DE_BW Slow but consistent progress so far, likely limited by lower night temps. The first true leaves are coming in nicely and overall health looks good.

DE_BW Week 2 completed. Growth is slow but steady, and the plant continues to develop in a healthy and controlled way.

DE_BW This week marks a clear turnaround. The plant was FIMed on day 15 and recovered very well from the stress. Growth resumed quickly and consistently, with no signs of stagnation. Side branch development is now clearly visible and progressing day by day. The FIM cut worked as intended: multiple side shoots are pushing, and the apex is regenerating nicely. Overall structure is already starting to spread horizontally, which is exactly the goal at this stage. Leaf color has stabilized to a healthy green, leaves are praying again, and general vigor is back. Internode spacing remains tight, indicating good light intensity and strong growth. Feeding was gradually increased toward the end of the week to support the rising nutrient demand. Overall, the plant is fully back on track, healthy, and responding very well to training. A strong vegetative phase is clearly underway.

DE_BW LST and the first defoliation were started, and the plant responded extremely well. Branching is excellent with strong lateral growth and a very compact, well-structured canopy. The plant has now clearly shown its sex and looks healthy, vigorous, and full of potential going into the next phase.

DE_BW The plant is entering pre-flower with the stretch clearly underway, canopy now lifted well above the pot rim and structure fully set. Training is complete; from here on I’m only lightly defoliating to maintain light penetration and an even canopy. She’s compact but extremely well-branched and symmetrical, looking very promising for a productive bloom phase.

DE_BW Day 37 marks the official start of flowering, with strong stretch, healthy pistil formation, and a fully stabilized canopy after completing all LST work. Feeding is set at 2-2-2.5 (Micro/Grow/Bloom), no additives yet, and root pressure looks excellent with visible post-watering guttation and vigorous growth. Environment is stable at 23.5°C and 50% RH, main light runs at 100% from 80 cm to allow stretch before lowering both lamps for full flowering intensity next week.

DE_BW Week 7: She is staying compact but stacking nicely, with all bud sites now clearly exposed after a light inner defoliation. Stretch has been moderate, so I’m focusing on maximizing canopy efficiency and light penetration rather than height. Lights are being lowered gradually while monitoring for stress, and overall she looks healthy and dialed in.

DE_BW The plant has finished stretching and is now fully focused on flower production. Bud sites are stacking nicely across the entire canopy, with strong lateral branching and good light penetration thanks to earlier training. The structure remains compact at around 37 cm, but the number of bud sites suggests strong yield potential. Nutrients were adjusted to a bloom-focused mix (1.5 Micro / 1 Grow / 3.5 Bloom), and the plant is responding well with healthy color and increasing resin production.

DE_BW Week 4 of flowering shows strong structural development with many evenly distributed bud sites and the first signs of stacking. The canopy opened up well after selective defoliation, allowing light to reach the second layer, while resin production and bud formation continue to accelerate.

DE_BW Flower Week 5: The plant is stacking hard now, with buds forming dense clusters all across the canopy and frost production going through the roof. Bud development looks insane at this point, I’ll switch to Overdrive next feeding and expect harvest in around 14 days.

DE_BW This week marks the transition into the final phase of the plant’s lifecycle. I’ve officially switched to Overdrive, and the effect is already clearly visible — the buds are noticeably swelling and gaining density across the entire canopy. The stacking over the past days has been impressive, but now it’s shifting into pure bulk production. Calyxes are expanding, and the flowers are tightening up, especially on the top colas. Trichome coverage remains extremely high, with a thick, uniform frost layer from top to bottom — even the inner sections are heavily coated. Pistil development has progressed rapidly, with a significant portion now turned orange/brown, signaling that the plant is entering its final maturation stage. Despite that, there is still enough active growth to justify this last push with Overdrive. The structure remains compact and very controlled, which results in a dense canopy. While this limits some lower bud development slightly, the overall quality is consistently high throughout the plant. From this point on, it’s all about finishing strong. Estimated time to harvest is approximately 5 days, followed by the final flush phase. The plant is clearly approaching peak maturity — the finish line is now in sight.

DE_BW The plant showed clear signs of maturity, with slowed growth and stabilized bud structure. A strong, complex aroma developed, combining sweet and slightly sour notes that filled the space. No further swelling was expected, as the plant fully shifted into its final ripening phase.
