05.01 Happy new year! The official time of bloom, regarding to the breeder, is done (8 Weeks). I checked the trichomes and still see some clear and mostly cloudy trichomes, amber isn't really shown yet so I think they will need one to two more weeks. I will reduce my nutrient scheme now, check next week for the scheme if you are interested. Beside that I reduced the Light to ~650PPFD for the last ripening process.

A little upset with CROP KING SEEDS after I purchased Lambs Breath Auto and received a male seed from them.sad to say I had to pull the plant out.Now I’m watching the other 4 carefully and to me one of the small one in flower looks different as well I’m very upset with them .If there’s anyone who can tell me some trustee seed banks that ship to the US I’d appreciate it

14/02/22: the plants have had their final defolitation so they can really concentrate on building bigger buds in the final weeks before harvest. Some colas look ready and others not... have had to add my garden sticks to support the plants.

My first ever harvest went great! I trimmed 3 different ways as well as flushed for different amounts of time. 24hr flush and wet trim with bowl trimmer, dried on dry rack. Aprox 4 ounces as i was smoking it soon as it dried, small buds first. 🤷‍♂️🏻 3 day flush. Wet trimmed by hand. Hung to dry. 119 grams Last two ladies were the bushy ones. I let them flush for a full week and then hung to dry. We hand trimmed them both(not as close of trim) to make edibles and oils with. 412 grams! I think I did pretty well on my harvest. I have over a pound of bud! I’m all smiles!

Alright guys, welcome back — week 7 of veg with the Pineapple Upside Down Cake from Humboldt. This week feels like a big win compared to the last one. The adjustments I made finally paid off. Cutting off the extractor really helped bring humidity back up, and that gave the plant the push it needed to get back into an optimal growth rhythm. I also realized that adding an extra light before was too much — way too much PPFD. So now I’ve gone back to a more balanced setup with a 54W COB at 5000K. The environment feels much more stable, uniform, and the plant clearly loves it. Nutrients are still straight Athena — Grow A, Grow B, CalMag, and Cleanse. EC is holding around 1.4. One thing I’ve noticed is a slight drift between what’s in the reservoir and what ends up in the saucer. That’s why I keep the res around pH 5.5–5.6. Once it drains through to the pot, it tends to rise, landing closer to 5.8 or even 6.0. It’s a bit tricky to manage, but the idea is to aim lower in the res so that the root zone ends up right where it should be. So, the main challenge for the upcoming week is to keep that pH steady in the sweet spot — ideally buffered around 5.8 to 6.0. If I can lock that in, the plant should keep pushing strong. For now, everything looks good. I’m happy with the comeback this week — definitely a victory. Let’s see how it evolves next week. Catch you then!

sweeeeeeeeet 😎

Man, it's been a crazy week. These past few days have been brutal – seriously cold with this crazy humidity. I don't know about you, but I'm sick of the chills and the way my skin feels all sticky. It's been a struggle, but I'm finally getting on top of things. I think I've figured out a good routine to dry things out around here, so hopefully, I'll be feeling a lot more comfortable soon. My gas tax plant's looking absolutely incredible. The buds are gonna be huge, I can already tell. It's got this insane amount of crystals too, which is always a good sign. I love the shape of the leaves, they're so tiny. And guess what? I've got over a hundred seeds from that plant, so I'm definitely going to grow a bunch of them and see which ones turn out the best.

Permant marker the one seedling I could not be more happy with. It has a distinct different look to it than any other plant in the tent with strong growth going on. I'm sad about the other seedling thou the 1st set of leaves were kinda deformed and it has like a spiral thing going on where new growth comes from. Hopefully it comes back around, I always like seeing atleast 2 phenos of a strain I feel it gives you a better idea of what a strain is. It's looking like a good start to a week the plants are strong they are getting to the point I can let the dried dry out completely. I'm thinking by the end of this week the plants will be starting to be sold. Last week I put all the plants into my bigger 2x4 tent with my medicgrow mini sun 2 the 500w version. Only a few of the plants were ready for that light. Seems like the only plants that really have good resistance and have a strong start are the weedseedsexpress.com seeds. Shout out to weedseedsexpress.com for the strong plants. I ended up putting all the plants back into my 2x2 tent with the 55w amazon light it has alot more blue light in its spectrum. It's kinda weird b4 I switched the plants to the 2x4 tent they were getting 220umol under my amazon 55w led then when I put them under the 500w light 25% strength about 50in from plants and they were getting only about 195umol in that tent but it was stressing most the plants. I assume a larger light has more side lighting hitting the plants. I think when useing larger lights it's good to measure umols from the top but also coming from the sides. I think durring seedling stage they only need about 50% the umols coming from the side the plants as the top is receiving. When I put the plants back in the small tent about the same umols as they were getting b4 the switch and they were still a little stressed. So for a few days I put the small light at the top the tent giving them 100umols for a few hrs then 130umols the rest the day.

Hello folks Havest Day 64 of flowering ( Life cycle 99 days ) Drying with 62% RH--18/21°C since 10 Days Now everything is in jar and in a week or more, I would add my little boveda pack 62% for a good storage Overall everything went well ! The Moby Dick 1 give me 115g of dry buds The Moby Dick 2 give me 97g A very good weight with 400w, really impressive,and look at these colas😵💪 The taste is good but not my favourite, i dont like the haze aftertaste I think ,1 month curing will improve that 👌 Thanks to all who comment / like either to encourage or give advice GD community are The Best 🙏😻 see you soon guys 😘 Peace Love and Weed00

She‘s doing okay. Buds are building pretty nicely. Top leaves are yellowing just a bit.

Plants are acclimating to the flower area and new 5 gal buckets. DinaMed's leaves were damaged by the Diatomaceous earth dusting. The colouring is mottled green and growth is twisted slightly. Defoliated both plants a bit. Now, a week to let them grow.

This week she’s bloomed after all that time thinking it was an auto it turns out she’s a photo which is weird because Top Tao seeds do not do photoperiod seeds to my knowledge as I tried to purchase some could only find autos however this Taomatic is not an auto I had another one growing as well which I tore down as these plants were nearly 3 months in and not a single sign of showing sex well you live and you learn BUT on a good note she’s smells very danky not a usual danky smell either it’s different, as of now I would say Top Tao seeds are good they take to topping and heavy training well I cracked 8 regular seeds and only had 2 males maybe it’s luck? we’ll see anyway happy growing peace ✌️🏾

As with the other plants, it was high time to harvest the main cola. The rainy season in Germany begins next week, the temperatures no longer rise above 20 degrees and there is a lot of rain. So it's high time to harvest! Exactly 67 days after sowing we harvest all the upper buds, only the lower popcorn buds stay on for a few more days. It is a little more airy than the Ztrawberriez from the first grow but still beautiful Thanks to fastbuds!

🌱 Flowering Update – Full Week 5 Breakdown → Entering Week 6 Week 5 was focused on entering full bulking mode with a controlled increase in volume and EC, followed by a deliberate pause to restore root oxygenation after several heavy feeds. 💧 Irrigation & Nutrition – Week 5 (Exact Recipes) Start of Week 5 – 7/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.568 mS · pH: 6.3 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 30 ml • Bio·Grow: 6.3 ml • Bio·Bloom: 109 ml • Top·Max: 22–23 ml • Bio·Heaven: 28 ml • Bud Candy: 38 ml • Atazyme: 25 ml ➡️ First full-volume bulking feed. Strong uptake and no lockout signs. Mid Week 5 – 9/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.568 mS · pH: 6.3 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 30 ml • Bio·Grow: 6.3 ml • Bio·Bloom: 133 ml • Top·Max: 23 ml • Bio·Heaven: 21 ml • Bud Candy: 38 ml • Atazyme: 25 ml ➡️ Bio·Bloom increased to push flower mass. Plants responded with visible calyx stacking. End of Week 5 – PK Introduction – 11/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.640 mS · pH: 6.3 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 30 ml • Bio·Grow: 6 ml • Bio·Bloom: 115 ml • Top·Max: 23 ml • Bio·Heaven: 21 ml • Bud Candy: 38 ml • Atazyme: 25 ml • PK 13/14: 6 ml ➡️ Controlled PK introduction. EC peaked safely. Minor tip burn confirmed we were at the productive upper limit. Recovery Feed – 13/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.370 mS · pH: 6.2 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 25 ml • Bio·Grow: 5 ml • Bio·Bloom: 105 ml • Top·Max: 22 ml • Bio·Heaven: 20 ml • Bud Candy: 36 ml • Atazyme: 22 ml ➡️ Intentional reduction to let the substrate breathe after multiple heavy irrigations. 🌡️ Environmental Data (Week 5 Averages) • Day: 24–25 °C • Night: 18–19 °C • Humidity: 50–55 % • VPD: ~1.0–1.3 kPa • PPFD: ~880–920 µmol/m²/s • DLI: ~39–40 mol/day Stable conditions allowed efficient nutrient uptake without excess transpiration. 🧠 Plant Response • Strong structure supporting increasing flower weight • Active bulking phase (buds still stacking) • Minor tip burn = intentional high-performance feeding • Color differences consistent with F1 phenotype variability, not deficiencies 🔜 Focus for Week 6 • Resume irrigation only when pots are clearly light • Next feed: flowering base without PK • Following feed: single, targeted PK 35/60 application • Maintain PPFD below 920 (no CO₂ this cycle) • Preserve night temperature differential to enhance density and color expression Week 5 set the foundation for final mass. Week 6 is about precision finishing, not pushing numbers.

Dutch Passion Shaman Pünktlich zum Erntedankfest am 5.10. war für mich der kritische Punkt überschritten. Shamanin 1 hat ihren Headbud und drei weitere Blüten genommen bekommen. Ich habe die beiden Pflanzen in der letzten Zeit täglich mit einer Taschenlampe abgesucht und nun war es soweit, leichte Faulstellen an dennStielen in mehreren Bereichen der Pflanze. Es waren nur sehr kleine Teile der Blüten, bzw. schlaffe Zuckerblätter betroffen, ich erkenne das mittlerweile relativ früh. Die Stielfäule, wie bei @birdmountain hatte sich bei der dunklen Dame an fünf Stellen gebildet und die angrenzende Blüte befallen. Verlust liegt bei zwei bis drei Gramm trocken. Am Sonntag gab es zum Erntedank Space Tee für zwei und der war sehr lecker, mit starker aber angenehmer Wirkung. Ich lasse den frischen Trimm und Blütenmaterial bei 90 Grad mit einem guten Schuss Olivenöl (zwei Esslöffel ca. eine Stunde ziehen. Die Kräuter aus dem Tee schmecken mit bissl Salz wie Spinat, lecker, und wenn man sich die auch reinzieht, dann wird‘s richtig gut, mit Lachflashs. 🤤 😅 Jetzt bin ich entspannter, was den Erntezeitpunkt und die zu erwartende Wirkung betrifft. Shamanin No. 2 musste dursten, hat recht weit oben eine weitere Blüte verloren, wobei ich die Stelle an einem dünneren Stiel auch hier vor der eigentlichen Blütenfäule entdeckt habe. Hier saß auch ein kleiner Käfer in der Nähe, wahrscheinlich hatte der es mitgebracht. Ihre Blätter beginnen sich zu verfärben. Es geht weiter, bis nächste Woche! Danke für‘s vorbeischauen. 💚

Same as the previous week, temps and humidity are way better, getting closer to the end of winter, its Spring Day tomorrow. This will be the last week of using Rippen. next week will be the final week before harvest. The Flower Smells comes and goes as the fans stop and start...
