well the start was rather disapointing. only 1 of 3 seeds germinated. one didn't sprout at all and for the other one the tap root didn't make it out of the shell and the seedling turned yellow in the earth.
I have planted 2 new seeds. they should still get to harvest even if i'm late now.
the one that made it is growing since 10.05.

Hello everyone,
Finally, after 23 years of waiting, I can legally grow weed on my balcony (south side). What a fucking relief, the German summer of cannabis is here. I always wanted to have plants outside for convenience.
Both strains are automatic and if everything goes as planned they will be ready to havest by august.
Happy growing,
Jan

man this is really not working out as i had hoped. one of the two new plants won't grow but at least the other 2 plants are growing normal and making good progress.
Hello everyone,
the afghan pearl has moved to her final pot and home near the mosel river at a friends house. there it will be always warm and comfy and the plant can grow for a long time before harvesting.
we planted her in a big old concret pot. as fertilizier I chose biotabs so my friend does not have to deal with anything expect watering. We used four tablets as its a giant pot. I put them all next to the roots of the plant, i hope that was the right way to use them.
for the sticky orange: its growing really well. it made so much progress that in the coming week it will move to its final pot on my balcony.
what I also noticed is that the sticky orange does not smell strong, only a light sent, where the afghan pearl has a strong smell
happy growing
the sticky orange has moved to its final 20 liter airpot on my balcony as the weather has become much better. for the soil i used plagron allmix, which i really like. the consistency is on point and it has nutritions for up to 6 weeks. the plant only showed a little stress on the first day but now looks strong and healthy.
the afghan pearl at my friend house is also growing good. it is rich in color and shows no signs of any stress/deficiency. its bending alot to the sun however due to its location of the pot, which we have to address at some point.
all in all the plants are growing well and i hope it stays this way in the weeks to come. if i'm lucky the rainy days are over for the time being and we can enjoy growth and soccer outdoors. :)
not much going on at the moment. sticky orange is doing great in the new pot, but it was cloudy all week long. i'm curious when flowering will begin, should be any week now, or not?
this time i dont have pictures from the afghan pearl because my friend is on holidays, may be this plant has started to bloom.
Lack of potassium.
In future, use liquid fertilizers so you can control nutrition better, biotabs may seem like an easy option but they are far too vague in their usefulness.
Also, please don't remove any more leaves, your plant NEEDS them to make the energy it needs to grow.
flowering has started wooohooo
since i can't comment on my grow question regarding the afghan pearl:
thank you all for your input! I also think it is a wrong ph value. it is watered with rainwater but the soil in this pot is older and maybe it has absorbed properties of the concrete pot. The substance of the soil is good in itself, but it could be waterlogged at times. I will give some liquid fertilizer to my friend, maybe it helps.
sticky orange: she was growing like hell and is now over 1m tall. maybe last week was only the begining of preflowering. she looks healty and strong, very pleasent smell. happy with my choice of plagron allmix, hassle free veg and frist weeks of flowering, recommended
afghan pearl: last weekend I visited my friend. seeing the plant in person was different from what the pictures show, she is much shorter and a overall smaller aperience than sticky orange, but she is much ahead in producing flowers. i missed to take pictures, but she is doing fine considering the not so perfekt place and setup for her.
this week lets have a look at the genetics catalogue vs. reality:
Sticky Orange XXL Automatic seeds are 80% indica / 20% sativa.
Afghan Pearl CBD is 60% indica, 40% sativa.
In reality the afghan pearl is short with broad leaves and flowers fast, where as the sticky orange is tall with slim big leaves and flowers slowy. :D
I find it _very_ interessting how far ahead the afghan pearl has come. She is only one week older. Maybe these +1-3 degrees from her location near a river makes all the difference, sunshine wise both plants should have gotten the same amount.
as you can see the afghan pearl is doing great. she has already produced nice buds with lots of resin.
The sticky orange is far behind, still no resin, not sure how she will turn out. you could say she is only in her 2nd week of blooming.
sticky orange is finaly getting some resin.
Sticky Orange XXL Automatic:
California Indica x Shiva Skunk x Gorilla Glue x Maple Leaf Indica
flowering time is a quick 45-50 days
Afghan Pearl CBD Automatic:
Afghani x Jamaican Pearl x Hindu Kush CBD
The plants have a flowering period of 70 to 75 days.
sticky orange is doing great, she has picked up so much speed.
in about 3-4 weeks it should be time to harvest . now that she has nice flowers i'm a little scared of mold, we have a very rainy summer in germany :(
hopefully i have pictures from the afghan pearl next week.
bad news :( the afghan pearl has mold on several spots. she is more exposed to the rain and its alwyas very humid. what should we do, harvest whats left now?
the sticky orange is doing good.
the plan was to havest them both in two weeks.
So we finally harvested the afghan pearl. the buds are resinous but airy and leavey. the yield is very small also due to the bad weather, not so good location and bud rot.
She was a small plant, but considering that she did not have any good soil or constant care more was'nt to be expected.

She is massiv and easy to grow. Very happy how she turned out. At first I was'nt sure because she needed a long time to get going. the yield is currently at 324g but i have 4 more side branches that i could not havest because my drying net is full and i'm worried it will rot in there. downside all of the buds at the top have some bud rot that had to be discarted. Smelles like oranges but did not stink up the place too much. to be honest i find it very tiresome to harvest.

Ich möchte anmerken, dass sich der Basketball seit 4 Wochen nicht bewegt hat!
Hast du schon überlegt umzutopfen? Die Töpfe limitieren das Wurzelwachstum, was dann auch die Größe der Pflanze reduziert. Nimm dir kein Beispiel an meinen Töpfen. Da sind sonst Tomaten drinnen, aber 17-20 Liter solltest du denen schon gönnen ;)
@Marmelade, gut beobachtet. :) Der ist mittlerweile leider auch nur noch Deko. Hier gibts leider keinen Korb. :( Zu den Pflanzen: Die größere wird spätens am Donnerstag in einen 20 Liter Topf gepfanzt.
Viel Glück. Ich bin voll bei dir. endlich ohne Angst. Dein Name ist on point. Mikro Grow . Viel Glück die 50g mit 3 Pflanzen nicht zu Toppen. Hab ich bis heute nie geschafft. Ich glaub die waren alle besoffen als sie das Gesetz geschrieben haben.😆😁😏
@Stony_German, wenn dann mal geerntet und getrocknet ist wird natürlich alles bis auf 50g der vernichtung zugeführt. 👆😇 aber mal ehrlich wenn es wirklich 200g nass werden sollten wäre ich mehr als zufrieden. Keine Ahnung ob mein Balkon genug licht hat für cannabis, er ist definitiv nicht schlecht, aber mal schauen obs dann auch reicht.
Die Sticky Orange sieht ja echt gut aus. Wie ist die Pflanze geruchlich? Meine hatte die ganze Nachbarschaft massiv eingenebelt. Das war wirklich penetrant! Hast du Probleme mit But Rot? Mir sind 5 wirklich dicke Buds verschimmelt und ich musste sie notschla
@Marmelade, Hi, wie soll ichs sagen, ich finde den geruch nicht stark bei meinem Phänotyp außer man hängt wie ich jetzt beim ernten mit der nase drüber. mMn riecht sie tatsächlich nach orange aber dann ist der geruch nach einigerzeit doch auch penetrant. habe jetzt 2/3 von der sticky orange geerntet und bisher haben alle größeren buds verschimmelte stellen, aber es ist nicht viel das ich wegwerfen muss so ca. 1/10 der ernte und es ist soviel dran, aktuell bin ich bei 320g naß und habe noch 4 triebe.
jaaa das war ein nasses jahr, schwierig da was rauszubekommen, ich glaube ich hatte aus 4 pflanzen ( automatics) 10 gramm?
bei den photoperiods sieht das anders aus, das sind bäume ( die natürlich zusammen nur 50 gramm bringen aber pschhhht)
hahaha. ja danke fpr dein tolles rating.
ich persönlich habe mir geschworen nächstes jahr erst mitte oder sogar ende juni anzufangen mit automatics
@Biotabs, was ganz stark ins gewicht fällt zwischen den beiden Pflanzen sind Erde und Pflege. Ich bin überzeugt die Afghan Pearl wäre viel besser gewesen wenn mein Kumpel nicht zu geizig für neue Erde gewesen wäre. Der Standort an der Mosel ist nicht schlecht könnte aber besser sein. Morgens/vormittags hat die Pflanze da imo im Schatten gestanden. Die Sticky Orange ernten wir morgen, das wird eine größere Ernte, an ihr ist richtig was dran, weshalb ich meine das es eigentlich nicht am Zeitraum gelegen hat, sondern eben am Standort, Erde und Pflege.
Schöner Standort. Die erhöhte Position wird dir am ende in die Hände Spielen. Direkt über dem Boden ist es immer am feuchtesten. Eine kleine Hoffnung in diesem Söder-Sommer da hat er wohl im Bierzelt für einen regnerischen Sommer gebetet.😆 Viel Glück im Endspurt
@Biotabs, vielen Dank. Ja hat er, mal schaun wie gut sie funktionieren. Den Kübel gibt es schon lange und bisher ist darin kein Sumpf enstanden. Ich hoffe das bleibt auch für unseren Grow so.
Ich denke du bist nicht zu spät dran mit den neuen seeds. Ich habe vor einem monat sehr früh angefangen und das macht sich denke ich schon an der Größe bemerkbar. Hätte ich mehr Samen von der Amnesia gehabt hätte ich meine sogar ersetzt^^
