Hi guys,
So, I'm attempting to grow some autoflowering seeds this time. I bought 3 seeds - Northern Dragon Fuel - & the company threw in a free Glueberry OG seed.
They were germinated in tissue paper, then transferred to separate pots 12 days ago & look like this at the moment...

I could've started a few weeks earlier but was out of town every now & then so I waited until late June. Then, typically for North West Europe, we had some crappy weather for 10 days so they haven't caught much strong sunlight.
They're on a south-facing windowsill, getting the sun from around 10am until 4pm. I'm also taking them onto our balcony around the back for a couple of hours of evening sun &, providing the forecast is good, I'm leaving them out over night so they get the first 90 minutes of sunlight, before the direct sunlight disappears around the side of our building.
So general thought & questions...
● They're a little small but we have 2 weeks of good weather coming so I'm hoping they'll pick up over the next few days.
● I was planning on topping them but they'll be grown in tall, narrow windowsills so maybe I should let them grow tall instead?
Each plant will be transplanted to 11 litre pots - 2 per window.
● I'm fully prepared for white fly, aphids & scales (which were a BIG problem first time around as I didn't know what they were & left them until it was almost too late). I have some gentle & harmless pesticide in a spray gun.
● I'll be using supermarket soil, but it's labelled as organic & peat free, for herbs & small plants. I also have a large bottle of Bio-Bizz for nutrients.
Any comments & tips would be very useful. It's good to be back![Smile :) :)](/styles/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Oh, it's now legal to grow here & I'm on a 3rd floor, away from curious eyes.
