Day 7 June 13
June 13 - 09.30AM Went outside, temperature low 70's. Misting periodically to increase humidity. Pink Stemmed plant seems to have corrected itself, however will bend today during search for sunlight.
June 13 - 11.40AM Topped up soil in a couple of pots - as peat pellet was showing. Temperature 70F in the shade.
June 13 - 02.15PM Wrapped bright coloured towel around black pots for when direct sunlight reaches black plastic. City temperature 81F. Shade (Plant locatoin) temperature 71F.
June 13 - 03.15PM Outside temperature 83F, Plant location 73F. Direct sunlight approaches.
June 13 - 07.00PM Plant Location Temp at 80F
June 14 - 09.30AM Put outside. Temps 74F. Another appears to have germinated.
June 14 - 01.00PM Watering each to runoff. Oldest plant is bent over due to wind. Buried soil at stem.
June 14 - 03.00PM Watered each 250ml (ran out of water). Likely not enough and water was hot - perhaps the roots will burn.
June 15 - 10.30AM Left in tent for 20hrs, will keep in tent for the next day as I'll be out of town. 6th plant germinated, though was upside down in peat pellet (due to wind knocking it from tray last night). Unsure if it'll survive, but I up-potted with living soil regardless. I'll check in a day or two and re-use soil if it dies.
June 15 - 10.30AM Oldest plant leaves are downward (perhaps overwatered).
June 16 - 01.30PM Watered third oldest plant to runoff as top soil was drier than I'd like (as pictured). All other pots are in mosit soil. Oldest plants leaves have perked up again after watering. 3 finger leaves appearing. Latest germinated seedling is upright. Will bring outside tomorrow after 2 days in the tent.
June 16 - 07.00PM Put outside - temperature is 80F. Likely too hot, but for only a few hours it should be okay.
June 17 - 09.30AM Put outside - hot day forecast today (80F+), so will bring them in before they get too hot. Watered 3 plants with dry topsoil to runoff at 6.3PH. Leaves are drooping after water, and maybe from being outside. Temps are low 70F with okay humidity of 70% outside. All stems are no longer pink.
June 17 - 06.00PM Moved to shade, temperature 87F. I'll move inside until it cools down. Moved inside at 6.15PM.
June 18 - 05.00AM Put outside, temp 73F Humidity at 75%
June 18 - 02.45PM I'll need to bring inside - Temperature is 79F.
June 18 - 03.00PM Brought inside - Temperature was 81F.
June 18 - 07.45PM Perking up nicely indoor. Relative Humidity is low at 60%
June 19 - 08.00AM Unfortunately delayed moving outside a couple of hours. Temperature is 76F with Humidity at 65%
June 19 - 11.30AM Brought back inside - temperature 81F outside.
June 19 - 03.30PM One pot had dry surface but only top millimeter. Perhaps this small layer of dry soil is due to small potsize. Just speculation.
June 19 - 08.15PM Oldest plants are Perking up nicely in tent.
June 20 - 03.45PM Put inside, Temperature at 80F. Noticing gnats, so cut up sticky strips for more coverage over moist soil. 2 plants are close to needing water Either late this evening or first thing in the morning.
@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 ๐ณ)
happy growing๐
@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
