Germination
10 months ago
Germination was actually 24h of glass of water, then papertowel until full show. Took about 36h for 1cm. I planted into jiffy (41mm, 19g of water to soak it) and let it rest there. The little led-driven germination seedlingbox is aliexpress and i messured a constant 21-25C° at 80-90% humidity.

The plant was getting tall and thin quickly, while i had it in the led-germination box from aliX. So im unsure wether this thing emits enough light. I repotted the jiffy into a 4L fabric pot, soil is biobizz. Unfortunately i wanted to follow someone's pro tip and defoilate the jiffy (so i took this mesh off) and that ripped the tip of the core root off. The plant seems fine, but we'll have to see. 25.04.24 In the pot and new lighting: Its pointing the leafs nicely towards the light while not rising too fast. The LEDs have unknown wattage. AliX claims 1000w but thats bogus.. It seems to work though! There is zero natural light, so the plant is living off this unknown led-panel. 3,5L of soil, 0,5L of water. Watering: It has received water when repotted initally plus one more time. 27.04.24 The total weight was only 3,65kg - i gave it water until it messured 3,9kg.

No water this week, i guess the soil was still carrying enough water to supply the plant sufficiently. I started bending the main stem with little trainers i found on Amazon. Additionally, i used these metal gras hooks. After my first try i gave the metal hook a sticky tape wrap to avoid contact between the plant and rusty material. The plant is adjusting to its new direction but doesn't seem to be phased by it

Video at the end. Watering: 12.05. 3,70kg - 4,27kg 14.05. 3,6kg - 3,9kg 17.05 3,6kg - 4,6kg (1g green house powder feeding "grow" in 1L of water) The training is going well, I added some force here and there. Plant seems to be happy. I decided to order some powder feeding fertilizer, since the plant is now starting week 4 and is still quite small. Update: 1g greenhouse powder feeding in 1L of water used at the end of week 4.

03.06. Fully outdoor 05.07. (water only - last time) Now incl. Trichome pics The trichomes are looking good, harvest would maybe be a little early, but i wanted to have more time between fertilizer and harvest, also the chlorophyll has not left yet, so i keep it going for now until i reach my desired trichome browning limit

Last week was crazy busy, as was most of the growing period. So im glad i made it work, the plant was also very forgiving though! I'd love to see this strain work its magic under ideal conditions in some distant future.. I'd love to see comments here, not many were written despite the 200+ views (as of now) so im lacking community interaction and would love to receive feedback. Im a rookie so any suggestions are appreciated ❤️ UPDATE: done drying (appr. 5 days, but unsatisfactory 25degrees at 65rh) Now curing. See pics.
