MindFlowers68 Getting some summer auto flowers going now that my indoor auto flowers are about ready. This is my second year trying outdoor. Just gonna try this single auto flower around outside for now, so I don't spread myself too thin trying to take care of too many plants like last year. I'm using the same 30 gallon pots. They were sitting in my greenhouse over winter. I took the brew grounds from one of my compost teas and worked it into the top few inches of soil, And watered in with leftover compost tea about a month ago. A few days before sowing the seeds, I pulled the pots up on the deck and amend them with what you see in the picture along with Gaia green 4-4-4. Did 2 cups of the all purpose,1 cup of neem meal, and a handful Diatomaceous earth. Then just sprinkles of the other stuff.
It was very hot with no rain in full sun all week to the path straight up pretty quick. I had to water every day, but a few days after they germinated, we got a quick rainfall. Seedlings were met with very intense light from the very beginning and dealing with it very well.
I was worried for this little seed for a day or so because for some reason, these little tiny ants looked like they were eating the cotyledon leaves. She looked rough for a few days, but she bounced back and is on track. I'm just glad I'm not gonna be another week behind on another seed with another round like I was with my indoor right now.

MindFlowers68 So glad the Big Jack is doing better now. I was a little worried it wasent going to make it from the ants messing with it. I love that my runt of this round is called Big Jack. I'm rooting for the underdog here! Ganja farmers autos have been really good for the most part.
The outdoor autos are doing really good this week. I averaged out the temps and humidity. There were some hot days this week consecutively and dry conditions in the lower 90s. I was up early, watering them before the sun came up and they got some boogie brew tea. Later in the week, I had time to get my vegetables planted, and each of the autos got some security guard friends since they have pretty big pots anyway. Each pot got a marigold, dill, basil and marjoram I started from seed in my gorilla tent. I have a lot of pepper plants and other stuff around so I think they should do very well. I made sure to plant the companion plants more on the north side of the fabric pads so that they don't shade the cannabis. My deck is south east facing so it gets sun most of the day with a mid-day break from the sun under the shade of my big silver maple. I have them positioned so they get some of the first rays in the morning and some of the last rays of the sun setting.

MindFlowers68 The outdoor autoflowers were graced with rain twice this week. It's amazing what real rain does for the plants. The other plants out on my deck are looking equally as happy from it. I gave them a little bit of my tea, I was feeding my bigger plants, but they mostly fend for themselves the entire week. I stopped in a few times a day and look and take some pictures and see what's happening, but not much I can really do for them right now, but just let them do their thing. I did get to the farm supply store today and got some nice mulch and other stuff. I'm going to mix hardwood, pine, bark nuggets, pine straw in a little bit of Cedar. Might as well have some fun and mix stuff. I could be boring and use just one Mulch, or I could pretend I'm mimicking nature and use five different mulches together and probably won't make much difference but. I was surprised to see the cedar mulch has a nice networking mycelium growing in it.

MindFlowers68 Summer is in full swing now and no rain at all this week. Daytime high temps averaged 86°F. I was out watering every other day in the morning around 2 gallons each time. They also got some compost tea mid week. The plants are showing maturity and stretch double in size. I have a feeling they are going .to start flowering this next week. Going to have several days in the triple digits temperature next week and no rain. It's good for the foliage, though not getting wet. The leaves are looking really good and vibrantly healthy.
