Hi guys,
I had a pretty successful first outdoor grow last year.
Initial rookie error of using miracle-gro compost aside, I brought in c. 4oz from two plants, relying on bio-bizz bloom for my nutrients.
This year has been an absolute shocker: despite investing in All-Mix substrate, BB Gro, Alg-a-mic and BB Bloom my first plant (Narco Purps by Cream of the Crop) is severely stunted at less than 30cm tall(!!!!) and I'm expecting c. 5grams max from a 11Litre pot.
Absolutely galling.
I decided to try again with a second Narco Purps plant, germinated around 4 weeks ago. This time I went with Light-Mix and a 12Litre fabric pot. The exact same stunting as happened again. We're talking 15CM tall and I can already see the beginnings of pre-flower. The leaves are healthy aside from the odd thrip nibble, with no signs of nutrient deficiency etc.
The weather here (South East UK) has been dry, but overwhelmingly overcast. Other than that, the environment is exactly as it was last year.
I don't see a way to fix this now? But would be interested to know whether I just put this down to extremely poor genetics or old seeds that are ill suited to an outdoor set-up?
Happy to post some photos if that's helpful.
Big thanks,
