Outdoor Germany 24 - Northrine Westfalia

----- Week 1 ----- Germination / Seedling Stage & About ------ ----- Day 1 and 2 ----- Seedling Stage ------ The motto of this thread is: if they die, they die - if they survive they will survive HST and LST (one of each seeds will encounter HST & LST, the Critical will be done with HST & LST just for science and experience purposes). It's my first ever grow and directly outdoors. Since its now legal and i have the permit to grow max. 15 plants, i will give it a shot. I decided just to pick about 6-7 plants, that should be enough for medical purposes in the family (picked the auto strains, just because of the "lesser" smell they should have. The Critical is just an experiment). Read a lot, watched a lot and decided to give it a try, just for fun! I will try to grow the following strains: 2x White Widdow Auto - RQS 2x Jack Herer Auto - RQS 2x Northern Light - RQS 1x Critical - RQS Germination was done in soil under the starter set from RQS with their easy plugs. Light is permanently on. Soil is "professional growing soil" from a local company here with perlite etc. The plants will grow in "lechuza" containers with "lechuza pond" down in the pots. Each container has a volume of 45 L ... In each container there will be two plants (beside the Critical, it got his own 45 L container). Let's hope they survive, if not the next round will begin :) ----- Day 3 ----- Seedling Stage ------ On the third day, three seeds (2x WW, 1x NL) where ready for planting in their final pot. 2x JH are getting into it (about 1cm height, should be tomorrow so far - at the end of day 3) The only left NL doesnt appear so far on the surface of the soil. 2x White Widdow, 1x NL, 1x Critical .. Planted in their final pots directly outdoor. ----- Day 4 ----- Seedling Stage ------ The Critical looks much better today!!! She went from being down, to uprising herself. She is the biggest Seedling so far! Wow! I just don't understand yet, why she has only two leaves so far. 2x JH got planted today in their final pots ... All other Ladys look great! They adapted their new homes and hopefully they will recover fast from the stress of potting!! The second NL didn't show any reaction, so I looked up ... The seed didn't germinate. I dropped in another two NL seeds in a soil starter plug, just to get another seedling, hopefully! Gave water to all of the seedlings, it was a pretty hot day. About 3/4 of a cup per Seedling. ----- Day 5 ----- Seedling Stage ------ Today the weather forecast showed that there will be rain in the night and it will get stormy (danger announcement from the goverment was given out to us). Decided to cover all plants with more soil and pressed them firmly a bit more into the soil (there are 1-1,5cm left from the bottom to the first baby leaves) Didn't water! Plants are doing great, they develop great!!!! It's insane!!! The both NL seeds didn't sprout so far, but only ~28 hours passed by since I planted them in the soil plugs. Hope my babys will survive, but I am looking positive on it! If they survive, they managed the hardest time directly on the 5th day (dangerous and stormy situations like that don't happen quite often here). Sadly I couldn't make any pictures, but tomorrow @05:30am I am waking up as usual and I will look after them and take a picture. :) ----- Day 6 ----- Seedling Stage ------ Luckily, all plants survived!!! Didn’t water today, due to previous rain and storm. The second NL still doesn’t appear. The growth of the plants is insane!!!!! ----- Day 7 ----- Seedling Stage ------ Finally the last NL got free in the morning. It was ready to get planted now. Got a third NL seedling too, I will try something out with it, maybe in a shady place just to get a feeling for the plant. Didn’t water today, the soil is still wet. Immense growth, just wow!!!! Critical is still the biggest, but I don’t get why she only has two leaves…. The lady’s are now 7 days old!!! :-) For this harsh conditions they were in two days ago, they are doing great! ----- Day 8 ----- Seedling Stage ------ Listened to the Community and killed the Dud „Critical“. Planted another NL instead in the big pot. Something grew out of her in the middle, but as you guys told me I don’t think it’s worth the effort… I germinated the Cannabis seeds with other seeds in the Starterkit, does it maybe have to do with that? I can’t imagine that this is the problem but maybe?!? No watering needed today, it will rain at least for several days like this.. I am concerned that the plants won’t receive enough light… Hmm it is what it is! I have chosen the last momentum this summer for this project, the reason: the summer this year here isn’t the best.. I think I won’t have to water my plants for two weeks when I look into the forecast…. ----- Day 9 ----- Seedling Stage ------ Nice growth from all plants, even if the sun isn’t out… It’s raining a lot … They look fine when I consider the permanently wet soil. Hopefully in 3-4 days it will stop raining….
