GrowerBaal The summer is coming and a new outdoor season can start. Last year was kinda shitty, mold over all at the end. Hope this year is will get better. I choose CSC as i hope this strains will be mold resistant. We will see.
In the beginning i water the seed for about 12h. Later i will fill a 4l plastic pot with Plagron Lightmix.
The seed stayed nearly 18h in the water. Did not find time before. As planned i felled a 4l pot with Plagron LightMix, watered a bit, added a coco plug and some Mycorrhiza in the middle of the top. Then i made a 1 cm deep hole and set the seed there. At the end i put a plastic dome over it.

Her second week started and she gives me some headaches as she now shows signs of light stress. I positioned her at the outer part of the lights. She had 6cm today and i gave her 50 ml of water with 23,2 degrees and 6,7 ph. I also erased the dome.
Day 9
Today she looked better than yesterday but still had 6 cm. No watering.
Day 10
She still has 6 cm. Did not water her.
Day 11
Since day 9 she showed signs of falling. Today she was near the soil, hope i will get her through.
Day 12
Today she looked a bit better and she is risen a bit.
Day 13
I think, she will get through. She got up again. Did not water her. Dont know exactly, when she will get transplanted, depends on the evolving.

I decided to transplant her today, as its very cloudy today and she can get used to the sun better than for example on weekend, when she will shine very powerful.
I digged a little hole in the prepared soil and filled it with 10l Plagron Royal mix and added some of the original soil. Then i transplanted her. As i forgot to do some Mycorrhiza into the hole, i later did some onto the soil and pushed in some hole i made with my finger, hope this works. At
the end i watered her with 2l of rainwater.
Day 16 - 7cm
It looks like the transplantation did not harm her that much. She had 7 cm today.
Day 17 - 8 cm
I would say she is doing fine and she had 8 cm today.
Day 18 - 9 cm
Today she had 9 cm and looked good. As the soil of the other plant had mold, i also covered the soil here with dry sand.
Day 19 - 10 cm
She had 10 cm height today. Maybe i ll water her tomorrow.
Day 20 - 11 cm
This morning i gave her 3l of rain water.
At noon i gave her additional 2,5l.
Like her sister she was a bit stressed by heat and sun. AT the evening she had 11 cm height.
Day 21 - 12 cm
She had 12 cm today. Erased some aphids.

GrowerBaal Day 22
When her fourth weeks started, she had 13 cm height. The heat of the last days stressed her a bit, but it will get more chilled the next days.
Day 23
Today she was at 14 cm height. I gave her 5l of rainwater.
Last night it got a bit cold and the temperature fall to 8 degrees.
Day 24
She had 15 cm today and looked fine.
Day 25
Today she had 17 cm. No watering. The brown spots seams to be larva of "Minierfliegen" or Agromyzidae as i could not find an English Name.
Day 26
She had 18 cm. It was cloudy today, no real sun and the temperature stayed at 23 degrees. It rained for half an hour but was humid the hole day.
I found out that the flies are called leave miner flies.
Lady bug larva against the aphids were brought out over the plant in the evening. Additionally some larva were done in a little paper bag and hung on one leave.
Day 27
Today she had 20 cm height. I will probably water her tomorrow.
Day 28
She had 23 cm height today. I gave her 6,5 l of rainwater.

Today i gave her 2l of rainwater which had 50% of the recommended tomato nutrition added. She had 52 cm this evening. I think she will start to flower soon.
@GrowerBaal, ich versuche es dieses Jahr mit einem kleinen Gewächshaus. Das war schon eine Schlepperei, bei jeder Schlechtwetterfront die Großen unter den Balkon zu bringen, vmtl. hatte ich nur deshalb gering Schimmel
@Growbody, Mache ich dieses Jahr auch so. Letztes Jahr hatte ich nur ne Photo im Gewächshaus und da schlug dann im Oktober der Mehltau zu. Und ja, alles über 30l ist echt so schön hin und her zu bewegen.
viel Glück bei deinem Projekt Growmie 😎
Habe auch seit einer Woche 3 Steckies von der Sticky Brocolli im Mini-Gewächshaus auf dem Balkon......
Bis jetzt halten sie allem Stand und sind auch schon ein gutes Stück gewachsen.....mal sehen 😉
@DrGruen, Möglich. Hab auch schon gelesen, dass nicht richtig ausgewaschene Töpfe auch nen Grund sein können. Sie hat sich nen bissl berappelt, schauen wir mal.
@Webacca, Danke, aber niedlich? Finde sie am Anfang immer eher etwas unförmig.😝 Aber das legt sich hoffentlich bald und sie wird eine gesunde und schöne Lady.
@GrowerBaal, neee, gar nicht unformig. Wenn die Keimblatter sich öffnen und die ersten winzig kleinen Händchen sich zeigen, das ist doch unendlich putzig. Nachher diese großen Büsche sind "einfach nur noch Pflanzen"
OK, das will man unterm Strich ja haben, aber niedlich sind die 🌱🌱 dennoch. 😁😍
