This is an entry to the Best Outdoor Grow contest by Royal Queen Seeds.
Seedling stage will be handled indoors and as soon as the weather allows it, plants will be moved outdoors for the rest of their cycle.
Germinating occured within 3-5 days.
Had some gnats, so I treated the top soil with a spray of neem oil.
Grow light for the seedlings is a 300W LED lamp.
Some gnats are still here, it takes some time for the neem oil to disturb their hormones.
Overall a very good start for this strain!
Seedlings are in biodegradable pots which let the roots go through its fabric, so there will be no actual stress on the plants when I'll be transplanting in 30 liters smart pots.
I had to put thin plastic homemade "fences" between the biodegradable pots to prevent roots from different plants to intertwine because they pierce through the pots very easily! Which is good of course, no root bounding :)
A bit of drooping for one of the plants, it may be due to a tiny bit of overwatering. Should be back to normal in a few days.
Edit : it got better in two days!
Also, I started giving nutes.
Plants will go outdoors this week!
Plants are now outdoors! Let the guerilla grow 2019 begin.
I put them in 30 liters smart pots, easy to move and good for oxygenation of the roots. No transplanting shock thanks to the biodegradable seedlings bags.
I also put a pinch of bio anti-slugs.
Entering the flowering stage!
Stretch incoming.
With the wise advice of @bird_of_prey, I earthed up the surroundings of the biodegradable grow bag to favour lateral roots.
They were resilient to mold, even though there was a long storm of 4 days in the middle of their flowering session. They got stunned by a prolonged heat wave which hindered their growth a little, but the quality of the buds should be fine.
Fruity citrus scent. Quite strong high/stone (wierd energetic stone). Very sedative sometimes.
They took 9 days to get dried in obscurity, because of high temps causing relatively high RH.

@Resist, thanks for the comment. Some of my plants are directly planted in the ground on my other diaries this year. But I prefer not to in general because I did a grow in 2017 where all my plants were in the ground and they couldn't grow as much as they could have because there is a lot of clay in the soil of my region, which makes it difficult for the roots to develop.
