a new grow is on the cards. it will be a race between two fast-flowering varieties.
On one side we have fast buds with gorilla cookies and on the other side zamnesia with green crack F1.
i'm trying to create the same conditions for both as much as possible. it will be an outdoor grow in an autopot flexipot system. both will get the same fertilisation and have the same substrate to grow in.
the substrate is a mix of expanded clay from Plagron and coconut from Canna. The fertiliser comes from Hesi.
germination went very well. i first put the seed in water for 24 hours and then placed it in a wet paper towel for another 24 hours. the seed germinated after a total of 48 hours. then i planted it in the coco substrate and after another 48 hours the seedling broke through the soil and got its first rays of sunshine.
it will be my last outdoor grow for this year and i'm looking forward to seeing how the plants grow in late summer.
the race continues. at the moment both are still on a par. a good 5 cm in growth. there is currently a lot of sunshine and really good temperatures. apart from that, not much has happened yet.
i have now moved it to its last pot. it was a bit stressful for it and i hope it recovers well. the root formation looked really good. it is now in an autopot system and is being fed with HESI fertiliser.
unfortunately, my backyard squirrel decided to hide his nuts in exactly these two pots. i had to move the plants back into place and stabilised them with a stick. due to this setback, not much has happened in terms of growth. in addition, of course, there is the beginning of autumn. we are currently at about 12 hours of daylight. i am curious to see if they will show what they are made of or if it is a shot in the dark.
unfortunately, there is not much to report. the weather has turned to autumn much too quickly, which is not the best of conditions. she has recovered well from the eichhörnchen attack, but a second one did not escape her and threw her back a bit. i am curious to see if she will make it to flowering.
not much has happened this week. there is still some sun per day. however, the temperatures drop to 4-8 degrees at night. these are not exactly the best conditions. maybe this late outdoor experiment was not a good idea after all. however, they have not died yet.
the experiment to start an outdoor grow in germany in late september failed completely. too cold and too little sun. in the beginning it grew well. the attack of the squirrel threw it back and then the weather. it's a pity but it was worth the try. unfortunately no harvest. the plant is still on the balcony and has already survived some minus degrees. but in growth nothing happens anymore.
😕 Well, they seem alive enough to survive - I've been known to knock a seedling or 6 off a shelf without significant casualties. I'm no pro but maybe add an extra inch or 2 of substrate to help hold the ladies in place? My gals seem to enjoy getting buried to their necks at that age.

@Mo_Powers,
heh - it's only a tip if it works for ya; still can't be worse than the squirrels shovin their nuts in yer ladies faces (no means no, amirite?!)?
I like that you’re letting her go to see what happens. I’m currently doing something similar, no squirrels involved tho haha.
She’s definitely growing again. Squirrels probably damaged her poor little roots :(. Anyway, I hope she soldiers on. Good luck 🍀
