I decided to start another grow! Since I have a nice balcony to the southern side (sun all day) and live in the region of Germany with the most sun hours, I decided to try a 100% outdoor grow. For this I chose an auto flower from Gas Station. These came as freebies but I think that the genetics speak for themselves. The Original Z crossed with Sherbanger. What a fudging genetic that is, I'm really excited because I love the Z terps so much. And I trust Gas Station 100%, they're my go-to when it comes to proper US genetics.
So let's see how this one goes! Wish me luck that the weather stays awesome the next 3 months.
The seeds germinated after 24h. But I wanted to wait until the tap root is a little bit longer before planting the seed. This was the case on 8th of April. The soil mix consists of BioBizz light mix on the top (approx. 40%) and all mix at the bottom. I planted the seed into an EazyPod als always but this time, I put the pod into the soil directly. I watered it with 500ml of water with Root Juice.
// Day 1
The small girl came out of the soil after 2 days but managed to pop off the seed capsule after 3 days. So I consider that day the day of her birth on 11th of April.
// Day 2
She looks completely different today. Got some nice green color and her first leafs are coming out. Autoflowers are so much faster than photoperiodic plants, no joke. Still no watering needed.
// Day 3
She got her first day fully outside. Some wind was nice and the sun was not that strong so I thought it was the perfect day to help her with acclimation. The soil became dry so I watered her with 250 ml of water with root juice.
// Day 7
Bad weather = slow grow. What should I say, it's how it is when you rely on environment. Had an amazing start into April this year but it's raining now for 3 days straight. So I can only put my plant in front of the balcony door instead of outside on the balcony. Since I do not want her to get contaminated with rain water. Hopefully the weather get's better in the upcoming weeks so that she can grow before hitting flower.
// Day 8
Got 500ml of water with root juice, a nip of CalMag and a nip of silic rock. Today is a sunny day so she is outside on the balcony. UV should be fine but I will observe her.
// Day 9
Small progress as every day. Maybe too much sun yesterday. She got some funky spots on the upcoming leafs, I don't know what this is but I will watch her closely. Today I try to not stress her with too much sun.
// Day 12
Watered with 1L of water. This time I also put in Acti-Vera and CalMag. She is extraordinary small for day 12. But that's thanks to the weather I guess. I'm still very confident that she will evolve to a beautiful plant.
