Week 7 has started and I'd say, overall she's looking good and healthy.
day 45:
It's time to give her some water and new "food". I took the opportunity to remove a few of the lower and inner leaves and arrange them a little more openly with some garden wire and string.
Regarding those lighter leafs in the top center (pictures under the LED make it really look worse) and the reddish/violet stems i won't do anything for now but observing.
day 46:
just visual checks and refreshing humidation.
day 47:
The soil was already dry again, i guess because of those high temperatures during the last days (up to 38°C inside the box). As she seemed to be doing quite well, I decided to carry out a slightly larger defoliation. Some might even call it “soft lollipopping”. But as a beginner, I want to try the experiment and I'm more afraid of mold than a slightly lower yield. So I removed about 1/3 of the leaves and small shoots in the lower area and also took out some fan leaves and leaves that were growing inwards or covering other shoots. I then used some string to give her a new shape to bring the individual shoots back to a more uniform height.
day 48:
just visual checks and refreshing humidation. I guess she isn't too sad about her new haircut. Additionally playing around with the smartphone microscope I recently bought.
day 49:
The first pistils are beginning to change color. No water needed today, but i guess for a fresh watering tomorrow.
Removed some leafes that wouldn't get much light
The weather should cool down again today and in the next few days, so I'm hoping for lower temperatures inside the grow box. Today I will leave the box open for a while and try to cool down the room in which it is standing.
day 50:
My guess was right, it's watering day. Felt like she needed a little more nutrients so i slightly adapted my plan.
@RavenCookiee, thank you. I have to admit, I'm a little surprised myself that my first run went so well overall so far 😅 Now I just hope she lasts a few more days
@Pjm70, It seems like the combination of biobizz light soil and the biobizz fertilizers is working good for me. She had that nice dark green color for most of the time till now 😉
Heyoo, sehr schöne Pflanzen.
Ich sehe du hattest eine Schimmelproblem, so eine *****. Du könntest die buds direkt trimmen vor dem trocknen, das verringert die Chance auf mehr davon. Die Blätter trocknen wesentlich langsamer als buds, sie enthalten einfach mehr Wasser. Ich krieg das leider auch öfter, in deutschen Sommern ist das nicht so einfach, aber im Winter wirds einfacher 👌
Beste Grüße amigo und Happy Growing🙏👽
@modmyplants, tatsächlich ist das nur eine Pflanze^^ Aber ja, auf den letzten Metern kam es anscheinend zu einem Schimmelproblem. Ich hab nach dem Ernten alles entfernt, was betroffen schien oder sonst irgendwie seltsam aussah. Bisher scheints sich während der Trocknung zum Glück nicht wieder auszubreiten.
I don't know why, but I can't save the week review inside the smoke review, so I'm commenting myself :D
Unfortunately, the drying process went a little too quickly as it was simply too warm and too dry here. After only 6 days, I did the final fine trimming and filled everything into jars (tentatively 1x Terploc Grove Bag). Even without long fermentation, the smoking experience is already very pleasant (no scratchiness, no “artificial” (fertilizer) taste). I am curious to see what flavor nuances will emerge with longer curing.
I am more than satisfied with the result of 88g dry weight from just one plant in my first run. If I hadn't had to remove some more due to the emerging mold, it might have been a few grams more.
