Lotopharg 03.06.25 Day 13: The seedlings look healthy. Every few days, I spray the surface of the soil to prevent it from drying out. The Frostbanger auto is a bit too leggy for my liking, I'm considering adding some soil from the old grow to support it and allow for upward root growth. Today, each bag received about 1 liter of water. Since I couldn't find good saucers, I'm using shoe insoles. So far, everything is going well and rather uneventful.

Lotopharg 12.06.25 The Frostbanger looks sick. It shows stunted growth, the leaves are thin and almost cracked. No pests are visible. Lemon Cherry Cookies and LSD-25, however, look vigorous. I only water a little every few days. Today I made the pots quite wet, as it's supposed to get warm in the next few days.

Lotopharg LCC and LSD have gained a bit in growth. The Frostbanger still looks a bit weird, but the new shoots look a bit more normal for the first time, maybe it'll grow out of it after all.

Lotopharg 10.07.25 LSD-25 is stretching very nicely, could have possibly been a candidate for topping. LCC has developed beautiful side branches, reminds me a lot of the Banana Purple Punch in terms of growth. They must share genetic material. The Frostbanger has died. Very unfortunate, but it was to be expected; the plant was sickly from the start and developed very strange leaves.

Lotopharg I am very satisfied with the two remaining ladies. Both are showing nice side branches. The LSD has started to grow unevenly, like a cutting at the top. Both are already smelling a bit.

Lotopharg I've got a bit of thrips infestation. And someone is boring tunnels through the leaves. You have to expect that on the balcony due to the low biodiversity. Next year, I'm planting a mint barrier again. I started fertilizing and watering a bit more this week because I noticed that the LSD auto is very thirsty. I removed a few chewed fan leaves that were covering smaller budsides; I know that's rather unusual outside, but my ladies get very little light on the balcony, and I haven't gone overboard with it. I'm naturally worried about how they'll react to the removal of nutrient reserves in the leaves during the later flowering phase. The LCC has also developed a small banana in one spot (hermaphrodite alert) where I removed leaves. I haven't found any more; I think that was a (one-time) stress reaction. Still good to know, I'll leave her leaves alone from now on. Unfortunately, some of the white hairs are already brown; hopefully, it didn't get pollinated (the banana was still too young). The side branches of the LCC are developing very nicely and are becoming more stable. She will surely yield well. The LSD is starting to form beautiful purple buds.

Lotopharg The whole week there was very bad weather, but the two didn't let it bother them too much. LSD auto is really putting on some nice buds. LCC auto has finally started to drink a bit more, despite the bad weather. And both ladies are already smelling quite tempting. I'm very happy with the two and I'm eagerly waiting for some sunshine 😎

Lotopharg The weather has been very bad (except for today). I checked everything for mold paranoidly and removed nibbled fan leaves. The balcony just smells amazing 😎 I hope my neighbors feel the same way. The LSD-25 auto is still swelling nicely 😏 The Lemon Cherry Cookies auto hasn't really gained much mass, but it's still drinking diligently. Maybe some more mass will come. We'll see! 😎 I'm still hoping for sunshine and a few days without rain! Cross your fingers for me.

Lotopharg The weather is finally good this week🌄 The LSD-25 auto is drinking significantly less now despite the good weather. I take that as a sign that it’s probably done swelling and is ripening. Some white hairs are already turning brown. It's really foxtailing and has developed some funny pointy buds that unfortunately look a bit airy. The LCC auto is still diligently drinking, but it’s not getting much thicker either. I'm still very satisfied with both, as they smell fantastic and are nice to look at 😎💖

Lotopharg Not much has happened this week. Over the weekend, there was the last fertilization. This week, it's just water, and there's hardly any drinking going on anyway. The buds are basically done and haven't really swelled up since last week. Almost all the pistils are brown, here and there you can still find a white pistil, but only in fresh spots. I think they'll be ready by Saturday 😎❤️ I'm already excited! LSD-25 is foxtailing nicely, but the buds are bigger yet fluffy. LCC is much denser, but with smaller buds and no trace of purple 😅 I considered stressing them a bit over the last few days and putting some ice cubes on the soil, but I think I'll just let them ripen in peace. 😎👋

Lotopharg After three days, the buds were already dry and ready to cure. I can hardly wait to try the finished flowers. Unfortunately, a very small yield, the weather really let me down. If the effects profile suits me, I can definitely imagine growing it again.

Lotopharg Overall, I would have liked the buds to be noticeably firmer and thicker. However, I quite like the color and the smell. The buds smell like cherries and berries, but they also have a sour gasoline note and a incense note that reminds me of dark Afghan hashish! I also used the post to document my drying box.
