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!

Hello. I've harvested the Mega Mouth. WOW!!! I'm very impressed with this strain. Over 1.5 k for 5 plants. and it was finished by Aug 20 with the tents help. I'm trying some new (for me) categories to add to my report. Plant Stretch (PS) 1 to 5- 1 is hardly any stretch. Bud Mutation (BM) 1 to 5- 1 is a beautiful normal bud- 5 is big weird growths like foxtails. Trim- How easy or hard it was to trim up 1- you blow on the branch and hang it up. 5- Is very hard to trim takes a long time. About- Best guess on the THC % (I've been smoking a long time) Resin- 1 is super slippery 5- is very sticky like Gorilla Glue. Size of Buds (SOB) 1- is very small 5- is the biggest buds Dense- 1- is the lightest or fluffiest 5- is the rock hard buds your bud buster has trouble busting up. Plant #1 Wet Trim 1647 g PS. 3.5 BM 3.5 Trim 4 About 21% Resin 4 SoB 4 Dense 4 Finished Dry Weight 289.5 g or 10.33 oz. Plant #2 Wet trim 1606 g PS 3,5 BM 3.9 Trim 4 About 22% Resin 3 SoB 4.7 Dense 4.3 Finished Dry Weight- 302 g or 10.78 oz. Plant #3 Wet Trim 1635 g PS 3.7 BM 3 Trim 2.8 About 20% Resin 2.8 SoB 3.7 Dense 4.5 Finished Dry Weight- 314 g or 11.21 oz. Plant #4 Wet Trim 1753 g PS 2.5 BM 2.5 Trim 3 About 22% Resin 4 Falls off easily- Clumpy Dense 2.5 Final Dry Weight- 343.5 g or 12.26 oz. Plant #5- Wet Trim 1787 g PS 3.5 BM 3.7 Trim 3 About 24% Resin 2.5 Dense 2.5 Finished Dry Weight- 355.5 g or 12.69 oz. The taste is sweet and smooth to go down with a nice balanced buzz. There was some pests around. I found thrips damage in veg and got some Spinosad to take care of that. Saw some fungus gnats around but they didn't do much damage. Easy to grow and trim. This is a recommended strain. Chuck.

Excited to see the pistols keep coming and coming I have such tight spacing that the buds will probably start connecting by the end of the week on the Royal Gorilla Day 19- Tomorrow I will tie some branches down to open up the plants more. The LSD plants needs it the most!

Divine indica has sprouted on the second seed. She stretched a lot due to the seed husk was giving her trouble. She got that off with a pinch of help and has opened up. So far she is looking good. Already on a journey. She will get moved to another area in a few weeks if not sooner. She will be really fighting for light with the stretching autoflowers she Is in with now. Thank you Divine Seeds, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

What can i say, a fantastic plant, responding well to this organic grow with no hiccup so far. This week i tied down the lower branches using LST method and also tucked in (not removed) some leaves that where blocking good bud sites Thinking i might apply a Scrog in the next week or two for added support. Again watering when needed, 2L every second day or so.

Giorno 50 Di Archive Banck già sapevo ma di Grateful Seeds no. Sono italiano e sono italiani anche loro. Hanno girato il mondo cercando strain per lavorare soprattutto sui terpeni.Hanno lavorato 2 anni e mezzo con le piante Zkittlez per trovare le giuste proprietà organolettiche. Incrociano piante di In House Genetics (26mm) e la Strawberry Banana(dna genetics). Appena ho sentito la loro intervista mi sono comprato tutto quello che era disponibile (Zhead, blessed by banana, Orange groovye, frosted madness, guava cake, blue javaz). Non voglio condizionare nessuno ma lentamente mi sto rendendo conto che il 90% di banche semi qua su Grow Diares non sono famose per nessuno strain e soprattutto hanno gli stessi menù da 20 anni se non di più. Cercate il vostro incrocio da una banca semi che in casa ha i cloni. Non comprate le prime cose con il nome che tanto va di moda in questo momento (es Zkittlez, Mimosa, Gorilla Glue ect) perché sono semplicemente nomi inventati e fumate una cosa che non è assolutamente quella!!! Detto questo passiamo agli odori delle piante Rainbow Belts #1 Zkittlez e lime allo stato puro Rainbow Belts #2 Zkittlez e uva Pink Gasoline #1 Zkittlez e pesca (Peach Ozz) Pink Gasoline #2 Gas/gelato(33 Splitter) Barbara'Pie #1 Torta/crema Barbara'Pie #2 Torta/crema/lime Barbara'Pie #3 poco odore ma simile alla #1 Baker Delight Biscotti/crema A settimana prossima 💪 🤞 👊

This week the photoperiods really settled into their training rhythm. Early in the week I introduced silica into their watering for added stem strength. Midweek (Sept 4) I topped the plants above the 4th/5th node, leaving clean spacing to avoid splitting, and also removed the lower nodes to simplify their structure for the 32×32 tent. By the end of the week, each plant was forming four healthy mains that should train out evenly. Early in the week I also cleaned up the soil surface by pulling out some weeds that had sprouted in the cover crop mix. I originally mistook them for thyme, but once they developed it was clear they weren’t. Removing them freed up space and ensured the true cover crop and main plants had full access to water and nutrients. The plants showed no stress from topping or pruning — leaves stayed a strong, even green, and they were “praying” toward the light after each adjustment. I also uppotted them into their next pots this week. Roots had begun filling their containers, and the timing lined up well with topping. Each transplant went smoothly, and the plants showed no signs of shock afterward. On the feeding side, I watered with silica and began brewing a compost tea (worm castings, kelp, a touch of fish emulsion) for a 18–24 hr cycle to use in the next watering. Watering cadence was every 2–3 days, depending on dryback. Overall, week 5 was about building structure and resilience. The plants bounced back quickly from topping, are holding great color, and are on track to fill out the tent evenly as training continues.

1/31 Week 12 Tent is full Harvested Pussy Galore FFT-7 so moved in Bambi FFT-6 and Thumper FFT-8 into the tent. Actually more room now 2/1 Swapping out the Peak for Koolbloom for a while Gameplan: Pushing Octo and Plenty to finish by weeks end so the clones may be handled. Hate rushing them but this grow is on a clock and we are behind. Clone tent placed on 12-12 time for them to get going into flower, they about 12-14 inches. Expect less than 40" fingers crossed Two clones into the auto tent space was available 4 in clone tent Auto tent is doing well plan to remove two more plants when Plenty and Octo come out Thats it for the week start with a harvest end with a harvest(s) 2/3 Labeled Pics of all tents Race between Octo and Plenty right now Octo is ahead but not much All is well(-ish) in Bondland And Octo has won the race, spent a good bit of time with the loop looking and the LSD will be ready in 3 days. Harvest date for Octopussy 2/6 this puts her at 53 days of flower 3 days short of ILGMs estimate. Plenty needs another week not surprised at all her estimate from ILGM is 70 days she wont have to wait that long. 2/5 Second bulk up is proceeding on Plenty and Octo pretty sure the Soul Peak caused it which is all we were waiting on. They are getting lumpy Octo will be chopped when this slows down doubt it was be later than Sunday but still looking at Saturday Just keeping everything as happy as we can till the space issues work out, gave clones some PK just to intro bloom nuets during flip
