are my plants looking small for a month old?

[Drugcheese]

Hello all,

I need some feedback. These babies are little over a month old they were planted straight into the ground from seed. They are getting atleast 6 hours of sunlight per day maybe more.



edit: fixed

you should host your pictures on this site, its more secure. for everyone else right click the broken image link and open in new window.

yeah those plants are pretty small for one month. by one month you should be at least on 6-8 nodes depending on the lighting. which based on the shady pictures you uploaded, is the problem, that or the soil. looks pretty compacted and heavy clay. based on the color and what i can tell in the pictures.

in the future you should dig a hole and fill it with soil mix that has nutes before you plant. that way the plant can get established before it attempts to dig it's roots into heavy soil. and or find a spot that gets more sunlight. a south facing slope.

The soil is rich in nutrients composted horse manure and peat moss rich potting soil. And I did dig holes they are all in holes. also regarding uploading to my gallery it says:

Trees are blocking valuable sunlight thats going to decrease my harvest big time this site has been used before but every year the trees get bigger and bigger blocking valuable, precious sunlight

i think theres a post in the site forum. go to main forum and scroll all the way down. if it's not the soil then they are in too much shade. i couldn't really see from the pictures. looked like clay. one of those looks like it's about 3 days old and the other about a week.

 

[Drugcheese]

they look healthy though and the spot it's at gets plenty of sunlight they are defintely not in clay the soil is rich potting soil mixed in with blood/bone meal and mulched with horse manure

 

[Drugcheese]

Btw... that's not clay it's composted horse manure

Yea a little small but in the outdoors you take what you can get.

 

[Drugcheese]

Thanks all, hopefully they'll take off soon

They dont untill u cut trees down, and soil can be also to fertilized for seedlings which drasticly slow their roots growth down.

 

[Drugcheese]

can't cut down any trees because for one they provide cover and two copters will see it and it could stick out like a sore thumb

and they do take off in my experience at least the first few weeks are really slow then they just burst into monsters

 

[RosettaStoned]

I have experience using shady spots, they usually do start off slow, but they should reach an okay size. Good luck.

 

[guest845704]

I hope they overgrow all surrounding trees and do like that after all hehe. Post pix when they move. Good luck there!
