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!

Switched the 600 watt MH bulbs out and put the 1000 watt HPS in and Flipped to flowering on Saturday night. The girls seem happy with the additional light and nutrients.
I waited till Tuesday night to do some defoliation. Still having issues with browning roots after completing water change.

📅 Tag 61 - Ich bin ENDLICH wieder zu hause und hab all meine Babys erstmal nen Kopf kürzer gemacht nachdem die während meines Urlaubs gewuchert sind wie Unkraut...was is ja prinzipiell auch ist aber...ihr wisst schon.
Alle Pflanzen machen einen soliden Eindruck & wurden gegossen 😍
DARK DEVIL: Alles Tiptop, Blüten sind teilweise so dick wie die Fäuste von nem 5-Jährigen - bin mir nur unsicher ob ich die nicht jetzt schon Flushen soll, oder ihr nochmal ne Woche geben soll. 😈
GELATO: Braucht bemerkbar länger für die Blütenentwicklung, ist ja aber auch so vorgegeben.
GG#4: Wenn die zwo Autos fertig sind und zum trocknen in den Trockenschrank kommen wirst du mies entlaubt und dann gehts 2 Tage später ab in die Blüte mit dir! ;) 🙌
Außerdem hab ich sie abgebunden, damit die Seitentriebe mit den Tops auf eine höhe wachsen, even canopy undso - ihr wisst bescheid! 👻
Sie war nach meinem ankommen fast 65cm groß und hat die anderen beiden um längen eingeholt... erschreckend :D
Der Größere Topf kommt auch bis Donnerstag an und dann wird die GG umgetopft auf 30l... lol
📅 Tag 63 - Was soll ich sagen, Bilder sprechen für sich.
DARK DEVIL: Digger, die kleine wird ja nochmal richtig dick. Hätte ich meine Kollegin die Blätter in Woche 7 stutzen lassen, wären die Buds vermutlich nochmal wesentlich fetter geworden. 😻
Aber egal, sie hat nen super Job geleistet und ich bin dankbar für jede investierte Sekunde!
GELATO: Koooooooooooooommt.
GG#4: Wuchert wie sau, 30l Topf kam heute...man is das ein Ding. Das wird so heftig schief gehen 😂😂😂 die kleistert mir doch safe das komplette Zelt zu 😂
Ehrlich gesagt glaub ich nicht dass ich die 30L komplett voll mache. Ich denke ich geh höchstens auf 20-22l
Wird Krank.
Außerdem: Dafür das ich n absoluter Beginner bin bin ich echt verdammt zufrieden damit wie alles läuft.
Ich denke ehrlich gesagt nicht dass das ich's so einfach ohne die ganzen Plagron Dünger/Erden geschafft hätte.
Ich habe etwas unter dem vorgegebenen Schema gegossen, weils Autos sind (und keine Fahrräder, lol) - und das funktioniert Einwandfrei.
Die Dark Devil braucht tatsächlich etwas mehr Cal/Mag als mein gefiltertes Leitungswasser ohnehin schon bietet, da hab ich einfach nach Gefühl dazugegeben. Alle 2 Wochen haben sich die Blätter mal wieder gemeldet mit Cal/Mag mangel und genau dann hab ichs dazu gegeben.
Wie dem auch sei, PLAGRON FTW!😻🙌

High Level From Eva Seeds 13 weeks of Veg completed 13th of Jan 2020
So last week was aproximately the Half Way mark for this Grow and Ive started to prepare for the Flowering stage by adding support lines (plant yo-yo's) to the Branches.
Both plants are looking good and I fed them both a feed of some of the DR Greenthumbs "High tea" that I brewed up over the last 24 hours.
At the month of this Month (Jan) I'll start to add the Dr Greenthumbs Bud & Bloom soil Booster that is part of the Full "Super Soil" Kit.
I'm hoping for a Good haul off these two girls , especially plant 1 so I need to provide all the energy I can to the Girls during the Flowering stage.
Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back next week. 👍

She looks much better this week I have not gave her much to drink for the last two weeks. Will continue the draught to promote more co2 for the roots.

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Apple Fritter de RoyalQueenSeeds, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo.
No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas.
Las flores aparte de prietas se ven bien resinosas.
a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, es algo complicada cultivarla pero merece la pena si eres cultivador con experiencia no te será problema cosechar.

1/22 And another week in the books.
Included some CalMag more for just in case than anything.
May leave topping at once as side nodes coming up quickly and don't want them passing the center.
1/29 Pics to end week Growing well raised lights to promote some stretch

Mid week update
Back to hot and, steamy summer weather.
#1, tops are just about 39.5", going to try to get all super cropped to about 30", I expect that they will be double their size at harvest.👍.
On a side note hours of light will soon be at 14.5 hope they initiate flowering,as it will give me almost 3 months of flower!👊
#2 is 43.5" looking like a Christmas tree,still some supercropping to spread out the lower layers.
#3, is 35.5" And no training just picking her dead,yellowing leaves
#4, is 41.5" also no training #5, is 30" , and still stinkiest 😎 of all gonna take a clone today.

Day 49
This smaller plant is at day 49 and has clearly been topped earlier in its growth cycle. The topping has encouraged a bushier structure, with multiple main branches now developing evenly. Instead of a single dominant top, the plant is pushing out symmetrical side shoots, creating a wider canopy and setting the stage for multiple bud sites.
The new growth is lighter green, showing healthy development, while the older fan leaves are darker and strong. The plant looks compact and well-structured, with tight internodes and balanced growth. The topping has slowed vertical stretch compared to an untopped plant, but the overall result is a sturdier, more manageable shape.
There are no clear signs of stress or deficiency — leaves are healthy, edges are smooth, and the color is consistent. The canopy is lower and denser than the bigger plants, but that’s expected after topping. With some time, the side branches will continue to catch up, forming a nice even top layer.
This plant is on track for a strong transition into flowering, with the topping already setting it up for a more even distribution of colas and better light penetration.
