Quick update...
All the Lowryders are dead (slug and snails), I knew there was a chance of them being eaten and I checked twice daily removing all and every little slime balls I could find, but I cant watch every hour of the day, so the paving slabs have now been salted and all woodwork painted with a mixture of 1 part flour and 2 parts salt mixed with water to make a salt 'paint', this is painted on all surfaces from the ground to 6 inches above ground, trust me, this stops slugs and snails sliding up the surface to plants kept above soil level :hubba:
So the battle has commenced
Anyway, back to the update..
Picture 1, beer baby as she is (31 inches tall), 3-5 days and she will be strong enough to go directly in the ground, the ground is all prepaired with compost and ive added micro nutes to the soil as well.
Picture 2, I was given free seeds from Doc Chronic calles Critically Smashed, I soaked 5 seeds in kitchen paper and all 5 germed.
Picture 3, out of 5 Critically Smashed 4 are deformed with odd shaped tops and 3 even have a leaf missing! (it looks like the freebies are genetically unstable and more than likely turn hermie on me) :shocked:
Picture 4, More Lowryders on the go, these are exactly the same age, on the left is Lowryder#2 and on the right is Diesel Ryder, the Diesel are growing faster (yes I know they are stretching, im growing in a place where the sun is shy)
Picture 5, pics of L/R and Diesel again.
Picture 6, Diesel Ryders are new on the market, this plant keeps growing back into the soil, twice ive had to take it out the pot and re position it so the leaves are up but it still insists on curling over and trying to put its leaves under the soil, very odd thing to see, when I lift the sprout out of the soil to get the leaves up the whole seedling is spiral in shape just curling over and over itself (could be a genetic flaw)
Picture 7, 3 Lowryder#2, front is 2 weeks, middle is 8 days back is 3 days.
Picture 8 My baby Beefsteak Tomato plant just for something different to look at lol
