Sowed 24 NL seeds outdoors, in a clear, terrarium like container a week ago. First sowed them in MiracleGro Organic Potting Soil. This soil was way too dense; didn't drain at all. It was mud, so two days later I carefully replaced the soil, lifting the seeds with a spoon, into regular MiracleGro potting soil. Today I found two had popped.
My hope was to have them in the holes I've already dug by next weekend. That's not going to happen, as I was too optimistic regarding the time needed to germinate. Right now, my estimate is they'll be in around the second week of June.
I know that'll impact yield, by I'm anticipating flowering to begin the first week of August, so they'll get nearly two months in veg. Also, the delay buys me a bit of time to prep holes and save $ for more soil and fencing.
Yesterday, dug 5 new holes in an area dense with wild blackberry bushes, and filled them with soil treated with composted horse manure.
That's it for now. Good luck everyone.
