Mai ´24 - DP Auto Critical Orange Punch

R_atata 12.05.: Seedling along with Jiffy planted directly in a 1-liter pot. Substrate 50/50 seedling soil and prepared fertilized soil (possibly leaner soil will be better tolerated). The plant spends the night indoors at about 18°C and will be placed outside during the day until the night temperature rises to about 15°C.

R_atata The weather is still bad. Too cold. But the little one is growing quite well. She continues to stay in the apartment, and the change of environment doesn't seem to trigger any major stress reaction.

R_atata Finally, the weather is a bit better and warmer. The Critical Orange Punch has been able to enjoy plenty of sunshine and is growing accordingly fast. About 1 cm per day.

R_atata Started LST

R_atata Changeable, warm week. Repotted the plant. I hope the mulch layer doesn't lower the soil pH too much.

R_atata Finally, it's summer. The plants are nice and warm and thankfully show no signs of heat stress, despite peak temperatures of 34°C (air temperature) and more on the terrace stones and pots. The Orange Punch is starting to flower. The plant was tied down very flat, allowing the side branches to develop better and giving the plant more light exposure. No signs of stress.

R_atata Every now and then there was rain, but overall it was a week with good weather. At times it was very warm. The Critical Orange Punch handles the training well and is diligently forming the flower sites, which are very dense. I'm curious to see what it looks like when the full flowers are there.

R_atata A changeable week with high temperatures and partly high humidity. I'm removing individual leaves to let light reach the flower sites.

R_atata The weather was very good over the week. It was very warm and there was a lot of sunshine. Last night it rained heavily. The Critical Orange forms very compact, resinous buds. There's not much growth left. Next time I grow this strain, I will only treat the plant with defoliation and not by bending. I think that will yield more.

R_atata A week with lots of sun and some rain. The smell of the plants subtly drifts over the terrace. Despite many brown hairs, the trichomes are mostly clear. I cut off a small bud and tested it in the vaporizer. The effect is definitely strong.

R_atata I've cut off about two-thirds of the plant. The lower part is still on the stem because the buds there are still very fresh. So far, I'm really happy with the Critical Orange. Next time, I won't use any LST.

R_atata The remaining Bonsai of the Critical Orange Punch needs another week.

R_atata The rest of the Critical Orange is cut and hanging to dry in a box. It was a very nice bonsai.
