Outdoor Aus 2024

I decided to pop a few extra as some will be given away to friends. The first run of Velvet Moon never sprouted, along with 1 of the Gorilla Breath. I had some 'random fem' seeds that were included so popped 4 of those too, only 3 came up. From left to right there are now sprouted, 3 Random, 4 Gorilla Breath, 2 Velvet Moon, 3 Gorilla Zkittlez and 3 London Mint Cake. As these were popped 5 days apart, there is a difference in growth however the second round seem to be doing a lot better. I believe the dilution of Sea Kelp was too strong on the first run and has stunted them. You can see a visible difference in colour with the first run being a lighter shade of green. I am not too worried as this can be fixed down the line. I have fed 1 feed of Sea Kelp yesterday diluted at 1ml/L. They seem to be doing alright. For the next week, I plan to water with a light mix of Root Roids by Dr. Greenthumbs every second day and they will be left outside.

So this is a catch up of the last 2 weeks. I went away for a few days and was worried about slugs and pests as we had a run of bad weather forecasted. Before I left I decided to spray them with pyrethrum and put slug baits out. I sprayed on an overcast day at about 1pm. Came back 2 days later to hell. Plants were shrivelled and burnt. Back in the humidity dome with some calmag amd they’ve come back. Bit of a stunt again. Treating these ladies quite badly. Rookie learning the process I guess.
