My Balcony (failed)

Don't forget, if you're growing Autos, the next re-pot should be into the large pot you plan to finish with. The roots on Autos grow straight down first and further re-potting stages will stunt growth.

Success!

I would throw a few fems of whatever you want under your light, keep em short and put them out on the balcony around 14th June, should get a nice little smoke for around end of august, enjoy, gonna be an interesting thread

Interesting bit of info you have passed on there. I have grown Auto's before but in long NFT trays, so there was no transpalnting. I will be sure to investigate this further.

A small update - day 5?

Bag seeds are doing great, if only ever seedling grew like a bag seed the world would be a happier place.


60 day lemon wonder - day 3 or 4? - All i can say is really DNA??? So i have really great germination rates, so much so i cannot remember a bean that did not pop. Anyway one lemon is refusing to poke it wee head up and the two that have, well dwarf genetics are a certain. The seedlings are short, fat with dwarfed leaf growth and do not look happy at all..... I will be shocked if they get much further. Probably a blessing in disguise and i should get the auto lemon bubble instead

I like these bag seeds..... nice seedlings. if my spare room did not have 3.5kwhr of server equipment running i may have been tempted to chuck in a MH light in a tent. My meter only allows for 25amp, so i am running to close to my limit as it is.

possible small genetic disposition on the Cotyledon, small curl of the leave.










the 60 day lemon....




The purple & green basil

[elasticband]

Large amount of foliage growth and roots, potted up once and roots were finding there way into he coco laid out on the tray for moisture.

Again roots are stretching to find that moisture, very healthy root growth.

[elasticband]

day 15 I think. things are looking healthy and well, all apart from the 60 day lemon, only on of them remains.

some pictures over the last 10 days.


























Basil is coming along nicely -

One question,why the clay pellets?...you want to give the roots ALLthe room ya can...looks good,and...keep going I know you can do something

[elasticband]

better drainage. I use to do it in coco when growing in pots with recirculating hydro systems. figured i would also chuck em in me soil. old habbits you know

edit: I don't think i chucked any in the mix when i potted up to the larger pots. probably smoking to much at the time to remember if i did.

Looking good

[Padge247]

Nice one, have you moved from the CFL to the balcony for good now ?

[elasticband]

Nah.

9.00am - 13.30pm. in front room catching the sun through window.

13.30pm - 18-19.00 out back on balcony.

19.00 - 6.00am under CFl with a few hours darkness before returning to natural light.

Give it another week or so and they will mainly be outside.

[Padge247]

Ah I see fair enough. Even when you go full sunlight, will you have to move front to balcony on a daily basis ? Or will the balcony get enough sunlight on it's own ?

As the days get on a little bit i am hoping to be able to just lave them out the back, they will never get maximum sun penetration, maybe only about 6hours

Hoping to have them out back permanently within the next 4 weeks. Sunlight will never be ideal on a west facing balcony, but we can but try.
