Would not use coco pellet again. Another seed lost its root to fungi infection from coco. The pH also seems off. Glass off water and immediately into potting soil seems best.
I tied down the two lowest side branches so they can get light underneath the large fan leaves. Added some very mild nitrogen fertilizer 2x per week (5/2/2). Flowering might start soon. Light smell is developing.
Flowering started beggining of week 7! Temperatures between 16C - 20C. Half rainy, half sunny days. Smell still okay. Fertilizer (5/2/2 and 3/6/6, 1:2) 3x per week.
Looking good! Still waiting for the purple. Fertilizer every other day, manufacturer dosing protocol. Removed a couple yellow leaves, some axil sproutings on lowest branches, bound two lower branches to the side.
Still no purple and week 9 now. Dutch Passion says it should be ready in 8-10 weeks. Did I get a wrong seed or just weird pheno? How much longer do you think she need? Any advice appreciated!
First wilt leaves. Still no purple. Sugar leaves starting to fill with trichomes. Pistils starting to go brown. Smell is very skunky but mild. I removed some of the fan leaves and lower branches. The branches that I bound down by LST early on grow out and up and have nice buds now. The other 2 lower ons not so much. Should have removed them earlier.
About 50% milky, 40% clear trichome heads. But in some minor spots, they are all dark brown/amber. Its supposed to be a Forbidden Cherry Automatic (Dutch Passion), but did not turn purple. I want it to be a bit more relaxing, indica-like. Week 11, outdoor balcony grow.
Hey mate,
ich checked your diary. Your atleast 3 weeks away from harvest. Your pistils will push another wave and buds will get way bigger, give her the time and you will get rewarded.
Your plant started to flower pretty late, so you can do nothing but wait. She needs atleast 8-9 weeks of flowering and seems like yours flowered around week 4-5.
Hope that helps you, you can also PN me if you want.
Happy Growing and dont stress it👌
Thanks for the help everyone!!
The smell is getting weaker and she is not growing as much anymore. Also need less water. Waiting maybe 2 more weeks then.
She is looking okay but shows some signs of... something. Leaves are wilting, some are turning blue to purple, others have brown spots. Any idea what is up? Not sure if I overdid it with the fertilizer but she gets only water for now. My other plant, 2 weeks younger, also starts to have these purple leaf tips.
Not sure about the "amber trichome" thingy... with enough magnification, I only see clear or amber, 50:50. No milky. Maybe I harvest next week? Or as suggested in 2-3 weeks. But seems a bit late. The buds also didnt grow much in the past 2 weeks.
Fan leaves are wilting and some younger leaves turn purple. Did I overdo it with fertilizer? Intend to harvest in 1-2 weeks. What do you think? What worries me is that a 2 week younger plant with same fertilizer scheme also starts to purple on the leaves - likely not senescence?
Since you are growing outdoors, the purple leaves are a natural process that happens due to cooler night temperatures.
You have nothing to worry about due to the purple leaves.
Senescence does not cause purple leaves, rather it will show as yellowing leaves.
The purple is absolutely due to cool night temps, nothing else.
I would say that you still have about 3 weeks to go, maybe even a bit longer.
Once the plant has 98-99% brown pistils/hairs, you will be entering the harvest zone.
Week 13 now. Last, ppl agreed she needs 2 more. Yesterday, I checked trichomes again and found lots of amber. Also the smell is changing and weakening. From floral and citrus to roasted spices & pine. Need to put nose right next to the bud to smell it. Estimate still 2.5 week?
Cut her down, if you wait two weeks all that's s aber now is too ripe and dried out. Also the more amber, the less potency and you already got lots of amber.
Much success 🤞and
Happy Growing
Alright, it is time!
Thanks for the help everyone, very much appreciated. Some said she could go 1 - 2 more weeks from here and you were right that the flowers did get another push (about +10% new, white pistils). But I have a perfect harvest opportunity coming up. Afer a very sunny day today, I cut all fan leaves and the largest sugar leaves. Will move her into a shaded spot for 2 days now. No more watering. Then cut down. That would be week 14.5 or 101d from seed to harvest.
Very unfortunate the pomised purple did not turn up. At least I got some nice purple and orange leaf colors.
Easy to grow. Good yield. Medium to strong resistance. Neighbour-friendly smell. Bud aroma not great yet, but I really like the high - hits strong for the first 10min then lets you off the leash with a smooth, happy and relaxed glow. This was not the usual pheno though, hence hard to say more about the strain (more info below). For 15€per seed, I expect stable phenos not lottery!
The harvest was a bit improvised. I pre-dried them outside under a sun screen (not choped yet) for 3 days at 30°C and 45% humidity. Then chopped only the buds and dried indoors for another 4d at 25°C and 62% humidity. Not ideal, they probably lost some terpenes. But no other way to do it at the time. Now they are curing at a stable 62% humidity. The grassy smell slowly disappears. Still, the aroma is not great. When I press the buds a mix of lime and pine is released but the ouside smells just like old, overdried herbs. It's my first time curing. So I dont know what to expect or if it will get better? Let's see.
Dry bud weight was 75g. We are only legally allowed 50g dry so I had to destroy a bit. Buds are medium sticky and slightly airy but good overall.
The strain was low maintenance and grew quite large. Only had to cut a couple spots (1x mildew, 1x bud rot). However, it was not purple as advertised. Checking back with Dutch Pasion, they are not aware of a non-purple pheno. I compared with pictures from its parents and it looks a lot like the Forbidden Fruit. I assume it got most of their genetics.
@GermanGrow182, Top, danke! Hab bei dir mal reingeschaut. Scheint wir haben ähnliche Bedingungen;) sehr gute Orientierungshilfe. Darf ich fragen wie du trocknest? Habe leider kein Zelt oder Raum dafür. Überlege den Balkon abzudunkeln und sie dort für 3-4 warme Tage hinzuhängen. Dann so schnell wie möglich ins Glass mit Boveda Pack.
@Seedler, Haha thanks! I certainly did not expect this outcome with the shitty weather we get. But then I just had a successful winter harvest with 4 weeks in frost and snow. This plant species keeps suprising!
@NearlyDeadGrows, kann sein ja. Trichome waren fast 50/50 bernstein und noch klar, also schwierig zu beurteilen. Hätte vielleicht noch ne Woche gekonnt aber für meine erste bin ich sehr zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis.
Hey! Nice to see your work! Looks amazing.
Keep on doing ur thing, good luck with all future grows!
