FrenchxFarmer63 Here’s the start of the adventure!!!!
1. Preparing the soil with a nettle mulch as well as a cow manure mulch
2. Tiller
3. Planting the 8 young plants,
Just a reminder:
*4 Black Domina (1 in a pot for testing),
*2 Purple,
*2 Big Bud, all feminized from #Sensi Seeds
4. Topping the apex
5. LST after 4 days
6. Abundant watering with water from my stream
7. Adding coffee grounds at the base of the plants
I want to point out that I proceed in an organic way or at least moderately with so-called natural fertilizers that can be found close to our homes, it’s natural and on top of that, it’s free!!

FrenchxFarmer63 Last week was a week of rest!
No stress for these ladies, just watering with water, the sun wasn't out but there was still nice growth despite everything!!
The smell is starting to come through..
Ps:
Today, at the end of week 7, I decide to cut the apices for the 2nd and last time! Also continuing to train these ladies.

FrenchxFarmer63 This week, these ladies have grown quite a bit!!! Right now, I'm very happy with the seeds from #SensiSeeds!
Especially the "Black Domina 0" that's in the pot; the only difference it has compared to its little sisters is that it's closer to the tarp and therefore might get more sun/heat. It has also been less trained, could that be the reason.. ? I don't know.
Still, everyone is doing well, abundant watering with nettle tea every other day, training is still ongoing..
P.S.: As you can see, I patched up the trunk as best as I could because when I tried to bend the branch too much, it broke. The branch seems to be holding up, and I think everything will "stick back together."
It's been a good week 🤘👍

FrenchxFarmer63 It's been a week and a half since I posted any photos due to a lack of time.
It's 8:00 PM, so the sun isn't out, but these ladies are growing quite well. There's a slight issue with the "Black Domina 0"; I think it might be overwatering or underwatering... If you have any thoughts?????
As for the nutrients,
We're still using nettle tea for nitrogen with a mulch of grass clippings, which not only adds nitrogen but also protects against pests and weeds!! Wood ash to keep pests like slugs away and some stream water, here's a little presentation photo!!!
There you go! :-)

FrenchxFarmer63 Hello everyone
I think I'm going to take an overview photo and a video from now on, as these ladies are increasingly forming bushes that are mixing with each other. I'll post some photos if there are special things to see 🙌🤩
Everything is going well, except for the "Black Domina 0" which is slowly recovering from its OVERwatering and iron deficiency...
For the others, they are growing very well. I'm still practicing LST with the so-called secondary branches. There’s starting to be wires everywhere, perfect 😅😁
For the video:
1st Black Domina 1
2nd Purple 2
3rd Big Bud 3
4th Big Bud 4
5th Black Domina 5
6th Purple 6
7th Black Domina 7
For the nutrients,
Still in growth:
.Nettle tea --> Nitrogen
.Grass clippings --> Repellent / Nitrogen
.Wood ash --> Repellent
.Cheap "iron-rich" spray to be sprayed on the leaves of the "Black Domina 0"
If you have any questions or comments, I'm all ears!!
Have a great day

FrenchxFarmer63 This week has been very rich in natural fertilizers and water!!!!
*Cow manure for the various contributions this fertilizer adds over time,
*Coffee grounds,
*Nettle tea,
*Banana peel,
*Wood ash
Watering every day in small amounts to help assimilate all the contributions given.
And here we go, these ladies have taken a growth spurt, I have to keep training them at this stage... They're growing, they're growing!!
We're at the end of July, I'm waiting for the days to shorten for the natural transition to flowering thanks to the night...
I don't know if I should do a heavy defoliation for the lower leaves based on the principle of "Lollipopping," what do you think??
Any opinions?
Any questions?
Anything to say?
It's always interesting to discuss the different growing methods!!

FrenchxFarmer63 Hello everyone,
As you can see, everything is going well, and it's growing more and more...
Big training for the "Black Domina 0", 3 days separate the two photos, everything is good! In great shape :-)
Nothing to report for this week, no progress on the flowering... We're still in the vegetative stage, seeing some close to flowering but it's slight....

FrenchxFarmer63 Hello everyone
Well, this is going to get interesting, interesting and complicated at the same time so that all these future beautiful heads can fit in the greenhouse without touching the tarps 💪😄😄😄
All these ladies are doing wonderfully!!
As a reminder,
Watering 1 to 2 times a week with large amounts of water + nettle tea
Added this week again, cow manure
Also added coffee grounds + A LOT of banana peels!!
You won't see #Black Domina 0 because it was too big and had to be moved outside the greenhouse. I will post more photos in some time
As a reminder, here’s what’s in the greenhouse:
Black do 7
Purple 6
Black do 5
Big bud 4
Big bud 3
Purple 2
Black domina 1
The pre-flowering stage is still ongoing... I think the stretch of the pre-flowering is over... We'll see..
To be continued 🤝🙌🙌🙌

FrenchxFarmer63 Hello everyone,
After taking a little week off, these ladies only had one watering before I left...
I'm amazed that this one is still in "great shape" despite the heat and lack of nutrients!! They've grown even more.. !! So I had to redo some sort of training (Photo before / Photo After).
To give them some pep, as we say around here, I covered the base with a good layer of cow manure that's very rich in nutrients and especially in Nitrogen, along with a big watering to ensure all the nutrients can reach the roots 👍👍👍
The pre-flowering stage is still somewhat present, but no flowers are appearing... On any of the plants...
If you have any comments, I'm all ears!!
To be continued!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

FrenchxFarmer63 Hello everyone
As you can see, nothing to report for this week, just two big waterings. It's been about 50 degrees in the greenhouse for the past 4 days, but with a good bucket of water in one corner, it doesn't pose any problem for them!!!
I'm still in pre-flowering.... For now, the transition to flowering is really light except for the "Black Domina 0" and yes, the comeback... She's doing very well, but since she's isolated elsewhere, I can't take a full photo of her...
As for nutrients,
Banana peels all around and coffee grounds. I want to point out that at the end of last week, a significant watering was done with cow manure; this fertilizer is natural, free, and very rich in nutrients!!!
I think I will stop providing nitrogen for next week to force "a little" the transition to flowering.
Have a great weekend!!!!!!

FrenchxFarmer63 Hello everyone,
We can say that the flowering has now started for these ladies, some are still a bit behind, I would say they are in pre-flowering, but it's progressing! The days are getting shorter, so the nights are arriving earlier in the day. However, I don't know why they are not all at the same level... Last week I wanted to stop the nitrogen supply, but I see there are significant deficiencies, so I'm going back to producing nettle tea, which I will continue to provide in smaller quantities over the coming weeks to eliminate these deficiencies... The smell is strong now, really strong.. 🙌😄
I continue the training / LST every 2 to 3 days, and it’s becoming more and more complicated, but I love it! 😂🍀
I've added wood ash at the base of these ladies and continue to provide them with banana peels in abundance!!!
I plan to provide more photos this week, hoping that the nitrogen supplied will have a real impact to spare these deficiencies.
Also, a little update on the Black Domina 0, which is doing wonderfully outside with a very nice start to flowering!! Yooooupiii
There you go! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

FrenchxFarmer63 Hello everyone!!
Last week, after criticizing the nitrogen supply for these ladies, especially and notably for Black Domina 1 and Black Domina 7, this week I prepared them a nettle manure potion that might be a bit too strong.... The nitrogen deficiency is present and will be resolved, but I think the supply I gave them might have burned their leaves.... What reassures me is that it's only the "old" leaves. Starting tomorrow, I will "rinse" them abundantly with clear stream water without any additional supply. Hoping it will do them good!!!!!!!!
As for the rest, Black Domina 0 is doing well despite the similar problems her sisters had earlier during the first weeks of growth (I think the Black Domina variety is quite fragile, but that's just my humble opinion....)
The Big Buds are exploding! And the Purples are very slow to come... Otherwise, everything seems to be going pretty well overall!
Supply for the ladies this week:
Black Domina 1 and 7:
Rich nettle manure + wood ash + banana peel + coffee grounds*
For the rest: wood ash + banana peel + coffee grounds*
* I now put the coffee grounds in a big bucket of water so that it mixes better during watering. I think it's more easily assimilable by the plants.
My fertilizers:
Nitrogen --> Nettle manure // Coffee grounds
Phosphorus --> Wood ash (barbecue 😁🙌😋)
Potassium --> Banana peel
General NPK --> Cow manure
Have a great day everyone!!!

FrenchxFarmer63 Hello everyone!
Sad news this week, my first plant "Black Domina 1" was lacking nitrogen last week, added some this week, overwatered on my part... + got hit by spider mites that I hadn't seen.... So I decided to remove this plant to not disturb the rest of the other plants.......
After removing this plant, I started treating the others! With a spray bottle containing water, lemon juice, and Marseille black soap concentrate, these are natural repellents. On top of that, I will water my greenhouse every day to keep a higher humidity level because these pests really don't like humidity; they thrive in dry heat!!!
Be careful,
In addition to increasing the humidity in my greenhouse, I used a tip from my grandmother, yes yes, my grandmother, to suffocate the spider mites. It's recommended to burn coffee; the smell released would be very unpleasant for these nasty little bugs!!! Watch out, it's smoky!!!! (sorry for the poor video quality)
Aside from that, the rest of the crew keeps progressing, the buds are getting bigger and more defined, the smell is just incredible... AND I continue to train the branches!!! 😂 (LST🙌)
I'll show you my homemade fertilizers in the last photos (Wood ash + Coffee grounds)
Have a good evening everyone!

FrenchxFarmer63 Hello everyone,
I'm back after a week away, I can't seem to publish all my photos and presentation videos...
After going on vacation for a week, I left my ladies with a friend, but unfortunately, that week turned out to be VERY problematic!!!! Following my red spider mites from the week before (the coffee smoke worked really well, I have none left!!!) However, it was time for the caterpillars!!!!! After looking online, my friend took care of it by spraying white vinegar and water all over the greenhouse, so far so good, the problem is that the water/vinegar mix was 50/50 while the internet recommends 10% vinegar to 90% water... Moreover, he sprayed this solution on the plants as well.... This caused all the buds to "dry out," the acidity of the vinegar harmed all the plants, the pH of the plants took a serious hit.... After rinsing thoroughly +++++++++ there is some improvement but unfortunately, they took quite a beating... We'll see how to recover as best as possible moving forward, if you have any ideas I'm all ears.
Problem encountered: acidity on leaves so brown and dry leaves
Aside from that, the Black Domina 0 is doing wonderfully, even today after 3 days of rain, outdoors, everything is fine!!!

FrenchxFarmer63 Hello everyone,
I want to greatly thank the Jury for the #SensiSeeds contest for finishing 2nd in the "Summer Cup" competition.
It's already been 24 weeks, with a lot of ups and some downs... spider mites, caterpillars, white vinegar.....
The Black Domina 0 is coming through unscathed with beautiful buds, I'm still confident about the rest of the grow in the greenhouse, even though the taste will be heavily impacted... Unfortunately... Maybe I'm wrong, we'll see in the coming weeks. This week’s nutrients were heavy on wood ash, strong on banana peels cut into small pieces (and yes, everyone at home was FORCED to eat bananas 😋😂😂😂😂) and I also added some grass clippings to bring a bit of greenery to my badly damaged leaves. Some will say that nitrogen should be removed, but I think the grass clippings won't do much harm. I believe this will be the last feeding for these ladies, and it's time for one to two weeks of abundant water flushing. The days are starting to get cooler, so it's time to start cutting, EXCEPT for the buds that haven't "exploded" yet, as shown in the photos where you can see the nice white filaments and small buds...
My videos AND some photos haven't been displaying for two weeks, I have a tab that shows up... I contacted the GrowDiaries support but haven't heard back from them, maybe a bug...
There you go, if you have any opinions, questions, or anything else, I'm all ears!!!

FrenchxFarmer63 And here we are in week 25,
The beginning of the harvest, 1400 grams of buds from the Black Domina in the greenhouse, partially harvested, the plant isn't fully harvested, it's crazy!!!
I'll let you check out the photos, all the photos!!!! The quality isn't great, but what I can say is that the plants from #SensiSeeds are solid... As I mentioned before, spider mites, caterpillars, vinegar, the plants aren't in top shape, but the quality of an outdoor grow is still there despite everything!
Watering today, more to come next week 🙌
@Le_Duc_Du_Bud, Yes totally!
I think I'm going to cut the main apex again so that they spread out and fully embrace the greenhouse, I'm still thinking...
