5 weeks after sowing.
The plants have started to spread their scent ๐
For the second week in a row we had hot temperatures, Temperatures in the greenhouse : (max. 52,5ยฐC - min. 11.8ยฐC).
Plants are still growing very good. They almost doubled in height each week (smallest : 27cm - biggest : 47 cm)
Still only water.
No pests or diseases. Maybe a small problem with one leaf (see last picture, the small white-grey irregular-shaped spots ). I removed the leaf.
If you have any idea what kind of (probably) animal did this, please tell me :)

pic. 2 : smallest plant
pic. 3 : tallest plant
pic. 4 : the affected leaf
4 plants are indica phenotypes (pic.2). They are already making side branches.
9 plants are hybrid-style phenotypes (pic.3), with almost no side branches.
Usually the situation you described will not cause hermaphroditism by itself.It requires a combination of stress factors.If you got them all in time you should be ok though.
@DaGrowQueen, I am very pleased with your comment. I try my best, and it's very nice to hear from other people that they too enjoy my diary, as I do making it. Keep up the good work yourself. Wish you a happy grow !
@CANNASIM, . The greenhouse will be crowded with sweet peppers in some weeks.
These ladies will be placed under HPS light indoor. But with temperatures above 25ยฐC I'll put them outside in the sun.
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Thx, indeed thrips (googled it, and you're right).
It was the weakest of all plants, and because it was nr.13 (will not fit well in my flowerroom), I removed the plant. From now on 12 plants to go ๐.
I saw no poop on the plant. But I do saw some black spots on the peppers standing close to the plants. When I push on it, some black smurry came out, probably the poop you mentioned....๐ฉ
wow excellent content, have you found the royal cookies a pleasure to grow? I got some germinating next week, but I'm putting them up against th seeds French cookies in a cookie bake off lol! Your diary is awesome keep up the excellent work!
@JUNGLE_B4RNS,Final week in the greenhouse, I'll start flowering indoor under HPS and outdoor. I hope they will grow not much longer than the height RQS says .....
