Day 29-32: So after putting the plants outside(on day 28 for the 1 liters), it didn't even take 24 hours for pests to rush them! I discovered conolnizer winged aphids and also some normal black aphids! The plants were just transitioning to flower so they were crawling up in between the newly forming bud spots! Very nasty thought to smoke that much aphids! I didn't include any pics of the 1 liters because compared to the 3 liters they were showing the best signs of control after numerous sprays with neem oil/water mix at first and then a few days later followed by a water/alcohol mix. The water/alcohol mix seems to finally have done the trick on day 32! After giving them a real good dowsing and moving them to the windy side of the house they seem to be more or less pest free! Praise to the heavens!
Day 33-35: I check for new pests daily and pick off any i find, but it's been looking very promising so far! On day 34(thursday 06.06) we had a massive cold snap! Temperature dropped to 14 C after being 28 C the previous day lmao... And at night it dropped down to 11 C... My main run just started in te 10L airpots and they were on day 4 when they cold snap hit! Lmao they are being tested right off the bat! This Zkittlez didn't really seem to mind the heavy gusts of wind and cold snap too much. She drinks alot now! Well she is in a 1L pot so I'll have to water her almost every day soon... Ended the week off with a 24 degree day on friday again. But we're going to keep getting colder nights for a while... looks like another 2 weeks or so... Also started to feed with 1/4 strength bloom nutes! And holding off on the calmg until I see signs they need it now that they are in the sun!
Week 5 Summary: Put plants outside! Had pests within 24 hours! Sprayed with neem/water followed by Water/alcohol a few days later and it seems to have worked atleast for the 1 liter plants! Had a cold snap toward the end of the week and the future looks cold(at night) and rather wet as lots of thunderstorms are forecasted the next 2 weeks!
@CoastGrower,
That IS the experiment! Seeing what I can get from a small 1 Liter pot! These experiments are all free seeds I was sent! So not losing anything really!
