The Girls Go Outside: Week 4 Garden Update
The big girls get evicted to the great outdoors, while the babies stay inside where itâs safe.
1. The Roll Call: Whoâs Moving and Whoâs Staying?
-
The Week 5 Photoperiods (9 lb. Hammer
, Bubba Kush, 2 Blood Moon Gelato
, Blueberry Muffin
, Blue Dream (fast), Cinderella 99, Ghost OG
). They have official âadult stemsâ now. They are being planted in the wild today. -
The Week 3 Autoflowers (The Toddlers): They were started late and are still way too small to survive the real world. They are staying in daycare for now until they grow some bigger roots. Autos are: Northern Lights, Girl Scout Cookie
, Grape Ape
, Banana Purple Punch
.
2. Spa Day & Haircuts
Before sending the big girls out to the elements, they got a little pampering:
-
A Lilâ Trim: Cut off the messy bottom leaves. Itâs basically a bikini wax for plantsâkeeps the dirt off their leaves and stops bugs from using them as a ladder.
-
A Nice Mist: Spritzed them down with some good old-fashioned well water to keep them cool while they look at the actual sun.
3. The Hydro-Juice Formula
We mixed up a batch of water using our mad-scientist hydroponic recipe. Itâs normally for the main hydro systems, but the pots get a treat today.
The Ingredients:
-
Cal-Mag: So they donât get a calcium deficiency and start complaining.
-
FloraMicro, FloraGro, & FloraBloom: The classic âgrow big and strongâ soup.
-
FloraNectar (FruitnFusion): Sugar and carbs. Basically, a sugary energy drink for the dirt microbes.
-
pH Down: Because the water needs to stop being so basic.
The 3 are what we added today.
The Lab Results (What the Meter Said):
-
pH: 6.38 (Perfect. Not too sour, not too sweet.)
-
Temp: 72°F (Room temp. Nobody likes a cold shower.)
-
PPM: 544 / EC: 1091 (A solid, hearty breakfast for a 5-week-old plant.)
-
4. Todayâs To-Do List
-
Go to the store to buy more garden supplies and spend way too much money.
-
Dig some holes and officially transplant the photoperiod girls.
-
Drench them in the 544 PPM special-sauce juice so they donât throw a tantrum from the transplant shock.
-
Leave the week 3 autos alone until they stop looking like toddlers.
