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!

5.27.25. 4th week of flower! What’s up growers!! This plant was destroyed by me! She was very healthy and strong until I start tying her down! I just went way to much with the ties and now I have a Frankenstein. She has been putting on nice healthy growth and buds growing quick so hopefully she will finish up strong and impress the shit out of me! Thanks for checking out my grow I appreciate it!!

This week has been fun. They've definitely doubled in size and all in all growing good. I did start adding a mild dose of nutrients, the Athena Blended line Grow A & B with 2ml per gallon. The lights are still at 40% and I think I'll leave them there as I'm getting the spacing between nodes I was shooting for. All in all Happy Growing

Everything is going great! On the 48th day of vegetation, we switched the light cycle to 12/12, and for the second week now, our beautiful Golden Sands - 1 has started flowering. She’s been growing rapidly and noticeably increasing in height. We continue to feed her with fertilizers from Xpert Nutrients, and the results are impressive. A huge thank you to Xpert Nutrients for their high-quality fertilizer, which is not only effective but also very easy to use. With such a reliable product, we’re confident that everything will turn out perfectly!

11/30: I harvested the first 6 today, flushed 5 more for the second time, and fed everybody else for the last time. I washed all the branches using the 4-step method ascribed by Doc Bud at High Times/420magazine and many other notable cannabis connoisseurs, with slight modifications: 4 x big plastic totes/bins 8 x ounces of 12% hydrogen peroxide (or 32 ounces of 3%) 2 x cups of concentrated lemon juice 2 x cups of baking soda 10 x gallons of water in each bin Unless your tap water stinks, you're safe to use tap water for the procedure, but I used an inline carbon hose filter to fill my buckets. Bin #1 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the hydrogen peroxide Bin #2 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the lemon juice and baking soda Bin #3 - 10 gallons of water as hot tap water Bin #4 - 10 gallons of cold tap water I was mainly concerned about removing as much lint and cat/dog hair as possible, but also rinsing off any residue left from all the various foliar applications of humic/fulvic acid, kelp, axiom, big bloom, and tiger bloom I did. First, I put my leaf blower on low speed and blasted my plants thoroughly, one at a time, replicating 50-60mph winds for about 10 seconds and watched as a whirlwind of debris and hair flew out the back door. Bud-washing: Pluck any necrotic plant material and any old fan leaves off while they're still on the plant. Then, take a handful of branches and submerge them in Bin #1 for about 30 seconds, agitating it, removing from water, submerging again, agitating, etc...then remove it and let it drip out for a few seconds...then repeat the process with Bins #2-4. Let it drip dry overnight with a little bit of airflow, then dry as you normally would...baskets, boxes, etc.. I hadn't watered these plants in a few days, so they were almost in draught, but after doing this procedure, they were fully hydrated(turgid) and seemed to have brighter colors than before. Nice!😍 12/1: The bottom part of the closet seems empty with only 9 plants in there.. 😟 I cut the harvested plants up and put them into drying baskets in the top of my closet with a small oscillating fan on. I've got the temperature fluctuating between 68f and 75f and the RH is staying between 48% and 52%. To do that, I had to take down the small light in the top of the closet to fit the drying baskets up there. So, I moved the 3 shorter plants still up there down to the bottom and put them on top of buckets. Now the bottom of the closet looks full again!😃 I'm anxious to finish up this grow so I can get busy growing the Fastbuds Fast Flowering Photo Testers!!! When I harvest the next 5, I'll flush the remaining plants really well and that will be all the flushing they'll get..I'll let them dry back out for a few days and harvest them. I've got to make some minor improvements to the garden (adding UV, blue and red/far red booster panels and intake fans) That should put me on track to start germinating them by mid-December if all goes well. 12/3: ...early a.m... The harvested plants are already dry!?!?? And have excellent texture??? Wow..bud washing is for real..roughly 48 hours after I hung them to drip dry, and 40 hours after I put them in baskets in 50% RH/70f conditions with moderate airflow...usually takes 4 or 5 days to get a good slow-dry in the same conditions, so I'm convinced that this must be attributed to the bud-washing procedure. I'm sold! Here's the talley so far: plant #1 - 115g (plus 13g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #2 - 108g (plus 18g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #3 - 119g (plus 15g larf) - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4] plant #4 -  92g (plus 6g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] - the smallest plant in the main area plant #5 - 112g (plus 22g larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] plant #6 -  75g (no larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] - grown in upper area under 200w ...afternoon: I flushed 6 of the last 7 plants for the first time today and harvested 4 more of them. I washed them and hung them to dry.....my dripping wet bathing beauties!😍

Day 127. Oh boy it will be my longest grown plant indoors. This bean is from bagweed, just wanted to show, that from shitty weed found seed you can produce good result, but i screw up with this girl by having no space for her, by giving her to wrong guy ... And now again, i checked temps during my holidays and lowest was 13 , highiest 33 ... Very bad, she is from leafy pheno and that didnt helped for buds and leafy i dont like already, hate triming .... ;) Will do last hard training apart from everyday lst here and there , she will loose a bit of leaves tomorrow before watering just phed water. I never feed after training. Tomorrow she will go to new tent and i start new diary, hands full ;) Happy growing ! Day 128. Girl got small defoliation , up to 50 leaves, now more buds get light, have to prepare her for smaller , where i will fit only one light, otherwise its too hot inside .... All movement postponed for a bit, have to leave town so only phed water for her after new look. She drinks now like 5 liters every 3 days. Day 131 . She is stinky sticky b**ch ;)) Amazing plant, my mini bonza, would want to flaten her up, but in new tent fan has to have space aswel ;) Her new fan is delayed an i quess it will take a week to be redelivered ... Fingers crossed. Heavy feed - done. ;) Day 132. She starts to pack up a bit, maybe it will be something desent again. Girl is under two lights ( quantum boards 2x240) and in a week will stay just under 240 , but in new tight house with better reflection from walls, hope it will even pars , despite power loss .... I think i will smoke first joint on day 160, its almost half of the year, crazy adventure ... Her leaves are too green, so no silica and red leaves stemps doesnt show up, so no cal mag . Think she'll have like 2-3 feeds max in two weeks and then final strech ;)

End of week 7 of flower has come. All 3 plants are doing great. The one tall one has gotten so big it fell over and I had to tie up a bunch of colas. They all smell really good but each one has a slightly different scent to it. The runt is small but has a lot of colas. The one in between I think has the best structure out of the bunch. Almost harvest time.

This is most likely my last update before harvest. More and more trichomes are turning cloudy with about 2-5% Amber. Gave her her last feeding yesterday and I figure there's about a week left. My usual plan is letting the water level drop for a few days then flush when there's 3 days left. A lot of the buds in the middle are ending up fairly small but everything's really dense.

Day 8: i dropped my phone in the bath tub so my photos are very blurry atm :/ besides that she’s doing good. Day 12: she’s a grower not a shower, you’ll se😎 Day 14: had to put support on the stem because i had too much fan power so she started to lean. Will recover in 24/48hrs! We are entering week 3 tomorrow! I see forward to it, I will be topping at the 5th node.
