Outdoor Late outdoor grow

1st water/feed
Wednesday 29th July
Gave the plants 4ml of Rhizotonic and 2.5ml of bio-buzz grow in 5lt of water. They had most of it but not all of it before I got run off.
the plants don't seem to want much water yet?? Is this because they are sooo small the soil stays wet, because with the heat we have had lately(everyday about 25c) I would have thought they would have dried out??? Don't wanna water too much but at the same time don't wanna water too little either!!

The plants at 10 days won't be using a lot of water, humidity, wind, temp all go into how fast the soil dries out. You really don't want to water until the pots feel real light compared to when you just watered.

So a little update, bought a small greenhouse for the ladies so I could try to control what and how how water they have, and also for when the weather changes.
they all look good, one noticeably bigger than the other two. Still don't need a water so I'm gonna leave it a couple more days and see. Temps and humidity ranging from 14-45c and 39-91% humidity does this sound ok??

here's some pics, not much but any input is much a priciated

Bit of a worry:
had loads of rain over night then sun all day and came home to find the green house very humid(up to 96%), and condensation all over the inside, from what I've read I don't think this is too much of a problem at the mo when then so small, but will this become a prob later on? I'd like to try and find a solution now rather than it be too late further on in the grow. All i think is I DO NOT WANT MOLD. Pls help guys, or tell me I'm being a paranoid stoner lol!

Try and get as much air flow in the gh, if possible get a fan in there during late flower or earlier and open all your vents.

As they begin to flower make sure you pull off any dead or dying leaves.

Cheers, There's no vents in it it's just a small tomato poly tent thing. Is it worth making some? I've also got no electricity up that end of the garden, will un zipping the bottom help enough? Thanks for your help dartboarddartboard!

Darth!
Bloody auto correct spelling went a bit mental there hey! Lol

 

[Darth Vapour]

I'd unzip the bottom than on the opposite side up near the top of the gh make a vent hole. It's amazing how much heat will escape out of there. Just cut a flap in a reverse U shape should work great

Lol damn autocorrect!

Would it make any difference putting small pebbles in the pot so the soil may not evaporate as much water? Or am I just talking nonsense?

You really don't want to do anything to slow the soil drying, autos don't like having their feet wet. Much better for the soil to dry too fast than too slow
