June 20 - 04.00PM Sticky trap went across a few pots which bent stems. They've also been searching for sunlight on shaded balcony, but will straighten in tent overnight. 5-Finger leaves beginning to grow.
June 20 - 06.30PM Went outside again as Temperature dropped to 77.5F with high humidity. Checked soil and 2 pots are practically dry, will water now.
June 20 - 07.00PM Brought inside due to thunderstorm winds and dropping temperature.
June 20 - 07.50PM I suspect PLANT A is male after inspecting nodes and finding something I can't confirm is a calyx. I should know in the next few days though!
June 21 - 08.45AM Put outside - Temperature 72F. Humidity in the 80s.
June 21 - 04.10PM Outside temperature is 76F, Humidity is 65%
June 21 - 05.50PM Direct sunlight for an hour or so. Temp is 76F, but reads 80F in direct sun. Towels around black plastic pots to avoid heat stress to roots.
@2x2MedicineDude, My friend, thanks so much for your well wishes! I've got these babies inside overnight to ensure humidity + warmth, but want to keep them outside for their life once they've matured a little more.
Good luck with your grow! but seedling do not need support, she needs more soil..
evry thing under the 'lobe leaves'(the 2 round ones) in this stage is just root.
so put it under the soil as much as possible..then she will grow strong (just my advice 😳)
happy growing👍
@Hologram, Hi Friend!
Thanks so much for taking a look at my diary, and for sharing your advice - I really appreciate it! So when you say more soil - should cover the jiffy puck? I've also heard not to bury too deep to allow for more downward, vertical root growth. As for the support - this was only because it was SUPER windy outside and the seedling was almost bouncing off the soil with the gusts of wind haha. I'll remove and let the stem grow thick!! Thanks again for your support Hologram :D
