Frisian Dew in the Big Greenhouse
- Thread starter chak-ra
- Start date
Dear Friends
I'm late for the update. Much has been going on here and I didn't have time to be on time... does that sound crazy?
Anyway. First: we welcome 2 new strains in our Greenhouse. These are the CBD Critial Mass and the CBD Nordle by CBD-crew, donated by a medicinal member of the CSC.
We are very pleased to have CBD-enriched strains growing in our greenhouse!
Still young, but alive and kickin' nontheless.
Critial Mass CBD:
Nordle CBD:
Now for an update on the Frisian Dew...
Btw: THC123: thanks for the feedback on the autoE! Perhaps you could post that description in the Testing DP super auto's-thread?

Frisian Dew still steady as she goes.
Normally, they should be in flowering right now. They are starting though. It would seem they are a little behind on schedual... about 10 days or so.
First we thought it was due to light pollution, but we tested and everything was fine. So could be that the high N-content of the soil and the copious amount of soil is delaying flowering onset a bit.
But she is starting and that is the most important thing.
The heigt on the biggest 2 Frisians is 3,60 meters. Average we stand at 2,70 meters. Still a bit of strech is expected over the next 2 weeks.
The biggest ones are touching the gutter of the roof already.
As for the Fungal Disease: doesn't seem to progress anymore... I find this strange but perhaps the very very low humidity could explain the fact the fungus (coming from inside the plant) dies off as soon as it makes contact with the air, leaving its devastating work only half way done.. I know this might sound improbable, but it is the only explanation I've got why it is halting progression.
I take this as a good sign. Also, no other plant suffers similar symptoms.
One plant has a slight genetic defect in some of its side branches. It produces a sort of 'flat' stem, as seen in the StrainHunters vid of Arjan & Franco's trip to Morocco. Very strange. The apical bud of these branches is distorted and twisted. Otherwise this plant is healthy and vigorous.
We have the spidermites fairly under control. We've used K-salts, diatomaceous earth, a natural pyrethin and we're going to apply neem oil both foliar and in the watering in a couple of days.
Some plants had to deal with some phyto-toxicity due to the first 2 anti-spidermite treatments, but recovered well. This might have caused a slight delay in flowering onset aswell.
Now, picture time.

Very nice grow! You vegged a long time for so little soil. In the greenhouse i up plant from 10 gal to 250 gal with 6-8 weeks of veg and have a full root mass at end of flowering. Next year BIGGER beds Better fruit!
lol i thought the same, but he dug down 50 cms. they have plenty of soil
Thanks Guys!
@ THC: yes I have
Still need to make a thread on that one
@ Wintergreens: Gaius is right But thanks for the concern bro!
@ Gaius: Maybe I ought to make the pots stand out above the soil some more next year?
@ Browser: Word back dude!
@ VnO: That means a lot man, thanks!
@ Comustal: Dude! So cool the CBD-oil is helpen your mum! Thanks for droppin' by!
Hopefully we get to see some first signs of purple next week!

great to see chak ra.. enjoying this thread a lot
Unless you just want some nice pix or an interesting time, chop the fascinated stems off, they will yield bugger all, rot and steal all the energy of the plant for this bullshit. Have a look at my album from last year, 3 of the fuckers, ...sorry to say this.
Please do not shoot the messenger.

plants are looking great..,.what is your watering schedule like? id imagine with such small rootbases maybe every day?
Hi Chaos
Thanks man! Yeah, I'm planning to cut the deformed branches out. Just wanted to have a look at the progression for a week. That way I can learn a bit from it. But they will be gone this week
I never shoot messengers What would Jebus do?
@Yes4prop215: Well, as said before, they don't have a small soil volume. So watering is happening every 3 days on average. Even in the really hot summer weather (45+ degrees inside the greenhouse) they don't get water every day.
Watering every day is not good. Better let the soil dry out a bit to stimulate root growth.
People use all fancy root stimulants with the watering and then they water everyday because they think that'll make them roots grow... The opposite is true however!
Remember, they are in full soil, so getting root bound or pot bound isn't likely to happen here...
Thanks guys!

Man... Time to start my own Cannabis Social Club. This guy is irritating me till the point of insanity!
The one who controls the club and knows no-thing about growing, plants or Cannabis for that matter.
But you know,... people in power... Doesn't only happen in politics.
Too bad

shit, always a pain when the boss is not happy about some thing or other, lol. whats his complaint? hope it gets sorted out. not fun to work if things are not cool between people.
Hi G
Yeah, that's right. He's the reason I quit my job at TUP CSC.
The club needs to produce about 110 kg for 300 members on a yearly basis. TUP works with small growers, except for us in the greenhouse.
The discussion is the following:
When I was in TUP, I negociated a partnership between TUP and Dutch Passion. The plan was to do a TUP-DP project with several DP-strains (4 autoflower strains and the Frisian) in the Greenhouse, to promote sensible organic growing.
Next, the boss made the call by himself to make us lessen the amount of plants we're going to test from the donated seeds from DP. DP donated lots of seed for free for this project (autos mostly).
Because of the fact we (2 people) were working so hard to make this project happen and get everything in order, we were very bummed out when we where told we couldn't test 50 autoflowers of each strain, but had to limit it to a lot less. Though the members of the club demand and need more production from their plants.
Now, as we must finally test 2 more strains, he is concerned about over-production for the CSC this year.
Let's do the math shall we?
CSC needs (yearly) about 110 kg.
The small growers have an average capacity of about 15-20kg yearly taken together. (I know this as I did the administration and product supply chain management as part of my job at the CSC)
Now, we have an average capacity of about the same as all the small ones combined. This gives us a total of yearly production around 30 - 60 kg. Means there's a lot short of the 110 kg needed to satisfy the members.
Things could be so much better if EGO's weren't in the way of the Great Path.
So, I made effort to bring DP and TUP together. For the members of the club of course... but alas, he is twisting and turning that relationship to the point of fracture.
That being said, a word of warning.
