A little garden I started, first time mixing my own no till-mix
Soil mix , castings , Malibu compost, sunshine peat moss .
Need seed meal, kelp , crab , alfalfa
And perlite
Seeds germed a few days ago
Started in jiffy pots
Week 2 things going good got some popping and growing good
Day 11 transplanted some into the ground and into 20g pots with the homemade notill living soil mix
Week 5 trans planted a few into the home made beds topped with a fresh mix of soil worm castings, mighty blend peatmoss , Malibu compost . Pumice crab meal, neem seed, alfalfa, kelp.
Also mulched the entire beds to help with water consumption and keep the roots cool
Week 10
Lst and topped a few to fill the net . Looking pretty good . Few bugs but regular neem oil foliar spray with silica to help strengthen em . Feed with kombucha plant wash a few times in between.
Been very hot with watering every other day . Plain water and occasionally hand watered bio ag tm7 and fulhumix.
Plans for a hoop house to help shade from the blistering sun and provide a nice environment for em .Several days in the 100s and had some signs of heat stress here and there
With the white plastic there looking pretty happy . Leaves praying up hope it’s enough light getting to em . Stays pretty cool during the hottest days
Pretty much all showing preflowers and starting to stretch hard
Plants getting enough light?
Put a white greenhouse plastic over em that shades and diffuses the light. plants look happy with praying leaves . Or are they trying to stretch to much? Not exactly sure on the light transmission. Is lux a good way to test light in a greenhouse ?
Wow, those are awesome looking plants, they look bushy and big, you will get some nice buds out of those. Careful with the day temperatures, those greenhouses can really get hot under direct sunlight. I would use a greenhouse in case of low temperatures during the day or night, if this is not the case you might want to remove the cover during the day and put it back at night. As for using a lux meter check this https://www.growweedeasy.com/lux-meter
@BigNate89 thanks man! I appreciate it! Can’t wait to see em all gown up ha . Been trying to baby them and seems like there taking off haha but stretching a bit.
Awesome thanks man! Yea that’s what I was worried about but it’s staying pretty cool in the greenhouse got the sides rolled up and door open . Definitely got a bit of shade to it I think it may be 55% shading or around there cause it’s noticeably shady and cooler then the straight sunlight . Not sure how accurate the smart phone lux meters are butits reading anywhere from 30k to 80 90k during the peak hours of the day . need to get a thermometer inside ASAP but it’s feeling pretty nice and cool inside
