Outdoor '23 - 4 fast flowering photos

Cherry Pie Fast and Erdpurt germinated and planted in 2nd week of May

Alien Candy Kush Fast and High Voltage Fast germinated and planted in small pots 3rd week of April and transplanted to 3L pot after week 1 2 on the right are Pakistan Chitral Kush, germinated 6, only 2 survived and didnt look great either. I direct sowed them in soil, normally i always germinate in a wet paper towel with high success, ill be back to doing only that.

from left to right: Alien candy kush, High voltage, PCK, PCK, Erdpurt, Cherry Pie. In the previous week i started to suspect both PCK to be male, so i germinated 2 new seeds. The last 2 are only in their 1st week in this picture White powder on the leaves is diatomaceous earth for pest prevention

week 8 for the alien candy kush and the high voltage, other 2 are in week 5, the mutation in the Erdpurt is coming back. When germinating the first 2 internodes had 3 branches, after that the plant went back to 2 but now its converting back to 3 branches, this is going to be a bushy girl! Started to give a weekly dose of compost tea and another with neem powder 1ml/L.

The Erdpurt and the Cherry Pie where repotted about a week ago from their 11L to their final pot. The Alien Candy Kush and the High Voltage went to a 20L pot 3 weeks ago and this week went into their final 90L pot. As you can see the big pots have basil and cilantro as companion plants, im planning on adding more later, marigolds are on the list and already growing close by too. I always prefer to have the soil covered with a layer of mulch to preserve water and prevent the top layer of soil to dry out quickly. I started to slightly bend 3 of the girls to open up the canopy a bit and stimulate branches growing more. Since week 1 i am using LST to bend out the branches more horizontal. The Erdpurt is actually starting to make more white hairs, yes it looks like the flowering is already starting on this girl! I selected all 4 for their supposed early flowering but to see a plant starting to flower in June is a 1st for me. The big pots are filled with a living soil mixture which i composed myself after watching and reading much info on the subject. You can see the soil ingredients in the diary, what is not included in that list is the single amendment ingredients like Kelp, Rock dust, etc etc. Since i didnt have enough time this year to dig larger holes for these girls i went with 90L pots. My final setup im working towards is to have 3 large inground pots of probably about 600L each. You can see in 1 of the pics there are other girls growing next to these in a large 2000L+ inground hugelculture living soil pot, 1st year now growing in that and some of the autos are out of this world over 1.60m heigh and stems of over 1 inch thick. It currently has 15 autoflowers growing in it which is a bit much tbh so next round ill probalby go with 11 and see how that goes. I wanted to put all plants in 1 diary but unfortunately growdiaries only allows 8 plants per topic, at least if you want to connect all the names to the diary. For now ill first make this diary of photo synthesis plants, maybe i decide to make 2 diaries for the autos as well. Currently the auto bed has: 8 thc plants, 4 CBD and 3 CBD/THC hybrids.
