All are still in vegetative stage except Glueberry, which is in pre-flowering and already shows some pistils.
Strikingly, the stem of Lemon Orange forked in two on its own, as shown in the photo.😳
(Todas siguen en fase vegetativa excepto Glueberry, que esta en pre-floración y ya muestra algunos pistilos.
Llamativamente, el tallo de Lemon Orange se bifurco en dos por si solo, como se ve en la foto).
Glueberry is in its first week of flowering, while the remaining 4 are still vegetating. Currently 14h20m day / 9h40m night.
Apical Black Lebanon and Gorilla Girls, and double apical Glueberry.
Remove low branches and cut all primary leaves (I usually keep them for the duration of the vegetative stage). I also cleared all the inner part of the plants with a little “lollipop” pruning.
I will not prune any more, except for a few leaves here and there.
Saludos!

Now we are in full bloom! This week I will do the last fertilization with a low dose of PKS and then only water until the cut. The soil here is already very rich in organic matter and retains fertilizers very well.
This week I have applied foliar chitosan and potassium silicate to induce response mechanisms against fungi, but if very rainy weeks come, I do not rule out using a chemical fungicide for agricultural use (I am a farmer and I have tons of that shit, :).
I have a lot of vertical space and little horizontal space, that's why I'm not using networks. Only a central 8 mm iron stake, in the absence of a net, to prevent the weight of the buds from bending the side branches, I am tying them to the central stake with ropes made of “t-shirt rags” (they have just the right elasticity and do not hurt the plants, and I have many old t-shirts, haha). It is an economical and simple, but effective solution. Likewise, for those who do not have horizontal space problems, I recommend using networks!
Glueberry OG I'm going to cut it next week (before the rains announced for Monday the 24th. Greetings!
There are very few varieties like this one, with 8-9 weeks of flowering, that start flowering very early outdoors (this one did so a week after the summer solstice) and are ready to harvest much earlier than other varieties with 7 weeks of flowering.
Harvest on 25/feb, which would be equivalent to 25/aug in the northern hemisphere. Impressive!
The taste/smell is classic, European, and serves as a break from the prevailing tarpenes. It is not sweet but herbal, but what stands out is its good effect, strong but happy enough to be able to smoke it during the day as well.
Variety prone to suffer from Botrytis because it develops super thick and compact buds. I harvested it a week earlier than expected when the first infected buds appeared.
Beautiful plant, with a spectacular structure and that when green lives up to its name and smells delicious.
The harvest was on 02/March equivalent to 02/September in the northern hemisphere.
The yield was 1016 g of dried and bottled buds.
@Sweet_Seeds, Hi Apolo. Last year I grew Strawbery Sherbet Cola, Cream Mandarine Fast, Purple Punch OG and Gorila Girl. GG was the best by far. Great production and resistance to Botrytis. Excellent flavor and effect. That's why I'm repeating it. Saludos para España y fuerza Valencia!
In ground i think is better than pots when grown outdoors, i think the temperature resistance it builds in the roots and the microbes are better for the plants pheno's and the race to get to that, but that is just from my experience from this years grow i did indoor and outdoor. Good luck.
@Danger_Mouse, That is correct, i used to do something similar unfortunately i learned the hard way except i used red solo cups for seedlings and i was transplanting them into the ground with out having a rim around the roots or a root ball developed and the plants always had problems. I switched to using Jiffy pots but now i transplant the Jiffy after having the seedlings under my 250W L.e.d. in solo cups and then transplanting outdoor or under my 600watt i have no complaints anymore.
@Sativagrows, Of Course. The key is to transplant quickly into the ground to allow for significant root development. This year, I germinated in 1-gallon pots and moved directly to the ground. In my first outdoor crops, I used to transplant into 5-gallon pots first and then plant large plants in the ground, which is a mistake.
