Hi friends, I am started my 500g grow challenge. I picked for that challenge Wedding Cake and Blue Dream, in my some premium USA strains bought in Netherlands at Zamnesia. The seeds looked great after 2 days. 100% are germinated and now I picked the biggest roots and planted 5/8 already into my self made soil mix. I choose quality soil, peat soil and perlite. I added mykorriza and Agnihotra. In the next days I will plant the rest of them into my soil mix and wait until the seeds come out if the soil and show the first leafs. I will update this diary at least every week. Stay tuned for updates! Have a great week Growers!

Hi Growers, it's the 11th day after the seeds have germinated and the first leafs showed up. One of the 8 plants didn't make it. But all of the Blue dream seeds looks healthy and 2/3 of the Weeding Cakes. The two Wedding cake (right side) are 2 days ahead, but the Blue Dream plants are not far after them. There two plants that stretched a little bit to much for me but the after five look great. They are shorter and a little more bigger. I am using the Sunlight Flex 2 (10W) right now for first two weeks and then these ladies come into the growbox with that ass powerfull sunlight Evo 250W I'll keep you guys up to date. Please tell me your thoughs for these small ladies, maybe I am missing something that I can improve. So am happy if someone has more knowlegde to share. Cheers! See you in the next week

Hi Growers! It is now week 2 and the plants are growing fast. Since we have over day 30° the plants enjoy the inside temp ~ 25°. I added today some normal N nutrients together the "effective micro-organisms" (a mixture with helpful micro-organisms). I water them every 3 days now with more or less then 500ml for 7 pots these size you see above. I can see at biggest plants already the new sprouts come. In the next days I will add more pictures so you can see how these ladies are growing. In about 1-2 weeks these plants then come into the tent with our big light (sanlight evo 4). Until now they enjoy the Sanlight Flex 2. Have a great day guys. Please comment and tell me your toughs for improvement or anything else. Until then, see ya.

Hi Growers, it is now week 3 with my new plants. They look very strong and healthy. The biggest plant yet is the Wedding Cake which a supercropped. At the point I supercroped them they are much bigger. One plant I snapped and taped after, now the plant looks great again. I added 2 times some nutrients and microbs. They have a dark green color unfortunately you can't see in the pics. The plants will they one more week in these pots together with my Sunlight Flex and then I will change the pots to 5 litre pots. I will update more pics this week so you can clearly see the progress. So stay tuned. I hope you enjoy my content. Please like and share your thoughs to my 500g grow challenge. See ya

Hi friends, the plants today moved into the tent with the big sanlight. We planted them into 4l pots and topped already half of them. I removed all big leafs that the small branches will grow faster. You can see that I supercropped the main stamp, until now they are really happy with that. I think they will stay 2-3 weeks in these pots until I will pot them into the final 25l pots. Until them I will supercrop these plants regualry I am happy for any comments. What are think about cutting the big leafs from the main stamp that the smaller ones can catch up? Have a great week! See ya

Hi friends, It's the 5th week for the ladies and they growing so fast. I topped now all of the plants and started the LST and HST routine. I like that they are growing horizontal. I cut the upper bigger leafs as you see in the pictures, that the smaller branches can catch up and the size as same as possible. See you guys next week.

Hi friends, it's week 6 now. I am now full at the process of trainings these ladies. I do all HST and LST. They all look great these days and I had no issues with them. As you can see all plants have between 10-12 branches and my goal is that all have later the same thickness. The LED is still running at 80% power and the love it. See you next week

Hi friends, it is now week 7 in veg for these plants. The training shows the first results and they are growing crazy these days. I defoliated them every week heavy so that only 10-12 branches are left and all energy is going into these branches. The nutrients are as shown above and I am aiming for 600-700 ppm right now for them. I penetrated some branches a little bit to much, but all of them came back much stronger. My plan is to send them in the next 2 weeks into flower. But before I will pot them into the 25l pots where the roots can spread like crazy. I can see below at the pots already some roots but yet not enough to give them more room to grow. I will update these picture so you can see the difference. See ya

Hi friends, now at week 8 I topped the plants into the final 25l pots. Since last week supercroping the plants look still damaged, because I trained them to hard. The LST looks great and the size of the main and side branches are great. The roots look so healthy when potting them. I was overwhelmed how good they look. Unfortunately I didn't took pictures. This week the plants will get only water because they look a little bit nutrients burned too after HST. Now they will stay in Veg cycle for one more week and my plan is to switch next week to flower. So that I can make some more LST in transition periode. I hope you will follow my upadate. Enjoy your sunday! See ya

Hi friends, It is now the last week for these ladies into veg cycle. After some bad weeks the plants exploded into there final pots. If have really never saw this much growth from my plants beforehand. Now it was time for the last supercrop before the plants starts there journey into flower. On Sunday I installed the (not final) scrog net and sent them into ~ 36h darkness and then I switched to 12/12 light. My homemade soil looks like a great decision yet. I mix the plagron all mix together with more perlites, compost, coco, peat soil and bone limestone. My plan is to add two more smaller led light at the sides with 20w each in the next week. As you can see the stems are massive and I hope to see at harvest double of the size from the stamps as the roots spread all into the pots. I am happy to see your comments right below. What do you think about this plan and my procedure yet? I wish you all the best. See you in the next week

Hi Growers, it is now day 6 into flower. I installed the new scrog net and the plants look very good. Before I switched the light to 12/12 the plants stayed into dark for ~ 36 hours. The transition to flower was fast because of the darkness. Because of the scrog net the plants are very even. Only 2 branches are a little bit bigger than see other ones. I am confident that they can catch up quickly. The last thing I did was to install 2 new lamps at the sides. Each 20 Watts for blooming to get the best light intensity. See you next week

week 5 now: plants grow very good. Scrog net looks now very even and I think the small branches will catch up very soon. Some yellowish leafes at the bottom, feeding more nutriens. Re: Gave this week 2 times nutriens. Now they look much better then before. I am always overwhelmed how much the eat at this time.

Hi friends, this week the plants look really happy again. But we found out that the light was not running on full power. It was only running at 40% power. Nevertheless the plants look already very potent. The Blue Dreams are looking that they finish the at first and then the Wedding Cakes. The Srog net is still even filled. Humidity and tempertur are between 50-68% and temps are between 20-25°C. I think the plants will live 3-4 weeks more and then we will cut. I am not sure how long the problem with the LED was going on. But we wasted probalby 20-30% of yields yet. When we get 300g yield I am really happy. See you sonn

Hello growers, Now we are at the final stage of flower. The buds look already great and are dense af. These days the blue dream look a little bit ahead from the weeding cake. They smell very good and strong. And the both to strains not look much differently, what was my problem the last time growing no name strains. Now on Sunday we gave the last time nutrients and we will flush these ladies at the end of the week. Our cut date will be 15th of December as they trichomes look ready. So that's all for now. I will try to make better pictures before they are ready to harvest. But until now they look like premium buds and will be strong af. Unfortunately we dimmed the LED 2-3 weeks in full flower and didn't noticed it. So we will not get for my 500g this time. But the next run is already ready. In th next grow we have permanent maker und bisquotti. See you soon at harvest time.

Hello Growers, it is harvest time, the best time of the year. Perfect for christmas we the plants are ready for harvest and yesterday we cut them down. The Wedding Cake plants are very heavy and dense af. The Blue Dream is a little bit smaller but looks much nicer with that blue touch. Unfortunalty some head buds had bud rott so we sorted the good and the bad plants. Now the LED is offline and all buds are hanging into the growbox for drying. Temp at this time between 18°-23°C and RLF ~ 65%. It looks like the bud rott came the last two weeks because the RFL was simetimes at 70% for shorter time frames. Nevertheless we are happy that the most buds look good and the wedding cakes are very very heavy and dense. I will update the amount of harvest in around 1 week. Stay tuned guys. See you and thank you for reading. Happy Holidays!
