Balkon in Deutschland

Wenz004 So finally planted the free seeds from RQS from last year... at the moment no special nutrients... just a bit of Fishmix... soil is Biobizz Allmix... the plant seems to like it... the plan is... to transplant into the wild (guerrilla) around week 6-7.

Wenz004 Plants grow and thrive...getting some Fishmix...activera and Alg a mic...a little bit

Wenz004 Soon they will be transplanted into the wild... Leaf miners and their larvae have attacked. In the meantime, both are double topped. Yesterday one was released... the second one stays for now and will go into a 7L pot.

Wenz004 Repotted in 7 liters Soil (whatever leftovers I found) is enriched with perlite, vermiculite, and coco. Let's see when it gets moved from the balcony... for now, it's staying here. The second plant has already been transplanted according to guerrilla tactics, ;) photos to follow.

Wenz004 grows and thrives...I would love to start the flowering phase 😄 The second one is in the wild...it's hard for me to get photos of it...but I'll get there.

Wenz004 So... one of the 2 plants has moved into the big tent (150×150cm). It's being repotted from a 7L pot into a 10-gallon fabric pot with living soil (this time recipe #1 "coots mix" from Jeremy). The living soil is currently "cooking." Not that I'm a living soil fan (lower yield), but when I'm away for two weeks again, I can just let it drip water and the plant stays healthy. Oh yeah... terpenes might also be better... but I haven't been able to prove that yet. The second plant that was initially on the balcony is still outside unnoticed... I'll take pictures of that soon. P.S. I’ve now made a video and pictures. It's not growing that fast... but the color and shine are phenomenal.

Wenz004 So this week, I repotted the original balcony plant #1 into living soil... starting tomorrow, Sunday, I'm flipping to 12 hours... I'm really excited... my first photo... I'm worried that the space in the 150x150cm tent won't be enough. As for the original balcony plant #2... which was put outside (guerilla), I don't have any recent pictures yet... but they'll come... there will be some in week 9... not big... but sensational color and shine.

Wenz004 Soo... Number 1 of 2 that were on the balcony is growing great... it’s been flipped to 12 hours all week but there are only minimal signs of the flowering phase... but the stretch is probably already underway... despite living soil and compost tea once a week... I'm also adding some topbooster and P-boost from Aptus... I'm convinced that no living soil has enough phosphorus for the stretch phase. Occasionally a bit of "fish shit" but not with every watering... that stuff is expensive to unavailable in Germany... but very good. Cover crop is also working very well... I've seen many do it with very young plants... I would advise against that. Number 2... started on the balcony and then moved outdoors... I visited it too but didn’t take new pictures like I posted here 2 weeks ago... it’s making only little progress... but looks beautiful.

Wenz004 So finally the wonder of stretch started,) During my last living soil experiment exactly that did not work. This time with help of topbooster and P-booster it works good.

Wenz004 Bloom and stretch are in full swing now. Last week I pruned it heavily. It also got 3.5 liters of compost tea this week... otherwise, it's drinking about 2 liters per day right now... hope it doesn't end up being 6 liters like my F-MILF project... barely manageable when you go away. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied 😃

Wenz004 In addition to what’s written above, I added 4 liters of compost tea... since it's living soil. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with everything.

Wenz004 The buds are getting fatter slowly... last week I didn't make any compost tea.

Wenz004 The only special queen that has survived... is the one that was released... but you can see that it's in terrible condition... 80% of the leaves and the stem have been eaten away by "something" and secondly, it has 0 chance of maturing by mid-October... this almost applies to all photo strains grown outdoors in Germany that I've seen here on GrowDiaries... at my location, there were also too few hours of sunlight... but it was well hidden 😄 The second special queen... later moved from the balcony to the tent... was destroyed... by spider mites... despite the predatory mite sachets from biobe 😬

Wenz004 Fiechers have destroyed everything 😞
