[jimmywhonz]

Hey guys and

 

 

Just become a member , and what are great site it is full of very good info , ,,, (wish i found it 2 months ago ) anyways started my first grow end of november for a number reasons the main being price and avalibility of weed in perth ,,, A friend of mine gave me some seeds That i literally chucked into a pot with a frangipanni and forgot about it ,,,, 2 weeks later i had 35 little seedlings That i cut down to about 8 ,, and tranfered them into a small pot and left for another week or so ,, I gave 6 away and kept the best looking 2 I then transplated the 2 into a 60l bin ,,, with organic potting mix , worm castings, mushroom mulch , blood and bone .. I have been feeding them seasol , worm juice out of worm farm , and of course straight h20 ,,They seem to be going ok , although i have put shade cloth around pot , as they seemed to be struggling in the hot weather (direct sunlight ) ...They get at least 8 hours full sun aday .....ok some questions answered would be great appreciated ,,,    

 

Thoughts on using shadecloth ???

My soil mix (anygood) ???

Are they looking healthy for a 2 month old plant (small, big , not bushy enough etc > as i have no idea what they are surposed to look like at this age

My biggest one is 500mm high

Direct hot sun ,, anyone else experienced plants that struggle ??

 

Fertilzer,, what to use , when , or keep organic ???

 

I apololigize for the rant in all the bloody questions   ,, any help appreciated

 

cheers     

 

ps will take some better pics tonite ...

Id shade just the pot so the rootball doesn't heat up, the plant itself can take full sun and thrive very well. If your plant struggles in the heat its usually because the rootball gets hot not the actual plant itself.
