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!

Hey guys here's another update of the Blueberry :-)
All 4 are going to be beautiful and are growing great.
Next week I will make a clone of each one and put it directly in the flowering chamber to find out which ones are male and which ones are female 😊.
After that, the clones are disposed of 👍.
The males are then taken to another breeding room where they can flower later to collect the pollen :-) .
If a female stays, the run will be continued in the diary here.
Of course all clones are taken extra and im Vegi tent held :-) .
Was watered every 2 days with 0.8 l each (for sewing materials see table above)
It was cleaned and everything checked. Have fun and stay healthy 🙏🏻💚

I deliberately sent my 2 ladies into flower 2 months earlier. roughly the 12/12h rule. Sometimes it was 10 hours in the sun, but sometimes 12 hours.
In my region it will soon be rainy and cold. I'm toying with the idea of harvesting them before I catch mold or something else.
The trichomes are all milky. About 15-20% amber colored.

Holy smokes first time washing a full plant and it sure paid off on some unbelievable quality rosin. Pressed70-160 My some of my 160 melt pressed straight thru 25u and 37 u rolled over 2 times tightly. Great surface area maintained in my press and 90% yeild. Excited to dabble in the rosin game. That was my small dinker plant yielded 300 wet grams for the record. 13 grams return for bubble hash. Larger plants processed I’m hoping for better yield. Let the juicing begin

beginning of the sixth week of flowering and I see many fat flowers. The pistils are still white, but resin production is strong. The flowers themselves do not give off a very strong smell, but it leaves a very strong smell on the fingers, a very sweet citrus aroma

15 Noviembre:
-Hoy se instaló el sistema de riego "Drip to Waste" que me permitirá hacer riego de precisión, con protocolo "Crop Steering".
-Se instalaron sensores de humedad de suelo, para saber cuándo y cuánto regar, el sistema manda datos de humedad de suelo, temperatura y humedad ambiente, etc vía internet a mi celular.
-Mañana se comienza con el primer riego de precisión.
17 Noviembre: Segundo día de riego automático, 3.0EC y 5.9pH, las plantas crecen a buen ritmo, las raíces ya están saliendo por los orificios de drenaje a 2 días de transplantadas.
20 Noviembre: Se realizó una pequeña defoliacion de las hojas tipo abanico muy grandes.

Van madurando bien, se les siente super compactas algunas como piedra.
De momento no hay indicios de botrytis, que siempre ha sido un problema para mi.
Hoy revisé los tricomas pero ninguna está para cosechar aún, así que se quedarán una semana más.
5 con proceso de lavado y 1 todavía con nutriente.

FERMAKOR KOH Extraction – Update
Last time I said the batch would be done in 3–4 days, but I made a last-moment change. I added fresh cannabis leaves, branches, and pistils to help buffer the extra KOH, fix the PK imbalance, and see if I can bring it into line without using citric acid.
Reaction so far: greens are breaking down fast, adding nitrogen while soaking up some of the excess alkalinity.
Smell: strong ammonia, but not rotten — typical of proteins and chlorophyll being stripped out.
Texture: slurry has darkened, foam is down, liquid looks stable.
Plan: let it sit a couple more days stirring, then check if it’s ready to use and use some citric acid in case the pH is still to high and "force" it ready.

Skipped 2 weeks didnt feel like uploading idk.
Flushed them a couple days ago with a shitload of water, now will just wait for them to fade and die so i can harvest.
Huge chunks all around, some minor foxtailing due to high temps that only increased the density of the buds, smell is awesome, earthy sweet i would say but not much of a connoiseur myself.
I am thinking she is carrying a solid 70 grams dry.

And we are done!
Both plants have now been chopped after 48hours darkness. Now currently drying.
I will post some close up harvest shots once bud is dry :)

This is week 5. My schedule didn’t let me go back and adjust. You’ll see day 33-39 and a new clone (which in hind sight ended up being a male and waste of time)

Hello,
J’ai recoupé les extrémités des 4 branche pour créer 8 nouveau site de buds, plus qu’à attendre pour recouper et faire 16 sites… la végétation se passe bien dans l’ensemble, je vais la voir une fois par jour, elle est heureuse et pas compliquée 😎

Hello everyone! this week, I had to do defoliation all the same .. on that girl I was not going to touch .. the fact is that there were a lot of leaves .. too many .. it was difficult for the plant to breathe .. in short, I did defolation and also took advantage of the fact that the plant itself made a topping))) and with the help of the LST I took 2 central branches to the sides .. from today I will decrease the light regime gradually .. I hope this will help the plants show their gender as soon as possible ..
