Outdoor Automatics

Alex_mir_doch That went faster than expected. Not even a week later, they're going out to the garden 50km away, and the babies will be placed in the 20l final pots along with the jiffy. At first, they'll still be in the greenhouse with the tomatoes because it's still quite chilly. Since the garden is so far away, I can only check on them on the weekends. In the meantime, they're on their own.

Alex_mir_doch Since the ladies will be standing among the strawberries in the future, I've already set up a drip irrigation system there. For now, the watering with the liter bottles easily lasts a week, but that will change soon. But until then, they'll stay in the greenhouse.

Alex_mir_doch not much has changed, that's why there's only one photo. unfortunately in landscape format, which is why the edges are automatically cut off. I really need to get into the habit of taking photos in portrait format.

Alex_mir_doch now it's getting stressful. down with apical dominance! the green clip on the strawberry gorilla will turn out to be a mistake. I rotated the pictures 90° so they can be fully displayed. from now on, there will also be nutrients in the bottles.

Alex_mir_doch the stress isn't getting any less. when I wanted to remove this ver🤬ten green clip on strawberry gorilla, it broke off above the first set of leaves.

Alex_mir_doch 10 days later. 📸1: papaya cookies 📸2: orange sherbet 📸3: cherry cola 📸4: strawberry gorilla 📸5: family photo 📸6: June bug 👋 flowering week 1/2 since the papaya cookies and the cherry cola are a bit further along than the orange sherbet and strawberry gorilla I'm tapering off the grow nutrients and adding bloom nutrients now. By chance, I picked up a few other additives at the small gardener fair in Berlin.

I'm curious to see what this stuff can do. I defoliated a bit more. I noticed a bud with mold on the cherry cola. I removed the whole branch. better safe than sorry. it's not a big loss. unfortunately, the mold was to be expected after seven days of rainy weather. luckily, it wasn't much.

I briefly considered moving the plants into the greenhouse with the tomatoes to protect them from the rain. however, the conditions there are even better for mold with 100% humidity. at least the other plants in the garden are doing well.
