Hi All,
Never ever tried to grow but tomatoes, chilis and kitchen herbs in a greenhouse. Due to Corona i decided to give it a CNNBS try but on a budget! Been reading and watching You-tube for a couple of weeks, info is overwhelming, also when checking some forums (Fora) regulars like to bash on newbies or each other so i decided not to ask questions or comment cause of the bad vibes. Did know sh*t, so i just started with no expectations and maybe i should change the title above in " The Trial & Error Way or Rinse Repeat" lol.
April 25/4 = first attempt using a propagator = 3 out of 5
11/5 = Coffee filter methode = 2 out of 2 (Frisian & Silver)
13/5 = Coffee filter = 3 out of 7 (Huismerk Wietzaadjes.nl) are crap!
02/6 = Coffee filter = 6 out of 6 (Green House Seeds) Wow
Conclusion:
-Do buy good seeds, use Coffee filter, hang in dry, dark and warm area, leave them alone, let nature decide!
-After germinating do not overwater, plant deep enough so helmets wear off in a transparant half liter pot or in smallest 1l Air-pot so one can c the roots,
-When seeing roots reaching bottom = transplant in final pot.
-Give enough light/Sun so they don't stretch.
Hi All,
We got a lot of Sun end of April & May.
-Silver (SH1) & Frisians (FR1-2) are in Cups growing fast in front of the window or even outside, i used diy poles to protect against the wind, next time i
will use cut in half plastic bottles to slide over the seedlings.
-Silver (SH3) & Frisian Duck (FR2) got the same regime.
-The 3 out of 7 Auto's from sh*t company Wietzaadjes.nl that came out are also getting the same regime.
-Made a DIY growbox so ladies are sleeping indoor under a light at night, they got at least 18h of light.
Remarks:
-Use a timer to automate light schedule.
-Do not fiddle with your plants, accidents happen!
-Don't overwater.
-Paint black pots white in order to avoid cooking the roots.
-Be patient.
Week 3:
SH 1 & FR1-2 are getting bigger fast will transplant next week
Auto's from = slow grow: They come from Wietzaadjes.nl, will tell this sad story later on.
H2 - FR 3 got broken stems due to have added hydro pebbles on the surface, wind scratched the stems against the pebbles so it weakend & broke/bend.
Tried to rescue them with tape/support - after 10 days only SH2 survived.
6 Green House seeds are 8 days old, Franco Lemon Cheese (FLC), Holy Punch (HP), 2x Super Lemon Haze (SLH1-SLH2) & King Kush (KK1-KK2) are growing faster in outdoor light than LED in the growbox.
