[CBG] Auto CBG-Force

- All the plants look good. - They were really long. I added substrate and buried the stem down. - It's nice weather here. The seedlings have sun all day. I help them with the lights in the evening. - I am adding beneficial microbes, aloe vera, humic and fulvic acids and basic homemade fertilisers. NPKs are planned from next week.

- Transplanting into a larger pot. - LST training. - Start of NPK grow fertilisation. - All the plants look good.

- Lateral branches are growing and perhaps the first hints of flowers. - The weather was bad during the week = the plants were sometimes at home.

- The plants start to produce their first flowers. - Changing fertilisers from "grow" to "bloom". - It was relatively nice weather and sunny this week. - I believe I would be able to distinguish all the plants without colors identification pins now. My CBGs have very different phenotypes. One is a huge XXL, the second is dwarf and the third is medium with almost no side branches.

- I removed the oldest triple leaves, which were yellowing. - The plants begin to smell. - First trichomes are visible. - I won't be doing any more LSTs. I don't want to stress my girls now that they're blooming. - I bought a new vaporizer for dried herbs - I can't wait to try it with my own cannabis.

- Taking photos of trichomes is hell - I'll have to buy a microscope or a special macro lens. :-) - It's really hot over the weekend. I water more and protect the pots from direct sun. But the plants seem to like the heat - the buds are getting fatter and almost don't give off any smell. - I trimmed lower leaves.

- Last week some pest (probably a caterpillar) chewed the leaves of my Think Different. Now CBG and CBDV also have this problem. I have ordered a spray with bacillus thuringiensis. I hope that it helps. - The weather was strange this week - one day hot, the next day rainy. Sometimes I keep my plants at home for protection from extreme thunderstorms and hailstorms. - Flowers are full of fur when I have the plants outside and my dogs walk around them. :-D - I made hemp-coconut oil from defoliated leaves. I know the fan leaves don't have many effects, but it tastes great.

- I caught the caterpillar that was eating leaves. Bacillus thuringiensis helped. Thank you very much for your advice, crimsonecho! - I like watching trichomes up close. And I also enjoy taking pictures of them. They look great! - Buds are getting more thick. CBGs has strong central cola flowers (more than lateral stems). - The smell is sometimes moderately intense and sometimes almost none. - Everything looks ok, weather and temperatures are acceptable and the plants grow without any problems.

- I haven't posted here because the system blocked my comments and other activities whenever I tried to write something. So the diary is a bit late. Hopefully it won't make any more trouble. - CBGs have become more thick over the last week. - Some trichomes are already amber, so I'll be harvesting. - The next diary update will be a harvest report. - I'm really looking forward to smoking - especially when this is the first cannabis I've grown.

Harvested! I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the growing. Thanks for watching, comments, support and help. Not tried yet - I will update the diary after the first smoke. What to improve next time: - Fertilisation optimisation (replace Voodoo Juice with Tarantula and and use more home-made fertilizers) - No defoliation (it probably slowed down the growth of my plants) - Plastic starter pots, not fabric pots (they are difficult to remove plants from when transplanting) - No germination directly in soil (I'd rather have more insight into the seeds)
