Hi all,
First post and first time grower to boot. In the UK and trying my hand with feminized seeds I've had in the fridge for months (Cinnamon - maybe not best choice but all I could get / afford at the time). Very limited resources, virtually non-existent setup. Will just see what happens.
Planted four seeds in soil in 4" pots, all popped and now 1 1/2 weeks old, about 5" and healthy (my avatar is actual pic). Each has two pairs of large leaves, with lots of little leaves protruding from main cluster. Unfortunately the stems stretched a little, but I sussed out why (too far from light source during the night) and sorted, so only stretched below cotyls, no stretching between nodes. They are outside all day every day in sun (long may it last), and breeze is toughening up the stems, although they are still pretty thin and leaning a lot.
Am thinking of transplanting soon, and when I do I'll bury them almost up to the armpits as I've seen recommended on this board. That will obviously stop the leaning, and should help to thicken up the stems and produce bigger root balls if I've understood correctly.
Am interested if any UK growers are nurturing their ladies outdoors and, if so, what strains work well, how long for flowering, when ready for harvest and are yields any way decent? Any advice appreciated - great to be part of this excellent resource
