Hello fellow cannabis farmers.
With the start of summer a few days ago, I decided to transplant this loveley lady from a 10 gallon Smart Pot to a 20 gallon Vivosun flexible planter and switch from black to tan, due to the summer heat. Hard to beat the price of 5 for $25.
This was started indoors under a 400W CMH and went outdoors when I flipped the lights on my hydro tent on March 30th.
I've been watering close to 2 gallons daily for the last 1.5 weeks due to the heat and pending drought here in SW Ohio. Coming home after work would see her drooping from water needs after sitting in the sun at 95F.
This morning was the first rain we've had here in over 2 weeks. A welcome sight and sound.
Hopefully, the extra space and lighter color will reduce the water demand. Also decided to mulch the top with some stump grindings from a 24" black maple we ground down last year to lessen water loss. Using a 24" saucer beneath as well for bottom watering and retention.
This is a LC Soilless mix (Promix BX, perlite, EWC, dolomite lime, blood meal, bone meal, greensand and a touch of Osmokote (pink container) for some additional slow release nutes.
Threw the 10 gallon container on a 14" diameter log on top of a lazy susan and stripped off the old pot. She was rooted into the bottom pretty well, Had to get the wifeypoo to help with the pick and repot.
Should be a beast once we flower.
I've started a weekly bT foliar application and have a bottle of Spinosad on hand to keep those pesky caterpillars at bay.
The daily deer in the yard aren't interested in her but I still put some deer scram around the perimeter.
