Critical auto

Springtime Today is Monday, so a new week! The first fingers are clearly visible after 5 days. Unfortunately, the little one has shot up towards the sun as expected and is 7cm tall. I think I will add more soil during the week so it doesn't bend when it gets windy. This morning, it had its first sip of Root juice and Aloe Vera. Day 7: I added soil yesterday and fertilized with Root juice and activera to encourage quick rooting in the new soil. The next pair of leaves is already poking out. Day 9: It's going well! The next leaves are already clearly visible. Unfortunately, they are only single-fingered from what it looks like. Too bad because I think we urgently need more photosynthesis. Day 11: Tomorrow starts the next week. So far, I'm satisfied with the development. I'm curious to see what the next few days will bring.

Springtime The week starts with an 8cm tall plant. There are indeed 3-finger leaves and not just 1-finger leaves as initially suspected. Hopefully, it continues to grow quickly, then there will be growth nutrients next week. The weather is getting wetter, humidity is rising, but the temperatures are totally fine. I think it's optimal vegetative weather. The next pair of leaves is on the way; it would be nice if it has five fingers, we'll see. It's definitely doing better than my early starters in April. Critical just can't seem to drink its pot dry after the rain... but it's growing nicely. On day 18, there's already a new pair of leaves on the way, and new leaves are already forming at the nodes of the first 2 leaf pairs.

Springtime Tag 19: the next pair of leaves doesn't look that pretty, but I think it fits... Tag 20: looks like side shoots are already starting to form. Tag 22: critical was attacked by a nasty sparrow! I'm thinking about an air rifle and bloody revenge...

Springtime The little one is growing comfortably. It gained 6cm in height since last week and has added quite a bit of leaf mass. Unfortunately, it feels like it's growing a bit slower now. I think it will soon go into pre-flowering. It has rained a lot in the last few days, and you can see it. The leaves have taken on a claw shape, probably due to wind and water. Hopefully, they'll go back to normal... By the end of the week, it's starting pre-flowering now. Actually, it's still too small for that, but hey, it is what it is.

Springtime New week: Day 33: we're starting the week at 25cm height. There are first signs of pre-flowering visible near the stem. I don't think it will get much higher than 50-60 cm, but I'm open to being proven wrong 🤭. Starting with the next feeding, there will also be bloom nutrients.

Springtime The little one is now, I think, 40 days old. She's growing well and has gained 16cm in a week while also developing some nice side branches. She looks healthy (as far as I can tell) and has no issues. To keep it that way, I'll be putting some Leafcoat on this week. I fertilize twice a week with about 500ml of nutrient-rich solution. I'm really curious to see how much she'll stretch. I'd celebrate hard if she reaches 70cm. But I think, like with the previous grow, it'll stop at around 50cm - there's just not enough sunlight in the northwest location... so I'd be satisfied with that.

Springtime We've definitely gained some height and will probably reach the final height soon. I don't think it will be more than 50cm. Over the weekend, there was apparently another psycho sparrow attack. It picked at some leaves and probably damaged a flower bud on a side branch. Hopefully, it doesn't bring any mold spores with it... I wonder if it's decorating its nest with fragrant stuff... Or if it's some kind of test of courage when I dash out onto the balcony to act as a scarecrow... Well, the plant is growing and seems to be fine. I think by the end of the week it will look even better than it does today on Monday.

Springtime Critical is getting thicker, she was always in when the rain came. So there was a lot in, without extra lighting... No bird attack this week. I skipped leaf coat this week. Maybe there's a connection? Since I'll be on vacation soon, she only gets next week... I'm curious if it will be enough to become somewhat ripe...

Springtime Tag 1 Last week - ready or not. We will see. So far, almost all the trichomes I've seen are milky, the rest are still clear. Tag 4 of the last week: she's slowly getting brown hairs. Looks good. She'll be harvested soon!

Springtime I trimmed it wet right away to shorten the drying time and packed it into the jar just before leaving for vacation. It smelled the strongest of all my grows so far. My wife was not happy…
