Used a Giffie to Germinate. Seed cap got stuck for a while but eventually came loose, hopefully a good sign for the strength of this baby

Topped a bit too late but was already starting to pre flower. Sprayed every 5 days the foliage mixture. Transplanted into plantmatter fabric pots and added in micro matter from plantmatter SA and more explogro into the fresh soil. 
A mixture of my compost been fermented over 6 months now with fruits and vegetables with added micro matter as well. 
In both photos are Totemic Genetics left is the Choco NL and right the Bubbleberry 

Will also document Bubbleberry’s growth. 
This was taken May 23rd, today just after being transplanted and topped. Hoping for a full recovery in this cold. 
Do you recommend that I also LST for better light exposure or leave as is?

I would leave them as is... Do you take them inside at night?

Last few nights took them inside, weather getting colder and fast.

Decided to LST the Choco NL. Going to have to move them inside under a light. It is getting cold fast and light hours are changing rapidly. Anyone have an extra light they wanting to through away? Or sponsor or lend? 

 

[Stinger96]

If possible, I would say let them sleep inside from now on. Only put them out if it is nice and sunny.. The cold stunted my two plants badly because I could not move them inside at night and now with this cold front the little ones that can be moved fare far better.

Decide with the lockdown being the way that it is, I am busy with a small Greenhouse that a friend has offered up inside of a Nursery. Has a bit of stuff included, fans, ventilation, shaded and blackened window pains. I just need to add in a heating system and watering system which will be an alrightish task to handle. Do you guys recommend a specific Humidity controller? 

Going to setup a drip watering system from the Jojo tank and just use gravity. Will be circular around the base of the stem. There are enough fans for warm air circulation I just need to control the Humidity - Must be between 60 - 70% and temperatures between 21 degrees to 26 degrees.

I found these LED Bulbs, E27 Base type, SMD3528 LEDS, 352 LED, 21W, 255 Red - 97 Blue, LED Wavelength Red (620-630 nm, 650-660 nm); blue (440-450 nm, 450-460 nm) and has a coverage of 2.4 squares per bulb at R 530 a bulb. Would that be ideal lighting for the Greenhouse or should I choose HID lighting? 

This will obviously be for the future as well not just during this winter period. Will it be advisable to add another 10 plants now in the greenhouse or wait until season starts?

The Low stress has helped by getting light to the entire plant, they are still lacking in size for obvious reasons. I have also lollipoped them to give most energy to growing the newest growths instead of smaller growths  and seems to be working well. At night I bring them under the florescent light for an extra 4 hours of light and in the morning before the sun is at its peak. 

Been feeding seagrow Kelp with foliage sprays every 5 days and Explogrow every 2 weeks directly in the soil.
