I’m starting a new thread as my original one didn’t go to plan. My Durban poison autos got stunted by the unexpected frost so I’ve had to scrap them.

My Moby dick autos are growing very nicely and and I also have one girl scout cookies auto seedling.

I’m using a canna coco potting mix with some perlite and compost.
The bottles are acting as mini greenhouse covers for the night time and rainy days. I remove them every morning so the plants can get some fresh air and wind.

I’ve also planted a few tomato seedlings in as a method hiding the plants. As they grow together.

Growing nicely. Just got some 25 litre air pruning pots for them

 

[Benjamin93]

I’ve just set up my grow tent in the garden and put the plants inside.
I put the tomato seedlings in their own pots as I realised they would take up nutrients from the soil.
I’ll be growing the tomorrow and some peppers in the same tent to hide the other plants.
I also open the tent for a few hours to allow air flow.
The wall is south facing so the plants get sunlight for 12 hours each day.

Growing very nicely. The warmth in the tent seems to be helping them.

Everyone loves their tomatoes, but they will quickly begin to compete with the auto plants for nutrients and light. The roots don't grow as well and the plant will grow slower as it gets older. I would recommend keeping the two out of bed together, and maybe getting the tomatoes a bunk of their own to enjoy and stretch their feet! Plants LOVE to be warm, to a degree. Plants with warm roots grow much faster, as long as the temps don't get too high. 75f would be OK, but I'm not certain about temps above that.

Yeah I’ve separated them now. Just gonna have loads of tomatoes and peppers growing in the same tent for the vet stage.
Shouldn’t get much hotter than that but it is nice a warm in there which is gonna do allot for the root development

 

[Benjamin93]

Even more growth, really starting to take off now. Think I’d like to get them in the air pruning pots soon

I usually plant my seedlings directly into their permanent homes (5 or 6 gallon buckets) instead of transplanting, but whatever works best for you, then go with it! Everything is looking good and healthy, although I saw 1 spot on one lobe of one leaf... better add cal-mag and a bunch of nutes!
Sorry for the smart ass comment!! You appear to be doing a great job, keep up the great work!

 

[Benjamin93]

Growing very very fast now

 

[Benjamin93]

Repotting my tomato’s and hiding the autos behind them. Growing so fast in that greenhouse

 

[Benjamin93]

Growing fast. I can already smell them over the tomato’s

 

[Benjamin93]

My garden seems to have a pretty fertile flower bed. Thinking about putting the plants into the bed soon to finish them hidden amounts the flowers. I’ll have to choose the best spot for maximum sunlight exposure and they still need to be hidden from guests

 

[Benjamin93]

Plants have been moved to the spot near my house in the local park. Gonna go back in the night and plant them into the ground or get some bigger pots with compost.

 

[chemistry]

At least they will be well watered in. 🌧

 

[Benjamin93]

Just ordered some more air pruning pots for the 2 outdoor autos. Gonna get up early on saturday to report them.

Haha true! Really need to get them potted up

 

[skh]

I gotta watch this. Good luck. I hope we get a good summer.

 

[Benjamin93]

Just checked up on them and they are doing fine. Will be going back tonight to cut back the brambles and take a few Moreno plants down to the spot.
Its right in the middle of a city in a public park but the surrounding brambles make it impossible to find unless you enjoy trailing through that stuff.

Yeah can’t wait to harvest: gonna use whatever I get to make butter. My mum wants to try edible cannabis for her back pain.
Summer should be ok, wish the rain would piss off
