Overall, this is 9th week of flower for the entire F'22 grow season. With French Macaron beginning week 7 flower and Afgooey #1 and #2 in mid-week 5 of flower. The Afgooey #3 is just starting to form tiny budlets after an extensive defoliation as she's squatty with lots of foliage. Updates & Observations - a lot of maintenance this week from continual ph'ing and flushing as Afgooey #2 has joined the French Macaron with low ph runoff readings. Given I'm growing in a living soil mix with periodic top dressings and teas every 7-10 days, I'm stumped. So, no more feedings for the French Macaron until harvest. Decided that next watering I will flush both girls with fresh rain water captured/stored which I have stored outside in 30 gallon barrels. Rain water tested at 7.2 ph, which to me is good enough for the flushing. It's raining for 3-4 days next week, so this will exhaust existing supply and replace with fresh rain water. Perfect timing. Will update next week.

Buds are drying in a 55% relative humidity! They are already trimmed & in about a few days they will be cured in the grove bags! Happy with the end result for this run!

Hey folks. No new updates really. still on cruise control. Plants are crazy thirsty. Using 10 gal every 2 days or so. So that ends up at 1.2 gal per plant per day! Insane. These air pots do thoer job as advertised. Next update we are going to amend these babies with the power bloom mix!

Alien Vs Triangle starting to get huge. Impressive for 2 weeks old. Gave her an overdose of Recharge this week and I think it paid off! I'm betting she double (or triples) in size this week. Stay Tuned!👍

Flowering day 63 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey everyone 😀. Both phenotypes continue to develop very nicely :-). The buds begin to ripen and smell very tasty 😍. The trichomes are 70% milky, 15% amber and 15% clear. As soon as the next 7-12 days are 70% milky and 30% amber, I will harvest. That's why I start flushing tomorrow 👍. It was watered twice this week with 1.2 l per watering per plant. The tent was cleaned and everything checked for health 👍. We'll see you again next week :-) Until then, I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas 👍😀🙏🏻. Stay healthy and let it grow 🍀 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/cream-caramel/ Type: Cream Caramel ☝️🏼 Genetics: Blue Black x Maple Leaf Indica x White Rhino 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

This week flushing the wedding cake i thought that was the problem was an excess of nutrients, but instead the water was quite clean, around 1100ppm at the first drain, after several flushes water is now on 600ppm.. It seems that the others are starting to have the same deficiency that hit wedding # 2 .. now I'm treating them with 0.5ml of cal-mag adding it to the other nutrients for once a week (except wedding # 2) I will wait for the soil to dry out, to give her only clean water since the final harvest is not long. ⚠️ UPDATE DAY 45 ⚠️ Yesterday flush for dos si dos and today flush for (wedding cake 1) they are having a nutrient lockout too..😪 The (wedding cake 1) is clearly healthier than her sister (wedding cake 2) by looking at her color, but unfortunately she had excessive PPM / EC too.. So i did the same procedure by using only tap water, but this time added only 0,5ml of cal-mag. Water was at 6.5 ph until I got a better runoff, it went from 5.7 to 6.0 PH and from 1800 to 700-600ppm 😬 I have never thought of overdoing nutrients so much.. I will certainly learn a lot from these mistakes 🙌🏻

Wir sind kurz vor dem Ziel. Ich denke in einer Woche ist es soweit, dann wird die Pflanze aus dem Zelt gehen . Und ein schönes Video für den Contest gemacht . Solange wünsche ich viel Spaß mit den kleinen Video und den Bilder heute. Die Pflanze erfüllt zu 100prozent meinen Vorstellungen, da in Deutschland nur maximal 50g/Monat erlaubt sind . Arbeite ich mit einer 3er Rotation, so das monatlich eine Hinzukommt. Mein Ertrag sollte im Bereich von 30-40g liegen. Und hier scheint es genau darauf hinauslaufen. Der Blumat und die Biotabs performen genau wie erhofft, ruhiger , ordentlicher Grow, fast schon zu langweilig . Komplett Problemlos. Es wäre sicher möglich, mehr rausholen . Mit Erhöhung und Zugabe von sonstigen Dünger. Aber wie oben beschrieben, ist mir dieses Ergebnis am liebsten . Freue mich auf nächste Woche. Wir sehen uns . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are almost at the finish line. I think it will be ready in a week, then the plant will come out of the tent and a nice video for the contest will be made. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the short video and the pictures today. The plant meets my expectations 100%, as in Germany only a maximum of 50g per month is allowed. I am working with a three-stage rotation so that one is added monthly. My yield should be in the range of 30-40g. And here it seems to be exactly that. The Blumat and the Biotabs are performing exactly as hoped, a quiet, orderly grow, almost boring. Completely trouble-free. It would certainly be possible to get more out of it by increasing and adding other fertilizers. But as described above, this result is my favorite. Looking forward to next week. See you.

Aug 31: Fast. I got home from work today and could see a notable increase on the flowers. Very exciting. Sep 2: plants are fine but we’re having yet another bad air day due to wildfire smoke. The red tint on the photos is due to smoke. This is pretty bad, but it was worse a few times in May. It’s supposed to clear later this weekend. Sep 3: still smoky but rained a bit which helps. Gorilla Cookies has the best flowers but also seemed to catch the most rainwater in the buds. Gave each branch a shake to help prevent problems. Sep 4: soil is holding water since the last compost tea. This reduction in infiltration rate can happen apparently, and the trick is to not overwater it. It’s also cool today so minimal water used. Sep 5: cool today with gusty winds that blew over Bruce and Gelato. Small footprint of the 5 gallon bag isn’t quite big enough to be stable when plant is this big. Trade off with using a more easily moved size, and that should also help promote early flowering.

Dense nuggets, identical plants. Pretty easy to trim. Don't think this species is really fungus prone,small buds but very dense. Will update smoke report later. Need to cure now at least 4 weeks. Will post and update in september.

Week 10: Mold Warfare & Rainy Woes Update: 28.07.2025 | Day 79 Tough news first: Constant rain, humidity never drops below 60% - full-blown mold weather. Yesterday spotted first mold outbreaks. Cut immediately: 1 budsite on Forbidden Runtz, 2 on Green Crack. Damage contained for now thanks to eagle-eyed inspection. Daily mold patrols intensified. Strain Status in the Rain: Forbidden Runtz - Foxtailing worsens (humidity culprit?) - Trichomes mostly cloudy - 1 week to harvest target - Considering partial harvest: Biggest buds first, smaller ones risk mold - Beautiful purple hues emerging (ironically makes mold spotting harder) - Smell remains fantastic Green Crack - Fully sugarcoated but mold hit her hardest - Yield estimate: ~50g if no more mold - Trichomes: Cloudy but zero amber - needs 7+ days - Critical need: Airflow around thickest buds Bruce Banner - No mold yet (thank you sativa genes!) - Buds still swelling daily - stay vigilant - Resin production finally ramping up - Pistils showing vibrant colors - Mild aroma developing - Timeline: Minimum 2 more weeks Survival Protocol: - Daily inspections: Flashlight checks inside every bud - Immediate surgery: Sterilized scissors ready 24/7 - Yellow leaf purge: Remove wilted leaves instantly (mold incubators) Hoping your skies are sunnier than ours, Catch y'all next week.

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana si inizia a vedere la resina e ora si inizieranno a formare le cime, per questo aggiungo Sugar Shot di @xpertnutrients vedremo l'evoluzione settimana prossima. Odore intenso di Big Bubble, strato di resina pazzesco e numero di cime formate più alto di tutto il ciclo, sono molto curioso di questa varietà.... STRAORDINARIA Grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

OH. MY. GOD. Smells like chocolate, berries, and skunk. I cannot stress the absolute crazy terpene profile on these man. I am STOKED for harvest in about 4 weeks. A very long growing strain but worth the wait! Bought some rock resinator and starting next week will be using it for a couple weeks before flush and harvest!
