This Damn Heat Wave... (and my potting mix also)
I've got 8 babies outside right now... a few afghans, and the rest a mix of various strains. We have been having 100 degree temps and 50% humidity for the last week or so. Any advice on what do do with outdoor plants in this weather?
The Afghans seem to be taking it the worst; which seems odd. Some of their leaves have yellowed a bit, and seem to be curling upward a bit as well... actually growing upward more then curling upward.
I had them in a spot that got like 6-7 hours of direct sunlight each day. When I noticed the slight problems I moved them to a more shaded spot that got light through the leaves of a taller bush. They started looking worse, so now I have them where they are getting 4-5 hours of direct light a day.
I'm just trying to keep them well watered and hoping the weather cools down soon.
Also, they are in Fafard Professional Potting Mix in 8 oz. cups with drainage holes. They are only between 2 and 4 inches tall right now.
Here is a link to the mix, in case you have any criticisms. This is only my second grow, and I've never had a female... so I'm open to advice. Fafard Professional Potting Mix - 8 QT at Merrifield Garden Center
I plan on putting them in bigger pots sometime in the next week or so, so if you have any recommendations for changing the soil I would appreciate it.jsn9333 Reviewed by jsn9333 on .
