MY FIRST SEASON ( Advice Wanted )

My first grow is starting good i believe.

i've done the paper towel method and germinated the seeds.

I have my seeds... they are from a good source.

I have put them in pairs of 2 into an eggshell. ( to grow indoor @ in a window till i transplant outside. )

I have my spot (completely safe) picked out and prepped just waiting on growth.

Question 1: How big should they get before i can safely move outside?

I am going to plant in just plain ol' dirt;

Question 2: What should outdoor PH and Levels be? What is a good soil type to mix in?*NUTRIENTS*! ( PLEASE Explain all the soil testing/ water testing-For OUTDOORS)

I have been told by a previous grower to use tomato miracle grow for good growth.

Question 3: Is "Tomato MG" good to use or no? If so..wat ratio should i use? what else are my "CHEAP growth OPTIONS"...? without burning the roots and weakening the THC yield..

Im not sure if i should be worried about bugs or pests..

Question 4: What about big game?-(rabbits birds..etc)- what about bugs or pests? "Trying to keep low key just for the safety of it"

THANKS FOR THE HELP!

My plants are exactly 1 week old today.

i have 1 that has been coming up fine, and 1 that sorta looks to be struggling.

i have watered them everyother day, and kept them in sunlight during the day.

i woke up today and saw that of the plants that are up.. 1 of them has fallen over a little bit. The stalk looks healthy still but its jus scarin me to see it laid over. i watered it this morning and im on schedule...

But what should i do about the ones that are struggling?

so its been 2 1/2 weeks since i put them in the dirt.

i am having trouble transplanting them into a bigger pot.

the ones i started them in are about 2 1/2 inches tall or so .. very small red clay pots with 1 breath hole in the bottom.

i tried flipping it up and getting it to fall out.. but im havin troubles.

any ideas as to how i could loosin the dirt uup a little bit?

ok.. so its been a good while since i have posted on here but i need some re-assurance on my plants.

so my plants are about 6 weeks old and stand about a foot or less tall. no burn spots and healthy.

but they are surrounded deep within trees; but i feel like they might not be getting enough sun,

at 6 weeks old is 1 foot growth outdoors about normal?

damn I didnt know this was here a month ago, but if I had known I probably woulda told you not to plant them in pairs, dont use plain ol dirt, and the NPK of the ferts depends on the state of your plants, if they are in vegetative state the NPK should be high in nitrtogen, if your flowering you need higher phosphorus.

6 weeks old veggin outside should be about 2ft, but sometimes nature doesnt allow it and it may rain for days, or it may get too cold, it may be shaded at certain times or whatever but anything could come along and stunt your growth.

I was confused in your first post, why are u using egg shells? and if your using plain old dirt, that shows us your not taking this grow seriously, so why are u concerned with soil pH levels, soil-mixes, and soil testing?

If u arent willing to invest in some decent dirt, or peat moss or whatever then U probably should wait until your seriously ready to dig out the "plain ol dirt" and put some really good shit in there.
