This is outdoor growing forum So yeah im doing it outdoor

growing medium is perlite 15% potting mix 55% and my own compost 35%

I feed them just half strength nutes every couple of days they get fed water about 3 times a day.

Soil had a handful of dynamic lifter per pot to begin with.

After the torrential rain we had in the last few days its grown quite a bit main colar is forming Should be another 4 weeks you think ?

Hey Vandle, no idea what to expect from them but they are looking good. I would guess more than 4 weeks to go but just wait and see.

 

Watering 3 times a day seems a lot to me but in saying that they don't look like they are suffering from over watering either.

hey Naycha thanks for stopping by. All i really hope to achieve is to get some nice flavours to try

Looking good man just a couple of tips At 5 weeks you should be hitting them with full strength nutes by now.  Watering 3 times a day is a little too kind, once/twice a day is enough for autos in soil. Also let the pots dry out a little between feedings and make them search for their next feed as you don't want them to get lazy!

Thanks for the heads up i have since scaled back watering, when i said 3 times a day its only like 500ml each time

Could someone explain to me what is full strengh nutes ? Im using Miracle grow i think it has 15% nitrogen

2. lightly tapped the measuring spoon until it was level right at 1 tsp for every added tsp to the same gallon of water.

i usualy run 1500 ppm  fert, and water till at least %30 runs out the pot, so it gets flushed somewhat each watering, and i also flush with water each week also
