Balkon Grow Norddeutschland

JudgeDredd My first grow ever. Unfortunately, I can't recall the exact start date anymore; the photos are from May 28, 2024, so they must have been about three weeks old. Right after planting them in the final pots (maybe a bit too big😬), one of the Auto Night Queens got decapitated by my dog😤

JudgeDredd The weather was more than modest, yet the plants are doing quite well. Photos are from 06/20/24. Interestingly, the topped Night Queen survived. I didn't even know you could use your dog for topping too! 😂

JudgeDredd Weather sucks, rain, cold, etc. But they're growing like crazy!

JudgeDredd The first Auto Night Queen is probably entering the flowering phase. They've made a decent push. Weather is still annoying and changeable.

JudgeDredd I'm already struggling with the height. Hiding isn't really possible anymore, and they smell pretty good too. 😇

JudgeDredd I'm here and now. Photos are from 15.7.24. One Night Queen is further along than the other, the topped one is just starting to bloom. The Apple is showing slight signs of pre-flowering. I'm a bit shocked by the size of the plants, according to Dutch Passion, a maximum of one meter😳 Well Switched fertilizers from Compo to Biobizz about a week ago. Maybe it helps... The first sugar leaves are forming😀 I'm curious to see if the buds will get thicker. The weather is perfect for the first time. No rain or thunderstorms, just pure sunshine.

JudgeDredd Another week gone by. Except for the Apple, everyone is in flowering. The last two days with over 30 degrees and pure sunshine have made the buds practically explode and left the ladies thirsty. I had a bit of a battle with whiteflies and their larvae on the plants. Other than that, everything is on track. In the mornings and evenings, the buds of the most advanced Queen look damn frosty.

JudgeDredd Another week done. Weather is good to moderate. The buds are getting thicker. When it rains, the two big ladies always come inside; I don't want to risk mold, etc. One Queen seems to have developed some kind of foxtailing 😏; at least the buds are getting longer rather than thicker. But I don't care, for my first grow ever, I'm satisfied. I'm now affectionately calling her Foxy. The second big Queen looks much more compact in terms of the buds. The one that got "topped" by the dog is also doing well. The Apple Blossom isn't showing any signs of going into flowering 😏. I’ll give Foxy a maximum of three more weeks; the trichomes are slowly turning milky, and there are also a few amber ones. Maybe it will go faster with the sunny and warm weather.
