2021-05-27 Day 9
Just a heads up I found a small glitch on Growdiaries, not their fault though they never likely would have expected someone to try and put -1C on their nighttime temps 😂. That’s right we had a really cold night followed by a night of frost. I didn’t manage to get the girls covered the first night because I didn’t get a frost advisory, but I managed to scrap up a very piss poor cover, water bottles for the frost.
To note I know that growing in a pot on a brick or stone patio or some other thermal mass is a great way to save yourself from cold temps. The thermal mass absorbs the heat during the day and emits heat as it cools off during the night. But my in-laws vegetable garden in a raised bed got murdered by the cold night while my directly in the ground auto seedlings all made her. I’m wondering if the 2ft tall vegetation around them acts as a thermal mass, let me know what you think.
Anyway all but 1 of the girls made her this week. My gelato that had the rough start and pulled through got eaten by something, my fault should have had a cage over her and the rest but time has been short. Sorry @greenhouselab I really appreciated the bean man!
Second biggest auto so far, healthy as fuck and growing great, anticipation is high for this girl.
First few weeks are slow, it’ll get interesting trust me!
