Got started late this year. Sprouted with no issue from soil, sitting bright room at room temp (20-24 deg C°). Trying not to over-water them. Only watering when soil on top is dry.

Steady growth. Seed in Black pot seems to be doing better. Only using a mix of 20w sprouting lamp (at night) and sunny window sill in the day.

Black pot seems much healthier. Red cup has potting soil in it, and black has soil from a garden pot from last season. Black is actually 3 days younger. Not sure if it's the soil or just seeds doin their thing.

Great growth on the black pot plant this week. It's looking deep green and healthy as. I replaced the soil around the smaller plant (was red cup) with the garden soil that the black pot is using. It grew a tiny bit but still looking pale and going very slow. It's not dying, but definitely not thriving yet. Quebec Blue seed (in red cup) grew a very small amount but hasn't quite settled in. Also a bit pale. Both red cup plants got a tiny bit of a 13-4-5 houseplant fertilizer stick. Waiting a few days to see if that helps or harms. Update: Ended up transplanting the good one into a 10 gallon bag for the rest of the season. Took it like a champ! Fingers crossed!

The big GDP plant took the transplanting well, and is continuing to grow. I started LST on it. It looks happy and healthy. The small GDP (black cup) and Quebec Blue (red cup) are enjoying shaded spots outside and starting to get much more deep green. They both showed some growth over the last few days. Still not sure why they started so weak, but I think we're on our way.

Decent growth on the big girl this week. Hard to see due to the LST but it's getting a fatter stem and new leaves developing. Smaller plants continued to stay nice and deep green. Growing slowly. Not sure if I should get them in their forever pots now or wait till they grow a bit more. I brought them inside due to colder weather, back outside this week.

Beauty week of nice weather with a few really hot humid days. Plants are loving it. The Big GDP is continuing to grow really well, and the LST seems to be working. Every few days I pin it back down along the round cage and it keeps reaching back upwards within hours/a day. I transplanted the smaller GDP and Quebec Blue into large 7/10 gal pots and they are finally showing some growth. All looking healthy as. Happy days growers!

Great week of growth. The big GDP is chugging along and rebounds quickly after having the top tied down. Looking very healthy. Smaller GDP and Quebec Blue are enjoying their bigger pots and growing well. All good! Happy growing!

Great week of growth on all three plants. The big GDP is growing like a champ, taking the LST well. The other two are loving the new big pots and fattening up. Might just let them grow naturally without topping/dimming or LST. Hmmmmmm. 🙂

All plants going strong. The LST has worked awesome on the big GDP plant. Lots of 'main' branches shooting up.
