Scandinavian indoor/outdoor grow

Spoiler: Cover photo

I've done some glogs before, but the last two or three I've failed to update after a while during the season.
So I figured it would be better to have a glog that will be continuous, documenting each year of growing to the best of my abilities, no promises though.

Anyway, I've mostly been an indoor grower and 2024 was actually the first year I could do a partial outdoor grow. Granted it was on a balcony, but that counts, right?
The grow season is a bit short here, so I will keep doing indoor grows but moving plants outside as soon as temperature permits and space allows.

Since this is just a short introductory post I think I'll finish with links to my previous glogs and the list will be updated with links to the first post in this glog for a specific year (it will make sense in 2026, I promise).

It's been less than a week since I repotted the final plants but I do think they have taken a liking to their new homes. Not sure if it's my imagination or not but several plants look like they've grown a lot in the past few days:

Things are looking great Ohjay. I get the same impression that they've grown noticeably in this short time!

Thank you for the kind words @Downriver & @CaneDog.
It definitely feels like I'm doing something right this season and it's been a while since I've had so many plants in picture perfect health. I usually struggle with some oedema, especially on annuums, but this year I have not seen any yet. *fingers crossed*

I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I checked the plants today because it looked like they had grown quite a bit since friday. So I snapped a picture and placed them side by side (from friday & today) and it is absolutely visible on several plants that they've grown quite a bit.
If this keeps up I'm going to have space issues long before I can move plants to the balcony. But I guess that is a good problem to have?

I also started 8 new hydro plants today. In no particular order:

• Aleppo
• Pasilla Baijo
• Numex Suave Red
• Moruga Blackjack DD
• Wild Galapagos
• Scotch Brains XCP
• 7 Pot Cinder F6
• Galapagos Isabela Habanero

This is the first step in my grand scheme (plan?) to use hydro growing to try new varieties.
The next step is to do better documentation of what I have grown, which seeds I have, opinion of pods and plants.
I'm probably small-time compared to some of you, but I do have seeds for somewhere around 120 varieties and I have an excel sheet for documentation purposes but it can definitely be improved, so step 2 & 3 is to update the excel sheet (or create a new one) and start organizing the seeds, because currently they are all in a cardboard box in a drawer. It's kind of a pain to sort through them every time I'm looking for something particular, so better organization is a must. Especially if (read: when) I get more seeds.
