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!

Noticed a huge growth spurt between yesterday and today. I guess that bottom feed really made the roots go wild. Will transplant into the autopots at the end of the week. I am not going to use the 7gallon pots anymore, it's way too much coco. I am moving down to 3.7gal pots which will be easier for the roots to reach the bottom and give me better growth.
720ppm @ 5.8 full veg this week bottom feed. They l-o-v-e it.
I already see the benefits to growing photos. So much less stressful and guarantees a full tent. I wish I tried it sooner!

It’s growing pretty good. I’ve been debating on topping it or doing some LST on it 🤔

I've enjoyed a lot growing this plant, I had to deal at tje end of thr cycle with fungus gntas but she resisted without problems, each day the flowers stink more and more, amazing genetic, I would definitely like to keep on working with this genetic, it's a pleasure to smoke, I recomend you to grow her organically like I did snd you'll see!

After germinating on a wet paper towel inside a hanging plastic baggie for 48 hours, all 6 seeds have opened up. The 3 ZHEETOS (=ZKITTLES X CHEESE) and the 3 BADAZZ-CHEESE (=BADAZZ-KUSH X CHEESE) seeds, which I received directly from Milo from BIG BUDDHA SEEDS have a 100% germination result, I love it. The seeds are then carefully (with gloves on and a tweezer) transplanted into small pots (0,25 liter) filled with PLAGRON Grow-Mix. You can see how its done in the video and pics above. I fill the pot with soil and water it a little bit. Then I make a small hole with a finger in the center of the soil. I take the seed off the wet paper towel with a tweezer and put it onto the side-wall of the small hole. I position it right at the edge with the white tap-root pointing down and the seed-shell laying on the edge of the hole. Then i push the soil from the other side-wall towards the seed, so it is enclosed with soil from all sides and the top of the seed shell still peaks out of the soil. This way the seedling does not have to fight its way to the surface, but can grow out right away. Within 24 hours I can see the small seedlings rise and push out of the soil. Some with the seed-shells still on them other without the seed-shell, depending if they were able to shed them in the soil already. The first ones to rise are ZHEETOS #1 and #2 together with BADAZZ-CHEESE #1 and #2, both #3-plants are one day later out of the soil. During week 1 I only gave them little water (0,1 liter per plant every 2nd day) and on day 7 I add BIONOVA ROOTS to the water (0,5 ml/l) to enhance the growth of the roots of the seedlings. After a few days all 6 seedlings have surfaced and then shed their seed shells and unfolded their Cotyledons (=first round leaf). They grow quick and healthy in the first week inside my GrowforLife-Coset and start to develop the first sets of real leaves. This closet is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL and MOST SILENT stealth-grow-cabinet EVER! (check them out: www.growforlife.com ) I loved my first round in it and cant wait for this one. The plants LOVE the spectrum and light-intensity of the two 50 watts SANlight-LED modules built into the closet. The 100 watts of light are plenty for the small grow-surface (45x45cm) of the closet. This round I will try the whole line of BIONOVA nutrients from the Netherlands, since I have only heard good things about them.

Hi everyone, Weed friends ... the branches of these beautiful plants and supranivatale!
They occupied all the spaces of the tent without leaving a glimmer of light under the canopy ...
Hug ... it becomes more difficult for me than I don't use the containment network
see you around
best regards

Not bad for 2 weeks from seedling stage first time all organic coco my babies were looking pale and yellow edges last week thought oh they were right....nope went to basics...
Foliar clone strength GH synthetic on them to make them happy and found the issue with meat thermometer...
Coco is very aerated....temp was 65f!
Placed heat mat and all goody now!
Coco+wet+dry organic = win.
No raised pots. No runoff. Same with my other bigger tent....ull see...still good idea to gentle runoff flush once every stage.
I hit these with my diy bud factor$ which is way better than that ripoff stuff.
Today i hit them with very light mist yucca, brass, bap, fulvic, 2 organic acids, vitamin c Calcium, tria, and ton of GA3 (🤭😈).
I hit the top left hindsight to drip to see what it does to it vs its sister which looks very uniform.
Guess which one will be the most stretchy and less bushy?

one of the plants could not stand the heat any longer. I cut almost all of its branches, I will cut it completely. Others struggle with the heat, but there's nothing I can do.

Plants are growing nicely! Just some water @ pH 6.5
Red Wine was created by crossing Rozay F2 with Jet A. They are 2 very powerful aromatic Cali hybrids. This exclusive new Cali strain is a very strong and fast flowering indica-dominant strain. It has an aromatic, intoxicating and relaxing effect. That is comparable to enjoying a good glass of wine.
Red Wine has an average flowering time of about 7-8 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoors it is ready fairly early, usually around the end of September.
The yield is very good. Indoors she has an average yield of 450-650 gr/m². When growing outdoors, 600-800 grams can easily be achieved per plant.
Red Wine has an aromatic scent that can be compared to a full red wine. Her full, purple-green buds are very compact with few leaves. This is very convenient when cutting the plants and saves a lot of time. Smoking this weed gives you a nice high with relaxing properties. The taste of Red Wine is very fruity sweet with an aroma of red grapes.
Flowering time: 7 – 8 weeks
Genetics: Rozay F2 x Jet A
30% Sativa, 70% Indica
Plant height outside: 100 – 180 cm
Outdoor harvest month: from June to October
Yield indoors: 450 – 650 gr/m²
Yield outdoors: 200 – 800 gr / plant
THC: 25%

hello my Friends! The Bush'OKush had a great week!😊It is Day 56 of Flower. She is really putting on the weight in the last 2 weeks, A lot of the branches have started to "droop down from the weight to where the stems are almost horizontal. Normally I would stake/tie them up but she will be harvested within the week otherwise they would get tied up to prevent any snapping of branches that could occur.I am surprised actually on how much they have sagged or drooped from the weight due to the size and how sturdy the stems are. She really surprised me in these last 2 weeks with that🙌. As for when she will get harvested it is looking like it is going to be right around the breeders estimated time of ~63 days Flowering👌 You could easily harvest it around the late 7th to the 8th week depending on preference and growing conditions. I am going the full 63 Days at least even though the trichomes are pretty much at there peak I'd say its about ~90% cloudy/milky and ~5% clear ~5% Amber. So I am hoping for a heavy hitter of a smoke from this one so that why I will go the full breeder time of 63 if not a few days longer all depends on how quick the Trich's mature/ripen and oxidize. I will be watching them closely. I am still feeding her some nutes but only every 2 waterings, so it's feed-water-water-feed. I have also lowered the level of nutes slightly and will keep doing so until it is just plain pH'd water for the last two days.She has a very odd kinda hard to describe smell😷, it is this like fresh grapey smell at first then a kushy, earthy, fruity-ish yet pungent like smell 😂 Hopefully the next update will be a starting to harvest update👍 Thanks for stopping in to check out the diary! Happy Growing an Plentiful Harvests Everyone!!🙏

D71: She seems to have grown a bit in the last day and the pistils are for sure looking more orange than white. Now I´ll keep an eye on the thricomes, still clear yet with little cloudy, using the microscope. This one, unlike her unfortunate sister, I intend to let develop to full maturity. No watering yet as she still has some.
D72: Everyday I´m checking for rot, and it wasn´t today.
D73: Watered 2L with 1,5ml of cal-mag trying to resolve a possible iron deficiency.
D74: The pistils are all orange already but the thrics are yet mostly cloudy. She seems very close to harvest tho.
D75: Found a little set of leaves from a larf that were starting to want to rot and blocking airflow so I just cut them off. Humidity is high ( and I´m having trouble and no budget to control it ) and her thricomes aren´t developing in the pace the pistils are starting to turn orange. Otherwise, the buds are incredibly beautiful, with nice purple colors on the sugar leaves and some calyxes and a big big amount of thricomes everywhere!
D76: Well, today when I arrived at home and went to see the tent I noticed mold on her. The thricomes were about 20-25% clear unfortunately but I had to chop her, I can´t control the high humidity at the lights off period and it would only get worse and I would lose much more buds. The overall size was ok, very big buds – which I lost at least 25% of them -, mostly medium buds, both very beautiful and dense, and a huuuge amount of larfs that were hidden in the middle, but I can´t blame that on anyone else except myself. The smell is incredible tho, looking forward to smoke her. In the next weeks I´ll be updating with the harvest week and strain review. Thank you for reading, stay safe and peace ✌️
