Week 2 Veg: (Late post)
This week was the big day. We transplanted the girls into there full pots on 4/20. Cant think of a better way to celebrate to be honest.
The weather was still a bit ornery, so I left them on my porch for a few days while I finished my drip loop.
During loop contruction i ran into a few issues, mainly being the 1/2 gal/h emitters I got didn't seem to want to do the trick, and the original water pump i had was not high enough GPH.
I got a different pump that is 3 times as powerful, but still didnt want to push water through the emitters. So I ended up switching for some 360 blubbers. These work much better, but still dont provide what i feel to be adequate water dispersion to the entire pot, although they do allow for run off, so Ive got that going for me.
I was 4 emiters short, so ill need to make a trip to the store in the near future.
All in all, the plants are looking wonderful in there greenhouse, and are looking even better getting twords the week 3 update. That should be right around the corner
There are a few issues I'm running into, but ill save that for week 3 and see if it has cleared up sense then.
As the weather is getting nicer, the animals have come out to play. A rabbet got into my green house and ate one of the girl scouts.
All in all, it was the smallest of the Girl Scouts, so although I am bummed, I'm more glad he didnt eat one of the bigger ones.
I put my netting up this week. Hopefully it will serve two parts, one acting as the Screen for the girls so I can streach them horizontally, and two provide a barrier to keep those damn rabbits out. #frickoffrabbits
The netting was put up at 5 inches above soil, so that should give me enough clean room under the canopy to work in.
Seeing as I changed my plan from natural growth to screen on the scouts and widdows (they are in the same side of the room) I will need to go get a 2nd net for the Annas on the right side of the room.
it will give me two nice screens and a walk path down the center, should be golden as they fill out.
While I'm at the store today I should probably also buy a package of differnt "drip" ends. The 1/2 gallon per hour ones I didnt like, so I went with bubblers across the board, but I am short on a few lines, so another pack of those.
And a pack of goof plugs so I can add the photofem blue dream seedling I have.
This was a good week of growth besides that.
Everyone is looking healthy and happy, they love their weekly foiliar feeding, and Beni tea on occation.
The wether gets nicer, and I just want to say outside more, I even got my first sunburn :P
