Epsilon F1 Outdoor Finland 61°N guerrilla grow

70sguerrilla The nights have been cold, finally there will be a week of warm air mass and the nights will warm up for at least a week. Planting in approx. 20 cm planting holes in a raised flower bed with chicken poop seaweed fertilizer on the bottom and new flower soil on top. A bit of old hay as a bark cover and watering at the end.

70sguerrilla A week after planting, the plants have suffered from drought. The bugs have eaten some leaves from the plants. A deer or Capricorn had walked over from the bench and trampled next to one of the plants, exposing the roots, its leaves were pale. The length of the day has continued, a week ago it was 17h 30min. now already 18 hours. Not a drop of rain has fallen.

70sguerrilla The length of the day is now 18h 30min. It has only rained a little on one day during the week.

70sguerrilla Until now, the weather has been sunny and warmer than usual, but rainless and dry. Now the temperatures will drop below usual for a week, and there will also be rainier weather than usual. The plants have tripled their size in the 8 days since the last visit. The length of the day is now 19 hours.

70sguerrilla From the bench in the first picture, some animal has dug up the middle plant from the ground. From the bench in the second picture, the animal has dug up the plant on the right. I suspect Raccoon dog. Maybe burying the fertilizer battery below the planting site wasn't a good idea after all. It has rained a lot and the weather has been cold for 8 days. In the environment, the saplings of deciduous trees have acquired a purple color in the tops as a result of the cold weather. Forecasts now promise warming possibly over 20°C during the day and maybe 13°C at night. The rains should also decrease. The length of the day is 19h 22min. The sun starts to be high in the sky and shines for a long time, so evaporation is also abundant when the rays just reach the ground layer.

70sguerrilla The summer solstice is today, the length of the day is 19h 30min. Everything looks excellent so far, the plant's growing season is starting to be halfway through. Planting pits filled with horse manure compost.

70sguerrilla The weather will warm up again, daytime temperatures may exceed 30°C for the next two days and tropical nights are possible. The length of the day is 19h 25min.

70sguerrilla A lot of defoliation because the flowers are starting to thicken and it will rain for several days. Day length 19h 10min. Plant lengths 50-75cm, but the ground level has risen 5-10 cm after filling the planting hole with horse manure compost.

70sguerrilla There was mold on the bud at the end of one branch, that plant left with me to dry.

70sguerrilla It has been rainy, warm and the humidity is high, so bud rot is starting to appear in dense buds. greener and healthier individuals get another week.
