Hello guys, this is my third ever grow, my second ever diary and my first photoperiodic plant.
In my grow tent I got some older automatic plants and a fresh new Hulkberry automatic run (you can follow that grow in my second diary). The light cycle is 18/6 under my Spider Farmer SE3000. Later in the grow I obviously have to flip to 12/12, and hopefully my Hulkberry will be harvested by that time. Otherwise the fresh auto plant will have to deal with that too, but that's a problem for future me.
Since this is a photoperiodic grow, slow and steady wins the race. Maybe I will try some mainlining techniques if I feel confident enough. The goal is to have a big plant after my autos that will reward me with some sweet Super Silver Haze nuggets. I am a little bit worried about the available space ... 😅Wish me luck 🙏.

For germination I used the paper towel method. After 2 days the seed had developed a nice root and got planted into small pot. Another 36 hours later the plant broke the surface. I call this day (09.05.2024) day 0.
Happy growing everybody and stay tuned for the upcoming weeks! 🌱
@Stony_German, Danke Stony! Dachte beim ersten Bruch schon "das war's" aber die Pflanze konnte alle Äste heilen. Wirklich wahnsinnig resistente Pflanzen, und wunderschön noch dazu!
@Stony_German, Thanks again mate! I know, outdoors in Germany plants usually flower at the end of August or at the start of September. If it won't flower until mid September I will move it back inside my tent as a backup solution.
@Sonic27, Adding some more things that are important in my opinion:
- first plan your layout, then start training
- don't top too early: side branches need some substantial growth and the main stem needs to be thick enough
- same applies for side branches (in this diary I was too early for example)
- be gentle when applying LST
- don't use thin wire for LST, it can cut into stems that break when they grow further
- when stems don't properly bend, give them a slight pinch, that way they get softer
- don't cut off too much plant material (as stated earlier)
Hope this helps. ❤️
@Franky38, Freut mich! Bin selber überrascht wie gut das für nen First try geworden ist. Ganz ohne Wunden hat es nicht geklappt aber die Lady hat sich immer wieder regeneriert, wahnsinnig resistente Pflanzen 😍
@DaddyPrime2, Growing since April when it became legal in Germany 😂. I've watched some grow tutorials, the rest is try and error. Highly recommend to check out "basementganja" on YouTube, he is my virtual senpai.
