Tuetenkleber Hello dear friends and thank you for your attention! It has already been 14 days since someone pressed the start button for their little earthlings, and today they want to report on the progress. Someone planted a total of nine seeds, of which unfortunately only six passed the willpower test. Six from Barney's Farm and three from DutchFem. Well, you can't always have it all, right? Unfortunately, all three from DutchFem were a disappointment, especially the Orange Haze... but hey, maybe it will work out in the next grow! But you know what? In the end, like by magic, they actually received three additional plants as a gift! Wasn't that fantastic? So now they finally have a complete group of nine plants, all with a proud 10 liters of substrate available. The substrate consists of a mix of Light Mix, Coco Mix, and oatmeal, enriched with a rich 5% dose of Floganic. They had prepared it 14 days earlier and let it mature. Photos will follow soon! In their tent, we have a great selection of strains: Three Gorilla Zkittlez from Barney's Farm. Sounds almost like a monkey gang, doesn’t it? Three Bubble Haze from DutchFem. If it didn't work out with the Orange Haze, maybe it will with this wonderful bubbly strain! Once Amnesia Lemon. No idea what to think of that, except "Oops, they forgot how good it smells!" And last but not least, two Runtz Muffin. Sounds like a tasty dessert and they can’t wait to take a bite! For the lighting, feel free to check the bio. But if you have questions, let them know. And who knows, maybe there will be upgrades soon. But more on that later! The seedling phase is over, and everyone can slowly transition to counting the growth phase. The two Bubble Haze and the one Runtz Muffin are already pushing a bit more since they were planted earlier. But one thing they can tell you, my friends, all the plants are doing great! The conditions in the tent are absolutely optimal. We have lush green and impressive growth, and there’s really not much more to report. After all, they are babies, and what do babies do at the beginning? Right, they eat and sleep - and don’t say much! 😂 Thank you for listening and see you at the next update! Feel free to leave a like👍 and let’s continue this adventure with fun and humor. Have a great day, friends!

Tuetenkleber Hey folks, he's back with his plant update! He knows you've all been waiting for it just like he waits for the new One Piece episode every week. But don't worry, he won't let you down. So his little green friends have now got a new rhythm. In the morning, the IR lamp is turned on 15 minutes before the main light comes on and turned off when the main light goes off. In the evening, the whole game happens again when the main light is turned off. That's basically the alarm clock for the plant - getting up earlier means more time to grow! And then it's off to bed in the evening - after all, our lovely flowers need their beauty sleep too. Thanks to the new lamps, he finally had a reason to tidy up the cable chaos 😄 But hey, that's not all! The UV lamp is currently running for one hour a day and will even run for two hours until the end of the growth phase. Yep, you heard that right: TWO HOURS!! Those little green guys will soon be wearing sunglasses! And if you're wondering why some seedlings are bigger than others: No panic! They're just different ages (just like us humans). His timing starts only when the seeds are planted in the soil. By the way, he has an indica plant here, and it differs from its sativa counterparts by having a slightly more compact growth form (kind of like my belly after a good meal). But what really surprised him is his Gorilla Zkittlez 2 – this lady is really rocking hard and making her colleagues look pretty old! So, dear folks, that's it from him again. He hopes he could put a little smile on your face, and if so, please leave a like (but not too many, or he'll get an overdose of happiness hormones). Until next time!

Tuetenkleber Hey guys, welcome back to the crazy grow weekly report! Wow, what a wild week we've had. Where should we start? So, our buddy was at a festival, and when he came back and opened his tent, he was totally blown away. The plant grew a whole 12 cm! It was so big that he had to take comparison photos to prove it. Incredible, right? The greenery was lush, and the stems really beefed up. Only one plant has some crazy leaf discoloration, but hey, no stress, he’s not letting that bother him. And then he started tying down the plants, you know, a low-stress technique. But you won’t believe it, one of them didn’t make it and just snapped! That was really heartbreaking, but hey, he made the best of it and just topped the plant. You can’t always do everything perfectly, right? Still, the ladies are doing well, they’re shooting out new shoots like crazy and really want to get closer to the light. In the next few days, they’ll be tied down a bit more to make the best use of space. And by the end of the week, it’s already time to flower, my friends! The substrate is showing its best side, it’s working great with the plants. But do you know what the secret to this gigantic growth is? For one, our buddy used new IR/UV lights, and for another, he’s using mycorrhiza for the first time. It’s a crazy fungus that interacts with the plant's roots, giving it water while the plant provides it with sugar. A win-win situation, I tell you! As for the massive fly problem, he’s got that under control. No annoying critters in the tent anymore. Phew, lucky him! So, enough about this week, folks! Thanks for reading and don’t forget to leave a like! Until next week, stay cool!

Tuetenkleber Hey guys!!!! There are updates again and he wants to apologize right away for taking so long. But everyone needs a vacation sometimes :) I'm keeping this short because there's actually not that much to report from the last week of growth. All in all, they have grown super well and handled the tying down great, stretching all their little heads towards the light. He's amazed every time at how much biomass this plant can produce in just a few days... It's incredible. So the growth phase is now complete and the big update will come in the next post :) Until then

Tuetenkleber Moin Moin, dear grow buddies! 😄 Wow, he has completed the first week of flowering. In the last 10 days, he was on vacation and had to ask someone else to take care of his ladies. Luckily, everything runs fully automatically for them - so he only had to worry about watering and manually turning on the UV light (which is really annoying because he can only control it with a switch). At this point, he wants to sincerely thank the caretaker for the care during his absence. 😊 On Sunday, the main light went off after 13 hours, and the cycle took its course. And what a course it was... Guys, you can't imagine how crazy everything has grown. The stretch was enormous, especially with the Gorilla Zkittelz. However, the three have become a bit lanky. But they still look beautiful. In contrast, his indica buddy, the Runtz Muffin, hasn't grown nearly as big. But that's somewhat logical with a 70% indica dominance. By the way, you could also notice that the light intensity isn't the same everywhere. That's why he added five extra 20-watt LEDs to the tent, resulting in an average light intensity of about 900 micromol over 1.44 square meters. That's really ambitious. Surprisingly, the lamps don't produce as much heat as he thought, which positively affects the temperature in the tent. All in all, he has to say that the growth has rarely been so beautiful, consistent, and flawless. Today he set up the net to help the plants support their heavy buds. 😂 What’s also noticeable at the moment is the water consumption. Between 0.8 and 1 liter of water per day - and it's still increasing. But hey, what do you expect when you consider how much biomass they are producing? The flowering cycle is now running with 13 hours of light and 11 hours of darkness. Why? Quite simply, thanks to the UV/IR lamps. He puts them to bed early and wakes them up quickly. They love this system, and it has been working flawlessly so far. Unfortunately, it's now difficult to take a photo of each individual plant, but he thinks the overall condition can be well captured with group photos. But it is definitely clearly visible that the ladies are in the flowering phase. 😍🌸💚 See you next week, my friends!

Tuetenkleber Hello dear friends and welcome to the second week of flowering! 😄 Oh, you can't even imagine what has been going on here in the last week! It was really exciting and a bit exhausting for the girls, as some changes had to be made to the tent. The so-called "stretch" in the first two weeks was quite a surprise. The space just got too tight, so the fancy table had to go and the ladies were quickly put on the floor. After all, he doesn't want to risk them getting sunburned, so he played it safe. So it was: clear out, clear out, clear out! And of course, he immediately set up the activated carbon filter, because hey, we don't want our girls spreading their scent to the world and scaring the neighbors. 😉 While cleaning out, it was noticed that all the plants are wonderfully healthy. Sure, here and there were a few small spots on the leaves, but that's really not dramatic. What has been noticed, though - and hold on tight - our three Gorilla Skittelz in the back of the tent have grown quite leggy. But hey, they are still holding their own! 😄 It was also quickly noticed that the ladies need a net for support, which he almost forgot, but luckily he set it up just in time and the ladies were tied up with it. Teamwork, baby! By the way, the average value is about 900 micromoles over 1.44 square meters. A little more and you could start adding CO2 and turn up the power. But you know what? Better not, that can backfire sometimes. One small problem, however, is the humidity. They are desperately trying to keep it at 55%, but in summer, that's really not an easy task indoors. So sooner or later, a dehumidifier will have to go into the tent to manage it. Do you have any experiences with that? Or can you recommend a product? Let him know! In summary, we can say that the ladies are doing really great and are in full bloom during the flowering phase. You can already clearly see what is still to come. And, folks, it’s going to be absolutely insane! He promises you that! 😎 See you next Sunday! ✋

Tuetenkleber Moin Moin, dear readers! It's great to see you back and looking forward to another entertaining update. This week has really been a tough nut for the ladies. They seem to have decided to stretch to the max. One wonders just how big they want to get, and the back Gorilla Skittelz simply responds with a cheeky "Yes." The result: Proudly standing at 1.50 meters tall! That was definitely not planned, but it shows once again that predicting the growth of these plants is impossible. So, quick solutions were needed to prevent the buds from burning. Acute renovations were required. First, the table that had brought the plants down by a good 40 centimeters was removed. The activated carbon filter also had to go and found its place on the floor so that the lamp could be set to maximum height. Visually, it may not be particularly appealing, but for now, it works this way. We'll see if further optimizations are possible. Of course, the plants weren't deterred from continuing to grow. Two days later, they were already touching the light again. But there was no more room above. So, a temporary net was stretched to push the head buds down. Finally, it seems that growth has reached its peak, so there's not too much to worry about anymore. And if there are more challenges ahead, well, we'll just take them on. We'll manage it. 😎 As if that weren't enough, the lovely weather played along too. It was quite warm in the tent, and it took some effort to maintain the maximum 26 degrees. The same went for humidity. Luckily, a dehumidifier was procured, which is now regulating everything perfectly and ensuring that the ladies are in their absolute comfort zone. BUT the most important thing: The plants are doing splendidly! They have handled everything wonderfully, and you can clearly see how much progress has already been made and what is yet to come. The water needs have significantly increased; the ladies are thirsty and ready to really get going. When opening the tent, the scent is slowly but surely becoming noticeable. There's something magical in the air! One must still emphasize how excited one is that no fertilizers are being used and everything is happening through the living soil. Just impressive! An absolute recommendation, my dears! So, we wish you all a wonderful Sunday and look forward to entertaining you again next week with new adventures from the fascinating world of our ladies. Stay cool and enjoy life! 😎😁

Tuetenkleber Well hello dear friends of the green art! A warm welcome to another entertaining update. This week was finally a quiet week (who would have thought) 😂 And with that, we are already at halftime 😍 The renovations from last week have shown success, but the ladies have shot up quite a bit. We had to carefully tie them down so they don't reach the ceiling. Hopefully, this doesn't burn any performance, but so far it looks pretty good. We lifted one of the ladies in the front row a bit so she can get better light. That has really shown great results 😉 The stigmas are very well developed on all the plants and it's getting prettier by the day 😊 The smell is slowly taking on more concrete notes, but everything in the room is great. The activated carbon filter on the floor is making a pretty good impression. This has allowed us to ease the load on the dehumidifier a bit. At least it feels that way. However, there is one small thing to complain about. The fungus gnat problem has been getting worse. So we watered for the first time with neem oil. And I’m really surprised at how well it worked. Not even two days later, the problem was almost gone. We will use it again to eliminate the rest. But then that should finally be resolved. In conclusion, we can only say: "We are looking forward to the second half of the flowering period!" Wishing you all a wonderful Sunday and see you next week 👌

Tuetenkleber Hey, hey dear friends! Great to have you back! We are at the end of flowering week 5, and I can really say that things have been going off here! The stigmas are reaching for the light, and the amount of buds being produced is beyond imagination (at least this one, haha)! Everything is full of juice. The trichomes are being produced, and it almost looks like there's snow on the plants! 😂 Slowly, the lower leaves are starting to wilt. The plant's energy is being pushed upwards. And it should be. The Runtz Muffin is already sweet with its bushy growth and compact buds. You can clearly see that this is an indica-dominant strain. The smell is very fruity, which creates some serious anticipation! 😂 The Amnesia Lemon (the little late bloomer) is really stepping up this week. If you have her too and are wondering why there wasn't much happening in the early flowering, don't worry, she's coming! You can be excited to see what happens next. However, the absolute champion in this tent is the Bubble Haze. Guys... What DutchFem has done deserves PRAISE! You surely remember (those who read it) that one of the Bubble Hazes unfortunately broke during LST and was topped. This one plant is now basically just BUD! 😂 It's going to be an absolute yield monster. Compared to her two LST sisters, she has a significantly stronger flower growth. But the two sisters of the little one are not to be underestimated either. They are growing beautifully and are also full of juice. Everyone is excited to see the final result. Now let's move to the back row, the Gorilla Zkittlez. Guys... If you want big plants, I recommend these beauties. If you remember, we really had to watch the height at some point. But they keep finding their way up. The power these plants bring is insane. They notice what's in their way, and bam, they just break through and keep going up. Now we have the situation we didn't want: plants touching the lamp. But here's the strange part. It seems they actually like it up there. There are no negative signs to be seen. No burns, no leaves curling up, no edges on the leaves, good stigma production, and flower formation. One might think they actually want that. They are not falling behind their female counterparts at all. This will, of course, continue to be monitored. But fundamentally, there's not much more we can do except wait. The stems are so thick that bending them would result in a break, and we definitely don't want that. If anyone has tips, feel free to share! But for now, everything is still looking good. Since a full picture was requested this time, we are happy to oblige. Enjoy it and see you next week! 😊

Tuetenkleber Hey, what's up, you crazy folks! Where do I even start? It's just insane what's happening in this garden! The girls are fully in bloom and have an incredible thirst. We're giving them 1.5 liters of water per pot now, but still, the pots are completely dry every morning. We've even had to double the watering times. We're now watering in the morning and evening. The plants seem to need more water than their pots can hold. It's really impressive! What's changed since the last update is just madness. The buds are getting heavier, denser, thicker, and bulkier. The net we're using is definitely proving to be useful. But honestly, we could use a second net right now. It's just unbelievable how they're growing! Anyone who read the last update might remember that the Gorilla Skizzelz were pretty close to the light and even grew beyond it in two spots. And yet, they show no negative signs at all. No burns or other issues indicating that they're not happy there. That's really impressive! We've heard the worst horror stories, but everything is going great! The Bubble Haze... What more can I say? They're practically exploding with mass! We had to open the net in a few spots this week to better support some branches. The plants are just unstoppable! That definitely deserves some praise! The Amnesia Lemon has also caught up nicely. A friend had already predicted: "It'll come later, trust me!" And that's exactly what's happening! It's really kicking in now. So, patience pays off! We're slowly approaching the end. In 14-21 days, we can finally harvest. It's going to be a great experience to share this adventure with you all. There's not much more to report this week. We're eagerly waiting for the finale. Until next week, friends! 🤚

Tuetenkleber Hello fellow green researchers! I’m happy to share that everything is going GREAT this week! It’s a new experience every day to peek into the tent. The headbuds have taken on an incredible size, so we need to support them additionally. Everything is at its maximum and yet they’re getting thicker. We can’t find any deficiencies and slowly autumn colors are appearing here and there. You know what that means - we’re approaching the end. In about 10 days (plus or minus 4 days), the golden ratio should be reached. Stay tuned and look forward to the results. Feel free to leave a like, and if you have questions, just write. See you next week!

Tuetenkleber Hey guys! Great to have you back. 😁 Week 8 is over and we're on the home stretch. The long-awaited 56 days are finally up. From now on, it's all about keeping an eye out to catch the perfect moment. I gotta tell you, it's really a challenge to show you the best photos at this scale... But honestly, have you ever seen such FAT AND THICK buds? I can't imagine this is supposed to be normal. In the last photos, we tried to show you the size. We held a 1-liter water bottle next to them to somehow illustrate the scale, and as you can see, the plants are bigger than ever... The mass of buds is slowly pushing the net to its limits... To be honest, those things have now reached the size of a forearm. No matter which plant you look at... Each one has hit its limit... It's just unbelievable. No one can believe what's going on here. 😂 Next week is going to be exciting. This week is harvest time. So the next update will be really thrilling for everyone. Finally, we can take good photos of the individual strains. So look forward to that and enjoy these beautiful monsters! Until next time, friends! 😁

Tuetenkleber Friends!!!! The time has come!!! Yesterday, the scissors were put to work and everything was hung up to dry. It was sort of a makeshift solution. Because we encountered mold... Unfortunately, that's a downside of such huge buds... But we noticed it quickly and were able to remove it. So we decided to harvest quickly before more happens. We had to cut so little that it's hardly worth mentioning. GOOD LUCK!!! But one thing needs to be said... Our eyes popped out... We've never seen anything like this ourselves, but the mass coming out is going to be gigantic... We're still not really sure how to convey the size ratios to you without the photos looking crappy because of some silly comparison objects being in them 😂 But check back in week 12... there you'll have a little comparison. How best to describe it? Forearm-sized buds... some over 50cm tall.... Diameter about 10cm.... all have grown incredibly compact and fluffy too 😍 The smells are unbelievably delicious... and you can notice, smell, and see each individual different phenotype. The first rough trimming has already been done. We only removed the fan leaves and larger leaves. Now the good stuff is hanging to dry in the tent for 10-14 days in complete darkness. Temperature is at 20 degrees and humidity is at 52%. Now we just hope to get through the drying period without any problems, and then I can present you with the finished end product. But as a little teaser, you'll get the first pictures shortly after the cut today. BUT... It won't be revealed which plant is which strain yet 😜 You can all take a guess and write me your assumptions 😁 Look forward to the next and final update.

Tuetenkleber This Amnesia Lemon is already a beauty. Up until week 5, this current MONSTER was always lagging behind and kept a bit in the background. But after that, it really took off. You can see that in the results. This one plant almost brought 100g to the scale. And with that, it's the leader of the entire grow. Above, you can see a few photos after drying.

Tuetenkleber If you're looking for a plant that has a truly impressive growth and doesn't freak out when there's too much light, then I can recommend this plant. Very fast in growth as well as in flowering. Very bushy growth and in the end, quite dense and heavy buds. Strongly resinous and extremely compact. Together, the 3 Gorilla Skittelz managed to reach 214.6 g and are the champions in terms of mass.

Tuetenkleber These two have also made it through and are not lacking compared to their colleagues. The compact and bulbous growth has noticeably increased in weight. In the end, we had 48 g per plant. The smell is already blowing us away... we're curious to see how the taste and aroma will develop further. Example photos can be seen above.

Tuetenkleber Yeah yeah, the Bubble Haze.... So, these 3 cuties here all surprised me a bit. Right away, 3 different phenotypes shot up here. Each with a different shape, color, and smell. 2 of them grew quite compact, and one of them is really bushy. All 3 ended up weighing 140g in total. But don't let that number fool you; when you see the Gorilla, we had a 150W lamp hanging in the middle, which obviously causes a significant light drop to the left and right. A more even light distribution, and the plant will shoot up in mass again. Have fun with the pictures!
