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!

Regué el Lunes con Vampimelaza y bokashi de flora dw Vamp. (25 ML) Y una tapa de bokashi.
También utilicé de enmienda en Vampkashi y las micorrizas de Namasté.
Hice una defoliación nueva y saque todas las hojas que tapaban los cogollos principales.
La Blue auto mazar está poniéndose cada vez más maciza.

Strong smell starting to come off this fine lady. She slowed down growth before going in to flower but seems to be bouncing back the lemon skunks and tranquil have surpassed this fine indca in height

The grow on my Big Blue Cheese was beautifully satisfying. Not one deficiency or problem to report with her, she loved to eat as much as you gave her. Plus the size of her stalk and branches were on point, a perfect plant from the beginning. I performed LST, super cropping, and topping to create this 12 top beauty. Big Blue Cheese is a 8-10 week flower strain that I harvested on day 64, along with a 6 week veg to create this perfection. Recommended over and over for all growers with that sweet tooth craving 💯🔥💪000

Everyone says the plants smell amazing but I can't smell them! fml. They're supposed to smell like guava candy. Just gotta rest up more till my smell is back, honestly the worst thing about covid. Started flush this week, going to flush for 10 days including a 48 hour darkness period. The darkness period is when the buds can reproduce the trichome coating. It's normally used as sunscreen for light protection but much is burned off during intense day times. This is why it's best to harvest after a period of darkness.

Nov. 5 - start of week 6 and she’s Bushn like mad! The fim hasn’t developed as expected at the top growth tip but the undergrowth has sprung up markedly after some selective defo. She’s lookn great and should have some more photos and video up in the next couple days. THANKS FOr checkn er out!👊👍😎
Nov. 6 update - pulled down a few new growth tips and clipped out a little undergrowth. She lookn like a mess and I love it. Still no real plan as to how I’m gonna train er out yet. Thanks for taken my!😎
Nov. 7 update - moved up the tie on what was the main growth tip. She’s bursting out now and just trying to keep the growth height in check with her kush neighbour (cough - won’t happen and my money’s on the kush😉).
Nov. 10 update - she’s still bushy as hell. Trimmed a fan leaf to uncover another tip, pulled down and spread out the others including the main stem. Keeping with the 3:1 nute vs. Calmag regimen and no signs of burn at all. LOOKn good!👍
Background
This one is gonna be fimmed out and defo’d as a comparative to its manifolded kush sister. They’ll spend a first week or so under a cfl assembly while the last harvest dries out in the cabinet. This is our 2nd grow of an NL strain and this one should be typical of NL in terms of resilience. That said, she’s a former cup winner so we’re hopeful for supreme quality this time around. 👍 Gonna jack up the nute shed. and supplements heavy throughout the grow in the hopes of really testing the limits of my grow space (approx. 2sq/ft). With the coco medium we’re hoping for that 20% bump in yield as well. THANKS for check'n er out

Finally got my blue dream from seedsman.
Winner of the contest seeds of knowledge
Here it is finally growing this beautiful lady
I gotta say this one was almost broken, it arrived very well but since it was hidden as requested when I open the box with a razor to take out the seeds Packs my bad accidentally cut a tiny side of the seed Shell which I noticed and place into germination and now she is here with us and we are very happy to welcome her to our family
Day 1 Tuesday Place into germination
Fully at dark until next morning from 8AM
Started to get light since she is a photoperiod
At the end of the Day went and hid it in a box very well so its dark
Day 2 Same process took her out and start again sunny Day for her indoors of course
Day 3 Thursday finally got her showing its cotyledons doing the same process :3
And im guessing it goes with the sun
At the end of the Day got to give her enough darkness she is a feminized seeds which I have to make her flower after idk some time so I will try and see how much she can grow and get STRESS for yield and potency, thanks a lot for your support
Happy Friday btw 👽🌱
****
DAY 5
My girl is a monster and needs to recover
Taproot was coming out of peatmoss and I didnt even notice so had to transplant to a
Bigger pot soon, since she is not an auto she is way too fast cuz taproot was out in the bottom so I had to take the net out of the Peat moss so roots van expand comfortably but accidentally broke the tiny edge while sliding with lil to no pressure and it sucks but it was stuck and it was either that or just plant it like that but well probably I should have left her be but anyways she is young I think she will develop more since she is in a better soil mix now than just Peat moss, wish me luck cuz I really hope she is better and gets to grow huge, we will see at the process right
This is whats all about
Lets do our best tho
We will!
Enjoy & happy growing everyone ☺️

I am finding it difficult to get my camera to take photos and videos with the proper colour hence the double videos! It is unreal how thicc these are getting!! They smell wonderful! The other two plants are starting to show a bit more of their red/purple colours too! Noticing a bit of potassium stress from feeding but since they are nearly finished (I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE THAT!) I am only going to pull back a bit. They just need to survive another 14-21 days by the looks of them!

Learned a lot from this grow and am very happy with the results. Pulled 2.8 Oz and 1.1 Oz of trim/popcorn buds in a one gallon pot. Definitely wont be doing that again, but had a lot of fun throughout the entire process. Going to be starting another grow soon! Very excited for that.

Had a bit of a cat-tastrophy this week. I left my tent open to go and fill a bucket of water, came back and zipped it up. What I didn't know is that the cat got in. Not 5 minutes later I can hear all sorts of shit moving around so I came in to find I had zipped him and and he went bonkers and bent almost every branch on the Skunk. So I had to do emergency tie jobs, but I ended up losing 2 medium colas and 1 small one. Could have been much worse if the skrog net wasn't there to stop them from snapping. Injuries look like bent plastic straws, so I'm going to be watching her closely to see if she herms from that massive amount of stress. Some of the pics have cat hair in them, thank the little brat.
Anyway, Skunk is a 45-50 day finisher so I'm going another week and then she gets the chop. Lots of microscope videos today and finally found an amoeba. Also something moving in an egg...what is it? That's at 400x so I think it's a nematode egg based on what I found online. If you look closely at the super zoomed in trichome shot, you can see the reflections of other trichomes...just fucking epic.👏
All the food stops now, too much in the soil for her to start senescence. Nothing but water and FFJ now. New pistils are still coming in so who knows, maybe she'll keep going a few more weeks.

Permant marker the one seedling I could not be more happy with. It has a distinct different look to it than any other plant in the tent with strong growth going on. I'm sad about the other seedling thou the 1st set of leaves were kinda deformed and it has like a spiral thing going on where new growth comes from. Hopefully it comes back around, I always like seeing atleast 2 phenos of a strain I feel it gives you a better idea of what a strain is.
It's looking like a good start to a week the plants are strong they are getting to the point I can let the dried dry out completely. I'm thinking by the end of this week the plants will be starting to be sold.
Last week I put all the plants into my bigger 2x4 tent with my medicgrow mini sun 2 the 500w version. Only a few of the plants were ready for that light. Seems like the only plants that really have good resistance and have a strong start are the weedseedsexpress.com seeds. Shout out to weedseedsexpress.com for the strong plants.
I ended up putting all the plants back into my 2x2 tent with the 55w amazon light it has alot more blue light in its spectrum. It's kinda weird b4 I switched the plants to the 2x4 tent they were getting 220umol under my amazon 55w led then when I put them under the 500w light 25% strength about 50in from plants and they were getting only about 195umol in that tent but it was stressing most the plants. I assume a larger light has more side lighting hitting the plants. I think when useing larger lights it's good to measure umols from the top but also coming from the sides. I think durring seedling stage they only need about 50% the umols coming from the side the plants as the top is receiving.
When I put the plants back in the small tent about the same umols as they were getting b4 the switch and they were still a little stressed. So for a few days I put the small light at the top the tent giving them 100umols for a few hrs then 130umols the rest the day.

I'm excited to report that the flowering phase has officially begun, with only T-55 days/60 days left to go! 🌸🌿 Currently, my lights are set to 50% intensity, but I plan to gradually increase them to 75% over the next few days. 💡✨
I'm happy to say that everything is looking great in the grow room, as I've managed to dial in all the necessary parameters. I will continue to tuck the tops for the next two weeks to ensure optimal growth and yield. 🌱👌
As for my latest consideration, I'm thinking about purchasing exhale CO2 bags. I've never used CO2 before, but I'm eager to give them a try and see how they affect my ladies. 🛍️🌿💨
Stay tuned for more updates as my grow progresses, and feel free to share any tips or suggestions in the comments below! 😎📝💚

Day 6 of Flower: Unexpected Setback 😔🌸
Today, I received some unfortunate news that has left me feeling quite disheartened. One of my fellow growers, who is cultivating the same strains from the same pack as I am, encountered a distressing situation. One of his Queens unexpectedly hermaphrodited during week 3 of flowering. This revelation has placed me in a difficult predicament, causing me to question whether I should continue with the identical strains or abandon them altogether. 🚫⚡️🤔
Currently, there are four of us involved in this collective venture. Two of us, including myself, are in the initial week of flower, while the remaining two are at week 3 and 4 respectively. Fortunately, the last individual seems to be progressing smoothly with their plants, as everything appears to be thriving in their garden. 🌿👥💚🌱
Let's see how this situation unfolds and continue supporting one another through the challenges of our growing journey. Stay tuned for more updates! 🌸🌿🌱

The cannabis plant is generally growing well and is progressing as expected during the flowering stage.
Despite the positive overall growth, brown spots have appeared on some of the leaves and I dont really know what it is.
While the appearance of brown spots is concerning, the overall health of the cannabis plant remains good. With careful monitoring and appropriate adjustments, the plant should continue to develop successfully.
It will be exciting to see how the plant progresses as it matures, even if its growth rate is somewhat slower than expected.
