Week 2: Moving the Twins Outside
After a slow start, I decided to move the twins outside and plant them together in a 5-gallon pot. Space is limited, and with how slowly they’ve been growing, they’re not getting their own pots this time.
I’ve had slow starters before, and they don’t usually yield much, so I’m keeping my expectations low. Since these two have been particularly slow, they’re sharing a single outdoor pot. The medium I used is a mix of 50% coco, 30% soil, and 20% perlite—this should provide good drainage and aeration.
I used Great White from Plant Revolution during the transplant. The taproots on both seedlings were barely visible, which made me nervous—especially with autos, since they can be sensitive to transplanting. But it had to be done.
Now, they’re settling into their new outdoor setup, and I’ll be watching closely to see how they respond.
Current Setup:
Medium: 50% coco, 30% soil, 20% perlite (now in a 5-gallon outdoor pot)
Transplant: Used Great White when transplanting
Taproots: Barely visible on both seedlings
Lights: Moved outdoors
Nutrients: Biobizz Fish Mix for now; Big Plant Science later if needed
