15th of may I dropped them in my coffee filter. Put that in a ziplock and hung it in the kitchencabinet next to the dishwasher. This method rocks!
Added 25 percent of perlite in the hope that the soil becomes more airy for easier root growth. Hope this works. Weather is super nice. 20 plus Celcius during daytime. Hope for a good grow!
I'm quite 'daring' this year. I'n doing 1 pot/bag with good old Plagron all mix (soil specially made for cannabis) and 2 pots/bags with organic veggie garden soil (Pokon moestuin bio grond). It's guite a hassle to buy Biobizz or Plagron soil.
I put the seedlings in Biobizz Light.
Oh, completely forgot to mention. I'm putting the seeds in small plastic pots for starting. It's easier to water. I know it would be better to put them in the pot where they are going to be large plants, but I think/hope this will work out fine.... :-)
18th of May - I can see them breaking through the soil!
22nd of May
Wednesday the 18th they stuck their heads above the soil 💪. Looking good so far. Watering is super easy when not in their final pot. Maybe in a week put them in their final pot? I'll see. For now the weather is fine and lill baby's seem happy. All for now. Thanks for checking in!
24th of May
Transplanted the seedlings in their final pot. The 2 SLH's are going in 12L pots. From which one pot is filled with mostly Plagron All Mix, the other pot is filled with Pokon organic vegetable garden mix. There is such a big difference in quality! The Plagron is super soft, squishy black soil, the Pokon is rough, filled with sticks and stems, hard. I'm super curious which one will grow better...
The JH is in a 16L pot also filled with the Pokon vegetable garden mix.
Oh, all pots conain each 2x Biotabs. Biotabs are sooo convenient... That's it for now. Happy growing!
29th of May
Well, like I mentioned in last weeks report, I have transplanted them in their final pot. It doesn't seem it stunted their growth.
SLH 1 has got a twirly leaf. Maybe due to the cold. I think it happened earlier grows as well. Nothing to worry about I think. The others are doing good. The Jack Herer has got some broader leaves so to see. More Indica? We'll see. Quite exited to be growing greens again 😁.
On rainy days I put them just underneith the veggy garden table so they don't get all soil soaked :-) and I can do the watering myself.
That's it for now. Cheers!
5th of June
Plants are doing good I think. Still curly twirly leaves, but they grow.
Weather was quite nice this week. Sunny, next few days a bit rainy and than sun again.
SLH 1 = 6cm
JH = 7cm
SLH 2 = 6,5cm

Weather is sunny upcoming week, last days have also been sunny. Wednesday the 8th I started with pipe cleaner Shibari :-). It still feels like a torturing technique, but I would like to keep them a bit low. I also like the results of similar sized cola's.
Also installed the Blumat drippers. I've got 2 weeks to dial them in before I go on vacation so that's doable.
Cheers and good grows!
19th of June - Where did my pictures go?!
19th of June
Super nice weather this week. Jack Herer is still the biggest Boss. SLH#1 is the slowest even though she's growing in 'official' cannabis soil (Plagron).
Low stressing away and also pruning the branches I don't want. I'm going for 1 side branch at the internode. I'm guessing I'll do one internode with 1 side branch, next one both side branches pruned and than the next internode 1 side branche again. If anybody is reading this, let me know if that's a strategy you vibe with or maybe let me know what you think of it. Did this 2 years ago and liked the results then.
I'm directing the top of the plant to the side first and then let it follow the edges of the pot/bag. 2 (SLH#1 & JH) are now at the edge and I'm directing them along the edge.
Oh! Almost forgot. Had black aphids (zwarte bonen luizen). My god the whole garden is filled with them. So I put the plants on a plank with 4 large screws facing down. Than greased the screws in with Vaseline. Now the ants cannot enter the bags and milk the lice. Removed the lice with a brush and water with Neem/soap. Fingers crossed they'll stay away...
That's it for now. Cheers!
26th of June
Nice weather, aphids coma and are removed by me. My kids placed some lady bugs on them. Hope they hade a good meal and cleaned the plants up.
Every now and then mushrooms come up. I don't think the soil is too wet.
The plant with the Plagron soils still is a bit greener, but the other SLH is bigger in de Pokon vegetable compost. I thinks it's a seed thing, not a soil thing.
It looks like pre-flowering because all 4 plants are showing pistils. I hope they will grow bigger to get a bit more yield. Right now I have per plant 3 side branches ready to grow upwards to form cola's. Including the main tip of the plant.
That's it for now. Happy growing and love,

3rd of July,
Weather is sunny most of the week. Just a few rainy days. I'm pulling down longer branches for more spread. Black bean gnats seem to be gone. Even on the other plants in our garden.
So the Jack Herer is really killing it. And she'w flowering! Defenately seeing some pistils. I think the SLH's are at their beginning of flowering. What a difference Jack Herer compared to the SLH's. Is it genetics, is it pot size?! A combination? Interesting stuff. Oh, the Plagron soil still seems to give greener leaves, but SLH2 also seems really healthy is is growing a tad quicker.
Thank you for checking my diary. Feel free to give a commment!
Cheers,
StealthyDutchGuy
Almost forgot! Going on vacation, will be back in 2 weeks. Quite confident the dippers and Biotabs will do their job 💪 Stay tuned!
26st of July
Came home from vacation, and oh my!! The Jack Herer had exploded!! Also the SLH's went sky high 😁
There are 2 MASSIVE cola's on the JH, first time I see these huge cola's on an autoflower. Last week temperatures have risen to about 30 Celcius. The buds don't look fluffy at this moment. I hope that the temperature doesn't go as high as 30 Celcius again upcoming weeks.
I'm a happy camper with these plants. I do hope the SLH's will thicken up upcoming weeks but they look 'super' nice... 😉
SLH #1 = 64 cm
Jack Herer = 48 cm
SLH #2 = 68 cm
31st of July,
Going good! SLH's are fattening up, JH IS already fat and I'm checking the trichomes to see if she's done. Mostly cloudy trich's, so maybe wednesdaymoring she'll be harvested 💖 and hung to dry.
I moved them towards the back of our garden where I placed a tarp to keep them dry. Today and tomorro there'll be rain and I didn't want to take the risk of getting mold in the last few days. That's it for now. Thanks for checking my diary 👍
Love,

6th of August,
Tomorrow would be week 12, This morging at about 7:00 I harvested Super Lemonhaze #2. I think she might started being a hermafroudite? Check the last picture. At every internode on the plant she developed these balls. I'm guessing male flowers. Please let me know your thought!
I budwashed every bud/cola. Oh man, this time it was definitively rewarding. Check those black partially dissolving insect poopies in the buckets.
Right now they are hanging in my drying cabinet with a filter in it for not causing any troubles 😉.
Super curious how the vape/smoke will turn out. Oh, the trichomes where mostly white, some yellow and also some transparant. I thought this morning would be a good day to harvest her because it's a scorpio day according to the moon cycle and these days are good for harvesting herbs.
Will definitively make a report when dried, cured and vaped. So this might take a while. But be shure I'll do this; check my other diary's 👍💪.
Now I've got one Jack Herer and another Super Lemon Haze Auto in the garden. Will create a week/harvest for these as well. I didn't take the effort of weighing the wet buds. Putting them on a plate and weighing seems a bit too much effort.... hahaha, I'm lazy, yes, I know....
What have I learned from this grow? Good question, thank you for asking. Well, I'm thinking that maybe next grow I'll put all plants into 16L bags. The Jack Herer is so much more 'bulkier' than the other SLH's.... but it could still be a genetic thing. And also 3 Biotabs instead of 2 in the 12L bags. Again, let me know your thoughts on this one. Oh, and putting the seedlings in a small bucket/container and after a week or so moving them in their final container didn't have seen to disturb the growth.
Stay tuned!

This morning I got up at 5:00 am and harvested SLH#1! I'v been monitoring the trichomes like every day now and she seems perfect! Dash of ambers and the rest milky and a very little transparant. I harvested them the same way as noted above (including bud-washing). I'll just put up some pictures of the trichomes the day before harvest. This plant had more weight and had a bit of a stronger smell. Love it!
I think this plant got a bit bigger due to having a bit more nutrients in the soil. Next time maybe put 3 Biotabs inside, or supplement the last weeks with Biobizz Bloom. Did that with my previous grow (Grapefruit and OG Kush CBD Dinafem).
Stay tuned for the vape report
7th of August
Plants seem happy, SLH#1 is still getting thicker. Cannot see Jack fattening up anymore. Will keep an eye on the trichomes upcoming week. Maybe harvest this week 😍. Smell of the SLH is fruity, just like the other one. JH's smell is fruity/flowery. Interesting smell, nice.
Caterpillars seem to nibble the fan leaves. I'm ok with that. I'm quite sure they create the black poopies which look like 'hagelslag', a the famous Dutch chocolate sprinkles people put on their bread 😄.
Weather for upcoming week seems very cannabis-friendly. up to 27 Celcius, oh accept for the nights, these are around 12 Celcius. Anyway, still great for finishing flowering...
Stay tuned for the next updat. Love,
StealthyDutchGuy
14th of August
Cola's keep getting bigger 😱. Wasn't expecting this. Especially the SLH is fattening up more. I've been checking trichomes and they are milkey, some transparant and the leaves contain some yellow trichomes. Not sure when I will harvest the plants. I thought I'd harvest them tomorrow morning, but I think they've got too little yellow trich's. But it seems that both plants are still putting out new, white hairs
Weather has been around 30 Celcius last week. Tuesday there'll be rain.
Wish I could talk to the plant and ask 'are you ready for harvest?'. Like Swami does. Tried it, but not sure how to listen. Any tips? I think I know when the moment is there.... Stay tuned!
Love,
StealthyDutchGuy

Got up at 5:00 and harvested JH. Started with the ridiculously big cola and... bud rot!! 😱Removed it, thankfully the other branches didn't have it. My lesson for the next autoflower round: don't prune or just a little. It went well with the SLH but JH just pumps out MEGA cola's which are prone to mold. But it wasn't very high humidity, perhaps last few days. I've put the disease on 'normal' because of my bad on the pruning. But be warned, thinner cola's = less mold!
Smell is really nice but not really different from other cannabis plants. Despite the mold I'm guessing this is the biggest yielder. Stay tuned for the definite weight.
Oh, did budwash them, but not a lot of stuff coming out. Water turned out quite clean.
Oh, did she go 'foxtailing' on me? I think it looks like it, but never dove into the foxtailing thing. Let me know if you have any ideas!
That's it for now. Stay tuned!
