StoneyApple Pre-Veg 🌱 Indoor Greenhouse under 2× Sanlight Flex 10W. Let’s grow!

StoneyApple Planted into 6L pots and moved to the tent. Mars Hydro FC 4000 EVO @ 40%.

StoneyApple Great weather this week, so they spent some time outdoors and absolutely loved it. Growth was explosive, with more than double the size in just one week. Moved them back into the tent today due to the weather change. Next stop: their final 55L pots as soon as conditions improve. Unfortunately, I ran into some aphid issues this week. Gave the girls a thorough shower to wash off as many of the little invaders as possible, followed by a neem oil treatment. To strengthen the defense line, I also ordered some Chrysoperla carnea (green lacewing larvae) and Amblyseius californicus to help keep the pest population under control.

StoneyApple Today they moved into their final 55L pots. The nutrients in the 6L containers were starting to run low, so they’re looking a little grumpy right now, but they should bounce back in no time. They’re now in my own living soil mix, which should have more than enough nutrients to carry them through the rest of the season. They’re also back outside soaking up the sun. With a few cold nights ahead, I’ll bring them inside to keep them happy. The aphid issue seems to be under control for now. The beneficial insects have settled in well and are already doing a great job protecting their new territory.
