2025 Outdoor Grow…. Shaking off the cobwebs

WhiteLotus Hey y’all, Figured I try my hand at growing again. Haven’t done anything since 2021. Growing in zone 9a. Hoping these summer temps aren’t too harsh on the plants. Ended up going with Humboldt Seed company’s Cali Sour Diesel for genetics. I’ve never been big into genetics but figured id put some money into it this time around. Had success in my 2021 outdoor grow. They were some MONSTERS! Grew 3 plants and they were all over 8ft tall. This time, not looking for size but rather quality. Trying to go all organic inputs, staying away from bottled nutes. I’ve done a bit of research in KNF and using a few tricks from their trade. Alright y’all, let’s get the details of the grow now: Seeds were put in filtered dechlorinated water on 3/29/25 and soaked for 16h. They were then placed into a paper towel to germinate on 3/30/25. I placed a heating Matt under the tray to help with root zone temps. Within two days, all 3 seeds had sprouted tap roots. They were planted into containers on 4/1/25. Lights are on a 15on/9off cycle to mimic the amount of sunlight we are getting. All 3 Cali Sour Diesel (CSD) seeds have sprouted through the soil. I’m growing some other plants for my garden. I have some Roma tomatoes, cayenne peppers, basil, catnip (for my cats 😊), and dill.
