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!

Day 21
During lights out, I dialed up the light to 50% (200w).
Day 26
They are hungry and not growing. The moisture meter has only moved from really wet to wet since transplant on day 13. This new medium is much different than coco-loco. I'm going to top dress when the lights come back on. These plants should be a lot bigger. I feel like ripping them up and starting over. Ready to try my hand at photo-periods. One mistake with autos and the whole grow is phuked! SMH😡
Both these plants together will probably yield half ounce. Not worth the electricity. If I don't see miraculous response to top dressing, they are going in the trash!

Shame on me… habe den taupunkt am morgen deutlich unterschätzt. Täglich steigt die LF phasenweise bis auf 95%. Solar ist praktisch, Zelt darf aber nicht draußen stehen!
Der grow hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht, trotz einiger kleiner Fehler und Unachtsamkeiten meinerseits! Die Damen sind super und werden wieder in den Stock zurückkehren, konnte sie leider nicht voll bis zum Ende bringen ca 2 Wochen zu früh. Nächste mal weniger Pflanzen oder mehr entlauben und mehr umlauft dazu. Komme vom outdoor Growen und habe enorm viel Neues kennengelernt!
Banana’s & painkiller XL sind noch im Spiel ohne jeglichen Schaden oder Betroffene stellen von Schimmel. 🐝

Hello Diary,
The Milky Way F1 is ready to harvest soon, although the Titan F1 ripened first and is already ready, the Milky Way F1 and Apollo F1 will have to wait another week in my estimation.
The Milky Way F1, as seen in the photos, is truly a sight for the eyes.
The flowers started to get more and more brown pistils, but looking under the microscope, the trichomes are not all milky yet.
So I'll leave her for another day.
Otherwise, the flowers are full of trichomes, from which a strong fragrance spreads.
Here and there a yellowish leaf appears, which I immediately remove.
Watering is a little more frequent due to the high temperatures, but I stopped adding any nutrients.
Here's a quick recap of the week.
26/06/2023 - Day 58.
Watering.
Only two days later, the plants drank all the water, so I watered them with two liters for each individual plant.
29/06/2023 - Day 61.
Watering. I repeated the procedure as I did three days earlier.
01/07/2023. - Day 63.
Photographing plants.
That's all for this week, see you soon.

This model was grown for ointment production. So waiting for amber trichomes was pointless. For ointment, it is good to have the THC as active as possible when the trichomes are fully milky, not overripe..
Before applying it to my skin, I made a small piece of hash. The ball weighed 2.2 grams and was pleasantly strong, citrusy, and had a hashish scent..

19.1.25:
I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g.
I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes.
It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements.
I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients.
Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;-
♡ 2ml Cal-Mag
♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish
♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster
♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom
♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max
♡ 1g of Ecothrive Biosys
I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements.
I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. 🙄
I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation.
The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double.
I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest.
I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too.
I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle.
24.1.25:
I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix.
This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments:
♡ 60% Canna coco
♡ 20% Worm castings
♡ 15 % Perlite
The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;-
♡ 10g Ecothrive Biosys
♡ 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules
♡ 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano
♡ 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth
♡ 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
♡ 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster.
♡ 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle.
•Worm castings for some all round nutrition.
•Cinnamon for mildew and bug repellent.
•Canna coco base substrate.
•Perlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system.
•Green Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds.
•Vitalink bat guano again for Bloom.
•RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes.
•Ecothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits.
•Diatomaceous earth for Silica.
•Ecothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial boost.
Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Everything after germination has been pretty smooth. The plants in veg had a couple small brown spots due to under watering but no extreme signs or any abnormalities.

Growing nicely!
Second set of true leaves are forming, still only giving RO+Tap water to 160-180ppm
Watering a bit more thoroughly instead of just the top inch.
Got my sponsored setup too! Loving every bit of it!
Thanks MarsHydro & AC Infinity ❤️❤️

Hi, everybody. Well, that's the long-awaited day of harvest Bubblelicious Auto. First of all, I want to thank all those who supported me during this time, your support gave me a lot, and also gave me the motivation to do better and more beautiful. 👏
You know what I have encountered problems with smell when growing this marijuana strain because of considerations of privacy and personal security, I couldn't give extra days of life to these plants. So I made a harvest for the 70th day of life of these plants, exactly 10 weeks.
When I harvested, I had to move the inflorescences to another place to dry. I put their Bank and Packed in several layers of garbage bag and tightly sealed it with sticky tape.
When I came home, I dried the inflorescences, and I prefer to separate the inflorescences from the large branches, and the inflorescences themselves slightly pressed to make them easier to store and they do not crumble during transportation. So the inflorescences are obtained dense and hard as a tree, but do not lose their smell and taste, but the inflorescence should be compressed very gently and gently for several days as they dry.
In General I'm okay and I'm safe. The final product gives me pleasure, so I think that my risk was justified. Now in my tent matured 3 plantsNeville Haze Auto. I'm not going to stop, I'm planning to keep growing.
However, due to force majeure and weather conditions, my idea of guerrilla cannabis cultivation is at risk. So I don't know what's next. But in any case, soon there will be new interesting diaries. Now my friend has 23 plants for the first week. 10 days. we urgently need to relocate them to new homes or to the outdoor.
In General, add to the followers, follow my diaries, it will be interesting.

Day 17
17/07/24 Wednesday
De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag 5ml -5L.
Very humid week, noticed a green turning colour on top of soils where the humidity has been far to high.
I have installed door netting and recently left open all day and night now so they can condition over night in colder temps.
All are doing well, one overdose slightly behind and looking ABIT swifted. But she'll come around 💪💚
Day 19
19/07/24 Friday
Lite Feed today, 250ml each pot small run off.
Seeing excellent start to these babies. Let's get it 👌💚
Day 21
21/07/24 Sunday
De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag 5ml to 5L.
Watering in 1L each day from now.

Not really much to say this week all 10 are growing fine with no problems at all
I Will keep removing the larger fan leaves as I go along, I do this in order to try and get as much light to the bottom branches as I can before I switch them to 12/12. This will hopefully keep the canopy as even as it can be without having to do to much training or topping.
Day 34 - Looking abit skinny and after the defoliation, but had to remove the middle growth and large fan leaves to get light to them bottom branches and new growth tips. I’m aiming to keep them small and bushy

Start der 7. Blütewoche. Junge junge, die calypso sunrocks ist wirklich der Wahnsinn!
War ein bonus seed von linda seeds, besten Dank nochma👌😜
Habe beide Damen vorgestern nochmal mit bio bloom von greenhouse nachgedüngt. Jetzt sollte nix mehr schiefgehen..
Bin sehr gespannt aufs letzte drittel.
Bei der banana punch geht's auch in die richtige Richtung. Weniger Stretch wegen der 50/50 Genetik und der doppelten Anzahl an Haupttrieben.
Aber s'läuft👌
14.02. Ende der 7. Blütewoche.
Die calypso sunrocks ist schon weiter als die banana punch. Aber 2 bis 3 Wochen werden es bestommt noch sein. Ich hab Zeit, die regeln das schon😉 seid gespannt wie ich..
