Okay, I have planted my first ever crop. I'm not expecting anything better than some home grown.:dunce: I germinated 5 of the best looking seeds i could find in a dub of some mids i purchased. I chose darkest largest, and most tiger-striped i could find.

I let the tiny little root grow to almost half an inch before i popped them in the ground.

I made something i figured would be good for the seedlings.

This is what it consisted of, a 1.5 liter bottle 3/4 full of water. Fresh ashes i made from maple leaves, about 1/4 a cup of those which i crushed into a fine powder. I also added a few capsules of Damiana pills i opened up and poured the powder into the bottle, and im not going to lie i put some dog shit in there too, because i heard it would be good to stimulate the roots' growth. And like 8 Dandilion leaves. (The yellow part of the weed/plant) By now i had something looking like a compost. The bottle was full. I Shook it up and shook it up. Til i had a black liquid with little yellow accents in it XD lol

Anyways, i went to a spot where i plowed up about 2 sq. ft of ground a few days earlier when i started the germination process. played with the dirt in my hands breaking it up making a fine soil. I poured a bit of the "compost" i made around the spot, Stirred it real good. Threw a lil dry dirt in it...idk why honestly, just trying different things here. :wall:

Anyways i barely packed the ground down just enough to even the surface out a little bit. Again i do not know why im not really well informed on the growing of gods gift. I know i completely skipped a step by first planting my seeds in the own little "compartments/things" Any ways i poked my fingers in the ground about an inch in like not the edges of the square but about 4 inches away from normal ground. I popped the 5 seeds in the ground about atleast 7 inches away from each other, or tried to anyways. covered them up. And poured the remaining compost on and around them.

So anyways i was just looking to see if there are any other things i could do to my lil seedlings to give them the best grow possible without having to buy anything too expensive, i have a very short budget because i dont have a job...(ima yung'n) And also had the question of , is pissing on my plants good for them? Or could it ruin the pH levels? I would very much appreciate the help if any,:leaf: thank you!

Read the newbie section as much as you can . 7" apart is far too close together, 5-6' apart in random pattern is better. Buy some cheap soluble fertilizer from Wal-Mart and use tiny amounts as most newbs over do it on their first grow. The organic "mix" you put together is unlikely to provide a ready source of macronutrients any time soon except the ashes which may in fact burn your plants and lower the pH severely. Forget about the dog shit idea. Save up $5 and get a fert. with a KNOWN analysis ex: 10-10-10, 14-14-14 etc. Less is more. Have no idea what you were trying to do with the "Damiana" pills. You can pee around your grow area to help discourage rabbits, deer etc. but avoid getting it on or even near your plants. Hope this helps. You have a ton to learn.

an inch down is going to take them awhile to break surface, u planted them a bit deep, but good luck. piss, bad idea, the ammonia alone would kill the small seedlings, not to mention the high salt content is terrible for the plants in general.
