First time trying to grow myself, and wanted to see if it can be done extremely casually. Not expecting much, just having fun and trying to learn. The experiment is trying to grow organic outdoors in zone 8b (Denmark). Whenever possible, I aim to mostly use stuff I already have/use each season for new plants and herbs inside/outside. No artificial lights, only organic nutes and tap water. I started germinating my first batch of mixed seeds mid April. I knew it would probably be too early, but I wanted to do 2 starting dates and learn from the early seeds to improve. Germinated and planted 11 seeds in a domed seedbox in the windowsill. Kept humidity 60-70%, while temperatures varied depending on sun exposure. PH should be ~6. In the windowsill they currently get ~8 hours of sun. They will get more when I am able to move them outside. I have fabric pots for the next round, but the first batch of seeds is just for learning. After 1 week (PICTURE 1) I planted 1 of each strain in degradable containers and put the containers in soil in pots. Left 1 of each seed in the seedbox removing the lid. After 3-4 days when the transplants acclimatized, I started taking them outside in the sun for 1-2 hours a day. Not sure if the sun was too strong or the weather too cold (around 15-17 Celsius in the shade), but they reacted very poorly and crumbled up, so I gave up on those. 2 weeks after germinating, I have now transplanted the rest from the seedbox to pots, buried most of the stem due to stretching and now keeping them in the windowsill

When should I start introducing the plants to the outside during the day (max 15-20 celcius currently) - or are they still too fragile?

Hello friend , I took them outside from week 3 onwards when they were strong enough , temperatures ranged between 8-25 day and night and they turned out fine . The ruderalis gene really makes them resistant . Also , protect them from strong winds and you should be ok

It is starting to flower, It might still stretch a bit but not a whole lot. Autos can be stressed into early flower by a lot of factors like over fertilization or HST, They seem to be more prone to reactions to the root zone aka no transplants. They can also do this all on their own and sometimes veg for 7 weeks before going into flower and at that point it would be better to just grow a photoperiod. One note on transplants some can do it so gently that they do not react, It just easier to not do it and avoid any potentinal messup. Maybe try photoperiods next or a different strain of auto that can take a bit more abuse. I had descent sized plants with FastBuds mexcian airlines outdoors one year. I even accidentally topped it once and it worked out well. I was not a fan of the buds profile, taste, high, looks, but i am picky and do not like crazy high THC strains. Other I gave it to did like it. to each their own. Good Luck!

Don’t worry, I’ve given up on this plant. But I’m wondering what the black stuff is around the top? Thanks

Anthocyanins, is a flavonoid that are found in cannabis, they are the resson buds turn purple color. Some strains produce more Anthocyanins than others. Looks like your plant is going to be a purple plant. I hope this helps.
