My first grow

TheMomo I started my first grow one week ago 🙌 I have read on the Internet a lot About the negative effects of repotting autoflower plants; the associtated stress and the possible growth Inhibition of small plants in small pots. Thats why i decided to let my plant grow from the beginning to the end in the same pot, which has a volume of 23 Liters. I put my plant in the greenhouse for the first 2 weeks to protect her from the cold of the night and the weather in General. The air humidity is also higher in the greenhouse than outside which is good for the young plant (i hope). The plant on the picture is 4 days old now. ✋

TheMomo ✋ The weather wasnt rly good this week. Half of the days were rainy...but not cold. I thought the plant grows a little faster but she Looks at least healthy to me. Next week i will release her from the greenhouse. 👊

TheMomo This week was relatively cold for the beginning of May, some nights were 5 Degrees cold. Therefore, I kept the plant in the greenhouse at night. Next week will be similar cold, so I'll wait until I leave the plant finally without a greenhouse. Despite the fact that it was relatively cold, the plant has grown well, as I think. I hope that the weather will now adapt to the season and it will be really warm and sunny again, so that the plant continues to grow properly 👌

TheMomo The weather this week was okey but not great. Already in the second week i notized some brown spots on my first 2 leafs (Picture 3), i have also seen 1-2 gnats sitting on the leafs. I researched on the Internet about this and found out that the brown spots were probably caused by the gnats: fungus gnats. I let the earth dry out and bought some neem oil, with which I sprayed the plant and the soil. Neem oil is 100% organic and protects the plant from harmful insects. After that no more brown spots were created and I saw no more insects on my plant. 👌 Next week i probably start the first low stress Training 💪

TheMomo i started 4 days ago my first low stress training and bound the main trunk down in direction to the north: 20 hours later already the plant reacted well to the training and the tribes positioned vertically. I recognized the first pistils and the plant started to grow kinda fast these days. Next week i will bend the new bigger tribes also down to create a "star" form. Its looking good so far 👌

TheMomo The week started with 2 rainy days but the weather finally got better and today we had even 27 degrees. The plant grew relatively well i would say for the weather we had here. The low stress training seems to be successfull, all the branches grow evenly high and develop well. 🙌 side informations: - since the start I water my plant only with collected rainwater, because I assume that my tap water has a too high ph-value. -the plant seems to be low with 20 cm but without the bending my plant would be arround 30cm high i would say

TheMomo The weather finally got nice and the summer has started 👌 The branches grew well and i continued to bend them down so every branch has the same altitude. The pistils are getting more. Im in week 7 and I do not know how long the plant will still grow, i hope for 1-2 weeks because of the nice weather now. 👊

TheMomo The weather was great, warm and a lot of sun. The plant stopped growing now i think, she grew only for a bit the last weak, despite the nice weather. In return the buds are now starting to grow 👌. I am not sure if i should use fertilizer now or not. A lot of people say that the plant needs some dosage of phosphor to get proper buds !? I have no idea which fertilizer i should use if i decide to use some and i am a bit afraid to burn my plant too. 😐

TheMomo Plant is doing great 👌 Perfect weather and i started to give her flower stimulators from BioBizz since 4 days. No trichomes visible so far. I am hoping for nice bud development now. 🙌

TheMomo She is doing fine. Yesterday it hailed a bit and I got panic, but it was harmless, luckily. First trichomes are visible, more on the below growing buds. Hoping that the trichomes are everywhere next 1-2 weeks 😅. Im feeding her every second day now with bio bloom and top max from biobizz. 👊

TheMomo The last 2 days were extremely hot, it was around 40 degrees but the Duck is kinda resistant. Next week is gonna be normal weather again. Buds are slowly getting fatter and more and more trichomes visible. 👌

TheMomo ✋ Many trichomes are milky already, i think about 1 week left to harvest. What do you think? Today i gave them nutrients for the last time. It rained this week 2 times really heavy and i am afraid that the rain is bad for my trichomes 😹. Maybe i am just a paranoid. 😏

TheMomo i decided to put her now for 2-3 days into the dark, in my basement, before harvesting. i flushed her for a week. I hope she gets some additional trichomes.^^ since 1 week she got some "bananas" in the buds, which blows...so i decided to harvest her these days. Trichomes seemed to be milky already a week ago. 👊

TheMomo I am really happy about the amount of the outcome, my aim was 20g, and got 36. I am a bit disappointed about the density of the buds, the are kinda airy and not really dense. I have already smoked about 1g. The buds are still not completely ready, they are mostly dry but are still smelling a bit like hay. I think they need some weeks to get proper flavour. I will upgrade the diary later with informations about the taste and the effects 🙏
