Outside Autos - White Widow

Seedlings growing fast. 1st true leaf developing with 2nd set forming. The pots spend last 3 days / nights out side in the glass house. The glass house is old and broken - no roof and missing panes of glass on the side but does give SOME shelter to the wind. Weather most good but the week ended with heavy topical style rain (10mm in an hour), so the seedlings have been moved back into the garage by a west facing window. Added some table lamps and turned on the garages fluorescent to help provide at some light for this gloomy day. Started heavy on the water - some on the base and regular spraying with a weak seaweed and water solution. But on day 6 started backing off on the water. Did forget to water the living soil around the seedling - doh! So gave the whole pot a bit of a water. Started making a compost tea (Worm casings / compost / liquid seaweed / liquid fish fert / molasses)

Still wild weather (heavy topical-type rain with strong winds). The plants have to spend whole or part days inside this week, with only direct sunlight from 6 am to 12 pm. Gave a small amount compost tea (Molasses + Seaweed extract + Humate + seaweed) at the start of the week and pushed it slightly too long (3 days) until the next watering. Slight droop on the large of the 3 seedlings (DOH!). Working on repairing the glasshouse roof, so we can stop all this moving about, its farking with my back! Worried I haven't put enough drainage (using pumice) in the soil mix but what is done is done.

Decided the plants where growing quite slow. I fed the plants liquid blood and bone (NPK 11-5-7) Weather still really poor, plants spending a fair bit of time inside in low light. Concerned that its slowing them down.

Grow starting to pick up. Made a compost tea with Seaweed / liquid blood and bone / Worm castings / humate Spread diatomaceous earth to control insects. It was a mistake with the relative humidity of 80+% - just went to mush and got on the leave. Started SLT on one of the 3 plants, which in hindsight was a week too early. Managed to get a 100W grow light and set up that in side. Weather is terrible and the long range (10 day) forecast looks more of the same - high winds and heavy rain. LOL Might need to change the title of this growth from outdoor Autos to indoor...

Fed liquid Blood and Bone (NPK 11-5-7) again this week. Plants seem to be really responding to it. They are growing and developing well. Spend most of the week inside, under a 100W grow light. The rain and resulting high humidity, meant the soil was overly wet. Using SLT on 1 plant out of 3. Pleased with its form and looking forward to see how the laterals grow. First sign of flower! 1st official week of flower starts next week - very excited
