Salixi I am so happy that I can be part of this contest.
A big thank you to Zamnesis and Plagron for the wonderful opportunity to participate in this competition.
I am really curious to see what it will all lead to.
After checking out some of my fellow growers, I don't really expect to have a big chance of winning, but just being part of it is already an incredibly great feeling.
I also find it very exciting to compare the reports to see which training methods and products lead to which results.
I definitely see it as a unique opportunity to learn and improve my own techniques and approaches.
In this sense, I am very curious about the further developments, and of course, I look forward to visitors and followers.
Personally, I will leave a follow and a like for each participant.
Maybe this will create a good network and the other participants will reciprocate the likes and follows.
Here's to an exciting and successful time, and I wish all participants lots of success, fun, and a great time, and hopefully a good harvest at the end of the competition.
And once again, thank you very much to Plagron and Zamnesis.
Update 5.1. Today I packed it into the soil. It had sprouted, and I hope it makes it.

Salixi So, here she is, freshly hatched.
I’m calling her Candy, and I hope she really gives it her all.
For now, she’s getting root juice for a week.
I’m glad she made it,
before I tried to plant a Cosmic Noodles in that pot, but it still hadn’t shown up after 2 weeks.
I hope it’s really Runtz and not the Cosmic Noodle.
Day 2. I gave her some nutrient solution yesterday, and I think that wasn’t a good idea. It’s still too early.
Well, now she’s had a shower with Alg-A-Mic, and let’s see how she handles it.
Day 3: She’s recovered well.
Day 4: Nothing special.
Day 5: Nothing special.
Day 6: She seems to be really focusing on root growth right now :)
Day 7: The first week is done and "It’s alive!" ;)

Salixi And again, a new week begins.
Candy is obviously feeling good, and I think as soon as she reaches three real leaf pairs, I will fim her, as I have had very good experiences with that so far. Let's see if the strain can handle it. I'm curious.
Day 15: No special occurrences.
Day 16: She's making enormous leaves; I see that as a good sign.
Day 17: She's developing faster and faster.
Day 18: We're slowly entering the exciting phase.
Day 19: So the plant has been FIMmed. Now I hope for a good result and quick recovery.
Day 20: Apparently, she handled the FIMming well.
Day 21: I also slightly trimmed the lowest shoots; she seems to be preparing for flowering now, and unfortunately, the time window for HST is closing due to the autoflowering genetics.

Salixi So, another week begins, and Candy is bursting with strength.
I’ll probably give her some new training impulses tomorrow. She's starting to flower, but I’ll still consider this week as a vegetative phase.
Day 23: So, the lower shoots are already tied down, the upper ones are still too small for that.
Day 24: Nothing special today.
Day 25: Candy is doing really well, but the new shoots aren't quite ready to be trained yet ;)
Day 26: Developing excellently right now.
Day 27: Adjusted LST measures. She's developing well and responding nicely to the training.
Day 28: The week is coming to an end, the flowering can begin.

Tag 30: No special occurrences.
Tag 31: Nothing special today, Candy is thriving.
Tag 32: A few thin shoots were removed and a few leaves have also been taken off, everything looks very lush and she is starting to ramp up terpene production.
Tag 33: Now she is 34 cm tall. She's in beast mode and growing like crazy. And she actually smells a bit like Skittlez.
Tag 34: Gradually, Candy is also gaining height, it's amazing how wide she has become, is that an omen for the high?
Tag 35: Candy finishes this week at a height of 39 cm.

Salixi Tag 36: Today, Candy was stripped of a bit of her foliage and a few thin branches were removed. She has an extremely vigorous growth and is super robust in structure, and gradually the terpene content is also increasing.
Tag 37: Nothing special
Tag 38: So far so good ;)
Tag 39: I shaped Candy a bit more and distributed her shoots better.
Tag 40: Candy is developing a really beautiful crown and starting today, I'm adding Top Max.
Tag 41: Today, Candy is getting regular nutrients. I removed the two lower shoots and a few leaves. Overall, the training is now finished. Next week, I'll start with Green Sensation.
Tag 42: Excellent crown, I find her proportions very aesthetic and she is incredibly strong and huge compared to previous grows.

Salixi Tag 43: So the new week has begun. From now on, they will also get Green Sensation. I hope it won't burn them now. So far, I'm very satisfied, and it has developed into a gigantic bush. Let's see what Candy will do now. It's still a week too early, but let's see what happens.
Tag 44: So far, Candy hasn't reacted to Green Sensation yet ;) Let's see what happens now.
Tag 45: No special occurrences
Tag 46: Candy is doing great, she's thriving and is very nicely branched. All in all, it seems to me that Green Sensation is currently massively increasing the number of flowers. All three plants have gained a lot of new flowers. Now let's watch them get fatter in the coming weeks.
Tag 47: No special occurrences, stretching is slowing down.
Tag 48: Everything is within normal limits, the stretching seems to be coming to an end. The first trichomes are becoming visible.
Tag 49: The week is over again, and everything is going its course. Let's see what the fasting day yesterday does to her. Top Max and Green Sensation will now be increased.

Salixi Day 50: So now the final stretch begins. I'm a bit bothered that there's a central cola, as I had planned to shape it differently, but hey, let's see how it all develops now.
It has a diameter of just over a meter, and we will see if the lower buds also develop nicely. I'm quite confident it will be a nice yield.
Day 51: Today I thinned her out a bit in the lower area and removed a few small flower shoots.
Day 52: Two ladies have swapped places because it was getting a bit tight under the lights. Candy is now on the far left and is increasingly developing trichomes.
Day 53: The new spot seems to suit her, she's getting a bit more sun when it does shine.
Day 54: Although she appears quite thinned out, the top is absolutely dense when viewed from above. Interesting strain.
Day 55: No special occurrences.
Day 56: Another week is complete, and what can I say. The sugar production is now in full swing, and the buds are starting to grow.

Salixi A new week begins and we're heading into the final stretch.
Day 57: Things are getting really frosty right now. Candy is producing an enormous amount of trichomes. At the moment, the smell reminds me a bit of a litter box that hasn't been cleaned in a few days. I hope that changes soon :) Today I removed a few thin shoots and some of the lower leaves.
Day 58: Everything's in the green zone :)
Day 59: It's alive ;)
Day 60: Everything's normal-
Day 61: Plucked a few leaves from the lower area.
Day 62: The buds are getting stickier and starting to become denser; I think they'll be ready in about 3 weeks :=
Day 63: And another week has passed. The buds are mega frosty and ripening away. The apartment is filled with an intoxicating scent. I hope Merz won't ban this wonderful hobby from us again.

Salixi Tag 64: A new week begins, and the buds are noticeably heavier. From now on, they will get less nitrogen, and the Top Maxx will be set to maximum. I've also dosed the Green Sensation quite high at 2 ml/liter. It seems to be good for all the plants. Let's see how the harvest turns out.
Tag 65: Overall, the buds could still bulk up significantly, but there are also a lot of them. We'll see if they can really put on some weight ;)
Tag 66: Nothing special
Tag 67: Candy is feeling great and is diligently producing trichomes. All the flowers are getting good light, although of course the central cola is closest to the lamp, which limits the light amount for the lower areas. Still, all the flowers are getting sweeter. It looks like there will be a lot of golf balls ;)
Tag 68: It's maturing :)
Tag 69: No special features
Tag 70: And another week has passed.

Salixi Tag 71: Time to take a closer look at the trichomes here as well.
Tag 72: The buds are getting quite heavy and emit an unbelievably strong scent.
Tag 73: Today there's nothing special to report, except that I had to tie down a lower branch with wire after the little dog had sniffed it :)
Tag 74: Everything is going as usual, no signs of autumn yet ;)
Tag 75: I think it's slowly getting a bit more autumn-like. I'm super excited. The buds are extremely heavy and full of resin.
Tag 76: Not much is really happening visibly, except that it's getting more autumn-like.
Tag 77: And another week has gone by. From now on, she's only getting Green Sensation and Top Max, Sugar Royal, and Acti Vera.

Salixi Day 78: The buds are getting too heavy ;) But they’re not ripe yet.
Day 79: The trichomes are changing quickly, I’m thinking about harvesting them tomorrow.
Day 80: This is the last day, as the trichomes are partially amber-colored, so unfortunately, it will be harvested now. It’s a pretty high yield, but for a single main bud, you probably should have reduced all the other flowering shoots before the main bloom... So the question is, a lot of yield or an outstanding bloom ;) But let’s see how it all turns out :)
Ein sehr interessanter Strain, jedenfalls sehr schnell und super Pflegeleicht. Ertrag ist eher nicht so einfach zu maximieren, aber ich bin gespannt auf die Qualität. Alles in allem ein sehr solider Strain, den man uneingeschränkt empfehlen kann.

Salixi The day of the harvest has come, and it's always a joyful but also a sad day. I removed all the leaves without sugar, unfortunately also taking off a few small side branches with buds. I weighed those separately, and they came to 41 grams. Otherwise, a really decent yield, and I'm very satisfied with it.
As I said, since I got so many flowers from Green Sensation, I couldn't bring myself to sacrifice them all just to grow one fat main bud that could have possibly been the sexiest bud. Instead, I enjoyed the crazy number of buds, all about the size of a golf ball, which turned out super heavy and compact.
I'm curious to see what remains after drying and, of course, what aromas and quality will come out after curing.
So more details in a few weeks with the smoke report ;)
Simply beautiful, I personally think the many golf ball-sized buds are great, makes drying easier. I wanted to do it like that too, but unfortunately, the lamp wasn't enough. I'm looking forward to the smoke report and wish you lots of fun enjoying it, everything looks really delicious. 😎✌️
@Eric_Bud, Hey Eric, thanks a lot for your comment, yeah all in all I'm super satisfied, being part of it is everything. Unfortunately, it probably won't be enough to win, but let's be surprised ;)
