A very sunny, warm week has come to an end, the ladies had to be supplied with plenty of water and have continued to develop in terms of flowers. The Durban Poison colas are getting thicker and thicker, there are two scents; the scent when only smelling the flowers and the scent when rubbing the leaves on the colas. The scent when rubbing the leaves is much more pleasant, spicy and sweet, the other is difficult to describe, animal-like. It seems that Durban Poison will still be ready for harvest in September. The colour of the leaves on the colas is interesting, they are a dark purple and this is where most of the terpenes are found, not on the green leaves.
Frisian Dew and Shaman now have recognisable flower buds developing along the tips of the shoots and branches, and there is still some growth to be seen on the plants in the garden soil. I'm hoping for a warm, sunny September with little rain :)
Fertilised with wood ash and a flower fertiliser.
If you are wondering about the paving stones on the pots, these are intended to protect against gusts of wind that can sometimes occur. If there is not much water left in the pots, the plants could fall over without the stabilisation of the stones due to the large leaf mass. It's just stupid if the gusts of wind then blow from a different direction... Therefore, a clear recommendation in favour of ceramic pots.

Frisian Dew in garden soil 224 cm
Shaman in pot 165 cm
Shaman in garden soil 208 cm
Durban Poison 170 cm
Some leaves from the top of my biggest plant, Frisian Dew, turn yellow and brown. The others don't show this behavior. The plant is in week 22 and still needs approx. 4-6 weeks until harvest. The plant pot is fully rooted up to the surface.
@Mrs_Larimar, yes I have been studying your reports before to decide if I could grow them. I am very astonished about Durban Poison currently which I grow from regular seeds. For the bad, rainy times in Autumn they will be moved under a tarp.
Large mesh textile pots is the best for garden , garden direct soil is an added stress factor to control and work with u want a good Pro Mix Soil with all the goodies ,dont over nute them , pro mix has for weeks in it.
@Boomer911, thank you for your tips. I already got some 15 l Gronest textile pots. When the plants get harvested, you can use the root balls as bricks :). 15 l pots are only suitable for balcony. The plants in it will reach up to 120 cm.
Die schauen richtig vital aus! Besonders interessant zu sehen wie früh die Durban Poison in die Blüte gegangen ist. Wie ist bei euch die Situation mit eventuellem Störlicht in der Nacht? Ich habe das Gefühl bei mir könnte Streulicht vom Haus die Blüte hemmen.
@Slinds, ja die Durban Poison und eine weitere ist bereits in Blüte gegangen, alle anderen sind in der Vorblüte. Ich habe nun auch alle Nachtbeleuchtungen (Solarfackeln ...) abgeschaltet um Störlichter zu vermeiden. Mal sehen ob es etwas bringt.
Whats up Growmie, nice Grow keep up the good work 👌🏽🍀 check out mine, maybe you got some tipps 🙏🏽 don‘t forget to Like & follow if you like my organic grows 💯
Sehr geil, dass du welche im Boden hast. Hattest du viele Schnecken? Glaube, nicht, denn die sehen sehr gut aus 👌 weiter so, Dann versorgst du ein paar Leute mehr als nur dich 😄 also, wenn es nach dem Gesetzgeber geht...
@GermanGrow182, die Schnecken sind z. Zt. mit den Blüten des Garten-Eibisch beschäftigt (Kein Witz). Bzgl. der Erntemenge gibt es noch diverse Hürden für ein erfolgreiches Jahr. Und es geht in diesem Jahr darum festzustellen was möglich ist und nicht darum Personen zu versorgen.
