MisterZ Hello friends,
New grow, new diary, and therefore a new outdoor adventure.
This time I chose an old strain for its stability and limited sugary leaf quantity. Here are its detailed characteristics https://sensiseeds.com/en/feminized-seeds/whitelabel/og-kush-autoflower. The description doesn’t mention it, but it seems this strain contains a significant amount of CBD, which suits me well.
I will grow it in a 60-liter bag. I will place this bag in a somewhat wild area of my garden where it will go unnoticed. It will spend the growth phase indoors in a 3-liter plastic pot, and I will take it out at the time of flowering.
To prepare the pot: compost + mulch. With the compost from my garden, I hope to avoid a nitrogen deficiency. I will add a mixture of compost and mulch as the soil settles. I’m afraid the compost might be a bit strong and burn the plant.
Still using the same technique, germination started on July 5th. Not watering yet.

MisterZ Hello friends,
3 weeks have passed. I transplanted outdoors into a 60-liter bag. After discussing with several of you, I lightened the mix with soil from a previous grow and even more mulch. There’s now about 1/3 compost, 1/2 mulch, and 1/6 recycled soil. With this rich mix, I will only water with rainwater.
I didn’t take any intermediate photos during the transplant. The plant has a slight yellow discoloration like a mosaic between the veins. I think it’s due to overwatering during the watering in the 3-liter plastic pot. The roots had reached the bottom of the pot, and the core of the soil cylinder remained compact. I intentionally broke it up by packing the soil around.
It’s between 15 to 32°C outside these days and lots of sunshine. I watered with 5 liters of rainwater without pH correction despite the moisture in the soil. After 2 days outside, everything is going well.
The bag is placed in a poorly maintained corner and in front of other plants where confusion is possible. I hope the visitors to my garden will be more interested in the tomatoes :-) .
See you soon,
M.

MisterZ Hello friends,
It has been very hot this week, 3 days over 37°. This plant has suffered a lot. It was first bent by MisterZ during a visit 😠. Then it suffered from the heat, the thermometer went up to 39°.
When it was indoors, it started to develop some barely visible discoloration mosaics. The phenomenon has worsened since I took it outside. The discoloration has turned into a set of large spots. Despite everything, it has tripled in height and is producing new leaves while remaining frail. It's a very rich mix that I usually use for annual garden plants that thrive in humus-rich soil: cucumbers, zucchinis, and pumpkins. It's probably not suitable, but I will try to finish this session properly.

MisterZ Hello friends,
This week the temperatures were normal. This very fragile plant continues to grow. It’s 40 cm tall and is developing despite this persistent discoloration. We can now see the flowers forming.
I’m not changing anything and continue to water exclusively with rainwater.

MisterZ Hello friends,
Another 2 days at 37° this week!
This plant continues to grow, it is now 50cm tall. It is very fragile. The discoloration is still very present. On some leaves, the discoloration follows the central vein, one half is normal and the other yellow. Many lower leaves have yellow spots.

MisterZ Hello grower friends,
The outdoor conditions are mild and favorable. But as they say in the movies: the mystery thickens.
The stretch is still ongoing. 75 cm tall. She remains quite frail. Flowers have been forming for 2 weeks. Her leaves are still discolored and new leaves are discoloring either in mosaics or half split by the central vein. When half of a leaf is affected, it dries up and disappears. The other half stays green! 🤔
As for all the discolorations, I think it’s a virus present in the plastic pot I used during the first 3 weeks. Comes from cucurbits and malvaceae, impossible to treat. I will, however, thoroughly clean my little grow tent. 😮💨

MisterZ Hello friends,
This week the temperatures are mild. The stretch is continuing rapidly. The tiny flowers aren't developing much.
The discoloration is still present all the way up. It doesn't seem to be causing too many problems. A leaf only dries out if it is completely discolored.

MisterZ Hello grower friends,
The weather conditions have worsened. It's a maximum of 23° and it's raining a lot.
The plant is now over a meter tall and still remains quite fragile. The discoloration is very noticeable. The flowers are very small and thin but from a distance, they give off a delicious sweet cannabis scent.
I still don't use any fertilizers and I'm watering with rainwater.

MisterZ Hello grower friends,
It's cool this week. The stretch is well over. The flowers smell but they're stretching without density. I think it's related to its infection. The foliage is still partially discolored but seems stable to me. As long as the flowers aren't dense, I'll leave the plant exposed to the rain.
No watering this rainy week.
See you soon,
M.

MisterZ Hello. This week it's cooler at 8 to 23°. The stretch is well over. A few lower flowers are getting denser, but most have stretched and are very frail. On the other hand, the smell seems strong compared to the size of the flowers. The discoloration doesn't seem to be progressing anymore, but about half is mosaic yellow. I added a photo of Mister Z's exploits. He's a very big hunter. This very common "green and yellow" snake is not venomous, but its bite can be sharp. This one was 1.2m.

MisterZ Hello fellow growers.
This week has been tough for this already damaged plant. The Aitor storm uprooted and laid it down. I propped it up and added mulch to try to keep it upright.
The leaves seem less discolored, but they have all been damaged. The flowers are developing into long, thin filaments between 20 and 40 cm and without density. You can already see the resin forming very distinctly. I'm surprised by the smell it produces, which is not in proportion to the size of its flowers. At 10 meters, you can smell the scent spreading.
I also added compost to feed it and I'm watering with rainwater.
Enjoy,
M.
C'est difficile de donner une note. Je pense que cette plante a contracté un virus du pot en plastique dans lequel elle a passé les premières semaines. C'est une variété de mosaïque à laquelle elle a plutôt bien résisté. Les fleurs ont filé et formé des filaments floraux très odorants et couverts d'une très fine couche de résine.

MisterZ Well, we’re at the end of this grow. I checked with a microscope and found out it’s probably been ripe for a few days. This plant resisted the mosaic virus that developed from the first weeks. Then it endured 2 storms and was completely laid down by the Kirk storm. I cut the whole plant down to the ground and put it to dry. I removed the largest leaves. I’m not sure if I can use the flowers.
The bag is really too big to move according to the weather, and the space is too windy to place any protection. I saw in a diary a DIY trick to secure a pot with the plant to prevent it from being uprooted during a move; I’m going to try to do the same for the next season!
After taking photos with flash, the leaves I observe are the sugar leaves. Instead of curling up, they have grown longer. They are covered with a very fine layer of resin that’s not very visible from the outside. The little balls are the empty seed sacs. I’m not sure about smoking that much plant material, but I could make some Marrakech butter. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/178930-grow-journal-by-misterz
Thanks to everyone for your support and feedback. 🙏👍👌
@Natrona, it's not easy to find the right spot sheltered from everything and with the best exposure 🤔. I'm experimenting with this spot for the season. 😀
Your tomatoes look spectacular!
I love them! 😍
Let's hope this little plant didn't suffer from the transplant, because my experience is that transplanted Autos that have reached the bottom of the pot tend to stay small.
I hope that doesn't happen to you!
