Week 2: A Battle with Nature
In the thrilling saga of Week 2, Golden faced the wrath of Mother Nature herself. Unforeseen challenges descended upon the lush garden, orchestrated by the relentless high winds that swept through. The fierce gusts took the ladies by surprise, laying them flat, their delicate stems perilously snapped.
Undaunted, Golden sprang into action, propping up the fallen beauties with popsicle sticks, devising an ingenious fence that would serve as both protection against the unforgiving elements and a foundation for their ascent.
As the wind's fury raged on, the drama unfolded:
#1, the most impacted, bore the brunt of Mother Nature, its stem weakened and is in need of a heroic recovery.
#2, though struck hard, found solace in the steadfast garden sticks and will embark on a remarkable journey towards restoration.
#3 emerged as the true champion, boasting impressive growth, albeit with a subtle hint of nutrient deficiency, igniting curiosity about her response to upcoming feedings.
#4, the resilient survivor, endured both bug attacks and a heart-wrenching fall, raising concerns about the impact on her growth trajectory.
#5 shone as the dark horse, displaying remarkable promise and a photogenic allure, poised to rival #3 in the race to greatness.
In a bold move, Golden introduced Mycorrhizal Fungi into the mix, hoping to fuel accelerated growth in the weeks ahead. Neem oil continued to be the ladies' protective shield, ensuring their well-being in the face of adversity.
This gripping tale of cultivation camaraderie beckons the green-thumbed community to join in the journey. As you've made it this far, don't forget to leave a like and share your thoughts. Together, we celebrate the indomitable spirit of growth and resilience! 🌱💪🌿
The ladies are looking strong! I had the stretch a bit at one point as well but it worked out.
If you don’t mind me asking, where are you roughly, that it’s 70 degrees and you can grow them outside? I love outside growing though the bugs can be a pain I still like it. Have you grown this strain before?
Hey @Ms_Bloomie, thanks for the questions.
I’m very far down in the southern hemisphere. We’re expecting summer solstice (and flowering to begin) around 23 December.
On average over the last week it’s been about 70 degrees. I’m expecting temperatures up to 89 degrees on certain days around January.
Bugs can be troublesome at times, but I’ve found neem oil diluted with some water in a spray bottle keeps them at bay. I try to spray them twice a week in veg. How do you deal with the bugs especially during flower?
I’ve never grown this strain before but really hoping she shows some of her orange hues during flower. How did you deal with the stretch?
@Golden, Ich konnte mir ihre Geschichte bildlich vorstellen. Etwas dick aufgetragen, ja aber gut. Mir gefällt es. In der Woche vorher war es etwas sachlicher.

I was going to ask where could this be that it's 70 degrees right now!! Even in Texas they are getting some cool weather. I enjoy your story-telling so much I look forward to coming back and keeping up with your girls!
@bigolebuds, Well that’s very kind of you sir. I’m far down in the southern hemisphere. I’m already expecting temperatures to sore to the high 70s/low 80s in the coming months. Wish you and myself luck for the heat - Golden 🌞🔥
