Week 3: Mid-Flowering Stage Welcome to the seventh weekly update of our cannabis cultivation journey in Germany! As we progress into the third week of flowering, our strains—Pulp Friction, Cookies Haze, Eleven Roses, Poddy Mouth, Critical Lemon Kush, and OG Kush—are flourishing with vibrant buds and continued growth. Key Developments: 1. Bud Development: - The buds have significantly increased in size and density, filling out along the branches. - Trichome production is becoming more pronounced, indicating the onset of resin production. 2. Environmental Management: - Maintained stable environmental conditions with temperatures ranging between 20-26 degrees Celsius and humidity levels around 40-50%. - Ensured adequate ventilation to prevent humidity buildup and maintain airflow around the plants. 3. Nutrient and Watering Regimen: - Continued to provide a balanced nutrient solution through the AutoPot system, adjusting as needed based on the plants’ flowering stage. - Monitored soil moisture levels closely to prevent overwatering or underwatering, ensuring the roots receive optimal hydration. 4. Support and Maintenance: - Supported the plants’ structure with additional ties and stakes to prevent bending or breaking under the weight of developing buds. - Continued to prune away any yellowing or dead leaves to maintain plant health and focus energy on bud production. Growing Medium and Setup: - The plants thrive in a blend of living soil, coco coir, perlite, and clay pebbles, enriched with mycorrhizal fungi cultures for enhanced nutrient uptake. Next Steps: - Monitor the development of buds and trichomes daily to determine optimal harvest time. - Adjust feeding and watering schedules based on plant responses and environmental conditions. - Prepare for the final stages of flowering, focusing on maximizing bud growth and resin production. Stay tuned for next week’s update, where we’ll discuss the late flowering stage and preparations for harvest. Feel free to ask any questions or share your experiences in the comments below!
