TruTraTri Thx for the opportunity to join the contest.
This will be the only long week description, the rest will be just weather + log 😎 So skip or fight through for one time 😅
I don't think it's cheating if I plant them later, my loss of a few weeks. Not like with the Autos of the contest 😁.
Update:
Finally time to get schwifty.
Plumbus, Fleeb and Hizzard were planted directly in substrate @22.05.
@27.05. Popped
@29.05. Each plant had 1–3 aphids on the cotyledons. Removed manually. Will likely apply neem oil prophylactically in 1–2 weeks and add coconut discs on top of the soil
@08.06.Update week 1
%%%%% General Information %%%%%
Reports will be similar to the Rambo Zambo - Sauerkrautman Bubatz diary:
Weather data = fetched + calculated + estimated data, no measurement, no control on quality, accuracy, reasonability
All will be potted in 20L construction buckets with a cheap soil mix (~10,-€/100L).
Not a real guerilla grow but they will be placed more or less in a forest.
- harsh circumstance (wind, cold, moist/fog)
- lot of living things
- few direct sunlight (~50%)
- I am not around much (probably a good thing😅)
Documentation without any experiments/training would be boring. Will be decided later depending on growth and time schedule; if necessary a "weekly" (in terms of GD week) update could be in a range of 14 days(start of first and end of second week). I can manage this, idk if I could manage training effort and check ups.
Start of the structured updates will be done when they move in their final pots. Depending on the growth ~2-4 weeks.
Peace among worlds!👆

No photos were taken this week due to persistent rainfall, with documentation postponed to clearer days.
On June 8, a second unplanned transplant was carried out from ~0.3L to ~0.5L pots, caused by delays in other tasks. Plants remain unnamed pending final containers. One seedling suffered a torn root ball during handling.

The final location is still occupied. As one of the ladys got some wind damage, I am considering a top as I will have them around for ~2-4 weeks. I decide about that midst week after they react or don't react on the transplantation.

%%%%% LOG ENTRY %%%%%
On June 10, 90° clips were applied at the stem base to restrict height and increase wind resistance. The clips were kept tight to train a strong central structure for later cola support. Daily monitoring was performed; burial of bent areas is under consideration. Root growth is vigorous, already visible at the bottom of the containers.
Clips were removed by June 12. Yellowing leaves were defoliated from one plant. A foliar feed was attempted but may have been too concentrated.
By June 15, clip-related stress and pot-bound conditions became apparent. Although larger containers are needed, portability constraints require the same size. Substrate loosening and replanting are being considered to restore balance.

%%%%% LOG ENTRY %%%%%
On June 18, Shaman plants were temporarily transplanted into small fabric pots due to visible signs of starvation. Final containers and location are still 1–2 weeks away.
By June 22, plants showed increased yellowing and signs of transplant stress. Hot conditions triggered visible heat and light stress—leaves curled into a canoe shape.
%%%%% FARM SAYING %%%%%
“Put off transplanting in heat, or your plants admit defeat.”
%%%%% COMMENT %%%%%
The bending of the main steam mostly led to thickening - a build up of the first two branches wasn't pushed forward as much as I hoped. I'll let them grow a week or until final transplantation and decide about removal.
The delay in transplantation has larger impact than I thought, the new soil is not packed with direct availlabe nutrition and the small pot size hindered root development, Nonetheless, their early development was fine and fast, so I am positive they won't mind much and recover fast in their final pots.

%%%%% LOG ENTRY %%%%%
On June 27, Shaman plants were moved by plant bike taxi to Froopyland and transplanted into final 20L pots. Lower branches were removed and planted deeper to anchor growth. Timing was less than ideal: small pots stressed the plants too long, emergency potting into fabric pots was too late/short and not good for repotting and final transplanting occurred under hot conditions.
Forgot initial watering but returned 2 days later; plants looked already greener and gained a bit of height already. Now left mostly unattended to settle in.

Severe heat early in the week, followed by cooler showers and reduced sunlight.
Forecast: Heat persists into next week, with scattered rain and humidity shifts.
%%%%% LOG ENTRY %%%%%
Despite two days of brutal heat, the Shaman plants reacted with visible vigor—deeper green leaves and noticeable growth just days after transplanting. Early stress may have hardened them. Genetics appear well-suited to a rough, low-maintenance style.
July 4: Lower yellowing leaves were removed to improve airflow. Overall development now looking strong.
%%%%% COMMENT %%%%%
Fleeb: "Stay out of my personal space"
Plumbus: "Get outta dat personal space"
Hizzard: "Keep away from dat personal space."
Repotting was necessary, I hope it did not take too long to recover and show strong growth. At the moment I am very positive and hopes are up for a good harvest for such short veg. Just pictures of one day, so more or less the same pic. I hope next time I see them they are big enough for single shots 😅

Warm and stable with light rain mid-week – ideal conditions for structured early growth.
Forecast: Continued mild warmth with occasional showers – low stress, balanced substrate hydration.
%%%%% LOG ENTRY %%%%%
Plumbus looks rickdiculous—the best by far, with the most leaf mass, height, and width. Hizzard is definitely the Jerry of the bunch: taking the early stress personally, slow to get going. Fleeb is more of a Summer in a clone vat—shooting up quickly, but with less mass and narrower overall structure. Lower growth after early LST was removed due to stagnation, but oddly, none of the plants are pushing lateral shoots yet. It’s less “strange” and more like a Glip Glop growth anomaly.
%%%%% COMMENT %%%%%
Think the mass of stress was too much and the repotting in final pot would've needed at least 1 smaller pot. Be it as it may. Everything coming out of them is for free by the sun. So I still hope for some developement - perhaps a month more of veg could be enough for a good stretch height.

Conditions remained mostly mild with a warm, dry finish to the week. Light showers early on kept soil moisture high; consistent sun and rising temps supported steady development.
%%%%% LOG ENTRY %%%%%
Mid-week, a full rainwater watering was applied—despite pots still holding weight—to support root development and correct for potential stagnation. A fulvic acid boost was added in hopes of stimulating stronger uptake. Weather remained stable, giving the plants time to adjust without added stress.

%%%%% LOG ENTRY %%%%%
Training outcomes are officially Cronenberg’d. Early attempts at shaping backfired—plants remain stunted with no significant branching. Root issues persist, and despite efforts, foliage stays pale and weak. The decision to bend without vertical structure, followed by extended stress, removed all lower potential.
Handling style this round was just the worst.
%%%%% COMMENT %%%%%
Considering relocating them. Constest is messed up anyway, perhaps transplantation in a smaller pot and indoor finish.

%%%%% LOG ENTRY %%%%%
Persistent damp and cool conditions worsened existing problems. Early LST zones remain stunted and chaotic, likely due to compounded root stress. While the tops are trying to push upward, it’s likely too little, too late—new lateral growth has appeared, but there’s not enough time left for proper development. Considered salvaging indoors, but starting anew might be more viable. Still, if any of these shoots step up, cloning might be worth it—because when Shaman's dialed in, she *goes full Pickle Rick*.
%%%%% COMMENT %%%%%
My bad. The new growth looks super nice, but the "training" was a mess up. Not much veg left 😭 hope I can make some space for a cutting - if there is one to cut 😅

Warm, moderately bright, and intermittently wet. Alternating sunny spells and rain kept soil moisture balanced; elevated humidity after rain warrants mold checks in dense foliage.

By August 8, plants had entered pre-flower—recent growth spurts were likely just stretch. All three remain small, deformed “Cronenberg” dwarfs and will be left to finish naturally. Disappointing given the early flowering, as this trait could make them ideal for outdoor grows in temperate continental climates.
%%%%% Comment %%%%%
The more new growth you see, the more you can see that I messed it up with my stupid training and repotting😪 Don't want to make any cuttings from preflower or flower, so that's it. Nothing impressive, no big harvest. Some flower close ups and diary finishing. Weather and everything else does not really matter anymore 😬
Thx Dutch Passion for the sponsorship. If I run out of outdoor photos Shaman will be taken into consideration without spectacular mess up LST 😛
