Sure it can grow. But remember glass will help block UV rays out. Only know this because I’ve had monkeys and I was told that letting them sit at a window won’t help them. They need direct light.
I maybe wrong, but it seems like that is how it works.
I think you are right. Because that section of the house has all double glazed glass etc. I am sure it is to block UV so we don’t die when we lounge there. Lol but these girls need otherwise. Is it true that I will need somewhere where it gets direct sunlight eg. Open yard and not somewhere there is roofing and the sun light is only hitting from the side.
Double pane windows actually help keep the heat and colder temperatures regulated in a house aka keeps it from being wasted.
My sister’s house is single pane so it’s not cheap running the AC.
One thing you could try if you you can open a window and place the plant where the sunlight comes into that room. That is better than letting it sit behind glass.
It doesn’t hurt to try. I was going to say if you have a privacy fence up, you could take the plant outside for sunlight. We get a crap load of light in Southern Texas but it’s illegal so mine has to be grown indoors.
Also I forgot to add long as the plant isn’t detectable outside + privacy fence = a happy plant. But that presents a whole bunch of other problems you could have to deal with.
Illegal too here. But we are in a rural area with neighbour house few metres or perhaps 1 km away from us. So planning to just put it in somewhere in the front yard. Unless the cow and the sheep accross the paddock dob us in.
So I am planning to just to the seedling indoor. Maybe get a LED light then move it outdoor (in a pot) that way we can still control the weather. Weather in AU can be a bit harsh sometimes so need to move them indoor if the weather is not good.
A friend of mine had 12 plants outside and only 2 made it to harvest. He said they was around 7 feet tall. Thanks to the excessive rain we got plus the deer and what not had to munch on the plants.
We get a lot of nasty weather when a Hurricane and or a Tropical Storm is in the Gulf of Mexico. If I could grow outdoor, I’m sure I would experience every problem you can growing outdoors. Our summers can be so dry insects and birds will eat any fruit and vegetable outdoors. Except for pepper plants and spicy forms of hot peppers.
When Hurricane Hugo made landfall fall 80 miles from us, we had 3 weeks of solid rain.
Man pot is legal here, Im not going to give advise to you with regard to risk, that would be bad. Do what you are comfortable with. I live in an area that historically has been a pot growing mecca and there is so much of it that the cops basically cant be bothered. Too much paperwork for a few plants. That was before the so called legalization?! Now they cant stop you unless its flagrant disrespect for the rules like growing a cield if pot next to a school yard.
Harden them off as soon as you can for outside, only one of mine suffered a bit on a 42 degree day (celsius) but I had also been messing with its roots the day before. Don’t blame it. They’re all alright minus some dried leaves I just picked off.
Having them in a greenhouse to start with helped them get enough light to establish themselves.
Ugh I feel so frustrated and wondering whether I should just put them all in soil. Except the flowering one… People say to go organic but I don’t know where to get organic soil, there’s only one place nearby and apparently that’s no good.
My plants are so small and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, seems like a bit of everything.
I’ve transplanted all but the flowering plant into a mix of osmocote “plus organic” veg and fruit, some coco and a little perlite. I can see the GSC auto already getting some more green colour back :).
Also started watering/feeding much heavier on the AK in flower as I think I swung the opposite way to under watering everything after killing seedlings due to over watering and damping off.
You may want to get some peat mix or some fine coco thats been washed. Promix makes nice peat based mixes and there are numerous coco manufacturers. With coco it is coconut fibre or husk that is chopped up really fine, it should look way finer than what you have in those photos. Very similar to peat pot stuff. Much of the plants you buy in the store or plant shops are grown in either of these two mix bases. Thats why plants bought in that wont live long, because it isnt soil. its a soiless mix and requires constant fertigation to be healthy. That said, what you have there is way too coarse in my books.
It’s a 50/50 coir and coir chips blend from Nutrifield. Helps with having an airy soil like perlite does. I mixed about a third in with the osmocote, so it’s mostly soil now.
Yes that one is a little yellow, the rest are fine. It is greening up especially around the edges in the new mix. I might add some blood & bone, just want to monitor it after the transplant before messing with things.
