Legalisierungs Grow

Grow_in_Franken Low temperatures force the plants to stay indoors in the sun most of the time. You can already see strong stretching.

Grow_in_Franken To counteract the stretching, I repotted and buried the plants deeper. The root ball was well developed in all three plants. I repotted the dwarfs into large pots and the Sour Diesel into a roughly ~5-liter container. For all of them, I added clay pebbles to prevent waterlogging. Additionally, I got a plastic tomato greenhouse. The weather is gradually getting better.

Grow_in_Franken The greenhouse and the repotting, as well as the warmer temperatures, are noticeably good for the plants. However, the next mistake has come. I got a bit too eager with the watering. I took a break for a few days.

Grow_in_Franken The water withdrawal was definitely the right decision. The plants are finally picking up speed and growing towards the sky! To the moon! The RD's are also showing the first signs of flower stems.

Grow_in_Franken You can see that the RD that germinated using the paper towel method is slowly entering the flowering phase. The plant that used the glass of water method is a few days behind. The SD is shooting up nicely.

Grow_in_Franken Looks like I've found a good way. The little plants are growing quite well. It could just use a bit more sun and warmth... Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture this week. But there's an awesome sketch with everything included.

Grow_in_Franken At the beginning, I didn't dare to stress the plant. Now that thought is coming up more and more. However, we are currently too far into the flowering stage for the RD's. Since I'm still curious, I removed the lower shoots from the plant that's lagging a bit. It's not much. If anyone has feedback on whether I should take off more, please let me know. I'm also open to suggestions for the SD. I don't want it to get too big.....

Grow_in_Franken Well, here we are again. I'll break it down RD 1: so far so good, growing well, has light, warmth, and water. The buds are growing, everything is sprouting and thriving. It's interesting for me to see how this plant grows without interference and gives me a better feeling of how each influence affects it. The smell is quite gentle but clearly lemony, and you just want to bite into it already :P RD 2: The little defoliation it had was handled very well. I have the feeling that the buds here are already getting a bit more energy from the plant. RD 2 has also already surpassed RD 1 in height - not by much, but it's a measurable difference. SD: The little troublemaker... The topping and slight defoliation were handled quite well - at least that's what I thought. The lower fan leaves are currently turning a bit yellow. I'm still unsure if this is really related to the topping or if I'm currently watering too much? At least the wounds have all healed perfectly. I'll be a bit more sparing with the water in the next few days. My dog also thinks the plants are interesting and is once again doing great as a model ;)

Grow_in_Franken not a big update, the plants are growing well and the trichomes are clearly increasing in RD 1. The smell isn't too overpowering but it already smells like lemon. RD 2 has grown quite a bit and already has somewhat larger buds now. SD has recovered pretty well and hopefully will go into flowering soon.

Grow_in_Franken Now that the Top-Max has finally arrived, I fed the little ones with it right away. The buds in RD 1 are already getting really frosty. I'm considering starting to flush next week. The smell has also been increasing in the last few days. RD 2 is still making decent progress regarding the buds, but it's still about a week behind RD 1. The smell is increasing here as well. For both RD 1 and RD 2, I did a light defoliation today where I trimmed the fan leaves a bit. SD hasn't changed much; if I have time, I want to do a bit of LST here this week.

Grow_in_Franken SD - I repotted them into a new pot. The suspicion is that the plant got infested with aphids there. Right now, I'm treating it with black tea. It's working quite well, and the plant is already looking much healthier than a few days ago. RD1 Harvesting will happen here soon. The hairs are changing color nicely, and the trichomes are still clear. RD2 The devil got me while defoliating. I took off a bit too much. I'm curious to see how this goes from here.

Grow_in_Franken I defoliated Madame well and started doing LST. So far so good, everything is doing what it should. Nothing else exciting.

Grow_in_Franken It was about time… The harvest went pretty well, the trichomes are milky and a bit amber. The most interesting part is actually the drying. After I originally planned to use a different drying method, I had to spontaneously change my plans. What did I do? I took a large cardboard box and connected a fan that I had lying around at home. To redirect the airflow a bit, I installed a barrier at both ends of the box to guide the airflow over and under the buds. It seems to be going quite well, but why all this? It has rained a lot lately, and with the summer heat, my basement has a relative humidity of 75%. With the constant airflow and the use of cardboard, I want to avoid the likelihood of mold. Unfortunately, I don't have any other locations… From the wet trim, I'll be making some butter next week. Smoke report to follow 😉
