Finally the outdoor season in the Dutch like climate is starting💪🏽 I have decided to put the seed directly into soil as I had the same results as the higher effort alternatives. First I will let the plant grow mostly inside by the window until middle may when we don’t have to fear temperatures below 0 degrees at night. It’s my first time growing Durban Poison but I have had great results with Dutch Passion strains outdoor.
Nothing special to mention for this week. She is really stretching. Sadly the weather was pretty bad the last weeks and I couldn’t let her have some fresh air yet. But the weather is supposed to improve next Week. Then she can get done direct sunlight during the day. I’m thinking about using some organic nutrients I was given. Maybe I will start with that in the coming days.
Not much to say. She is growing healthy and nicely. The weather is getting better and I am starting to put her outside during the good days. I hope she will get more sturdy by doing this. Also I started adding a little bit of organic root and veg nutrients I got at an event a few years back. I really don’t need to do too much nutrients wise in the veg state as she has enough time grow into a big tree until the flowering starts. Then I will be a bit more precise to get good quality bud. 💪🏽
This week went really well. She is starting to grow fast. Also I have her outdoors most of the daytime now. So she gets more intense sun and is becoming more stable. The nutrients seem to do it’s thing well enough. I’m really waiting for better weather. It’s been the coldest April since a loooong time here. By the middle to end of May I should be able to transplant her into the ground. The spot is prepared with selfmade compost and horn shavings 💪🏽
The weather is still very cold for this time of the year but the forecast looks promising. I think two or three more weeks and she can be transplanted into the final spot. Even though the weather is this shitty she looks amazing and is getting really sturdy. I just transplanted her into an approx. 1 l pot and dug her in a few centimetres. If she handles the transplant well, I should be able to top her next week for the first time. So far so good. 💪
This week we finally had really good weather and she could really gain a lot of growth before I topped her yesterday. Now the weather will be very inconsistent the coming week. When it starts to get sunnier again and she has fully recovered I will put her in the ground. Can't complain a bit. Compared to the girls of a friend mine is going extremely strong with this shit weather so far. Soon I can also beginn my two Autos for this year. Let me know if you see anything I could do better or have tips. 💪
Another successful week. Weather is stabilising more and more, although it stays relatively cold and cloudy. At least the nights stay above 5 °C now. She has definitely recovered well from the topping and will be ready for the final transplant by next week. Not Much to say other than that. Also my two autos for this year are now in the soil and I should be able to start those diaries by tomorrow or the weekend. Stay cultivated! 🙏
Once again, she is doing great! Especially for the rather shitty weather. I have just today transplanted and topped her for the final time. From now on I will only bend her a bit f necessary. I wasn't sure if transplanting her and topping her at the same time might be too much stress, but she has proven very resistant and strong so I went for it. When transplanting I used a mycorrhizae & bacteria mix that I just pored over the roots and in the planting hole. She was really stretching last week. I hope she will continue without too much of a delay due to the stress today. As always: If you have any tips or trick, let me know! Always thankful for some friendly criticism! :)
So the lady has been recovering from the topping well and is growing into a nice and even bush. From now on I will just let her grow and bend her from time to time when necessary. The only problem I am seeing is that the leafs from the main stem are colouring weirdly. maybe that normal but I will open a question regarding that.
So in three of my pictures I show leafs growing directly from the main stem. They are discoloured and have dark and brittle spots on them. I haven't seen that in any plants from the past jet and the rest of the leafs look fine. Does anyone have an ideal what that means? Thanks! �
The weather is getting nice, warm and sunny now and our girl is growing like crazy. I now have 8 tops at about the same height. Whenever one will get ahead I will tie it down a bit, but for now it looks good. The issue with the leafs isn't spreading to any others. Now its time to let here grow and be amazed :)
She is growing massively fast this week. The weather is really getting good now. The following days are supposed to stay around 33-34 Celsius and super sunny. Let’s see how she handles it. I started to tie her down slightly so she uses all the space she has available. Until flower I will adjust one in a while so she stays bushy but stable. Ne further nutrients were used this week but looks like she isn’t missing any either. So far so good. 💪🏼✌️🏼
What a beast! After tying her down over the last week she is really turning into a huge bush. I'm really curious how tall she will end up and how the yield will be compared to the last times I just let them grow there. I accidentally broke one main cola but immediately tied it up and she seems to have taken it really well. Besides two leafs deforming I can't see any other problems. Will probably have to tie it up again regularly. Stay positive! 🍀✌️🏼
So after a very sunny week it started to rain pretty hard for two days. Now I noticed how unstable I made her with all the LST and Topping. Luckily nothing broke. Now I will have to find a way to stabilise her. It will probably end up with some wire fence on the two ends where she is most unstable. The wall should be strong enough and to the other side I didn't stretch her. In around one month I will give her 125 grams of BioBloom from GHS Feeding. That should be enough for one big plant. 🍀
So I'm sorry for missing one week. I was just writing my exams but finished today. My Durban girl is doing really good. After she kind of collapsed two weeks ago I set up a little fence around her to hold her up. That seemed to work really well. I might not be ideal but efficient. Also I haven't done much. On Monday I gave her her 125g Greenhouse Feeding BioBloom. That should be enough until the harvest. I'm not trying to feed her perfectly but just want her to have some good organic food to fatten up the buds in the end. Also I can now see the first signs of pre flower. Maybe you can notice them on the picture but I it is very early. So I expect her to start building buds very soon. Pretty happy that they are starting this early. Makes the odds of finishing without too bad weather better. 🍀✌️🏼
Another week with nice and even growth. Don't be confused that the hight got smaller. I guessed the last weeks and apparently was off a little. But she is nevertheless growing into a nice bush. If Dutch Passion is right, she should stretch quite a bit now. I would say she will likely be around 1,8m high in the end. I really hope the buds become dense enough for proper drying and curing. Wish y'all a relaxed weekend! ✌️🏼🍀
She is really stretching for the last weeks. One more week and she will probably be taller than me. Except the occasional defoliating I don’t do much with her. Just let her grow and enjoy her beauty. No flaws whatsoever. Wonderful colors with a nice an even canopy. Let’s see how big she will end up. Have a nice weekend! ✌️🏼🍀
She is close to surpass my hight now. My god is she getting big! Not much else to say looking good and growing like crazy. Really looking forward to her first real flower development! Cheers 🍀✌️🏼
As I have to catch up a few weeks of missing updates I won’t be writing too much. There hasn‘t been much to say anyways. She is growing into a beautiful big lady. ✌️🏼
So this week I did a very intense defoliation. It should be enough until the complete end of her. Although I will likely cut off a leaf or two once in a while. After a few days she also filled up nicely again. Really happy with how she is developing. Just hope she properly starts flowering soon. The weather at the moment isn’t very nice and I fear mold if she takes too long…
Not much happened this week. She recovered very well and is slowly developing noticeable bud. Before she just showed pistols for weeks. Now she has to be fast but the weather is supposed to become the following weeks. 🙌🏼
So she took the big defoliation without trouble and is now starting to quickly build up flower. I really hope she can finish properly. I found a weird few branches with white spots and deformed leafs. Will have to make a question about it.
So this last week a few lower branches developed white spots that seem to cause deformation. Is this some kind of mold and do I need to do something about it? I’m worried it will stress if I let it be. Thanks in advance!
This week I did another big defoliation and it will be the last one. I took out a lot of forming popcorn buds and the larger leafs covering bud sizes. She took that very well and the flower is starting to get mir frosty and thick. I can also see a lot of purple developing. With the colder weather coming it should also become even more purple. I really hope she can take the weather for 3-4 more weeks. Seems like she still Hase quite some growth ahead of her. Peace ✌️🏼🍀
Not much to say actually. She is growing beautiful purple buds that show some nice resin production, she took the defoliation like a beast and she does not seem to have problems with mold. The PM nearly completely vanished after spraying her with milk/water (40/60) twice. Now her buds are too far for more spraying. Don’t want the buds to smell and taste like old milk. The following week will be the last time she gets any feeding. After that she will only get water till harvest. I pray she can keep up at least two more weeks. 🙏🏼🍀
I have mixed feelings about this week. On the one side the buds really got quite a lot bigger and frostier but ok the other side the Powdery Mildew came back hard. Will likely have to harvest a good portion of the plant soon and wash if the PM with backing soda and water. Let’s see. The following week is supposed to be a lot better and pretty sunny. I hope she can fatten up a bit more before I will have to harvest. Although I don’t think she will be able to fully mature anymore :/
On Monday I had to harvest approx. one third of the plant due to Powdery Mildew and wash it off. That actually worked out pretty well but the buds are still very underdeveloped. Thievish very annoying to see. She is developing soooo beitifully and would give an amazing yield if she could have completely made it one or two more weeks. Now I think I will completely harvest very soon. Also next week we will have several days of completely rain. That will probably be her end. Let’s see and hope. Maybe one more week with a bit of luck 🍀✌️🏼
