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!

Royal haze in the 11th week It's supposed to be a 12 week finisher but think it may go a week longer I've just done a major defoliation to allow all the bud sites to get nice and fat , I had started to cut the nutes down but have put them back upto 4ml a and b per litre again , the 6 photoperiod are on 2ml a and b and 4 ml per litre of rhisotonic , out of the NL , Wedding gelato and zkittles the zkittles has been the best strain so far

Another great week of bud growth and terpenes production. Think I'll be finished half was through week 9, or at the end of week 9. So far no signs of any hermaphrodite traits. Wish I started flower with a little less light intensity, as I feel that's caused the buds near the top to slightly fox tail, as the ones lower down look abit of a better shape, although smaller.

Insane color, insane structure, insane sugar and some very intense smell.
They are nearly ready its only about some days maybe 3-4 days until harvest i guess.
Only watering with plain rain water, dont actually flush but put the clear water into my tent so they take a bath.
My next update is when they are dry

4/8 - They are doing great. PPFD at 800. Debating if I want to do CO2 this grow, because I could easily get 1000 PPFD out of this light. That means adding a dehumidifier to keep a sealed environment, but don't think there's enough of a cost benefit. Might just add more far red at lights on and lights off to try and get a little more vegetative stretch before I switch over to 12/12. Clock is ticking. Mother-in-law shows up 6/15, and I'll want it chopped by then.
4/8 - on further calculation, I'm switching to flower today. Never switched this early before, but we'll see how it goes, eh?
4/9 - prepping for vacation.
Bought new 10 gal Roughneck storage container, mixed new nute mix 2:1:2. EC 1.40 with 0.3 tap water. 11ml of pH down to get PH from 6.4 to 5.8. Ditching the auto fill. Too high risk for flooding without flare fittings. Don't trust cheap-ass quick connect push fittings.
4/10 - turned off "seedling vpd mode" which kept humidity artificially high.
Turned on 2nd bank of LED lights, so system is pulling about 370W with lights on, still significantly dimmed down. Turned on light cooling circ fan, which is a sealed aluminum labyrinth tied to two 4"vents. Although, almost all the heat this lamp generates is from radiation, not thermal loss of the LEDs, so the heat sink is barely warm. Lights up to 16" over canopy to allow growth while on vacation. Ppfd at canopy 800. Room temp 81, humidity 73. Auto water time is 30 sec per pot.

Look what I did to my girl, poor lady. But i'm sure she will bounce back, but with all that leaf shit It's hard to properly tie them down.
So i broke off a total of 2 branches (yellow tape) and managed to attach one back to it. Otherwise she took all the stress LIKE A CHAMP - yet. We'll see.
To be honest, i was quite lazy with her the last days, it was pretty stressful but look at her, she is basically growing herself!
As long as you can cool it, have some sort of system to change water and some, basic nutrients and ph- DWC is the easiest system for me, 100%
Look at the roots and i did not fill up the reservoir for like half a week, so a lot of it wsd exposed to air for a longer time still she is growing and growing.
Two more weeks and i might have a problem with her in flower, because she will drink so much water the reservoir won't hold a long time haha.
Almost forget, i need to add either more fertilizer /ml or give extra calmag. will probably do both kekw
Cheers guys! (whoever reads this, this is your sign, get high 👌)

Very good week! First two space mangos got the chop.
Still have 3 more to go. One of which will definitely be chopped this week, the other two, may be next week before they finish up.
These girls smell like fruit loops! Amazing frosting, and density. Very much looking forward to the dried and cured product!! Straight PH water. Not a flush per say, but juat water. No more nutes for these pretty ladies.
Loving the fade!

The grape is still a little slower than her sister but was last time and she’s destined to be a smaller plant it’s in her genetics! Her max height is 120cm and that’s what I’m aiming for! The purple urkle is thriving! She’s growing an inch a day or so and producing so many extra branches! Thanks to dynomyco! I have added a new light in there too! Mars hydro TSW2000 so will get a better yield! I literally have no light loss! I’ll be flipping anytime soon now! As my elder girls are at 6 weeks nearly! I’ve also added a transparent PNG logo for WeedSeedsExpress for anyone else growing there strains just save the picture directly! And you can overlap it on videos and photos!

Well I'm not really sure where to start......Got a lot of work done around the garden this week. Got the first load of boards up on the fence and I've been bracing as I go. Grass all trimmed down and some of the inside of the plants, it was a mosquito magnet in there, wasn't fit to be in, it has gotten better. I gave them what I had left of Gaia Green 4-4-4, which was 3 cups each a little shy of what I wanted to put in so I have another bag coming here very shortly and we will top it up then.So far between everything in the garden right now we have went thru 20kg of 4-4-4, minus 6 cups for the indoor peyote super soil. Also getting some trellis as I thought I had enough from last year but cant seem to find it anywhere. They're getting pretty big now kinda makes me worry a bit, never thought they would be this big.....
Purple Punch, #1: 73 inches, #2: 76 inches, #3: 78 inches
Orange Sherbert, #1: 76 inches, #2: 72 inches, #3: 69 inches
I got some lady bugs today and have released them. I'm hoping to be able to pick up enough boards next time I come home that I can finish closing it in. I won't be closing in the south side, I'm just going to be using the cage, please don't make me regret this...... I would really like to see the stretch set in like NOW but thats not going to happen, maybe next time I'm home we'll start to see flowers, if they don't get wrecked in the mean time, gotta get my wall up!!!!! I'm also going to be setting up an automated curing system this week, I'll have pictures up next week.
