Germinated in 3 days. Only saw about 2 and a half good days of sun until now. Already experienced a storm but still going. I don't know which plant is which strain. I am taking them in at night and they have a nice flat roof where they can chill during the day.

Sun with clouds will provide more like than many electrical lights. I'd keep it where you want to grow it, unless it gets really cold or crappy outside and you need to protect it. a light meter would help determine intensity of sun - behind cloud vs not would tell how much it loses, but not anything about PAR. But, if you know the sun often provides 2000 umol/s per m^2, you can deduce many things from that with algebra.

Not that much growth this week, but I'm content. The weather was okay and it was their first week permanently outside. As you can see in the pic, I had some problem on a leaf. I think its leaf miners, so I cut the leaf off and am going to buy neem oil. I think I will start with a little nutrients this week, lmk what you think!

I am thinking about topping the big guy. Growth this week was pretty crazy, my companion plants are also doing very well. It´s been a little windy, which fortunately caused them to make their stems bigger. I dont know if I will do LST, as the big guy is pretty dense but I will do some research on that! Greetings from the Netherlands!

The small one seems to be growing again. It is still extremely small. I did a lot of LST already for the main stem. I am trying to form a circle around the pot. The plant adjusts to it in a few hours. I sprayed neem oil on both of them, as I found a few aphids under a leaf. I have not yet used any fertilizer, but I am thinking about using some for the big one. At the moment there seems to be no need tho. I think I will just give a very small dose to see if it gets nute burn. I also thought about topping, but I will take it slow for the first time. ZYou know, never change a running system :)

Not much sun this week and frequent rain. I did a lot of LST and its looking great so far. The dwarf and the big one are of the same height now. I will do some LST on the dwarf today. I sprayed the plants with neem oil again this week. The big one (I think its the northern lights) has started flowering, but the small one hasnt yet.

Good growth this week. It wasnt very sunny but still it grew quite well. The small one is still in competition with the marigold it seems. I dont expect to yield more than 5 grams from the small one, but I hope for 30 from the biggie!

I have noticed that a lot of lower leaves are turning yellow. Theres nothing special going on, it just fades from green to yellow evenly. I am feeding it Veg nutrients 3:1:3. So it can't really be a Nitrogen deficiency right?!

No le pasa nad a la planta, es el proceso natural de la floración porque encia los nutrientes de las hojas a los cogoyos. Te conviene podar esas hojas amarillas porque ya no afectan en la flora o el crecimiento

Yeah it was pretty fucking bad this week. My fan leaves are all saying threir goodbye for an unknown reason. My only guess is underwatering, because I only water twice a week atm. Could that be it? Anyways, I'm going to water them more often now as I cant afford losing any more fan leaves (there are very few left compared to two weeks ago). I didnt give nutes this week, but I'll give some next week. The buds look good tho, all green leaves etc. The dwarf is not suffering from any problems, apart from the problem "size". My rosemary is still dominating, hopefully it keeps the cat at bay. Have a nice day!

Very hot right now in Holland. 30 Degrees every day... I'm watering every two/three days with 1.5 Liter per plant. The small plant is yellowing very hard right now, the big one has stopped. I think I will give them a lot of nutrients next watering, so they make big buds :)

The reason my harvest is so bad is budrot, i would say I lost 60-80% of my weed due to it. It was totally my fault, I let it survive two weeks of typical shitty dutch wheather. But who cares, I'll take anything
