the weather in germany is still totally changeable. temperatures from 10 degrees at night to 30 degrees during the day. and lots of rain. she's still alive, that's the most important thing. 💪

Our #15 grows really well, the leaves are perfect and tapered a little curved perhaps but I think that's the effect of the beginning, the stem is straight and does not bend and is very well proportioned. I am giving Plagron Pwer Roots rooting soon starting with Alga Grow. The plant grows well, the leaves are regular and very turned towards the light, it is very proportionate even I don't see stretching, bending and things that don't convince me. The girls have already been poured into 11 liter jars because the biodegradable jars have started to decompose prematurely, no problem let's go to the ground.

She's a big and pretty on for sure. Lovely looking foxtail buds that just keep growing, very pungent diesel terps with a kushy vibe too. She's got a little while left, will be starting the flush soon (4 days after these pics) cause I'm leaving for holiday. Will have to see if she's ready during my holiday, but I think she's can use another 3 weeks, looking at this pic. Gonna be a bitch to trim that's the only negative.

Hey ! I was away from home this week, so i only have pictures of the Day 20 of 12/12. Have a deficience of N. Added some biogrow ans started the pk booster. See ya next week ✌️

As you can see the plants started preflowering mid last week, so now i changed the nutrien solution with preflowering ml/L. Some roots start to appear outside the pot at the base. As you can see the biggest one is higher than the led (shit, i can't make it upper ;( ). I have to think what to do Plants look happy and healthy and have doubled it size last week, from 35 cm to 68 cm Day 46 update - I opened a groww qestion about some marks on leaves. I thought it was nutrient deficency but it seems to be nutrient excess. I have used flash clean from terra aquatica/ghe to remove salt excess at coco. I also observed that it was too dry on some plants so i will add 1 more water period along the day. I will wait 24-30 hours without watering and will change the reservoir to flowering doses. I have taken a few pics with natural light

10/21: dernière semaine de cro. Enfin je l'espère sur les trois plantes une est restée bloquée une bonne semaine elle a l'air de reprendre du poil de la bête car elle montre des signe de pre-flo. Ce que les deux autres qui sont bien grande n'ont pas encore fait. #36 10/22: cocoa+B augmenté à 3ml sauf pour la plante qui a du mal à suivre gg0. Les deux autres aimes bien leurs petites routines mais il est temp de passer en Flo. Mes chéries ! #37 10/23: j'apperçois de minuscule pistils apparraitre de ci de là. pour gg0 je vais tester le régime sec quelques ou alors elles est malade, j'attend les retours par rapport a ma question ouvetre La plante gg2 à reçu une bonne soupe bien complète on verra dans les jours à venir la coco est buffered en plus.... #38 10/24: j'ai quand même sortie mon ph metre digital et verifié les RO de chaque plante et le probleme de la 3eme GG c'est un ph trop ellevé, 7.4 les autre flirte autour 6.4/6.6, malgrés tout cela je vais tenter de récuperer la gg qui a un ph trop haut et on dirait bien que les deux autres passent en pré-flo AMEN! #39 10/27: dernière journée de cro. On est bien passé en pré floraison. Mon RO de contrôle à tjrs un ph au dessus de 6.5 , j'ai utilisé des briques ugro de 11L que j'ai mal tamponé j'espère avoir de la chance et un joli harvest. #42

Buds are stacking nicely on every plant starting to get smells now. Cannot wait until they Start fading. It is one of my favorite parts of growing cannabis and fast bugs. Really knows how to steal the show when it comes to fade.🔥💯

I'd like to say. This is prolly the 2nd week into flower. For being what it is, I feel like there doing well. Will feed tomorrow there last feed was about 5 days ago but remember I'm going heavy with feed and letting them drink everything else thru the bottom. I also do have microbs in this soil. And add them after every feed.

Day 50 29/11/24 Friday Started the week with a feed, going lightly with this Photo. 5ml base nutes to 5L de-chlorinated tap water and calmag to help with the LSt and defoliation weeks. Only 1L used today The tape didn't work on this one!! Lost a top 🤦‍♂️💔 Day 51 30/11/24 Saturday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. 1L Day 52 01/12/24 Sunday Feed today using 8ml nutrients mix each to 5L of De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with added calmag at 5ml. 2L today More LST applied Picture update 📸💚 Day 53 Monday 02/12/24 De-chlorinated tap water pH 6.4 only today, 1.5L trying the low pH for feed and higher in water to try encourage some colours. (Someone said it helps 🙌) Day 54 Tuesday 03/12/24 De-chlorinated tap water and calmag today at pH 6.3 Day 55 04/12/24 Wednesday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water and 8ml base nutes to 5L. And then 1ml of each additives to 5L. 2L Day 56 Thursday (end of week) Ooooooo I went an invested in some hands free 😁💚 ** New Spyder farmer automated drip irrigation 50L system installed 💚🙌 Done 15 L of water and a light feed of 9ml base nutes each. And 3ml additives each per 15L in the tank. Test run week see how she goes 🙌 Picture update 📸💚

So it’s the end of Week 5, Day 35 for the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL auto flowering grow. I have come to the conclusion that these four plants are not going to be XL after their pre-flower stretch. Overall the plants are healthy but the prolonged low humidity and temperatures have robbed them of the vigorous growth documented in my previous Sweet Seeds diary (Cream Mandarine XL Autos). I am disappointed that this will most likely be an XS harvest but a tiny quantity of quality bud is better than nothing. I gave them their first feeding of GHE FloraNova Grow fertilizer at a rate of 1.25 ml/gallon and this is 1/4 of a full dose that would be given to a photosensitive strain. I am still watering every fourth day at a rate of 2.8 litres per plant or 0.7 of a litre per plant per day. I will only be using the fertilizer every other watering or every eight days. That’s about it for this update and on to… Mom’s Tip for Week #5- To Tuck or Take? The when, where, why and how to defoliate Autoflowers successfully…. Lets start with some basic Biology- Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants take in sunlight, water and Carbon Dioxide and transform it into energy in the form of sugars that feed the plant and make it grow. So essentially, every fan leaf on your plant is a solar panel collecting light and therefore valuable in it’s own right. I always try to tuck my leaves if possible before considering removal as my plants need all the energy they can get to power through until harvest. But sometimes tucking isn’t enough or just isn’t an option anymore so here are my suggestions for taking the fan leaves from your Cannabis plants if needed. When- defoliating Autos can be done anytime throughout the grow although it’s generally not done within the first 3-4 weeks. The plants are usually quite small and those early weeks are valuable growing time that these plants simply can’t afford to miss. This is when I find leaf tucking to be most valuable, allowing the plants to keep what few solar panels they have while also allowing the grower to position the leaves so that they are out of the way. I personally find that I defoliate my plants the most over the final 3-4 weeks of the grow as foliage is dying off on it’s own by that point and a few less leaves at harvest time is always a good thing! Of course anytime you see dead/dying or diseased foliage, it should be removed as needed throughout the grow. Where- defoliating Autos is a delicate balance due to their small size and short lifespan. If my plants are healthy, thriving and tucking is no longer an option, I will only remove fan leaves if they are covering/blocking new growth or potential bud sites. As the plants age and the foliage begins to die off naturally, I tend to remove the oldest, lowest growth first working my way up the plant as needed until harvest. Why- defoliating Autos is done for a few basic reasons but only as an extreme in my garden when all else fails. Removing certain large leaves will allow more light into the lower portion of the plant’s canopy reaching young branches or potential bud sites. As the plants age, it also helps with increasing airflow around your swelling buds thus reducing your risks for mold and fungi in humid grow environments. Removing any and all dead/dying or diseased foliage is absolutely necessary in keeping your plants healthy and the grow room clean and pest free. How- defoliating Autos is simple if you keep it simple. Only remove what you absolutely have to and use a sterilized set of sharp pruners for a clean, controlled cut. As the plants age and the foliage begins to die off naturally, just wait. What doesn’t fall off on it’s own will snap off with a simple twist of the leaf’s stem. If the leaves don’t come off with ease, they’re just not quite ready yet so be patient. Be mindful that removing the solar panels from your Cannabis plants is always risky business but Autoflowers are even more challenging in their own way. Smaller plants with a lower leaf to bud ratio and a short lifespan means less room for error so paying close attention to the when, where, why and how is crucial for successfully defoliating Autoflowers. Tuck if you can, only take what you absolutely have to and of course- never take more than 25% of your plant’s overall foliage at one time as this can be devastating or deadly to even the healthiest of plants. Allow your plants to take the lead and they will show you which leaves are ready to go- at what time, all on their own just as nature intended.

The girls are loving their new home and enjoying the heatwave we are experiencing here in Ontario. There was a big rainfall yesterday to break the heat so that was nice treat. I did spray them with a neem oil soapy mixture as I found a few bugs on the underleaves. Could have been aphids but I'm not 100% sure. Also found a few leaves that were munched on by Japanese Beatles. I've gotten rid of 2 of those Beatles already but seems to be the time of the season as they are all over my veggie garden too. I'll probably move them closer to my garden beds next to some companion plants. Maybe it'll help with the bugs.

Unfortunately one of the light bulb slide down and burned plant:( after the burn i had to remove 2 leafs as shown in video.

because I fell behind last week, I had to much vegetation in the middle and under the canopy, I had to remove the net, omg, that was a 2 day hassle,but it is out, I have untwisted the branches, I'm am very lightly defoliating daily just a couple here and ther to try and get them thinned out so I can drop humidity, I have a 90 pint dehumidifier, and it has been on non stop and still can't bring my rh down, the smell is very sweet and fruity, very excited, they all look much better after getting them un clumped up, I'm aiming for a 9-10 week flower, and with it only being week 5, I am very excited.

This is the beginning of each week. So I flushed them and switched nutrients. They were mag deficient, nitro toxic. Not PH actually. I'm adding co2 next week after I seal the room. I think I need to back the PAR down to 800 but they are still alive and it's over half way done. How any more weeks? I thought this was a 65 day auto. Hydro in a 5 gallon pot could add up to three weeks I heard with Autos. could these go 12 weeks total?

⚗️ FERMAKOR – Neutralisation & Filtering (Final Stage) 🧠 “From reactor to bottle — the first real batch.” --- 13.10.25 — Pulled about 1L of the finished FERMAKOR extract into a 5L bucket and added roughly 2L of clean water. Let it sit for a bit to calm down and cool off before touching the pH. Sample came back around pH 6.8–7, totally non-caustic — exactly what I wanted before acidifying for storage. Started adding phosphoric acid (59%) slow and steady, stirring between each pour. Ended up using about 50ml total before the colour flipped red on the GHE drops, landing the mix right around pH 3–3.5. No foam, no violent reaction, just smooth. Smell turned clean and metallic-sweet — the kind of smell that tells you it’s done reacting. --- Filtering setup Used a pillowcase and cheesecloth layered together as the filter stack. The pillowcase handled all the heavy junk, the cheesecloth grabbed the fine silt. It came out thick, dark amber, glossy — zero grit. I’ll leave it to rest overnight, open, just to let any tiny bubbles or gases clear out before bottling. --- Final note This batch is officially FERMAKOR B Concentrate V1.0 (1:4). Storage pH locked between 3.3–3.8, ready to bottle and shake before use. This one’s rich in P, K, Mg, and micros, while Calcium Nitrate will handle the N and Ca on the A-part side. --- 🌱 Closing the diary That’s it for this round — extraction phase complete. I’ll be closing this diary here and opening a new one called “FERMAKOR A+B Test Grow – V1.” Testing starts Monday, 20.10.2025 on a single plant. Time to see if this brew actually works in the tent. 📸 All images videos to be added later — filter setup, pH colour, and final concentrate.

The wedding cake seeds have exploded in size since being potted into bigger pots and it has done nothing but helped them.

Everything is cruising along nicely. Nodes are stacking fairly close together. Plants are really starting to stink.
