Oober noober, small small plants, help! Pics

Hey All!

I am very new to the grow scene. Although i have many hours of online research under my belt (but who of us doesnt), I am lacking in much experience, but i am very much in love with not only plants, but marijuana (the texture, the look, the smell, ect.). I am very eager to learn and be successful in this area, and not many others, so i am asking for the experienced' assistance.

To be honest i wasnt up to buy any special strain seeds, because of the difficulty of growing and the expenses and risk. So i simply saved some bag seeds from some of the best middies i could find, and started germination.

The germination went well, and got me very excited, so i planted six plants in six seperate plastic cups, but 3 of them were lost due to water damage (my assistant neglected to cut holes in the bottom of the cup.. it rained.. go figure) so now i have 3 babies that are about 3 weeks old, and i am praying they will produce me some reward for my effort. and praying to god they arent a majority of males

At about 3 weeks, the plants are only roughly 6 inches tall, with about 6 leaves each, which to my knowledge sounds quite small for their age.

I figured they were not getting enough sunlight, due to tall trees, so i moved them to a field
(it is a guerilla grow, although close to home and in an area with almost no human activity, i am trying to keep them discrete as possible JIC)

i havent used any extra fertilizers or pesticides yet, but i know this is something that will ave to be done soon

Basically i am simply treating them like i would every other plant, watering and checking on them every 2-3 days (depending on weather) but all seems to simple, i suppose i just dont have the patience, but i want to know what i can do, with little to no expenses, to make my plants as large and beautiful as possible

also, i would like to know when they should be planted in the ground, and if i should mix the type of soil (potting soil) in which they are in with the natural dirt, or simply dig a hole and fill it with potting soil

all help and replies are appreciated, and i hope to hear from the best of you soon


!!!!UPDATE!!!!

I have some pictures up of the 3 plants, they were planted around the first or second weekend in may and now they are as seen (which from what ive read, is much too small for their age) i believe they arent getting enough sun, because i am trying to keep it discrete, but i moved them to a field where at about 7:00pm they were still getting light.
also, their leaves have a few holes (maybe bugs?), and white spots (in picture) , which i assume is from the sun
check the pics and tell me what you think


also, i germinated a few more seeds, but forgot about them so it has been atleast 5 days, are the bad now?? or can i still plant them, some are very long, up to 2-3 inches

i am going to get some neem oil and fertilizer (dont know what kind) tomorrow

they look like theyve streched alot to me, maybe when you transplant them bury them up to right under the first set of leaves, and i wouldnt mix it with the natural soil from the ground unless it looks really healthy, using potting soil,its best NOT to use miracle grow soil or food too.im using alaska fish fert for negging its cheap... and those seeds u let germ for 5 days should be perfectly fine just plant them

yeah, a lot of stretching is a sign of poor sunlight. when you transplant them...plant them a 1/2 inch under the primary leaves

when do you think is a good time to transplant them?
asap?

and should i just mix potting soil into the ground, and bury it in the ground
or just mix potting soil with natural soil, and put it in a big pot

remember, trying to keep it discrete, but high yielding

Hey Holtsnewelvis, I would suggest testing the PH in the natural soil before you go mixing it with potting soil. Also, if you decide to keep them in pots, the rule of thumb is a gallon of soil to every foot of plant, although I'm not sure this applies to stretched plants. I might suggest topping if you get to a foot with only 5 nodes. Of course you'll have 2 smaller colas then 1 large one. Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps and good luck man!
