the first two weeks were rather cloudy and cold. now the sun starts to shine all day and i have around 25-30 degrees in the greenhouse. when the sun shines all day, the plants have 8 hours direkt sunshine and 6- 7 hours of normal daylight.

the topping has taken away the plant's power to grow and unfortunately the sun is not shining often at the moment. in the greenhouse the temperatures are still fluctuating between 10 and 36 degrees. depending on the sunshine time. i hope that she will grow more in the next few days.

i started with LST. unfortunately the plant grew too fast in height, which doesn't make it any easier now. next week i'll try it with twine. maybe i should it just let it grow as it likes.

we are at the beginning of the 5th week. the LST training is working quite well so far. it has become a bit caotic. it is possible that i have overfertilised her a bit, she has got two yellow spots. but nothing wild yet. she still gets canna rhizotonic, biobizz grow and biobizz bloom. i don't do any exact fertilisation, more like a guess. she has the first flowering starts. let's see how she develops further. :)

we are entering the 5th week. it has rained a lot, sometimes very heavily. even in the greenhouse the temperatures are dropping to 15 degrees. the beginning of the flowering phase is emerging. the LST training is going well. however, the plant is growing very slowly. there is not enough sunshine at the moment. good things take time.

we have the first week of flowering behind us. the plant looks healthy, but is growing very slowly. unfortunately the german summer is a long time coming. we sometimes only have 8 degrees at night and not much sunshine.

we are entering the 8th week and the 2nd week of flowering. she is only growing minimally in height. the flowers are getting thicker. she is developing some nice little buds. she is doing really well. no parasites or diseases to be seen. in the greenhouse i have an average of 30 degrees, lowest temperature about 20 degrees and highest 40 degrees. in the video you can see a comparison with the white widow. both are the same age. i didn't use any topping or LST on the white whidow. it's crazy how big the difference is.

the 9th week. she's slowly starting to smell. when i open the door to the greenhouse, i get a sweet smell. but it's a really faint odour. the pistils are still white. i think she'll be ready for harvest in 2 to 3 weeks. she still has a few weeks to form proper buds. she still looks very healthy. i hope the next few weeks will be really sunny again. unfortunately it's very changeable weather at the moment.

she has developed really well. due to lack of space i have now moved her from the greenhouse to the outside. where she also got a nice rain shower straight away. due to the LST training she has stayed nice and small and has developed some nice little buds. i hope she copes well with the move to the outside.

i actually wanted to harvest it at the end of the week, but i will give it another week to ripen. the trichomes are not yet at the stage i would like them to be. so far i have not discovered any mould. due to the changeable weather and the sometimes very high humidity, it is quite possible that it will develop. unfortunately this happened with my white widow. let's hope that she continues to do well and that i will be able to harvest her.

the weather in my part of germany is really bad for this summer at the moment. it's raining too much. i've put them in a dry place to prevent mould from forming. maybe they're not getting as much fertiliser. they'll get one more week and then they'll be harvested.

she was allowed to enjoy a few more days of full sun. so now she is harvested. i will only trim after drying, the wet weight is about 64g. the smell at harvest was sweet and fruity.
