New Grower Bubba Kush auto - greenhouse/outdoor

[Slowmo]

I've got a question.

As you may have noticed in my first post, I have a really small pot. That will result in a small plant, but that was kind of the idea. I need her to stay small. Yield will obviously be less than normal but I can live with that.

However, I will be away from home several times for about 4 days in the coming weeks and months. When she will grow bigger, she will obviously need more water and the soil in my little pot will dry out quite quickly I'm afraid.

I'm going to cover the top soil layer with sand. I've read that this way the soil dries out less quickly, but I'm afraid it won't be enough to prevent a lack of water once she's bigger and needs more water.
Four days is a long time when you're a thirsty plant.

She will be outside in the garden by that time, so when it rains during my absence, maybe she'll be able to make it without extra water.

But is there something I can do to prevent her from dying due to a lack of water in that small pot.

Maybe there is no solution and the pot is just to small and her days are already marked because of this, but I really hope there's a way.

In a weeks time she will drain that pot 2x times a day .. a 10l "with nice water retain" pot should be minimum for leaving for more than 2 days

I realise this will be a major problem... [emoji53]

Since she will have to spend her life outdoors in my garden, maybe I can put her in the ground pot 'n all since removing the pot and then putting her in the ground not recommended.

Do you think this could work?
The roots will grow outside of the pot bottom holes and get their water from the garden soil.

Or is this a ridiculous idea?

LOL, the more I think about it, the more desperate I get. [emoji23]

Ps. The first time I leave for 4 days is friday 2nd of june.

The best you can do is find a good spot outside and amend the soil a little and plant her there permanently .. then she can develop/grow huge roots

@NoDuermo on ebay they do a "gravity fed watering system" for £7 they're pretty basic and look simple to use I've got one sat waiting for the exact same reason.

- 26 since germinating.
- Everything seems ok. However, this morning I noticed the tip of one leaf was yellow(ish). This evening I took a picture of it. It didn't get worse since this morning I think. I'm not worried yet, but does someone has an idea what it could be?
I haven't fed the plant yet and I have a (very) small pot. Maybe she's just hungry?

The roots are saying hello on the bottom of the pot. I think of putting her in the ground (with pot) one of these days.

* I got some problems with my Dutch Automatic plants (yellow spots). I haven't found the reason yet and I'm also still waiting for an answer in the Infirmary. Maybe somebody here can check it out pls?

Update:

- 37 days after germination:

It has been raining and it was VERY windy these last 2 days in the low countries as some of you may know, so I decided to put her back in the greenhouse untill tomorrow, when things calm down outside. (However, they forecasted heavy thunderstorms...)

More or less everything seems ok to me. Of course she's small, but that's ok. I like her that way. Perfect for stealth.

If I'm not mistaken, she begins to flower? Can you check out if everything's ok pls?
1 leaf has a small brownish tip. Should I be worried? I haven't fed her yet, so maybe I should consider starting to feed her a bit now?

So, here she is. She's so tiny I find her cute

Ow I forgot: I've noticed some yellow spots on the leaves but they didn't got worse since monday evening since I 1st saw them.
Something to worry about?

Looking good... ya i think she is due for she first feeding

We have the same weather here just delayed by 10-12 hours ... i have 6 balcony plants camping out inside atm

@NoDuermo I had some similar things mate, I've been giving my girls Epsom salt I had abit of a calmag def and that sorted it out still got the odd spot and colouring but all in all a lot healthier mate. But I was the same I panicked but your look really well mate. Roll a fat one and chill dude, yours are looking sweet

New update:


45 after germination

I have fed her twice (Plagron terra Bloom). But just a little. Half of was what indicated.
Since yesterday she sticks her leaves high up in the sky.
I have no idea if she's dancing of joy or screaming "help, I feel sick!"


I've read something about a high humidity but since she's outside, there's not much I can do about that.
