Week 6: Preparing for flowering
Timelaps : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmNSPcljTOQ
Hello dear weed friends,
I’m back with my sixth weekly report on my grow with four different strains: Lemon Gelato, Orange Sherbert, Apple Fritter and Bruce Banner. This week was very exciting for me, because I trained my plants further and prepared for the switch to the flowering phase. But I also had some setbacks and challenges to overcome. Here are the details:
My plants have developed extremely well compared to my first grow. They are all very bushy and have formed many branches. My net is almost full, but I will wait another week to allow all plants to reach the net.
I hope that I can switch to flowering next Sunday. That means that I will change my light cycle from 18/6 to 12/12. This will stimulate the plants to form flowers and show their sex characteristics.
This week was unfortunately not only pleasing, but also sad. I ripped off one of the main branches of the Lemon Gelato by too much pressure :( That made me extremely sad, because it was one of the most beautiful and strongest branches. I think that the plant will recover, but it is very unfortunate that it hits this special strain, of which there are only limited seeds.
Apart from that, there are also other small problems. The Apple Fritter is as you can see in the pictures the largest and will make me work to keep it down. It grows very fast and has already reached the net. I will have to tie it down further to control its growth.
The Bruce Banner is unfortunately very small and will cause me problems with its height if it does not make a jump this week. It is the smallest of all and has a lot of space in the net. I hope that it gains some more before I go into flowering.
It was apart from my loss a great week for me, because they have developed extremely well in my opinion. I am very proud of my plants and look forward to the flowering phase.
Furthermore, I would like to mention that my four-week vacation is now over and I will soon have more time for the community and my grow again. I visited Holland and Spain in my vacation and it was a great experience. There were delicious strains and plenty of sun, but now it’s time to get back to work. My favorite of this vacation was a Gorilla Glue that I bought in Amsterdam. It was of unforgettable taste and effect.
I will do a defoliation tomorrow to improve the air circulation and light penetration. Then I will leave them until the lollipopping, which means that I will remove the lower leaves and branches to concentrate the energy on the upper buds.
I thank you for your attention and hope that you liked my report. I look forward to the next weeks and am curious how my plants will develop further. See you soon!
@GrowWithFlow,Thank you dude, yes this is my second grow in a lifetime. Your plants look really outstanding, enjoy your west coast o.g. and don’t glue your hands together when trying 😅
@Schneidersitz,Vielen Dank, mein Freund.
Das klingt nach einem guten Plan. Du kannst dich gerne in meinem Zelt entspannen,
während ich deine riesigen Super Silver Lemon Haze Buds als Kopfkissen benutze. :D
Sie sehen fantastisch aus und ich bin sicher, sie duften auch himmlisch. 😋🙏🙏
Super, ça avance bien, elles ont l'air en pleine forme et uniformes. J aime beaucoup cette période de croissance car on peut agir sur les plantes pour la suite et on voit rapidement les effets du travail. Bravo et on attend la suite. 👏👏👍
Thank you for your kind comment, Dolfom. I'm glad you like the plants.
You're right, the growth phase is an exciting time in which you can observe and influence changes. I fell so much better now to work with the plant.
I'm excited to see how the plants will develop further. They are much better than my first attempt.😍
I hope you stay tuned and watch the next episodes. 😊👌@Dolfom,
Wow buddy!! super nice buds
What an amazing grow so far - good job and well done 🤝
Happy Growing & cant wait for your upcoming weeks 🌱
Cheers, Bud Boutique 👩🌾
@BudBoutique, Thank you man, I can only return the compliment.
The next 2 weeks are very important for me, because after that I will hardly be able to count on mass production.
Thank you, see you soon.
@Wastent91, Thanks for your nice comment. I'm glad you like the little girls.
They are very hyperactive and I have to train and play with them every day.
They are growing very quickly now.
I also wish you good luck and great harvests. 😊
Lumatek 300 w/pro est une super lampe, c est mon projet futur pour remplacer mes merdes chinoises, mais c est un budget, et pour l'instant je n en ai pas les moyens. Bientôt....✌️
C est de plus en plus énorme, tes plantes sont vraiment belles et en pleine forme, on voit les tetes principales qui émergent comme le pain de sucre à Rio 😁, je pense que tu fais bien de les suspendre avec des yoyos pour ne pas que tout le poids repose sur la tige. Ça les soulage. Et plutôt que rincer avant la récolte, je fais comme toi, j arrête les engrais 2 ou 3 semaines avant et j arrose avec de l eau au PH, la plante puise les engrais restants et il n en reste plus à la fin. Bravo encore, ça donne vraiment envie et de s'inspirer de toi pour se perfectionner. 👍☮️ bon Weed à tous 🙏
@Budz_Bunny, Sensi Seeds c est le premier vendeur de graines que j ai connu, tres réputé, j adorre car ils proposent des variétés hold School et modernes aussi. J ai hâte de voir tes résultats finaux. Bon Weed

@Dolfom,I can understand that with the branches, this grow a branch broke off when I removed the tent, which is now growing super strong and rich in buds, sometimes pain helps. I will do a sensi run again for the 4th grow, I was thrilled with the first one and my wife wants CBD from Sensi. If something happens with the legalization here next year, maybe outdoor. I will definitely add some newer ones from the research program, the strains sound just too delicious, take care and see you soon brother
@Dolfom, Jo Buddy, they are not developing the way I want them to, apart from the Apple Fritter, but that can still change later. I have decided to stick with my old techniques and perfect them first. i have to check u out now ✌️.
@Still_Smoq,The end is always like chewing gum, really tough but so nice how they smell this time it is easy to bear, thank you for your visits and great comments.👇
Bravo pour ton prix Sensi Seeds, c est ma marque préférée depuis toujours. Tu fais un travail de malade et c est une juste récompense pour tes journaux qui sont clairs et détaillés. Tes plantes ont fleuries assez vite et les têtes sont déjà bien développées. Ont attend la suite. Bravo encore 👏👏 bon weed à toi ☮️
Thank you Dolfom, I really appreciate what you say. Sensi Seeds is the most famous producer of seeds in my country, that’s why I used them and was not disappointed as expected. I will visit Amsterdam in 2 days and there also hopefully be able to make my decision for new strains, visits to Sensi and Barneys are planned and I am very happy maybe to test a few strains that I already have in the tent. And again thank you for the congratulations, I would have rated other growers higher but I am happy because of that only more.
I’m enjoying a drag of my Sensi Skunk now and look forward to hearing from you soon. Peace🙌
C est bien rempli tout ça, tu investi dans des équipements top niveau et ça se voit. Toutes tes plantes sont superbes et en pleine forme. Ça va être intéressant de voir tout ça en fleur. 👏👏☮️
Jo dude, thanks for your comment, I’m also curious how it will turn out and whether they will look very different, which I hope to give my grow title some meaning, when do you plan to start a new run and do you have any ideas for strains?
Hi Chef , yes indeed, I was not satisfied with the video quality here on the site and I have been waiting for a long time for an answer from the support regarding the video formats and sizes that I can use, nice that you like it👊, I think I will make the videos only accessible via the link until the grow is finished and then make it public and slowly build up the channel.✊
@PapaNugs,Thank you for your positive comment. I am honored by your reaction.
I'm much more confident than the first time. I look forward to learning different techniques and improving mine in the future.
This community and people like you are both inspiration and teachers. ! 👏 👏 👏
Très bon, on voit bien dans la vidéo comment ils ont tous bien rattrapé leur retard sur le géant pomme et qu'ils déploient leurs ailes, on dirait des papillons. En tout cas tout se passe bien pour toi 👏👏☮️
Hello Dolfom, based on your results I would not call your lamps rubbish, but yes I can understand you. Better is always possible.
I can only recommend the lamp to you.
I hope for good to very good development in this week. It remains exciting how they develop.
Thank you for your visits, it is always an honor for me.✊
