Inside and Out

Hi To All

I broke down and decided to share - this is a new adventure for me as well...

My seeds came and I read and read and asked questions from family and friends, the thought to myself, "Let's try this for once to see what happens".

I planted 2 Raspberry Cough and 1 BlackJack - didn't want to germinate like everyone else suggests (I have grown outdoors since 1973) so I do have experience, this is an EXPERIMENT!

I just plopped the seeds into the Soiltabs that came with my seed order, placed them into my 5 gal buckets, made sure water was high enough to cover 1/2 way up, and left light on 18 hours. Ths water would make my Soiltabs "lean" somewhat, so I filled a nylon sack with washed gravel and used that to prop my babies straight up. I only need 3 plants at any one time, so with my 400 watt, spare bathtub, understanding wife, this is my start...
OK, 1 week is how long it took for the starters to appear to what you see...

I have 15 years behind me growing outdoors in Arizona and the problems associated with this heat - but threw 1 outside just because I can and also to compare with... my experiment!

Root growth - 2nd week...

******************
Just shy of 1 month - they have virtually turned into shrubs with very little vertical growth.



and of coarse, how is my outside experiment doing (since we just had 114 degree day)?

Secondaries growing in now while heigth had slowed, still watering once a day in morning... likes that schedule.
