Hello GD community!
It's time for some DELICIOUS EXPERIMENTATION 🔬
Second year as grower and first time with this strain.
🙋♂️For those that don't know me, I'm a 100% OUTDOOR grower from Italy, great supporter of efficient and simple things; I love experimenting and always learning for my errors and this what I do also when growing 💪
💡 Pretty sad that at the end of the summer you have to wait for the next spring/summer before starting a new grow, right?
💡 What if we could grow OUTDOOR in a wider time window? Maybe only skipping winter 👀
This question doesn't come from the "need more smoke" but from my pure LOVE and satisfaction in watching growing and experimenting with these plants.
So
👉 I purchased a small greenhouse for the late flowering of my Royal Cheese photoperiodic [see pic], and since, as you can see, there is some remaining space, I was thinking...
💡 Why shouldn't I try to grow some Autos from zero even though summer has gone?
⚙️ The GREENHOUSE is fully passive. The SUN will be my only source of heat and light, nothing artificial and 0 watts consumption 🌞
I've read I can use big masses of stored water to help giving some heat in the night, so, again, it will be fun experimenting.
If you have any experience with these, please let me know something in the comment, it will be helpful.
🌱 The candidate for this new diary is a "Runtz Auto" by Zamnesia Seeds.
I would like to thank @Zammi_official for sending me these seeds for free and for supporting my ideas/plans 🙏 I'm really curious to see how this strain reacts to suboptimal weather conditions 🤓 .

I will update the diary once a week and in particular the first day of each week.
"Day 0" will be assigned when the first leaves will come out from the soil.

08/09/2021 - Day 0 - First day of the 1st week.
The journey begins. Baby alive! 😍
Came out with the "hat" and helped just a little to take it off.
I'm sooo curious about the outcome of this experiment!
Stay tuned 💪
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

15/09/2021 - Day 7 - First day of the 2nd week.
First week has gone.
She overgrew with the stem and had to cover it with some more soil to let it remain vertical.
From today on we have to deal with some rain.
She spent the first 7 days indoor near a window, moving her outside in the next days, when the sun will come back, I'll move her just to the greenhouse, for now.
The plan is to move her to the greenhouse only if weather gets too cold or in case of rain (actual situation).
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

22/09/2021 - Day 14 - Second day of the 3rd week.
Second week has gone.
Pics from the greenhouse since she spent there the last few days because of the rain.
Also temperatures dropped so I think she will be good in there.
Pretty satisfied by her development given the only 14 days of life, what do you think?
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

05/10/2021 - Day 28 - First day of the 5th week.
First signs of preflower.
Veg phase is ending.
A lot of rain today and in the past days, low sunlight and heat. Not that friendly :(
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

12/10/2021 - Day 35 - First day of the 6th week.
Flowering time! 🌺
Great development in height in the last week, I'm pretty proud of her.
Temperatures are dropping, now comes the hard part of the experiment! Dealing with the real cold!
Let's see if DEMETRA🏠 can help this baby to survive and produce any delicious bud 🤞
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

Again great development in height in the last week, I'm pretty proud of her.
Temperatures are dropping, now comes the hard part of the experiment! Dealing with the real cold!
Let's see if DEMETRA🏠 can help this baby to survive and produce any delicious bud 🤞
I'm dealing with the problem of managing humidity, please let me know if you have any hint.

26/10/2021 - Day 49 - First day of the 8th week.
Cold is here. NIghts are officially under 10°C
Used some carved pieces of wood for the LST, to put some space between side branches,and also defoliated a little for better illumination of lower bud sites.
Hope she won't die for the cold.
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

09/11/2021 - Day 63 - First day of the 10th week.
0°C nights are here
Also noticed these white areas on the leaves. Google a little and seems being WPM ( White Powdery Mildew) 😥
As soon as I have some time I'll try to treat with some scottex and some milk.
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

16/11/2021 - Day 70 - First day of the 11th week.
Treated the WPM, now monitoring the situation.
Development I would say stopped, but I'll leave her there anyway.
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

23/11/2021 - Day 77 - First day of the 12th week.
Last update.
Serious problems with mold and WPM. Less if compared to Northern Light but I don't want to lose everything.
Good smell.
Chopping in the next days
Very good candidate for this experiment! Airy buds but it was obvious in the hard conditions she had to face. Decent resistance to mold and WPM if compared to my other experiment. Great sweet smell during flowering and also now in the jars. Curious to give her a chance also with appropriate conditions.

One month after the harvest we are finally closing also this chapter.
Because of the completely passive drying and the fact that we are/were in December, it took a while, but here we are!
Pretty satisfied by the performance of this girl in the hard conditions she had to face.
Great develpment during veg phase.
Airy buds but given the low amount of light it was expected.
Also great sweet smell during flowering and also now in the jars.
Very curious about the taste 😋
I would say that germinating 3/4 weeks earlier could bring to great results, I'll keep in mind for next season.
In the end I would like to thank again @Zammi_official for providing the seeds and the trust Hope in more future collaborations ✌️
See you all next spring
Peace.
