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!

Planta de crecimiento no muy exigente, no demanda grandes cantidades de agua y nutrientes. En este caso solo apliqué LST y respondió bastante bien. Formó un buen tallo principal y una estructura ramificada y firme. Lo mejor de todo viene en la floración, adivina porque?... COLORES!, alrededor de la 3era semana comienzan a aflorar tonalidades rojizas, púrpura, rosas que deslumbrarán a cualquiera. Sus cogollos son más bien aireados y desprenden un fuerte olor cítrico como a cáscara de naranja intensamente dulce. En fin, una genética de calidad y con una visual hermosa y aromas asombrosos!. En lo personal prefiero los brotes más densos y compactos, pero me encantó todo el proceso de esta hermosa planta, totalmente recomendada!

I am extremely impressed: Zamnesia and Plagron !!!! Auto Runtz showed no negative emotions throughout the growth :) Plagron nutrients gave her what she wanted ;) In general, this whole trip was something unreal, (with such a result I have a little hope of winning a prize from the ongoing competition :D :D ) Her aroma is full of tropical fruits!!!! (I can't wait to taste her :D:D) So from my travel suitcase, I got 225 gr of wet harvest weight, I am really happy about that :) (probably 50-60gr of dry flowers), by the way, I will also publish the dry flower weight, as soon as she is ready for it :) I did a lot of photoshoots, but unfortunately my lighting was not good, so I didn't get to take better photos ... Thank you to the sponsors @Zamnesia @Plagron for the opportunity, you are amazing!!! good luck to everyone!!!! And now I can think about a new Suitcase Lady :).

Got 2305 into her final home in a 3 gallon pot, I used grow dots at 1 table per gallon of medium and made the bottom 3rd of the soil a little hot with fresh ocean Forrest soil, and purple cow non manure compost.. and moved her to my new ac infinity 3x3 tent!

Video tells all, I have some beautiful big thick buds and some pretty light stringy buds in the back left corner. I scoped the tricomes today and their looking very milky and not clear. Hope for a good transition to harvest very soon. chop here the next week and a half to two weeks. Flush will begin in a few days I hope.! Over all very healthy plants.

11/10 Week 7 Long week Maggie is responding well to treatment, will continue until I see something that says its gone far enough. I know she needs defoliation but I just hate to take health(ish) leaves when its already stressed. Maybe next week air flow is good. May add some sulfer to the mix but keeping it as is otherwise, 6.8 PH, 1-2% H2O2 and CalMag in a day or two as she drys. Brandy... not sure it did as much for her but see nothing that says stop so will continue as the pot drys. Layla ya got me on my knees... shes my girl. lovely not perfect but has handled things that left other plants stunted and yellowed. Were she a photo I would have cloned her. Continuing feeding as I have, may add Karo may not, defoliation continues as needed. May this continue God willing and the creek dont rise. Last note - Raised the lights up 4 inches to 22" for better dispersal across the canopy now that its getting used. Think this strain likes that. 11/11 Looking better. Did some defoliation on Maggie, nothing stressing and mostly damaged leaves though some were for blocking bud sites Same on Brandy though less so. Picking up some chemical bloom nuets so I can continue lightly feeding them through these treatments, the organics are getting blasted by the h2o2 Layla looking her usual lovely self, buds building, her and Maggie get fed today, Brandy still too wet. 11/12 Brandy still not dry enough, may adopt the feeding I set out for Maggie below when it is time. Changing the treatment on Maggie, for one feed only dropping the calmag and adding two TBS of Epson salts , fish sh!t and recharge to get the bug healthy, and continue the cocotek nuets for the time being, it the only mineral fert I have, to the water at 6.5 PH . Believe the H2O2 has done all its going to do repairing the roots and now I can address the sulfur (i hope) issue. Plant is huge BTW so if I get her producing, yield is going to be huge. IF Layla just continue as before, the Dr Earth is doing a marvelous job of covering all the bases. Will absolutely use this when I go back to organics. Had to reset the lights again... Maggie :) 11/13 New Pics of Maggie as she is the only one causing me concern, no feed today still too wet Defoliated bottom 1/3 of Maggie getting rid of all unwanted under growth. Will continue as it goes. Large leaves looking normal now. 11/14 Feeding time: Maggie and Brandy - 1 gal at 6.5 1.5 TBS Epsom Salt (decided to hit the middle), 5ml cocotek A&B , 6ml Fish Sh!t holding the recharge for next time. Layla - 1 gal at 6.5 5ml Cal Mag , 5ml Bio-Bloom, 5ml Fish Sh!t Getting a bit of height growth on Maggie. Expect more if we are right on this. Decided to hold off a mag/Sulfur foliar until tomorrow if needed. New Vid posted few minutes post feed. Maggie was a bit dry as she is really drinking 11/15 New Vid Foliar feed of 1.5 TBS Epsom Salt / gal unPH water on Maggie primarily though also hit Layla and Brandy. Only the very top of the colas now have the paleness so progress.

Soooooo... I think I really fucked up haha. It's week 6 and they are huge... I didn't anticipate the stretch well and now I'm panicking. Any advice would be great because aside from getting an extra 8 inches from mounting all the way to the ceiling I'm at a loss. They are doing well aside from that though. a lot of dark spots where I could have trained better are just becoming more prevalent and I'm really seeing where I should have filled gaps and trained for a better light footprint. Adding top shooter for the first time at half strength this week, hoping to see results like the canna pk boost in the personal grow which is doing great. Oh and guess whos dumb pump started working for no reason after I got the replacement in the mail lol smh.

Siamo nella terza effettivamente e non nella seconda come negli aggiornamenti, sono andato un po’ oltre con i tempi e quindi ho slittato di qualche giorno…le 2 Royal Gorilla 🦍 iniziano a mettere calici negli internodi superiori e piccoli tricomi iniziano a formarsi lentamente…iniziamo a dare meno Azoto e più Potassio e Fosforo per favorire la fioritura e farle smettere di concentrare sulle foglie ma andare sui fiori, si vede che sono due conformazioni differenti, le Gorilla Glue di Zamnesia hanno foglie grosse e larghe, mentre le Gorilla di RQS tendono ad avere foglie più strette, più da Sativa, Anche se in effetti sono ibridi 50-50…dipende dal fenotipo ecc…continuando e tenerle al sicuro ti ringrazio di essere passato a trovarmi e se ti piace quello che faccio lascia pure un commento! Mi piace confrontarmi con altre menti al lavoro cannabico 😁💯😶‍🌫️😈🙌🕷️

Today marks day 22 since we flipped to 12/12 and about 2 weeks into true flower. Struggling to install the reptile UV bulbs optimally but we should have them in this next week. Did another defoliation and thinning out of side branches. Otherwise things are looking good. Check you next week ;)

Three large glasses full to the brim with the purest, sour and diesel-smelling sativa monster! What a tough passage this time. A few unpleasant personal events occurred during 3 months of the finest organic farming, some of which were in the battle with my motivation. A time full of happiness and a time full of sadness and compassion. I also learned an incredible amount once again. I’m very grateful. “The outside of a plant is only one half of reality.” Take care & 🐝 positive Alpha_Green

So, wir haben auf Blüte umgestellt, auch wenn ich vielleicht noch etwas hätte warten sollen. Es hat aber einfach vom Zeitpunkt her gepasst – mit der Entlaubung und dem Abstand zur vorherigen Pflanzgeflüster-Behandlung. Die Triebe wurden etwas von Blättern und Seitentrieben befreit und mit Clips angepasst, damit wir schön in die Breite gehen. Mit Drähten möchte ich das dann im Verlauf der Blüte noch etwas nachjustieren. Wir haben diesmal trotz fertigem Living-Soil-Mix ordentlich Booster und etwas flüssigen Dünger gegeben, damit sich die Pflanzen und das Bodenleben von der Neemöl-Extrakt-Behandlung erholen. Morgen gibt es noch etwas Soil Starter, damit sich die ganzen Bodenpilze neu ansiedeln können. Beim nächsten Gießen kommt dann noch Honig dazu, damit die Mikroorganismen genug Energie haben, um sich schnell auszubreiten und die Pflanze zu unterstützen. --------- So, we’ve switched to flowering, even though I probably should have waited a bit longer. But the timing just worked out well – with the defoliation and the gap since the last “Pflanzgeflüster” treatment. The shoots were slightly thinned of leaves and side branches and adjusted with clips, so we can spread them out nicely. Later on during flowering, I’ll fine-tune things further with some wires. This time, despite the ready-made Living Soil mix, we added a good amount of boosters and some liquid fertilizer to help the plants and soil life recover from the neem oil extract treatment. Tomorrow they’ll also get some Soil Starter so that the soil fungi can reestablish themselves. With the next watering, I’ll add some honey to give the microorganisms enough energy to spread quickly and support the plant.
