Good afternoon ladies and gents !Well I set off on my first UK outdoor grow this season and it's going pretty well (I hope
) after a rocky startHere they are as of now (approx 5 weeks from germ) .. they had been transplanted into new growing medium due to problems with the old mix when they first sprouted.. which I think has affected the growth rate slightly whilst they get used to this new stuff. Anyhow the weather over here up north is absolute rubbish and even worse.. so unpredictable... they have maybe had about 1.5 weeks worth of nice sunshine and the rest has either been overcast cloudy or mixed weather..!!
Most of the plants in the picture below will be transplanted into the forest in designated areas of the same compost and all the other protective necessities .. the others will be planted in larger pots and will enjoy their life in the garden (lucky sods !!) I am far from having green fingers to say the least but do you think its a good time to plant out now? also if you look at the second picture should I bury the plant up to the first set of spiked leaves past the little round shell leaves? the wind up north can be a problem and it seems sometimes they are finding it difficult in 10mph + winds
Just to add quickly I have noticed only in the last 48 hours little brown spots appearing on some leaves which I believe to be a sign of nutrient deficiency... the compost states theres enough nutrient to support plants at about 8 weeks... do you think using a low concentration 1/4 or even 1/8 mix of fertilizer and misting on the leaves may help?
All the best and thanks for reading !!!
