My smartphone hasgiven the gost, wich is Dutch for saying it is dead, so no pictures of my harvest. One plant is harvested, and it was quite a task trimming because of the sheer amount it took me several days.. Last week I bought a trichometer, amagnifying glass to observe the trichomes. and while the pistils were allready getting purple brownish, trichomes appeared late andwere christal clear 10 days ago, though this changed rapidly. Tuesday 5th october I spotted one bud with mould, and removed it, and dried the surroundings of this bud in the microwave at 100 watts. Does not give a perfectly balanced aromatic weed, but saves me a trip to the coffeeshop. It was bit difficult to decide when to harvest, beacause trichomes apeared late. While harvesting I discovered some moulded spots, but...No disastruous destruction, just small patches of about one centimeter, at about a foot from the tips of the cola's. No disaster at all, guess there were about 10 of these patches over the entire plant, maybe I have lost some 2 percent due to mould, no tragedy like entire cola's rotting away overnight, which happened to one of my autoflowers last summer. Trimming was quite a job, because of the size of the plant. Very funny was it to see that the top branch which I had snapped while standing on a ladder, and repaired with bamboo andgoosetape, had healed wonderfully. I have theimpression that this Frisian Dew is a lot harder to cut than other strains in previos years, very tough and fibrous. I have put the heating at 21.5 degrees, just tolerable for myself, and enough to reduce humidity to prevent mould the first days of dying. The second plant will be harvested one of these days. I have absolutely no Idea how much weight there will be, but I guess somewhere between one pound and a kilogram, probably enough to avoid the famous Amsterdam Coffeeshops, apart from buying a gram of Dutch-Moroccan hashish every once in a month. Smoke review will follow, but I have allready tried a bit, and it knocked me out because I am not used to smoking in daytime. I found out my lady has had a secret affair maybe a distant lover, more seeds than in the previous years, can be anything, people put seedsfrom bought weed between the flowers on their balcony, and let it bloom, regardles of sex.

Growing in the ground / Flowering nutrition. Someone told me that when flowering starts plants need different nutrition, my plants are growing directly in the ground (no watering needed this year), Can it help to give extra Potassium and Phosfor? Plants look perfectly healthy.

Growing in the ground you have a huge beneficial eco system and nutrition from various sources - I would top dress with some Guano or some other PK booster (but low doses) and maybe water in some low dose organic outdoor bloom booster on subsequent feeds. It is unlikely you will need it but epsom on standby. You may even be able to get your soil properly tested and they can give you approximate contents which is great for growing (anything) outdoors. After this season you can amend the soil around and effectively build your own supersoil in the garden (that what I am aiming to do in the new house for next year!).

¿Can molds from compost heaps jump to the buds of my plant or are the moulds and funghi in a heap of decaying weeds different species than the funghi responsible for bud rot?

You are still a way of mate. Possibly up to 7 weeks left. You might be lucky and it be ready in another 4 weeks. I hope the climate where you live will hold out until it finishes.

Would It be helpfull to use some kind of PK booster for plants standing in the ground? And what? Apply liquid fertilizer? Soil is probably packed with nitrogen. Plants are big and green. Would it increase speed of bud growth? Applying solid fertilizers would be late I guess.

Have a look at my huge girls. Their all fed Massive Bloom Formulation. I swear by this stuff. All natural, made from bees. Best I have found since I started to use bloom boosters. Did a clone side by side comparison to no booster, the plant with massive bloom formulation, through out an ounce and a half more than her sister, with bigger harder nugs, and the girl with the booster tasted much nicer than without. Cheers

Yep Bro, you can add PK nutes in the irrigating water. Looking at you plants they seem to have all they need. IMO you are doing well and balanced until now.When the plant will need something she will be the one to tell you, yellowing and discoloring the bottom canopy (which in any case would turn yellow due to senescence). Balance is the trick! Balance is the trick!

For organic PK booster you might wanna try Bac PK boosterb maybe some biobizz top max or some guanos, kelp (dry or liquid) or even banana tea :)

I see a lot of pistils, but still very few trichomes, while the pistils seem to change colour allready, seems different from last year when buds were very leafy but those little leafs were full of trichomes. Is this going to change?

You are only a couple of weeks into flower, be patient young jedi, the trichomes will come :) If your pistils are browning very quickly all over the plant well before it is ready you may have been pollenated so just keep an eye on your seed bracts to look out for seeds.

The best way to tell when your plant is ready to harvest is by looking at the trichomes. Use 60x magnification or better. A USB microscope or a jewelers loupe will work well. When all the trichomes are milky with a small percentage of amber ones it's ready to harvest. The percentage of amber trichomes is completely personal preference. I harvest my I divas when all the trichomes are milky with about 10% amber and I harvest my Sativas when there's about 15%-20% amber.

They go to flower right away. look at SOG grows( not SCROG ). Most will be 12/12 from seed. This grows small plants since they veg for 2-3 weeks and then start to flower. But for outdoor grow with a 12/12 sun schedule growers will do one of 2 things if they want larger plants. 1. Grow indoors then bring them outside to flower 2. Add a supplemental light at the end of the day to keep the plant in veg then stop the supplemental light when they want to flower.

Olá amigo, eu acho que a planta de cannabis em si é uma planta que se adapta às várias regiões no mundo e vários horários de luz. Por isso ela por ela própria entra em floração. Eu acho que também a países muitos frios e que tem poucas horas de luz mas os cultivos são bons :) Mas é uma boa questão irmão. Abraço

I read a trick for indoor growers to give the plants 36 hours of darkness before switching the light schedule to 12 / 12 to kickstart flowering. Would it be a good idea to do this outside, just at the moment that they give the first sign of flowering?

No the reason for this is indoor your doing a sudden switch from XX/XX to 12/12 and by giving the extended darkness your "Convincing" the plant its now time to flower. Where outdoor its a gradual change to 12/12. If you are already seeing flowering then she is flowering. Happy Growing

I once heard about 36 or 48 hours of darkness before harvesting, but my plants are standing in the ground. But.....you can keep branches alive for ages in a bucket of water. Now some branches I did not trim yesterday seem to get frostier.

No don't keep them alive in a bucket of water, You will want to harvest right before the sun rises. The reason for the darkness is during the day the plant collects energy from the sun. At night any leftover energy is used up. It will help with the curing process as the plant is not full of energy that has to break down. But it is not worth the hassle for the amount of gain you get. Nothing has been proven scientifically yet. There have been studies that show both yes and no answers. Every study I have seen that is more then 36h darkness has had either no effect or negative effects. Tests that have been done for 18-24h have shown the best results if any. Happy Growing

This year pistils darkened fast, some said my ladies might have been pollinated, others said itwas the wet (western Europe) weather, but now that I am smoking I find about 1 seed every gram of weed, just curious to know how many seeds other people find in their "sin semilla."

I did not have enough characters left to state that both of my plants were straight female, and that the neighbours growing on their balconies are very experienced growers, so I find it very improbable that my Femkes have been pollinated from there.
