Paper towel method started on July 14th. Sprouted already on July 15th. Planted in a mixture of fresh high quality potting soil and older nutrient-depleted soil in a small pot that remained outdoors (germany hardiness zone 6/7). Saw first light on July 18th.
After several weeks in the much too hot greenhouse and some relatively minor pest infestations, she was moved, now in flower mode, on Sept. 25 into a small tent with a 100 watt LED. Unfortunately I did not make any pictures of the veg period...Also unfortunate: I broke a branch, rendering the topping nearly useless. First time growing in a tent. Continuing some LST and beginning with some defoliation. Feeding with nettle tea and biobizz bloom.
After a week in the tent she is triving. Removed anything that would not amount to anything. Leaving on vacation for 2.5 weeks, but a friend indeed will water every 3-4 days with 1.5 liters of nettle tea with biobizz bloom and top max.
Very pleased with growing Shaman. She didn't have the best conditions from approximately week 3-week 9 in a very hot and humid greenhouse, but still performed very well in the end. More than an ounce for sure, which is more than I can personally consume in a year. Really lucked out with the purple phenotype. I am pretty certain that this particular plant (that was planted in mid July) would not have done nearly as well in the greenhouse, although it is clearly more an outdoor than indoor strain. Very fruity (mango, pear) aromas and surpisingly not very skunky despite the genetics.
Drying for 3 days now in tent with the fan and a dehydrator running. The dehydrator is just to increase the temperature a bit because without it it would be less than 10 degrees Celcius at night. Average day temperture is still a bit low too - about 14-15 degrees, but RH is around 60-65, so I think in about two weeks I will be able to report on the quality of the smoke.
