Finally, a general and quick assessment on the outcomes of my first legal growth of cannabis, in Germany:
- the first 2 autoflowering plants produced 22 grams of dry cannabis (using small 3 liters pot and losing 13 grams to powdery mildew and mold)
- with these flowers, I've made 85 grams of cannabutter (5.5 grams of cannabis) and 50 ml of infused olive oil (1 gram)
- I also made 180 ml of infusion in alcohol (I think around 8 grams)
- almost half a kilo of wet cannabis on a photoperiod growing east
- when I saw some big buds forming mold, I decarbed 44 grams and made 430 ml of infused MCT oil
- there's still some buds drying, let's see if mold will form.

Using just solar light, I consider it a huge success. I cannot consume all this for a looong time. I don't use that often, and I intend to continue like this. It was a cool experience with several learnings, maybe I'll write some article when I have time. I never bought illegal cannabis and I will continue like that.

5/5

Saint Klaus arrived earlier and there was a Christmas tree full of gifts last week...

I'll describe the last days of my experiment growing the legal cannabis plants this year using just solar light.

It's autumn time. 🍁 🥦

I just noticed I have 420 followers, so I decided to share a video of my plant. 💚 Unfortunately, I cannot travel due to an ankle sprain in the last few days, so I'll follow the development of my plant during the whole of September.

And the photoperiod update: it has reached 1 meter in height! This is a location that only gets direct sunlight in the morning in the east. Let's see if it makes it through the fall in Berlin. I wish it would start flowering soon!

The 29.5 grams of wet flowers ended up with 7.3 grams after drying. Most of it (c. 6 g) was used to make cannabutter and infused olive oil. The rest is curing.

The cannabutter became now brisadeiro (a word play with the Brazilian sweet 'brigadeiro') and magic beijinho (little kiss).😋 I also want to make some hard candies and caramel candies.

After buying a proper magnifying glass (60x), which is much better than the microscope, I realized I harvested too early. But after trying some on toast, I had no idea the potency was so high and the bigger one is still growing west. 🙈

After inspecting the smaller cannabis with a microscope and seeing several trichomes with orange heads, I decided to harvest most flowers. Also because I saw some beginning of powdery mildew or mold.

I don't know if I harvested correctly, but I cut all leafs without trichomes using a glove to hold the bud. And with tweezers, I removed some small insects in the buds. I dipped them on a solution with some sodium bicarbonate and lemon juice and now they are drying.

I'm impressed by the total weight for a plant growing east on a windowsill and balcony on a 3 liter pot: 29.5 grams. And that's just the smaller plant, I suppose the other can reach around 50 grams. What will be the total weight after drying? Around 10 grams?

I know people growing on pots 3 to 4 times bigger and they reached at most 7 grams after drying, but just using water, so likely using fertilizers had some effect.

I'm satisfied and I'm sure the plant doesn't have any harmful chemicals other than the exciting one. That was the first round. 😌

A side-by-side comparison of two cannabis plants of the same strain, gorilla glue auto, one growing on a balcony to the east and the other to the west on a windowsill.

Guess which one has grown better with more flowers. The one with fewer flowers has an additional simple LED light.

Not much to update. The flowers are growing slowly, mainly the ones of the plant on the windowsill to the west. Maybe there's around 4 grams when dry? Both autoflowering ones have around 56 cm in a just 3 liter pot.

The photoperiod cannabis is already almost 70 cm tall. It was 39 cm when I transplanted from a 3 to 11 liter pot and she looks happier now. At the next week I'll try to put her inside my house to be in the dark from 23h to 8h. Let's see if this can trigger the blooming.

On the 10th week of the autoflowering cannabis, the trichromes are still transparent. This amplified photo was taken one week ago. In the next post I update how the plants look like this week.
