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!

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Blue cheese Auto from Royal queen seeds will turn out. Blue Cheese automatic cannabis seeds are a cross of Blueberry Automatic and Cheese Automatic that has been perfected over five years of breeding and careful selection. The result is a feminized, autoflowering strain with superior yield, flavor, and effects to either of its distinguished parent strains. THC: 16% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 375 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 60 - 110 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 110 cm Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks Harvest month: 9-10 weeks after planting Genetic Background: Blueberry x Cheese x Ruderalis Type: Sa 35% In 40% Ru 25% Effect: Cerebral and uplifting Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. All 4 seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 4 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perilite and mix it all together. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Update 2017-08.20. Nr1 and 2 grow and thrive. Number 3 just got rid of the seedpod and is folding out the sheets. Number 4 is a bit shy and can only be seen if you look carefully into the soil. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-21. Nr 1 and 2 is doing well. Nr3 is trying to catch up and Nr4 is still shy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-23. Transplanted 2 girls from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots. The other 2 girls have to wait a little more before transplant to the autopots. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-27. The girls have settled in to there new home of the 15 liters autopot after a little transplant chock. Now the real week 1 starts for me and the girls. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. New pic and movies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. Nr3 is transplanted in 15 liter autopot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now for Nr1 and 2 so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics with measurements and movie. Everything is looking great right now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-31. New pics and videos. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-01. New pics and videos. Gave each of the girls with 2 ml Alg-A-Mic, 4ml Bio-Grow, 4ml Bio-Heaven and 10 ml Formulex mixed in 2 liters of water. I hope they like it :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-02. New pics and the girls liked the water and nutrients yesterday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-03. New videos of the girls this morning. Nr1 and 3 looks great and nr 2 is looking a little funny, maby a little stressed. Kl. 16.00. Did some defoliation on the girls. Added video. Kl.. 23.00. New videos, defoliation and leaftucking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-04. Kl. 11.00. Week 3 starts. Trying to LST the girls and defoliate/leaftuck. New picks. KL 23.00. New video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-05. KL 08.00. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. KL 12.00. The girls got 2 liters of water each with nutes in it, added a video. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-06. KL 08.00. The girls woke up after their beauty sleep, the leaves are always a bit down after 6 h of darkness, but they will stretch now when the HPS lamp starts. Everything looks good and I keep trying to tuck the leaves so they get the maximum amount of light where needed. Added pics and video. The Nr 3 girl is still a little bit behind the other 2 girls and all the 3 girls look like there 3 different pheno of the same plant. KL 23.30. Did some LST. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-07. Day 21 from sprouting, Nr3 is 17 days from sprouting. I have never tested PH in my grows, when growing organic in soil iv learned that it adapt PH by it self. But im curious by nature so i had to test. Kl 10.00 Tested PH in the soil, it was 6.9 and tested my tap water and it was 6.8. Added a video of the girls, its 10 H after defoliation, LST and leaftucking. I think its looking good. Kl 22.30. New pics.

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 7 (Flowering) 🌱 Sometimes the Quiet Ones Steal the Show One of the things I love most about growing is that plants don't compete with one another. They simply become the best version of themselves. Pink Rosay has never been the biggest lady in the room. She hasn't stretched toward the ceiling. She hasn't demanded constant attention. Instead, she's quietly transformed into one of the most elegant and captivating plants in this entire 8×8 Adventure. Standing at approximately 111 cm, she remains beautifully compact while filling her own little corner of the tent with an incredible number of perfectly formed flowering sites. She's one of those plants that makes you stop for a second every time you walk into the room. Not because she's loud. Because she's beautiful. 🌸 Week 7 – Finding Her Spotlight This week she's truly beginning to shine. The stretch is now almost completely behind her, allowing nearly all of her energy to be redirected toward flower production. Every branch seems alive. The flowers are stacking rapidly, calyxes continue swelling, and every cola is crowned with an explosion of brilliant white pistils that make the entire canopy glow beneath the lights. There is something incredibly clean about her appearance. Every branch is organised. Every flower seems perfectly positioned. Every day brings noticeably more substance. She's developing with confidence. And she's moving surprisingly fast. ✨ Already Frosty Before Her Time One detail that's impossible to ignore this week is just how quickly resin production has begun. For this stage of flowering, she's already wearing an impressive coating of trichomes. The sugar leaves are becoming increasingly dusted with sparkling resin glands, surrounding each developing flower with that unmistakable frosted appearance that every grower loves to see. It's still very early. These aren't finished flowers. They're only just getting started. Yet the genetics are already hinting at the incredible resin production waiting later in bloom. It's like watching winter slowly arrive, one crystal at a time. 🌼 The Language of White Pistils Everywhere you look... White. Fresh. Healthy pistils. One of the most rewarding parts of early flowering is watching these bright white hairs emerge across every flowering site. For newer growers, it's worth remembering that these aren't the flowers themselves. They're part of the female reproductive structure, growing from each calyx as the plant continues building her buds. They're essentially the roadmap of flower development. Today they're long, soft and brilliantly white. Over the coming weeks they'll slowly mature, change colour and retreat back into the swelling calyxes as each bud becomes larger, denser and more mature. For now, they're telling us exactly what we want to hear. "This plant is building flowers." And she's doing it beautifully. 🍃 Healthy Leaves, Vibrant Colour & Perfect Balance The foliage continues looking absolutely outstanding. The leaves display a rich, healthy green from top to bottom, maintaining excellent posture throughout the day without signs of stress or nutrient imbalance. Everything feels incredibly balanced. The stems have become thick enough to support future flower weight, while the internodal spacing remains open enough to allow excellent airflow throughout the canopy. Nothing feels crowded. Nothing feels wasted. The plant simply looks comfortable. Comfortable with her feeding. Comfortable with her environment. Comfortable becoming exactly what her genetics intended. 💡 Lighting From Every Angle Although Pink Rosay isn't the tallest plant in the room, she's receiving approximately 1,000 PPFD across the canopy from the Future of Grow Black Series LED. That level of light provides more than enough energy to support vigorous flower production while allowing this compact phenotype to maximise every square centimetre of her canopy. Below the canopy, the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues adding another layer to the lighting strategy. As the flowers become larger and the canopy naturally thickens, those lower branches often receive significantly less light. The additional illumination helps maintain energy deeper into the plant, giving secondary flowering sites the opportunity to continue developing alongside the upper canopy. The true difference will reveal itself at harvest. But watching the room evolve under this combination of top and under-canopy lighting has been incredibly exciting. 💧 Hand Watering – Every Plant, Every Day Like the rest of the garden, Pink Rosay is now completely hand watered. It certainly takes more time. Every plant needs individual attention. Every watering means preparing nutrients, checking EC, adjusting pH and carefully delivering exactly what each lady needs. It's more work than automation. But it's also one of my favourite parts of the day. It forces me to slow down. To observe. To notice small changes before they become big ones. And honestly... I wouldn't have it any other way. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 2 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Maintaining: • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • pH: 5.8 Consistency continues to be one of the biggest reasons this garden keeps performing so well. 🌡️ Environment The environment remains stable, allowing Pink Rosay to focus entirely on producing flowers. Current conditions: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Approximately 529 ppm Healthy roots, stable temperatures and consistent environmental control continue allowing these genetics to express themselves naturally without unnecessary stress. 👀 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect the pace of flower development to accelerate even further. The calyxes should begin stacking much more aggressively, individual flowers will gradually merge together into larger colas, and resin production should spread rapidly across the sugar leaves surrounding every bud site. The pistils will continue multiplying before eventually beginning their slow journey toward maturity later in flower. She's still far from finished. But every single day she's becoming more impressive. If she continues evolving like this, I genuinely believe she'll become one of the standout plants of this entire project. 🙏 Final Thoughts Pink Rosay continues proving that elegance doesn't need to shout. She has grown with remarkable balance from the very beginning, requiring very little intervention while rewarding that trust with beautiful structure, exceptional health and flowers that seem to become more attractive every single day. Her compact frame, brilliant white pistils and rapidly increasing layer of resin make her one of those plants that's impossible to walk past without stopping for another look. Some plants ask for attention. Others simply earn it. Pink Rosay has definitely earned hers. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these incredible genetics, Plagron for providing outstanding nutrition throughout the grow, Future of Grow for powering the garden with exceptional lighting, Lumiflora for bringing additional energy beneath the canopy, TrolMaster for maintaining precise environmental control, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, encouragement and shared passion continue making this 8×8 Adventure something truly special. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Good week, seeing alot of growth sites but they are all still short af. IM not sure if i should worry how short these girls are or not since they seem healthy??? They look healthy and seem to be liking what I been doin. Watering 1.5 liters per plant every 3rd day at 6.5 ph. IM still torn about transplanting to a 5gal a week before flower or just keep amending my soil with top dressing, I am open to opinions and or thought from anyone reading this on tips, what you would do or recommend

Here we are week 4 of veg and there just showing there pistels here our 2 gsc are really taking on vigorous growth so very pleased with these I will ask our @ grizzly-cannabis-seeds.co.uk what breeder they are i suspect there the bakery seed company. Now we had our 1st 100% success germination go tits up more so hydro store not sending rite stuff delaying me corsing me stress subsequently forgot about them for whole day and note so thenly fella behind so our purple lemonade is a recovered 1 and has been struggling to hit water 💧 so its been dip feed for 4 weeks now and is already stated to show her colours. Our 2 bloody skunk k autos we didn't expect much now im not 1 to put a breeder sown but the 3 packs we had were poor after 4 runs now just nor good nor strong won't use them again. They are slowly coming along if I need to cull I will. As for our auto purple kush alos a mystery breeder she is also taking very well to lst and is vigorous in growth. Nutrients/ @indica nutrients @dan indica nutrients On 2 part feed system on grow schedule D as pose to C so we can see the Afghan nectar in action • Along with triple activity  and with resin and smell enhancer

Day 63. The canopy is coming along nicely for a first Scrog, bit of an anxiety ride watching out for new budsites growing INTO the net every day though, but tucking does the job

1st of November, HARVEST, D91 So, after the 24 hours of darkness, she is now beautiful and ready. After chopping her, I hung her for some hours – I had some stuff to do – and after that I did wet trimming since I find it more convenient and I don´t like to trim dry buds. I guess the best way for me would be to leave it drying for some days, do the trimming, then leave it drying some more, but, I sincerely don´t have patience lol. When I was in the last stock to trim (which was the main btw) the top bud looked strange to me so I opened it and it was starting to rot.. I got really sad but what can I do except for trying to save it, right? So I took all the rotten parts out of the top bud and tore it to pieces to watch it closely and keep it from getting any more mold. D94 Today I weighed the half part of the top bud that was already dry and it remained without any mold: 3.6 grams. D97 Everything is dry and now curing, the total weight is 68.6, 65 of the whole plant and 3.6 of what I saved from the rotten bud. I´m really happy with the results, the buds aren´t much dense but they look beautiful. D111 Today is the 14th day of curing. D120 Today I´ll be doing the smoke report, it´s been curing for 3 weeks and the smells is quite good already, I know it can be better but the taste is good already so I´ll be doing it today. More info on growing in the previous weeks and a summary of growing and also the smoke report are on the top at the strain review. Thank you very much for reading my diary!

It’s going well, I think it could be better though. I decided to decrease the part A nutes a bit because she didn’t like the extra nitrogen and increased part b to full strength. Her lower leaves are fading, although I’m not sure if this might be a bit of a magnesium deficiency. I hope she fattens up some more and produces more trichomes. Any advice is welcome!
