Maine outdoor 2024

5/21 Plants are doing great! Seedlings too. I'll transplant them soon. Looking back on my orher diaries it's close to when I started in previous years. I need to harden them off and make sure the light has enough hours. I need to clean my bags too. Soil is bought and stored. Looking forward to this year! Pics are not uploading. 5/22 Watered but didn't do a note. Medical emergency. 5/23 Medical emergency kept me from the plants but when I went over at 9. Seedlings need transplant and are getting huge. Pretty sure they are all autos. The other plants are doing amazing. The GMO I topped is doing great. The one I fimmed has four nice new tops! These had been lsted before I obtained them so on some bottom branches are almost to the top of the plant. I need to harden them, clean the cage and transplant. I moved the little pallets to make room for another large one. I'm going to start hardening today or tomorrow. 5/24 Seedlings are getting huge. I gave them a shot glass of water today. I'm not on my phone so I can't upload the pictures. One looks like it's growing like a male but I'm pretty sure these are feminized autos. Due to medical issues with my wife I haven't been able to get things out as quickly as I wanted. I have a plan for tomorrow morning to wash and sanitize my bags, spray my cage with whatever kills those damn ear wigs and i'm going to start hardening off my clones. I usually start by bringing them in the shade and sometimes I add a little additional lighting to make up for the difference. I had been decreasing the light schedule to ready them for the schedule outside. I'm not there yet. I think i'm still giving 17 hours of light which is less than outside. It will take me a will to prepare the bags and mix the soil anyway. I have a few odds and ends but then we are off! Luckily I have tomorrow and Sunday to devote to the garden. I'm hoping I can get enough done that my plants can be outside for the nice weather of next week. It feels like this is going to be a good year. I'm excited. I'll upload pictures when I get my phone back.....if I do. 5/25 I didn't watercthis morningcto try to stay on schedule. I had also messed upa few days ago and switched my timer to "outlet" because I arrived early in the morning (5am) and the lights hadn't come on lol. Didn't seem to hurt them much. I watered everything but the sherb pie and I didn't give much to the toasted toffy as it seemed to have a LITTLE bit of moisture. I split a gaterade bottle between the event horizons. They drink far more water. I gave less to the toasted toffy as it seemed to have a little moisture. I used like gaterade bottle and a third for the 4 gmo's. Cleaned my cage today. Got all the junk out of my grow area (except trellis and bamboo). Only thing left is my 50 gallon pot. I washed all my grow bags and scrubbed the shit out if them before soaking for 45 minutes in dawn and h2o2. I'm planning to transplant the seedling tomorrow. I'm readying my soil where I harden the plants but the are still sheltered. I may continue with supplemental lighting. I'm proud of my self but I'm tired as hell. 5/26 Plants were in the garage (as you can see from pictures) and spent from 8am to 1pm outside in the shade. Intuition on point told me to go check them. Camera was hard to tell due to the shade. It wasnt the LIGHT but it was 84° in the car! It dropped to 70 something after driving. Luckily I got there in time and minimal if any stress. My best biggest gmo wad a LITTLE droopy. I could just tell the wanted back inside. It's going to take a little longer to harden these off. The seedlings that were in the windowsill got transplanted into 1 gals today. The remainder of the 72 seedlings I started with. I think they're all autos but one seems to "LOOK" like it's growing like a male. I'll monitor. Got sick of waiting for the video and other pics so I shut the wifi
