German balkony 2023

GermanGrow182 After germination, straight into the final pots. They've made their way to the light. Now it's time to grow.

GermanGrow182 The automatics: fat banana are all growing evenly and the same size. Sweet zz are growing 3/5 like the fat banana, 2 are smaller, growing slower and a bit deformed, but with some time, they usually catch up. The feminized: 1/3 critical is growing normally, 1 seedling was eaten by soil organisms but is still fighting for survival, and 1 hasn't germinated. So now it's 2/3. Special queen #1 has disappointed in germination rate. As bonus seeds, they should germinate better than 2/5... the two that did germinate were also nibbled by soil organisms, one made it, one is still struggling. Like last year, I showed a few bagseeds again. 2 seeds from my last year's Northeim lights auto and 3 from last year's fat banana auto. Let's see what happens.... I love surprises, I'm expecting that the ruderalis genes won't prevail and they'll turn out to be year-round. They will be kept small. I want to test if you can do something with seeds from autos.. So far, the weather is cooperating (that's the main thing) and warm, sunny days are supposed to come. That's how it should be. Until next week :)

GermanGrow182 It's going. They're growing... 2 feminized ones are still fighting for survival. The weather has been changeable, but warm enough. Next week they should be noticeably bigger. We'll see...

GermanGrow182 Super spring weather. Plenty of sun 6/7 days. The autoflowering plants are growing well, a few are a bit slower than others, but overall good. Critical fem. is coming along slowly and relatively small; I've given up hope that the little Special Queen #1 will turn into a decent plant, it will probably be replaced soon... the 2 Northern Lights (bagseeds) are doing well, the Fat Banana is very slow, probably nibbled on by soil organisms again... but whatever, soon the second run for this summer will join in.

GermanGrow182 The weather last week was changeable, but not cold. Everyone has visibly gained mass. The first autos are big enough to start LST. To my surprise, the special queen is still alive and has even grown a bit bigger. So she is (still) not gone... The weather is supposed to be sunny and warm. Very good. I hope they continue to gain nicely during the growth phase. Until next week, ✌️

GermanGrow182 Hello growmies, had a good week, weather was okay, Not too hot, 2 days rain ,the girls started preflowerring and Stretching. Every two days, i adjust the lst, most Autos respond well.the critical finally starts growing better, since she Gained size. The special queen #1 Shows her will to survive and pushen the next pair of leaves. One nla x ??? Showed male Ball sacks after just 29 days.i guess it had ruderalis genes, cause this was fast. The Otter nla x ??? Started branching, so she got lst too. The beds for my second run are prepaired, i'll start another diary for that one. So check up next week. So far, so Goodyear.see ya next week.✌️

GermanGrow182 Very good last week in the vegetative stage, all fat banana autos have gone from pre-flowering to main flowering after proper stretching. The sweet zz are still in pre-flowering and growing taller. The little special queen has pulled herself together and is really starting now. Good thing I didn't give up hope... the one northern lights auto x??? I topped it. It's supposed to get bushy. See you next week ✌️ good weather to all outdoor friends!

GermanGrow182 Last Sunday, the second nla x ??? showed male genitalia and had to go. The other feminized ones are growing well now. Special queen #1 is hopefully kicking off now and reaching some size in the vegetative phase, critical fem was topped and bent 5 days ago to keep it low and well-branched. Everything is going great with the autos. 5 banana - 5 different phenos. The Sweet zz is still in pre-flowering and is stretching nicely. 1, 2, and 3 are growing big and branching out. Should have an impact on the yield 😁. So far, so good. The weather is going to be unstable for a while, hope the girls make the best of it... see you next week ✌️

GermanGrow182 First very changeable and windy, then getting warmer and plenty of sunshine. Except for sweet zz #1, all autos are in the main flowering stage. The fat banana autos are all about two and a half weeks further along in flowering. The biggest banana has gifted me two branches with triple clown. So three instead of two branches per node. They already smell fruity, sweet, earthy... the purple phenos are insane. Thick flower clusters and crazy trichome production... these are going to be some really thick buds. Since the weather is getting sunny and hot, they can soak up the energy in abundance, which they love. Good thing there's always wind on the balcony. This way, overheating won't happen so quickly. So, run 1 is going great. See you next week ✌️

GermanGrow182 Super week, every day sunshine. You can see it too. The buds of the bananas are swelling, the first (3+5) will be ready first. They are already heavy and dripping with resin...very aromatic. 2/3 of the trichomes are already milky. The sweet zz 2,3,4 are in week 3 of flowering, number 1 has just started. It's growing super well and has the most branches. Number 5, the smallest at 27cm, is ahead of her sisters, in week 3 of flowering. The critical is fully in growth. It has responded well to topping and training and is branching out as planned. The special queen #1 is growing slowly, but it is growing. It probably could only form weak roots. I topped it to encourage a bit more growth. Let's see, it still has 5 to 7 weeks to grow. Everything is going great, see you next week ✌️

GermanGrow182 The weather was good, only rain once, 3 fat bananas are in the drying room, the other two will join them in the next few days. They're almost done. The buds are developing as they should, No. 5 is already fading... special queen is slowly coming along. Topping was the right decision. Critical is branching very well 👍. LST is working. Next week the first harvest report will come... I'm excited. See you next Friday ✌️

GermanGrow182 The weather was consistently changeable, but not too cold. The last bananas were able to ripen without molding. Thanks to the steady wind on the balcony --> success. The sweet zz Auto one to four are growing without issues despite some minor pest problems, which resolved themselves. They are forming fat colas, as big as liter bottles.. I hope there’s no bud mold when they get denser towards the end.. The critical is responding well to training and after 3 days of bad weather and adjustment, she’s happily continuing on. The special queen was brought into line with LST and is doing her thing, just as she should. It’s going well 👍 until next week ✌️

GermanGrow182 I'm satisfied. I wanted the first 3 bananas without amber. The last two with a lot of amber. Almost 2 weeks make the difference with this strain.

GermanGrow182 It has rained every day, but none of my 5 almost ripe plants show any signs of mold. Even the fat main buds from zz are perfectly healthy. I estimate that the zz need at least another 2 weeks to finish. Number 1 is the biggest at almost 84 cm. Number 5 is the smallest at 39 cm. The little one started flowering first and is just about done. Trichomes are 99% milky, but no amber yet... Good thing the weather is supposed to get better again. They need sun and wind now. The photoperiodic ones: after 88 days, the critical has an acceptable span of 70 cm at a height of about 55 cm with 8 good tops + 8 smaller ones. The special queen now has about 50 cm span at a height of 48 cm. Both are growing well and have another 4 weeks until flowering should start. It's going pretty well. The first 5 bananas have brought in about 96g dry. See you next week ✌️

GermanGrow182 6 von 7 Tagen Regen. Sweet zz 4 hatte einen schimmel Spot an der hauptblüte. Alle anderen kommen klar. Trotz noch fetterer buds. Critical wächst. Jetzt erstmal ein paar Tage Sonne. Bald sind die zz fertig. Trichome noch milchig, fast kein amber. Bis nächste Woche ✌️

GermanGrow182 It was a good week. On day 96, I harvested 4 sweet zz Auto. One is still in full bloom since it started flowering later, so it still needs some time. Critical feminized is doing its thing and growing. I trained it so that it can now grow until flowering. Special queen is doing the same. It's going well. See you next week ✌️

GermanGrow182 The week was nice and sunny. Critical and Special Queen started flowering on day 105. The last Sweet ZZ won't take much longer either.. I'm enjoying her delicious sisters already... run1 is going well. See you next week ✌️

GermanGrow182 Bad weather. Rain every day, around 12-17°C. Sweet zz auto1 is finally done. It's being defoliated and harvested tomorrow.. critical and special queen have entered flowering and are blooming 🙂 next week better weather is supposed to come. A lot more sun. Until then ✌️

GermanGrow182 I'm very satisfied. 4 out of 5 delivered great. 831g, with 4 having a wet harvest weight of 200g is 30% above my expectations 🤩 this strain will be grown again!

GermanGrow182 Finally some sunshine again...the first autos are dry and have delivered well. Just in time for the flowering of the feminized, a sunny week came with the first cool nights. I hope the weather stays as good as last year until the end of October. See you next week ✌️

GermanGrow182 Good week, nice weather. Partly over 25°C, just a bit of rain now and then. Both are blooming well. See you next week ✌️

GermanGrow182 Everything is growing as it should. Good week, the weather has cooperated. Up to 22 °C, hardly any rain. I will have two days of changeable weather now, then back to nice late summer. It's going well, nothing is moldy. See you next week ✌️

GermanGrow182 Nice weather, warm temperatures, and not too cold nights yet... no mold, flowers are growing and have formed good trichomes. I did some supercropping on the critical to compare, she has recovered and the buds have aligned on the bent branches. Everything is still going pretty well. Until next week ✌️

GermanGrow182 Another beautiful autumn week. Good sun, little rain, mild nights... no problems. Critical is the first to approach the finish line. The fading of the fan leaves has begun. Special Queen still needs at least 2, if not 3 weeks, to be close to done. Both have gained a lot of flower mass and trichomes last week. The smell is already strong, especially in the morning. It's going well. Until next week ✌️

GermanGrow182 The weather was mild, but not very sunny. Two out of 7 days of rain, the nights are getting cooler, and the humidity is rising. It's autumn. The critical is just about to finish, my gut tells me one more week. Special queen needs another two weeks, she's still pushing out new buds. No mold, no mildew. The two ladies are still successfully holding up against the weather. It's going well. Until next week ✌️

GermanGrow182 I'm satisfied. Despite initial difficulties likely caused by animal pests in the root system, it hasn't grown as big this year. But the buds are full, compact, resinous, fragrant, and mature. Next year I'll try the auto variety.

GermanGrow182 Very nice growth, easy to train. The buds swell up nicely towards the end, so mold could attack during rainy weather and cold nights. I would have liked to leave them for another week, but the cold autumn weather doesn't allow that anymore. Super fruity, spicy smell. I'm excited for the smoke...
