The two seeds popped after a few days and the seedlings look very vigorous. Really strong stems already and they grow fast. I needed to help one of them out of her seed shell, but after that she quickly opened her leafs towards the light ๐ฑโ๏ธ๐
I'm using an airpot and a 11L geotextile pot for this round. They are not the same height, but I fixed this by supporting the 11L geotextile pot. Because of the higher pots I need to do some LST later on as this strain can grow up to 135cm. So far so good!
โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ Mid-week update
I had an infestation of black flies in the GTools the last few days. It's my own fault though. I mostly buy Plagron soil but in this case I had a sack of Organic vegetable garden soil and I thought, hey let's use this, what can go wrong ๐? Well, the soil was loaded with black fly eggs apparently and they seemed to like the climate in the GTools just fine. Since the larvae eat form the plant's roots these need to be dealt with quickly. I started out with a few fly traps, but after these turned black in a few days I needed to call for reinforcements. The Hypoaspis mite is an excellent way to decimate pests like black flies, eating the larvae in the soil, while the parents get trapped in the fly traps. When I checked this morning, almost all flies had gone ๐
