Nurturing My Cannabis Plants: Balancing Light and Protection In the first half of the day, I place my seedlings on a south-facing windowsill to ensure they catch some light. During the evening hours, they travel back to my balcony. This routine helps them get the light they need while staying safe from pests. Protecting My Plants: A Grower's Dilemma I'm hesitant to leave them outside permanently because, unfortunately, all my other vegetables have been eaten by snails. I certainly don't want the same fate for my precious cannabis plants. For now, they’re enjoying a mix of south windowsill and balcony life, which seems to be working well. First Watering: Preparing for Growth Once the coco mix dries out, they will receive their first feeding. Terra Aquatica Tripart is my nutrient trio of choice. I'll start with a half-dose, as recommended by the feeding chart, to ensure they don’t get nutrient burn. First Feeding: A New Stage My ladies seemed to enjoy their sleepover in the greenhouse. Now it's time for their first feeding. I added Cal-Mag to achieve an EC of 0.5 mS/cm to start with. I gave them a half-dose of nutrients as described in the chart and watered with enough runoff.

9/2/25 Overall I'm delighted with these. 17 weeks grows for me are few & far between. These 2 phenos had 7 weeks in 2L pots. And were put into a 20L pot of coco/pebbles and gives 10-14 days to recover and were flipped. I purposely grew them this shape as I had to make sure I kept them apart if hit with WPM or anything like that. As grows these long, buds this dense. And running a tent with a bunch of mixed grows from done to days into the start of the 12-12 flip. I would have liked to run for another week on a 100w light and high doses of UV but because of such a mixed bag of grows in my tents. Running reds/uv just wasn't even attempted. 10/2 She smells absolutely amazing, buds are super big, sticky & very smelly. They're still mainly hard for the moment. And leaves not even limp. So, I removed the big fan leaves to allow air to move around better. They're hanging behind my 100cm2 tent kept out of UV rays.

Hello, We are at 12/12 +40, the plants are developing well, not all of them will explode right away, but I am patient. So we have the big plant in the middle and 4 cuttings, alas there are only 3 cuttings from the biggest the other is from a Purple Bud. They all received a dose of Terra florès, Cannazym and CannaBoost.

Day 47, she's a little late in flowering game but that could mean good things lol idk Funny she I said ahead of all the other plants :) 1 gal is purple but so small, DONT USE ANYTHING LESS THAN A 2 gal for autos! Seriously, lol even I feel you want to experiment; use a photo not an auto lol learn from me :) (though I love my baby plants lol) Okay she isn't getting into the 3rd week soon of flowering and Shen has now turned purple haha was getting worried. But she did veg for 5 weeks, and she's wasn't topped or FIM so just took a while lol Christmas video is up and I couldn't be happier with the results; I've been dreaming of winning a contest like this forever and i finally have the chance :)

107 days!! Here is another great experience :) The girl has matured, 330 grams of wet, full of sticky, resinous shiny, pleasantly smelling flowers :) I think it will be about 90 dry :) although the girl is definitely not the biggest, but she looks great, the smell is also amazing :) I also got some sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash, For me personally it is really beautiful and good growth, which I think will definitely be confirmed by the dried and cured flowers :) there will be a smoke review, as well as the total dry weight. good luck to everyone :).

16.01.2026 – BT 75 Zu guter Letzt stand die Zoap Rose an. Gegen Ende der Blüte fiel mir leider auf, dass sich in einigen Buds einzelne Bananen gebildet hatten. Zudem habe ich vorsorglich fünf Samen entfernt. Beim Ernten selbst kamen mir jedoch direkt extrem intensive Terps entgegen: sehr fruchtig, mit einem leichten Hauch von Kaugummi. Von allen drei Pflanzen hatte diese definitiv das beste Terpenprofil. Kommen wir nun zum Highlight des Ganzen. Auch diese Pflanze wurde – wie zuvor schon die Apples & Oranges – mit der DryRocket getrocknet. Dieses Mal habe ich die Pflanze jedoch nicht komplett austrocknen lassen, sondern sie drei Tage nach dem letzten Gießgang geerntet. Anschließend kam sie in ein 40 × 40 × 160 cm Zelt. Ursprünglich war geplant, mein 120 × 60 Zelt zu nutzen, doch nach Rücksprache mit DryRocket wurde mir empfohlen, ein kleineres Zelt zu verwenden. Der Grund: In kleineren Zelten lässt sich die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit oft besser kontrollieren, da sie dort natürlicherweise schneller ansteigt als in größeren Räumen. Also gesagt, getan – die DryRocket bekam eine weitere Chance. Und was soll ich sagen: Das Ergebnis war Bombe. Nach der Trocknung lagen die Buds bei 62 % RLF in den Grove Bags und die Terpene waren weiterhin krank am Start. Zum Vergleich: Die Clementine Slush wurde parallel in DryFerm Bags getrocknet. Hier habe ich aktuell noch einen eher heuartigen Geruch, was sich erfahrungsgemäß jedoch meist während des anschließenden Curings legt, bevor die eigentlichen Terpene zum Vorschein kommen. Das Zelt selbst wurde zusätzlich noch mit Frischhaltefolie abgedichtet, sodass wirklich alles luftdicht war. Ich musste mich während der gesamten Trocknung um absolut nichts kümmern. In der App wird eine Raumtemperatur von ca. 19–23 °C empfohlen – in genau diesem Bereich war ich durchgehend. Ich habe kein einziges Mal manuell ins System eingegriffen. Die Trocknung verlief dieses Mal spürbar langsamer als beim ersten Durchgang. Auch das Granulat der DryRocket war am Ende vollständig gesättigt, was sich deutlich an der grünen Färbung erkennen ließ. Fazit: Der Test ist definitiv bestanden ! Ich kann die DryRocket hier guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen. Wie schon in meinem anderen Beitrag erwähnt, wünsche ich mir für die Zukunft allerdings noch ein paar Verbesserungen: Eine Möglichkeit, das RocketFuel (Silica Gel) selbst zu regenerieren oder zur Regeneration einzuschicken Eine erweiterte App mit mehr Parametern und Einstellmöglichkeiten Der aktuelle Preis liegt bei 299 € inklusive RocketFuel. Ob einem das den Preis wert ist, muss am Ende jeder für sich selbst entscheiden. Produktion und Support sitzen in Deutschland, was für mich ein klarer Pluspunkt ist Des Weiteren möchte ich mich bei Shogun, DrainMaster und DryRocket für die Möglichkeit bedanken, ihre Produkte testen zu dürfen – das ist natürlich nicht selbstverständlich!

Hello again! Into week 7+ ladies were very bushy so I decided to dive in and clear out the lower canopy and removed old leaves. As usual watering every 4-5 days and I have increased the amount of water to about 8L to each pot. They are drying out faster day by day. Still using 50mL of molassas to 5gal of water pH to 5.9 this time. No issues to report. See you on the next update!

This girl is growing like a sword – tall, slender, and cutting through the canopy with style 😅 She's stretched quite a bit, and down below she’s rocking four tiny side shoots that I’m honestly not sure what to think of yet. But hey, I’m letting her do her thing. Stretch seems to be slowing down now, and I'm starting to spot the very first trichomes glistening under the light, always an exciting moment! Let’s see how she continues to shape up in the coming weeks. Staying hopeful!🌱💚

Cut the net down now as all stems hardened in place. Had a reshuffle and as the Dos Si Dos much taller i have moved lights to top and propped my other 3 up on boxes to level the height more. Really pleased with this plant so nice and short but spread with lots of tops, smells really nice cant wait to see how this fattens up. Had to do a little late trimming to open up bottom just removing little bits and leaves well under the lights. Done this mainly to help with the airflow and just to give plants little more space as i suffered a little rot on my first grow as was cramped and struggled with humidity however got good dehumidifier and plenty of airflow so fingers crossed it stays well away this time. Overall plant looks really strong and healthy cant wait to see how these last 4 to 5 week turn out.

This week was absolutely torturous had an accident in which one of my plants was damaged fortunately I do not believe that all is lost I will just have to hold her back on sending her into flour with the rest until she is completely healthy I have sent one into flower a bit early just to see if I could and seems to be working swimmingly

I started using a humidifier as the humidity has been around 45% with the lights on with temps around 80f. Next steps will be topping them.

The Blackberry Moon Rocks are looking promising. One of them is growing into this beautiful little bush, and I think it's almost ready to harvest. The other plant is stacking up buds, but I'm thinking it's still a couple of weeks away. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

Sep 5: still going strong. This has been the most hassle free plant. Sep 7: late season hailstorm did some minor damage to other plants but this one is fine. Lost some trichomes but no major damage overall.
