Ok so the sprouts were not looking so great, so I transplanted three of them (the runts) into the 2x4 no-till, and they perked up nicely over the weekend. (Well, 2/3 perked up anyway.)
I was hoping the remaining 4 might recover, but they persisted in their decline. So I transplanted them into nursery pots, to see if more root space would be helpful. Eventually into 30gal, moved outdoors and slicing off the bottoms. Oh yea, I also forgot to label my strains during transplant so it will be a dank mystery this fall.
The difference between my cannabis plants (below, left) and the tomatoes, tomatillos and peppers is disheartening. I mean, yay we will have lots of tomatoes, but I also want lots of cannabis. :/
The tray that my cannabis plants shared (below, second from right) also has tomatoes, tomatillos and peppers that are not looking great. I believe it is a question of soil composition, as I let my wife do the soil blocking and I think they are a bit dense, lacking aeration. That or over/under watering.
I additionally soil blocked three more seeds today, two cookies and cream and one other rando, all NASC freebies (below). Just putting a few eggs into different baskets so that I make sure that I get an outdoor harvest. (Domed, with heat mat.)
And finally, everything in my grow space (my wife has a few trays of ranonculus and other flowers in another, less controlled grow space):
I had to order another
HLG rspec 100 (to supplement the current
spiderfarmer 100w) in order to finish out vegetative time in my lung room for all the vegetables and cannabis. Transplants take up space!
