Germination
7 months ago
All 4 seeds germinated in eazyplugs and showed up within 48h. One of them had problems to get rid of the seedhull. So I thought about helping with a little extra humidity. Not so clever at all, see pictures. I never had issues with mold and now the second time within few days... lucky me. So I popped another one and put it straight into eazyplugs in my vegetation tent. In 48 hours we'll see if the session runs with 3 or 4 girls. They will move early next week into small airpots and about 14 days later into my beloved raised bed. Next update in about 7 days. Have a nice weekend🌿💚

Welcome to vegetation week 1. 3 days ago the 3 survivors got transplanted into small airpots and watered as always with Tyroler Glückspilze ( mykorrhiza etc.). They like it. They will move into my raised bed within a week or two from now. Because of one seedling got eaten by fungus,I tried to pop a 4. seed, but didn't get out of the eazyplug until now, I guess this will be a 3 girls run... Ok more space for the remaining 3 😁. Have a nice and relaxed weekend.💚🌿

Welcome to end of veg week 2. Time to reamend the raised bed. Used some gypsum, basalt, epsom salt and a mixture of organic amendments like kelp, alfalfa, insect frass, crab meal and chicken shit. Added some covercrop seeds and watered the bed with some mycorrhizza spores. 3 plants moved into the bed. Both evo3 lights run now 18h at 40%. The ladies will need a few days but I think they will love it. Next update in a few days. Green love...💚

Welcome to end of veg week 3. Ladies love their final home and get a wonderful green. Decided to get them topped today and gave some 36h brewed compost tea. Lights run at 40% and humidity is in a 60-65% range. This was the sadest run in terms of germination success for years (3 out of 5) but I like all 3 survivors and I bet we'll have a lot of fun together. Have a great time, next update in about 7 days. 🌿💚

I've been quite busy the last few weeks so I wasn't able to really take care for the growroom. Got some signs for thrips and found fungus gnats, so I bought some predator mites, lacewing larvae and nematodes. Seems to work. Growspace is quite occupied so I switched to 12/12 yesterday. Have a nice week.

Welcome to end of first flowering week. Plants had a decent stretch this week of about 20cm. I had to defoliate again, the scrog net is now completely occupied. Will add some epsom salt via foliar spray tomorrow. They start going into flower, not bad after 7 days. Besides that there is no need for an intervention I think. No signs of thrips and fungus gnats anymore. Battle won, we'll see if the war is over... Have a nice and green week💚🌿

Welcome to end of flowering week 3. Stretch seems to be done, we're at 90-100 cm. I went on with defoliation, plants seem to get over it quite fast. End of this week they get some tea and that should be enough. Next update in about a week. 🌿💚

Welcome to end of flowering week no. 4. It's getting frosty but I expected more growth related to budsize... let's see how it will develope the upcoming week. I wanted to add some compost tea the last week, but my air compressor doesn't work any more. Time for an upgrade since the old was a little bit weak, should get it tomorrow. Had to fix and change a dripping hose on one of the blumats, roots grew in... I have to optimize the system a little bit after this run. Thinking about buying some of these dripping rings around the plants. Any suggestions on this? Has anyone experience with blusoak? In this setup I'm using 9 blumat maxi without additional drippers in a 90x90cm raised bed. Have a nice day💚🌿

Welcome to end of flowering week no 5. Got a new air compressor so I made some tea. Think I have some minor cal/mag issues especially on the biggest plant in the back, but they will make it without much intervention. Actually I'm quite satisfied with this run. After this harvest I will do a Lab soil test, the first ever in this raised bed. It runs untouched (ok every run a bit of top dress) for several years now and I think it is time for some data... Have a green week🌿💚

Welcome to end of flowering week no 6. It's getting interesting, plants show their characteristics, a little bit of purple here and there, really rock dense and coated nugs, nice colors. I'm happily looking forward to the next few weeks, it's a pleasure. 🌿💚

Welcome to end of flowering week 7. Nothing new in the garden. Buds gain some more weight, color estabished to nice purple on 2 of the 3 girls. Stunning scent. According to the color of the trichomes there will be one or two additional weeks till harvest. I'm getting really excited. Have a nice evening, next update in about 7 days.🌿💚💜

Welcome to end of flowering week 8. Harvest is really close. I'm gonna miss this smell of lets say fruity cake... it's gorgeous. Time to prepare drying area. If it tastes like it smells and looks I'm gonna be more than satisfied. Have a good day 💚🌿

Since I really love growing here comes the most difficult part. Time to say bye. It really was a pleasure. Great plants, good run. I had some issues with the seedlings, all germinated but 2 didn't make it through the first week. 🤷‍♂️ Idk why. Over here they say aller guten Dinge sind 3 😁... Have a nice time and thanks for watching.💜💚🌿
