Frisian Dew is doing great. The weather isn’t very good, with average lows around 13°C even in June. But still, it’s growing massive—really massive. I took 6-7 clones, and 5 are doing good. I'm also happy that I decided to go for 1 fem early with autos. They’re taking more time, but it makes more sense for growing. The bigger pot showed better growth, becoming bushy with more tops and nodes after cloning.
For the 7-gallon plant, I have 5-6 tops. It will need a bit more HST this week. The 5-gallon plant has 2 tops; I messed up a bit while topping initially, but it’s still looking impressive.
By the start of July, I’ll transplant all the clones outdoors. These dews are growing completely outdoors and facing a tough summer here in Germany.
I’ll start 2 new diaries as soon as I get time. Been quite busy with work and setting up the indoor grow this past week.
For watering and nutes: I use pH-balanced water and a nutrient mix in alternate waterings. No signs of undernourishment, and with 2 more months of veg, I'm being careful about the height too.
@birdmountain, It looks like we're both going with Euforia too.
Germination tray idea was helpful from your diary IDK how I missed it; better than managing small cups.
Happy growing and keep sharing your progress too. 🌱✌️
@Ivatt90, Hey! I simply took a small node that seemed big enough and placed it in small cups. All you need to do is water them every day and avoid trimming the branches too short. From what I've seen in YouTube videos, a slight trim is important but otherwise, they do quite well just leave them on their own for 3 weeks or so.
Out of seven, six survived and I repotted three of them today. The root system they developed was incredible. I'll definitely share pictures of the other three next week. To be honest, I experimented with basil and mint using the same methods, and they were fast and robust. Don't worry, you can go ahead after week 4 but make sure to check out some YouTube videos first.
