Zamnesia Northern Lights : Outdoor

1 dead seed, 1 seed that grew upside down with a poorly developed root, but I have my 3 hoped-for seedlings! The week has been hot and dry, I covered the seedlings to keep a little more moisture until today. They are strong enough to withstand the weather for the next week, up to 37°C in the shade expected. glad to see them in my garden 😊 peace for the Ukrainians and the Russian soldiers 🙏

Not much to say this week, outside it grows at its own pace under the almost daily sun and often 30°C. A little more humidity than last week, which seems to do them good. I'm going to be away soon, I'm going to set up a very basic drip system, hoping that it will be enough 🙏

my 3 outdoor plants are enjoying the intense sunshine again this week! the royal mix is starting to get depleted; I added some guano pearls and watered a lot. 3 days later, the promised "whip effect" proved to be effective: the larger one has grown 14cm in 1 week! For the next 2 weeks, as I have to go away, they will have to be satisfied with a little bit of terra bloom. it's a bit early I know, but I will have a light hand. See you in 2 weeks! ✋

back from 2 weeks of holidays, a lot of apprehension in mind with the DIY self watering... and well, no bad surprise, quite the contrary! the 3 plants are standing, their strecth done during my absence, having gained more than 150% in height! from 20cm to 48cm for the biggest the first pistils also appeared very recently, I will be present for all the flowering; the only small drawback, their stems and branches a little weak, since they did not undergo wind during the stretch, I preferred to keep them under cover. But don't worry, a big bamboo stake and exposure to the wind from today, they will quickly get stronger. They had a big watering at Terra Bloom, curious to see their development this week 👍

since they were a bit frail, I preferred an LST even if it seems useless outdoors; besides strengthening them, it will allow me to better control them and hide them from view in one week, the stems have grown a lot; I double the dose of Terra Bloom, almost to the maximum dose, especially as the royal mix is obviously worn out. one thing to watch out for: the little white spots on the leaves; maybe thrips, spiders, or just a little deficiency, I'll get out the diagnostic tools tomorrow 😏

outside, things go at their own pace with the LST, the plants are under control, only 5cm more this week. they each get 1.5l with Terra Bloom twice a week, they are not greedy yet. the white spots on the leaves are not the work of parasites, I did not find any; having doubled the Terra Bloom this week I notice an improvement, and undoubtedly the rather high temperature of the soil is not foreign; the pots are black and in the sun, I will cover them with white The head sites are well defined, I can't see these Northern Lights turning into a big unobtrusive bush; I have enough to do with that indoors at the moment... 😅 (see "NL 1st autopots")

After weeks of suffocating heat, the climate is returning to normal, with several degrees less day and night and more humidity; we can breathe, and so can the girls. 🙏 a modest gain in size this week, the girls are concentrating on their buds: the resin has appeared, even before the pistils turn brown; they seem to be in a hurry to finish their run! I was hoping for small plants to harvest just after my 2 indoor, to give me a little bonus on my harvest, but apparently they will finish their run first, even though I started them 3 weeks later. these are my girls. 😊 no more worries about the white spots on the leaves; still no pests under the magnifying glass, and a clear improvement with the increase in nutrients and the clearer pot covers. I was hoping for 10g per plant; I'm still cautious but I want to believe that they will give me 50g together 👌

Summer is over... 😎 Daytime temperatures stabilise around 22-23°, at night 15-16°. Less light, more wind and humidity: the girls give everything in the buds & resin : the leaves do not grow any more, but do not start to fade for all that. Senescence should not be too far off ; I am keeping the nutrient programme going until the first signs of senescence.

The week started with heavy storms and big rainfalls... the girls are back in the tent 😊 I took out my 60x60x160 tent, a Samsung 85w bulb LED and transferred my Garpsen bars (70w together) from my big tent. It's a bit light as lighting, but looking at the trichos end of the week (and the intense smell in the tent...) I think it's time to start flushing. They got a final half dose of nutrients at the beginning of the week and a very lil haircut, I'll flush them by tomorrow. Can't wait to see what they produce; I'd say between 35 and 45 together, hoping for a better surprise 🙏

after only 10 1/2 weeks, ready for harvesting 👌 they could have matured for another 1 or 2 weeks but I would like to have a high effect here as well, my insides ones will give me the stone. result for the 3 girls in 3 litre pots: 153g wet. Dry result in 10 days, and surely a first impatient smoke test 😏 Even if they didn't suffer from pest attacks, it was impossible to avoid the little ones and their eggs from sticking to the leaves and buds; I did a buds washing to get rid of them.
