Outdoor Lemon Kush ScrOG

Germination on 24th of april All seeds were soaked for 12 hours and later transplanted in 0,5 liter pots. Filled with coco mixed 5:1 with sand. After 1 week in the smal pots the plats were transferred into 3 L containers. Filled with Coco, potting soil, bonemeal and mycorizzhae. Topped with coco shredding as mulch

2nd of may The girls are loving the lamp and doing great

Everything going to plan, Next update after transplant to final destination

2nd of June Today was the first time I visited the plants after they were planted into the soil. That was on May 31 Last time I dug a big hole for every plant, say 150 Liter and mixed in bonemeal, lavameal, lava split 5 %, compost 30%. The photo was taken on June 2

22nd of june Fimmed her this time after i topped her at my last visit, aiming to get a nice round bush of buds. Still no watering since transplant

13th of July It's an amazing sunny and warm summer this far with very little rain, time for a drink, haircut and a shorter skirt

30th July Girls are getting thirsty forst sight of flowers, She was caged today with a custom setup 2 metal rings 1 big and 1 small, with a wide mesh bird net across.these were hanged from the original support pole

August 13th What can i say, Let's pray She makes it al the way

August 21 th This plant keeps amazing me every time I work with it. Really stretching and stacking up now Its been the 3rd time growing it but this year I have this pheno which is exceptionally early. I grew a few others that started a week or 2 later

August 28th A lot of water again, she gets water weekly btw not daily, total of aprox 150 liter every time, hose for 1,5 hours Few handfulls of ThomasKali was added for bloom

3rd of September, Still drinking buckets and buckets Really fattening up now, Rain is expected next week, off course! Big showers and thundrrstorms She needs another trim soon for good airflow during the wet days

Sept 5th Just Wow, Hoping she makes it through the thunderstorms thats to come. Did a little pruning to max airflow and try prevent mould

Sept 10th She was ankered to the fence with rope. Notthing to report really. Looking great no sign of mould. Heads are yellow looking. Pretty bizarre. From a distance its is really striking...does'nt show in pictures sadly She is next up for defoliation, together with Killer Kush. Few more days rain till sunny period..fingers crossed. Happy growing everyone

17 sept. Please let there be sunshine, Mould had been spotted mainly in the northern part of the plant. Rain had been pouring down for nearly a week and air humidity was around 80-90 % Plants are way to far in their flower cycle for these kind of showers and you can see it has taken its toll. Pistils are turning brown and buds need to be checked every other day to stop mold from spreading. She still needs a week more maybe 2 if weather allows it, but she will be chopped before the next rainy days. I will lose a part of the harvest to mould weekly but for me the maturation of the harvest is more important than the quantitity. As you can see there are plenty of buds left that still have chance of maturing. Harvesting now would be a shame. Simply hoping for some dry warm days for her to swell and put on some weight.

21 september She is really close. Weather forecast is pretty good the last part of this week. She has 3 or 4 more sunny days to go. After that she will be harvested in steps. Big first, bottom second. Probably couple of days in between. Same process for all my plants. MAROC was also harvested like this during the past week. It was a tense few weeks with all the rain we had. I had to cut out some buds to keep mould from taking over but i managed to keep the damage under control. Biggest surprise was that fungi now grow underneath the plant as well, not just in the buds😅 Lovely sight to see!!

What a joy this grow has been. She was a real beauty. Absolute joy to grow...strong branches but she likes to stretch a lot. I knew wat to expect. I have grown Lemon Kush outdoors 3 times. The scrog this year was the perfect solution. I will not grow her again outdoors. This was my first time to see her finish. Seeing her flower this year, she just needs the warmth in the end. The climate here rarely offers that. I must say the dense flowers are amazing also size and yield is incredible. Update about that later. Trichomes were underdeveloped. I had to harvest early because of mould. The last 3 weeks of flower the temperatures were very low 10-15 C daytime and very very wet. I believe this stunted the plants. They made a full stop in development and exploded again in the last week. 3 days of sun did more than the 2 weeks before. Weather forecast were bad so big buds were harvested 25 september. We eventually had more sun than expected and bottom half was left until 2 october. That week made sooo much difference!! Those bottom buds finally developed some nice trichomes and turned purple. Of course I wish the big buds could have enjoyed the sunshine during that last week as well. Most of you will know, being an outdoor grower...Every year is about compromises. This year was so hot during growth and cold and wet in bloom that mould was unstoppable. After all I am very pleased with this grow and cant wait to taste some of this. Probably needs al long cure though to bring back that lemon scent. Almost seems like all that the rain washed the scent right off her😪 Keep growing y'all!
