Kushycat Giving up is not an option!
24 hours in Bio Tabs Seed Plug + water then transplanted into a mixture of coffee grounds + soil + vermiculite.
Lessgo 😉
23.07.20258 Looks like one seed isn't germinating.
Probably my own fault, as I didn't notice that the water had leaked out.
The shell is open, but nothing else is happening. I'll give it another chance, otherwise unfortunately RIP.

26.07.2025 Today we're going outside.
It won't be a long vegetative phase. Let's see how big they'll get.

Kushycat Location changed.
It's been raining all the time, so I made them a little roof. They're still very small and fragile mice.
Then they won't be so cold at night.

Kushycat Summer is back! 🌞
They are growing happily and seem to be doing well. 🚀
I think they will only remain vegetarian for a few more days due to the length of the days and nights. 🍀
I cut some lemon balm, lavender, curry plant, and various other herbs, dried them, and placed them on the soil to repel pests, etc.

Kushycat I removed the lower shoots, otherwise everything is fine so far.
They received a small dose of BioBizz worm humus, which unfortunately is not listed here.
I realized that I am overwatering (see photoperiodic plants report). 💧
It looks like it will be a while before they start flowering.
That's good for me, as hopefully they will gain some height before the stretch begins.
I sowed them very late for photoperiod plants, so maybe they will treat themselves to a bit more veg.
Does anyone have experience with such late outdoor sowing of photoperiod plants?
Thanks for the tip about silicate, @SouthGermanGrowGirl

Kushycat Unfortunately, I found aphids... 😿
I sprayed them with Canna Cure and hope that will kill them. Otherwise, there are no real signs of flowering yet.
But it should start soon, I'm excited.
Today, I added nematodes to the watering can so that no more pesky guests will appear until harvest time.

Kushycat So far, so good, but unfortunately no real flowers to be seen yet.
Pre-flowering is definitely already underway and the first filaments will surely appear in a few days.
Unfortunately, I found a few aphids and sprayed them again with Cann Cure.
I removed the lower leaves and buds and fertilized a little, as usual.
In addition, they have received their first dose of RQS Bloom, which unfortunately is not listed here.

Kushycat They have hardly grown at all, just a little bit in width, but otherwise they finally seem to be flowering.
Well, if you count on another 6-8 weeks from now, mold or something else is bound to happen.
I will probably order my indoor setup in the next few days and then put them in the tent.
I know that it's not easy to bring plants in from outside because of the risk of insects, etc., but at least I could harvest a little something to make some delicious butter or something.
I got rid of the aphids with Cannacure, but otherwise the weather is pretty bad. Lots of rain and storms last night and just too cold.

It's supposed to get a little warmer at the weekend, and I hope it stays that way for at least a few weeks.

Kushycat The weather is terrible. Much too cold and wet.
I water as needed with a slight runoff so that the mini flowers don't get moldy.
I also use flower fertilizer from RQS Nutrients 2ml/l, which unfortunately is still not listed.
Hello @James :P
I cut off the micro flowers and small leaves at the bottom.

The tomatoes from Garden Therapy Grow will be ready soon ^^

Kushycat They'll definitely be ready by Christmas
I sprayed Fungisan again to prevent rot, etc.
Now they have to stand for at least another 7 days.
Well, starting next week, it's supposed to be 5 degrees at night, so it'll be really difficult.

Kushycat They both have a strong will to survive. I hadn't watered them for almost a week and, to be honest, I've only checked on them briefly over the last few days. Yesterday, I sprayed them with CannaCure in preparation for bringing them indoors. Before they die outside, I'll take my chances.
CannaCure is a spray, but unfortunately you can only specify ml/L etc. here, so the amount I specified is incorrect.
I didn't feed them either, which I will do in a few days when I water them next as a final fertilizer application.
The flowers are small and can hardly withstand a little frost, but what can you expect after weeks of gray, bad weather?
I can't give a fair assessment because I started too late in the outdoor season.
I haven't weighed it. Unfortunately, I had to cut away some buds due to bud rot.

Kushycat Unfortunately, with seeds/micro seeds due to self-pollination. Therefore, it is used to make butter or delicious cakes!
@Kirsten, Thanks. Luckily, I discovered them early on and there were only a few. Still annoying, though, because something new keeps popping up this year.
@Comfrey, that's also for vegetables, and a few days after spraying, you can eat it, at least that's what it says in the instructions ^^
Waiting time: N (none) for ornamental plants; cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini: 3 days; lettuce: 14 days; potatoes: 7 days
It's been about 14 days since the photos, and since then it has rained and there's been morning dew, so I'm assuming that if I chop chop this weekend, everything will be fine. It's certainly not harmless, you're right about that, but using it 1-2 times preventively should be okay with some distance from the harvest. I just saw when I checked that there's another one that's only for vegetables and probably safer. Royal Queen Seeds has had one in the shop for a few weeks now that's organic. Let's see for next year then, or maybe we'll finally get a proper summer ^^
@India_Calcoen, i think they were supposed to turn yellow, but there was only one pepper on the bush. My gardening year was a complete disaster, just like my personal year. It didn't change color at all. I waited for weeks, but it just stayed purple. I ate it with grilled cheese, and at least it tasted good. I think it wanted to match the color of the gelato44 and that's why it stayed purple. Damn... I should have photographed the two together.
@India_Calcoen, A tomato plant that can sometimes be seen in the Apple Fritter Diary didn't grow at all at first. My sunflowers didn't want to grow properly either, and a few other mutants ^^
@India_Calcoen, haha, now you've really made me laug . To be honest, I had to have the word “carnivorous” translated because I didn't know it and English isn't my native language.
I really like the idea. Maybe we should try crossbreeding so that the plant can meet its nutritional needs through insects and at the same time get rid of annoying pests. Win-win-win situation.
@@LetsDiyGrow, because it's outdoor there are no lights and as I've read I started late so there aren't many hours of light during the day anymore. That's why it's small and already transitioning to flowering (photoperiodic), so unfortunately, there's not much growth left.
@Kirsten, yes, that's right. They're really nice (I think they like me too, after all, I'm already a greenfinger in the growers club), but of course there are lots of other great breeders/companies out there, and I'm not sponsored. Not yet, anyway... Hi @James 😹
@Kushycat, that could work! And you could also put something breathing around her, people sometimes also pack their tropical plants against frost with a plant cover..
@India_Calcoen, In itself, this is a logical conclusion, but it should be noted that high humidity will certainly form under the hood at such low temperatures, and you can imagine what will probably happen next. It's too risky for me, but thanks for the idea anyway.
What a shame, huh! 😔 My Honey Mints had only 4 seeds in it... A blessing in disguise, but it might also be due to the strain. I recently visited someone who also had the Bubblegum from RQS, and the terps were anything but bubblegum, more earthy. And there was also some hermaphroditism indoors. Keep your head up! 💪
@India_Calcoen, yes, and hardly anything is happening anymore. Well, no wonder. I'll take my chances. I sprayed them again today with fungicide from Neudorf. It seems to be working great. So far, I haven't seen any strange spots on the plants I sprayed with it for weeks. I'll try to get them through another 10 days and then use them for baking or something, depending on how they look.
I’m also thinking about buying a tent. I want to try growing cannabis without grey mould, caterpillars, mildew or aphids 😉 But my strategy would be to start very clean, take new soil, clean all the pots and equipment thoroughly and prevent any kind of contamination.
@India_Calcoen, lessssgoooo! Yes, that's what I normally thought too. But if the weather forecasts for the next few weeks are correct, it's better to risk bringing them indoors than to have to throw everything in the trash later because of bud rot.
Then clean and check everything thoroughly before starting again under controllable conditions for the first 100% Indoorgrow.
