Hempcules Week 1
The first week of my plant went smoothly and without any problems. I first soaked the seed in water for 24 hours and then placed it between moist paper towels until it germinated. That happened very quickly — in under 48 hours. After that, things continued nicely. The plant developed its first pair of leaves and didn’t stretch upwards. For now, it’s focusing on developing a strong root system.
I planted my seedling in a 15L fabric pot filled with a mix of Plagron Growmix and Plagron Lightmix in a 70/30 ratio. I keep my VPD at around 0.6 kPa and have only watered using a spray bottle.

Hempcules Week 2
So far, things are going really well with my plant. It seems to have rooted nicely and is slowly starting to take off with its growth. There haven’t been any problems at all up to this point. I’ve only watered with plain water from a spray bottle whenever the soil became slightly dry. I gradually increased my lamp intensity to 150 PPFD, and this week I kept my VPD around 0.8 kPa.
Right now everything looks great for building a solid foundation for healthy vegetative growth. Over the next few weeks, I’m definitely planning at least one topping and some additional training. I’m already excited to see how well this genetic line handles it.

Hempcules WEEK 3
Everything continued to go very well this week, and the plant has gained a lot of volume and strength. The leaves look very healthy, and overall everything seems to be in good shape. Next week the training will begin. I’ve increased the light and VPD accordingly this week. I’m excited to see how things will progress from here.

Hempcules WEEK 4
This week a lot of progress has been made. At the beginning of the week, I topped the plant in a way that left 10 side shoots. This has paid off very well with automatics in the past, giving them a nice shape. This plant also seems to have handled it extremely well over the course of the week. To reduce the shock for the plant, I applied boomboom spray after topping.
Other than that, she’s in excellent health and there’s nothing to complain about. She’s growing fast and strong, just as she should.

Hempcules WEEK 5
This last week of vegetation went wonderfully for my Fume Pop. It responded perfectly to topping and developed a very balanced canopy. Over the course of the week, I already trimmed and defoliated the lower parts a bit to keep the focus on the strong shoots.
By the end of the week, I was also able to spot the first pistils.
I’m now looking forward to the flowering phase and hope everything continues to go as well as it has so far.

Hempcules WEEK 6
The first week of flowering went fantastic. The plant really took off and doubled in size. I removed a few shoots and leaves at the bottom, but other than that it’s growing like something out of a picture book.
Starting the nutrients early seems to have been a good choice here. The stem looks solid, and overall there’s nothing to complain about so far. I hope things continue to go just as successfully and stress‑free as they have been — if so, this will be a great run.

Hempcules WEEK 7
This week went pretty badly. The plant produced a lot of hermaphrodite growth, and I even considered cutting it down completely. In the end, I only removed all the pollen sacs and cut out that entire area. I hope the damage isn’t too severe.
Other than that, the plant seems to be doing very well. It has grown enormously during the stretch. Now I’m hoping to still get a few decent buds.

Hempcules WEEK 8
This week I had to remove a few pollen sacs again, but I caught them in time. For now, it has stopped producing that crap. I hope it stays that way.
Otherwise, it’s looking fairly decent. The shoots will definitely need support in the future, as they’re rather thin and very long. This strain is not exactly ideal for small grow spaces. I’m already beyond my limit here, since I didn’t expect such a big stretch.
Unfortunately, the motivation has dropped a bit because of the high number of male pollen sacs, but I still hope something good will come out of it. If not, I’ll just make Ice-o-lator out of it.
