Slapz, full organic. First timer

Week 2, poor lighting and poor humidity conditions. Rough starts do not determine a bad finish

they’re growing a lot of veg growth at the week 3 stage, hardening them off before transplant outside

Transplanted into 15 gallon fabric pots, 1/3rd happy frog and 2/3 ocean forest from Fox Farm. Still no nutrients given at this point

Bushing out in this phase, not much vertical growth this week. Loving the sun and doing great against bugs, a little bit of a mite issue. Starting using Doctor Zymes at this stage

Getting too big for this table.. lol, might start adding some support or blueprint one out. Zymes has been working well so far at this point

Moved them off the table and out into the yard, added some chicken wire. Don’t know how well it would have held at this point lol. Growing pretty vigorously and getting taller

Added some nutrients and the plants didn’t like it. Fox Farm soil doesn’t need any nutrients until after Veg, especially with this size pot. New bug which is always fun… grrr

Feeding just water after the overfeed, they seem like they’re bouncing back a bit and feeling better. Also used way too much Dr Zymes and burned them a bit. Oh well, mites are gone!

Japanese beetles 😡 The worst things ever for any plant or pool, this will be fun. However, looks like they might start flowering soon. Getting stretchy and the plants are bushing out like crazy

Flower! Pistils! Excitement! Can’t believe flower started this early, which means I get to have the ripest buds possible, hopefully 🙏🏼 oh and I’ve got a garden guardian 🕷️🕸️

Stretching like crazy at this stage, no nutrients still. No need and they’re not asking for any. Compost tea stuff ordered and I begin brewing the compost tea next week

Plants have been put on a compost tea regiment. Brewed once a week on Fridays and dosed on Sundays. Fighting off phytoplasma which is the cause of the purpling, the purpling is actually a sign it is fighting it off and winning.
