Outdoor Germany 24 - Northrine Westfalia

—— Week 4——- —- Day 22 —- Finally it was a summer day. 29 Celsius, a lot of sunshine. Didn’t water them soil is still moist! —- Day 23 —- Finally another summer day. 30 Celsius, a lot of sunshine too!! Didn’t water them soil is still moist! —- Day 24 —- And another summer day WOW!!!! Finally a strike .. 31 Celsius, they exploded the last three days and got their pistons. As far as I can tell they are all females :) Didn’t water them still the soil is moist!!! But thinking about feeding them the first Nutritions tomorrow :) Uploaded finally new pictures, bounded them again and new to the bamboo sticks. Today greater bamboo sticks arrived which I will attach tomorrow!! :) The girls started smelling !! Hmmmmm :-) —- Day 25 —- Hot hot summer day 35 Celsius, the girls exploded!!!!!! Thought I would have time to attach new bamboo sticks but from sudden it began to be stormy with clouds and even thunders!!! It began to rain too… Hopefully they will survive… What they all survived so far is insane… How can I dare to kill them when it will be time to harvest :( —- Day 26 —- It was a cloudy but warm day, but it began horrifying with a lot of rain. Now it’s dry and will stay hopefully dry two days! Applied neem oil today to all plants, 2mL diluted in 1L of water. Sprayed them all covered (upper and down side of the leaves, stem and the above soil). Went with yellow stickers too, why not? Hopefully they will do well with the neem oil. I don’t rly like the smell of it but don’t either hate it. Let’s see if I can get rid of those sucking little creatures -.-* ….. Will apply it as mentioned from Mastergrowers, this week three times and not again. Let’s hope the best for the girls .. They don’t look happy today after the stormy night and the rainfalls, but guess every plant has some down days right? —- Day 27 —- It was a warm day, 60-70% humidity, about 25 Celsius. Didn’t water them. In the morning I already saw they looked much happier after I sprayed the neem oil! All leaves where standing upright. Insane how they recovered! —- Day 28 —- Forecast is telling some slightly rain in the morning, afterwards the whole day will be about 25 Celsius….. Since they are growing I only watered them once due to the rainfalls etc. Have to make sure that I bind them today to bigger and new bamboo sticks, didn’t had time so far.. As I can tell in the morning now from a first look they exploded!!!!! I wonder if I should water them with nutritions? Didn’t gave them so far anything. They don’t show signs of missing nutritions or nutrition lockout. So it should be a sign that the drainage works well as I think… But gonna look to give them at least some nutritions if possible and needed. But as mentioned there is some lechuza pond down in the soil, maybe this is already enough? I think yes…. The forecast tells rain every 3 days now for nearly two weeks in a row.. Dang! Did everything I mentioned in the morning and dang I snapped two leaves off (one on each plant) one was the first branch the other the last, hopefully it will heal okayish! I will redesign my binding of the plants at the weekend, I bought the pot with the original „holder“ that you can bind plants to it. Last time I used wired, it cutted some leaves through the wind and was even “choking” one plant, lesson learned! They got a second coat of neem oil today. Last time I will spray it in two days! The yellow traps caught a lot of curious insects, doing the job well I guess!
