Greetings from Germany. First (legal) balcony grow, Skunk #1, week 4 (sopuli.xyz)

April 1st was a special day for us growmies in Germany. We are now allowed to grow up to 3 plants in our homes. This is the first outdoor grow on my balcony (third floor, south facing).

The Skunksisters are 2 clones from my indoor grow. Skunk1 (front) was released into the wild 3 weeks ago while it was cold and dark in Germany (thanks climate change!). Skunk2 was luckier, she could spend more time inside under artificial lights and heat. You can clearly spot the happy one...

I grow for 20 years, now I can show my hobby. I love it!

Green thumbs up πŸ‘

Cheers my friend and good luck

Congratulations on having weed legalized, where here in the Netherlands it is still not, although we have the first coffeshops around 50 years ago.

I remember working in Remscheid and my boss smoking hashish with my coworker and me, after work we where stoned af. He had been jailed before getting caught smuggling hash so he was pretty careful, secretly stashed and all ash and waste through the toilet. This all more than 30 years ago.

I recall it was easier to get hashish than weed, he had to drive to Dortmund for the good stuff. I quit smoking weed, but I really enjoy my neighbors can grow legal now. I hope your skunk be skankin'.

The Netherlands is trial running actual legalisation no? A couple of cities, like Tilburg and Breda legalised production and sale. Like 100% recreational legalisation. So much more β€œlegal” than what Germany has now, which is basically decriminalisation.

I wish skunk was a strain more available here in the US. Really hard to find it not already spliced with some other strain.

Did you try this database?

Don't be fooled by the 90s look, it's probably the most comprehensive database for strains and breeders worldwide.

Well I haven't grown my own yet as I just got into a space where I can. Conservative neighborhood so I'd want to grow indoors and currently have zero equipment.

I was more meaning I haven't found any just straight skunk in a dispensary in a few years.

I'm always searching for Skunk #1, never seen it, I had to grow it to acquire it. I wish there were boutique dispensaries that sold stuff like this, and landrace strains, etc.

And I'm here, just 30 minutes north of the boarder in Denmark, and it's illegal. So jealous of you! And they're looking great!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Fight and vote, I guess. We got lucky wiht the greens but it was a hard fight. You know us, we don't like change at all...

Fantastic looking ladies growmie. It’s legal outside here, but the required restrictions and my location don’t make it that great of an idea.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's gorgeous. I'm glad you can be open about it now. Having to hide such a benign hobby as gardening for so long is the worst.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm still on edge though, living next to a hotel building. Their 3rd floor corridor window has a clear view on my experiment and I'm not sure someone might report something. It is all so new here and I live in a mainly conservative county.

Where I'm at it just can't be visible from the street, hopefully nobody snitches on you. Godspeed

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

We have a strict kids policy, they are not allowed to reach the stuff. That is for sure on my balcony so I hope I'm safe.
