I put the seeds in regular potting soil (see picture for details) on 18-05. Didn't germinate the seeds first but just put them in the soil and poured water on it. After 4 days the first seed came up and the rest came the following days. Just before the end of the week the last one came up.

Pictures are 11 days from planting the seeds. We have very inconsistent weather here in The Netherlands. So can't say much about how much sun they get. But today is a good day with sunshine. I give them only a bit of water when the top of the soil is quite dried out. I bring them back inside in the evening and only set them outside when there is sunshine. They get some nice sun in the morning behind the window.

When would be the best time to pot them in the 20L pots and leave them permanently outside. In The Netherland there are quite some fluctuations in temperature and weather even in the summer. So i want to be sure they can handle it.

Hey, just leave them out. the temperature is good to go know. even at night. And, let them go dry. lift the pot, when its easy like no water is inside, water them again. makes the roots grow better, faster, and you want get problems with to wet and shit. ;) go out, get some wilg. Take just the young, green, flexible steams. Cut them small, like 1 cm pieces. Put it in a bowl, but please, no plastic. Than cook some water, and rinse it over the wilg into the pot, and let it stay for 36 hours. than take the water, the rest you can put on the compost or put it into the nature. Take some water, add the same amount of wilgwater and give it to your babys !!! There is a grow hormone iside the water that makes the roots grow faster !!!! just try it !

Hello The plant are doing well. I think i will pot them in bigger pots (20L) in the end of the week when i have some time. Noticed i few little black flies on my plants under the leaves along with really small green spots. (see photo) I removed the black flies with a pincet. But the really small green things i can't remove without worrying i would damage the plant. (the tip of the pincet is quite sharp) I was thinking to maybe buy Canna Cure to get rid of the bugs. For now the bugs doesn't seem damaging much although plant 3 seems a little deformed but not sure if it's due to bugs. Checked my plants and for now only the Holy Punch has bugs on it. (see my other report) I put a ladybug larvae on the plant let see if it helps haha Greetings 👻

Planted them in 20L pots at the end of the previous week. Didn't expect the roots have grown so fast in comparison with the size of the plant. The roots reached the bottom of those quite high 1.5L pots. So my advice next time would be that it's better to transplant them in bigger pots earlier. When it's sunny you really can see them make progress :D

With the very good weather here tnhe plants managed to almost double in height in 7 days time. Due to rain i didn't have to water the plants manually. Everything looks well. Sometimes i have to remove some aphids but a few of them won't hurt the plant that much. I sprayed the plants with Cannacure hope it helps a bit.

Hi there! Looks like maybe your soil has been too wet for awhile or it has been very hot. It'll be good just watch your watering and if can move her when raining hard take her to under cover so you can handle watering. Also if very hot day and she is in straight sun all day some shade would be good.. Happy growing!

Day 37: A lot has happened in one week. The plants have grown quite a lot in 7 days. #1: +19 cm to 45 cm #2: +31 cm to 56 cm #3: +24 cm to 45 cm #4: +22 cm to 40 cm Plant to #2 is really the winner at the moment. Not sure why but probably genetics and plant #1 was hit quite hard by the heat i guess and that's why the grow has stalled a bit. Quick update Day: 40 (27-06): Plants have grown quite crazy in 3 days. We had crazy amounts of sun en 25+ temperatures. A little to hot even on the hottest days #1: from 45 cm +2 cm to 47 cm #2: from 56 cm +11 cm to 67 cm #3: from 45cm +10 cm to 55 cm #4: from 40cm +10 cm to 50 cm #1 Is probably still hurt from the windburn it received. Hope it picks up too but we will see. #2 Looks like it secretly took some steroids or something. Probably has the strongest genetics of the 4 plants can't think of anything else. #3 and #4 passed #1 in growth so it looks really nice for them :D 🙏🙏🙏

When i came back from vacation the plants seemed to have grown a lot in 10 days. They really started budding. Measured the height of each plant but only plant 4 seemed to have grown 2 cm probably because of the main cola which grew bigger. Decided to defoliate the bottom till middle height leaves which where quite yellow and crispy. Some of them where keeping the buds from getting light. Also i gave them a little nutrients just to see how they react and i think they might need a little. I think they need atleast 2 more weeks but in a few days i will receive my magnifying loupe and then will have a good look at the trichomes how far progress is done. Update 21-07: unfortunately i observed bud rot in plant 1 and 3. At plant 1 it smelled quite bad and had to remove the whole top cola and just in case 2 little cola's beneath the top one. At plant 3 a bud under the main cola was looking a bit brownish and the small leaves attached to it where easy to pull out. So i removed just that cola. Hope the bud rot doesn't jump to the other buds but the coming weather is looking hot and dry. But rot can really happen overnight to become noticeable. See the last pics in the album of this week.
