I decided to try a new germination technique this time. I planted my seeds directly into jiffy pellets that were soaked with water and Recharge. Ive never tried this method with cannabis, but I have had great success with the jiffy pellets, with fruits and vegetables. But as I am moving in a little over a month, I decided to take the worst looking seeds I had in my seed bank, and attempt to grow them. As i do not want to start up a huge grow again just to have to tear it down to move, I figured id do some experimentation!! Maybe some aggressive training techniques or something else Ive never tried. I will be running 4 different strains through this abuse, so please let me know if you have anything yall would want to see me try to do to hem in the first 6 weeks of veg of a cannabis plant! Not worried about if this run dies, I just want to learn more! Im trying to get crazy!! lol
So I decided to go ahead and try my luck at my first outdoor grow! I just dont have the room this year for an indoor grow... Ive grown vegetables outdoors but have never tried cannabis. Im very worried about pests and the sun being too bright and intense for my plants, so I bought a little 5x5 green house to put them in. It has an open face and with a couple fans im hoping I can keep it cool enough! If anyones got any outdoor growing advice for growing in the Southern heat of prohibition land!!
Unfortunately this week my seedlings were hit by a squirrel.... He didn't do a ton of damage, but managed to taste at least a couple bites of all my plants just to make sure he didnt like any of them... So I moved them inside, and but them under my HLG 65. I figured id let them grow up a little then move them back outside and put them in my green house. This Girl has been a strange one, and seems to be determined to grow strangely... Lots of twisting and folding unfortunately. Im backing off the light some, hoping this will help.
I moved my seedlings back outside in a desperate attempt to dry out my soil, but now I am battling temps that reach highs in the 100s. This seedlings is just overall disappointing... its extremely weak, and just is not growing well. While this is most likely my fault, bc of overwatering, but im just kind letting it ride, but will probably cull. If anyone has any advice on growing cannabis in high outdoor temps, please let me know!
