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!

- Removed stakes, training mains with periodic bending.
- Noticing she's very short, internodal space is really small as well.
- Unsure whether to trim out bottom growth on the first set of branches.
7/13/2021
- Did a major trim to really expose all the new potential colas.
- Chopped and dropped fan leaves directly onto the soil to be used as a leaf mulch.
- Added some fan leaves I had drying to the mulch layer.
- Thinking of flipping the lights in about 2 weeks.
7/14/2021
- Re-staked mains to expose more tops.
- Continuing leaf tucking for even canopy.
- Strategizing feeding regiment for coming light flip.
- Can't kill the residual LABs in the sprayer I've been using for my kelp solution, and it keeps fermenting out butyric acid. Upon a quick google search, it looks like indole-3-butyric acid is an auxin. Whether or not that matches what's in the sprayer is unknown.
- Any pest pressure I expected to experience has been very light, almost non-existent. A few flies here and there as to be expected with organics, but not to the point of full blown infestation. For soil that's basically bare on top, very unexpected.
7/14/2021
- Performed a major pre-flowering morning trim.
7/17/2021
- Fed her some bloom fertilizer as I expect I'll be flipping the lights next week.

the girls are starting to look good! my tent is running a little hot the past couple of days though, 84 flirting with 85. I took the white light out, it runs to hot. now my question is how much light should be provided to accommodate 5 plants in a 2x2x5 space. I went to a hydro shop last night to get some green pads to add some c02 and homeboy told me to drop a light that 2 -300 watt lights should be sufficient for the space. my temps did drop down to the 79-80 degree range and that's from dropping 1 light. so im thinking im just going to ride with it like that for now. starting week 3 in a couple of days and we will start on the c-4 from mills.

Girls will get a feed of 400 ppm 0.8 ec of Massive Bloom Formulation, 600 ppm 1.2 ec of Flora Nova Bloom, and 200 ppm 0.4 ec of Floranova grow for a grand total of 1200 ppm 2.4 ec.
Girls are stacking, node spacing is close. Smell is amazing and she is a very healthy big bush.😍

9/1/23 - Day 80 - Things are going well, the buds are growing everyday still. A couple more weeks!
9/3/23 - Day 82 - I snuck in about 1 min before the lights turned on. I got some cool shots up above.
I also snuck in a cool photo from the base of the plant looking up.
9/5/23 - Day 84 - I took a few microscope shots of the THC. They are still very much see through so there is still a couple more weeks to go. I also got a mockup of the hanging system I will be using see pics above.

Hi guys,i have some news for you and of course we are celebrating 👻🎃
1)Now the lamp works at 50% plus we are testing the sunset/dawn function. In fact, it simply reduces the power by 25% two hours before turning off and the same with turning on. I don’t know what this will give us, but the understanding that we are closer to nature warms the soul☺️.
2) It turned out that all the time I pour increased psh 6.4-6.8. The point here is that I prepare the compote in advance, respectively, I also lower the psh in advance, and for some reason in my sick head I was completely confident that Plagron ph down would keep the psh at the value I needed, but I was wrong. (Now it’s worth thinking about which of us is still down). Because of this jamb, we have a couple of unpleasant things, the first and most unpleasant thing is a delay in development, as well as all sorts of dirty tricks on the sheets, which they kindly told me that I was doing something wrong. Photos are attached.
3) Changed the composition of the compote. StartUp was removed. It was replaced by the Plagron Coco a+b and Fish Force base.

People of the ganja world, here we are, he second plant has gone down, we apologise to anyone affected by PTSD from the two towers, it was not our intention to harm you with the similarity.
Our Buddy Buddha from the start to the end lived its life next to Powell, they were close! Now that the final curtain has been drawn.. or tent flap, it is with a sad heart that we at the "In the Closet with Two Strains" Studio will be saying goodbye. She was never the most impressive plant, kept feeling like she would bloom more but the conditions were never truly right for her.
Both plants had their branches sliced at the stem and large leaves removed, this purposely slowed drying down to maximise end flavour. They were both washed in cleaning pools to prepare them for their final journey in the tent.
With a sad heart we wish you farewell Buddy, we will see you and Powell soon... IN OUR SMOKE REPORT!
Yes it is time to get these ladies dried and ready to serve their purpose, life is a party, so let us have one!
See you soon folks!

She’s a beast! As bushy as my gold glue from last round but 3x the heigh and size. I’ve had to go in for defol every week, and she’s still filling back up by the minute. A vast majority of the bracts are beginning to turn purple at the tips, leading me to believe this girl might turn purple before she’s done! Smells like sweet fruit and skunky cologne. Starting to fade here and there, so I’m increasing feed strength to mid-flower and letting her ride it out.

Good afternoon gromies 😄 😇 😊
Week 9 was absolutely crazy. All my girls start to achieve an about high.
Gelato had to be renamed to "Uber-lato".
Answer is on the photos and movies 😅
I never ever have/had to deal with so huge plant, she surprised me and coals bending had a place to expose them for light.
They grow over a LED canopy 😅 😅 😅
At least high of 170cm is not a joke, can be even a little bit more but after bending procedures is hard to give a precise measure 😶
She is a monster 😇 😇
Have a good night, You Lovely Girls Growers 😇 😄 😉

Привет садоводы
Началась пятая неделя
вроде все впорядке , вот только верхние листики начали портиться
не знаю с чем это связано
либо лампа была слишком близко , либо недостаток или переизбыток питательных веществ
