First grow ever (Holy Punch - Outdoor)

Zonnetje Planted the seed on 18-5

Zonnetje The picture is 11 days after planting the seed.

Zonnetje Hello The plant is doing well. I think i will pot it in a bigger pot (40L) by 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. Put a ladybug larvae onto my plant let see how it works out haha Update: It worked overnight the ladybug larva ate all the aphids. Greetings 👻

Zonnetje Planted the Holy Punch in a 40L container end of last week. It's really doing well growing faster than the other autoflowers. Will provide some new pictures later this week.

Zonnetje Looks quite good! Made a lot of progress in 7 days time. Weather was quite good. I don't need to water the plant because of the occasional rain.

Zonnetje The plant doubled in height in 7 days. Going from 20 cm to 40 cm. All around the plant looks healthy. On 25-6 i gave it some standard N-K nutrients. Let's see how it reacts to the nutes. Because the soil was only fertilized for 6 weeks. Quick update Day 40 (27-06): From 40 cm +10 cm to 50 cm In 3 days of excellent weather

Zonnetje It went from 40cm to 67 cm (+27 cm) in 7 days. Still growing very strong. Think it was a good choice to give it a 40L pot. It's going to take a while before flowering starts. 26 September we finally have 12 hours of daylight and night. Hope in doesn't grow into a huge monster plant haha 😋

Zonnetje Unfortunately i will be on vacation tomorrow for 10 days so can't update the report until i'm back, So this is not really Week 8 but a little earlier. Day 47: +7 cm to 74 cm

Zonnetje Well so i measured it and it went from 74cm to a crazy 102cm in 10 days (28cm) Really curious when it decides to stop growing in the 40L Container.

Zonnetje Looking good! Grew 14 cm in 1 week so an average of 2 cm a day. Curious how high she will get haha

Zonnetje Day 72 - 135cm From 119 to 135 cm in 6 days Growing 2,7cm a day

Zonnetje Went from 135cm to 144cm in 7 days (1,3cm a day) It's also growing quite wide. Such a lovely bush it is 😇

Zonnetje Went up to 150cm. What a nice tree haha. Weather: SUN 8/11 Actual Temp 23° /16° MON 8/12 Actual Temp 25° /13° TUE 8/13 Actual Temp 20° /10° WED 8/14 Actual Temp 23° /10° THU Actual Temp 22° /15° FRI 8/16 22° /16° Times of clouds and sun SAT 8/17 22° /14° Mostly cloudy, a little rain

Zonnetje 113 days Want to update each Sunday from now on. Took the pictures and measurements on Sunday, but wasn't able to update right away because of computer issues. Removed humidity from the growth conditions because that doesn't make any sense when growing outdoors. In general it's very humid (+60%) here in The Netherlands. Going steady with the flowering. We have 13 hours of sunlight atm.

Zonnetje Day 127 - 160cm The buds are getting bigger. There is a slight smell now. Removed a bunch of yellow leaves last friday. What a beast of a plant. Haven't seen any problems like mold or something due to cold and wet weather.

Zonnetje 135 days Weather was shit last week. Lots of rain. Which isn't fortunate when you are close to harvest. So i provided Holy Punch a roof which will help against the cold and wetness at night. Think i'm going to harvest next week or the week thereafter. Already saw some brown trichomes through the microscope. Unfortunately i had to remove some bud rot but that's probably inevitable in this climate.

Zonnetje 142 days Planning to harvest her this weekend. The leaves are getting more yellow which is also a sign the plant is ready for harvest. Checked the trichomes last week and she's already in the harvestable zone. Spotted a few more mold spots and removed them. 👻👻👻 Weather: 9/30 Actual Temp 18° 13° 1 Actual Temp 17° 11° 2 Actual Temp 13° 8° 3 Actual Temp 15° 8° 4 Actual Temp 14° 9° 5 Actual Temp 13° 8° 6 Actual Temp 10° 8°

Zonnetje Harvested after 148 days. Can say it's a very resilient plant. With the current weather it could have been worse with the mold.
