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!

Finally it's flowering time!
I've switched to 12/12. Gigi is starting to stretch, 7cm in a week, not bad.
Day 57: Added Alga Bloom, Terpinator and a bit of powder kelp to the feeding solution.
Day 59: Turned on the dehumidifier. I want more high temps and less humidity. Rh% is now 50/55. I'm lowering the ph of my nutrients solution to 6.1
Day 63: I see lot of buds points, very good 👍 if this genetic grows rock hard flowers like a real GG4, I think this plant will be amazing! I've rotated the plant position 180° and added a reflective mat under the vase.
Next week I'll defoliate very well Gigi. It's time to see some beautiful buds.

Critical x Animal Cookies is doing well now under the Hortibloom Solux 350. She did have 2 neem oil treatments this week when the neighbor plant showed mites. I think I found a way to treat them without damaging the leaves a lot. She got some training today, and hopefully a lot of growth to follow. She has some catching up to do. Thank you Hortibloom, and Ripper Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱
Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻
Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱

The nights are cold now, and the days are not warming up the way they used to... I think we are ready to harvest. Ripening is slowing down. I'll give her a day or two more and then I'll do the chop! Stay tuned for the harvest reports.

Beginning of week..
I did remove a few fan leaves.. I also only adjusted the very top branches.. The very lowest branches are completely untied and have only had some HST but recovered a little too well.. The stems have straightened back out and are all knotted up.. Damnit.. Same issue I faced in my last grow.. I should just stop being lazy and tie all the damn branches down.. But all this week I will be adding more training.. Kinda slowly.. Not for any reason, other than it takes a while and I need to make time for it all lol.. It should get done in the next 2 - 3 days and she should be ready for her next photoshoot (mid week pics)! Went ahead and added in some FloraBloom.. She wasn't getting much P.. So I pee'd on her LMAO im just kidding.. Just adding a half dose of FloraBloom to take care of the P issue.. I need to start watering/feeding daily.. She seems to be drinking quite a bit more.. Which would make perfect sense duh! Lol
Next day...
Went ahead and adjusted 4 branches.. Tying down the bottom 2 that were left untied.. Now she is all tied down lol... Looking flat as fuck! I love it! One branch was beginning to crack.. So I eased up on it.. But still bent the very top of that stem down a little.. So the lower branches should still be able to catch up.. She is going to be a seriously gorgeous, thick bush lol
Mid week..
Doing good.. Still just watering, feeding, watering, feeding, etc.. What I do is I feed one day, wait 2 days and water, then feed again the next day.. Then wait 2 days and water.. The point of doing that is so she has more days of nutes than with less nutes.. Idk.. Just my take on it.. She is becoming such a gorgeous bush!
End of week..
She is getting so bushy. Going to have to flip to 12/12 tomorrow and also put her in a 2'×2'×5 CoolGrows tent.. This is not what I wanted to do.. But this is a last minute decision.. Hope it works out still

Es mi primera cosecha de la cual pude sacar 33.5 g secos. Cogollos con una gran consistencia tanto en su volumen como en la cantidad de tricomas elaborados, con un aroma a Alcanfor y pino muy predominante. La verdad una hermosa cosecha que me deja conforme. Una buena cantidad para la muy buena calidad que se obtuvo. Saludos.

Esa familia, de nuevo e vuelto para actualizar las candy caramelo, también trasplantamos a su maceta definitiva, amarillean las hojas de abajo porque ya pedían un trasplante, y hasta que se amolden al nuevo sustrato.
Ph controlado temperatura 22/26 y humedad algo baja 60% aunque pronto cambiaremos el ciclo lumínico.
Hasta ahora esto es lo que hay y mientras catamos la cosecha anterior, os iré actualizando demás diarios con sus respectivas cosechas fumetillas, un saludo y hasta la próxima semana.

This week things seem to be progressing normally. Although not knowing what to expect, I can't say for sure, but no mishaps so far. I think they have stopped stretching, and are starting to get bigger buds, but that may be wishful thinking.
Watching the time lapse I am noticing that during certain parts of the day, the leaves are drooping still. At first I manually turned on the pump for their nutrients when I saw the leaves starting to sag, which was generally when I got up in the morning, but then watching the video, I decided to start doing it earlier. After watching last weeks video, I decided to set the pump to go on even earlier, and now I think I might do earlier still, or even perhaps set it to run twice a day. Time will tell... literally.. 😃
As you can see, I dropped the amount of Medi One this week, and upped the Bloom formulation with no big change in the results that I can see, but they do look healthy with green leaves and no unusual tips.

Took some nice pictures with my microscope at the begin of this week
from a underdeveloped budrot bud. So the other buds might have more and better thc on it.
This is the end of the 6th week of flowering.
Gave the plants only enzymen, because I don't know how long I can keep them going on flowering with this climate.
Therefore I rather not feed them( there are still alot of nutrients in the soil), so they are not full of nutrients when I have to suddenly harvest them.
As you can see, they take the nutrients out of the leafs as well, because they don't get nutrients from my watering.
Might give them some Humic-Blast as well, in the new week.
Will harvest them in 1 or 2 weeks depending on climate + growth of buds.
The front plant buds didn't swell that much but the plant behind keeps flowering, not much but bit by bit.
It's understandable because the day temperature is between 10-20 degrees fahrenheit and night temp is between 5-12 LOL

This week the plants went through a lot of training. First, at the beginning of the week, the humidifier was taken out, the light was set to 4, and I applied worm castings to reduce the Ph level. Then two older plants got topped, and applied LST on the main branches. I rolled the main branches between my fingers to soften the branches until they are limp. Then tied down the tallest branch. Then, the rest of the plants got topped. By the end of the week, ALL of the plants were topped at the fifth node and trimmed under growth, up to the third node. This prepares them for top bud production and sets the plants into healing mode. Which will increase yield and terpene production.
Note: the baby Lemmosa plants are very healthy and vibrant and young enough to withstand the HST!

Update 20 Jan 2021 - Well starting the cure a bit earlier than I’d like cause I’m having issues getting the humidity up so she dried up quick. Working on rehydrating her a bit and have her in mason jars now. Ended of with 88 grams of rock solid buds. Still want it to rehydrate and cure a bit before trying her out.
What can I say, a very simple and easy grow. Had absolutely no issues during the grow and ended up with 380 grams of SOLID wet bud. Even some of the lower buds that didn’t get much light are pretty rock solid. Going by the smell and solidness of the buds, I got a feeling this is gonna be a too 2 strain, if not number 1. Looking forward to growing this one again and as soon as I harvest another plant, I’ll probably start another one of these.

Straight forward week. Light, water, CO2 then repeat. Julie's color looks fine and she has a nice stalk with some thick sub branches. Hopefully i will get a good canopy out of her since the tie down stakes I was using to pin her down couldn't hold her down anymore. I traded out the 1200W COB LED for a smaller 1000W COB LED in order to bring the temp down. Air is about 5 degrees cooler if i keep the door to the batcave open.
