Greenhouse Grows

CalicoCatMom Slow going with this little seedling. After germinating on the kitchen counter, the seedling was moved to the greenhouse in the basement. It shares this space with tomatoes, peppers, herbs, strawberries, and a few tropical plants. The space isn't as specific as the grow tent, but I thought I'd give it a try to see how things turn out. I have another grow going in the grow tent currently, using the same type of soil for the final pot, but noticed what might be nutrient burn and wanted to avoid that as much as possible. I used a slightly bigger pot, and mixed Happy Frog and Ocean Forest blend from Fox Farms. Figured it was a happy in-between to help the seedling mature before transferring into the 7.5 gallon fabric pot. The grow is a bit slower than I would like, hopefully it perks up this week. I would like to see a few more leaves before I transfer the plant into it's forever home.

CalicoCatMom My little Pink Runtz has had a rough go. It's been stunted for a couple weeks but it's pushing out new leaves. I'm hoping this catches up to the other grow soon. Still about 2" tall, 48" from the light and PPFD of 250. Not a lot else going on in the greenhouse. Spent some time taking care of a spider mite issue with the hydroponic strawberries. Apparently the spidermites are loving those plants specifically despite my best efforts of keeping up with them. I wiped down a bunch of plants to be sure. I don't want mites on my cannabis, so this will be something I'll need to keep a close eye on.

CalicoCatMom This little plant is still trying. A couple weeks behind, likely because I transplanted too soon or too frequently. I was in an absolute panic when watching a video and the person questioned whether the nutrients would cause the seedlings to burn, so I backed off waiting for the plant to get a little bigger. Little did I realize I stunted the plant quite a bit. Although, it seems to have had a better week last week and hopefully will be on to grow better in the coming weeks. It also didn't help that the greenhouse was only getting 16hrs of light versus 18hrs that I needed - I found this out later after we were adjusting for daylight savings time. All of that to say, we're back on track and hopefully on to a healthy grow.
