Day 59: Underground growth seems to have gone fine, started to grow above ground yesterday. All plants made it. Weird weather, cool night yesterday and tonight and then back to seasonal average.

Day 54: Mother nature turned on the summer switch overnight. Beautiful sunny and warm day and temps in the 30's 'C coming up this week. I made 5 potted OG Orinocos this morning. I have a tray and a half of Orinocos left for backups if needed.

Day 53: Going outside yesterday on a cloudy day was ideal. It rained overnight and today the sun and warmer weather is starting. They all survived the transfer without being hardened/acclimated. Six years in I still refuse to do it.

Front row 5 plants: Stag Horn. Last row 7 plants near the white fence: OG Orinoco primitive. All the rest is Bosikappal primitive.

Day 52 part 2: I'm done for the day. Did the leftover Stag Horns(furthest row) and Bosikappals(middle two rows) and one tray of Orinoco(closest row) in my second grow spot. My friend let me use half of the place. I gave a 24" spacing to the plants for the first time.

I have 2 extra trays of Orinoco left. I'm holding on to them in case I need to replace some that don't survive the transplant. Now we wait, sun and warmth starts tomorrow Friday☀️.

Day 52: Let's go! I put a picture of my upside down tomato test, someone was asking about it yesterday. I wasn't expecting to do this today but the sun came out right after breakfast, that was a sign.

Day 51: Going outside postponed until maybe tomorrow or Friday for sure(Friday the warm weather starts for good). It's cold and rainy today and the ground temperature isn't ideal.

Day 46: After a good watering with some Shultz concentrate mixed into the water everything picked up nicely. I bought my tomatoe plants yesterday. Everything is set to go. Weather keeps changing but it's looking like Wednesday to go outside finally. After that the temperature will keep rising.

Day 45: Had a bit of a scare this morning. Cell trays are practical when you're doing 120 plants but it gets crowded and easy to miss something. They were wilting this morning. I'm always self conscious about over watering but in this case they were bone dry.

I clipped the seed leaves and extra wilted leaves and gave them a good watering. They'll survive as usual but one thing I've noticed through the years having them all bunched up in cell trays is that they start their proper cycle only when they go in the ground which is why I always like to go outside as soon as possible. Having arrived at day 45 now I'm waiting day to day for the perfect time to go outside. There's a few cold nights coming up and I'll probably take them outside this weekend or early next week. There comes a time around week 6 where the cell trays are no longer a viable home. I did start a new batch of Bosikappal seeds in my moment of panic...I'll go ahead and do a second planting at the end of June. I'll review my process for next year and will ditch these small cell trays and get bigger ones. I also want to experiment with sowing directly in the ground like our ancestors did. To be continued...

I'm completely out of Burley and don't plan to order raw leaf for at least a year or more. I've been looking at this pouch for a long time and decided to grab a bunch when I was doing my wife's vape order.
