Week 5: The little ladies have moved into new digs (except the runt. She still resides in her little red solo. Her next home will be the 10 gallon potting bags.
DP1,4 and 5 have all been moved to 6 inch potting containers with new potting mix. I know Miracle Grow potting mix isn't great. But it's what is available in the sticks. I started seeing some yellowing in the leaves of 1 and 4. I decided they were nutrient hungry because the cotykedons had shriveled and fallen off.
The DP's forever home will eventually be a 25 gal potting bag. Plenty of room for those roots to stretch! Im expecting a good size plant. I'm not going for height. But with the growth capability, topping and training should be fruitful.
If you look at the photo, you can see the progression of size the plants will go through, ending in the 25 gal bags.
With the new containers and dirt, watering had increased to about 260mL per pot. Runt is still getting 60mL.
I will be trying something. 4 plants = 2 trellis and 2 tie down methods. All 4 will get topped. Lets see what happens!
Marigolds update: they went through a touch of shock moving to their forever homes. But I think they are coming back around. Keep close to find out what color they come up!
-Keep growing and stay mindful. ✌️
