Could be youre near a foxhole. Which would be a bonus, eating up the small herbivores.

Your plants look fantastic! With all the moss/lichen, I keep expecting to see a reindeer.

foxes does this sound where they are kinda screaming, sounds like someone is beeing strangled.
really creepy when its dark outside and you hear that.

Healthy looking plants!

Great succes for a first grow, congrats! You could try gettins some batguano and making a tea for your plants, i bet they would benefit from a little phosphorus boost!

Was your seeds feminized and who is the breeder?

Nice work and hope it goes smoothly to the end!

the soil depth at spot 1 is about 30-40 cm deep, and at spot 2 its about 40-50 cm deep. just the cans from the beginning are ~12 cm
hope that will answer you question

It does, thx

i dont think im gonna try that batguano thing, but i will read about it
my seeds (now plants) are feminized and from the breeder Nordenseeds.
i also hope so.

The color is just spot on healthy.

I only mention reindeer as your environment looks well suited to them - not as a reference to the howl you hear. Looks like a great place for a tree-mounted wildlife camera.

Update 9/7 61 days old.

when i arrived to the plants today they didn't look happy at all, they were
hanging really bad because of the warm weather that have been going on
for a couple of days, and i didnt have any time to water them. it was actually the hottest day so far in sweden yesterday! 27 degrees.
i gave them the first dose of nutrients today btw!

Spot 1

as you can see they look very thirsty.

the top of the oldest AK47, starting to look good.



Spot 2


over here they still look good, but next year im gonna skip the cans bacause almost all of them were just laying flat to the soilbed...

the blueberry is growing fast!


Question:
when you remove a damaged/diseased leaf, do you just remove the leaf or do you remove it all the way in to the stem like I did on this pic?



take care everyone!

Seriously bro, bat guano! Flavor!

I do it the way you do it. Outstanding grow, thanks for sharing.

 

[Femora]

Oh, darn. they really look thirsty! Thats the downside of raised beds...
You can counter this a little by removing growth on the bottom of the bed, before putting soil there. this makes is easier for the roots to penetrate the native soil and ensure water to the plant..


About the leaf-removal; just like ODK said. you did it correctly. The stem of the leaf is a spot for mold if you leave it on and there is some theory about that just removing the leaf-part and leave the "stem" will be more stressful for the plant.

Krossing my fingers for that dry bed.. Best of luck!

They should bounce back, but they will be stunted abit. Not too much though. I guess you know how many days they can go in the extreme heat before they need watering now, so thats a good thing.
DYNA-GRO's PRO-TEKT silica solution really helps protect the plant during times of drought. Only need a 1/4 tsp per gln everyother watering.

I went over there today again to check how they were doing & to water them and they were just fine!

Update 25/7 76 days old (if i counted it right).

Hello all of you, long time ago huh..
they have gotten some really nice stinkin' buds!
the summer here in sweden where i live has just been perfect for growing outdoors! sunny almost every day, no rain at all (very little).
most of the times i have got there they have been hanging really bad so now i know i need to water them every second/third day...


Spot 1

all of them goodies!

tops!!

a plant of the oldest ones!

sticky one!

the most mature one!

 

[Fyratjugo]

another one!



Spot 2

them all

the blueberry!

another pic of the BB

and another of the BB too! all of the hairs/pistills have turned brown, when do you think i can harvest this one? or any other plant? im going to buy a microscope with a 60x - 100x zoom btw so i can look at the trichomes and see when they are ready.

 

[Fyratjugo]

also another question. some leaves have started to turn purple on a ak47, why is that? is it because its getting colder outside?

 

[greenertea]

NICE!! really nice, that 1 with the brown hairs mabey close to ready, for me when the hairs are 50%-75% brown they are done, so get that scope

Good luck.

 

[Fibber_Magees]

Yes, no problem Can appear because of cold temps or based on genetics

Update 28/8

hello everybody! its been a while since i made an update, my camera dont have any batteries
and i have not found any at home and ive been too lazy to go to the store and buy some i guess..
but anyways, all of the plants at spot 1 have been cut down in 2 rounds.
i started by cutting down 3 of them, and it stank reeeally really bad in my apartment (had no idea it was gonna smell that bad).
the total dried weight (not cured) was about 70 - 80 grams and the smoke wasnt that bad.
for about a little more than a week ago i cut down the last 5 plants at spot 1 and i am currently curing them to see if they will taste better/smell better and be more potent.
the reason i cutted them down now is because they were getting attacked by mold unfortunately.
otherwise i would have let them stay for about 2 weeks more.

over at spot 2 they are flowering really good and i hope i can let them stay a bit longer
than at spot 1. the blueberry looks terrible right now, its covered in flies and mold so i dont know if its gonna be so much to smoke on it...
but the other plants are looking good and 2 of them have got some reeeally fat tops! like seriously, they are huge!

i need to go now but take care! hope i can upload some pics next time too

Be careful drying in your apartment without a room or tent ready!!!

Stay safe, i'll lurk for pics.
