German outdoor, Durban Poison regular

The_outdoor_guy It is week 2 of vege i repotted them already and they are growing slowly but surely. This year i put my growchamber into a different place of the house. It is on avarge 10-13 degrees, not ideal but they take it and grow. In that room it will get warmer with the spring and anyway its just for the first 6 weeks, then they go outside. I can see some little structural differnce between some plants. I dont know though if thats related to their potential gender. Now i also took some leafsamples and send them to a lab in which they can identifiy the gender of each plant. I am super curious what the results will say!

The_outdoor_guy Only short update. The plantgrowth above the soil is slow, but i think the plant mainly invests its energy into the root growth below the soil rn. Its always funny it looks like the plant has some issues, and then one week later the plant grows like a mf. Two plants i watered with a neem-oil-solution cause they had weirdly wrinkled leaves --》usually that mean there are some insects or nematodes in the soil that need to be killed, cause they are eating the roots. Btw for the Soilmixture I used our own garden compost mixed with the fertile first 3cm soil of our local forest. Its packed with nutrients, good microbs and a variety of diffrent mycrorhizae. No need to buy all this overprized soil they are offering! Thats just a rip off. I m doing my Master in Agricultural sciences rn and when it comes to soil and a lot of other gardening equipment, its crazy how expensive the companies sell something to you, that you can just get for free in your garden. Make use of your own resources guys ;)

The_outdoor_guy Week 5 The plants are exploding! Its just one week to the last update. The Durban Poison are the 4 plants on the top right. The whole bunch of them are very happy with the soil mixture and all the fertilizer I added. and i think the mycrorhizae from the forest-soil connected already to the plant roots, which is fckn good news! All plants are looking super healthy! And more good news 3 out of the 4 plants are females. The test results from the lab came yesterday 💪 And apperently the seed sexing method worked quite well for 3 out of 4, very crazy! One seed that i idnetified as male turned out to be female. Only 2 more weeks and then these beauties will go outside! I m getting so excited! Next update in 2 weeks! I cant wait hahaha 💪💪🎉

The_outdoor_guy In some days there will be more photos and extended update. :) So far the plants are loving the higher temperatures and growing like the mfs that they are. I added some fertilizer, just some regular multi fertilizer for tomatoes. That is good quality and has all the nutrients in abumdant quantity for canabis. And is much much cheaper than the special one for cannabis haha 4 moredays and then they go outside 😊💪

The_outdoor_guy Chapter: Garden bed, going all out for the healthiest soil ever! Finally finally. The first chapter is finished! And now my favorite the outdoor chapter begins 😊. The cosiest soil for thw beauties has been created, so they shall never lack of anything precious to them 💪. I prepared the plots as good as it gets. -Added loads of compost and sheep manure from my neighbour. The soil already had unbeliavably high number of earth worms, now even more to come 🙏. -Added a 24hour compost tea from my own compost, to turn up the microbial activity to maximum. -Sprinkeled in some redclover seeds, for later soil cover and nitrogen fixation. -And put some strawmulch to decrease evaporation and keep soil tempreture steady. -And added more microrhizae, just to be sure🙏 Now for the next weeks only thing to do is to water and wait for the plants to flurish! 😊 Last year i made a little mistake, i grew the plant like an indoor weed plant, mainlining... etc. Because of this the plants were quite small. This year i do it like i did in 2024, i top the plant after the 5th node, so it has 10 sidebranches to start with. An then we see where that goes. I really hope for at least one decent "Tree" this time😊. Now lets see what the next weeks will bring us💪.

The_outdoor_guy Chapter Hail and Hope for recovery. 4th of june The weather is going crazy these days, it feels like we are in April. Hot day, sudden cold, rain, thunderstorm, hot, cold, cold, hot, rain... Then Yesterday (3rd of june) suddenly without even a warning in only minutes a crazy thunderstorm with Hail crashed through our garden. With Hailstones the size of my small finger. Nature showed again who is the boss wrecked literally all the plants in the garden, the chillis, the tomatoes, calendula... Playing with them like a rhino with a mouse. Ofcourse also the weed plants were wrecked and knocked off one of the young shoots of one of the plants. Its crazy to see the raw power of Nature, it just rolls like a wrecking-train. The pictures were taken the day after, there it looked already better. But yeah now I hope they really bounce back nicely! Fingers crossed!

The_outdoor_guy Chapter Mr. Plants! 9th of June One week later and this 2 soldiers stand like a steadfast german oak. They ate the Hail of last week like a free icecream desert in a 5 star restaurant. They look better than ever and packed on some good growth. Maybe they mistook the hailstorm for a nice massage in the spa, to release some stuck spinal tension haha. I m really surprised how well they bounced back. Awesome! So far they got no fertilizer, only good enrrgy and water. There are still lots of nutrients to be mobilised from the soil, and the plants are looking real good 💪

The_outdoor_guy Good Sun+ good Water = good growth. June 23rd Sometimes life is just easy. I m basically only watering this mfs and its hot af in Germany rn, and of course the plants are loving it. They r just doing there thing they dont care. They really donr haha. I just need to water them and with all the sun they reasamble that input into crazy Biomass = growth. If you watch close enough i think you would be even able to see them grow infront of your eyes haha. I didnt had the time to try that though haha. I dont even know if anyone is following my diary, in case of yes then i m sorry for the late update 🙈. And thank you for going with me on the jurney 😊 In 2 weeks i will make more pictures and more infos. See ya soon!

The_outdoor_guy Performance of regular seeds is the shit! Juli 6th I think I can already see some difference in the performance of the Regular seeds. This plants look already more vigorous and healthier then the feminised one i had last year. Really interesting. Only 1-2 bugs on the plants, deep dark green and the growth is astonishing. Work done: I took of some leaves and some tiny side shoots. Treated them with more compost, organic horn mill and finished it off with some compost tea to get those bacteria working for us: Splitting that lazy as Ammonium into highly mobile Nitrat-juice. Plant response will be there 💪. Other than that, nothing crazy. Only watering, waiting and beeing amazed that this mfs grow in a blink of an eye. Next up, i will build the support cage, so no wind and no heavy branches(i hope they will be heavy) can harm them.

The_outdoor_guy Ready for that thunder storms. Juli 8th The physical support has been build. Now they are well equipped, in case those summerstorms are hitting. With two branches i was a lil too rough in stretching them out, they broke, so I had to fix them again. Really stupid. Pretty optimistic that they grow back fine, though. For my one follower, thanks for hanging around! 😊 I will update in 3 weeks again, cause I will be a bit busy in the next weeks🙏

The_outdoor_guy Short update: 19th of juli Week 17 of veg. Everything looks real good. Growth is steady. Plants looking healthy, loving life. I added some "brenesseljauche", a german secret haha. Basically selfmade liquid organic fertilzer, packed with nitrogen. Real easy to make! Let me know if someone wants to know how that is done. Now its even more crazy to see how diffrent the structure of the 2 plants is. Its interesting, they look like they are 2 diffrent strains, but they arnt. The first one very broad, tall, laxly branched typical sativa genes. The second a bit more short and denser growth. But both impressive growth already! And since my last post my follower number has doubled hahah💪 Now I have 2 followers🎊. Thank you guys for sticking around! 😊 Next update in 2 weeks 🙏
