A little bit of an update, and a few questions.

I’ve transferred them from their seedling pots into larger ones, two rocket pots and just a standard pot. I’ve got another two sized rocket pots to later transfer them into, from memory they will go from this 8L pot to 18L the final sizes is around 56L.

I’m hoping to get them outside in the next two weeks. We are getting a few days around 25 but then minimums of 8 degrees other nights. Is this still too cold for them?

 

Another question, I was doing some research and read about a mainlining technique which I would love to try. My main question is, is it too advanced for a beginner to attempt? I know you have to basically strip the stem back to the third node and then chop the top off it and leave two main growth tips to expand out and then follow the same process on those two new growth tips once they have developed enough. Are there any issues/possibly complications I should be aware of when attempting this?

Hi guys, need some help here please!

Not sure if I’m being paranoid or not but are these little guys deficient in something? Their colour looks a little different, I think. Or I could be paranoid hahaha

Please help/advise!
