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!

Harvest Summary
Most plants have been successfully harvested as of today's date. Two specimens remain and are scheduled for harvest later this week, allowing for optimal maturation.
Growing Method
This cultivation cycle utilized a Biotabs "just add water" organic feeding strategy in conjunction with an Autopot XXL system. This combination proved highly efficient, significantly reducing maintenance time while ensuring consistent nutrition throughout the entire growth cycle.
Growing Environment
Lighting: Sanlight EVO 5-150 LED lights
Environmental Control: Growcontrol Growbase Pro system
Medium: TERRA PRETA MJ-Mix
Irrigation: Autopot XXL with Flexi Tank and Airdomes
Results
The harvest yielded exceptional results across multiple phenotypes of the same genetic lineage:
Smaller Plants: Each produced over 100g of dried material
Larger Plants: Estimated yield of at least 200g per plant (final weight pending completion of drying process)
Quality Indicators: All phenotypes exhibited excellent terpene profiles with pronounced aromas and high resin production (noticeably sticky flowers)
Observations
The current generation of autoflowering genetics demonstrated remarkable growth characteristics, comparable to traditional photoperiod varieties but with the advantage of automatic flowering transition. Plant size exceeded initial expectations, resulting in specimens larger than anticipated.
Recommendations for Future Cycles
Early training techniques are recommended for similar genetics to better manage plant architecture and potentially increase yields. Implementation of strategic training methods during the vegetative phase would likely optimize space utilization and light exposure throughout the canopy.
Conclusion
Overall, this growing cycle was highly successful. The combination of quality genetics, efficient automated watering, and organic feeding strategy delivered excellent results with minimal intervention required.

Hello Diary,
What a trip.
I read a lot about the new F1 hybrid strains when they came out and was really interested to see how quickly they would develop.
And indeed, in the end I can say that I am very satisfied with the Medusa F1.
I planted three seeds but one did not sprout so two remained on the farm.
The first Medusa was ready to harvest 68 days after the seed was placed in the ground, the second Medusa stayed a week longer.
All the time the vegetation and flowering grew happily and contentedly.
I didn't feed them too many additional supplements and they grew as if they were on steroids.
After harvesting the first plant, I put it in a cardboard box to dry to protect it from light since the second plant was still on the farm.
Drying lasted 14 days, after which I trimmed the flowers and put them in jars.
The final result is 116 grams of dried flowers.
Medusa F1 #1 - 47 g.
Medusa F1 #2 - 69 g.
In the end, I can only honestly recommend everyone to try growing this great strain.
Thank you all for your support and see you soon with new F1 strains.

Bubble og I still have 4 of these guys going. A few of them are still dark green and pretty decent growers they have thiner leaves. I'm sure a few of these will be on the chopping block later down a few of them just have crappy start growth and they need the humidity at 75% or above 100% the time with the light lower than normal or they start to shrivel up. That's not all of them just a couple. Also I am only going to flower 8 plants out if the 12 seedling and I have 5 strains going so can't have half my plants bubble og (wish I had room to grow the full 12 plants at a time)
It's looking like a good start to a week the plants are strong they are getting to the point I can let the dried dry out completely. I'm thinking by the end of this week the plants will be starting to be sold.
Last week I put all the plants into my bigger 2x4 tent with my medicgrow mini sun 2 the 500w version. Only a few of the plants were ready for that light. Seems like the only plants that really have good resistance and have a strong start are the weedseedsexpress.com seeds. Shout out to weedseedsexpress.com for the strong plants.
I ended up putting all the plants back into my 2x2 tent with the 55w amazon light it has alot more blue light in its spectrum. It's kinda weird b4 I switched the plants to the 2x4 tent they were getting 220umol under my amazon 55w led then when I put them under the 500w light 25% strength about 50in from plants and they were getting only about 195umol in that tent but it was stressing most the plants. I assume a larger light has more side lighting hitting the plants. I think when useing larger lights it's good to measure umols from the top but also coming from the sides. I think durring seedling stage they only need about 50% the umols coming from the side the plants as the top is receiving.
When I put the plants back in the small tent about the same umols as they were getting b4 the switch and they were still a little stressed. So for a few days I put the small light at the top the tent giving them 100umols for a few hrs then 130umols the rest the day.

420Fastbuds Week 7
Gorilla Cookies Auto
The 2 of these seem to be growing great. The bigger one seems to have taken the fasttrack to flower as they both sprouted around the same time. The smaller one is by no means doing bad it's just a little slower but by the looks of it I'll guess it'll be close the the same size as the taller one that's close to 40in tall from the top of the soil. The taller one has preflowers all over and even though is tall stacked nice so the spacing on branches between flower sites isn't to far. This week the temps have been dropping from the low 90's to the mid 70's during the day and into the 50's at night. Got some rain today so humidity is up to 65% but I upped my fans so hopefully will be ok and it was a fluke storm so guessing tomorrow will be back to sunshine and nice weather. Until next week Happy Growing

Another great week with perfect weather. Been spraying BT still about once every 5-7 days. Haven't seen any signs of caterpillar droppings so that's a plus. My bud releases are sticking around and fighting the good fight. Only pest I'm seeing that is starting to building up is grasshopper.

Bueno, cortada 😁. Sin duda esta era la mayor candidata a ser la primera en cortar, y además a ser de una gran cosecha.
De momento está puesta a secar dentro del armario encima de las luces, a ver si llegamos a los 10/15 dias que me viene operación y así puedo disfrutarla en el periodo de recuperación ❤️

Grow Diaries Report: A Challenging Week 🌱✈️
Week 6 – Plant Update
This week brought a mix of growth and setbacks. While the plant continued to thrive with her characteristic stretch and bushiness, there were a couple of hiccups to navigate—one caused by me and the other by circumstance.
Challenges This Week
Limited LST: Unfortunately, I accidentally half-snapped a branch during training. While the branch is still attached and seems to be recovering, it limited my ability to continue LST effectively this week.
No Photos: I was on vacation during most of the week, so I wasn’t able to document her progress with pictures this time around.
Progress Despite Setbacks
Despite these challenges, she’s looking healthy and continues to grow vigorously. The snapped branch has been gently supported, and I’ll be keeping a close eye on its recovery.
What’s Next?
Allow the damaged branch to heal naturally—no more training on it for now.
Resume LST cautiously next week to manage her height and improve the canopy structure.
Prepare to monitor her closely as I settle back in and ensure she hasn’t faced any additional issues during my absence.
Conclusion
This week had its ups and downs, but overall, she’s pushing through like a champ. Hoping for smoother sailing next week as I’m back to give her the attention she deserves! 🌿
If anyone has tips for dealing with a partially snapped branch, feel free to share below! 😊

Woche 4 bricht an und es läuft hervorragend! Die Orange Sherbet bekommt diese Woche frischen Boden: eine Mischung aus Bio-bizz All-Mix und Greenhouse-Feeding, perfekt für die letzten Vegetationswochen und blüte. Zudem hat sich die Orange Sherbet sehr gut mit dem Backhefe-Buttermilch-Melasse-Experiment entwickelt, was zu einem starken CO2-Anstieg auf bis zu 1500 ppm geführt hat. 💨 Ich bin gespannt, wie sie sich in der neuen Umgebung entwickeln wird. Auf der anderen Seite explodieren die Frozen Black Cherries förmlich in der Hydroponik! 🌱 Die Entwicklung ist beeindruckend, und ich könnte nicht zufriedener sein mit ihrem Fortschritt. Die Blütephase rückt näher, und ich bin gespannt, wie sich alles weiterentwickelt! Ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden! 🚀
Week 4 is here, and things are going great! The Orange Sherbet is getting new soil this week—a blend of Bio-Beth All-Mix and Greenhouse-Feeding, setting her up perfectly for the final weeks of vegetation and . Additionally, the Orange Sherbet has responded well to the back yeast-buttermilk-molasses experiment, resulting in a significant CO2 increase of up to 1500 ppm. 💨 I'm excited to see how she adapts to her new environment. Meanwhile, the Frozen Black Cherries are absolutely thriving in hydro! 🌱 Their growth has been phenomenal, and I couldn't be more impressed with their progress. The flowering phase is getting closer, and I can't wait to see how everything unfolds! I'll keep you updated! 🚀

1-Starting the week strong, plant is looking good. Not sure if the buds should be bigger or not but according to the strain it’s a 70-80 days flowering time so I still have plenty of time to see those buds fattening up.
2-Added 75W full spectrum LED to increase quality of pictures. In my opinion, totally worth it. Got to see my plant from a different light was amazing. Everything is looking good and the soil is still slightly moist. Probably water tomorrow. Separated all the branches to allow more light to penetrate the middle of the plant.
3-Soil completely dry, water plant with flowering nutrients. The smell seems to be a little stronger today.
4,5,6-No major changes.
