siLva_77 The 2 weeks of the baby phase are over and the first week of vegetation begins. The BCG and Blue Dream have shown their first deficiencies and the plants have been crying out to be repotted. The roots had already rooted through the entire 0.69 liter pot - they will love their fresh 9 liter pot!
..
The soil was moistened 4 days before repotting and enriched with BioTabs Startrex (microorganisms). When repotting, microryza was added for root growth and some BioGrow for explosive growth (not too much, just something to nibble on).
PPFD: ~ 500
VPD: ~ 0.9
28.01: The BCG still looking drippy, not so vital like the Blue Dream. It might be still the transplant Stress / Nutrient deficiency and a Little overwatering, so nothing i cant handle.
siLva_77 Today, I watered both plants and checked the drain pH, which came out at 6.1 for both. Blue Dream is thriving—super vibrant, spreading out nicely, and showing great vigor. BCG, on the other hand, has been slightly droopy since transplanting and isn’t opening up as much. I also noticed that BCG holds onto more water compared to Blue Dream, as there was significantly less runoff despite using the same amount of water.
The environment remains stable, with a VPD of 1.0. PPFD is set at 450, with the light positioned 35 cm above the canopy. So far, things are progressing well, and I’ll keep a close eye on BCG’s development over the next few days.
Topping is planned for the end of week 2, but if BCG doesn’t recover fully, I might wait until the beginning of week 3 before topping her.

Beginn der 3. Vegetationswoche. Ich habe die Ladies vor ein paar Tagen getoppt – was längst überfällig war. Eigentlich hätte ich sie bereits eine Woche früher toppen sollen. Aber sie scheinen alles gut weggesteckt zu haben und entwickeln sich prächtig. Die BCG hingegen zeigt nicht denselben Wuchsdrang wie die Blue Dream, hängt etwas hinterher und wächst nicht ganz so gleichmäßig. Nichtsdestotrotz machen sich die kleinen Ladies gut.
Zu Beginn der 3. Woche haben die Pflanzen 1 g/l Enhancer, 2 ml/l AlfaBoost und 0,3 ml/l CalMag bekommen. Gegossen wurde mit 1,25 l. Der Plan ist, den Ladies zu Beginn der 4. Woche einen Komposttee zu geben und sie dann zu Beginn der 5. Woche in 20-Liter-Stofftöpfe umzutopfen. Anschließend bekommen die Pflanzen zwei Wochen Zeit, um ihre neuen Töpfe gut durchzuwurzeln, bevor sie in die Blüte gehen!

Start of Week 3 in Vegetation.
I topped the ladies a few days ago – which was long overdue. I actually should have done it a week earlier. But they seem to have handled everything well and are thriving beautifully. The BCG, on the other hand, doesn’t have the same growth vigor as the Blue Dream, is lagging slightly behind, and isn’t developing as evenly. Nevertheless, the little ladies are coming along nicely.
At the beginning of Week 3, the plants received 1 g/l Enhancer, 2 ml/l AlfaBoost, and 0.3 ml/l CalMag. They were watered with 1.25 L. The plan is to give the ladies a compost tea at the start of Week 4 and transplant them into 20-liter fabric pots at the beginning of Week 5. After that, they’ll have two more weeks to establish their roots in the new pots before heading into flower!
🇪🇸
Inicio de la semana 3 de vegetación.
Hice el topping a las chicas hace unos días, algo que ya era más que necesario. En realidad, debería haberlo hecho una semana antes. Pero parece que lo han soportado bien y están creciendo de maravilla. La BCG, en cambio, no tiene el mismo vigor de crecimiento que la Blue Dream, va un poco rezagada y no se desarrolla de manera tan uniforme. Aun así, las pequeñas se están desenvolviendo bien.
Al comienzo de la semana 3, las plantas recibieron 1 g/l de Enhancer, 2 ml/l de AlfaBoost y 0.3 ml/l de CalMag. Fueron regadas con 1.25 L. El plan es darles un té de compost al inicio de la semana 4 y trasplantarlas a macetas de tela de 20 litros al comienzo de la semana 5. Después, tendrán dos semanas más para enraizar bien en sus nuevas macetas antes de entrar en floración.
siLva_77 Woche 4 der Vegetation
Ich war diese Woche etwas busy, daher kommt das Update mit etwas Verzögerung. Die Pflanzen wurden mit Komposttee gefüttert und leicht entlaubt, um die Luftzirkulation zu verbessern und mehr Licht an die unteren Triebe zu lassen.
Alles läuft weiterhin stabil, und die Pflanzen zeigen eine gesunde Entwicklung. Die nächste große Veränderung steht bald an: Das Umtopfen in die 19L Stofftöpfe!
🇬🇧 Week 4 of Vegetation
I was a bit busy this week, so this update is a little late. The plants were fed with compost tea and lightly defoliated to improve airflow and allow more light to reach the lower branches.
Everything is going smoothly, and the plants are developing well. The next big step is coming soon: Transplanting into the 19L fabric pots! 🚀
siLva_77 🌱 Woche 5 der Vegetation
Diese Woche war Umtopfen angesagt! Die Pflanzen haben förmlich nach mehr Platz geschrien, also hab ich sie in ihre neuen 19L Stofftöpfe verfrachtet. Der Umzug war zwar etwas stressig, aber sie haben sich super schnell erholt und gehen jetzt richtig ab! Man sieht, wie sie den neuen Platz direkt nutzen – alles wächst schön durch.
Jetzt heißt es entspannt weiterwachsen lassen und beobachten, wie sie sich weiterentwickeln. Läuft! 🚀
🌱 Week 5 of Vegetation
This week, it was transplant time! The plants were practically begging for more space, so I moved them into their new 19L fabric pots. The whole process was a bit stressful, but they bounced back super fast and are now growing like crazy! You can really see how they’re loving the extra room.
Now it’s all about letting them do their thing and watching them take off. Looking good! 🚀.
siLva_77 End of Flower Week 2. - the Ladies went trough an extreme Stretch especially the BCG. The internode Space US Quitte high on the BCG and pretty Sweet on the BD.
VPD 1.2 - DLI 45
siLva_77 End of Flower week 3. Heavy Defoliate and leaving them Girls for a week and a half Vacation. Lets Hope the best my Friends keep an good eye on the ladies
siLva_77 End of Week Flower Week 6.
The Ladies doing great installed an AC Unit to keep the Temps regulated.
Switched from 1040ppfd (45DLI) to 975 ppfd, (42DLI) slowly descreasing the intesity and the temperature.
This Pheno of Blue Dream looks like a super fast one and a frosty one too, exciting.
The Black Cherry Gushers, takes a little more Time, but seems legit with 70 Days Flower.
Wednesday was experementing with the PK Booster 5-8 from BioTabs, for thie run a Little Bit too Late, might be a good booster for next run!
siLva_77 Beginning with with the ripening phase.
Day Temp - 23.5 / Night Time 20 C.
VPD ~ 1.4kPA
DLI ~ 39
PPFD ~ 910
Slowly decreasing the ppfd and the temperature slightly towards the finish to keep the terps alive.
The Pistils of the bcg finally turning orange and showing some ripeness - like the Blue Dream die ages ago.
The Blue Dream will be harvest ready much sooner than the BCG. Will harvest them booth at the same Day tho.
siLva_77 End of Flower Week 8 - Day 56!
The Terps are going Crazy the Blue Dream smells extremely herbal and the Black Cherry Gushers has insane fruity terpenes!
Both are Sticky like mouse traps, the bcg more than the bd.
Changing temps on constant 23 C* / 19 C*
DLI ~ 36
PPFD ~ 845
Having a quick look on the trichomes on end of week 9.

Pushing the ladies to the edge and conserving the terps!
The smell is awesome, cant wait any longer! Chopping them down probably in about 2 Weeks
siLva_77 Yeeesss siiiir, end of Week 10 (Flower). Its official over, but the Trichomes are telling another Story !
Checked the trichomes on wednesday, its like 60% Cloudy 37% Clear and just around 3% Amber. I will give them ladies around 1 Week, 1 1/2 Week more, then Chop them up around May 29. / 30.
She's a hard plant to grow this one. I'm having the exact same issues as yourself. All my plants are perfect. Just this pheno. Mep. Like it struggles random days.
@gottagrowsometime, Duuude, I totally thought I was doing something wrong! 😅 I just can’t figure out what she needs. But hey, at least I’m not fighting this battle alone!
BCG turned out with some big buds and nice colors. I've got some seeds sitting in the fridge and looking forward to growing it myself. Did you figure out what was this plant's struggle?
@Kenn0rphan, Thanks man, appreciate the words!
Yeah, the BCG definitely finished strong – big buds, nice fade, and really sticky. But honestly, she was kind of a diva from the start.
While my Blue Dream was super happy right out the gate, the BCG always looked like she had something to complain about. She was kinda droopy, not really vibing – even though I had temps, VPD, and humidity all dialed in. No real deficiency signs, no major stressors… she just looked off.
I couldn’t fully decode it, but I’d say she’s one of those more demanding types – not a plug-and-play strain.
Once she hit flower though, she started behaving - Crazy stretch (!!!).
Still slow to build, lots of white pistils late into bloom, but eventually she thickened up and delivered that classic Backpackboyz density and terps. She just needed more patience than expected – probably a full 11-week girl.
So yeah, if you grow her: give her time, keep conditions steady, and don’t freak out too early. She’s moody, but totally worth the wait
Für die Vegetation: 2 „Schaufeln“ Wurmhummus, 1 Teelöffel Kelp, 1 Teelöffel Alfalfa, und 1 Esslöffel Melasse :) das ganze 24h/48h Stunden bei ~ 22C ziehen lassen - fertig
In der Blüte tuh ich gerne noch Guano mit rein und etwas mehr Melasse und lasse das ganze 72h ziehen.
24/48h - Pilzkulturen aktiv = Wachstum
72h Bakterien/Mikroben aktiv = Zucker/Früchte
