Ramires Both seedlings have adapted well to the move outside and are also handling the low night temperatures well. I still need to transplant Plant A, it's in too much shade.

Ramires The ladies are 8 and 10 cm tall. Since the daytime temperature is supposed to drop below 13 degrees in the next 3 days, I moved them back inside. As soon as it goes back towards 20 degrees, they'll go back outside. 2 days before week 3, I trained both with LST.

Ramires Both little plants are doing quite well outside, even though they are only 13 and 14 cm tall (stem length). However, they were indoors for the last 3 days because the daytime temperatures didn't rise above 14° Celsius. Starting tomorrow, they'll go back outside as it’s supposed to get warmer. So far, they've only been watered with pH-adjusted water, but from now on, fertilizer will be added.

Ramires Both plants were tied down twice this week. The growth isn't very strong due to the low temperatures; they are only 19 and 20 cm tall (stem length). One day later (Day 2 of Week 4), they went into pre-flowering. Since it's supposed to rain in the next few days and the outdoor temperatures aren't expected to rise above 18°C, I brought them inside. I could put one in the grow tent, while the other is in the winter garden, and it will come back out as soon as it’s supposed to be up to 30°C starting next week.

Ramires Outdoor was way too early, around mid-May after the ice saints. The plants are way too small. In between, I brought them back inside for several days. They have gone into pre-flowering.

Ramires Since the weather here in Northern Germany is supposed to be good for the next 2 weeks, they've moved back outside. A little LST was applied, and leaves that were covering the pre-flowering were removed. Otherwise, I hope they recover a bit and get back on track.

Ramires They hardly grew at all. It's still clearly noticeable that they came to the garden too early. The buds are developing well, but I don't expect a big yield.

Ramires Thanks to the good weather, the plants have caught up well. Only a few leaves were removed, and for the last time, a little LST was applied very carefully.

Ramires The last 2 - 3 weeks with over 20°C have done them good. They have stretched noticeably and are now 46 and 35 cm tall. Even the last two days with 33 and 36° C didn't bother them. The smell is becoming more pronounced and can be detected from about 2m away. A few leaves have been removed as well.

Ramires They haven't grown taller. However, the buds are developing very well, and there's no sign of pests or damage. The smell is noticeably increasing. Luckily, the northern German weather is cooperating. Otherwise, I've left the two of them alone.

Ramires They haven't grown any taller, but they're forming some really awesome flower clusters, especially Plant A. There was a caterpillar in the pot, but it was quickly removed. Fortunately, there's no significant leaf damage to be seen.

Ramires The buds are continuing to grow larger and the scent is getting stronger. The trichomes are about 50% cloudy, with some being amber as well. I think in another 2 weeks, it will be time to harvest.

Ramires For the past 4 days, both have only been getting pH-adjusted water, and in two days, the harvest is due. The trichomes are about 10% clear, 75% milky, and 15% amber. This time, I will only remove the large fan leaves and then wet-trim with a trimming machine. After that, I will place them in a drying rack and hang them in the tent at around 19° C and 55% RH.

Ramires I could have cried, this morning while watering I noticed mold on the buds of both plants. I harvested them immediately and completely disposed of the affected buds. They were supposed to be harvested in 3 days. Especially plant B had quite a bit of mold. The outdoor growing weather hasn't been the best so far. Oh well. The next indoor grow will start this weekend. 😎 Later, the buds will be trimmed with a machine and dried in a net in the tent, at about 19°C and 55% humidity. I'm curious to see how both turn out, as it's my first time processing the buds this way. After trimming, there were 275 g from plant A and 144 g from plant B of fresh buds on the scale. After drying, there will be an update on the dried amount and also a smoke report after another 14 days of curing. Plant A weighed in at 33 g and plant B at 19 g. Considering I had to dispose of a lot due to mold, I'm more than satisfied with the result. Now it's 14 days of curing and then it'll be time to taste. 😊
