xhibo Unfortunately, my first attempt this year was ruined by the damping-off disease. Since I was already unhappy with the growth rate and other parameters: Better an end with horror than a horror without end.
28.04.26: Planted seeds directly in moist Jiffy.

xhibo D15 (17.05.): First day of the third week starts with a slight smell, growth could be a bit faster.

D19 (21.05.): Due to the nice weather, it's been moved outside.
D20 (22.05.): Slight light stress, leaves are becoming a bit taco-shaped.
D21 (23.05.): The Gorilla is doing well. First LST has started. Overall, I'm satisfied with week 3.

xhibo D22 (24.05.): First day of week 4, still in the vegetative phase, she's slowly building biomass. The LST is being tolerated well, and in the next few days, when the side shoots are big enough, they'll be retrained.
D23 (25.05.): LST again, now also on the first side shoots.
D24 (26.05.): Very cautiously added a bit of growth fertilizer.
D25 (27.05.): LST and a sunshade removed. Now all the side shoots have a clear view of the sun.

xhibo D28 (30.5.): Despite the strong storm yesterday, she held up well. A few leaves were nibbled, so today there was a neem oil treatment.
D30 (01.06.): Normal growth, no further munching. LST removed, letting her grow a bit taller for now. The pre-flowering stage will definitely come soon.
D33 (04.06.): Due to the persistently bad weather, she came back inside temporarily. It didn't harm her.

xhibo D56 (27.06.): growing under normal parameters, now and then a grasshopper nibbles on the sun leaves. Chased away and otherwise watered quite a bit due to the weather.
D59 (30.06.): nothing to report
D62 (03.07.): Last day of week 9, removed a few nibbled leaves. In my opinion, not much is happening externally.

xhibo D65 (07.06.): The lower fan leaves are changing color. I hope the buds will swell noticeably now. They also smell delicious like fuel.
D68 (07.09.): I really have a little grasshopper problem, there's a new one sitting on it every day and nibbling. But it's not that bad. I'll empty my nutrient container (4ml biobloom and topmax per liter) tomorrow and then I'll flush.
D69 (07.10.): I still have about 1L of nutrient solution, that will go on tomorrow. Last day of week 10 o/

xhibo D78 (19.7.): I actually wanted to harvest today, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. But this week, it's definitely happening.
xhibo Harvested on day 2 of week 12, will be updated once the final result is dry. Rating etc. is preliminary for now.
The trim will probably be infused in coconut oil and frozen.
