Well I think it was a bit of a foul ball to start these plants on the roof right from seed. Nature has not been cooperating and for most of the last two weeks it’s been pretty consistently hot and humid. Daytime temps most days have been in the high 80s or low 90s and I think the black surface of the roof is making it even hotter. Besides the heat there has been just enough rain the keep the pots a little too wet and prevent me from being able to water in any nutrients.
Also welcoming a freebie seed that I am excited to grow, if it survives my roof anyway. At 6 days above ground we have a (Forum Stomper x Fugue State) x Forum Stomper. I am a fan of both of these strains, and have had good luck with other Forum Stomper crosses, so if isn’t completely stunted by my hot roof it could be great?
Pink Panama day 17
FS x FS x FS day 6
I am open to any suggestions, but I think the mistake was putting baby plants on the hot roof combined with the pots being just a little too wet. This is my first run with autos outside, but my photos I always started inside early and when planted in early June they were already pretty good sized bushes and much hardier. I would have started them inside, but my second tent is shutdown for cleaning and relocation.
Both plants seem healthy other than growing very slowly, so I don’t think there are any nutrient issues. The Pink Panama even has a bunch of roots shooting out the bottom of the pot already, she is probably looking for some drier soil….On one of my first autos grows I stunted the plants very early on, well before they showed sex. I was able to correct the issue before the plants started to flower and they were on the small side, but went on to produce some nice flowers. I am hopeful that they same thing will happen here. At this point I think the only thing to do is to let them ride it out. I will give them BioCanna nutrients if the soil ever dries out, in the meantime I top dressed around the plants with a little bit of worm castings and Down to Earth Vegan Blend dry amendment to start getting something into the soil.
