Last week the weather was changeable average calm september weather, partially cloudy, daytemperatures just below 20 C reasonable amount of sun. The biggest plant shows steady flower growth and the smaller one is definitely in the flowering stage by now. I have not watered the plants, I did something for ferilizing though. Because Someone said that guano was a good idea for flowering, and I am financially broke till next monday I took a pigeons nest which was hanging below the balcony of my upstair neighbour and spread it around my plants Maybe I should have put it in a bucket of water an pour it around the plants, but there was rain in the forecast which turned out to fall elsewhere., and I had a very old dried out mixture of feline manure and kitchen scrapes which probanly lost itsnitrogen over the years. (Cats fertilize my garden anyway, they love freshly tilled soil as bathroom) No water required this week, just watered my little apple trees, at one and ahalf meter from the plants. Around the plants I have spread a layer of grass from my lawn and theresult of weeding mainly ground'ivy or whatever it isnamed in english, wookering all over my garden. even trying to take over my lawn.. Now I wonder if it´s a god or a bad idea to create acompost pile around the feet of my plants, because of all the moulds and funghi. I do not know of the funghi involved in compostization of dead plantsare the same as the funghus responsible for toprot. The reason I put all this plantmatter round the plants is improving the soil for thegrowth of 2022, because it is the sunnyest spot. I am concidering to buy a liquid PK booster next monday, but for now I want to let the decaying plant matter dry abit to prevent it to close off the ground from oxygen. It is stille very wet, but now, with sunny weather I expect it to dry quickly, fermenting in the same time. Guess the plants are sucking buckets of water from below this compostating matter. I am under the impression that the pantsare still growing taller, while flowering, but I can´t really tell, but what I can telll is the groth of flowers, especially on sunny days. One thing i find very pleasant of thisstrain is its physical strength, plants are not supported, the big one is leaning some 25 degrees for the loer part growing straight up again half way, in contrary to the big bud I had three years ago, which snapped all with every gust of wind, even the smallone on the balcony of a friend.Update 18 september. Rakelet rematerialized!!! This is a lovely day!, I found back a garden utensil that had been lost for weeks, cannot find translation so I will call it a rakelet, or handrake. Sometimes I can get completely discouraged because of things hiding themselves away, ¨Las cosas tienen vida propia¨ ¨Things have a life of their own¨ Found some courage, thanks to beautifull sunny weather, harvested the last dozen of garlicks, the only vegetable I have grown succesfully , this season has been terrible slugwise, they were eating out of the top of my frisian famkes, when they were well beyond a meter high! Garlick does not repell my slugs at all, I have seen them even climbing it, probably on the lookout for plants they like better. I slightly rearranged my plants apart by pulling strings attached to iron bars in the ground. man! They look even more impressing! For growth these plants can handle a rather rainy summer. I have trimmed my cherry tree a bit, to allow the lowering sun to reach the lower half of my plants, and weeded a bit more of my garden, collecting even more usefull compost for 2022. I am considering not tilling the soil in my hemp corner, and applying nutrients either by just spreading them on top of it or by boring holes and filling them with dried animal shit pellets, this way preserving most of the worm tunnels. 19 September. Weather has been sunny for the time of year, I see the buds swelling rapidly, but harvest end september as has been mentioned for this strain is impossible. Hope the Frisian Dew does what they promise, autumn can be very nasty, and even if this strain is said to be waterproof, when weather is cold and dark grey, buds won't ripe. Next year I think I will cover them up somewhere around the endof august.

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!).

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!

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.
