Frisian Dew X DucksFoot

RobertoCavalli First days germinating in coconut pads in the propagator. Under 24 hours of light, 28 watt fluorescent. Too moist in my opinion and not enough light, small leaf and long thin sprout. Transplanted into Mediterranean potting soil in perforated cardboard pots, about 300ml, and they are out from under the lamp and going into as much natural sunlight as possible from now on.

RobertoCavalli Transplanted in Plagron batmix in 4 x an Airpot, with the stem still 5 cm in the ground. They stay outside all day except in the rain, no nutrients. One has died, but the other 4 should be fine now.

RobertoCavalli Removed the bottom of the pot and partially buried it in the ground, still hesitating to start feeding, they're starting to grow bigger each day now.

RobertoCavalli Growing well, I'm quite satisfied. One got nibbled by a bird, but it's bouncing back.

RobertoCavalli Finally starting to become little bushes, one remains small. And one that was pecked by a bird is supported by sticks, next year I'll plant more seeds and let the best ones stay.

RobertoCavalli The stakes set up for support are shooting up now, there's a big difference between the biggest and the smallest. The smallest from last week has caught up with the one that had a damaged stem. The one with the damaged stem seems to be turning into a small compact bush.

RobertoCavalli The smallest are catching up, the one with the chewed stem seems to be recovering. The biggest is growing like crazy. Still without nutrients.

RobertoCavalli Started feeding Plagron 100% TERRA according to the schedule.

RobertoCavalli still using Plagron 100% TERRA according to the schedule. They are now starting to make side branches everywhere, very satisfied. Swapping the smaller support sticks for larger ones, now getting half a liter per plant in warm weather and a quarter in wet weather, the rest they get from the soil.

RobertoCavalli The ladies are growing well, 2 of them are now 180 cm and have already gone over the fence. Due to the bad weather, there is some leaf damage and I had to support a branch. Give nutrients in dry weather, nothing in wet weather.
