Week 1: Transition to Flowering Welcome to the fifth weekly update of our cannabis cultivation journey in Germany! As we transition from the vegetative stage to the flowering stage, our strains—Pulp Friction, Cookies Haze, Eleven Roses, Poddy Mouth, Critical Lemon Kush, and OG Kush—are ready for the next phase of their growth. Before entering the flowering stage, we took a few important steps to prepare the plants for optimal flowering. Key Developments: 1. Pre-Flowering Preparation: - The plants were defoliated to remove excess leaves and improve light penetration and airflow. - Each plant was repositioned to ensure they have ample space and light exposure. 2. Growing Medium and Setup: - The plants are grown in a mix of living soil, coco coir, perlite, and clay pebbles. - The soil mix includes mycorrhizal fungi cultures to support healthy root development. 3. Watering and Nutrient System: - The plants are watered from the bottom using an AutoPot system, which provides a consistent supply of nutrient solution. - The pots are equipped with air domes connected to an air pump, delivering oxygen directly to the roots to enhance growth. Steps Taken: 1. Defoliation and Positioning: - Carefully removed excess fan leaves to improve light distribution and airflow within the canopy. - Repositioned the plants to ensure each one has enough space to grow and receive adequate light. 2. Watering and Nutrient Management: - Set up the AutoPot system to supply a balanced nutrient solution to the plants. - Ensured the nutrient solution is appropriate for the flowering stage, with a focus on supporting bud development. 3. Air Domes and Oxygenation: - Connected the air domes to an air pump to deliver oxygen to the root zone. - Monitored the air pump to ensure consistent oxygen flow to the roots. Next Steps: - Monitor the plants closely for signs of flowering and adjust the light cycle to 12 hours on and 12 hours off to initiate and support flowering. - Continue to observe the plants for any signs of nutrient deficiencies or excesses and adjust the feeding regimen as needed. - Ensure the AutoPot system and air domes are functioning properly to maintain optimal hydration and oxygenation. Stay tuned for next week’s update, where we’ll discuss the progress of the first week of flowering and any adjustments made to the care routine. Feel free to ask any questions or share your own experiences in the comments below!

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.

Подгибать перестал полностью. Соцветия начали потихоньку расти вширь. Заметил, что там, где света очень много (близко к лампе) соцветия более мелкие, чем чуть вдали. И там, где ветки близко к лампе на кончиках начинает альбиносить. Это не сильно плохо, но и не шибко хорошо. Такие соцветия чуть меньше содержат ТГК и чуть менее ароматные. В остальном ничего страшного. Влажность высокая очень, но тут уже ничего не сделать. Так как растение практически полностью заполнило весь бокс. Ночью до 80 доходит, днём в районе 70. Не знаю удастся ли избежать плесени, но тут уже как будет🤷‍♂️ Пьёт сейчас очень хорошо. До 4л в сутки. Собственно ответ - откуда такая влажность😏 Добавил доп свет сбоку. 50вт, две матрицы на радиаторе. Чтоб хоть немного снизу развивались соцветия. Не хочется иметь ведро попкорна.

This week the Bruce Banner girls kept building up in flower and growing really well.🌿✨ #2 is still the most advanced, stacking nicely, while #1 and #3 continue to catch up with strong, healthy growth. The biggest change this week: I finally gave them a proper, heavy defoliation.🍃💨 Not just a few leaves, this time I removed all the big fan leaves that were blocking airflow and light to the lower budsites. The canopy looks much cleaner now, light penetration is way better, and airflow in the tent improved a lot. All three plants handled it perfectly, no stress, no drooping, they just kept going 💪🌿 Watering this week was simple: RO + CalMag as usual 1 feeding of Orgatrex to support mid-flower development 💧 Environment stayed dialed in at 24.8°C, 55% RH, and about 1000-1100PPFD under the Spider Farmer SE5000, controlled via the AC Infinity AI system.🌡️ Bud development is getting better every day, and the tent is starting to smell sweet and slightly lemony 🍋🍬. All three Banner girls are healthy, vigorous and moving steadily through bloom, no issues at all.

Didnt take a ton of photos this week. But flipped the light schedule to trigger flowering. The canopy has filled out beautifully. If i was more patient I would have vegged for a week or two more.

they are growing nicely, cant wait for the warmer weather to set in so I can plant these girls outdoors. Had a fungus gnat issue that i swatted down with some physical traps and Raid green Earth, see video for details. Also problems with 2 spotted spider mites so I deployed my troops, predatory spider mites. They should get rid of the problem for me.

This week went pretty well for my sour diesel auto. She Finally stopped growing vertically at about 48 inches to the top of the highest cola. We did have a serious heatwave and high humidity I been dealing with as well, but so far so good. The only thing I changed this week with nutrients is I raised my ec value to 1.6, at the advice of another grower, and the sour diesel took it like the piglet that she is. I am still on an 18/6 light cycle,which I plan to stay with the entire grow, and still feeding Maxibloom, calmag, and koolbloom. I am seeing some bright orange colored spots on the top leaves, but I am hoping it is just a little light bleaching. I have no experience with this as I have NEVER grown anything indoors before other than vegetable seedlings. I just wanted to say thank you to this community for all the advice, tips and encouragement along the way, very much appreciated all, and Blaze On!

Only running 1 Thin Mint x Cookies + Cream its front left in the tent, great internodal spacing came highly recommended. Switching to Bloom nutrients, two part Cropsalt. Irrigation frequency will be adjusted as flower development drastically increases over the next two weeks.

First plant, 174.2 grams, super excited, not real happy with how buds looked, not sure if gentics weren't the best for this one but has airy buds except for where the tops were. Still smokes good so no real complaints.

These are doin pretty good. The 2 mac x's are doing the best and look promising. The rocstar breath and purple candy paint are a little smaller but doing well. Added some TNB co2 to give them a boost.

Week 5😃 Unfortunately, I am visiting my family for Easter so there will not be any update after Day 29. Some bad news : I accidentally broke the main canopy. I tried just to bend her a little lower and it snapped. I taped it and hope it recovers🙏 End of Week Update : Finally Home. So what happened these days. 1st : The plant wasn't watered at all (auto-watering system still on the making) 2nd : Main Canopy didn't mend herself after getting snapped 3rd : Still keeping good vibes and energy 🤘

Here we are on day 63 and yes we are still in veg mainly because I don't have room to flip her yet, so we wait and continue to train and hopefully we get a decent yield, because pineapple dream sounds like something I want a lot of 😆 ... thank you so much Kannabia Seeds for these genetics so far so good on both plants of theirs so I definitely recommend .. I'd like to add that i'm also using Maxibloom and Silica but grow diaries don't recognize General Hydroponics. I know somebody had mentioned that they changed but I completely forgot what they changed to... So every feeding i'm giving about .35 tsp Silica and half a tsp of Maxibloom..i really appreciate people. Stopping by showing love , or just saying hi you are appreciated.. i hope everyone is doing well.God bless all and happy growing ✌️. p.s i expect her to be in veg for at least another 3 weeks at minimum .
