on may 1, i took my seedlings, that had germinated and stuck them in a 1 gal potting pot. they were growing pretty good.then i took them to a new location, and transplanted them into mother earth, thinking this would be even better for growth without getting rootbound .i did this 3 weeks ito a grow of bagseed. it`s been about 3 weeks since i did that, and all growth seems to have stopped!?!?!? i loosened the soil good and waterd after transplanting. no nuts or ferts, are they telling me that they are hungry, or did i stun the growth with the transplant??? i was expecting them to be at least over a foot tall !! i have 9 unsexed plants out there that range from 5 inches -1 inch tall. seems pathetic to me, but this is my first grow and from all the reading on this site i been doin, i`m finding out that i realy dont know squat,and theres alittle more to this then throwin some seed around like johnny apple seed ,and comin back in sept. and expectin a harvest. i`ll try to post a digipic so you can get a look at the bigest one see if you can derive something from the pic`s hope someone can give me some pointers

Well when you transplant you can put them into shock slowing down their growth process but only temporarily. The only thought that comes to mind is, are they getting enough light? You may not be used to how they grow a lil' slower outside compared to your 24/0 light cycles indoors. Also if they weren't prepped for being outside (use of fan) they'll take time just expanding their strength before getting taller. It may also depend on your strain. You could have been ****ed over and gotten a breed of ruderalis, but thats pretty rare. Good luck man.

Well, when I plant in the woods, I plant in an area that has the most and tallest natural plants. I do this because I know the soil and the light must be the best in those locations. I stomp down a sizable area so that nothing is shading my plant, then I stick it in the ground. I am looking at your picture and the soil seems to be very nasty looking. Moreoever, I dont see any wild plants growing in there at all. If the native wild plants arent growing in an area, there is a reason for it. Perhaps the soil is bad, or just good enough to sustain current growth.

have u checked ur ph? u can buy a ph tester for cheap at a place like Lowes or somtin. also i think ur problem is deffinatly the dirt, i would personally make at least 40% of the soil ur growing in perlite, this aireates it out and will help root growth.. let us know how it goes.

its always a good thing to go to ur site at diffrent hours of the day to make sure nothing gets in the way of the sun at certain hours, i had this problem before, u can fix it by cutting branches and such down, or perhaps could be better off find a spot with alot of tall greens around and clear it out, thats what i did and im having pretty good sucess right now.

the feild that they are in is lush and thick with nateral plantlife mostly poison sumack , ivy and stickerbushes out the wazoo !!there are patches of ground were there seems to be no growth. i thought it was the deer over grazin. we got those things bad round here.... i followed a deer trail to the locatin in the middle of all that tangle ,and it gets direct sunlight from 9am-almost 8 pm. its weird.... when i go there, its like the hottest part af the field ,sorta like a hotspot or something .i was thinkin about miraclegro fish emulsion 5-1-1, nitrogen being the hightest.can they handle this at almost 2 months or should i wait another week to see if they bounce back?

wouldnt be a bad idea to feed um with that if u havent fed them anytime recently, but i saw some posts when people gardens got dug up cause they had fish emulsion in it not sure if its true, so on the safe side maybe put some chunks of soap around ur garden to keep animals away.
