Hawaii goes to Germany

Wenz004 After I got a replacement and finally had time again - I finally got one of the seeds to grow 😁

Wenz004 Everything is good so far - I'm slowly getting good growing conditions again.

Wenz004 The first week of stretch is over and it went smoothly. Switched to my favorite nutrient, Aptus. Gradually increased EC from 1.4 to 1.6. Currently drinking about 2-3 liters per day, always fertilized, Coco style. Added side lighting immediately with the first week of flowering. I'm slowly starting to like my Sativa 😁.

Wenz004 Now I understand why Sativa takes so long - after 2 weeks and 2 days of stretch, hardly any real buds are visible - today 4.1 liters of drink inhaled rather than drunk. Let's keep going.

Wenz004 Stretch is slowly coming to an end - unfortunately a bit too late, the top buds are getting too close to the main LED (already sticking to the ceiling with straps) - that sucks. RH was crap this week - I just couldn't get it down (despite heavy pruning) and therefore couldn't maintain a high VPD. Thirst and transpiration were enormous. Let's continue with the Sativa long adventure.

Wenz004 This week and next week I have to switch to self-watering - so only mineral Canna products - hopefully it tastes good. EC down to 1.5

Wenz004 In the past week of absence, the plant has almost died. EC drain was no longer measurable. My EC device stops at over 6. Probably total over-salting. Almost all leaf edges are damaged and many leaves are completely gone. I don't know if it's due to the aqua flores - maybe not suitable for this or because there was too little drain. I've now flushed several times with ta flash clean and brought the EC drain down to 1. From now on, I'll be hand-watering with Aptus - I've never had such problems with that. Note - when changing fertilizers again, make sure to flush properly beforehand. Onward to the rescue.

Wenz004 it's running - but slowly

Wenz004 —

Wenz004 This Sativa is really amazing - even though three weeks ago all the leaf edges and tips were burned from severe over-fertilization and countless leaves completely died - it still has an incredible thirst - usually about 4 liters per day - on some days even 5 liters - so there’s still hope for a tasty harvest - about 4 weeks to go until then - Sativa, after all.

Wenz004 A bit unusual this plant - drank 7 liters yesterday - still 3 weeks to go - next week I'm going to EC 2.1

Wenz004 Just 2 weeks left - still many clear trichomes - a few brown ones

Wenz004 The ripening has begun - trichomes are getting better - but still not to my taste - one more week - I ordered dryferm bags

Wenz004 So slowly a Sativa is growing - so slowly the trichomes are ripening too. 😬

Wenz004 Ripening is better now - harvest will be at Christmas - what a gift.

Wenz004 Everything trimmed wet this time and packed in Fermbags. Drying now for 7-10 days at 19 degrees and 54% RH.
