Week 4: Late Flowering Stage
Welcome to the eighth weekly update of our cannabis cultivation journey in Germany! As we enter the fourth week of flowering, our strains—Pulp Friction, Cookies Haze, Eleven Roses, Poddy Mouth, Critical Lemon Kush, and OG Kush—are approaching their final stages of development with impressive bud growth and resin production.
Key Developments:
1. Bud Maturation:
- The buds have continued to swell and mature, becoming dense and resinous.
- Trichomes are now fully developed, with milky-white heads and some turning amber, indicating the approaching harvest window.
2. Environmental Management:
- Maintained stable environmental conditions with temperatures between 20-26 degrees Celsius and humidity levels around 40-50%.
- Continued to ensure adequate ventilation to prevent mold and maintain airflow around the plants.
3. Nutrient and Watering Management:
- Adjusted nutrient levels to support late-stage flowering and maximize resin production.
- Monitored soil moisture carefully, maintaining optimal hydration levels for the plants’ roots.
4. Final Care and Maintenance:
- Continued to support the plants’ structure with stakes and ties to prevent branches from bending under the weight of mature buds.
- Removed any remaining yellowing or dead leaves to promote airflow and redirect energy towards bud development.
Growing Medium and Setup:
- The plants have thrived in a blend of living soil, coco coir, perlite, and clay pebbles, enriched with mycorrhizal fungi cultures for enhanced nutrient absorption.
Next Steps:
- Monitor trichome development closely to determine the ideal harvest time based on desired effects (clear, cloudy, or amber trichomes).
- Prepare for harvest by gathering necessary tools and supplies, such as trimming scissors, drying racks, and storage containers.
- Stay vigilant for any signs of pests or diseases as the plants near maturity.
Stay tuned for next week’s final update, where we’ll discuss harvest preparations and the culmination of our cannabis cultivation journey. Feel free to ask any questions or share your experiences in the comments below!

This week has been a mixed bag for my two plants. #1 is really taking off now, showing strong growth and picking up speed!🌱
It’s looking healthy and vigorous, which is great to see. Towards the end of the week, I also noticed the first signs of flowering—exciting!
Unfortunately, #2 is still struggling.😩
It has barely grown and remains very small compared to #1.
If it doesn’t start making progress soon, I might consider replacing it with another plant.
I’ll give it a little more time, but let’s see how things develop in the next week. Fingers crossed!🤞

Shes getting close to finish
I threw a bucket of pure water trough the soil to lower the runoff ppm to 400, now she can finish with only water and whats left in the soil, no more nutrients
I think she will finish in 1 or 2 weeks max.

well, at the end of week 4 i think she continue racing with her sisters and we definitely have a winner ! 😃, she has bud sites all over her, healthy, strong and smelly girl , i think i will get maybe more 6 to 9 grams just with topping, she responded very well to it.
took one pot out because one little seed germinated with the root upwards , I tried to put it on the right path but without success, she died later... learned that they are so fu***ng sensitive in this fase.

Today's day 50 everything is going well.. she spread out pretty good especially with what I had to work with I don't know if any of these bud sides are going to get any real good size to them or not but time will tell.. will be cool to pull off a little monster! 😤💪 Happy growing ✌️😎
ps... I have two fan leaves showing calcium deficiency but everything else looks great so I'm not too worried about it

We’ve got an aphid problem that I recently discovered, probably from my own laziness. Walking between the outdoor and indoor garden doesn’t help.
Treated with water/ neem oil and dish soap. I will continue this until they have been eradicated.
Growth is still amazingly quick.
Kind leds have been raised and the X-420 is set to 100% full spectrum with 25% UV/IR.

Last week, first of flowering, was outstanding, I could water the girls regulary and the work paid off they stretched a lot and are looking super healthy. The girl right below the upper fan is suffering a bit with the shadows and is notoriously shorter than her sisters, I will need to rethink the air circulation for the next grow. Another concern of mine is their height, hoping they dont stretch anymore as the lights are already at maximum possible height inside tent and there is only 20cm gap between it and the plants.

-Checked the trichomes on Cream Cookies to my surprise she's almost ready! She was at 5% Clear, 90% Cloudy, 5% Amber. Started flushing this week. Already beginning to see leaves yellow which is exactly what I'm looking for.
-Buds are really filling out and the plant is absolutely resin packed. Comparable to a photoperiod. Very happy with these genetics
-Hoping to yield tripple digits!
9/14
-Cream Cookies Harvested today and began to hang dry! Haven't got any weights yet as I think wet weight is irrelevant. Will update final numbers in around 1 week when flowers are dried properly and begin curing! Very Amazing smell. Notes of pineapple, citrus, and a sweet smell. Very pleasant smell. Extremely potent as well.

Good news everyone,
we reached week 6 and everything is going smoothly.
I did add some trellis rings to keep her spread out and the automated will probably be set up tomorrow.
11.07.
My pump is weak, but water is flowing. Did add some shelving to make sure the hydro halo is not siphoning the reservoir.
At the moment I am watering for two minutes every 12 hours, will tune the interval over the next few days.
I did stop the foliar feeding for now.
14.07.
The watering interval is down to 90 seconds every 12 hours, I still need a stronger pump, it is working but the halo should splash out way more water and all the substrate should be rinsed, room for improvement.
15.07.
not a lot happened today, the watering interval seems to be okay, will probably add some more support braces, just to have done something.
16.07.
Did nothing, I am occupied with renovating our house.

This plant was a dream to grow, wish I'd taken cuts. Halfway through dry at 7 days. Drying at 55 - 60 % RH and 17 - 19 degrees C. I anticipate she'll be done between 10 - 14 days total dry time and I'll then trim and update weights on this Harvest.
133.75g total after trim. She's a nice smoke, very happy.

Vamos familia, actualizamos la cuarta semana de floración de estas Runtz de MSNL.
La temperatura que estuvo entre los 24-26 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos.
En cuanto a las plantas las veo verde sano, estiraron bien y ensancharon bastante también.
Se nota que los nutrientes de la marca Agrobeta cubre todas las necesidades de cada ejemplar.
Las flores empezaron a formarse, por el momento todo correcto, os dejé también alguna novedad y un cambio en la sala, agradecer al equipo de Mars hydro por el nuevo TSW2000. (los últimos 5 años cultive solo con los leds de esta marca).
- os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida

Oct 5: Bruce is doing great. I was getting worried she wouldn’t finish in time but she’s picked up the pace and the weather is still good. Sort of. Hitting zero tonight and high of +3 C tomorrow. After that it’s sunny for two weeks with highs near 20 C.
She’s turned purple the last few days and is putting on weight. 👍👍
She also broke a limb when blown over (again). Removing big fan leaves that are shading bud sites.
Oct 6: she’s beautiful. Removed some large fan leaves that were shading bud. Feels weirdly warm tonight.
Still using the 730 nm far red light for a few seconds at dusk as a bloom booster. Now down to just over 11 h of daylight.
Oct 10: looking good this morning.
Oct 11: been removing fan leaves to get as much light on the buds as possible. Sunlight is weak and low to the horizon but this month continues being unseasonably warm. We’re usually getting quite hard frosts by now but the forecast is warm for another two weeks.
Some nice purple showing from the lowish overnight temps though.
I just checked, and yes, it has been “extremely hot” again for the last 30 days.

End of week 9
One word - Voluptuous!
The neighbours are definitely smelling it now, luckily the terpene profile on all of these plants make it smell more like a citrus farm.
Another smooth sailing week and I have noticed some of the ladies are drinking less and the leaves are fading more and more every day.
I am preparing for harvest as the girls are almost screaming to be cut down but I’ll be patient. I’ll be using my grow tent as the drying room because I can keep the environment in check. Making sure all my effort is not ruined by a rookie mistake such as not drying properly.
Removed some dead leaves and thats about it.
I’ve basically just been checking my PH and watering through this entire grow.
It’s cool being easy and easy being cool!

Hoy quiero compartir mis pensamientos sobre el estado de mis plantas. Sinceramente, quería creer que no habían sufrido mucho por el frío, pero desafortunadamente la realidad resultó ser diferente. Algunas de ellas parecen un poco deprimidas y su crecimiento se ha ralentizado. Pero no me doy por vencido y sigo esforzándome por su recuperación. Además, no me gusta el régimen de luz que se ha utilizado desde el inicio de la siembra de las semillas, 12/12. La próxima vez utilizaré 18/6. Espero que esto ayude a estimular su crecimiento y desarrollo.
Ayer empecé a darles a las plantas PK13/14 en una dosis de 1 ml/l y Diamond Nectar en una dosis de 2 ml/l. Espero que estos aditivos les ayuden a obtener los nutrientes necesarios y a estimular el proceso de floración y crecimiento. A pesar de algunas dificultades, no me doy por vencido y sigo cuidando de mis plantas. Creo que con el cuidado adecuado y las condiciones apropiadas, podrán superar las dificultades y crecer saludables y fuertes. Sigo siendo optimista y seguiré creciendo junto con ellas.
