First time with this strain, I have high expectations: I LOVE high CBD strains. My previous high CBD strain was Lemon Potion CBD Auto by seedsman, she had a very rought start but she recovered and at the present day she's doing good and in week 2 of flowering (you can find her diary on my profile).
I'll grow her organically, in cannabis soil mixed with some mature cow manure. I don't want to use any bottled nutrient, just natural homemade stuff. She will grow outdoor from day 1 above the ground. I'll have to LST her because of privacy. The temperature these days is about 30°C during the day and 20° C during the night. Humidity here is about 40% during sunny days and 85% when it rains.
Today I put her in damp paper towels. She should be ready in 90 days, which means the 22nd of September. Just in time before the cold autumn.

Her root is not out yet, but I decided to put her in a jiffy pellet nonetheless. She's out in my garden, near to my strawberries.
4
Her root is out!

Today she was about to pop out of the ground so I transplanted her into a 8 liters pot (I know it's small, but it was the only one left at the garden center 😭). This cannabis soil is so airy!
She's a lazy girl, hope she will wake up soon! Time to grow!

One of her cotyledons is a bit damaged, but I don't know why... Anyway she's growing and today she showed the first pair of leaves!
11
Actually nothing to report, she's doing fine! She's in direct sunlight for about 14 hours per day and she seems to enjoy it.
13
Look at who came to visit us today! Is Yoda-the-guardian! He's so cute omg. I just hope he doesn't appreciate too much my plants ahahha
14
This morning my mother watered her with a giant super strong watering can and almost killed her. She was literally punched down 😂 luckily, she fully recovered in few hours... Maybe she's trying to kill her 😂.
15
I was thinking about taking some day off so I'm going to think about a self sufficient watering mechanism... I read about blue mat and similar stuff...
17
I bought some tabs from rqs. They should arrive in 7 days. Let's see if they make the difference.

A little off topic about the soil I'm using...
I'm sure this soil is amazing for cannabis but it's so light I have to water her very very gently if I don't want to move the whole top layer around. I also have to support her while watering because since the soil is so airy and unstable she falls every time! She just seems to love its lightness but she's so delicate and not really firm with her roots... I hope this won't be a problem growing up...

She's doing fine, but she's much slower than her neighbor Northern Lights XXL. Probably is the genetic because they received the exact same cures. Her leaves are yellowing just a little bit so tomorrow I'll shade her a bit since it looks like a start of light stress.

Sorry this week I really didn't have the time to take notes but the important is that she's growing fast and she's doing fine. This evening I'm going to collect a bit of straw as mulch. A kind fella told me that straw + grass clippitis a great mulch so I'm going to try this! :) It should help with the airy soil too.
Today I watered her with some rqs grow boost. Is half a pill diluted in 1.5 liters water. Let's see...
Ps, a not-so-friendly bug munched on her leaves! It only took away small parts of one leaf but hey! That's MY plant man! 😠

Today I gently bent her ti start with lst.
29
Today I finally had the time to mulch! I added shredded straw and grass clippings. I also updated her lst. Lst is definitely my favourite thing to do regarding cannabis. It's such a calming activity. And it also has a purpose! I love using natural elements as sticks as supports.
I was wondering if my buds will lightly smell like mint being the plants so close to an enormous mint bush...

So we are at 1/3 of her life. She's pretty small, especially if compared to her neighbor Northern Lights Auto XXL. But hey that one is XXL so I'm not worried at all. Moreover, she's doing fine. I wonder when she'll start flowering. Northern lights started today at 1/3 of her life, but for example Auto Amnesia started at 1/2 of her lifetime at 6 weeks.
This week I had zero time for the girls because I'm working as a madwoman because I'm leaving on Thursday. Finally vacation! I set the automatic watering system and covered them with the transparent umbrella. She's still not flowering :( I hope she will when I'll be back, in about a month or so.
I'm back people! For 2 days only lol. I'll probably be back for harvest ahah
So... She flowered while I was away! And look at that flowering stretch😍 I had to bend her down because she must stay undercover😎 I'd really love to let one plant grow naturally but I just can't risk 😭 where I live if they catch you, and if you're unfortunate, you can go to prison for growing weed even if she's a CBD plant (and therefore legal) they don't really care and they don't even check. Absurd right?
Anyway, she has a very light smell and a lot of nice looking buds. Seeing the marvellous results topping gave to her neighbor Northern Lights XXL I think I should have topped her because she has a very strong tendency to stretch.
I noticed a bit of N deficiency but since I don't have the time to brew a good manure tea I just sprinkled some very mature cow poop on top.
She also had a little iphantria infestation going on but those horrible creatures just munched on some leaves and didn't touche the buds at all. I crushed them but there's nothing else I can do because the caterpillars fall from the huge oak above the pots...
She got stolen. That's it folks.
I feel like I could kill that bastard. And I even know who did it. But I can't do anything because I have no evidence.
She was stolen in those 3 days I was out of town, meaning that the asshole was spying on my moves. I tried to talk to him, but I couldn't be aggressive because the little shit is always among other people...
Let's learn from my mistake: next year I will put a better locker (it was my property for God sake), I will install a small camera and I won't be friends with desperate people for pity. Because yes, he's a desperate hole to whom I even found a job.
Anyway, sorry guys for the language, but I'm really angry right now. I hope this will be useful to someone. Be careful to little shits.
Oh yes, he even stole the fucking watering system, if the plants weren't enough you know?
Ps, enjoy selling legal cbd weed in Italy you cheap bastard❤️

I left a paper note in a place I know the thief will look. It says:
"Dear thief,
1) you're a piece of shit
2) it was legal weed, you imbecil
3) I know who you are AND I know how I will take my revenge
4) please kindly chocke while you smoke it
With love"
I know it's not like having the plants back, but it feels good. And believe me, my revenge may come slow, but will be terrible.
Now I'm already looking for a solution to grow next season, since I clearly can't trust growing outdoor anymore. I'll see if I can go indoor, but I fear not.
à propos de la structure trop aérée de ton sol par rapport aux arrosages je te conseille de mettre un bon gros paillage au dessus de ton pot, tu n'auras plus ces problems
@FR_PhenoFinder, hey :) I have the automatic watering system going on and a friend checking on them twice a week :) unfortunately he's not a weed fan and knows nothing about LST and defoliation so he's just there to check if they're good. As far as today, they're doing great :)
Sorry to read that your plant grew legs and ran away, karma will get the thief.
I read in your diary that you have a big oak tree in your yard. Have you ever thought about building a camouflaged shelf up in the tree and growing your cannabis up there, if possible?
Most people will never look up in the trees and it will be well hidden. It is very easy to set up a small hose that runs up the trunk to the pot. You may even be able to let it grow free and wild without any training.
I wish you much better luck with your future grows and remember, never show or tell anyone you have plants!
@ORGANOMAN, hi :) thank you for your kind message! Unfortunately the oak is about 15 metres high so it'd be very difficult to set up a guerrilla grow up there 😢 i personally took care of the thief's karma 😁
