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!

Has been 3 weeks since my last post due to holiday.
The wedding cake was a bit delayed in grow because my PH meter was broken so I was assuming my PH was correct while in actuality it was too low.
The scrog net is covered for about 60%
wanted to play it safe because I’m not sure how much it will stretch.
The clock has been set on 12/12 yesterday.
Expect to see some flower growth in 2 weeks.

The strain has proven to be extremely sturdy compared to the autoflower version. The smell has been a bit problematic. Some terpenes just can't seem to be tamed even with a brand new carbon air filter. I hope this pays off in terms of aroma quality :)

Veg22, riego con 3.0 EC y pH 5.9, drenaje promedio de 5.8 pH y 2.6 EC(muy bien), primer riego con Sensizym para limpiar un poco las raíces, y este será el último riego de vegetación con Voodoo Juice, Tarantula y Piranha.
Se hizo una pequeña defoliación de las hojas abanico más bajas y se volvió a ajustar el LST, ya van tomando la forma final.
Veg23, creciendo bien.
Veg24, se mide la temperatura de las hojas 22°C y se compara con la temperatura del indoor 23°C, con una humedad de 50% RH, la calculadora arroja un valor de VPD=1.24 kpa, lo que está dentro del rango óptimo.
Veg25, hoy toca una pequeña defoliación y probaré también hacer un último apical en 2 o 3 plantas a modo de prueba.
Al final, tomé un gran riesgo, y hice varios apicales extra y una defoliación más grande de lo que tenía en mente, tengo fe que resultará bien 😎👌
Veg27, riego con 0.8 EC y pH 6.0, drenaje de 6.0 pH y EC 2.0, se están alimentando y creciendo bien, quedan casi 2 semanas para pasar el fotoperiodo a 12/12, espero que crezcan suficiente para esa fecha.
Veg28, un par de hojas de 2 plantas presentan mordidas tipo oruga, revise y no encontré nada, aplique spray insecticida, espero no siga pasando. A parte de eso siguen creciendo bien, quedan un poco más de 10 días para el paso a 12/12.

Day 21 of flowering more defoliation. Added 7 tablespoons of rock phosphate to each container. House is starting to smell like fruit infused gasoline despite the two carbon filters and Ona gel all over the place.

😫PRIMO OVERFERT SENZA AVER DATO NULLA ASSURDO...solo acqua e sono cariche scure ora sono palesemente in over...
procederò ancora per altri 10 giorni di acqua
il topping a funzionato bene da come si vede nel video ora faro riposare per 15 giorni e poi lancio in flow
14/05/2021
la jungla sembra crescere ora dovrò fare un pò di pulizia defogliare dalle foglie piu grandi e lollipoppare per bene....
sono solo un pauroso di togliere le foglie grandi (foglie primarie)
al momento zero fertilizzanti ancora troppo scure
18/05/2021
la sera del 18 a un giorno da un mese di vegetazione in growbox ho lollipoppato e potato i rami i inutili....
ho dovuto anche fare una rotazione di piante in quanto non sono uniformi nel crescere....
ho riempito il bidone da 30 litri e mi sono accorto che le baby ora bevono molto
pur troppo sono ancora in forte stress e overfert non capisco da cosa provenga in quanto non ho usato nei fertillizzzante....
vedremo oggi 21 come staranno ora posto le foto del 19 maggio giorno in cui fanno un mese e sono ancora 40cm aime qualcosa sta rallentando la crescita
e arrivato il filtro a carboni e pesessantissimo speriamo che la mia box lo regge

Day 29 - Topped both ladies at the fifth node and removed any growth below. Growth exploded since transplant and first dose of nutrients.
Day 30 - Watered both ladies with around 100ml of water. They recovered from the topping and look as healthy as can be. Very happy with progress.
Day 32 - Misted both ladies.
Day 33 - Watered both ladies with around 250ml each. Increased dosage slightly from last feed to see how they take it.
Day 35 - Misted both ladies to keep them hydrated.
Maria is doing well, showing vigorous growth. Planning to top her again next week and remove any growth below the topped nodes.
Juanita has fallen behind, new growth points seem to be growing sideways. Keeping an eye on her progress, hopefully she turns out ok. Not planning to top her again until normal growth resumes, do not want to stress her out.

Hey growmies, another week and here we are.
The flower structure as you can see in the pictures is crazy in this strain. Long colas l, filles with flowers. If this led fixture I'm using for the first time performs, im about to have baseball bats of weed. I'm hopping it knows there name is not only banana, but FAT too.
The smells are sweet and fruity.
The ec are at 0.95. 0.25 of the water plus 0.7.
See you guys next week

Entramos en la segunda semana desde la germinación con muy buenas sensaciones. Durante esta semana hemos realizado el trasplante a maceta final de 10 litros, buscando que las raíces empiecen a colonizar todo el sustrato cuanto antes.
Al inicio estábamos regando con una EC bastante baja, y al tratarse de sustrato de coco, las plantas comenzaron a mostrar ligeras carencias nutricionales, algo habitual cuando el aporte se queda corto en esta fase. Por este motivo hemos decidido ajustar los riegos, subiendo progresivamente la EC hasta 0,9, a la que las plantas están respondiendo de forma positiva.
Las condiciones ambientales se han mantenido algo frescas, con temperaturas máximas de 22 °C y mínimas nocturnas de 18 °C, manteniendo siempre un entorno estable.
También hemos hecho un cambio completo del set up de cultivo. Ahora trabajamos en un espacio de 120×60×180 cm, equipado con una luminaria Spider Farmer SF2000, junto con sistema de extracción y ventilación completos de Spider Farmer, mejorando notablemente la circulación de aire y el control del clima.
Seguimos utilizando nuestros fertilizantes base A y B Coco de B’Cuzz (Atami) y, como extra, en el último riego de esta segunda semana hemos añadido Rootbastic para potenciar el desarrollo radicular.
Tras estos ajustes, las plantas se muestran más activas y con mejor color, así que continuamos atentos a su evolución 🏻🌿

Dropped hours to 17 to get closer to the 15 we will have outside in a few weeks.
A week of battles for this tent. Lotta pest activity. Bulb mites and Nematodes (never going to have regular perennial flowers and dahlia bulbs in the tent again), lessons learned.
Active pest strategies tried:
- listerine / water soak
- Neem oil / water soak
- Dr. Bronner soap / water soak
- worm castings to boost balanced microbial life
- insect Frass to provide chitin
- diatomaceous earth top dress
- mosquito Dunks prior to organic amendments to deal with any eggs/larvae in soil

Week 16
Compared to last summer; heat waves, dry conditions, pest, predators: the situation is stable optimal. Major part of the time it’s sunny, sometimes cloudy and windy with
24 to 26 degrees (top temperatures).
Less heat (+ humidity after storms) = Less insect pests 👍🏼
Preflowering well engaged. Near the point of stretching stagnation : ✊🏼Welcome to stag 3: Flowering. Seedling ok….Vegetative stage ok (despite of a violent Ph stress)…
Day light: 6h40/21h37 = 14h57 (-2 minutes)
Watering & Nutrients
-BioBizz Cocktail: Root juice + Bio Heaven + Bio Grow + Calmag
-additives: Humic/Fulvic + Root Juice + Calmag + Cannazym
Sprayed:
-Fish Mix + Alga Mic
Soil amendment:
-Bat guano (GuanoDiff 🇫🇷) NPK 3/6/10: on top of soil.
At this point I’m a little bit too optimistic… it’s almost the middle of the session: preflowering is engaged, so I count a maximum of 10 or 12 weeks till now ( all plants are Indica dominant except the Gorilla Glue#4 ): the session is under control, the environment too. Now it’s question of time, nutrients and vigilance.
Sleepy Joe is healthy with a dynamic growth: good genetic 🤓👍….
Training the top branches was a good solution at this point .

after only 10 1/2 weeks, ready for harvesting 👌
they could have matured for another 1 or 2 weeks but I would like to have a high effect here as well,
my insides ones will give me the stone.
result for the 3 girls in 3 litre pots: 153g wet.
Dry result in 10 days, and surely a first impatient smoke test 😏
Even if they didn't suffer from pest attacks, it was impossible to avoid the little ones and their eggs from sticking to the leaves and buds;
I did a buds washing to get rid of them.

Getting chunky and frosty. Some very nice specimen in these. Lovely terps and I feel they are going to be a looker. Some colors are already poppin. And they still have a lot to go.
