Week goes by trucking along...I started leaving them out at night, as it doesn't get below 45. On Wednesday we had a strong breeze that blew over one of the seedlings; I couldn't get her to stand up with toothpicks or anything, so I just re-potted her in a 3-gallon smart pot and used dirt to cover about 2/3 up her stem so she'd be stable. By Saturday morning she was popping off, happy and leaving the other girls behind; I figured I'd just give them all the same treatment. So this morning, started throwing in 3 fists of soil, 1 of perlite, 1 of worm castings, repeat until full, so roughly 60/20/20 soil/perlite/worm castings. Eventually they'll get too big for the 3 gallons pots and I'll pot them into the ground (or maybe just into 7 gallon pots and leave them on my deck).
It's still cool in the mornings, so we get a nice cover of dew every morning - that tends to keep the girls watered enough give their size relative to the pot. Altogether an effortless grow so far. Clean country living!
@Thatsmyfirsttime, thanks! We try to grow as much of our stuff as possible and be self-sufficient. I try organic stuff out here and there (my autoflowers I used a living soil ammendment), but for the most part I think ferts are a scam. Coffee grounds, ground egg shells, earthworm castings, and left over fruit and veggie scraps. That's all I think you need to grow big, beautiful organic plants.
Runt's dry weight: 151g. It's curing now in a couple of paper grocery bags. I also harvested the traditional manifold, like the next day after Runt, so she's trimmed and dried as well: 137g; she's also in a couple of grocery bags.
