Nach langer Zeit ist es endlich soweit, ich habe sie geerntet. Bei dieser Pflanze habe ich mich dafür entschieden sie gegen den natürlichen Lebenszyklus outdoor eher zum Blühen zu bringen. Ich pflanzte sie in einen Hanffasersack den ich mit Erde auffüllte. Diesen platzierte ich auf einer Schubkarre. Wo ich wohne wird es manchmal schon im Oktober sehr kalt, sodass die Wahrscheinlichkeit für eine sichere Ernte realtiv gering ist (at this point i hope the best for my other outdoor plants). Ich rechnete mir aus wann der perfekte Zeitpunkt zur Ernte ist um noch im Sommer das Resultat genießen zu können. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt fuhr ich die Schubkarre jeden morgen um 8 Uhr nach draußen und um 18 Uhr wieder nach drinnen um optimale 12 Stunden Lichtzufuhr zu gewährleisten. Während den letzten Wochen der Blüte sind ein paar männliche Blüten aufgetaucht wie auch bei meinem indoor grow. Für einige war der Zeitpunkt der Ernte vielleicht zu früh, aber ich finde es so sehr angenehm zu rauchen und auch der Effekt ist in diesem Stadium optimal für mich. Die einzige Methode die ich hier verwendete ist das Pruning. Es erspart dir einen Menge Zeit beim beschneiden der Blüten und lenkt die Kraft auf die verbleibenden Blüten, um diese zu stärken. Nachdem ich bei meinem letzten outdoor grow viel zeit beim trimming verbracht habe, habe ich mir eine Erntemaschine gekauft (look at the video). Mit dem Ergebnis der Maschine bin ich zufrieden, da ich es per Hand in der gleichen Zeit unmöglich in der Qualität geschafft hätte. Die Blüten wurden ungefähr 2 Wochen bei guter Durchlüftung getrocknet, um am Ende wurden es 255g. Für mich persöhnlich ist es ein sehr gutes Ergebnis. Die Blüten sind schön fest und klebrig mit einem sehr süßlichen Geruch. Ich habe versucht ein paar schöne Fotos zu machen und habe meine Kreativität spielen lassen (my wife also got a great idea, you can guess which idea was mine ;D) If you have any questions feel free to ask. Im also open for criticism I hope you enjoy the pictures and the report stay safe and happy growing. ____ i will update the smoke report soon.

Beginn 4. Blütewoche Was soll ich sagen. Die beiden entwickeln sich richtig schön, gerade die rechte. Schöne stabile Seitentriebe bei beiden. Sie werden diese Woche noch nen Compost Tee bekommen, ansonsten wird nichts an den Pflanzen getan. Hoffe nur die rechte ist nun mit dem größten Teil des Strech durch, die Topps haben noch knapp 40cm bis zur Lampe🙏 Tag 25 Blüte Die beiden bekamen heute jeweils 1l Composttee (15g/l Biotabs PK Booster mit 10g/l Kelp Meal und Melasse). Zudem gab's noch ein Topdress mit 15g Crustacean Meal.

Start of week 1 flowering. Growth is really amazing this week.

Reducing water to 5l every 3-4 days. Glookies just builds leaves and little bud but alot of trichomes...

Day 14. Beautiful trileaf plant. Not quite ready for LST. Maybe tomorrow. Day 15. Bent over nicely for me. This plant is gonna be a beast.

It was fun growing Critical+ 2.0 and really recommend it for any new grower who would love to experience his first smoke from his personal garden

Day 49 - Added a 1500 mL dehumidifier to the tent setup in an attempt to keep the relative humidity below or around 50%. Day 50 - Lady 2 is starting to smell really fruity when I put my nose right up to the colas. I can't wait to see how she'll smoke. Day 51 - The dehumidifier is collecting water from the air, but the tent is reading above 60%RH right now. It did just rain in my area so that definitely isn't helping my humidity control. I think it would be higher without the dehumidifier. I'll be checking periodically to see if it was worth buying that small dehumidifier. Day 53 - Right now my tent is at around 52%RH and the dehumidifier has collected around 800-900 mL of water, so averaging about 200-225 mL of water a day. I think that's not to bad and will help me keep the humidity lower than outside humidity.

... more mass. And ripening.

Slight light burn on a couple plants had to raise the LED. On the off week Light seems to be allot more effective at civering the space although the plants did not take well to the spectrum/heat adjustment so the first two days i had to ween the light on a couple hours at a time. I could tell when they needed a break because they woukd physically get droopy once they got over whelmed eventually they got used to it tho!

3rd time's a charm...Invested in a grow tent and a better light and man can you tell the difference. Week 2 pretty basic, had a little problem...I think I started the Nutes too soon...I backed off them and the plant recovered nicely.

Just water

Autos have been transferred, looking good so far..

The girls are moving along nicely just watering with water ph to 6.4 this week as I top dressed with Gaia green 4-4-4.Spider farmer Se7000 dialed in at 30 percent and to the ceiling.Noticed some minor deficiencies Day 12 and check soil slurry 50/50 soil/water and the ppm was at 780 lil high at this early stage and the culprit.Going to work on lowering that a bit this week.I did add a top layer of fox farm ocean forest as well which runs a little hot with nutrients rather than the pro mix.I have to remember with these beautiful auto flowers less is better :)

Only 11cm vertical growth this week. Flowering stretch slowing down and she's bushed out so much!!!

The best taste under the sun, great color of buds, unforgettable gorillas for me;) After quite a long fight with high temperatures and lack of support in the form of boosters, I am happy with the final result.

Super frosty looks good

Die Pflanzen sind stark und sehnen sich nach Licht. Das Wetter ist sehr trüb. Viele Regenschauer. Die geringe Luftfeuchtigkeit versuche ich mit einem elektronischen Luftbefeuchter zu erhöhen (siehe 1 Video).

Had a bit of a cat-tastrophy this week. I left my tent open to go and fill a bucket of water, came back and zipped it up. What I didn't know is that the cat got in. Not 5 minutes later I can hear all sorts of shit moving around so I came in to find I had zipped him and and he went bonkers and bent almost every branch on the Skunk. So I had to do emergency tie jobs, but I ended up losing 2 medium colas and 1 small one. Could have been much worse if the skrog net wasn't there to stop them from snapping. Injuries look like bent plastic straws, so I'm going to be watching her closely to see if she herms from that massive amount of stress. Some of the pics have cat hair in them, thank the little brat. Anyway, Skunk is a 45-50 day finisher so I'm going another week and then she gets the chop. Lots of microscope videos today and finally found an amoeba. Also something moving in an egg...what is it? That's at 400x so I think it's a nematode egg based on what I found online. If you look closely at the super zoomed in trichome shot, you can see the reflections of other trichomes...just fucking epic.👏 All the food stops now, too much in the soil for her to start senescence. Nothing but water and FFJ now. New pistils are still coming in so who knows, maybe she'll keep going a few more weeks.
