Another week has passed, and not much has happened.
I decided to name this plant 'June' as I dropped the seed into the soil on June 1st, so it seemed appropriate. It also follows the name-theme of her predecessor, April.
I transplanted June into her final pot earlier in the week. It's a sub-irrigated planter with 5.7 liters of soil and a 2-liter water reservoir.
It may be small, but it fits precisely into the available space on the window ledge, so it's impossible to fit a larger pot.
I left the country for a few days and left June to settle into her new home. A few days later, upon return, I saw some burnt leaves, indicating the soil was too "hot" for such a young plant.
I was unsurprised as I previously amended the soil heavily with worm castings and insect frass. Considering the amount of soil, I wanted to squeeze in as many nutrients as possible.
I had hoped that she would be larger and more developed before the transplant and thus better able to handle the hot soil, but she remained small due to our lack of sun.
However, the weather has improved in the last few days, so let's hope it continues.
Fingers crossed π€π€
@kohlrabi, Thank you. My main concern is how much it'll smell, as Cheese cultivars are supposed to be stinky. I'm sure the neighbors will approve... lol
@Majinstatic, "only march, every month" - nailed the description of this "summer."
Oh well, no big deal, as this is a small project on my window sill to keep me busy during the summer, but it REALLY sucks for those counting on an outdoor harvest. I have seen so many pics of budrot lately :/
@JamMAKEcan, It's alright. The nanners hadn't time to fully form anyway. It was probably a last-ditch effort of the plant to continue life since she should have been harvested a couple of weeks ago.
That is an excellent strand. It will get stink towards the end. I grew a pre 90 budda cheese it was unreal.. Enjoy ur grow fam.πͺπͺπππͺππ
This is the first year in a long time , I didn't put out a fun pot out for the summer π mine always molded up no matter what so.... , love the project and hope you have a great grow bud π
@Tropicannibis_Todd, Awwwww, that's too bad. This is the first year I do outdoor. Well, I have done a couple of guerilla grows before but the is the first year I can do it out in the open as we went legal a few months ago :)
