The Skunk#1's live outside now in my secret mini greenhouse hidden behind a thick vine.

I was balancing on a ladder when I took this. It looks like the one on the right has no leaves but its because of the reflection off the plastic.

Aww they're so cute and sssooo much potential watto

 

Good start mate, I like the little stealth greenhouse, I need something like that for my vegie seedlings.

 

Will they be maturing outside or is that growbox a lot bigger than it looks?

Best of luck with em

Looks like u are off to a good start there watto.

Well done and grow hard...

Nah that box is small as, it had a coffeemaker in it. I have another larger spot behind the vine where I put last seasons grow heres some pics

 

Just a normal vine right? look closer............

Ive been renovating the growsite today, I camouflaged it some more and put in a plank of wood raised up half a meter on some bricks, so they get more sun. I also mixed up 4 pots of soil with heaps of goodies in, organic potting mix, vermiculite and perlite, horse shit, dynamic lifter, water storing granuals, lime and some compost.

 

Next I'm gunna set up this reticulation system that feeds off the neighbours bore thats on a timer and a valve off the hot water system thats hidden under bushes and shit so I can run an underground hose off it. Both will go into a raised bucket which I can put nutrients in, which will then go down smaller pipes to the plants.

 

This way I will only have to either turn the water heater valve, which dumps cold water, or when the bore clicks on just climb up and tip some nutes into the bucket, instead of having to mix it up, then climb a ladder with a heavy load of water and try to hand water them.

I wet another couple of PPxWS and one sprouted, so all up I'll have 5 plants all up if everything goes well.

 

I put this old car sunshade with a green garbage bag stuck on one side along the lattice that holds up the vine, this should give it heaps more sun, stop people seeing through the vine and stop the vine strangling my plants (like last time)

 

The reticulation system is almost finished, I still have to run an underground hose from the water heater and put a filter on the feeder line, but apart from that it all seems to work well, each pot gets a similar amount of water as long as all the lines are all at the same level.

 

I moved the seedlings out of their little greenhouse, I just hope they don't get fucked over by this storm forecast for tonight.

The new WSxPP is lookin a bit weird, It's leaves are a bit curled up and its really dark green compared to the others. They are getting a lot of sun as you can see by the picture, also I think the flash mighta been on.

Transplanted them today, didn't go particularly well but they will live, probably stop growin for a week or so though.

 

[watto]

Somethings seriously wrong with at least 2 of the plants, after the transplant 2 of them started getting brown spots on the lower leaves and now one of them has only 2 little top leaves because the lower ones have gone brown and died and the other one is heading the same direction

 

The other 2 that got transplanted are looking yellow, the lower leaves have lost all green and look really bad, but no sign of brown spots.

 

Could this be severe transplant shock? I did a really terrible job of transplanting them, as I had to lean over the hedge on a ladder in a very difficult position, the root balls broke up with 2 of them (possibly the 2 that are dying fastest now, I cant remember) and they had to be held up by garden wire for a while.

 

 

Unfortunately I lent my camera to someone while they're on holiday so I cant do pictures, hopefully I'll get it back before it's too late.

 

I still have a backup PPxWS that isn't transplanted yet, which I'm leaving till it's root ball is really strong so I don't have the same problem.

 

Ive been giving them a really weak all purpose nutrient (Ag-Grow) once a week and they have been getting enough water and sun lately so I don't think any of that is the problem, what do you guys reckon?
