Various Fast Versions by Sweet Seeds (Outdoor-Grow 51N)

[GrowingHessia]

Hey Guys,

Grab yourself a spliff, listen to some nice music and take a seat!
I'm a little late with my grow diary, so theres a lot for me to write and much for you to read.

This year I'm growing a few of Sweet Seeds Fast Versions in my garden.
I already grew the Green Poison, Crystal Candy, Red Madarine and Black Jack before.
Sadly i couldnt harvest the last one, since i had some hungry animals in my guerilla-garden.
The other Fast Versions performed well, they produced some dense Buds with a good leaf-bud-ratio, nice aroma, lots of resin and most importantly - a well timed harvest, which is essential in my climate.

After that i had a few years break from growing, due to a lack of motivation. And shame on me - even this years "Legalization" here in Germany almost got past me.
So after convincing me, me and my growmate ordered some last minute seeds.
Because i really liked their performance back then, we ordered following Strains:

- Gorilla Girl F1 Fast Version
- Sweet Skunk F1 Fast Version
- Papaya Zoap F1 Fast Version
- Jack 47 F1 Fast Version
- Green Poison F1 Fast Version
- Crystal Candy F1 Fast Version (bonus)

Unfortunately this year i wasnt really lucky with my germination rate this year, especially with the Papaya Zoap and Jack 47 - only 1/4 germinated each.
Since i didnt have any issues with Sweets before and their other seeds, i think this might be my own fault idk.

Some Seedlings at the End of May:

I put the first them outside just a few days later, when they were still pretty weak... here is one example (Gorilla Girl in the compost):

3 got killed by some curious chickens and some others were aten by snails.

It took almost one month to see some good progress and i was already desperate, thinking my grow is going to be a total mess.

This is how they looked late June:

Gorilla Girl, Papaya Zoap (almost killed by snails), Jack 47 and the bigger one in the back is the Green Poison:

Shortly after this picture i rescued the Papaya Zoap to the balcony, alongside 2 other snail-victims:

July:

I continued the "snail-training":

And i forgot to show the 2 Gorilla Girls and 4 Sweet Skunks which are also on the balcony. They are a few weeks younger than the others.

The Garden-Gang is getting into shape - now you can see all of them on a single picture (the one in the Water-Barrel is the Crystal Candy):

Now that I have reached the upload limit, i will have a smokers break and you guys can start reading. I will post the rest later on, so you will have the latest status of my plants aswell!

Keep growing, i wish you guys a sucessful final - no mold, no thives!

The "Garden-Gang" 10 days later:

Me inbetween the Crystal Candy and Gorilla Girl (I'm ~1,90cm)

The Papaya Zoap on the balcony is doing well too:

My aim with her is to cover the whole pot with leaves - kind of an outdoor SOG.

August:

Another ~10days later in my garden (I transferred the pots a little and set an extra fence):

Compost-Gorilla Girl:

Secured her with ropes against the wind - she must have reached ~1,8-1,9m by that time.

Another look on the balcony - its getting green now!

Papaya Zoap almost finished training.

The view into the garden, looking from the balcony:

First flowers started to show on the Green Poison in the first week of August:

The others followed the next days - and by now all of them are flowering for at least a few weeks!
The beginnig of flowering was almost at the same time, for all the strains.
The slowest into flowering is the big Compost-Gorilla, i think the high amount of nutrients in there delays/slows the flowering!

Now here is a picture for you to see the current dimensions of the plants:

We reinforced the strings on the Gorilla Girl, since some of them broke during a storm.

This photo was taken yesterday:

The two biggest plants are Green Poison (~2m, 3rd on the left) and Gorilla Girl (~2,1-2,2m, on the right)

Buds on the Green already looking really frosty and smelling really intense skunky-sweet. The buds are growing in size right now.

Jack 47 looks similar to the Green but a little bit smaller. The aroma on her is different but very intense too - smells really citrusy, i love that!

So thats it, now you have the latest status!

Next time i will show you the balcony again. But for now i will wait for the buds to grow in size, so you can see a difference.

Let it grow!

Spectacular backyard grow. Germany is growing the dank by the looks of this:

This shot is beautiful.

Welcome to my grow @growsjoe1 and thanks for your appreciation!
I'm really in love with the Jack aswell, she's one of my favourites.

If you like this one, you should check out todays photos of my Green Poison - I swear this stuff is looking toxic.

I'm pretty hyped with the flowers alreaey being so resinous in this stage.

We're having a pretty dry and sunny start into autm this year and the forecasts say it will continue for at least 2 weeks or more, which isn't for granted here.
Which is giving me hope to reach full maturity, atleast for a few plants.
I've seen much worse years before, even though this year started pretty cloudy and wet.

Right now it still feels like being in the middle of summer, so i got out to take some better pics:

Sitting on the balcony getting myself baked, enjoying the nice view...

Looking to the right, the view is still nice

Papaya Zoap produces some fat trichomes, you can see them zooming in.
The smell on this plant is pretty heavy and I would best describe it as fruity sweetness - dont know of it's Papaya yet but I'm keen to find out.

This Sweet Skunk is looking and smelling pretty nice aswell, not much to say. I have one pheno of this strain with a strong lemon/citrus smell, which reminds me a bit of Lemon Haze or something like that.

Now were looking to the left, down into the backyard...

Aaaand a little bit closer!

Green Poison budshots - better than the last ones. A few more weeks and she should be ready... not my first time with her and definitly not the last!

Gorilla Girl is a real giant and by far the biggest plant I have ever grown in my young life.
I think she probably has the potential to even reach one pound - what are your views on this?

Now that she's starting to throw some real flowers and not just a few hairs, I'm pretty optimistic of getting her almost if not ready within the first half of Octobre.





Note to myself: Plants are looking way more better in sunlight

Hey folks,

Weather is pretty shitty rn, let's hope there will be no mold!

Next week we will have a few days with temperatures in the 70's again, at least I hope so.

Buds on the Green Poison are getting pretty dense now and the first brown hairs are showing up.
So far there is no mold on her, hopefully it will stay that way...
I want to give her at least one more week!

Green Poison is the first one crossing the finishing line and got harvested today!

I was getting nervous because of the bad weather last week and I already spotted a few moldy leaves and preflowers, so we harvested today.

We lost <1% to mold which is pretty good.
I planned to leave her a little longer but I wanted no risk for this plant, since the others havent been showing any mold and there seems to be some good weather ahead!

The plant is still pretty ripe and has produced some decent sized, crazy smelling nugs which are pretty dense for my outdoors.
There is also a lot of resin on

Maincola infront

She is really fast-flowering, you can tell the difference compared to other strains.
She was probably 40-45 days into flower, which gave me a weird feeling while harvesting. But still on the other hand the buds are looking really good for just ~40 days of flowering!

I will post some pictures of the trimmed buds these days, I only took some bad pictures bc im tired now.

4 left and the biggest is yet to come

Now ill get some rest gn8 folks and keep growing

 

[mr.brunch]

Very nice work

 

[GrowingHessia]

Thanks mate @mr.brunch!

The buds are getting into shape now, i guess probably 3-4 days and they can go into the glasses.

Looking into the backyard the plants were enjoying the sunshine today and are looking awesome with their yellowish colours!

Besides that this septoria thing still going on but it seems like it doesnt affect the buds production.
Only bad news is i had to remove some budrot today from the small Gorilla Girls headbud (1st in the row). A sidebranch was affected aswell, unfortunately she is far from being ripe, she needs 1-2 more weeks at least.
I think there is too much leaf on this plant so ventillation isnt that good plus she has dense buds. Maybe i should do some defoliation on her, but im not sure...

Looks like Jack 47 is the next one to get harvested, lets have a look on her

I checked trichomes on her with the pocket microscope i bought yesterday. Sorry for the bad quality, taking pics is pretty hard through this - especially being baked





Doesnt look too bad imo but im not experienced in trichome-science, so i it would be awesome to hear your opinions on this!

By just looking at the buds with my bare eyes i still see plenty of white stigmas... id say the buds could still thicken up a bit
