Auto White Widow on German Balkony

TUS2101 The tiny WW started great and looked healthy. In April the temperatures outside in my region are still rather low especially during the night. So I put her on the balkony during the day, when it is sunny and warm and put her under the 36W LED light in the evening and morning to extend the light hours.

TUS2101 She was growing alright, seemed happy and did lots of praying. She is still getting additional light and remains indoors during the night.

TUS2101 So it was time to put her in her final pot, 15L fabric pot. I was really careful so she kept on growing afterwards. She did really great this week and started to grow really fast. One day she looked a bit weak, maybe I overwatered a bit.

TUS2101 She started to explode and showed the first signs of pre flowering. The smell is quite noticeable now and she has to move completely outside the next days. The temperatures during the night are ok now.

TUS2101 She started to stretch quite heavily. Smell is strong now but rather pleasant. She had no problems so far, but I put in a bag of predatory mites against spider mites. I had problems with that pest every year on my balkony. So I did it as a prevention. I gave her a small dose of terra bloom for the first time.

TUS2101 Sadly I took only one pic this week. She is still stretching and grows explosively. During daytime it becomes well over 30 °C under my glass roof. She doesn't care at all, really strong plant.

TUS2101 Still really hot this week, plant still goes strong and stretched even more. She needed lots of water because of the heat. Slowly the buds are beginning to form.

TUS2101 This week the weather was a bit cooler and more cloudy. Stretch is now finished and the buds become thicker. You can see many clear trichomes now. The plant has some thripses but nothing too severe. Spider mites are no problem at all thanks to the predatory mites.

TUS2101 This Week the weather was mostly really bad for this time of the year here. Mostly rainy days and rather cold nights. But she did great nevertheless. Luckily I have a roof and she did not become wet. But the humidity is quite high, so hopefully she doesn't get any bud rot, no signs so far. Buds were still growing and I also spotted some milky trichomes. Hopefully next week the weather gets better.

TUS2101 This week was really hot, sunny and dry. Plant still does great nevertheless. She smells really good and sweet/fruity. More and more trichomes become milky also spotted some amber ones. I think I am going to stop feeding now and get ready for harvest in the next one or two weeks.

TUS2101 The plant had really rough conditions this week. We had a massive heat wave this week with temperatures up to 40C. It was even hotter on my balkony. The plant seemed unimpressed by this as long as she had enough water. I stopped feeding and she has begun to go into autumn mode. Trichomes on the main bud look mostly milky with some clear and even some amber ones. I think I will harvest her in the next days, when the heat is over.

TUS2101 This week temperatures got way lower after the heatwave. Also lots of rain. Sadly I spotted bud rot in one bud, so I had to remove it. I used some H2O2 solution to disinfect the areas arround it. So far I found no more rot. I think it was caused rather by some pest than the weather or humidity, because it was really hot and dry the weeks before it happened. Besides that, the trichomes are mostly milky now with some amber ones as well. So I think she is nearly ready. Think I will not wait for to long anymore, because of the bud rot problem. I also removed some fan leaves as they turned yellow/brown.

TUS2101 So I found a bit more bud rot inside the head but sadly, rest was fine. In the end the plant started to show new growth on the lowest popcorn stuff. I harvested only the upper plant and will leave the new growth for one or two weeks longer. I washed the buds with diluted H2O2 and flushed with water. No they are going into my DIY dry box. Hopefully I will not see any more mold.
