Outdoor Season 2021

07.03. HeyHo fellow Cannabistas, unfortunately the Royal Bluematic died of in the soil after the bean cracked open. It's a pity that I haven't got any beans of it left, so probably there will be an Stresskiller CBD Auto which will follow up. Haven't decided yet. Both other Ladies doing fine and racing for the Sun. Have a good one Folks, Servus✌️! Oim.

14.03. Everybody is fine, no one is complaining, Sugar Daddy made it also through the soil, so all in all a perfect world fof the 3 Damsels. I decided to place Dark Devil and Sugar Daddy in 12l Airpots and place em outside when possible. I'm still a bit concerned about what the Doc said. I think I'm better on a bit more flexible, just in case the Deep Forest explodes so I could bring the 2 Ladies in the tent if necessary. That's all for now, can't wait to bring em out... Have a good one, Servus✌️! OimRausch

21.03. Day 15 in the pots. Everything is fine and in track. Introduced first nutes today. All 3 doin fine, nothing to report than the daily Routine! Have a good one Servus✌️! OimRausch

28.03. Day 22 in the pots for the garden project. All 3 are ok and had their first outdoor experience. They are outside during the day to get them slowly acclimatized. I think I'll give them another week/10days to sleep inside. Weather is getting warmer and we have good chances to transfer them to the bed next week. Have a good one, Servus✌️! Oim. 01.04. I'm pretty excited. The last few days were beautiful and I decided to put the girls outside during the night. I had them placed in the shed in the evening. Deep Forest definately like its circumstances, the Dark Devil isn't as comfortable as the DF, but there is growth👍. I have to admit that I haven't been much careful when filling Sugar Daddy's Pot. It's way too much clay in it and I probably overwatered her a bit.. but with the nice weather which is coming up the next days, she'll dry up soon. Servus✌️ OimRausch

03.04. We finally did it and moved into the greenhouse. I'm super excited about this grow. As said, Deep Forest is the only plant which is planted in the bed. I had the feeling that I have to be flexible in case the DF is going insane. Also I mounted some bamboo sticks behind the Ladies to keep the DF tamed. All the Damsels reacted well on the repotting. Although I probably messed up Sugar Daddys Soil Mix, it's way too much clay in it... so she'll may have a more troubled life than the others, but we'll see. That's all for now, have a good one Folks! Servus✌️ OimRausch

10.04. Quite a bad week for the outdoor Ladies. Dark Devil and Sugar Daddy died off 3 days ago. We had 5 nights in a row with neg. 4 to 1°C. Too much for the two...✊😔 Deep Forest remained static, not even moved a millimeter upwards. I gave her a mild NPK Solution yesterday. Companions are sprouting yet and hopefully will support DF massively in the next time in case she's gonna make it. See ya next week, have a good one and grow safe! Servus✌️ OimRausch

17.04. Hard times for DC's Deep Forest. The temps all over the last days haven't reached 10°C and I have to admit that I wouldn't have bet on that but she's still alive 😅🤘. Idk what Alien Genetix the Doc mixed into her🤣.. Weather will be better and warmer the next days and I hope so that she'll pull through.... Fingers r crossed🤞🤞 Have a good one and grow safe! Servus✌️ OimRausch

24.04. What a great week for Doc's Deep Forest. Temps during night r still between 4 and 10°C but she got back in track and managed to show 10cm of growth the last week. She is a toughy👌💪💪👏👏👏 Due to cold nights the soil stays wet for a very long time. She got 2l of mentioned solution mid weeks. So, feeding happens weekly, or twice a week depending on the temps. I'm very glad she made it and I hope to continue without major troubles. Have a good one and grow safe! Servus✌️ Oim.

01.05. After one week of perfect weather we went to the next cold period. Nevertheless Deep Forest stands brave and strong. Fighting the bad conditions. All in all and under its poor circumstances I'm very happy with her and I'm 100% she'll make it to better temps and weather. Have a good one and grow safe! Servus✌️ OimRausch

08.05. Dear fellow Cannabistas, Welcome to another week of Dc's Deep Forest. Last week had been devastating, greenhouse was blown away and all the plants, which I raised so early with my blood and sweat, was beaten down and smashed by the wind and all the other parts that flew around.. I managed to built a wooden cage around DF and could avoid major damage. Greenhouse is repaired and built up, just the cover missing atm. Nevertheless Deep Forest is marching on like a freaking tank🤣. Standing like a rock. 💪💪✊ We have two nice days ahead and I have to get the cover over the greenhouse asap and fix everything up, before the weather changes again on monday. Have a good one and grow safe! Servus✌️ OimRausch 09.05. Quick update! Greenhouse is fixed and prepared for further growth😃✊

15.05. Another week for the outdoor toughy. Last days were without any incidents, weather gets better every day and at the same time Deep Forest's growth is accelerating too..😅 Gaining 15cm the last 6 days and not any sign of bloom. I bet she'll be monstrous🤣.... That's all from the Backyard, have a good one and grow safe! Servus✌️ OimRausch

22.05. Deepforest was doing very well last week, shooting up to 102cm. Still no signs of preflowers and she's growing on and on...🤘🤘🤘big plant, for sure. DF responded very well to the Organics Nutrients Application, she looks super happy👍. We had some unwanted visitors last week, so I placed a couple of beer/jam cups in the soil and layed some shell lime around the plant. This works as a mechanical barrier which the slugs can't pass.. That's all from the backard, have a good one and grow safe! Servus✌️ OimRausch

29.05. 3 month later...🤣🤣.. Deepforest like it very much in my bed. She was growing vigorously last week. Nearly catched the 120cm mark. Organics Nutrients are doin their job very well. All the Ladies outdoors like it very much. As you see on the pics there r still one or two slugs which I couldn't catch yet. But sooner or later I get this buggers Despite to that she's super healthy. That's all from the backyard, have a good one... Servus✌️ OimRausch

07.06. Have been a few days off, the slugs definitely had a feast🤬🤬 One of the lower branches got invested with mold so I have to cut it off.. It's raining for 3 days now and RH never drops below 80%, weatherforecast says rain till next week... the coming days will be a struggle. Surprisingly Deepforest looks very healthy. Hell yeah, she's really tough. 👊👊 This afternoon she'll get some extra care by cutting back the companions, collecting all the slugs🤮🤮 and cleaning up around her. Fingers crossed, it would really piss me off if I loose her to mold after fighting and pushing her through all the problems we had after moving to the tent... Have a good one Folks and grow safe! See you next week, Servus✌️! OimRausch

Second week of flower and transition is progressing quite slowly. Slugs are still around, but check pic 5 for my new partner in crime against the f**** critters. Found it this morning in the opposite side of the garden. This Leopard slug is a natural predator to the slugs. DeepForest itself doesn't care much, despite of having the leaves heavily munched it's growing nice and vigorously. Built up a very diversified top.. beautiful.. All in all everything is fine and goin along ... that's all from the backyard, have a good one and grow safe! Servus✌️ Oim.

19.06. Welcome to another week of the Deepforest. Wonderful last week, everything is shooting and thriving. I guess because of the bend I gave her a few weeks ago, the Main totally splitted up and grew diversified further on. Despite of having around 35°C in the tunnel both plants r not showing any signs of heatstress. All the plants I supported with Organics Nutrients showed an increased heat-resistance.. Tiptop 👌 All is said for this week, see you in a few days... Servus and grow safe! Oim.

26.06. HeyHo Growmunity, arrived in week 17, fourth week in bloom and Deepforest is still on the way towards sky..... Shit.. I had her at 181cm at this morning's feeding🤯🤯... meinerseel if she's going on like this, I'll get a major problem 😅 However, I'll clearly see it the coming weeks. Feedings are on the big side for a couple of weeks now. Depending on the weather conditions she gets between 6-10l per feeding. Today i added Silica to strengthen the stems and branches, which are still very delicate on the top stage. I gave her a bit of a training few days ago. I had to move away from the tent with the main and coming narrower with the lower branches. I would love to clean her up on the bottom side.. but idk yet, because she is an Auto and I don't want to stun her.. A word to the companions which r growing next to my Cannabis plants. As it is a very easy way to support, defend and aid our lovely ladies. I thought of introducing a companion with every update on the DF Diary. Please comment, if you'd like to have further infos.. Starting with one of my favorite companions, the stinging nettle! Planting stinging nettle within close proximity to your cannabis plants will come with a host of rewards. Firstly, stinging nettle is great at attracting beneficial insects into gardens due to the high amount of nectar present in the flowers. Species such as ladybugs find them irresistible and once they arrive, they’ll start mowing through any aphids and spider mites that pose as threats to your cannabis plants. Not only do stinging nettles protect cannabis plants by boosting numbers of these helpful predators, they also reportedly make plants taste and smell better! This might seem too good to be true and the science isn’t entirely clear, but by planting stinging nettles close to your cannabis plants you will be tapping into a botanical synergy that will increase terpene production within cannabis flowers. This reaction is caused by male nettle pollen, a substance reported to also boost the taste of certain fruits and vegetables. Terpenes are volatile aromatic hydrocarbons produced by trichome glands and give cannabis plants their signature smells and tastes. These interesting molecules have also been shown to boost the effects of cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, via what is known as the entourage effect. Stinging nettles are loaded with a wide array of nutrients, including amino acids, iron, potassium, zinc, magnesium, calcium, and many vitamins. Cannabis plants are hungry for this array of macro- and micronutrients and by harvesting stinging nettles and adding them to your compost you can add them to your soil and help prevent deficiencies in your crop. Compost piles are made up of a mix of brown carbon-rich materials, such as dead leaves and sticks, and green nitrogen-rich materials, such as fresh leaves and stems. Because nettles grow with ease and proliferate vigorously, they essentially provide a free composting material. However, not all compost is solid. Many gardeners elect to make compost tea, which involves fermenting nutritious plants and other materials to create a nutrient-dense liquid that can be applied as a foliar spray to keep plants healthy and stave off deficiencies. Simply place this beneficial herb into a container of water and soak for up to 3 weeks to allow fermentation to occur. Strain the liquid and use at a fertiliser to water ratio of 1:10 when watering and 1:20 for foliar sprays.... I hope you like the input😁😜 That's all from this week, have a good one and grow safe! Servus✌️ Oim.

03.07. HeyHo Growmunity, welcome in week 18 of DC's Super Auto Deepforest! Well, where to begin... Overall it was a good week for the DF, despite of many rainy days. She's still stretching and reached the magic 200 the day before yesterday, today I measured 206cm 🤪👈 I defoliated her yesterday morning, removing the lowest shoots and pincing off thousands of suckers. She produced a lot of them and I'll keep removing them further on. But she's a huuuuge beauty🤣but also a bit scray though😂.. I have to keep the tent closed during the day b'cause she nearly took half of the tent yet and nearly every neighbour would notice what ima raising in my lil' garden😬😬 One last word to the stinging nettles. As you see on one of the pics that there a millions of aphids in the tent. Funny thing, they r exclusively on the stinging nettles, not a single one on the DF👌. Today I'd like to write about a plant which is relatively new to me as a companion but prooved its effectivity over the last weeks of DF's grow. The tobacco plant! Firstly, tobacco acts as a kind of vacuum cleaner, because it is covered by a layer of trichomes and glands, almost like cannabis itself, with the difference that marijuana leaves are usually smaller than those on a tobacco plant. That vacuum effect acts against threats. If you pick up a plant and take a look at its different parts up close, you will notice that it is covered with small insects (such as whiteflies etc. see picture!). Tobacco plants' large leaves are a kind of a trap that lures prey with their nicotine, a substance that acts as a poison against parasites, ultimately killing them. Thus, placing pots of tobacco plants next to the crop we care about the most can make a big difference. Here's another great tip which I just can recommend: Take the greenest tobacco leaves, put them in a blender, and add a little water to create a homemade and completely organic insecticide that can be sprayed on marijuana plants without doing any damage to them. These are just some of the tips that both experienced and novice growers should take note of. I'm very happy with this companion and it will have a steady place in my future outdoor runs. That's all from this weeks Backyardweedporn, have a good one and take care! Servus✌️ OimRausch

10.07. Welcome to week 19 of Doc's Deepforest. Well, to be honest Ima quite cornered atm. DF won't stop stretching and the tent is at its limits. She showed many many preflowers the last weeks but isn't able to pull through to full flower. At this stage I would roughly estimate another 10-12 weeks to finish up... It totally tears appart my schedule and ima not sure what to do... Cut her down, Hardcore Pruning and defo, bending to the max???? Help me out folks!!! What shall i do.. In terms of stealth ima also at Limits, she's nearly out of the front door and if she thrives on like this, the whole village will notice what ima doing in my garden.. Fingers r on the emergency break! She got Hesi Boost added to her diet today, maybe this will help with the transition a bit.. Any comments and suggestions r highly appreciated and welcome. Have a good one, Servus✌️. Oim.

17.07. Servus Growmunity! My heart was bleeding when i cut her down, but you know how it is, Safety first Adding P and K Ferts over the last weeks couldn't help her with the transition. Tbh she was still stretching. Cutting her down at exactly 250cm.. What a freakin' Monster... A big shoutout to the Doc for letting me test this crazy genetics. I hope u r not too disappointed. I've one bean left which ima goin to raise beginning next year, multiple toppings and hardcore Trainings r scheduled🤣 I hope you guys understand my situation and the decission that i made. I would have loved to see her in full bloom..😢 Take care and have a good one! Servus✌️ Oim.

Had to chop her because of her enormous growth. She was too big for the greenhouse and an absolute Security risk at last. Shoutout @doctors.choice for this crazy genetics. Next time with multiple toppings and in a pot😂😂... have a good one and grow safe! Yours, OimRausch ❤️
