Hey everyone,
Just a bro from New Zealand growing some plants in the garden for the first time (kiwiskunk feminized) and have a few questions..
NOTE: I've searched the forums for answers already but I haven't come across enough relevant info. A lot of it is only a little bit similar to what I am trying to do and is of little use to me so I thought I might as well make my own thread. But yeah, I did try, sorry if these Q's have been answered before. Cheers.
----------------
I germinated the seeds and then planted them 12 days ago into small 2inch jiffy pots with some run-o-the-mill seed raising mix inside a mini-greenhouse, all of which was purchased conveniently from Te Ware Whare lol.
I originally placed the greenhouse in a slightly shadyish area and I give them a short mist with the hose every couple of days when the soil looks dry. But after a minor dampening off problem, I applied cinnamon to the soil (worked) and placed the greenhouse in a sunnier area. I now also leave the lid open during the day so the light breeze can strengthen the stems a bit, and close the lid at night to keep them warm/protect from rain.

pic1- greenhouse
pic2-dampening off
pic3-fixed with a dash of cinnamon and about a teaspoon of extra soil per pot to support the stems
pic4-another angle
My questions:
1. How do these look for 12 days old?
2. Criticisms on what i've done so far? good/bad/absolutely shite?
3. When can I transplant them to slightly bigger pots and the process for this?
4. Watering/nutes/care tips once they have been transplanted?
5. Tips for getting skunk off these little bastards as possible?
Sorry for writing a fuckin novel aye, but it's best to have you fully up to speed in order to help me as best you can I reckon.
Cheers everyone,
