2025 Lemon Cherry Cookies Garden Grow

Kolkrabe_of_Doom First week. The ladies are starting to become visible. After they had completely germinated in a glass of water within 48 hours, with long "tails," they went into pots in the garden. Full risk, as it wasn't that warm yet. Overnight, to protect against possible frost, they got a transparent lid with holes.

Kolkrabe_of_Doom In the 2nd week, things are moving along cheerfully. No rapid growth, but that was due to the weather.

Kolkrabe_of_Doom At the end of week 3, an extreme growth boost, easily gained 20% total height in 48 hours. The sun was out more, weather better. The 3 ladies loved it. Still only 0.5l of water every 1-2 days in the morning, nothing else. No nutrients (the soil is pre-fertilized anyway).

Kolkrabe_of_Doom The three ladies are currently exploding in width. During the day, it's partly very sunny. At night, there's occasionally a little rain. Therefore, I only water every 2 days.

Kolkrabe_of_Doom The weather has gotten a bit worse again in between. But the growth continues. The first signs of flowering or pre-flowering are visible. Overall, they've gained mainly in width, but also in height, and in some cases, they've exploded disproportionately in just 1-2 days. Even growth doesn't seem to be the cannabis lady's thing :D.

Kolkrabe_of_Doom Summer is here! Current week (posting date). Another real explosion. The strain apparently loves summer. The middle one of the three ladies has already reached almost 50cm. They are all starting to flower, the first (pre)flowers are visible. Apparently, the vegetative phase is coming to an end soon. Still about 0.5 liters per day. This time they are positioned right in the middle of the garden. Wind and sun come from every side, all day long. The middle one has a few aphids, unlike the others. But as you can see, a squad of ladybugs has already arrived. Overall, I'm not worried. So I guess starting next week, I'll see if any "treatment" is necessary, but so far it looks good.

Kolkrabe_of_Doom It's around 30°C all the time, sometimes even more. So now there's more water. The ladies are already starting to form the typical red flowers of this strain. The flowering phase is starting off quite powerful and full of energy.

Kolkrabe_of_Doom The week fluctuated between extremely hot at 35°C and quite warm around 25°C. The upward growth seems to be almost finished. Big sugar leaves are starting to turn yellow. The buds are becoming more compact. Unfortunately, it's supposed to get humid next week. The plants are still standing very windy, which is good for mold prevention, etc. Let's see...

Kolkrabe_of_Doom Houston, we have a problem. It looks like there's now an acute nutrient deficiency. Besides normal senescence, meaning old leaves that die during flowering anyway, it seems that at least one lady is suffering from nutrient deficiency. So, time to boost the nutrients. The 10L pots are a downside when it rains heavily. It quickly washes all the nutrients out. So, let's add some nutrients, even though it's late in flowering, and see if she perks up, then flush at the end. Overall, I'm still optimistic. This strain needs a bit more support than the Chemdawg did last year.

Kolkrabe_of_Doom OK. The last week of flowering. I will harvest this weekend. Now the window for it is suitable and open.

Kolkrabe_of_Doom Harvest. Two plants. The third one only made it to secondary use because of bud rot. I can only say how much it will be after drying and then 2-3 months of curing. It will be less than the Chemdawg last year, but enough for me.
