Hempcules The second week went pretty well for my plant. It looks healthy and is growing at a normal pace so far. Other than that, there’s not much to report. I’m looking forward to seeing it really take off in growth soon. PPFD: 180µmol/m²/s Water: Daily with spray bottle

Hempcules WEEK 3 My plant had a very good week. It is developing healthily and vigorously, with no issues whatsoever. At the end of the week, I topped it for the first time, leaving four shoots that I will continue to train. I removed the two lowest, first shoots entirely, as they are known to grow weaker than the subsequent ones. Overall, things are going wonderfully so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing more progress. PPFD: 250µmol/m²/s Water: Daily with spray bottle

Hempcules WEEK 4 It was another great week for my plant. It recovered well from the first topping and was topped a second time at the end of the week. I also removed some unnecessary side shoots. This week I added the first fertilizer as well. So far everything is looking really good. The plant is growing vigorously and without any issues, giving hope for an excellent result. PPFD: 350µmol/m²/s Water: 1x water, 1x nutrient solution

Hempcules WEEK 5 It turned out to be another really good week without any issues. The plant handled the second topping very well and is growing at a nice, steady pace. I’ll keep it in the vegetative phase a bit longer because I still want to repot it. This week I also fertilized again using my Plagron nutrients. Now I’m looking forward to many more great weeks like this. PPFD: 450µmol/m²/s Water: 1x water, 1x nutrient solution

Hempcules WEEK 6 Things went pretty well with my plant this week. She’s now topped to 16 mains and has been transplanted into a 25L fabric pot filled with Grow Mix. I probably should’ve repotted a bit earlier since the nutrients were starting to run low, but she handled it like a champ. I’ll let her grow for another one to two weeks before flipping her to flower, and then I’ll slowly start stretching out the SCROG net. I’m already excited for what’s coming. PPFD: 550µmol/m²/s Water: 2x water

Hempcules WEEK 7 My plant has handled the transplant pretty well and, with the help of the plant benders, has spread out nicely and evenly. After this week I’ll flip her to flower and set up the scrog net. So far she’s growing at a good pace, but she’s a bit more sensitive to nutrients than some of her sisters. During the first weeks of flowering I’ll keep a close eye on the nutrient schedule to see if I need to make any adjustments. I’m really looking forward to a great flowering phase now that I’ve trained the plant into such a nice shape. PPFD: 550µmol/m²/s Water: 1x water 1x nutrient solution

Hempcules WEEK 8 This was another good week for my plant. I switched my lights to a 12‑hour schedule, and after about 5–6 days the first pistils started to appear. I also set up my SCROG net and will be weaving the branches through it over the next few weeks to create an even canopy. I’ve already done a bit of defoliation in the lower area to improve airflow and direct the plant’s energy where it’s needed. It’s a lot of fun watching her grow right now. The leaves have a rich, deep green, and overall the plant looks perfectly healthy and is growing at an excellent pace. Truly wonderful. 🙂 PPFD: 700µmol/m²/s Water: 1x water 2x nutrient solution

Hempcules WEEK 9 The first week of flowering went wonderfully. I did a heavy defoliation and continued weaving the SCROG. I also applied Boomboom Spray once after defoliating — great stuff for easing stress situations. The buds are developing beautifully so far, and the plant is otherwise in perfect health. Everything continues to run very smoothly. PPFD: 800µmol/m²/s Water: 1x water 2x nutrient solution

Hempcules WEEK 10 The second week of flowering went very well again. I removed a lot of leaves once more and positioned some of the shoots. The plant has developed a strong appetite and is now being watered every two days, which seems to suit it well. The leaves have a rich green color without any signs of deficiency or yellow tips. Overall, it looks perfectly healthy. The flowers are slowly starting to increase in size, and it’s already clear that many strong shoots have formed. I’m very curious to see how things will progress in the coming weeks. So far, I’m impressed. PPFD: 900µmol/m²/s Water: 1x water 2x nutrient solution

Hempcules WEEK 11 ​Things are still going great with my plant. The stretch is pretty much over, and the plant is now focusing on bud production. I did another round of defoliation this week to ensure perfect light coverage and airflow. ​Additionally, I’ve started running my lights at maximum intensity as of this week. Using a PAR meter, I measured values between 900–1100 PPFD in the main canopy zones. I'm keeping my VPD consistently between 1.4 and 1.6 kPa using my controller, with a measured leaf offset of 2 degrees. ​It’s still a fantastic run, and I’m really looking forward to watching the buds fatten up! PPFD: 1000µmol/m²/s Water: 1x water 2x nutrient solution

Hempcules Week 12 Everything is still going very well here. I added Silik Rock to the nutrient schedule to prevent issues from the high temperatures. Other than that, I keep my VPD consistently between 1.4 and 1.6 kPa during the light phase. In the dark phase, I make sure to keep the RH around 60%. At this point, this grow is running perfectly, and I hope it continues like this for the last few weeks. PPFD: 1000µmol/m²/s Water: 1x water 2x nutrient solution Vpd: 1,6

Hempcules Week 13 This week my plant has really started to pack on some flower volume. A lot of trichomes have formed by now, and the buds are sticky as hell. The aroma is also becoming more and more noticeable and already feels quite intense. The high temperatures don’t bother the plant at all — it keeps growing at an incredible pace and gives me hope for an amazing harvest. I’m keeping my VPD at around 1.6 kPa at most and feeding plenty of nutrients. At the moment, I water with plain water only every third time, and that approach seems to be working extremely well. Because of the high temperatures, I’m also watering every second day. All I can say is that this continues to be a really fantastic run, and I’m focused on keeping things steady for the final weeks. I’m very, very happy with how everything is going 🙂 PPFD: 1000µmol/m²/s Water: 1x water 2x nutrient solution Vpd: 1,6kpa

Hempcules WEEK 14 Things are still progressing well here. This week, the plant has started focusing on bud volume, and that seems to be working nicely. The flowers are becoming more resinous and pleasantly dense. Even in the lower areas, almost exclusively nice, usable buds have formed. Resin production is running at full speed. You can already recognize a great terpene profile, which will continue to fully develop over the coming weeks. Temperatures have risen significantly by now, but so far this doesn’t seem to have much of an effect. I hope it stays that way so I can enjoy a few beautiful final weeks of flowering. PPFD: 1000µmol/m²/s Water: 1x water 2x nutrient solution Vpd: 1,6kpa

Hempcules WEEK 15 This week it was really hot in terms of temperatures. Unfortunately, I don’t have any economical way to cool things down, so I have to live with the high temperatures and try to handle them as best as I can. Other than that, things are running relatively problem‑free. The buds have already become very dense and resinous, which makes a good impression. Now it’s slowly entering the final stage, and I’m already really looking forward to the harvest. PPFD: 1000µmol/m²/s Water: 1x water 2x nutrient solution Vpd: 1,8Kpa

Hempcules WEEK 16 Everything went quite smoothly this week. Temperatures have dropped a bit, and the plant is looking good. The flower volume is steadily increasing, though I think it will still take about two more weeks until harvest. The trichomes are mostly still clear and milky. Other than that, I’m looking forward to a strong final. PPFD: 1000µmol/m²/s Water: 1x water 2x nutrient solution Vpd: 1,8Kpa

Hempcules WEEK 17 It’s coming to an end with this grow. I’ve already reduced the nutrients over the course of the week and I think I’ll be able to harvest soon. At the moment, a few amber-colored trichomes can already be seen. The buds have become thick and firm by now and are covered in plenty of resin. Now it’s entering the final phase, and I’m already looking forward to the harvest. PPFD: 1000µmol/m²/s Water: 2x water 1x nutrient solution Vpd: 1,8Kpa

Hempcules WEEK 18 Not much happened during the final week. Most of the trichomes turned milky, which was exactly what I was hoping for. PPFD: 1000µmol/m²/s Water: 2x plain water Vpd: 1,8Kpa
