Day 22, 01.05.2024
- Not much to do but to further guide Erika II by imposing LST for better light usage of lower leaves
Day 23, 02.05.2024
- Again a slow day. Just put in some wooden pins to provide some more light to the lower leaves
- soil is again getting bone dry. Since I only water with about 10% of the pot volume I think it might be time already tomorrow, maybe in the afternoon / evening
- also raised the lights to ~30cm above canopies again
- Erika II is catching up in height - maybe I can remove the lifting box in a couple of days
Day 24, 03.05.2024
- decided to give the ladies some water inkl. a fertilizer cocktail (~500ml each)
- bought a couple of longer wooden sticks to guide the leaves & branches. May install a scrog net just for better organization/ handling
- removed 2 leaves in total
- also I am now positive: Erika I is definitely going into flowering
Day 25, 04.05.2024
- Erika II catched up to Erika I in height so I removed the lifting piece. Now both plants are leveled on top and bottom (more or less)
- Decided to remove some leaves. I removed every leaf that a) pointed inwards plus b) covered other parts of the plant
- soil is again getting dry. Thinking about watering them in the morning
Day 26, 05.05.2024
- Gave a round of water & nutrition: 500ml each
Day 27, 06.05.2024
- Judging from the timelapse of the past days (see video!) I recognized: 500ml each second day might not be enough (mind you: it is only ~10% of the pot volume). Also after feeding the growing seems to explode :D (I fed for example on 05.05., ~17:00 hours). So I decided to give another round of drinks this evening (400ml each inkl. Fertilizer) at 20:45 which is around 24h after the last feeding.
- Just realized: I did not measure their heights in quite some time. At end of week 4 both are clocking in at 27cm from top of soil.
- Both showing now that they are ladies clearly - so I declare "End of Veggie" Day.
- Removed 1 small bud on the lower part of Erika II. Also removed 1 leaf at Erika I that pointed inwards & blocked light.
- Raised the lights to match 30cm above canopies again
Day 28, 07.05.2024
- not much to do but to watch the ladies explode in height: they gained about 4cm in 2 days :)
- watering is going to happen tomorrow
This day also concludes week 4.

We begin the third week of flowering with a look at those many growing buds all over the canopy of these FastBuds photo fems. The plants themselves exploded in size to the sides and top of the tent, filling it completely!

Buds Incoming & Balcony Patrol Engaged 🐾🌸
We’ve officially hit Week 2 of flowering, and the signs are now impossible to miss—pistils and early flower sites are popping up all over! After running 11/13 light cycle in the tent, I’m seeing the payoff: compact structure, steady stretch, and the first sparkling hints of what’s to come. 💡🌿
This week was all about keeping her supported during this crucial transition. Here’s what she got on her plate:
Foliar Silica spray for strength and resilience 🌬️
A full round of Alg·A·Mic, Bio-Grow, Bio-Bloom, Top·Max & Cal-Mag 💧
pH adjusted to 6.6 using Bio pH- 🌡️
A fresh brew of compost tea followed by Effective Microorganisms two days later for that living soil magic 🔁
And honestly? She’s thriving. Strong posture, vibrant color, no signs of stress—and just enough stretch to let those future colas shine. I really feel like she’s found her rhythm now.
Bonus moment of the week:
My cat discovered the balcony and decided to join me for a little garden patrol. First sniff, first paw on the tiles—it’s officially a shared project now. 😺🌿
We’re stepping into bloom with style, strength, and a bit of feline approval. Can’t wait to see those buds start stacking! Stay tuned—this Red Hot Cookies is just getting warmed up. 🍓🔥

I’ve harvested the remaining Strawberry Pie (1/2oz) and most of the Gorilla (1oz). There is about 1/2oz Gorilla left. This is giving the next grow (Fruit Salad) more room in the tent as well.
Ideally I would go a week longer maybe before touching the Gorilla. But I need to be moving the perpetual cycle along atm. So far I’m using everything I grow and I need to build up a supply that is curing. With that in mind my next grow (Purple Pair) needs to be germinated this week. These plants from Fastbuds are quick though!

I've been pulling fan leaves this week .
1. To slow the top down .
2. To encourage side branch growth.
3. So they can remain in very small pots in a small space until I have space to let them grow properly.

This is my personal favorite strain. We bred it a few years back and I get a few clones every few months to grow. Thought I'd share it with you all. Yes this is a mess. Yes the buds are getting too heavy. Yes there is a lot of sites that prob could or should have been stripped. BUT. Thats not what I wanted to do. I topped it very young and then fimmed it about 8 or 9 times after that. So the branches never really thickened like the other plants I show at the end with the huge stems. Since I have a pretty much unlimited amount of this strain(provided buddy keeps the mother in good shape like he has been) I've been trying different things. This is just a side project and I had no real plan to diary it but I figure the more I fo the better chance I can get sponsored so I can keep doing what I love to do. Grow weed!!!!!!!!. Thanks for the support you guys and girls have been giving me its appreciated. Also shout out to all my Canadian friends here on GD.

D15 - 9.27 - Cruising along, just watering them once a day
D16 - 9.28 - I planted carrots and transplanted the rest of the seedlings. They are all in the same space. That one LA Sunset never really started to thrive, but I'll keep it for now.
D18 - 9.30 - I topped my first plant for mainlining. I picked the strongest FWW with the most growth tip at the 3rd node and just went for it. She may be a little young, so I left her fan leaves for support. I've decided to do 3 groups of two for this grow, in an attempt to experience how these different strains respond to different techniques - Pair 1 will be mainlined with 8 mains, Pair 2 will be mainlined with 4 mains and Par 3 will not be mainlined but traditionally topped to 4 mains.
D19 - 10.1 - Topped the first Black Sugar for mainlining. Her growth tips are really nice looking.
D20 - 10.2 - Have them all topped 👌

Runtz has had a cold week again..
luckily she is in(under) my greenhouse where it is dry ..
But bc it is open (the sides) she is open to be attacked by spiders and spider mites and all other kinds of fuckers, who love the cold and wet weather..(can see it good in her videoclip)
She can handle a lot and a few bugs wont will her..
..but it is the combination of the cold and the bugs that will get her weak and she can get sick..
so im just very grateful shes still healthy and having a healthy colour.👍
She is a magical one too becouse she has shrunken 10CM!! 😆👏
😂, no i just measured it wrong last week i guess 😁
she is now 36 cm.. still very small for her age..
She hasnt streched much, but the last days she finally made some more room for her hedgies, who want to grow..
Finally.. bc i have fimmed her, few weex ago.. and those extra buds need some extra space too😎
thats why i had to defoliate her a little this week (few leaves), it was just too crowded
Now she has got some air for her hedgies 👏
Today i have put her on my garden table again, to enjoy the few sunrays we are gonna have today
so the hedgehogs can get FAT!👊
happy growing for all✊

Hey, now were cooking, week 4 of flower and I see the stretch on the Time-Lapse. I am working on a watering system to replace the hand watering, It is becoming more difficult to get the 3 back plants so I got some goodies on amazon to make a semi-automatic system.
nothing on a timer I'll just flip the switch on and off to feed or flush, more on that next week. so far they are starting to bud, I took some of my Feminized pollen and rubbed a bud on one of each strain, I hope to get a cross if not the I'll still get buds. so the Royal gold Tupur really holds the moisture these things can go for 3-4 days with out water. That makes me nervous with the RH at 73% I might have to put on the Dehumidifier on and set it to 50%-55% RH. ok they If you have any thoughts or comments feel free to,
Be safe GODZILLA vs KONG in March... I got a chub just thinking about it.

Salut,
c'est ma deuxième tentative en aero. Ma première s'était terminée par un sale coup de pythium qui m'a obligé à tout jeter à Floraison + 1 semaine. Je retente donc en améliorant les conditions, de la soupe notamment.
En croissance, j'utilise un système aéroponique basse pression à 6 pots, sous une lampe CFL de 300w dans une tente de 80x80. En floraison, les 6 filles passeront dans un système équivalent mais plus grand (prévu pour 12 pots) dans une tente de 120x120 sous une HPS de 600w.
Les améliorations que j'ai apportées pour éviter le fameux pythium sont : pompe de recirculation ajoutée (1 000 l/h), bio filtre avec sub-culture (bio magix), hygrométrie gérée par brumisateur. Je gère manuellement le PH et l'EC. J'enlève le chlore et la chlorine de l'eau en ajoutant préalablement une petite dose d'acide ascorbique (vitamine C). J'ai réglé les problèmes de fuite du système d'irrigation en ajoutant du téflon sur le pas de vis des gicleurs.
Conclusion de la première semaine : jusqu'ici, tout va bien ! Le développement foliaire est satisfaisant. Le développement racinaire est correct avec un léger bémol sur les racines d'une white widow, que je trouve un peu marron. Je surveille ça de près et rajoute du subculture.
