Smoking_Joe_Frazier Welcome Back to My 2025 Grow Journal! Hello my Growmies, after growing only FastBuds automatics last year, this season is all about classic, controlled growing: I’m switching to photoperiod strains from Dutch Passion! My choices are Blueberry (Indica) and Durban Poison (Sativa) – two varieties praised not only for their flavors but also for their resilience in Germany’s climate. Let’s dive into the details! Why Dutch Passion and Photoperiod Strains? Automatics were convenient last year, but 2025 is about precision and control. With photoperiod plants, I can dictate the growth phase, train the plants strategically, and maximize their potential. Dutch Passion is known for stable genetics that thrive even in unpredictable weather – perfect for outdoor growing in Germany. The Star Strains Durban Poison – Sativa Power with African Roots - Flowering Time: 8 weeks (short for a pure Sativa). - THC Content: 10–15% – balanced for daytime use. - Height Challenge: Expected to reach 3–4 meters. To manage growth, I’ll use low-stress training (LST) and topping to keep plants compact without sacrificing yield. Goal: A robust outdoor harvest – though anything over Germany’s legal limit of 50 grams per plant will be responsibly disposed of. Blueberry – The Iconic Indica with Flavor to Match - Flowering Time: 9 weeks – ideal for developing deep purple buds and sweet berry aromas. - THC Content: 15–20% – that should be for evening sessions and relaxation - Height: They can reach up to 3 meters. I also try to control the height with some topping and LST - Why This Strain? As a fan of Blueberry hybrids, I’m eager to grow the original. Its compact size also helps it blend discreetly among my tomato plants. Bonus: Dutch Passion claims this strain handles cooler temperatures well – a plus for Central European summers. The Setup: From Windowsill to Garden - Pre-Growing: Seedlings will be started indoors under grow lights until mid-May to ensure strong early development. - Training: I plan to top the plants at least twice to encourage bushy growth, combined with LST to maintain manageable heights. - Fertilization: I’m using homemade compost from garden waste—sustainable, nutrient-rich, and beneficial for both cannabis and tomatoes. - Compost Preparation: I set up my compost in early March and boosted its activity by adding horn shavings, rock dust (Urgesteinsmehl), a potassium–magnesium supplement (Kalimagnesium), lime nitrogen fertilizer (Kalkstickstoff), and lawn lime (Rasenkalk), along with effective microorganisms. These amendments help accelerate the composting process and enrich the soil with essential nutrients. - Location: The plants will be placed in an area enriched by my compost. I’m mixing the native soil with Biobizz All-Mix in a 50/50 ratio, and I’m adding some Biobizz Tabs and mycorrhizae to further boost soil life. I’m committed to a 100% biological approach, keeping fertilizer additions minimal to let nature take its course. Join the Conversation and be a part of my growjourney Have you experimented with Dutch Passion strains or discovered effective strategies for outdoor cannabis cultivation in Germany? I’d love to hear your insights. What fertilization techniques have proven most successful for you, and how do you manage the height of your Sativas outdoors? As always, all suggestions and tips are welcome, and I’m excited to share this growing experience with the community. Stay tuned for more updates. Smoking_Joe_Frazier The seeds popped on 07.03.25.

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Week 2: Light Struggles, First Adjustments & the Patience Test Update: 14.03.25 Good morning, grow fam! Week 2 of my photoperiod journey is running – a mix of challenges and small wins. Here’s a look at the early days of my Blueberry and Durban Poison seedlings. Current Observations: Light Deficiency & Stretching Stems The first days post-germination were intense: The seedlings developed extremely long, thin stems (check the photos!), a clear sign of insufficient light. Since I’m intentionally avoiding extra lighting to save resources, I had to improvise: - Tray Rotation: I rotate the seedling tray multiple times a day to ensure even exposure to the weak March sunlight. - DIY Support: For the most stretched seedlings, a bent wire acts as a crutch to prevent them from collapsing. Interestingly, the tomato and cucumber plants in the same tray show no issues – their stems stay compact. Seems like veggies are better adapted to low-light conditions than cannabis! Nutrients & Alfa Boost: An Experiment Even though my Biobizz Lightmix should provide enough nutrients for the first weeks, I tested a sample of Alfa Boost (freebie from the grow shop) during watering. The product claims to boost roots and stress resistance – perfect for my light-stressed babies. So far, no negative reactions, but no explosive growth either. Slow Growth – No Cause for Concern The plants are growing just millimeters per day, but that’s okay. My focus is on building sturdy, resilient plants, not speed. Once days get longer and sunnier, growth should pick up. They’ll stay indoors until mid-May anyway – plenty of time to bulk up. Next Steps & Tweaks - Transplanting in 1–2 Weeks: Once the first true leaf pairs emerge, they’ll move to small pots with my Biobizz All-Mix blend. - First Topping Soon: Once the plants hit 4–5 nodes, I’ll top them to encourage bushier growth. Week 2 Takeaway: Patience is key! Even in suboptimal conditions, I trust Dutch Passion’s resilient genetics. Fingers crossed for greener progress next week. My goal is to stabilize the grow under the given conditions. Until then: Stay curious, enjoy the journey – stay blazing 😉 Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Vegetation Week 2: Transplant Triumphs, Sunshine Therapy & the Marathon Mentality Update: 25.03.2025 Hey Growmies! Week 2 of vegging these photoperiod ladies (Blueberry and Durban Poison) brought some much-needed stability and a breath of fresh air—literally! Let’s dive into the progress. Current Observations: Transplant Success & Root Revelations The slow-but-steady growth finally demanded a bigger home! I transplanted both seedlings from the tray into individual pots this week. The roots? Absolutely nice - thick, creamy-white, and already circling the seedling plug. A good sign that the like Light Mix from the start. Here’s the setup: - Pot Upgrade: Moved to 0,27 L plastic pots with fresh Biobizz Light Mix. - Mycos: Dusted the root ball with mycorrhizae during transplant to boost nutrient uptake and reduce stress. So far, zero transplant shock—just grateful, healthy looking plants. Outdoor Transition: Sun, Wind & Resilience Training March decided to play nice! With temps hitting 16°C and sunshine finally peeking through, I gave the girls their first taste of the outdoors. They’re now chilling on my south-facing windowsill, soaking up direct sunlight and gentle breezes. Benefits so far: - Stem Strength: The light wind is already thickening those once-wobbly stems. - Light Boost: Natural sunlight beats my weak indoor setup—no more tray rotations! Still bringing them in at night (temps drop to ~10°C), but they’re adapting like champs. Growth Pace: Slow & Steady Wins the Race No explosive growth yet, but consistency is key. New true leaves are forming, and the stems are visibly sturdier. I’m sticking to my “marathon mindset”: no rushing, no overwatering, just letting the plants set their own rhythm. Next Steps & Tweaks - Watering Discipline: Letting the pots dry out thoroughly between waterings to avoid over-loving them. - Outdoor Hardening: Gradually increasing their time outside as temps rise (goal: full outdoor living by mid-May!). Week 2 Takeaway: Trust the process—and the sun! Stable roots + gradual environmental changes = happy plants. Let’s keep this zen energy rolling into Week 3! Until next time: Stay grounded, stay growing… and stay blazing!

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Vegetation Week 3: Steady Gains, Environmental Harmony & the Art of Boring Update: 30.03.2025 What’s up, my Growmies? Week 3 with the Blueberry and Durban Poison was blissfully… ordinary. No drama, no breakthroughs—just the quiet hum of plants doing their thing. Here’s the low-key recap! Current Observations: Subtle Wins Leaf Development: The first true fan leaves are finally unfurling—wider, darker green, and more serrated. My Blueberry lady is slightly ahead of my Durban Poison babe! Stem Thickness: Those once-spindly stems now feel sturdy and stable, thanks to their exposure to light winds. Environment Report: Stability Wins The weather’s been a steady 10–16°C with occasional clouds. Plants are now outdoors soaking up direct light as long as possible (still bringing them in at night—better safe than sorry with these chilly temps!). The "Boring" Philosophy No news is good news! This week’s mantra: Don’t fix what isn’t broken. Watering Rhythm: Sticking to plain pH’d water (~6.3) only when the pots feel light. No overthinking, no overwatering. No Nutes Yet: Biobizz Light Mix is still feeding them plenty. No rush to disrupt the balance. Future Prep: Laying Groundwork Topping Plans: I’m planning to top them next week for the first time! I’ll decide spontaneously if the girls look stable enough, but I’m leaning toward waiting until Node 5 to minimize stress. Slow and steady wins the race—no stunting allowed! Week 3 Takeaway: Slow, stable growth means the plants are content. Sometimes, boring is beautiful. Until next time: Stay grounded, stay growing… and stay blazing! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Vegetation Week 4: Sun Therapy, Side Branches & the Durban Overdrive Update: 07.04.2025 Hey Growmies! Week 3 blessed us with sunshine and dry skies – but nights are still frosty flirtations. Week 4 is the same and my girls are living their best sun-soaked lives… with a strict “indoor curfew” after dark! Current Highlights: Daytime Glory, Nighttime Caution - Weather Wins: 10–15°C days (sunny & dry!) but temps dip close to freezing at night. The ladies soak up 8–10 hours of direct sun daily, then retreat to my cozy indoor setup. - Side Branch Debut: First lateral branches are popping! - Height Race: Durban’s stretching ahead – classic sativa energy! Blueberry’s trailing but building density. Nutritions: - Biobizz Light Mix + mycorrhizae = root heaven. Still no nutes needed! - Nighttime strategy: Avoiding cold stress = steady growth. No purple stems, no droops! Next Moves: - Topping Countdown: Durban gets topped at Node 5 (waiting for that final push!). Blueberry follows when she’s ready. - Pot Upgrade Watch: Roots are peeking out the fabric pots… 5L homes incoming next week? - Hardening Off 2.0: Gradually extend outdoor time as nights warm up (mid-April goals!). Week 4 Takeaway: Sunlight by day, inside by night = unstressed vegging. . Catch ya next week: Stay grounded, stay growing… and stay blazing! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Vegetation Week 5: Topping, Pistil Puzzles & the All-Mix Countdown Update: 14.04.2025 Hey Growmies! Week 5 brought some plot twists and big moves! Let’s unpack the story. Current Highlights: Topping & Tiny Pistils Topping Done Right: Both ladies got their first topping this week! Cut the main stem carefully with disinfected scissors above Node 5. Let’s see how they recover from that, but I guess they’re big enough to take that blow like champs. Durban’s Pistil Surprise: Spotted early pistils (white hairs) on the Durban – wait, already?! Stay calm: Durban Poison is photoperiod, so this isn’t full flowering. Likely causes: Light stress? Double-check nighttime darkness during “indoor curfew” – even small light leaks can confuse photoperiods. Longer days in late April/May will keep her in veg. No need to panic! What do you guys think? Have you experienced pre-flower this early under sunlight? Nutrient Needs Rising: Lower leaves on the Blueberry show faint lighter green hues – Biobizz Light Mix is running low on juice. Next move: Transplant into Biobizz All-Mix (richer in nutrients) after topping recovery. ______________________ Chapter Update: Garden Bed Prep – Building Their Forever Home This week’s big project: Prepping the outdoor spots where these ladies will live their best lives! Here’s the dirt: - Holes Dug: Two 50x50x50cm pits (perfect for root freedom!). - Soil Mix: - 20L Biobizz Worm Humus – worm-powered nutrient gold. - 20L Biobizz All-Mix – for structure and organic goodness. - Homemade Compost – loaded with worms, horn shavings (slow-release nitrogen), and lime (pH balance). - Why It’s Lit: This mix is a 100% organic buffet – worms till the soil, microbes feed the roots, and the girls get everything they need to explode in summer! ______________________ Chapter Update 2: Pot Upgrades & Root Magic Update: 15.04.2025 (Day 39) Today’s mission: New shoes for the ladies! The Trigger: Noticed the first true leaves hinting at hunger (fading green, subtle yellow whispers) – Biobizz Light Mix had given its all. Time for a nutrient boost! The Process: - Pot Upgrade: Swapped their 0.27L cups for 1.5L plastic pots (hello, legroom!). - Soil Mix: - 2:1 All-Mix to Worm Castings – All-Mix for structure, worm goodies for microbes. - Root Reveal: Popped the old pots off – root porn alert! Creamy-white tendrils everywhere, with fuzzy mycorrhizal hyphae hugging them like a snug sweater. - Myco Re-Up: Dusted the root ball’s “four corners” with fresh myco powder (symbiosis 2.0!). - Tomato Trick: - Removed the lowest node’s leaves and tiny side branches. - Planted them deeper to bury part of the stem – this’ll spark new roots along the buried stem (works like a charm for tomatoes, so why not cannabis?). ______________________ Catch ya next week: Stay grounded, stay growing… and stay blazing! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Vegetation Week 6: Rainy Resilience, Recovery & Nutrient Safeguards Update: 22.04. Day 46 Hey Growmies! Week 6 tested patience with April’s mood swings – rain, sun, and chilly nights – but the girls are bouncing back like troopers. Let’s break it down. --- Current Highlights: Post-Stress Revival - Post-Topping/Repotting Pause: After 2 days of “stasis,” lower branches exploded this week! Durban Poison’s side shoots are racing upward, while Blueberry focuses on steady node development. - Durban’s Lead: Still ahead in height (classic sativa stretch!), but Blueberry’s holding her own – compact and focused. - All-Mix Awakening: The soil finally “clicked” after the rain eased – deeper green hues, no more deficiency whispers. --- Environment Report: April’s Mood Swings - Weather Forecast: Light sun mixed with rain showers, day temps up to 16°C, nights dipping to 6°C. - Indoor Nights: Girls still retreat indoors after dark – nights are too chilly for young photoperiods in pots! - Soil Defense: Covered prepared garden holes (not pots!) with waterproof foil to protect All-Mix nutrients from rain washout. - Moisture Check: Pots still moist from rain – zero watering needed. Letting the girls sip slowly. --- Next Moves 1. Sun Grab: Capitalize on sunny spells – every hour counts! 2. Transplant Prep: Wait for consistent 10°C+ nights before moving them to their foil-protected garden beds. 3. Recovery Watch: Let the All-Mix work its magic – no feeds, just soil power! --- Week 6 Takeaway April’s tantrums can’t shake these ladies! The combo of All-Mix resilience and cautious hardening-off keeps them cruising. Slow growth? Nah – smart, steady growth. Catch ya next week: Stay grounded, stay growing… and stay blazing!

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Week 8: Sunshine Boost! Day 60 | 02.05.2025 Quick Update Hey Growmies! After weeks of gray, the sun finally showed up—and the plants are loving it! --- Highlights: Growth Burst: Durban Poison and Blueberry doubled the site of her side branches. The topping gave them both to really bushy structure. Durban: Tall, stretchy, classic sativa vibes. Shows still preflower signs on the new growth. Blueberry: Compact, dark green, strong indica traits. --- Environment: Sunny days around 27°C, chilly 8°C nights. Still bringing them in at night (cold soil = unhappy roots). Letting the soil dry well before watering—patience works! --- Next Steps: 1. Moving to garden beds soon (nights warming up). Should be around 15 May to finally put them in the prepared spot. 2. Though days have 14,5 hours of sunlight, the preflowering continues. 3. Stems are getting bigger. Letting the wind toughen them up—no more coddling! --- Takeaway: Sunlight = pure rocket fuel. They're finally taking off! Until next time: Stay grounded, stay growing… and stay blazing! Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Vegetation Week 9: Freedom at Last – The Great Outdoor Transition Update: 11.05.2025 | Day 66 Hey Growmies! Big news: The ladies (and their tomato buddies) are finally free-range! With frost off the forecast post-11.05, it’s go-time. Let’s break down the big move. Current Highlights: Root Revelations & Soil Symphony Roots for Days: - Pulled them from their pots – creamy-white roots coiled like champions, fuzzy with myco-hyphae. That mycorrhizal boosted the surface area like a boss. - Before planting them I added another layer of mycos the power that roots development Soil Mix: - 50% fresh compost (teamming with worms!). - 50% pre-mixed soil (All-Mix, worm castings, lime, horn shavings, compost). - Bonus: Shaped the surface into an inward bowl – rainwater and sips flow straight to the stem! - Depth Play: Planted them deeper for stability + buried stem roots Environment Report: Spring’s Embrace - Weather: Days at 15–18°C, nights hovering around 8°C – chilly but safe. - Transplant Prep: Let the pots dry extra pre-move (my trick for easier rootball handling!). - Watering Strategy: Flooded the holes post-transplant to settle soil + eliminate air pockets. Next Moves: - Recovery Watch: Expect 3–5 days of “pause” as roots explore their new kingdom. - Mulch Magic: Adding fresh clipping next week to retain moisture + suppress weeds. Also the decomposing weed will add some nutrients and attract some worms. This should help keep the soil healthy. Week 9 Takeaway: This week’s transplant wasn’t just a milestone – it’s the moment I’ve been dreaming of since those fragile seedling days! Letting these ladies loose in their nutrient-packed, compost-rich beds feels like releasing racehorses at the starting gate. I’m buzzing with excitement to watch them own this space – stretching skyward, roots diving deep into that myco-charged soil, leaves soaking up every drop of (hopefully alot) German summer sun. Here’s to hoping for monster bushes, resin-drenched buds, and a summer of growth that’ll make every cloudy March day worth it. Let the outdoor saga begin!

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Vegetation Week 10: Steady Progress, Cold Resilience & Green Optimism Update: | Day 72 Hey Growmies, Week 10 proves that outdoor growing is a marathon, not a sprint. The ladies are progressing slowly but steadily – here’s the no-frills check-in: Current Observations: Stable but Gradual Recovery Mode: Both plants have bounced back from transplanting, but the growth surge is yet to come. No rush – roots are working their magic underground. Cold Tolerance: They’ve shrugged off chilly nights around 5–7°C – no wilting, no stress, but no fireworks either. Snail Patrol: Nightly Routine: A quick “snail patrol” before bed – only a few stragglers so far, no invasion. Silver Lining: The lack of rain? At least last year’s snail apocalypse hasn’t repeated (yet). 🐌☠️ Environment Check: Soil & Weather - Soil Work: Mycorrhizae are silently doing their thing – steady symbiosis over speed. - Weather: Days at 17–13°C, nights 8°C – decent but not summer-warm. - Water Discipline: Only watering when the top 3 cm of soil is dry – restraint over enthusiasm. Next Moves Not planned very much besides observe, Don’t Intervene: Let nature lead – my job? Sip tea and wait. ☕ Week 10 Takeaway Patience! Every grow has its lulls – as long as the basics are solid (healthy leaves, stable roots, no overwatering), the rest will follow. Catch ya next week: Stay cool, stay steady… stay growing! 🌱 – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Vegetation Week 11: Pest Patrol & Steady Growth Update: 25.05.2025 | Day 79 Hey Growmies, Week 11 brought a mix of pride and pest headaches. Let’s dive in: Plant Progress: The ladies have officially left their slow-growth phase behind! Both Blueberry and Durban Poison are pushing vigorous, healthy shoots. Pre-flower development continues steadily – though I’m keeping a close eye to confirm Dutch Passion didn’t mix up photoperiod/auto seeds (fingers crossed!). Pest Report: - Snail Situation: As Birdmountain noted in the comments, slugs/snails remain scarce compared to last year’s invasion. Post-rain midnight patrols continue, but damage is minimal – just a few nibbles here and there. - Aphid Alert: The real troublemakers are winged aphids. Daily inspections reveal colonies hiding in dense new growth and under leaves. Found clusters of tiny eggs (likely aphid) and removed them manually. Time to escalate defenses. Next Steps: - Neem Oil Treatment: Preparing a diluted neem spray (2 ml neem + 0.6L water) to smother existing aphids and deter newcomers. Will apply at dusk to avoid sunburn. - Continued Vigilance: Sticky traps for flyers, daily leaf-flipping sessions. Week 11 Takeaway: Healthy plants attract pests – a bittersweet compliment. Early intervention is key, but I’m staying optimistic. The girls’ resilience so far suggests they’ll power through. Catch you next week Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Vegetation Week 12: Aphid Warfare & Green Resilience Update: 03.06.2025 | Tag 88 Hey Growmies, Week 12 is a battle report – pests vs. persistence. Here’s the frontline update: Aphid Onslaught: - Heavy infestation on new growth and undersides. - Daily routine: Power-spraying plants with water (jet setting) to physically dislodge colonies. - New weapon mix: 2 tbsp insecticidal soap + 5ml neem oil per liter. Spraying thoroughly every 48 hours. Ant Accomplices: - Ants are farming aphids – carrying them back up stems after spraying. - DIY defense: Wrapped stems with duct tape (sticky side out) as a barrier. Effectiveness: TBD. Plant Health Paradox: - Despite pests, plants look world-class: Sturdy stems, bushy structure, deep green leaves. - Bokashi boost: Weekly 1:100 diluted Bokashi juice – clear positive response (vigor, color). Next Tactics: - Consistency is key: Stick to neem/soap spray cycle for 10–14 days. - Ant counterstrike: If tape fails, diatomaceous earth around stem bases. - Scout for ladybugs – nature’s hitmen against aphids. Find them and put them nearby the aphids and let nature do its work. Week 12 Takeaway: Pests test patience, but healthy plants fight back. The Bokashi resilience is real. This is war – and we’re winning leaf by leaf. That's it for this week Growmies, see you soon as always :-) – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Vegetation Week 13: Heatwave Growth & Bokashi Boost Update: 12.06.2025 | Day 97 Hey Growmies, Week 13 rides the heatwave momentum with explosive progress. The battle scars from pest wars are fading, and the ladies reward us with textbook vigor. Growth Report: - Stems hardened into woody trunks, new shoots erupt daily. - Canopy density doubled – Durban’s sativa stretch is accelerating, now clearly overtaking Blueberry’s bushier frame. - Subtle aromas intensify when stems are rubbed. I can smell where this is going... and I love it! Pest Status: - Aphids: Down to occasional stragglers. Jet-spray maintenance continues. - Ants: Fully absent after duct-tape stem barriers. Victory holds! Care Tactics: - Bokashi Boost: Fed 1:100 dilution today. Plants thrive on this – expecting deeper greens within 48h. - Water Discipline: Deep irrigation at dawn during 32°C days, but only every 2-3 days. Encouraging roots to seek water and expand. Environmental Notes: - Weather: Consistent highs near 30°C, lows at 16°C (perfect recovery temps). - Soil: Mulch layer doing its job – soil beneath stays moist and fluffy. Next Steps: - Scout for spider mites (heat invites new threats) and aphid resurgence. - Monitor ant activity – they’re the aphid "farmers." Otherwise: Observe and let nature work. Minimal intervention! Week 13 Takeaway: Resilience rewarded. From pest chaos to photosynthetic fury – these Dutch Passion genetics are hitting their stride. Bokashi juice = liquid gold. As always, thanks for checking in and commenting. I appreciate you guys – grower love to all! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Here’s the serene update: Growth Report - Explosive daily growth: New shoots cascade like a "royal dress" – layered, lush, and dense. - Uniform deep green foliage – zero deficiencies, zero stress signs. - First calyxes spotted at nodes! Pre-flower transition seems imminent (expect that legendary sativa stretch from Durban soon). Pest & Recovery Update - Aphids/ants: Fully eradicated. No sightings all week. - Foliage untouched – pristine leaves from crown to soil line. Care Routine - Bokashi juice (1:100) twice weekly – plants absorb it effortlessly. - Deep watering only when soil dries 5cm down (encouraging root depth). - Mulch renewed – retains moisture through 28°C days. Environmental Notes - Weather: Stable 28-30°C days / 14-16°C nights. Light: 16+ hours daily – still solidly in veg territory. Next Steps - Monitor calyx development daily – pre-flower stretch could begin any day. - Keep airflow maximized through the dense canopy. Week 14 Takeaway Perfection in patience. After early battles, the garden now runs itself. These Dutch Passion phenos are sculpting themselves into regal, resilient queens. As always take care of your girls and thanks for checking in.

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Vegetation Week 16: Heatwave Endurance & Growth Surge Update: 03.07.2025 | Day 118 Hey Growmies, Week 16 tested limits with scorching temps, but the ladies laughed at 37°C. Growth went into hyperdrive – here’s the breakdown: Heat Response - Survived 37°C peaks without stress signs (no wilting, no leaf curl). - Vertical explosion: ~20cm growth across both plants this week. New feeding mix: - 1 Biotab dissolved in 1.5L water → 50ml of this concentrate per 10L water + Bokashi juice. Result: Deep green vigor, zero deficiencies. Strain-Specific Updates Durban Poison: - Now towering with explosive branching (new shoots from every main stem). - Still vegging – no flowers yet. Easily clearing 170cm, on track for 2m+. - Low odor (neighbor-friendly for now). Bud potential looks massive. Blueberry: - Healthy at 170cm but less dense than Durban. - No pistils yet, no heat stress. Hopes high for autumn purples. - Structure balanced and robust. Pest & Health Check - Zero issues. Leaves pristine top to bottom. Next Steps - Monitor flowering triggers (daylight still 15 hours). - Continue Biotab/Bokashi mix weekly. - Prepare taller supports for Durban’s final stretch. Week 16 Takeaway Genetics + adaptiveness = unstoppable growth. Durban’s a jungle queen, Blueberry a steady grower. Some rain would be good te rehydrate the soil. Catch ya next week my friends. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Flowering Week 20: Structural Surprises & Purple Promises Update: 28.07.2025 | Day 143 Hey Growmies, Apologies for the radio silence! Between vacation and kid adventures, the diary took a backseat. But the ladies? They’ve been busy. Here’s the catch-up: Emergency Support Mission - Durban’s weight crisis: Side branches cracked under their own mass – one even split the main stem! - Field fix: Stabilized with 4 stakes + speaker wire (ugly but effective). - Lesson learned: Next run = heavy-duty support before stretch. Strain Check: Durban Poison (African Queen) - Growth style: Less height (expected 2m+), more lateral explosion – new shoots daily make her look like 3 plants in one. - Flower status: White pistils stacking at branch tips. - Smell: Still discreet (neighbor-safe… for now). - Health: Vibrant green – zero stress signs. Blueberry - Surprise stretch: Nearly hit 2m (like a sativa!). Half Durban’s width but elegant. - Stem power: Thicker trunk than Durban – mini-tree status. - Color preview: Purple stems emerging! Buds may follow suit (fingers crossed). - Support needed: Prepping for heavy buds to avoid branch snaps. Care & Environment - Feeding: Pure Bokashi juice (no extras) – they’re thriving on it. - Pests/mold: None spotted. Dry summer helping. - Weather: About 20° C and really high humidity. Next Steps - Build 4-stake + twine support grid (multiple height tiers). - Monitor Durban’s odor spike as flowering advances. - Pray to the mold gods for a dry autumn (purple buds = mold camouflage). Week 20 Takeaway Never underestimate the weight of the branches and the effect of a little strom. I could possible fuck up my grow. Alright folks, as always: Catch y’all next week – no more hiatuses! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Flowering Week 21: Structural Battles & Rainy Reprieves Update: 07.08.2025 | Day 150 Hey Growmies, Man, Week 21’s weather is a pain in the ass – constant rain would’ve wrecked us in full bloom. Thank god the girls are still stretching in pre-flower! Mold can kiss my ass for now. Here’s the wrap : Support Wars I hauled ass to the hardware store today – grabbed four 2.1-meter stakes and heavy twine. Blueberry’s dancing past 2 meters like it’s nothing, so I caged her up proper. Durban? She’s splittin’ like cheap firewood under those heavy side branches. Shoutout to Birdmountain – I lashed her split stem together with hemp cord. Ugly? Maybe. Working? Hell yes. Durban Poison – The Bush Queen This girl’s exploding like fireworks on New Year’s! New shoots popping out everywhere – it’s a damn jungle down there. I gotta get ruthless soon: Light lollipopping’s coming to clear those lower branches. She needs airflow, not a mosh pit. Hardest part? Deciding what to chop without butchering her. Wish me luck. Blueberry – The Elegant Giant My god, she’s beautiful. Textbook structure – like one of those fake plants in grower magazines, except real and stretching past 2 meters. After staking her? Even prettier. If Durban’s the fat-bottom girl, Blueberry’s got that peach-shaped ass. Perfection with leaves. Silver Linings Zero pests crawling around – maybe this shitty rain’s good for something. Still feeding nothing but Bokashi juice, and they’re sucking it up like cheap beer. Next Moves - More Bokashi – if it ain’t broke… - Lollipopping Durban’s undercarriage - Tucking branches into their new support harnesses Week 21 Takeaway Sometimes you fight plants with stakes and twine. Catch y’all next week – keep growin’ dirty. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Flowering Week 22: Buds Emerge & the Great Durban Haircut Update: 10.08.2025 | Day 156 Hey Growmies, Week 22’s got both ladies playing different games – Durban’s diving into bloom while Blueberry’s still stretching like she forgot the season. Durban Poison – Flowering Fireworks She’s all business now – white pistils poppin’ everywhere and buds startin’ to stack. Weird thing? Still barely any smell. Got no clue what this girl’s gonna taste like come harvest. Today’s mission: Giving her the big haircut she needs. Gonna clear out that jungle undercarriage for airflow. Blueberry – The Neverending Stretch This babe’s still shooting up for the sky like a rocket. Almost hit 2.10m now, sproutin’ new shoots at every bud tip like she’s in permanent preflower mode. Almost no pistils visible and a very calm smell. But she's definittely the prettiest green skyscraper in the garden. Wrap up: - Weather’s playing nice – sunshine and breeze mean zero mold nightmares (for now). - Not a single pest in sight – leaves cleaner than my Sunday shoes. - Bokashi juice twice a week keeps ’em glowing. Few yellow fan leaves? Nothin’ to sweat. Next Moves - Keep Bokashi rhythm steady – they’re lovin’ that funky juice. - Hope for Blueberry’s bud forming soon (will she hit 2.20m?). Clock is ticking. - Enjoy Durban’s bud show while waitin’ for Blueberry’s grand entrance. Grower love to y’all – catch ya next week! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Flowering Week 23: The Great Defoliation & Purple Hints Update: 17.08.2025 | Day 163 Hey Growmies, Week 23 was all about the snip-snip – gave both ladies a serious haircut and opened up them tight spaces. Airflow’s king now, and these girls are breathing easy. Here’s the wrap: Durban Poison – Cleaned & Gleaming After that defoliation, she’s standing tall like a proper little tree – clean stems, no clutter, just good light and air all through her core. The buds are frosting up with pistils that’s turning a soft, shy purple. Real pretty. Smell’s picking up too – still subtle, kinda old-school. Not like these new genetic gas-monsters. If I had to call it something? Flowery. Earthy-flowery. Simple. Honest. Blueberry – Tall, Late & Mysterious This girl’s still reaching – almost 2.20m now, though only three mains broke the 2m mark. Rest is hanging around 1.80m. Buds are forming slooow, pistils are shy. She’s blooming on her own damn schedule – way behind Durban. Started sexing at the same time, but now it’s like Durban’s sprinting and Blueberry’s strolling. Starting to sweat a little… if she’s too late, mold might sneak in when the autumn damp hits. We’ll see. Fingers crossed. What’s Next? Wait... Catch y’all next week. Stay easy. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Flowering Week 24: Autumn Whispers & Yellow Leaf Mysteries Update: 28.08.2025 | Day 171 What’s good, Growmies? Hope your own gardens are treating you right as summer starts to fade. Temps are dipping to around 20°C here, and the ladies are feeling the shift. Didn’t do much this week – sometimes less is more. Noticed a few things, though: Zero pests – and I mean clean – but up on Blueberry’s top budsites, some yellow leaves are showin'. Doesn’t look like nitrogen – more like iron maybe? Wondering if the Bokashi juice dropped the pH a bit too hard. Thought about breakin' out the mineral nutes (Terra Aquatica TriPart flashed through my mind), but nah… I’m stickin' to the organic path. What do you guys think? Durban Poison Buds are bulkin' up nice – fattenin' by the day. Purple pistils poppin’ on every cola. Looks killer. Deeper inside the canopy, some lower yellow leaves (classic nitrogen fade), but nothin' to stress over. She’s healthy where it counts. Blueberry Still stretchin' – slowly but surely. More pistils showin' now, and yeah, those calyxes are takin' on a sweet purple hue. Smell’s still light – neighbors are safe… for now. Next Steps - Keep an eye on that iron-like yellowing – act if it spreads - Stay vigilant for pests tryna hide in new buds - Keep pickin' off old leaves – mold prevention is key - Maybe one more light defoliation on Durban – open her up just a touch more That’s all for this week, folks. Catch y’all next time. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Potassium. Your plants starting to produce buds and needs potassium for bud structure along with calcium and magnesium. I'm not sure what inputs you have or are using. You can message me for more indepth conversation

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Flowering Week 25: Structural Support & Purple Progress Update: 29.08.2025 | Day 17 Hey Growmies, Week 25 brought some clarity – and a little intervention. Remember those yellow leaves up top I mentioned last week? Lower leaves were totally fine, so I knew it wasn’t nitrogen. I posted pics and you guys came through – most of you called it: lack of potassium and phosphorus. So, I did something I rarely do: gave the ladies a mild dose of mineral fertilizer. Mixed a 2L bottle with normal dosage into a 10L watering can filled with rainwater, then split it evenly between both plants. It felt like a small gamble, but sometimes you gotta trust the process – and the community. I didn't want to spend money on organic fertilizers as long as the Tripart bottles are still full from last year. Biggest lesson this year? My compost needs more power. Next season, I’m amping it up with extra horse or pigeon manure to keep those nutrients steady deeper into flower. Strain Check Durban Poison: This girl’s gettin’ heavy. I’m constantly tying branches to my support structure to keep ‘em from snapping. She’s bulking up nicely, and the colors keep deepening into that gorgeous purple she’s becoming known for. The smell? Still pretty moderate – not overpowering yet, which is kinda surprising. Still not seeing much resin on the sugar leaves, but she’s a beauty through and through. Blueberry: She’s still reaching for the sky – definitely wants to be the tallest girl in the garden. Bud sites are becoming more defined now, and she’s slowly starting to form proper buds. Her colors are even more striking than Durban’s, deep and vibrant. Still no real smell to speak of, though. I’m thinking she’ll need until at least the first week of October to fully finish up. Next Steps - Keep a close eye on how they respond to the mild dose of mineral fertilizer - Stay vigilant for pests – especially as buds develop further - Check daily for branches that need extra support and tie them up as needed That’s it for this week, folks. Catch y’all next time. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Flowering Week 26: Storm Battles & Resilience Update: 10.09.2025 | Day 187 Hey Growmies, Week 26 decided to throw some serious weather at us – rain almost every day mixed with strong winds. It was enough to blow my African lady right off her socks! Durban Poison took a full tumble under the weight of those wet, dense buds. Lesson learned: never underestimate a sativa in a storm. I reinforced the whole support setup – added more stakes and wired everything firmly to the fence in the back. Blueberry, on the other hand, stood strong like the queen she is – not even a lean. Strain Check · Durban Poison: Took that fall like an absolute champion. Didn’t skip a beat – just kept bulking up like nothing happened. The smell is now coming in strong, and the colors are getting wilder every day. Respect. · Blueberry: Her buds are swelling nicely and the colors keep intensifying. She handled the monsoon rains and wind like it was a gentle breeze. Starting to give off a faint smell – still subtle, but it’s there. Next Steps · Continue weekly mineral feeding – they’re responding really well · Stay on storm watch – check support structures regularly · Keep an eye out for pests and mold (still all-clear, thankfully) That's it for this week Growmies! Catch y’all next week. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

@Anditsch, Hi Growmie, ich habe gesehen, du suchst nach FF strains in einer deiner Grow questions. Ich stand vor der gleichen Entscheidung. Ich habe deshalb diese beiden Strains genommen. Zusätzlich kommen noch Automatics auf den Balkon. Wenn du bei Automatics am Anfang irgendetwas verkackst, oder die Wetterbedinungen sind am Anfang schlecht, dann bleiben die winzig. Davon abgesehen, hatte ich letztes Jahr trotz den Automatics Probleme mit Schimmel (wie praktische ALLE die in meiner Umgebung Outdoor gegrowt haben. Kannst ja mal gerne meinen Growreport vom letzten Jahr prüfen und schauen, dass Schimmel auch bei Automatics ein riesen Problem war.

asshole Aphids! i have them aswell on my plants .. but bc they arealready in flower i just use ladybugs (i find them in my garden and drop them in my ladies..) but i alwaays spray them before that(flower) with a mix of neem oil and detergent(and luke warm water) and also a lil over the soil U can try that,, it really helps goodluck, outdoor growing is always chalenging, just have to share it with the rest of nature.. (its the price we pay for the 'free' light/sunshine 😎

Smoking_Joe_Fraziercommented3mo ago
@Hologram, right now my plants look fine. I managed to get rid of the ants and suddenly the aphids also disappeared. Unfortunately I don't see any ladybugs in my garden as this would be my preferred solution. But that's OK as I love outdoor grows. I like to use what nature gives me. And thanks for checking in👍

Nice battle! Due to you are in vegetative phase, you can use piretrines to kill pests. Its ver effective! Never use piretrines in blooming phase

Smoking_Joe_Fraziercommented3mo ago
@nonick123, thanks for the hint. But that doesn't sound to good for me because this stuff seems to be toxic. My neighbors dog is also in that garden and I dont wanna harm her. The neem oil and the soap did the trick. Right now it looks good and I hope it stays that way. BTW, good luck with your FB grow my friend

Aphids on my plants are currently only shortly visitors, they like elderberry and hop much more. Still waiting for female signs on my regular Durbans, males have started to show their gender. Hope to match a red one like last year. Wish you furthermore good luck!

Smoking_Joe_Fraziercommented3mo ago
@birdmountain, The aphids are no joke right now. I found ants on my plants that bring them into the tops to farm them. Crazy stuff. And when I remove the aphids, the ants bring them back in a few hours.

@nonick123, Hi my friend, yes I do too. Back in the days when growing wasn't legal I spent a lot of time to search good spots in the forrest. I only used pigeon crap and the soil the forrest had to provide. I grew HUGE trees this way without using lots of ressources. I don't like the excessive use potting soil and peat as this hurts nature.
birdmountain
birdmountaincommentedweek 104mo ago
There are no problems with snails at the moment, it's too dry for that. The aphids, however, can attach themselves to the shoot tips and cripple them. This should be monitored.

@birdmountain, you're absolutely right. I'm planning to spray some neem oil after they are in full growing mode. I absolutely check even under the leaves for some pests.
