Sour Fruit Tartare #16

SaintVITHUS Germinated her in paper, put her after rooting immediatly in Compa Bio Anzucht-und Kräutererde. After exactly a week it had its first true leaves. I was so happy that it made it so far, since i had only one seed.

SaintVITHUS She was growing stronger and stronger, thinking about putting her in her final soil with the others. Since she started having more then 2 pairs of true leaves.

SaintVITHUS Since she was in my opinion finally strong enough to be transplanted in her final soil, I did exactly that. Althought i tried to acclimate her with keeping moisture low and the grow lamp relatively low but increased moisture and light intensity from day to day. This was also my first time trying slow-release fertilizer, so I feared the soil might be a little to much, since the soil was already pre-fertilized. But hey, we like to try new things.

SaintVITHUS She was growing rapid, although she showed signs of fertilizer burn, the first leaves even went yellow and soon brown, but since the new ones seemed fine and was still growing rapid, I was sure she was fine, just watered her more instead of trying to increase her roots true intnetionally starving her of water.

SaintVITHUS All new leaves were growing fast even thought they all showed some yellowish tips, I was sure she was fine. So I was finally comfortable to Top her and make a clone since I cant buy these seeds anywhere. (would be a shame to never be able to grow her again, if shes the beauty shes supposed to be). I also put some clipper on her to get her more exposure to the grow lamp and I did remove the bottom leaves, to promote gowth.

SaintVITHUS I finally started worrying since she showed some clear signs of distress. bottom leaves even turned yellow. I did not ry to stress her much more and just hoped for the best. removed the bottom leaves again tho.

SaintVITHUS Finally the plant seemed to recover and getting used to the strongly fertilized soil. The new leaves are finally looking healthy. So I started the LST with bigger brenches. not only withe the clippers. Thinking about topping her again tho, since she was growing way stronger then the other plants (DNA Cake from DNA Genetics, Frozen Biscotti from Dutch passion and Red tropicanna Cookie).

SaintVITHUS She did certainly recover did not show any signs of distress and was even growing faster. Besides the usual LST I did not do a lot. Just gave her lots of love and water. Was thinking about removing the ugly old leaves. Compared to the other she was growing way better. I also did not mention that besides my first time using slow-rlease fertilizer, also tried the 25l buckets instead of the 15. On the top left is the Sour fruit tartare, top right is the Red tropicanna Cookie from Dutch passion and on the bottom right is the DNA Cake from Dna Genetics.

SaintVITHUS She finally did look very happy. im so glad that she made from her rock bottom. But she grew very big, I was fearing the tent might be to small. I sent her the 15.03.2026 into bloom ( shes a sativa appearently so i feared I need to do some Hardcore LST.) So at that point she was already 3 days under 12/12

SaintVITHUS She did stretch a lot, but i already expected this.

SaintVITHUS Removed al the bottom leaves and flowers. I was so suprised to see the colours already showing. At this point i was grwoing for ages with beautiful purple flowers or redish ones but nevr have i had one that espressed herself so early. The volouring was also so pretty to look at. now im at this point of a grow where i was going multiple times in the tent to see these beautys. and I was so happy that the cut was sucessfully growing.

SaintVITHUS so pretty and she was starting to smell good.

SaintVITHUS some Nutrient issues but its hard ro say what wen you have the slow-release fertilizer. Rather work wit that then giving her to much again.

SaintVITHUS She started smelling like a soap. at this point all the plents were very smelly. she kinda sreminded me off a good soap. Also reminder to myself, ScrOG should be installed early. now i cant do much since they are all very sticky

SaintVITHUS Was having some holidays, so my friend took care of them, thank you M. not much to do, since they are all fertilized. but since they got not all 25l. i put some pellets in there too (might be overkill but idk) (5 small pellets so not that much)

SaintVITHUS Now we did Lollipop them, since we are coming to a closing. mioght have been to early not so sure tho. but her colour and frosty look, never have I ever seen such a beauty.

SaintVITHUS looking frosty and terps are looking good and is smeeling strong

SaintVITHUS Last week of growlight will put the lights out, and leave them 2 days in the dark. they smell so good and about their looks, one can see for themself.

SaintVITHUS EVEN after drying they did not lose their coloring.
