Irrai Fat Bastard was already a powerhouse in the last grow and was meant to act as a backup in case the other strains suffered excessive losses. Since I still have the Stixx, I should be able to easily keep the little one through the first month until the Ice Saints, but more on that later...

Irrai I moistened the light mix with warm water — about 5–6 liters per 25 liters of soil — and firmly filled the 9L pots, letting them temper for a few days beforehand. Meanwhile I tested and fine‑tuned the CO2 system. 🌡️💧?
I gave them a rudimentary setup, but it should be enough until they're moved outside. 🛠️
So far nothing unusual has happened — no stretching or other issues — we wait in eager anticipation. 🤞🌱✨

Irrai They’re doing well beside the tent, but you can already see a big difference after two weeks even though the conditions are similar. At first I wanted to leave the topping as shown in image 1, but I found the development in the tent with direct topping better and went over it again. 🌱✨👍

Irrai I’m a bit behind on week 3 — I was out of action for a short time and still need a little more time; week 4 will follow at the end of this week 😋.
They are visibly struggling more than the ones in the tent right next to them — whether it’s due to better distribution of humidity or CO2 I can’t say; even inside the tent the variation in appearance and growth rate is very large.
All good so far — no notable incidents . After stressful periods I water additionally with Alg‑A‑Mic in low doses 💦; so far no negative effects observed 🙂.

Irrai My little fighter is being hardened off for outdoors and had to endure a lot; otherwise she’s not really making much progress despite similar lamp output… maybe she now needs that well‑deserved rest.💪

Irrai After the "second" broke off again, I fixed them a bit with insulating tape a few days ago, hoping they’ll grow over it 😅. They’ll be going outside soon — I hope the move doesn’t stress them more than they already have. 🌤️🤞
I paused the CO₂ tests for now because with low ventilation and at 1,200 ppm the bottle emptied almost instantly — so it will most likely be a case of CO₂ running out during the flowering phase. 💨⚗️

Irrai Looks like "next week" was optimistic 😑 — if things go as they are, the outdoor transfer will probably happen the week after next. For the little, mistreated Fat Bastard things still look good; she still has enough life left to recover. I was honestly surprised how tough she is, considering I’ve basically stolen about 75% of the plant count from her by mistake... 😅. Top priority now: better weather, since I had to switch Styx over to power the second of the four new ladies, which leaves each lamp running at a max of 100 W. ☀️🌱💡

Irrai Finally—it's happening! The first two babies got moved out. Safety-Mole is watching the construction site like a pro, and little Fat Bastard is already excited for more — although she really didn’t want to let go of her fabric pot. After a bit of wriggling and tussling, she gently flopped into the soil. 🌱💤
So far she’s settling into her new spot and getting used to all the unfamiliar stimuli. So far, she’s been spared from ants and slugs. 🐜🚫🐌🚫

Irrai I'm occasionally removing one of the top leaves when it's blocking too much light. I also welcomed a new lady to the garden — she might soon make short work of the Fat Bastard, so since I couldn't move her up or out of the way, I had to fence her in for now. Because I can't yet predict how big she'll get and she still has plenty of growing time ahead, I put together a temporary setup that was definitely given the side-eye. 🥦🐶😎
You'll find more snapshots in the Dankberry Outdoors — she rarely sits where I want her to, let alone stays put… but when she does, it's picture-perfect. 😍

Irrai After some LST the plant outgrew its old support, so I upgraded to a bigger cage — that once-tiny leaf ball was already peeking over the old fence. 🌱➡️? The girl is thriving despite the weather, though she’ll still need quite a while to finish. ⏳🌦️
So far I’m relieved not to be battling any crawling pests or critters — no unwanted visitors yet, so all good. 🐞🚫😊
@squalino, Merci pour les félicitations, mon ami. Je suis curieux de voir comment elles vont se développer puis si cela donnera des différences d'arôme.
@Growingdaddyo, Nicht schlimm, die campen ja beide noch neben dem Zelt und wenn im Mai der Frost durch ist gehts raus in die wilde natur und dann können sich meine Bienchen drum kümmern 🐝🐝🐝👨🌾
@squalino, Je crois qu'elle me déteste déjà un peu et elle a l'air triste aussi, mais je suis plein de confiance qu'avec une direction stricte mais juste elle grandira et prospérera plus tard. 💪😅
@tantrumrage, ja sah zwar zwischenzeitlich echt nicht gut aus mit den ganzen Patzern aber sie hat sich echt gut gemausert und ihre Schwestern, ausm letzten Run im Zelt, haben ja das Potential schon gezeigt 💪🥦😏
Ich find ja die sieht aus als ob sie gerne größere Schuhe hätte.. nicht mal überlegt ganz zärtlich? 😅 Oder vielleicht in n großen eimer Stellen? Sollte eigentlich flockig durch den stoff kommen wenn er schön feucht ist😅
Richtig schöne dicke Stängel die will meeeeeehr 😜
@TruTraTri, Ja das stimmt aber die sollte ja auch nach meinem Plan vor 2 wochen raus und wie gesagt die Leistung der Stixx reicht nicht mehr ganz aus... aber morgen ist es endlich soweit 👨🌾🌿
