial location was not optimal so I have been scouting new spots everyday. And i think i managed to find one today; lots of sunlight and very close to a water source. Seeing as it is only one plant I'm not too worried about choppers.

This one girl is a little over a week old but she seems a little runty compared to some other babies I've seen in other journals, but she's a fighter! She had to sit through two thunderstorms when she was outdoors and I'm still waiting for the pot to drain fully. Her color didn't look too great when i brought her back in but shes back to a steady evergreen now.

I have a feeling I may have put her in a pot that was too big as well.
QUESTION: Should I just wait it out and let her grow slowly or do you think I could safely move her to a smaller pot till she gets bigger at this point? (I don't think her roots are too big, but I don't want to shock her to death ya know?)

Personally, and being a newb like yourself, that plant looks like it's getting a burn on one of it's leaves... Better watch that one.

Leaving it in a big pot would cause no harm, there's reasons why most growers would use little then go up..
1) Common to overwater big pots
2) When transplanting you can check roots to see if you need a soil change
3) Easier to keep consistent moisture in little pots

And every time you transplant you shock them but its very small, but like I said it wouldn't cause any harm to it

I started about... 40 plants awhile back, about 20 of them survived and still growing outdoors. I should have put them in a bigger pot rather than just the starter I used.

She won't get shocked especially if using native soil. Are you using native soil there? If not, and afraid of shocking, try maybe a 25/75 or 50/50 native soil to that soil? Just a suggestion.

She's still growing real slow. I definitely overwatered right after I planted the seedlings initially. Im thinking of just digging a plot at my location and filling it with storebought soil I have and possibly some worm castings, when I'm ready to transplant from the pot.

Bad news, she died D:, Didn't take her to her final location but had her in her pot in a location closer to my house. Some faggot kicked the pot and the plant mustve been buried for a day or 2. Got some other seeds on the way though, not doing GHS again, going HGS this time and have higher hopes.
