Week 3: Vegetative Growth and Care
Welcome to the fourth weekly update of our cannabis cultivation journey in Germany! As we move into the third week of vegetative growth, our strains—Pulp Friction, Cookies Haze, Eleven Roses, Poddy Mouth, Critical Lemon Kush, and OG Kush—continue to thrive.
This week, we’ve focused on maintaining optimal growing conditions and further refining our Low-Stress Training (LST) techniques.
Key Developments:
1. Enhanced Vegetative Growth:
- The plants are showing significant growth, with lush, green foliage and strong stems.
- The 18-hour light and 6-hour dark cycle continues to support their healthy development.
2. Continued Low-Stress Training (LST):
- We have adjusted the LST ties to guide the plants’ growth, ensuring an even canopy and maximizing light exposure.
- The plants are responding well to LST, with multiple branches growing vigorously.
Steps Taken:
1. Monitoring:
- Maintained temperature around 24-28 degrees Celsius and humidity between 50-60 percent.
- Kept the soil consistently moist, watering when the top inch of soil felt dry.
2. Nutrient Management:
- Continued with a balanced nutrient solution to support vegetative growth.
- Monitored the plants for any signs of nutrient deficiencies or excesses and adjusted the feeding schedule as needed.
3. Adjusting LST:
- Gently repositioned the LST ties to ensure all parts of the plants receive adequate light.
- Avoided over-stressing the plants by making gradual adjustments.
4. Pest and Disease Prevention:
- Regularly inspected the plants for any signs of pests or diseases.
- Maintained a clean growing environment to minimize risks.
Next Steps:
- Prepare for the transition to the flowering stage, which will begin soon.
- Continue to monitor and adjust the environmental conditions and nutrient regimen to support healthy growth.
- Keep an eye on the plants’ overall health and make any necessary adjustments to the LST setup.
Stay tuned for next week’s update, where we’ll discuss the transition to the flowering stage and the care practices involved. Feel free to ask any questions or share your own experiences in the comments below!

Jungle is growing on top of my washing machine! On the last day of week 6 I lowered lights to 35cm from canopy, this week I’m going to monitor that number and adjust as necessary because the plant is still in stretching + bud setting phase.
I’m feeding with high N+mag and I’ll continue until growth slows down, than I’ll switch to megacrop 2parts. I expect that to happen end of this week, 10 days max.
Day 42 - changed the fan
Day 44 - finally installed the blumat auto irrigation system. It wasn’t that easy since branches are really near the substrate but at least I had the carrot already placed so I was able to do it.
High frequency fertigation on coco is a must, you can’t take advantage on coco great qualities watering 1 or 2 times a day. My system has 5 drippers placed in a Pac-Man shape, more or less.
Day 45 - This is an important day since it marks the halfway point of this crop, based on my previous results. Coincidentally I’ve also spotted few small trichomes on a leaf, I guess the plant is now ready to build up mass and flavors. I did a minor defoliation to open up the inner canopy and to get rid of some plant’s nitrogen reserve.
I prepared 20L of my bloom solution and mixed that with the veg solution in the reservoir. For a week I’m going to use this transitional feeding. Lots of sulfur, seems to be on a volcano 🤣
Day 46 - spotted a minor P deficiency. There is probably too much calcium in my solution that is antagonizing P absorption.
I mixed another batch, this is the ppm breakdown
N 100
P 100
K 280
Mg 85
Ca 150
Before I had P 40 and Ca ~190, my tap water has 80ppm of Ca that is already counted it.
I’ll keep this value for a couple of weeks than I’ll lower everything except K.
(Edit from the future - K is too high)
Day 47 - plant looks happy and bigger, it drunk 3+ liters yesterday.
There is no need for humidifier anymore so I’m getting rid of it. Temperature is 30-32C with 50-60% humidity.
Day 48 - buds are swelling, some branches are already showing the spiral structure. Plant drunk 5 liters yesterday, impressive.

Week 6 day 1 video
Week 6 day 4 video
I’m still pushing very hard with carbs every watering, humic acid, soluble n, soluble pk, microbial mass, b+, fishshit. Already tried testers for lowers. Very potent hits harder than a pen. Feels like 30-40% baked for 1-3h per j, different phenos. Not harsh just testers dried for 0:01:15, checked seeds and developing for 2-3 weeks

The plants produced really well couldn't be happier, makes me wonder if mistakes weren't made and neglect didn't happen how they would of turned out but no point dwelling on what could of been.
Can't be happier with the outcome and will be back with a dry weight and smoke report.
Big shout out to my gromies you know who you are for all the support you have given.
Thank you to @NutriNPK, @Fast_buds & @eleen marshydro for all the products you have sent me

49 days from planting seed.
All 4 plants are now flowering
The runt has grown a little this week and is now flowering, I am starting to think that it could be a different strain? look at the difference in appearance compared to the others. It is now 17 inch. looks more like an indica strain?
The other three are looking good, 2 measure at 30 inch and the third is slightly behind at just under 26 inch. All three look healthy. lots of flowers appearing.
No changes to my setup this week other than moving my light up a few inches, starting to run out of head room in my short tent, will have to consider moving the fan and filter outside my tent if they get any taller.
No rhizotonic in my reservoir now but I have increased my A & B to 3ml per litre.

This week unfortunately I am taking the not so good frosty gelato out of environment... Been 0% progress and not enough bud sites to keep her.
One of each left -
Vanilla Frosting & frosty gelato
Both still looking fabulous the flower nutrients have now been removed leaving the ripen at full strength but cal mag is now half the amount
Next week is start of flush week.

Day 19 of flower, I went ahead and lollipoped both girls. This will be my last time defoliating that heavy. As the days go by, I will defoliating here and there. They’re growing strong and healthy as well. 51 days until I harvest. I can’t wait!
Catch yall on the next update ✌️🏾

Day 79 since seed touched soil. Found some bud rot on other strains yesterday, so made early chop for #2 and #3. Both needed time, #2 needed like 3 more weeks, would be huge ;)))
Day 112 since seed touched soil. last one is done. Ganja Farmer 2024 project is over.
Happy Growing !!!

Week 7 begins for Divine storm. Both ladies are looking good and healthy, bud sites continue to bulk up and frost up. Switched out big bud coco for overdrive as we approach the end of the grow.
Thanks for checking in, tune in next week! 👽🌳🔥

The buds are about 50% denser than my main auto crop. A bowl of wet auto bud might weigh 200 g but the same volume of Hash Bud is 300 g. There are a minimal number of leaves and trimming is the easiest ever. This should be considered a strong commercial plant because it ticks all the boxes: robust, cold tolerant, potent, fast, big, and easy cloning and processing. I’m looking forward to making hash in a few weeks.
