The forecast delivered, eventually 😁 After two weeks of cold, grey, the sun finally showed up properly toward the end of the week. Temperatures pushing 19°C, real light, the kind that actually does something. About time!! The plants are small for their age, a week ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​more or less lost to cold and low light. That’s outdoor growing though, you take what the weather gives you… 7 to 8 cm above the substrate at J21, stems still pretty thin, third node just starting to push through. I may also have started nutrients a bit late. They never looked deficient, leaves were just sitting at a light green, which at that age could simply be normal. But with a substrate this low in nutrients, almost inert really, I probably could have introduced Bio Vega a bit earlier than I did. First feeds with Bio Vega this week at 1.2 ml/L, with Rhizotonic at 2 ml/L. Mid week I also threw some azos at 1 tbsp/10l, figured it couldn’t hurt to give them a little extra love. It’s a root stimulator, helps with nutrient uptake too, so why not. On the last day I bumped Bio Vega up to 2.25 ml/L, following the fastbuds feeding schedule. Being organic, the burn risk stays low even at that dose, so worth pushing it. The Skunk is sitting above a layer of BatMix though, so I’ll keep a closer eye on her as the roots start reaching down. By J21 the leaves seemed a shade deeper than the pale green of the previous week. Could be the feeding starting to land, could just be the plant finding its feet. Probably both. We’ll stay on this dose and see. The deadline is July 16th. That’s not a lot of runway. But the 10 day forecast is showing a lot of sunshine and highs around 30°C. If there was ever a moment for these three babies to wake up and start moving, this is it ! ​​
