7/10 - first signs of life today. Seedling emerged from the soil and is looking healthy. Got around 1” (2.5cm) of rain today but seedling was protected with a plastic dome. Plant was in direct sunlight from 9am-1pm, shade 1pm-5pm and sunlight from 5-sunset.
7/11 - Plant was in direct sunlight from 9am-2pm, shade 2pm-5pm and sunlight from 5-sunset.
7/12 - seedling looking strong and growing taller, about to outgrow the plastic dome being used to cover it. Plant was in direct sunlight from 9am-3pm, shade from 3-5 pm and then sunlight 5-sunset.
7/14 - seedling got its first watering since sprouting, no nutes.
@Kitties_and_Colas, I can’t even imagine. this heat and the fabric pots have me watering all the time and I’ve got mine right near the spigot. Check out Gardening with Leon on YouTube. That’s where I got the idea and he has a larger scale version I plan to use in the future.
@RecreationalRoots, its a really cool idea, ill follow to see how it turns out 😺...we have to cart water to our outdoor stuff most years and it can be an insane amount of work
@Kitties_and_Colas tbh this is my first time growing. I have two other plants that are about 4 weeks older than this grow (check out that diary) that I’ll be able to compare this one to so hold tight and I’ll let you know. It definitely is making a huge difference in extending the time between watering s compared to fabric pots.
