The first half of last week, the weather was sunnier, at least not as rainy as the last 3 days.
The plants received nothing this week, except rain water.
The ICE auto had an impressive week. They filled in the buds nicely and produced a good amount of resin. I looked at their triches and they are still cloudy, only a single amber one here and there. some are still clear, so I estimate 3-4 weeks until their harvest.
The Cream auto are still not there yet. The tiny number 8 has progressed slightely (maybe this week?...). Number 9 is also ripening and showing more and more amber trichromes. I will harvest at 20-30% amber triches.
The Passion are growing fast. I screwed up and left the bindings holding them down to tight and the stems of 4 and 7 split. Now i have to hold them up until they grow back together. This is the first time, I accidentally split the stem and I am keeping a close eye on the situation. I figure, they will probably just grow back together and make a thick scar.
Happy growing everyone!
Wow your soil must be pretty rich in nutrients. The plants look super healthy. What camera are you using for the close-ups? Good luck with your first legal grow✌️
@BudBeezy, Thanks mate! We invested some work in the soil before we put the plants in. My first post shows what we did. Also I already fed guano, horse manure and compost tea since they got put outside.
As a camera I just use my phone (Pixel 7). For the makros I got some cheap usb microscope from amazon, it connects to my phone.
Well done Germany 👏👏👏
Hopefully your neighbour country with the same flag colors follows quickly but I doubt it
Gonna follow along with your grow too.
It's a very nice spot u have chosen 😉
Plants are looking great man
Fingers crossed for good weather 🤞🤞
Im still in vegative phase here and don't know what to expect from this summer 😄
If I can give u any advice first one would be to double check everything for budrot. It spreads very easily and u always notice it too late because it works its way from inside to outside 😒😔
2nd advice is to make some shelter if u know it's gonna be shitty weather. 1 rain will not destroy your crop but continuous bad weather, humid conditions and cold temperatures will.
Happy growing buddy 🙏🤜
@Clutch, Thx mate, I will double check! Your advice is highly appreciated, since I am an outdoor newbie.
I may come back to the shelter idea this fall. The ICE are now harvestable without to much loss, so I'd rather start a new batch, than fiddle with this one. Also: I am very eager to test my new bubble bags!
Good luck everything looking amazing , personally I would've just made the holes and fill them up with pro mix special for weed and plenty of Vermiculite ,usually the direct earth is not so good for them (autos') but as you did it looks sweet and organic ,loving it ! Happy growing , GG Germany so happy for ya'll, a whole chapter of exploring begins
@Boomer911, Thank you! I thought about putting fresh soil in the holes, but that would have meant getting roughly 3,5 cbm of soil, thats 3 trips with my small trailer. Also I would have needed to make a home for the 3,5 cbm of soil I am replacing. The plan is to steadily improve the soil we have. We will mulch eventually, that should help.
