AstrasGrow Within 36 hours, they have stretched their heads out
In just 36 hours, the first seeds have pushed their heads out of the medium. There are already noticeable differences between the three seedlings in the propagation tray:
• Left: A small but sturdy-looking seedling that is just beginning to open.
• Top right: This seedling is a bit longer and appears vigorous. It probably searched for light a bit more (slight stretching).
• Bottom right: The strongest of the three – with nicely opened cotyledons and a compact, healthy growth.
The pellets are well-moistened, with no signs of overwatering. The humidity seems ideal, as there are no dry edges or mold visible.
Conclusion: The grow is off to a strong start! Each plant shows vitality, and the germination rate is very good.

AstrasGrow They are getting bigger and have rooted.
The babies have successfully moved into their larger fabric pots and have started to settle in. You can clearly see that all three plants have already rooted and are slowly beginning to gain height and leaf mass.
The conditions in the tent seem stable:
• 18 hours of light – perfect for the start of veg
• 23 °C – optimal temperature range
• 65% humidity – ideal for young plant tissue
• No smell – absolutely normal at this early stage
The seedlings look healthy:
• The leaves have a fresh, vibrant green
• No signs of stress, burns, or overwatering
• The stance is stable, not overly stretched
• The substrate looks airy and well-drained
Now begins the phase where they develop their root systems and form the first true leaf pairs. In the next few days, you should already see significantly faster growth.

AstrasGrow Week 2 is going absolutely perfectly. The plants look vibrant, harmonious, and ready for the next growth spurt. If this keeps up, it's going to be a really beautiful, strong round 🌱✨
• The leaves have a rich, healthy green – no discolorations, no deficiency symptoms.
• The growth is nicely symmetrical and compact, a sign that the light is optimally set.
• The stem looks stable and slightly reinforced for this stage – perfect for the coming weeks.
• The substrate is loose, well-aerated, and shows no signs of overwatering.
I love WizzysGarden as soil.. Living Soil is my absolute favorite.

AstrasGrow In week 3, the Forbidden B. shows very strong, healthy growth. The leaf color is a rich green, the leaf structure is broad and vibrant – a clear indication that it is perfectly adapting to the current conditions.
This week, some training measures were taken to make the growth bushier and more efficient:
✂️ FIM technique performed
The tip was cleanly fimmed to encourage multiple new main shoots. You can already see how the plant begins to form fresh buds at the cut points – a perfect start for a wide canopy.
🍃 Lower leaves removed
The older lower leaves were removed to create more air circulation and light in the inner area. This supports the growth of the upper levels and prevents stagnation in the lower area.
🌞 Sun sails placed under new shoots
The large fan leaves were positioned to ensure the new shoots receive optimal light without stressing the plant or unnecessarily defoliating it. A gentle but extremely effective step for better light distribution.

AstrasGrow Week 4 begins
• The new shoots in the center are developing very vigorously, a clear success of the FIM training from week 3.
• The plant is now growing wide and bushy, ideal for an even canopy.
• The leaves are large, close together, and deep green – a sign of optimal nutrient uptake.
• No signs of deficiency or stress. The leaf veins are cleanly defined, and the structure is compact.
• The high leaf density shows that the plant is extremely vigorous and ready for the next growth phase.
In week 4, a preventive measure against fungus gnats and other soil-dwelling pests was also taken. Culinex Tab plus was used for this – a biological agent based on Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis.

AstrasGrow Last week before flowering 🌸
The plants have nearly reached their full size for the vegetative phase and are showing dense, vigorous growth. The entire crown area is evenly filled, the side branches are well developed, and the structure is ideally prepared for the upcoming stretch in the flowering phase.
• Very bushy and vigorous growth:
The plants have built a strong, densely branched framework. Perfect for many later flower sites.
• Healthy leaf color:
Rich, uniform green – a sign that nutrients and environment are optimally balanced.
• Even height:
All plants are at a similar level, which will later ensure a nice, even flower canopy.
• Strong side branches:
Thanks to Fimming, sun sail management, and your care, many potential colas have developed.
• Stable structure:
The stems appear thick and sturdy – ideal for carrying the additional weight during flowering.

AstrasGrow This week, the plants officially entered the flowering phase. The structure is well-developed, the growth is even, and all the girls look vibrant. To support the soil biology, they received sugar again to keep the microorganisms active and ensure nutrients are optimally unlocked. Additionally, there was a first light application of flowering fertilizer from Wizzysgarten to promote the start of pre-flowering.
The ScrOG net has been set up, and the shoots are now sorted and woven in daily to create a flat, evenly lit surface. The plants show healthy, rich green, strong side shoots, and are slowly starting to develop the first pre-flowers.
Focus for the coming week: control stretch, continue filling the net, maintain stable climate, and gradually adjust nutrition to flowering.

AstrasGrow The ladies have officially entered pre-flowering. So far, there have been no pest problems, but from this stage on, it's safety first for me – because during the flowering phase, only natural methods will be used.
That's why I'm relying on biological helpers to escort any unwanted guests right back out the door – or into their stomachs.
To support them, I've used the Plant Whisperer Booster from WizzysGarten to give the ladies an extra energy boost so they can develop strong and aromatic buds.
Additionally, I've defoliated again and lightly lollypopped to optimally direct light and air.
The first signs of buds are already showing – it's starting! ✨🌸

AstrasGrow Flowering Week 3 – Focus on Light & Energy
Here we are in the 3rd week of flowering – it's time to let them grow and provide targeted support. The plants are developing robustly and are being optimally cared for.
To promote flower formation, moderate defoliation is done every two days. Specifically, leaves that shade the flower clusters or obstruct airflow are removed. Additionally, a large portion of the lower leaf growth on the stem has been removed to allow more light to penetrate deeper into the plants and direct energy upwards into the flowers.
Weedtamine from WizzysGarten was used for support – a valuable booster for vitality and metabolism during this intense phase.
Furthermore, more aggressive defoliation was done, and the plants were freed from the net to gain better access and keep an optimal eye on each flower. The result: more visibility, better ventilation, and ideal light distribution.
The plants are responding very well – flowering power on 🌿🔥

AstrasGrow Aside from regular watering and the targeted removal of individual leaves, I'm currently letting the plants grow in peace and develop naturally. The focus is on healthy growth and stable development. During every second watering, the plants receive honey water, while the other watering sessions are done exclusively with clear water.

AstrasGrow Right now, I'm consciously opting for restraint. Less interference, more trust in the natural growth process. By alternating watering with honey water, I support the soil life and promote healthy nutrient uptake without overwhelming the plants. The goal is stable, balanced growth, where the plants can develop optimally at their own pace.

AstrasGrow I removed the big sun sails from the ladies so that more light and air can reach the buds directly. Additionally, I gave them a dose of PK Boost as a final push for the end phase. In the penultimate week, they only get clear water. Every two days, I check the trichomes to not miss the perfect harvest time.

AstrasGrow 16.01. – Flowering Week 9 Complete
We have now reached the absolute final stretch. Today marks exactly 9 weeks of flowering, and you can clearly tell: the plants have entered the final ripening process. The buds are fully formed, nice and compact, and completely covered with a thick layer of resin – really frosty and ripe.
They were watered one last time, and from now on, watering will be completely stopped. In the last week, she also hasn’t received any water to slowly transition into finish mode and ripen properly.
During the trichome check, it shows a really nice picture:
The trichomes are mostly milky, and there are already about 20% amber ones. This definitely means the harvest window has been reached – the potency is fully there, and the ripeness is developing exactly in the direction I want.
Starting today, I will put the plant in complete darkness for 48 hours to give it one last rest before the finale. After that, it’s harvest time.
Conclusion: Week 9 was the perfect finish week – now it’s just about final ripeness, dark phase, and then it’s time. ✂️🔥
AstrasGrow Today was the day: The grow is officially over and the lady has been chopped. The branches were prepared right away and properly hung up to dry. The buds look very well developed, well-structured, and ripe – a really fitting conclusion after the whole journey.
🌬️ Drying has started
The harvest is now hanging in the tent/setup and is moving on to the next phase: Slow Dry → Save Aroma → Preserve Terpenes 🌿✨
Week 13 Flowering Forbidden Blueprint x3! Purple City Genetics looking fire. 40cm height with normal smell. That trichome coverage is insane! SANlight EVO doing work!
