Frisian Dew Patagonia Outdoor

growing_patagonia Hello, Frisian Dew from Dutch Passion germinated in San Martin de los Andes, Patagonia Argentina, on 21-09-2021. The idea is to keep them in an indoor tent under a 400w sodium light until the cold allows us to take them outside, as it will be an OUTDOORS grow in approximately 100-liter geotextile pots. 14/10 topping at the third node.

growing_patagonia The Frisian Dew seems to have reacted well to topping at the third node, now in the next few days it will be transplanted into a 7-liter pot and then LST will be started😬

growing_patagonia Entering the 5th week, I defoliated a bit and transplanted to a 7-liter pot with mycorrhizae in the substrate and watered with dechlorinated water, they are still under a 400w HID sodium light 18/6. Getting them ready to take them out to the outdoor garden in mid-November. 💪

growing_patagonia Hello, in this 6th week I'm still trying to give it a low structure using LST ties, helped by strong defoliation, and I've applied apical pruning to the 4 main colas, so in 10 days I'll have 8 main colas to apply apical pruning to again, aiming for 16 main colas. My goal is to reach February with 64 main colas. Today, 1/11/21, I'm going to water with mineral nutrients called KAWSAY (Argentinian product) that several good growers compare to GROTEK results. By the end of November, the Frisian Dew will go out to the patio or garden to transform into a beautiful specimen in a 100-liter geotextile pot! 💪

growing_patagonia In the seventh week, 12 main tops are clearly visible thanks to low stress training and successive apical prunings. My plan is to keep doing apical prunings on all the tops to achieve at least 48 main tops. It was transplanted on 8/11 into a 20-liter pot to continue its vegetative stage indoors with a 400w HPS sodium light. By the end of the month, it will be moved outside, and in December, it will be transplanted into its final 100-liter pot. San Martin de los Andes, Patagonia, Argentina 😎 It is watered once with dechlorinated water, and the next time is with Kawsay, a plant-based fertilizer, and so on consecutively.

growing_patagonia Hey friends, I wanted to share that the Frisian Dew at the beginning of its week 8 received 12 apical prunings to get 24 main colas, getting ready to go outside in about ten days. I keep watering with KAWSAY ARGENTINE MINERAL FERTILIZER ONCE A WEEK, WATERING IN THE MIDDLE WITH DECHLORINATED WATER 4oow 18/6 20 liters

growing_patagonia The moment has come to go outside today 07/12 my Frisian Dew went out to the garden, I'm going to give it a few days to settle in and soon I will transplant it to its final pot, a 100-liter geotextile smartpot. Today it has 24 main colas, I feel the plant is more flexible to keep tying it to the pot, I will apply LST and after 3 weeks maybe some more apical pruning! It's really hot in my city, 27° in December, it's going to be a hot summer in Patagonia. 😬 -09/12 it was transplanted to its final 100-liter geotextile smartpot, I did a root pruning, cut the last 7/8cm of the root ball, it's the first time I'm doing this technique. -Substrate 20 liters 100% COCO 10 liters worm humus 70 liters GROWMIX PREMIUM 260g of AZOMYTE 30g Bone Ash Fertilizer Namaste From now on everything organic.

growing_patagonia Very happy after some time letting them adapt to the outdoors, the plant reacted well to the root pruning, and developed abundant foliage in these almost 3 weeks of being outside in the garden. The stem finally started to thicken and is taking the shape I always imagined. I continue to water only with Namaste, natural fertilizers, to help the enriched soil. I keep tying with LST, I haven't done any more apical pruning. It's been really hot, so I keep it constantly hydrated. It NEVER showed STRESS at any moment, not when I had problems with white flies, nor with the transplants, not even with the change from INDOOR TO OUTDOORS. In love it with FD.

growing_patagonia I'm very happy with the evolution of the Frisian Dew that was born on September 21, 2021, and today, 01/09/2022, it only measures 50cm in height, but it has a 1-meter diameter, due to an early apical cut and then successive prunings to multiply colas, combined with meticulous LST which has allowed me to train the plant sideways instead of upwards. I'm very busy during the high tourist season in Patagonia, so I can't dedicate as much time to GrowDiaries as I would like, but I'm attaching some low-quality photos from my phone; I'll upload better ones later. 💪

growing_patagonia Age: 4 months Height: 60 cm Diameter: 1 meter Techniques: Multi Topping - LST - DEFOLIATION In 4 months of growing, I can't express the pride I feel for everything I've learned with this Frisian Dew strain from Dutch Passion. I'm thrilled to grow it in my city, San Martin de los Andes, Neuquen, Argentina. 01/20 I did a heavy defoliation so that the light hits the main colas directly. I'm really looking forward to how it will look when it's in advanced flowering. I'm just a few days away from setting up a SCROG structure to help me with the process of supporting the plant. 01/22 Foliar application of delta 9 01/25 Incipient resin and lots of colors, it responded well to delta 9.

growing_patagonia 31/01/2022 SAN MARTIN DE LOS ANDES LEGAL GROW REPROCAAN 💪It started to turn pink and firmer. I'm going crazy. Really enjoying the process!

growing_patagonia Getting fat, I see her tough and compact, I'm about to go on vacation and will be away for a week, sending you greetings and I hope that after the vacation they are perfect just like all of your Patagonian cultivation has been. See you in a little while, let's hope for a lot of resin hehe 😄

growing_patagonia 7/03 I was on vacation for 20 days. A friend took very good care of my beloved Frisian. I had read that the green phenotype flowers earlier, and that’s exactly what happened because in the next diary post, I will be harvesting. It looks like a small table 1 meter in diameter filled with buds, abundant resin, and a skunky smell as I had read the green phenotype produces. The rains have started, and I'm on the lookout for mold since I don't want to lose part of the harvest. I will post more high-quality photos this week.

growing_patagonia 13/03 Final stretch, I had some issues with Mold since the nighttime humidity is around 88%, which makes the proliferation of fungus on such a thick and compact bud a problem. And seeing the trichomes, I noticed that almost 10% of the trichomes are amber, which is the harvest point I like. Tomorrow I will harvest one of the prettiest plants I've had the chance to grow, full of learnings. P.S.: GREEN PHENOTYPE STARTED FLOWERING 1 MONTH EARLIER THAN THE REST OF MY PLANTS AND WILL BE HARVESTED 1 MONTH EARLIER THAN ANOTHER FRISIAN DEW VIOLET PHENOTYPE (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/133840-grow-journal-by-growing-patagonia) P.S.2: GREEN PHENOTYPE CLASSIC SKUNK AROMA, COMPACT RESINOUS BUDS!💪

growing_patagonia I harvested the Frisian Dew that has taught me so much, I dedicated some nice words to it before the chop. It's drying now, let's hope in a few days I can tell you how we did in terms of quantity and quality of the buds. They have a lemon aroma. I'll keep you posted. 😁
