I'm a beginner at growing. As in this is my very first plant ever planted. I have it planted outside. Straight in the ground and I was wondering how I would transplant it to another spot outside safely. It's a seedling so I would assume it it very fragile right now. Any tips or advise would be much appreciated!

dig a big circle around the plant and lift the dirt ball out of the ground. if it's a seedling, it really only has the one long, center root. there are smaller roots sprouting from the side of it but they are pretty short. these little seedlings are a lot tougher than you might think.

Anyone else here doing a guerrilla grow? If so what strains are you doing?

If you mean it's now just a stem with no leaves, no it won't resprout.

It's hard to say based on that but if you can post a pic I can tell you for sure whether there's a chance. Otherwise it's just guesswork.

I'd say there's a fair chance it will recover.
no.
I totally agree.. in fact it should.
did they maintain the temperature, etc the same throughout all variances?

I have a question that can interest everybody.
Why do my stems have purple/reddish lines on them? There is still a lot of green though. I will take a picture when the lights come back on.

Purple stems I wouldn't worry about it at all. Some strains just have that colouring. I read that if it is a deficiency Magnesium is the culprit.
EDIT: sorry I meant phosphorous.. hit it with bud fert and watch it disappear

Are the leaves yellow and pale? Then maybe give it more N.
Magnesium, phosphorus or cold temperatures maybe causing purple stems. Or they are naturally that colour. I wouldn't stress about it at all.

Apparently some people seek out that purple/red stem trait- I would post the link but not sure if the site is allowed. Just google "dj short red stems" they love it.

Yes I would imagine he did. He's the most intelligent and knowledgeable grower I have ever seen in my life and he had a hand in the creation of some well known strains that we all take for granted as well as the beginnings of the whole cannabis scene, so I trust he would have taken all factors into consideration.
Red stems. Are you sure it's the stem and not the petioles? If it's the petioles it has nothing to do with a deficiency and you see it on most plants.

I decided to buy 10 regular Auto Assassin seeds (highest rated sativa dominant autoflower by our friends on the interwebz) and I'm going to try to gorilla these out by a river spot in the local foothills. Hopefully I can get two harvests by the time the season is over, and thats on top of my Malawi Golds and my other 80%/20% sativa strain I have. Its going to be a good one.
I really just hope these autoflowers don't suck though because for a good while I was very skeptical about them, but I will be selling the yield so hopefully at the very least they will help my patients.

Salutations FreeHugs,
It's not all clear to me: why would you want to grow an auto-flowering strain outdoors when there's never 18 - 20 hours of daylight and even less sunlight?...
The benefit of being an "auto", i thought, would be a brief life-cycle as a result of receiving more light daily. If the seeds are germinated outdoors now then the vegetative phase won't be optimal and then it would only seem natural that they don't deliver a havest up to normal expectations. Personally i'd want to complete a satisfying early development phase, expecially when considering its flowering phase wouldn't be optimal neither... Only then i'd bring them under the sun to benefit from the protection of natural parasite predators, etc. Thinking some UV may do them good too.
Please tell where i've got it all wrong if i have!

You don't have to grow autos with 18-20 hours of light. Since you're growing outdoors you have the benefit of the sun, which even on an overcast day, is better than most grow lights, so it makes up for having a shorter photoperiod. Plenty of people germinate autos at this time of the year and get on fine. You could germinate a bit later so the harvest is at about the time when the days are the longest but he's trying to do two separate and consecutive harvests instead of one main one.
Autos have a short life cycle because they flower automatically rather than it having to do with the amount of light they receive. Indoors people try and maximise yield by giving their autos as many kWh of light as they can so they can get the plants as big as possible during the fixed vegetative stage and about 18-20h is the max beyond which there are diminishing returns making longer photoperiods less optimal.
Super autos should be germinated right now at the latest IMO because they take about as long as many standard non-autoflowering hybrids and so if you want to finish them before your buds turn to mush in northern latitudes you need to get them started as early as possible.
Semi-autoflowering strains also need to be started right about now, to be planted out by mid- to late-May.
