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!

All plants were thinned out a little below. Since not much light was able to reach these shoots. Now we give them a week or two before we go into bloom.

Well I got my Mars TS1000 and 2x2 tent and I'm replacing the TS1000 with HLG 135w QBB288 V2 rspec! I like the TS1000 but I wanted something to handle flower better and I've ready so many solid reviews for HLG products, plus they are local to me in Canada. I also decided I need some more room so I'm swapping my tent from a 2x2x4 to a 2x2x4.7 for a bit of extra height. The plant seems to be loving the new space, my new baby (RQS Royal Cheese freebie) is growing a lot faster under this light, new diary coming up!

It was finally time to harvest her, what good times we had with her. Amazed with how beautiful this plant is, how easy to manage and train and how rewarding Orange Hill Special is. So we said our thanks and goodbye, thanked her for all the joy she gave while growing her. I realize more and more how I love growing them even more than the end-product. It takes my mind of all going on for a while, in my miniature jungle world in the attic. Im sure all of you just sometimes sit there and watch them, in wonder, dreaming away with a good buzz on, watching them wave in the wind of the fans. So with a heavy hart I apologize, play them their last music, sit with them and feel them and smell them, watch the glistening of the cristals. In the end we had 209 gram dried Orange Hill Special, I will know the total of the grow, in a few days, since the final big whopper still has to dry: my XtraKush, be sure to check the harvest of that one *in couple of days) and see a one-dollar seed outperform two 10 dollar seeds. I probably go over 500 grams for the total grow, which would be 1.6 grams per watt. Big success! Consider an SP-3000 for your next light, you won't be disappointed! Check www.mars-hydro.com for the latest discounts! Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting us try out your light, it made this successful grow possible! Greetings and all the best! Thank you to our friends here, our followers and the whole Growing Diaries community for just being there. Big Hug, Sunshine and BioBuds

Day 65. Girls are okish, calmag mini def is still after me, now even Gorillas show off some reddish leaves stems, hope they just cant keep up with speed and amount... In flowering its bad to have unhealthy plants, so CalMag today and full bloom tommorrow eve. Girls started to drink really fast. Control garden is my joy now, Outside Cookie is a pity tho.... We shall see.... In plans to raise lights back to 60 cm from canopy, girls stretched a bit, need to adjust and i just cant wait couple more weeks till first round of defoliation :))) hope to do it on day 18 of flower latest.. Canopy is too packed, need better air and light. Thinking to get heavy artillery out, epsom salt dresing :)) thats my last hope to fight that reddish-violet and make it green again. It takes two weeks to kick inn, but works always for me... Day 66. Girls are happy, hungry and in full blast. Control garden has such healthy green its hard to describe... Cookies on other hand streched as f@%k, will have to lolitop them really high, so no proper grow and small harvest, taste is the only thing that can save them... Worthless for now.... All girls streched like 5 cm in one day, they loved CalMag. Lights been raised like 7 cm. Lets see... Day 68. Changed plans a bit, girls got silica acid with plain water and they loved it! They are happy campers and grow really fast, now only to have patience till defoliation. Girls are super packed, will have to care about them 2x more than avarage, thinking to plug in conditioner, but its still coldish weather outside, so hope to last two more weeks without that beast, no tv or orher aplaincies while this beast runs :)))) Day 68, evening. First time checked my girls after light switch to flower and i am lost, will they make it? Canopy height is like 30-35 cm, they had small lolitopings on lower levels during vegetation ( see week 8 first video just mute it, they where striped like this on week 5 as well) in video its even hard to see, but its jungles!!!! Have one fresh air fan, double fan set with carbon out, inside two standing fans and powerful conditioner, will i make it with only defoliation or should i clear them hard aswell? Never growed such low and dence plants before. Please advice or show diary to read. Plus a 30 days old Incredible Bulk, almost no feed, no germination or transplanting, straight to soil and no direct light above. Hope you will see this same strain grower :) Peace.

Vamos familia octava semana de floración de estás apollo black cherry de SeedStockers. Que ganas tengo de ver el progreso de esta variedad, las plantas están sanas, se ven con buen color. Ya estamos entrando en la recta final. La cantidad de agua cada 48h entre riegos. Esta semana quitamos ya los nutrientes de la gama Agrobeta. Las plantas están bastante bien subió algo la temperatura esta semana pero por el momento no les afectó, a ver si consigo bajar un poco la temperatura estas próximas semanas y acabamos todo bien.. Estas próximas semanas veremos como avanzan, terminan de engordar y madurar las flores.

Day 36 Ladies look great on the start of week 6. Yesterday’s feed went in well and they both seem stretching their nodes. Day 37 Watered them with water only today. They look happy and healthy. The red stems on the taller lady are genetics as kindly confirmed by Fast Buds. 🔝 Day 39 Water day today / mixed different cocktails for both with specific needs. Run off Ph and EC improving :) Day 40 All looking good today 💚 - both plants have some slight rust spots on some leaves but I think it’s Cal/Mag deficiency and yesterday I both gave them some. Today the spots seem to have remained the same so maybe it’s solved. Day 42 Ladies are stretching their tops during these days and filling up slowly but steadily. All looking good till now for the Gelato Sisters 👯‍♀️

Todavía estamos en el ciclo 16 horas luz, 8 oscuridad, estiraron bien y ensancharon bastante también, el color es verde sano. Se nota que los nutrientes de la marca Agrobeta hacen sus funciones.

C’est une super bonne semaine, ça avance, je continue d'arroser à l’eau, un peu minérale et beaucoup du robinet. Ça donne un bon ph mais les feuilles continuent de jaunir et de tomber pour certaines... je crois qu’on approche de la fin. Je vais tester, si je le reçois, le monster bud booster pack. Ce sont des engrais liquides avec du pk 13/14 , un truc pour les racines et du sucre... je devait l'essayer là mais il y a eu une erreur sur ma commande. J’ai reçu les engrais en granulés que j’ai déjà mis au début de cette culture. Je devrais recevoir ça dans la semaine prochaine.
