Rosscopico's 1st outdoor grow

[rosscopico0]

Thanks Grasshopper,

 

I repotted them into larger containers today, the mix was 50/50 peat/perlite. I just gave them a feed of miraclegrow to hold them until I get some guano, kelp & castings. Im a bit worried whats gonna happen when they flower

 

Once I repotted them I tied them down pretty hard to keep them under the fence.

 

What sort of NPK ratios should I be using for the tea during solid veg, they are a decent size.

I have read anything from 2-1-1 to 20-10-10

 

Pls help!!

hey rosscopico0, lookin good man.

 

I don't know much about NPK ratios, but I do know that 2:1:1 is the same ratio as 20:10:10.

 

Hope that helped

Hey Naycha,

My problem lies in 20-10-10 being 10 times stronger than 2-1-1. Although they are they same ratio to each other, its the ratio of the nutes to the water that concerns me.

Dont wanna burn them!!

 

Anyway here is a couple of pics today. One is 3 times the size of the other, I just hope its not a male after all the work I have put into it!!

Here are some canopy pics taken today. This canopy is made of 2 plants. It is a metre at its longest point & about 60cm wide at its widest point.

I just made my first tea in a 4 litre bucket with a airstone & small pump.

 

In 3 litres of water I used :-

-1 cup worm castings 1-0-0

-1 TBSP of Bat Guano 10-2-1

-1 TBSP Molasses (average 1-0-5)

 

I didnt use kelp this time around as I could only find the expensive liquified stuff, Ill keep looking for kelp meal.

 

Total NPK 12-2-6.

 

I plan to let it steep for about 24 hours, the dilute it (not sure by how much???) then foliar spray to my whole garden.

 

I read somewhere that worm casting tea is good for getting rid of fungus, as I have a bit of fungus on my beans & dont want it to spread.

[rosscopico0]

I diluted 1/3 cup of the tea in 1.5 litres of water & foliar fed the garden.

 

Heres the plants looking wet & bedraggled

Here is an update pic....

Lookin good Rossco, bit of bondage..

 

With the beans, if its a powdery fungus, maybe consider a milk spray. (full milk powder mixed )

 

I don't grow hydrangea, good cover colour there atm. Do they harbour mites? If so, better spray her too

 

Best for the rest

Heres a couple of pics of the plants with the "tomatoes" on them.

 

Not to ruin ur idea but they going to wonder why u ai'nt picked those tomatoes hehehe

[rosscopico0]

Hey guys,

 

The Hydrangea just happened to be growing in the back yard & was providing a bit of cover, same as the roses. To my eye the plants stand out, however in pics they just blend in. Maybe I need to smoke less weed.

 

I removed the "tomatoes" as they made the plants stand out, however they will most likely be making an appearance at harvest time.
