This was a near fatal week. I put the new 300W LED up and a fan in the closet that I am growing out of (this is at a friends house as well so I am not in constant proximity with the plants). At some point in the beginning of the week, the fan fell over and began blowing directly on the seedlings. Luckily I caught it within a day of this happening but even then, the blown over stems looked thin, brown, and sickly. When I found the plants I also realized that the outdoor soil I was using was not tilled well enough and the plants were having a tough time securing strong roots in the soil. I decided to stop being neglectful and made the risky decision of getting new topsoil and transplanting the babies in actual cups. When I was transplanting I was literally putting young damaged taproots with no rootball or soil protection straight into new potting soil (do not do this lol). By the end of the week, 5/6 seedlings had survived and were growing again. 😛
When an IBL has undergone outcrossing indoor. Can it really be called a landrace. It has never seen any land at all ! I'm confused. Need someone to enlighten.
