First Grow Ever (Cream Caramel)(Present)

I got this plant as a present. I have no experience whatsoever with growing ANYKIND of plants. But I do Love greenz and I Love vegetables, fruit and Ofcourse cannabis since 10+ years back. I had no good terrace, bacony or window, facing the south to guarantee atleast 12hrs of sunlight. I had to become McGyver. I always thought growing was Hard.

I had to use a 25W lamp I had at home to try to keep it alive, while finding where to put her and get some equipmnent for growing. Also had no bigger pot than this 1L. I topped the plant. And cut some leaves that got burnt by my home lamp being to close.

Now I Moved this beautiful girl to my girl friends apartment she has a good balcony with a minimum of 13hrs of Daily sunlight from above. Temperatur is close to the equator, so very suitable for outdoor. I also got a 125W CFL to keep her alive during Veg. My schedule is CFL lamp from 01:00-12:00 and then outdoor 12:00-20:30(sunset) so around 4hrs of darkness and 20 hrs of mixed Light. Translated to Coco Coir(she was in supersoil before) Going very Light on nutritients

I watched so many videos, I read so many grow diaries, I looked up so much facts, learned so much this week. I always knew the cannabis community was about Love and sharing ❤️ Thank you all for The indirect help ive got

Very learning about damage to plants and how to deal with them organically. The growth is amazing, The topping and LST seems to show now. Its my first time ever attempting any kind of grow. So me and my girl are delighted with the results. I Will keep updating you on Daily basis. Thank your for following me.. I have also decided to start growing indoor in a 150x150x200(5x50 for american fellas) tent with around 300-400 true watts of Led Mixed with 125W of Cfl. Still waiting for packages, so ill keep you posted.

Only outdoors, Day lenght: 13 Hours of Light 11 Hours of darkness(Sunrise/Sunset) slowly going towards 12:12 She is starting to grow upwards. Hard to fit in the pictures. Hopefully she starts developing flowers next week 💪🏼

Plans for next week: More Defoliation Add more Nutes(stronger Dose) Add PK 13/14

Week Day 1-2 Alot of lollipopping / Defoliation. Plant is Blooming nicely Day 3-4 Recovering from the Defoliation. Day 5-6 Defoliation bud sites from blocking leaves.

Getting a bit brighter in colour, need to up the nutes. Also need to go to the grow shop to get some Canna Accelerator for The Blooming phase to complete my schedule. Been alot of work this week, and havent had the chance to get the stuff needed. But hopefully this weekend Ill get the much needed Accelerator and maybe some bud formula nutritient for Coco. I think she will like it at this stage. Will also focus on minor selected Defoliation to expose the budsites to maximum sunlight.

The plant has some new Issues with larvae wholes on leaves. I removed all The damaged leaves, and then treated with Neem oil and water. Lacked some picture update during the week, because of excessive work. Also started adding Canna Coco Accelerator to the plant, late into Blooming. But its very expensive! Going to be better with pics now that its Blooming so wonderfully Started ripening at day 7 of this week.

Apologize for The Low quality pics🙏🏽 Buds are ripening and getting fat 💚😍 She has been reacting very good to the Defoliation made earlier. I will take some closeups later this week with my 40 mpx camera.

Is she ready for a flush!? Any opinions? The Neem oil doesnt seem to work very good against the caterpillars, I keeo removing any damaged/eaten leaves and spray Neem oil with water Once Every week. Im wondering if she is ready for a flush now? First with canna Flush and water Then only water last week. The top leaves are still very Green and healthy if their not eaten by the caterpillars.

Day 1 - Started flushing Removing any fan leaves damaged by larvae/caterpillar. The pistils are around 50-60% orange and the crystals are going more towards the White spectrum.

Last week before harvest. Have been flushing week 13 with NON Phd water. Also wet trimmed half of the plant and left the other half, to experiment and see if there is any difference. I did on one main bud during week 12, and that bud is the fattest one right now. I decided to cut of the lowest branch and harvest it a bit earlier, to wash it with hydroperoxide(because of former larvae issue and also outdoor dust etc) - I cut of the stem, washed in 3 buckets (A,B,C) A = Hydroperoxide + water, B = Hot water + Lemonjuice, C = only cold/room temp water. After washing it, let it dry! Lets see how the smoke is on this early bud harvested. Rest of the plant getting harvested this week. I tried smoking a bit of the plant After 2 days of drying, I must say me and my gf are pleasently surprised. I washed the buds with hydroperoxide 3% so NO harsh taste, The snoothest weed ive smoke. A very mellow head high with alot of giggles and a out of body well being experience. Might be because Its harvested early, not dried and cured yet, but the feelings were very sativa like. Also it smells like Cookies(for me atleast) a very pleasant smell and taste, I also washed the bud in water + lemon juice(fresh lemon) so it does have a nice citrucy taste because of that. I will give a deeper review when I harvest the entire plant and dry and cure it properly. Stay tuned! 💚

And thank you @Sweet_Seeds for your fantastic seeds! "Sweet seeds are made of this Who am I to disagree? I smoked in the world And in the seven seas Everybody's looking for something Some of them want to smoke you Some of them want to get smoked by you" I got this plant as a present from my local club, supposdely its Cream Caramel from Sweet Seeds. It was around 2 weeks old when I got it. I have no former experience of any type of growing cultivation, I recently Moved to a country where cannabis cultivation for personal use is legal. I started this Journey by having the plant under 25W of homemade lamp solution and 6hrs of sun, until I could buy proper setup for vegetation. Growdiaries really helped me learn alot fast and achieve results way above me and my girlfriends expectations. I topped the plant Once, I accidently stepped on it, Vegged it under 125W Of CFL from week 3 onwards and then transitioned to Outdoor. The weather around here has been the hottest in 60 years, averaging around 32 lately. Humidity has been stable around 50-70% with a average of around 60% I really learned alot and this strain(which ever it now is, ill ask the club again!) is fantastic and most definently not Indica like.
