Testopfer Let's start the next outdoor season.
The two seeds were freebies I earned with my last year seed order at Ganja Farmer. As it was to late for starting a feminized outdoor grow and I already had my scheduled autos growing those two remained until this year.
I made very good experiences germinating my seeds the following way:
- having a good drainage using Compo BIO GRANUPLANT
- filling up the complete pot with Compo Light Mix
- putting in a small hole, 3-4 fingers wide and deep, filled up with Compo BIO Anzucht- und Kräutererde to prevent a nutrients shock
The seeds were planted on 28th of April, 4 days to have the germ buds present is a proof of success. In about a week they will leave their sunny window to have their season on my very bright to the south pointing balcony.

Testopfer Since 3 days the ladies have moved to the balcony and enjoying the sun. We had a lovely weekend.
Sadly the C&C is getting to heavy, she needs some assistance to stay up. Next time I will have a grow light for the first days, perhaps this will prevent this problem.
As it is getting down to 5° Celsius at night I cover the plants with PET bottles at night.

Testopfer Nothing special this week. We have managed to survive the "Eisheiligen", ice saints, with temperatures down to 2° Celsius at night, but everything is fine. Both plants develop in a good way.

Testopfer One more week is gone. And the phase you can watch the plants growing and developing leafs has started together with the summer season - I really love it. My plants (the two presented are sharing my balcony with two RQS Apple Fritter Auto, 2x AutoSeeds Sucker Punch, 1x Barneys Ayahuasca Purple and one Delicious Sugar black Rose Early) are all developing wonderful. The three feminized plants were all developing long stems, so I moved them to slightly bigger pots to get rid of the need to stabilize them. They really liked the procedure.
The Mimosa is doing her thing without any issues, I expect to have a slightly bigger plant in 7 days. Let's see.
One thing regarding watering.
I am watering, of course. But... if you have done your math, you must have the number of 8 plants. And I am watering by a felt weight of the pot as the lower and draining water out of the pot on the higher limit. The quantity of water I need per single pot... don't ask me 😅

Testopfer The last days my plants were developing wonderful! They almost doubled their size, got lots of new leaves, everything is fine. I started using nutrients and for this week I think I will do a topping to my feminized plants. You will know it next week 😎

Testopfer Comparing the pictures from last week with the ones from today - amazing! 😍
All my plants are growing like magic. This year I have really had a great start; and the weather we had the last weeks was perfect. My fems were topped as promised last week, so the real height of the Cookies and Cream is about 27cm. But I am pretty sure, in the near future she will be the bigger one.
The Mimosa Zkittlez is performing very well so far. Compared to the other two automatic strains, RQS Apple Fritter Auto with a height of 43cm and AutoSeeds Sucker Punch with 25cm, I am growing, she is in the middle. A very strong strain until now. 💪

Testopfer The Mimosa started stretching and developed the first white hairs, I would say it's the pre-flowering-state. While the Cookies and Cream has recovered from the topping procedure and reached a height of 32cm this week. I have the schedule to move my feminized plants to their final pots (25l) this week.

Testopfer This week it is time for a big update.
Starting with the Mimosa Zkittlez Auto. She went over to flowering last week and is reaching a height of 62cm. The stretching period might not be over at the moment, I would say, she will reach about 80-90cm to the end due to the 12l pot. I removed the lower leafs and changed nutrient scheme.
The Cookies and Cream has been repotted to her final 25l pot together with the other two photo-periodic plants. Two days later I started with a slightly LST. As the new soil is heavy fertilized I just give them water the next weeks. The actual height is about 40cm.

Testopfer We had great weather the last days, temperatures above 33 degrees, no rain, just sunshine... my plants are developing so beautiful! 😍
The updates.
The Mimosa has reached a height of 67cm and is mid in her flowering period. The buds are getting bigger day by day and she is still looking very healthy. There is a very tasty lemon smell coming from her.
My photos have all received the same treatment, but at the moment the Cookies and Creams seems to understand the new task, given by the LST procedure, at best. She is developing as supposed new possible stems. Of course i had to remove several leafs. The height is still about 40cm, this should change until next week for sure.
