Outside grow - Pineapple Express

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)

The plants are looking great and very pleased how they are progressing. Weather is still really poor - typical spring weather with heavily topical-style rain with high winds. Managed to keep these in a part of my broken glasshouse, so have not had be moved into the garage too often. Can see a difference of the extra sunlight against the Autos I'm also growing (separate diaries). Gave then a small amount of Compost tea - Worm castings + Humate + seaweed + molasses brewed for 24 hours. They are only in a bog standard potting mix. s. Work has started on their forever home - site nearly ready but need to see if this weather will settle down before they move, I will look to transplant into 4ltr pots next week if the weather doesn't improve - 10 day forecast

Growing strong, have not brought inside, so are should be harden. growing the 4th nodes. Gave them a compost tea, with a Nitrogen focus (Fish blood and bone / Seaweed / Humate / Worm castings / Molasses) Decided that I will re-pot them into 4 ltr pots, as the weather is very wild - strong Westerly (prevailing wind) and heavy down pours. I will delay their move to there forever home to see if the weather improves, we just had the 1st day of summer. Looking at the roots, I could of waited another week to re-pot them. Potting mix - had to make do with what I had on hand. I hope I haven't made it too hot! I applied a local mycorrhizal Fungi to the roots and hole. Soil mix Humate - 3ltrs Worm Castings - 4ltrs Seedling mix - 5ltrs Perlite - 4ltrs Amendments: Cup of Blood and Bone 2 cups of a organic Boom mix (2-8-4)

Plants have taken off after the repot. Weather here has been descripted as the worst start top summer for 20+ years. Constant rain - RH 80+% and lowish temps of 20-22C. I found a bargain on line, some stoner was selling his indoor grow set up. So picked up 1 450W1 and 100W lights and two tents 4x4 and 2 x2 plus a crap load of equipment for NZD$1000 ($600USD). Set up the 100W light inside to give the plants a better indoor experience. Fed a small amount of liquid blood and bone (NKP 11-5-7) @800 ppm. Made a big mistake by trying to spread Diatomaceous earth to manage some insects but it got wet and on the leave s- cluster F

Plants are growing well, putting some height on and good lateral branch development. Watering been troublesome; inside and with a RH of 80+%, they slow down and ended up with them sitting with wet feet. Weekly fed of liquid blood and bone (NPK 11-5-7). Still spending a lot of time under a 100W grow light. Its too wet to plant them outside and the 10 day weather forecast looks shit Decided to top them, to slow growth and keep my options of moving into a inside grow if required.
