The plants are growing like and hell and some plants more than others. I therefore have to super-crop the plants, which is a method promoted by SOMA from SOMA-Seeds. I take the stem of the plant at appr. 20 cm under the top, directly above an internode, and squeeze it hard between my fingers. So hard that I can feel the fibers brake inside the stem. I squeeze in a circle around the whole stem and then bend the stem sidewards until the whole top of the plant is bent 90 degrees to the side or even points downwards. This way I dont have to top the plants and save the big top buds. The stem will heal and the plant will continue to grow, just at a lower height. I use this method since many years and it works GREAT. The BIO-TABs nutrients still do thier job VERY WELL, all plants have a healthy green color. The SANlight EVO4-120 LED-lamps are still hung at 75 cm distance from the top of the pants and do an OUTSTANDING JOB.

Week 7: Branching Out & Embracing the Unknown 🌱🍍 Okay, I'll admit it: This whole FIMing outdoors thing is uncharted territory, but hey, isn't that half the fun of growing? The FIMing worked like a charm! Three sturdy branches are shooting out, and the original main stem is actually the runt of the litter. 😅 I guess that's a new one for me. Normally, my outdoor girls turn into towering 2-meter trees with popcorn buds galore. But this year, I'm after quality over quantity. A few strong colas, please and thank you. Am I following any hard science? Nope. Just going with my gut and the good vibes my pineapple is giving off. She's still in veg mode, so I did some more defoliation and LST to keep her energy focused. Feeling good about this experiment so far. Who knows, maybe FIMming outdoors is my new secret weapon? Time will tell!

Run-off got pretty high on the plants in the main tent when I tested it this week (2300ppm) so I flushed the plants down to around 900 over a few water events with half-strength nutes (~450). I think this, plus (mainly) the plants being too close to the LED caused them to throw some foxtails - particularly the middle plant (although I still think that spindly shit is also partly due to the bag seed pheno). Noob mistake on my end and I didn't realize until it was too late. Now the light is turned down and the run-off is back in a good range. It got high because my auto-watering halos were mostly running off the pots and not sinking in - this is because I filled the pots to the brim with coco (another noob mistake). Looks like I'm hand watering until harvest :) Big Mumma in the blurple tent on the other hand is still killing it.. Apologies for having to upload videos of the microscope - too hard to hold it still and press the button for photos lol.

Rc#1 has started its flushing today for about a week and half before the snip. Rc#2 has picked up the pace now and will go on longer than rc#1 has. Rest of the tent is coming along nicely. All the plants are on full nutes other than rc#1. Both of the girls have had heavy defoliation. Looking forward to see how it tastes. 16.03.20 RC#1 had its final flush last night of around 12 litres of water. 80% of the trichomes are cloudy. Once the pot is pretty much dried (4days) I'll be throwing her into dark for 36hours before harvest. I'll be sure to get some good pics in the natural light before and after the chop. All branches look like they can barely hold the weight of the buds now, few branches have been supported with cable ties off of the main stem. Sugar leaves are turning a nice purple. I guessing roughly 4-5oz dried. Week 10 coming this week....

It's raining cats and dogs here (lucky there's no chinese around LMFAO) and the humidity is 100% so today Ive chopped this little lady down and she is now drying up in my shed with fans going 24/7. I was quite pleased with the amount of bud I got off her and it's smelling fantastic and is very sticky.The trichomes were very milky with a few amber as well. 😍 very easy to grow no fuss and no problems but we'll have to wait and see as to whether she is a good smoke or not .

🌿 The Hobbit Hole – Woche 11 Woche 11 ist geschafft – und langsam wird es ernst im Hobbit Hole. 🍂 Die drei Damen sind inzwischen deutlich in der späten Blüte angekommen. Das Wachstum spielt praktisch keine Rolle mehr, stattdessen geht es jetzt nur noch um Reife, Trichome und darum, wie lange das Wetter mir noch erlaubt, sie draußen stehen zu lassen. Diese Woche habe ich deshalb nicht nur die Pflanzen und Buds fotografiert, sondern mir auch verschiedene Main- und Seitenbuds unter starker Vergrößerung angesehen. Der Unterschied zwischen den drei Pflanzen wird dabei immer deutlicher. 🌿 Cinderella Cindy lässt sich von den dreien weiterhin am meisten Zeit. Ihre Blüten sind inzwischen ordentlich mit Harz überzogen und auch die Pistillen verfärben sich zunehmend, insgesamt wirkt sie aber noch etwas weniger weit als ihre beiden Nachbarinnen. Die Buds haben weiterhin eine eher offene Struktur und sie wirkt insgesamt noch nicht so „fertig“ wie Purple Punch oder Gelato. Bei ihr sehe ich momentan keinen Grund zur Eile. Wenn das Wetter mitspielt, darf Cinderella noch eine ganze Weile weiterreifen. 💜 Purple Punch Purple Punch wird optisch immer interessanter. Zwischen der dicken Trichomschicht kommen inzwischen wunderschöne dunkle bis lilafarbene Kelche zum Vorschein. Gerade in der Sonne sieht das teilweise wirklich spektakulär aus. Ihre Buds wirken kompakter und deutlich weiter entwickelt als bei Cindy. Gleichzeitig beginnt auch die Pflanze selbst langsam sichtbar in den Herbstmodus zu wechseln. Noch ist sie für mich nicht die erste Kandidatin für die Schere, aber sie steht inzwischen klar zwischen Cinderella und Gelato. 🍨 Gelato Gelato bleibt die Spitzenreiterin – zumindest beim Rennen Richtung Ernte. Sie zeigt inzwischen das deutlichste Fading der drei Pflanzen und ihre Buds sehen zunehmend ausgereift aus. Viele Pistillen sind bereits braun und eingezogen, die Blüten sind angeschwollen und komplett mit Harz überzogen. Beim Trichom-Check an verschiedenen Main- und Seitenbuds konnte ich neben vielen milchigen Köpfen auch bereits die ersten eindeutig bernsteinfarbenen Trichome finden. 🔬? Eigentlich könnte man langsam anfangen, über die Ernte nachzudenken. Aber genau das werde ich noch nicht tun. 😏 Ich habe keinen Zeitdruck und möchte die Gelato bewusst etwas weiter ausreifen lassen. Mein Ziel ist diesmal nicht der möglichst frühe Erntezeitpunkt, sondern eine deutlich schwerere, entspanntere Wirkung. Solange die Pflanze gesund bleibt und das Wetter es zulässt, bekommt sie deshalb noch Zeit. 🔬 Trichom-Check Diese Woche habe ich mehrere Buds jeder Pflanze kontrolliert und nicht nur jeweils einen besonders schönen Mainbud. Dadurch bekomme ich hoffentlich ein etwas realistischeres Bild vom Reifezustand der gesamten Pflanzen. Besonders bei Gelato zeigen sich inzwischen erste Amber-Trichome, während gleichzeitig noch klare Köpfe vorhanden sind. Der Großteil bewegt sich zunehmend Richtung milchig. Genau diese Entwicklung möchte ich in den kommenden Tagen weiter beobachten. 🌧️ Jetzt entscheidet auch das Wetter Und damit kommt langsam der schwierigste Teil eines Outdoor-Grows. Die Pflanzen können noch Zeit gebrauchen – aber das Wetter muss diese Zeit auch erlauben. Für die kommende Zeit sieht die Vorhersage deutlich unbeständiger aus. Regen, höhere Feuchtigkeit und schlechtere Abtrocknung werden bei den inzwischen reifen und teilweise recht dichten Blüten zunehmend zum Risiko. Ab jetzt wird deshalb regelmäßig auf verdächtige Stellen kontrolliert. Ich werde keine Pflanze nur wegen ein paar Regentagen vorschnell umhauen. Aber zusätzliche Reife ist es natürlich auch nicht wert, dafür am Ende einen schönen Bud an Botrytis zu verlieren. Das Hobbit Hole geht damit langsam in seine spannendste Phase: Cinderella darf noch reifen. Purple Punch kommt näher. Und bei Gelato läuft ab jetzt der Countdown. ⏳🍨 Noch stehen alle drei. Mal sehen, ob das am Ende von Woche 12 immer noch so ist. 😏🌿

May 25: looking healthy and happy. Nice progress considering it’s another week until the end of May. May 26: raised soil level using Pro-Mix and compost. Got rained on a bit but moved beside house to avoid the heaviest rain which verged on being hail. May 27: topped in morning. First round of topping in what will be a 16 cola manifold. Looking good as we’re about two weeks ahead of schedule. May 31: been cool the last few days since the toppping. Watered this morning with Monster Maxx. Slow going since the topping but she’ll be fine. Note that for all my diaries, I do pH adjustment with apple cider vinegar and add a dab of Dr Bronner’s Peppermint soap as a surfactant. That lowers the surface tension of the water allowing it to penetrate the soil more evenly. Also I’m always warming the water to help keep the roots happy in the cool weather. #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds
