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!

I did run into a few complications that hampered the grow.The 2 P's came into play on this one. PPM and PH I also had an issue with the pump art first but that was corrected quickly. I will grow this strain again in the future😎

Hello Diary, He finished the first week of flowering. Apollo F1 is the smallest on "my little farm", but that's why it's also my favorite. The shape of the plant is round without pronounced main cola. The leaves grow thickly, so from time to time I remove a leaf so that the plant can breathe better. The flowers have started to form little by little, now we will see at what speed. Watering is a little more frequent, this week I added bio flowering booster with one watering. I don't always add supplements when watering, about once a week. The temperature at the Farm has risen slightly, around 28 degrees, while the humidity is around 50%. Here's what it looked like last week. 23/05/2023 - Day 24. Watering. I prepared 8 liters of water, lowered the pH. to 6.0 and added the first two components of the bio flowering booster. I watered all three plants on the farm with that amount. 27/05/2023 - Day 28. Watering and photography. This time I watered with clean water, I just lowered the pH. on 6.0. Apollo F1 - 31 cm That's all for now, see you soon.

Day 6 in flower the back left one has extremely outgrown the other 3. The front right has shown pistils and the other 2 are short and bushy so hoping I have 3 girls. Going to keep an eye on the tall one till it shows sex. Didn't get a chance to prune at all due to being in tiny pots for veg 6 weeks and causing stress and didn't want to over do it with transplanting them soo late I will wait untill week 3 of flower before I prune and keep bending the fan leaves under the lower canopy untill then. The smell is lovely

7/5/25 plant is stretching. Not sure if its preflowering or just being outside in a bigger pot. Im just going to let her grow naturally and see how it turns out. I may end up with just one diary of each strain at the moment. But im also not sure whether im going to be doing indoor or outdoor based on personal circumstances.

Week 8! Day 58: 2L (pH6.8) + 1ml CalMag + 1ml PK13-14 Today I learned that CalMag contains about 5% nitrogen. So, her nutrient solution comes down to about a half dose of 5-13-14 with added calcium and magnesium - kinda. More importantly, I assume it thus would be worth trying to abstain from CalMag just before harvest. Also, she seems thirsty and since her last nutrient solution was a week ago, I figured we might as well try a half dose of PK13-14. I'm aware she's still got the organic feed, but I'm also curious to learn whether this will burn her again - now that she's bulked up. The remainder of the week will probably consist of watering. Day 59: Still damp Decided to try and even out the canopy further. Remaining two highest branches have been pulled outward, light has been lowered. While the highest apex still reaches about 900 PPFD - which is more than ideal - the entire canopy now receives on average 600 PPFD, while slightly turning down the light intensity from 85% to about 80%. Addition: after browsing other diaries; the Northern Light Automatic strain information pages on Growdiaries.com, and RoyalQueenSeeds.com, I noticed that about 10 weeks after germination is her expected harvest time. That's one week out! I'll thus dial down on the nutrition and keep an extra eye on her water consumption. About half of her pistils are still white. If those start to turn rusty and her water consumption slows down, I assume her leaves will also start going yellow. With the nutrition solution of yesterday she should hold out until harvest, so any leaves turning yellow this week won't be caused by a deficiency, I assume. Day 62: Soil is dry but cool to the touch, no water Nothing much going on currently. She's done most of her bulking I assume. While the soil is dry, she's not showing signs of thirst so I'll water her tomorrow. I'm curious whether watering will increase the bud size. Day 63: 2L (pH6.5) bottom water. Opened up the tent about an hour before lights-on to water her with 2L tapwater pH-ed at 6.5. Instead of the regular top watering, I gave her a royal gulp on the soil and poured the rest in her runoff tray. Day 64: Humid, no water. Some extra defoliation of withered leaves. She won't be needing those as we're nearing the last week. There's the sporadic amber coloured trichome here and there. I've picked up advice saying that, when in doubt, you should give her another week or so and check again. Enjoy the last picture of this week, the money shot!

E passata la prima settimana e sono rimasto veramente sorpreso! Non ho mai visto una crescita così veloce è vigorosa in una autofiorente, come da regola una buona genetica alla base è tutto! Queste sono genetiche autofiorenti Veramente di alta qualità, di un altro livello! Adesso parliamo degli sviluppi e cambiamenti.... Una crescita esplosiva in ognuna di loro specialmente nella Strawberry milk and Qookies Remix che sembra essere la più alta e spessa tra tutte (per adesso), tutte stanno veramente molto bene anche perché ho preparato una tabella di nutrizione veramente molto ricca e completa, sto utilizzando tutta la linea connoiseur più tutti gli additivi e stimolatori di advanced nutrients e come sempre, devo dire che il loro lavoro si vede! Potete già vedere in soli 7 giorni una crescita esplosiva (sul substrato) di trichoderma, micelio, e batteri (si vede quando il substrato sembra umido ma in realtà è asciutto), questi sono piccoli segnali che mi fanno capire che nelle loro bottiglie ci sta un vero e proprio ecosistema! Non sto seguendo la loro tabella e neanche i loro ml, ho preparato un alimentazione in base alla mia esperienza e conoscenza, per ora è tutto alla grande ed è fantastico perché penso che le autofiorenti devono avere una germinazione perfetta per poter dare tutta la loro vigorosità nel seguito... Dopo questa partenza, night owl è entrato nel mio cuore perché non è solo una di loro ad essere più veloce e vigorosa ma sono tutte è 4 quindi parliamo che ogni incrocio che fa questo ragazzo deve essere un grande successo 😍!.... Io vi vorrei invitare a tutti a seguire la sua pagina personale Instagram così da poter vedere tutti i suoi crossing , perché sono uno più bello dell'altro! Autopot ancora non l'ho avviato ma ho acceso le pompe ad aria con AIRDOME in ogni vaso in modo che possano avere un po' di ossigeno in più le radici. Per adesso ho avviato il progetto con una lampada Mars hydro ts1000 solo perché ha un buon spettro tendente al bianco ed infatti si e rivelata un successo per la germinazione, ma tra altri 7 giorni cambierò la lampada ed installerò la lampada per il quale ho avviato questo progetto, sto parlando della fantastica EAGLE SERIES E520 di growers republic il quale sono diventato un loro tester è volevo prendermi due parole per ringraziarti tantissimo per il loro supporto e sostegno, sono delle persone fantastiche sempre pronte ad aiutare ed ascoltare il coltivatore (non tutti sono così, tipo con Mars hydro tutto questo lo puoi solo sognare...con loro ho avuto veramente una brutta esperienza infatti utilizzo le loro lampade solo per germinare i semi. Fanno led buoni per il prezzo che offrono ma onestamente il servizio clienti fa veramente piangere!) . Growers republic è una azienda che ascolta il coltivatore e ha un approccio diretto con te ed è veramente molto attenta ad ogni minimo tuo particolare, e volevo consigliare a tutti voi di andare sul loro sito a vedere i loro prodotti perché fanno veramente paura! Lampade led di prima qualità a partire dal design innovativo che si presenta abbastanza massiccio (non come il resto delle aziende che produce led plastificati), lo spettro fa veramente rabbrividire perché ha un IR potenziato è si vede tantissimo! È stata anche progettata per avere la temperatura sotto controllo è non supera i 35c di calore! Sprigiona ben più di 1400 umol/j essendo così una delle lampade più potenti che ho mai provato Potete trovare i led growers republic qui: https://growers-republic.com/ Quindi ricapitolando: Midnight Marathon F4 91 Grapes Strawberry milk and Qookies Remix Hervey Wellbanger Queste sono le genetiche che sto coltivando in questo progetto con Night owl ..... Spero che possa interessare a qualcuno di voi e spero tanto che sia stato di aiuto per qualcuno ! Grazie mille a tutti gli sponsor: Growers republic Autopot Night owl Advanced Nutrients E un grande grazie a tutti il pubblico di growdiaries che è passato di qui lasciando un like per il supporto! Grazie infinite a tutti voi 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼❤️

Hello, fin de semaine 4 de croissance. Toujours une grosse différence entre les 5 plantes. Ce qui m’encourage à travailler la bouture pour les prochaines fois, pour ne plus avoir une telle différence 😞 J’ai donc réalisé un topping sur 3 plantes, les plus grandes. Et aussi une défoliation pour laisser la lumière atteindre les parties basses qui demande à grandir. Ce qui semble plutôt bien fonctionné pour l’instant. Pour le moment il n’y a plus rien à faire, juste les laisser récupérer et se développer. J’avais poussé mon ec jusque 1.7, mais j’ai l’impression que c’est trop fort compte tenu de leur stade, je suis donc repassé à 1.5/1.6. Nous verrons si elles réagisse bien. J’ai aussi changé la lampe. Je suis passé sur la slim600h à 50%, soit 300w à 100cm. Elles semblent apprécier. Voilà c’est tout pour cette semaine... Happy grow...😎

Due to last week BCN leaf change to lighter color, brown and some leaf tip got the burn. So i decision to feed organic Bat guano juice instead of Flower Fuel and Myco+ For Pineapple still small and slow growing rate, And look like just only Bud is growing only. This plant i change to feed Bat guano only same as BCN also. Due to yellow leaf issue, I check soil PH by cheap soil PH meter and found soil PH around 5.5 Looking seem to be problem of ph locked. Before end of this week i decision to fill dolomite around 3 tbs per pot. Hope it will help my plant from nutrient lock and help my plant better on the late of flowering stage. Need see result in near future.
