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!

Things are finally moving along. The greenhouse is getting pushed to next year due to rain every weekend. Still growing the plants next to the location just gonna have to scale back and put two plants in each 65 gallon. They will be trained with a trellis net heavily to compensate.
These girls are up to 16 tops each. Hoping the heavy training will pay off for this pivot

Wonderful aroma in the tent. I do a little stress due to low temperatures at night. I took a small sample :D, everything is as it should.The trichomes are just milky, what will be scary at the finish line...

Again the super soil seems to save them and provide for exponential growth. I could try to up my humidity, which is somewhat low.
But the phenotypes are looking awesomely similar for a no-name brand. This could be a hidden little gem and can't wait to see how they mature.
Meanwhile been fighting gnats, tried to get rid of them with a solution of citric acid and water. It seems to help as a contact poison on the soil, while only being a tiny film, so I just don't have to add any citric coming waterings.
We like them organic solutions with stuff already lying around the house.
Next week I'm going to FIM them and hope this works out better than with my Orange Hill Special grow.
Well Im off for this week but not without thanking @MarsHydroLED again for an awesome light! SP -3000 is a monster light, check it out on Aliexpress Mars Hydro Global Store!

Bueno pues el sábado 4 y el domingo 5 de marzo realice las defoliaciones y el lunes 06/03/23 puse las luces a 12/12 para inducir la floración.
Las autos ya estaban en prefloración hace 1 semana. Son 12 plantas en macetas de 7L con 44 días desde que se empezaron a germinar las semillas.
Uso la gama completa de nutrientes, Boom nutrients
Están bajo la luz del panel LED 780W ResinX de GBLIGHTING
Pretendo poner una malla de scrog y en floración avanzada otra, para sujetar todo bien.

Day 71👋🌱
I started flushing some days befor. I think I’ve got 20 days left but this lady eat a lot of feeding this last weeks so I give some more flushing. Buds looks full of all
What they needs also if now they need to get fat and fat. :) let’s see what’s happen.
Giving ph controlled water at 6.2/6.5, I check TDS to water owerflowing from pot, bringing it to 50ppm from 400.
Now I’ll start checking trichomes every three days, I’d like a 60% white and 40% amber
Day 72👋🌱🌱
Hi all growers, how is going? 😊
I'm at my first real flush for this Orange, i gave 10 lt of ph controled water and was checking ppm from water coming out. i gave water unitl it reach 400 ppm, my water is 200 ppm, i hope i'll bring it to 50 ppm for next flush in 3 days.
i think bud are going to bloom nice this last days befgore harvest, i can feel it :D
Day 74👋🌱🌱🌱🌱
Soil is already quiet dry, smell is increasing rapidly. Today I’ll give another e 1 lt of water and Sunday I’ll do another flush. I think will go up to 90 days. Bud will get fatter and fatter🏆.
Maybe I could have fertilise two times more, but anyway I’d not a big problem, I’ve been feeding them a lot since the beginning so a more long flush won’t be a problem at all.
Can’t wait to the harvest.
Day 77 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Just posting some trichome pictures, waiting to some changement before publishing some new pic of the lady.
Keep washing it with ph controleed water that looks always cleaner, i think i'll be cutting the most high bud some days before the rest of the plant.
Can't wait anymore
Let’se go! ❤️🌱
Any suggestion is really welcome :)😋🌱🌱

Yesterday I wanted to hang the lamp a little lower and unfortunately it fell into a plant. The damage could be greater but it makes me a little sad.
One BigBud looks really beautiful and is slowly turning purple. no one else does that. I also ordered canna terra flores because a few defects are slowly becoming noticeable, especially in the 6 l pots. I am otherwise very satisfied.
I currently water about 2 liters in the 6 liter pots and about 3 liters in the 9 liter pots. I will probably use fabric pots or AirPots less in the future because watering them annoys me so much and they dry out very quickly.

Aquí vamos en la tercera semana se floración 🤙
Mr Hide Seeds dice que las Kritical Red se cosechan a los 60 días y estamos en el día 47, no creo que estén totalmente desarrolladas y listas en 13 días.
Se agregó a la lista de nutrientes C4 de Mills, esto también a modo de prueba y acompañamiento del bioestimulante Everest que ya se venía usando.
La planta más grande y desarrollada está presentando al parecer deficiencia de potasio, seguramente está comiendo mucho. Ya lleva dos días con una cuota más alta y ya presenta mejoría.
Otra planta está muy oscura las hojas, la estamos dejando sin alimento 3 días para ver si corrije.
Las lluvias han parado y se ha estado usando agua del grifo directa sin reposar.
Buenos humos 🚬

Esta semana he terminado con los trasplantes de una de las mesas completa.
He regado las que no están trasplantadas con un total de 20L de agua + Bio Rhizotonic + Bio Vega, para que aguanten hasta que les llegue la hora del trasplante.
También he tratado todo el cultivo, con Propolix diluido en agua y pulverizado sobre las plantas justo antes de que se apaguen los focos, de esta forma evitamos quemaduras en las hojas y le damos una protección extra contra diferentes patógenos.
Las trasplantadas las riego solo con agua + Bio Rhizotonic.

You can tell she is stacking up. I’m hoping she pulls through the heavy rainfall and high humidity as she nears ripening and harvest stage.

The plants are drinking more
Still trying to find the best nutrient feeding schedule.
I noticed the leaves were turning light green after i took the nitrogen level down so i put it back up a little.
I defoliated this week only removing the leaves in the middle and top that are blocking other bud sites.
took only a few off each plant so the plant doesn't stress out.
I left the bottom larger leaves on the plant so it takes the nutrients from the bottom first before the rest of the plant when its deficient,
That way only the bottoms will turn color instead of my whole plant.
Thats just the way i like to do the defoliation but i know everyone has their own ways :)
Next week I will defoliate once again.

She is getting fat! What a great plant she is - again, little to no deficiencies, other than some light burn but I could not complain to have such strong genetics for my first ever grow! Trichomes are not too cloudy, so still a while to go but what an AUTO!

Had some crazy root growth this week and have put the girls in their final 11L pots already. They became rootbound in their last pots within 5 days of being potted up and started showing rootbound behaviour such as spots on leaves and droopy behaviour, also soil was drying out super fast. At first I was panicking about leaf septoria, had that before :/. Only when i checked the roots that I confirmed it was cos they were rootbound.
I'm hoping this isn't an issue within the grow bags. I've never really played around with potting up before as mainly grown autos until now.
Topped the girls a few days ago and have done some LST today to spread them ready for the scrog.
Thanks for following :)

So.... what can i say about this grow so far?
Its a Love & Hate kind of grow relationship 😂🤦🏽
On one hand, this plant is Hugh, branchy, and grows like crazy, every grower dream!🤩
On the other hand it gives me hell!😤
This Og kush phenotype is super sensitive, despite the fact that a lot of it was my fault as well...
At first it was the sensitivity to the bright light,
Then i realised the EC was sky rocking high!
Apparently i i gave the plant lots of PH down, which raised the EC levels at around 1900! Which gave the plant a crazy nutrient burn.
Luckily i found the problem, and in the past few days i lowered the EC gradually.
Anyway, despite all the issues I'm having with that OG Kush, she's keep on going!💪🏽💚
As you can see the plant is very big, the buds getting bigger by the day, they are super sticky already... I had to defoliate her for the second time with gloves on haha,
I do hope that from now on it will be a smooth ride until harvest,
crossing my fingers 🤞🏽🌱
