May 3: planted out six more into 3 gallon bags.
May 4: the six planted out yesterday don’t look good. I’m still having cation balance problems due to excess sodium in the well water. They might also be stressed if the soil is too rich so I’ll have to figure that out. Had added gypsum, Epsom salts and azomite to the soil for those six and I may have over done it. We’ll see.
May 6: the six plants in the 3 gallon bags are badly burned. This is due to a combination of too much sodium in the water, and too much potassium from the barley sprouts. It’s possible to burn even with organic nutes. Oh well, still learning, and this why I’m trying these techniques on the early plants. Lights out foliar (LAB, FPJ, vinegar, silicate, soap).
May 9: the potted ones are surviving but badly nutrient burned. Hopefully they’ll grow out of it.
@Northern_Ent,I love to smoke the herb that I grow😛,
but it's the growing part that is highly addictive😵 as I've come to find out.
Just can't wait to put some more beans in the soil😏, espescially with Autos
It's always another EXPERIMENT😜.
Grow BIG!!!
@pecorino, I usually top my autos as this helps to prolong the veg phase. Mine usually veg for 6-7 weeks and this is mostly due to the cool nights that slow their metabolism.
@Northern_Ent,for me dutch passion and some strain from royalqueen yielded good, like autohulkberry and autoultimate, the problem for fastbud in my experience was that the vegetative stage was too short for outdoor
@pecorino, I pretty much have to grow autos this far north and I’ve had good success with strains from FB, Auto Seeds, original Sensible, and Crop King.
The most promising this year are the Early Version photoperiods from Delicious seeds.
Anyway, the point is not all autos are tough enough for outdoor but most of them are.
Supposed to be 35c today plus humidity, pushing 40, YUCK!!!
good thing for central air, I keep my house at 72f(20c)approx.
the tents in the basement never exceed 24c👍, so I'm thinking
the Lambs Breath will stay inside for awhile longer, until this heat dissapates
a little, hope all is well and stay cool😎..
Later!!
