This was my first grow and there were some troubles along the way I harvested a little early just off amateur instinct but it comes with time 🤷‍♂️🏻 Def recommended for beginners it’s a easy potent plant to grow and looks amazing

🇩🇪 Cherry Limeade von Doja – Wochenkommentar Die Cherry Limeade von Doja steht weiterhin richtig gut da 🌱. Das Blätterdach bedeckt die 60 × 60 cm mittlerweile ziemlich ordentlich, auch wenn hier und da noch ein paar kleinere Lücken zu sehen sind 🌿. Insgesamt bin ich mit der Struktur aber sehr zufrieden. An Tag 20 habe ich dann den etwas schmerzhaften Teil erledigt ✂️. Ich habe die Pflanze gelollipoppt und alle Blätter und Blüten entfernt, die im Schatten lagen. Das entfernte Pflanzenmaterial habe ich direkt wieder als Mulch ins Beet gegeben ♻️. Ehrlich gesagt tut mir jede größere Entlaubung ein bisschen im Herzen weh, weil die Pflanze danach gefühlt nur noch halb so groß aussieht 😅. Aber diesmal gilt ganz klar Qualität vor Quantität 🎯. Ich möchte möglichst ausschließlich große Top Buds produzieren, die während der gesamten Blüte ausreichend Licht bekommen ☀️. Eine interessante Erkenntnis hatte ich diese Woche auch beim Tensiometer 💧. Ich musste feststellen, dass das Manometer offenbar etwas hängt. Durch leichtes Klopfen bewegt sich die Nadel wieder und zeigt anschließend einen anderen Wert an. Rückblickend hatte ich wahrscheinlich gar keine zu niedrige Saugspannung / hohe Bodenfeuchtigkeit – die Pflanze hat sich schließlich optimal entwickelt 🌱. Das Problem lag vielmehr darin, dass das Tensiometer teilweise falsche Werte angezeigt hat. Zum Glück habe ich mich zusätzlich immer auf die Fingerprobe und vor allem auf die Entwicklung der Pflanze verlassen 👆🌿. Dadurch ist trotz der fehlerhaften Anzeige alles gut gegangen. Ich habe das Tensiometer nun herausgezogen und komplett neu mit Wasser befüllt 💦. Allerdings muss ich das Manometer weiterhin leicht anklopfen, damit sich die Nadel zuverlässig bewegt. Mein Ziel bleibt bei etwa 120 mbar Saugspannung während der Blüte. Heute gab es außerdem 3,5 Liter Almicanna Flower Komposttee 🌸. Der Tee wurde zuvor insgesamt 48 Stunden unter Belüftung gebraut und durfte anschließend ins Beet 🫧🌱. Jetzt heißt es erst einmal zurücklehnen und der Cherry Limeade beim Aufbau ihrer Buds zuschauen 😎. Nachdem sie sich in den nächsten Tagen von der Entlaubung erholt hat, werde ich die Lichtintensität schrittweise auf 1000 PPFD erhöhen ☀️. Jetzt beginnt für mich der wirklich spannende Teil der Blüte – weniger Training, mehr beobachten und hoffentlich viele schöne, dicke Top Buds 💚🌸. 📊 Parameter der letzten Woche: 💡 Licht: 900 PPFD / DLI 39 (12/12, Stufe 6, 40 cm Abstand) 🌡️ Temperatur: 27 °C 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 66 % 📈 VPD: 1,2 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Ø 550 ppm 💦 Bodenfeuchtigkeit: 120 mbar 🇬🇧 Cherry Limeade from Doja – Weekly Update The Cherry Limeade by Doja is looking really good 🌱. The canopy now covers most of the 60 × 60 cm tent quite nicely, although there are still a few small gaps here and there 🌿. Overall, I’m very happy with the structure. On day 20, I had to do the slightly painful part ✂️. I lollipopped the plant and removed all leaves and flowers that were sitting in the shade. Instead of throwing the plant material away, I added it straight back to the bed as mulch ♻️. I have to admit that heavy defoliation always hurts a little because the plant suddenly looks like it has lost half of its mass 😅. But this time I’m clearly going for quality over quantity 🎯. My goal is to produce mainly top buds that receive plenty of direct light throughout flowering ☀️. I also discovered something interesting with the tensiometer this week 💧. The pressure gauge seems to be sticking slightly. A gentle tap on the gauge makes the needle move again and reveals a different reading. Looking back, I probably didn’t have excessively high soil moisture at all – the plant has been developing perfectly 🌱. The problem was simply that the tensiometer was occasionally giving me inaccurate readings. Fortunately, I also relied on the finger test and, most importantly, on how the plant itself was developing 👆🌿. Because of that, everything worked out despite the faulty readings. I have now removed the tensiometer and refilled it completely with water 💦. However, I still need to gently tap the gauge to get the needle moving reliably. My target remains around 120 mbar soil suction tension throughout flowering. Today I also gave the plant 3.5 liters of Almicanna Flower Compost Tea 🌸. The tea had been actively aerated and brewed for a full 48 hours before being applied 🫧🌱. Now it’s time to sit back and watch the Cherry Limeade build those buds 😎. Once she has recovered from the defoliation over the next few days, I’ll gradually increase the light intensity to 1000 PPFD ☀️. The really exciting part of flowering starts now – less training, more observation, and hopefully lots of beautiful, chunky top buds 💚🌸. 📊 Parameters from last week: 💡 Light: 900 PPFD / DLI 39 (12/12, Level 6, 40 cm distance) 🌡️ Temperature: 27 °C 💧 Humidity: 66% 📈 VPD: 1.2 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Avg. 550 ppm 💦 Soil moisture: 120 mbar

Jour 39, tout va bien, je repasse en période 16/8 et je vais observer. Jour 40, sol humide PH 7.5, je ne sais pas pourquoi. Je vais faire un arrosage foliaire 1L (Terra Bloom 5ml et Sugar Royal 3ml) et un peu d'eau 1L. Jour 41, ph stabilisé 6.5. Jour 42, j'ai enlevé quelques feuilles pour l’aérer un peu.

This was my first outdoor autoflower experience. Very happy with the results. Buds could have had a better taste in my opinion but that is just preference.

;)

FBA 2025 turned Frostbanger was a fun grow in many ways. First, my friend gifted me the seed and I grew outside while she grew inside. It was fun to watch the plants grow in different settings and different growing methods. If you have been following me, then you know our weather has been crazy here. We have had lows of 50* and highs of 90*. We had a hail storm and lots and lots of rain. Today, I was. forced to take my Frostbanger down. I found a couple of buds rotting and it is supposed to rain for the next 4 days, so this grow has come to an end. But first, true to Frostbanger's description, "Just keep in mind, this strain’s dank, pungent odor is super strong—meaning a carbon filter is a must to mask the aroma in any grow room and she’ll make her presence known when grown outside" and boy did my backyard smell. Also, just like its name, it is a "trichome-studded beauty." Sticky, sticky, sticky. It also had a nice fruity smell, almost like a cantaloup. I like to wet trim, so I spent the past 2 days trimming. My wet bud weight is 102.19 ounces. Not A big harvest. Had to throw away some bud rot and I had to take this plant down early --But that is how a hail storm, cold weather, hot weather, Rain and more rain will effect a harvest. I'm happy to be somewhat successful. FYI: today's weather: It has rained 2.05 inches in the past 24 hours and expecting 1.6 inches in the next 24 hours.. I am pretty proud of Frostbanger's cola as it is 10 inches long and approximately 9 inches around. Wish I could have seen it with 2 more weeks of growth. I may not have the growing experience of others, but I am super happy with this grow and glad I could enter a contest. It was fun!

This week we started 12/12 cycle. I decided to do this because of the limited height of the box. Now I am focusing on the fact that it will stretch out in 2X. If she becomes taller, it will be a problem for me and her. Fertilizers: Throughout the vegetation cycle, I added silica to each watering. Now I will alternate 1 watering with silica and another without. I also increased the dosage of plagron "B" to increase the concentration of phosphorus and magnesium. There is a lot of calcium in my water, so there shouldn't be a deficiency. Thank you for attention🙏 Peace🙌

Hola gente!! Vaya semanita por favor... Unos calores de no creer con 37 Cº, humedad relativa extrema de hasta el 83% y poco viento... Ella está interesada en recibir un poco más de agua, pero no le daremos más de lo que necesita... No quiero arruinar los nutrientes y la vida de su sustrato así que la riego lentamente con sistema de goteo. El fermento de guano de murciélago, palomas, conejo y cabra ya está listo. Tiene un agradable compuesto de melazas, microorganismos de Top Crop, Agrobacterias y almidones además de una buena dosis de humus de lombriz... Huele muy peculiar, ni feo ni agradable, como a levaduras... Lo comenzamos a agregar en dosis de 1 litro a 25 litros de agua pura de lluvia para riego por goteo. Esta semana ella recibirá goteo permanente hasta acabar con la solución. Creo que los 25 litros durarán unos 10 días aproximadamente. (Podría variar según la necesidad del sustrato) Estamos preparando además un top dress de composta, humus y trichoderma para cuando comience la temporada de floración ya que es a mi parecer la forma más eficiente de prevención contra hongos no deseados 🤞 Aplicaciones foliares permanentes cada 3 días intercalando una vez delta 9 y otra vez jabón potásico, aceite de neem y cola de caballo para mantener plagas a raya y también dar ese impulso al inicio de la floración que al parecer está funcionando más que bien. Luego de todo esto, ella hoy toma un descanso previo al riego intenso que se viene. Quiero dar mucho más con este cultivo y desearles a todos un gran camino de aprendizaje y agradecimiento 🙏🌿🌞🏄‍♂️ IRIE!

Start of week 13 (Day 49 of flower) 9/20/25

Hola a todo el mundo!! Espero que hayan empezado bien el 2026😃🙌. Con respecto a esta Big Bang, les cuento que esta semana la he trasplantado a una maceta de 20 litros , realice una defoliacion. La he regado con top veg 2ml x litro de agua, le añadi también 1ml x litro de agua de top bloom. Esta semana la temperatura ha llegado a 39 grados. Pero ya esta semana las máximas no superaran los 28 grados( espero que las plantas no se estreseen). También he doblado algunas ramas para que se estiren más hacia los laterales y no tanto para arriba. Creo que no me he olvidado de nada. Buen año para todos y que cultiven los mejores cogollos,ese es mi deseo.

Lot of growth this week. Pie piss is stretchy but I like her look. Velvet cream is the butter leaf looking one. I don’t understand this yet. Is it going to be ok? It has grown fine but it’s has always not really looked like cannabis. Feedback would be wonderful! Orange Creampop was given back to me by my friend. So I have chopped her down 1/3 and topped her. She was meant for outdoors but I’m going to flower her now. Hope she survives the trauma. Small orange Creampop is old and weird. But it’s an experiment now with her. Thanks for viewing!

Día 28 de floración. La cosa se pone seria. La auto rainbow mints huele de locos y sigue engordando. El resto, empieza a coger forma seriamente. Las Oreoz se están empezando a poner moraditas. Pinta de maravilla.

la semana empieza con la poda de hojas abanico. y termina con doblado de ramas. La nº1 que sacó tres ramas por nudo va por libre, le cuesta más crecer y tengo que ir podando y doblando a medida que va creciendo. La nº2 y la nº3 ambas terminan la semana listas para despegar.

Harvest time!? Around 10 weeks and a bit into next week, and the entire journey from seed to chop will be complete. I grew this strain four times, and all four turned out completely different. The first one was huge with rock-hard buds, then there were two smaller plants that still produced a pretty solid combined yield, and now this last one isn’t very big either, but the buds are hard as a rock. You can even see in the photos how the branches are bending under the weight. Now all that’s left is to let them dry, then it’s finally time for the smoke test. Thanks for following my grow journey, and as always… peace! 🌿✌️

Post Flush. Harvest day

The Purple color is just amazing... The Citrus smell is mind blowing... She is comming to an end very soon... last week of feeding and then she goes into the flush... Fingers crossed untill the end🙏
