Season 1 2025 Hambrug Outdoor

Lewinge I really didn't doo anything after germination. The plants started to get really lanky which is due to the lack of direct sunlight but I think that it wasn't really a problem overall.

Lewinge The Plants grew further but only got longer over time. This was when ChatGPT recommended that I should put a mirror made from aluminum foil and cardbord behind the plants to reflect more of the sunlight back on the plant. I might be crazy but I think that this has helped a lot and I really recommend this. I assume that it enables the plant to pick up 15-30% more light than without and its a way cheaper and more elegant way than buying a grow light in my opinion.

Lewinge The Plants grew verry helathy, still quite lanky but also getting bigger leafes. At the end of week 3 I added a teaspoon of coffe grounds to each pot to give the plant a bit of nutrients in this early stage of growth. The Plants slowly began to outgrow this setup and the third pair of leafes started to form so the next step was to get them outside. At this point I started to put the plants outside for 5-9 hours a day if I had time to do so and the weather allowed it. I did this to prepare the plants for the colder temperature and the wind outside.

Lewinge The big move happened. I mixed a custom substrate due to budget reasons an me not wanting to order soil online. This consisted of 50L of compost that my freinds gave to me, around 10L of kaulin to airate the soil and another 80L of cheap gardening soil from the hardware store. This cost me around 18€ for all the soil I needed to fill up five 27L grow bags. I also added a bit more coffe grounds for good measure. I then set all my plants in their new bags mooved the lables and watered them. Important to say is that i set the plants deeper in the ground than they were before. I set them so that their first germination leaves barely showed through the soil. I did this because they were so lanky and Chat and a freind of mine told me this would be good against wind and the further stability of the plant. They handled the transition quite well and started to grow stronger and larger around three to four days after the moove.

Lewinge With a pretty warm week and a lot of sun the plants really grew a lot in this week. There were some cold nights that week but the plants really didn't seem to care. Since Transitioning to larger pots I water them 2-4 times a week depending on the soil moisture. I give each plant around 2 liters of water untill it spills out on the side of the bag.

Lewinge The plants are now growing at a quite unsetteling speed I am really happy about their development and ordered Hesi TNT Complex and Flower Complex. I started to use TNT Complex this week with half of the recomended amount and the plants seem to handle it verry well. I can't really say how much of the growth is due to the fertilizer but whatever I am doing it works quite well.

Lewinge The plants seem to handle the Fertilizer verry well and I used the full recommended dosage of 50ml/10L this week. The aphids are not getting more and that is all I care about. The plants are now growing at crazy speeds and seem to use up the Fertilizer verry well. They are also beginning to bloom and I think I might swith to my Hesi Bloom Complex for next weeks fertilization.
