1st time grow + outdoor

Week 2 Day 8 So after doing a bit of research the best idea I found to keep the seedling stem straight was to cut open a straw and use that to support it. I did this for most of the seedlings just to keep them upright and to keep the broken one as straight as possible. But doing this I had to fiddle with the plant again and this didn't do it any justice. All the other seedlings are looking great though! Day 9 So I noticed the roots had started to pop out the end of the peat pellets so I decided to get their final homes ready. I'm using 7 gallon fabric pots with Biobizz all mix. I put the soil in the pots and gave them a little water, left them for a few hours and came back with the seedlings. I mixed up the soil as it looked like only the top got the water and then I cut off the net on the peat pellets as I've read that some people have had issues with the roots not being able to push through. I did this just as an extra precaution. Potted up the plants and filled up the soil a little higher on the stems so it had some support. Whilst I was putting the soil into the pots I realised that only 3 out of 5 bags of soil came. I decided to evenly share the soil into each pot. Really upset about this as the pots are now shallower than I wanted as I wanted the roots to grow as big as possible. Once the peat pellets were in, I gave the soil a little bit of water just around the middle where the peat pellets were as there was no point watering the whole pot as the roots were just in the middle. Day 10 Not much going on, growing well. I haven't been writing down how much water the plants have been getting, I've been watering slightly as the top of the soil drys out. I also haven't kept track on the temperature properly but they've been outdoors in the sun above 20 degrees celsius during the day. The day starts off around 13 degrees and peaks above 20 for most of the day and then back inside for the evenings and overnight. Day 11 The plants are still growing nice. I've just realised that I move them around so much it would've been nice to number the plants so I can have a log of how well each plant has grown. I will be eating as much ice cream as I can so I have some sticks to label and stick in the pot so we can see the growth of each plant. Day 12 I check on the plants regularly when I can and in the morning I noticed one of the leaves of 1 plant had a small hole through it. One of my worst fears are pests! Had a look over all of the plants and I had loads of little flies on them. Some were green and some were black. After doing my research it looks like they are Aphids as they were mainly under the leaves and from the colours. I brushed off all of the ones I could see and killed them. I will be keep and eye out regularly to make sure the plants don't have an infestation of these and to try and refrain from stressing the plants. More leaves are coming through on a couple of the plants! One looks like it hasn't grown much since but I will give it time. More pictures will be uploaded, I still haven't labeled each plant just yet though!
