Welcome to week one of my 2022 summer outdoor photoperied run. The goal is to grow a Quebec blue and an AK47 directly in the ground in my garden. I actually popped 4 seeds.. 2 of each strain. The extra 2 are for my dad's garden and will not be a part of this diary.
I plan to feed mostly with organic fish/aquamarine nutrients throughout the summer; all this content will be pulled from a great lake and a trout factory... I'm trying something new! I included a photo of a wheelbarrow full of zebra muscle shells, minnows, seaweed, silt, and all kinds of other organic content that I have access to.. I don't know how I'm going to make it work.. but I will 🤣
I started them indoors inside my tent. I germinated the seeds by putting them directly in a cup of organic soil and leaving them under a heat lamp for a few days. All 4 have finally 'broke ground'.
I will have the light down to 14 hours a day when I bring them outside in a week or two. I'll keep them in their original container for a few days in the shade before I put them directly in the ground.
