Week 5: This week was all about battling bugs, adjusting fans endlessly, making bug traps, blood and sweat, and of course the dreaded humidity. I found a few mosquitos and Aphids munching on my girl. Unfortunately mosquitos are a “resident” of the area I live too so had to set a few bug traps. Also ordered some cool equipment and organic insecticide to get her feeling right as rain again, really looking forward to our next week. Topped her and have already starting doing some LST to spread the branches and get more light onto new growth, from which is doing very well. Scary experience as I was afraid of hurting her, tore a leaf here or there but no harm done. Once again the great genetics from Humboldt seed organization and Quality Just Cannabis soil kept her stable and she pulled through! Sipping more water this week a little more than 5L water. Still battling humidity with the fluctuating weather but that should be sorted in the next few days... until next week ✌️

Then we start flowering. 💚

I chopped most of her last week and she's dry and In jars right now. I let the bottoms go another week to mature and they actually turned out way better than I expected. I haven't weighed up the final amount yet, but she gave me four 32 oz jars and I hadn't even harvested all of her yet. For reference, most plants I get 1 or 2 jars. Each jar is about 2-3 ounces each. So I probably pulled at minimum a half on off of one plant in the earthbox. I want to keep this plant around so I have trimmed her down and switched the lights to 18/6 now. Time to reveg!

DE: In der achten Blütewoche erreicht Last Dance ein Stadium, das kaum noch in Worte zu fassen ist. Die Pflanzen wirken wie komplett überzogen von Kristallen, die Farben brechen durch, und die Terpene explodieren in einer Komplexität, die man nur bei echten High-End-Genetiken erlebt. Alles an diesen Pflanzen schreit: Finale – Premium – Elite. Phänotyp 1 – Der dunkle Funkgott Der Black-Magic-lastige Phäno läuft jetzt auf absolutem Endlevel. Die Sugar Leaves sind so dicht gefrostet, dass sie fast weiß erscheinen, während zwischen den Kelchen tiefe, dunkle Violett- und Schwarzgrün-Töne hervorkommen. Diese Farbkontraste wirken wie perfekt abgestimmt – als hätte die Genetik genau für diesen Moment designed worden. Die Buds sind jetzt maximal geschwollen: Die Kelche drücken sich übereinander, die Harzdrüsen stehen wie kleine Diamanten hervor, und die gesamte Textur wirkt dick, kompakt und schwer. Aromaentwicklung in Woche 8: Die Gassigkeit ist noch tiefer geworden, bekommt aber jetzt eine warme, dunkle Süße dazu. Noten von fermentierter Beere, altem Hash, tiefem Wald und schwerem Funk verschmelzen zu einem Terpenprofil, das wirklich nur Top-Tier-Phenos erreichen. Beim Anfassen bleiben dicke ölige Harzspuren an den Fingern – klassisches Zeichen für extrem hohe Harzproduktion und Potenz. Phänotyp 2 – Der saftige Zangria-Phantom Der fruchtigere Phäno blüht in Woche 8 optisch komplett auf. Die Pink- und Lilatöne sind jetzt viel deutlicher geworden und ziehen sich teilweise sogar in die Kelche hinein. Der Frost-Level ist so hoch, dass die Buds wirken, als wären sie von einer dünnen Glas-Schicht überzogen. Aroma in Woche 8: Das Terpenprofil ist inzwischen eine Symphonie aus: dunkler Traube, süßer Rotwein-Note, tropischen Früchten, frischer Kirsche und einer leichten Zitruswürze im Nachklang. Es ist nicht mehr „fruchtig“ – es ist komplex, schwer, dicht und riecht wie ein komplett eigener Signature-Terpenmix, der selten in dieser Form vorkommt. Beim Öffnen des Zelts mischt sich dieses Zangria-Bouquet mit dem dunklen Funk des ersten Phenos – ein absolut einzigartiges Erlebnis. Gesamteindruck Woche 8 – Der Höhepunkt vor dem Finale Jetzt in dieser Phase ist die Pflanze auf ihrem Zenit: - Buds komplett geschwollen - Farben brechen maximal durch - Trichome glasig-milchig, erste Amber-Punkte sichtbar - Aroma extrem komplex und deutlich intensiver - Harzanteil auf beeindruckendem Niveau – selbst Stängel sind sticky Die Pflanzen sehen aus wie Showcase-Material für eine Breeder-Website. Blick auf Woche 9 – Der perfekte Zeitpunkt zum Spülen In der kommenden 9. Blütewoche beginnt das Final Flush. EN: Week 8 – The Last Dance Showcase Phase By the eighth week of flowering, Last Dance enters a stage that’s almost impossible to capture with words. The plants look fully crystallized, the colors break through aggressively, and the terpene expression becomes so layered and complex that it feels like a signature masterpiece of high-end genetics. Everything about these plants says: Final stretch – premium – elite cut potential. Pheno 1 – The Dark Funk Titan This Black-Magic-leaning phenotype is now performing at absolute top-tier level. The sugar leaves are so heavily frosted they appear nearly white, while deep violet and dark forest-green tones push through the calyxes. The contrast is insane – almost cinematic – as if the strain was bred exactly for this late-flower moment. The buds are now at maximum swell: Calyxes stack aggressively, trichomes stand tall and dense like crystals, the entire flower mass looks heavy, tight, and fully matured. Aroma development in Week 8: The gassy core has become darker and richer, now wrapped in warm, heavy sweetness. Notes of fermented berry, old-school hashish, deep forest funk, and that unmistakable dark Black Magic spiciness fuse together into a terpene profile only elite phenos deliver. Touching the buds leaves thick, oily resin streaks on your fingers — a classic indicator of extremely high potency and mature resin glands. Pheno 2 – The Juicy Zangria Phantom The fruit-forward phenotype hits full visual bloom in Week 8. Pink and purple hues become more pronounced, bleeding slightly into the calyx tips. The frost level is so extreme the buds look like they’re coated in a thin sheet of glass. Aroma in Week 8: This terpene profile is now a full symphony of: dark grape, sweet red wine, tropical berry, fresh cherry, and a citrusy sparkle in the finish. It’s not “fruity” anymore — it’s deep, layered, complex, and genuinely rare in its structure. When you open the tent, the Zangria bouquet blends with the dark funk of Pheno 1, creating an aroma that feels completely unique and unmistakable. Overall Impression Week 8 – The Peak Before the Finale At this stage, the plant is on its absolute zenith: - Buds fully swollen - Colors breaking through in maximum intensity - Trichomes milky with scattered amber - Aroma dramatically intensified and highly complex - Resin production at showcase level — even stems feel sticky The flowers look like something straight from a breeder’s promotional photoshoot. Looking Ahead to Week 9 – The Final Flush In the upcoming 9th week, you begin the final flush. This stage ensures: a clean fade of excess nutrients, boosted terpene purity and clarity, smooth, clean-burning ash, and the highest possible quality for your final product. During the flush week, colors often deepen even further, buds harden up, and the aroma becomes sharper, more defined, and unmistakably finished.

Start of week 3. Feeding a little more consistently. 1gal of the above every 3 days.

Blütewoche 10: Die letzten Tage Zeitraum: 24.07. bis 28.07. Blütetag: 63 bis 67 Nach rund 9,5 Wochen Blüte war es so weit, Erntezeit! Die Trichome hatten genau das Verhältnis erreicht, das ich mir gewünscht hatte. Ich hab mir meine Japansäge geschnappt und die King Juice kurzerhand am Stamm durchtrennt. Danach hab ich sie vorsichtig samt ScrOG-Netz aus dem Zelt gehoben und sie mitten im Wohnzimmer platziert. Erst da wurde mir das ganze Ausmaß bewusst. Eine richtig große Pflanze, viele Triebe und eine Menge schöner, harziger Buds. Die Headbuds oben waren kompakt und groß, weiter unten gab’s viele kleinere Popcornbuds aber auch die waren fest und klebrig. Nach rund 4 Stunden Trimmen hing das ScrOG-Netz wieder im Zelt, dieses Mal verkehrtherum und vollgepackt mit den einzelnen Ästen. Ein regelrechter Himmel aus Buds 😍 Die Trocknung lief optimal, Temperaturen lagen konstant bei 20–21 °C und die Luftfeuchtigkeit zwischen 54–65 %. Nach 10 Tagen habe ich die Buds am 07.08. final abgenommen. Optik: Kompakte, daumengroße Buds, viele kleine Harzbomben mit lila Farbtönen Geruch & Geschmack: Fruchtig, süß, würzig, pfeffrig. Wirkung: Sie knallt gut, ist aber trotzdem klar im Kopf. Sehr angenehm! Fazit: Ich bin mega zufrieden mit dem gesamten Grow. Keine Ausfälle, kaum Mängel, Temperaturen und LF meistens stabil und das Beet hat wirklich gut funktioniert. Die Pflanze hat sich wunderbar an ScrOG angepasst, und ich konnte mir damit echt einen kleinen Traum erfüllen. Eine Pflanze komplett durchziehen, schön ausgebreitet im Zelt. genau so hab ich mir das vorgestellt. Es hat richtig viel Spaß gemacht! 😊 Die Vorbereitungen für den nächsten Run laufen bereits, das Beet wird wieder frisch begrünt und ich freu mich auf den nächsten Grow!!! Nachträgliches Update nach 10 Monaten: Die King Juice wurde am 28.07.2025 geerntet und anschließend über 10 Tage langsam im Zelt getrocknet. Bereits während der Trocknung entwickelte sich ein extrem intensiver Geruch mit süßen, fruchtigen und leicht cremigen Noten. Nach dem anschließenden Curing zeigte die Sorte ein sehr rundes und starkes Gesamtprofil. Eine spätere Messung mit dem Purpl Pro erreichte das Sample starke 26 % THC bei einer Restfeuchtigkeit von 8,9 % und einer Wasseraktivität von 0,4 AW. Über die Monate hinweg haben sich Geruch und Geschmack zwar etwas abgeschwächt, sind aber weiterhin deutlich vorhanden und sehr angenehm. Die ursprüngliche extreme Intensität ist etwas zurückgegangen, dafür wirkt das Aroma heute reifer, weicher und harmonischer. Geschmacklich bleibt die Sorte süß, leicht fruchtig und sehr smooth. Das Rauchgefühl ist mittlerweile außergewöhnlich angenehm geworden – fast so, als würde man eine warme Wolke inhalieren. Sehr weich, gar nicht kratzig und insgesamt extrem entspannt zu rauchen. Die Wirkung ist dagegen bis heute unverändert stark geblieben. King Juice liefert einen intensiven, langanhaltenden Effekt mit deutlicher körperlicher Entspannung und gleichzeitig starker mentaler Wirkung. Insgesamt hat sich die Sorte auch nach langer Lagerzeit hervorragend gehalten und zählt definitiv zu den stärkeren und qualitativ hochwertigeren Ernten meiner bisherigen Grows. 😋

Black Cherry Gushers - Barney's Farm x Backpack Boyz Day 80 - Watered with 3 litres of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. She has stopped stretching and is now focusing on developing her flower, and her smell is starting to shine; sweet floral. She has a a nice structure, but she is a little bushy as the top, which will reduce the light penetration just below the canopy, so I have added under canopy lighting to supplement this. Notes: - She has been moved into the 3x3 on a 12 hour light schedule, to give her more space. - I have added under canopy lights to help increase the PPFD at the lower bud sites.

Servus Moin! Die Deep Jealousy Auto macht richtig schöne Knollen dran! Hoffentlich werden sie noch ein wenig größer!

Yet another fun and eventful week! I did some final defiliation and LST before I flip them next week. I'd love to repot these into 3 gallon pots and veg longer, but I just don't have the space. I should get a good yield anyway. They grew well this week, and filled out nicely. I'm loving the way most of these are developing. The topping worked well and my canopy is looking good on these. I didn't have any problems this week. Everything went well, and I had a great time!

07/09/2019 Start of week 6 flower topped off the reservoir two days ago with 4 liters of nutes so will do reservoir change in a couple of days thanks to Advanced Nutrients technology i don't have to rush to get it done. The buds are getting heavy and super dense,stems are leaning from the weight. (Get a fan for future grow). Did light defoiliating as needed,and leaves are sticky as hell I could make finger hash if I had more plants I've used gloves and freeze them after trimming and peeled off the resin. Very flavorful!

🍇 BlueBerry #1 & #2 — Week 7 Flower From Roots to Resilience Hello beautiful souls, welcome back to our BlueBerry adventure — and a warm hello to anyone just joining us! Let’s do a little recap before diving into the magic. From seed to soil, our girls were lovingly nurtured in Aptus Holland super soil, guided by biological balance and living nutrients. Through every stage — from seedling to lush vegetation, from first pre-flower pistils to dense, frosty colas — these BlueBerries have been nothing short of spectacular. Last week brought a challenge: Bud rot found its way into one of our beauties. But quick action, gentle hands, and a bit of intuition made all the difference. We removed the affected areas, adjusted airflow, and kept a close eye. This week, we’re happy to say no new signs of rot — just thriving flowers and crystal-coated buds glowing under the light. 🌞 Environmental Notes It’s been hot, really hot — outdoor temps reaching 45°C (around 110°F). To manage, we’re running the grow during night cycles, where we can keep the environment steadier. Even with heat challenges, the girls are handling it like queens — strong stems, thick stalks, and buds forming beautifully from top to bottom. 🌿 Feeding & Support Our current recipe remains the Aptus + Plagron combo: • Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost • Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal & Green Sensation Together, they’re forming the symphony of this bloom — supporting cell structure, enhancing terpene expression, and encouraging thick resin development. One of the top buds was removed this week — not out of sadness, but as a precaution and an act of love. It was massive, too dense, and could’ve invited humidity trouble again. We took the chance to document it with photos, showing both the beauty and the lesson. 🌸 Reflections This grow has become a story of evolution — from the first transplant to the first flower, from trial to triumph. The inner canopy lights (ICL300) continue to shine beautifully, ensuring every level of the canopy is well-fed with photons. The plants are stacking heavy, leaning on the yo-yos for support, like true heavyweights in the ring. 💬 A Note of Gratitude A huge thank-you to Zamnesia for keeping the classics alive and to everyone following this journey — readers, growers, dreamers, haters, lovers, and the endlessly curious.

Es wird immer mehr frosty😋

📆 Semana 9: La Candy Bubatz XL avanza firme hacia la culminación de su floración. Los cogollos continúan aumentando en tamaño y densidad, mientras la resina se intensifica, cubriendo las flores con un brillo denso y pegajoso. Los pistilos presentan un cambio de color más pronunciado, con tonalidades anaranjadas y marrones que indican la madurez progresiva. Los tricomas muestran un predominio de tonos lechosos con algunos ámbar, señalando que el punto óptimo para la cosecha está cada vez más cerca. La planta sigue sana, sin signos de estrés, y responde bien al plan nutricional adaptado. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Nov. 13 - Week 6 begins. Nov. 17 - It continues to do better than I had thought it would, but this morning it was wilting 😬 I can't keep letting that happen.

First grow since 2020, with around 250 grams for an outdoor which has kept me going as I'm not a big smoker. No option for outdoor this year so with summer coming to an end indoor it will be in my tin garden shed. Bit of a heat wave this week but likely to cool down by the time I plant. Then just hoping the weather gods are nice for the next 4 months. Not too hot. Not too cold...just right🙄 Soaked seeds last night and now in paper towels. Planning on 5 plants anyhow, will veg for 4 weeks and flower for 9 to 10 or whenever ready. Hoping to harvest early winter before it gets really cold. Coco coir perlite mix this time and using the whole Mills range. Should be fun anyhow. Not expecting the same rewards of my last outdoor, but anything over 100 grams I'll be happy with. Anyhow, as far as germination goes I have 5 seeds to play with. In a glass of water for 8 hours, then paper towel in a zip lock bag in a warm location, including my pocket and next to me sleeping. Within 24 hours 3 of the 5 had germinated. I have doubts that 1 of the 2 remaining will germinate at all as it's a small mongrel seed but who knows. Update...all seeds germinated even the last mongrel seed. I like keeping em warm, in bed with me, in my pocket when cold and not in bed. The last seed that I didn't think had a chance from the start popped 2 days after the rest, after I put the zip lock bag with the paper towel in my pocket for a couple of hours. 100% ain't bad that's for sure. Every time I grow I do the same thing, no u may not see this method recommended but it works for me. Last few grows I've germinated them in my underwear, while wearing of course. Nice and warm thats for sure, maybe its the fluctuation 🤣 Go on, do a google search on the underwear germination method, doubt any hits will be found 🤣

Hoy comenzamos con el primer riego de C21Nutrients Flores Parte A + Parte B, estamos felices con este proceso 🤩👽.
