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!

Day 71 - Starting week 11 and overall looking good still but have a ton of bracts/calyx that are not throwing out pistils. They seem to slowly be coming out on some but looking like I’ve got a ton of them without pistils and no buds actually forming, not sure if I’m explaining it right, all still fairly new to me. The only thing I can think to do is just let it ride for awhile longer and see what happens.
Day 73 - Looks like a few more bracts/calyx’s are starting to open and show more pistils. Some have thrown out a single pistil and started to shrivel already. She’s got a lot of milky trichs but still think she’s got a good couple of weeks left, hopefully she’ll fatten up quite a bit. Ended up giving her a gallon and a half of plain pH’d water today as well. Not sure why I didn’t research or why I didn’t think of it but she’s definitely foxtailing so hopefully cutting off one light will help slow it down a bit or something. She’s nice and frosty and stinky so not too worried about any ill effects from it but still not happy. I’m sure a combination of lights, a little heat and a screw up somewhere on my part stressed her out too much. Oh well, every grow is different and is a learning experience.
Day 74 - Still chugging along and even though she’s foxtailing, she’s starting to open up more and throw pistils. Other than that, not much else happening with her.
Day 76 - She’s still chugging along and not much to really update today. I know she’s foxtailing quite a bit but just letting her go to try and get as fat as she can. Still a lot of clear trichs and bright white pistils so a bit of time still left. She’ll need some water tomorrow for sure.
Day 77 - The end of week 11 and I’m probably gonna give her another week then possibly chop. She is just about all milky and just don’t see her fattening up much more. I did give her one more round of nutes today but that’ll be it until the end and just straight water from her on out. If I see some fattening up, then may let her go longer. I may possibly do a partial chop and then see what happens with the lower stuff.

Moving along into flower nicely, spent a day and change inside hiding from the rain and wind from the hurricane remnant. Back outside now.

Aside from some light burn on the top colas, I'm happy overall, but I may have harvested a couple days too early. Upon further inspection, I'm seeing about 60% cloudy, 30% clear, and 10% amber. Will strive to be more patient on my next run :)
Something worth noting about light distance to canopy - If your colas are within 12" of this light, or any high powered light, you will notice that your spear headed colas will start forming into fists, with perpetual white hairs. Can be confusing when it comes time to harvest, as you're patiently waiting for white hairs to stop producing. In this situation, keep your eyes on the trichs!
Will update once I'm done trimming.
Big Thanks to those who've been following along, and to the GrowDiaries Community for being so welcoming and helpful. This will be the first of many grows on this platform. I'm here for good!
**UPDATE** Total harvest weight is 119 grams :D Very pleased with the outcome. Will need to practice a bit more patience on my next run so I can pinpoint the perfect moment to harvest. I also decided to flush for a full week since I pushed nutes to full strength in the last 3 weeks. Hang dry in the tent, 2/3 internal fans off, intake/exhaust running at half speed, managed to maintain a temp of 65-70 and 50-40%RH :) trim after 8 days (small branches and buds snapped off) curing in a small bucket with 58% Boveda, burping daily. Hoping to be ready for smoke by 420

This week is really important for me as I changed the light to 12 Hours.
It’s time for the Fruit Spirit to get into flowering. I am a little worried as the leaves look strange.
The Blue Cheese Automatic is almost ready to harvest. Looks like this full moon will be the last. It smells amazing 🤩
3G growing strong 💪

18/05/2023 Day 36 - Today i finally fed her after 1 week without feeding. Kept almost the same feeding from last week, just removed root juice and alg-a-mic and rised MagNifiCal to 1,5 ml/L
Day 37 - Today she stretched nicely and i noticed her first pre flowers so preflowering begins, next fedding i´ll add 1ml/L Alga Bloom and Top-Max and will slowly rise up to 4ml/L
Day 39 - Today i fed her again, added 1ml/L Alga Bloom and 1ml/L Top-Max and rised MagNifiCal to 1,8 ml/L. Has been hot and dry these days. (for my zone).
Day 40 - She´s growing well. This afternoon i sprayed under her leafs with Alg-a-mic. Soon i´ll defoliate her, so i want to give a good dose of vitamin b so she recovers beautifully.
Day 41 - This morning sprayed her again before sunrise. I wont defoliate yet. Pot is already kind of light, so tomorrow is feeding day.
Day 42 - Today i defoliated, did some LST and fed her. Added 0,5 ml/L Alga Bloom, making 1,5 ml/L in total. 😃

Hey fellow growers week 8 update in the books! Not much happened this week besides having to raise my light to its max! The pistols were showing signs of orange pistols but it looks as though they are burning 🔥 so measured my light to plant and was sitting at 15 inches so I got it back to 18 inches but if these plants stretch any further I'm going to have to cut a hole in the top of my tent for the light!! So I finally had a week of ease. Thanks for viewing my grow and be sure to smash the like button and drop a comment I'm on here a lot prob more than I should be. Sorry for the bad pics this is a closet grow and its pretty tight quarters with no light so I have to work with what I got! Well until next week Best of luck and Happy growing!!😎🌱💚💪💪

This is the first day of the first week of flower in the first video and the 6th day of flower in the second video.. you can see me shit myself when I saw that one of my main top sights snapped from tying the branch down … the lights were using are lights we designed and are testing at the moment also we are trying to keep a good distance between the tops and the lights to keep the temps down around the bud sites ! You can tell there are a couple other strains thrown in there the one purple punch from Barney’s farm is just Caking on nodes upon nodes like it’s impossible to get light to them unless they are pulled down in really liking the structure of the ocean fruit and am looking forwards to the finish!

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to proudly present to you my diary in which, for the next winter time outside the window, I begin a magical adventure with the famous gorillas in a rather exotic climate - and here I want to point out that the seeds were a gift from RQS. Once again I want to thank for the grinder that I use every day, the Vertafort fertilizer which will land in the soil, the posters that decorate the walls in my room (you chose my favorite varieties btw) and the 10 seeds of the Royal Haze which will surely be in the next project. So today I feel like I'm in a position to share with an adventure that starts here and now. I feel obliged to post new updates every day. Please also comment and give advice by colleagues in the field.

3/4/24-Here we are with the ladies goin to their second week. Yay baby flowers 💚
Have a few things going on. I apparently suck at the trellis thing lol. At flower they were all pretty even..I would tuck a few stragglers that got taller under. They’ve went crazy now and I don’t really have anywhere to tuck them other than away from the lights which I don’t wanna do.
There was some discoloration on the tips of leaves which I assumed was light or nutrient related, so I dimmed lights a bit and checked the runoff water. Omg. It was wayyyyy too acidic. Like high 4’s low 5.
Some leaves also appear to be showing magnesium deficiency.. which I assume is because of the crazy acidity. I’m giving dechlorinated tap water (no normal nutes) without phing it because it’s very alkaline. Hoping it will bring things back up. Oh, I sprinkled epsom salt on the soil before watering. (Magnesium)
Really crossing my fingers that I am doing the right things and don’t screw this up! These ladies still look really good to me considering.. but only time will tell.
Update: pretty sure I had nitrogen toxicity and too much salt buildup in the soil. In the meantime got what seemed to be magnesium deficiency. I’ve been giving only water with some epsom salt and the girls seems much happier. Hopefully Krisis averted 😂

Day 42: first day of 12/12. Plants will only receive 12hrs of light today. Removed any red lst trainers in anticipation for stretch. Left the wire tied ones alone. Fed at about 1700. With R/O water my pH has actually been staying "perfect". I was using the system with tap before and would always have to adjust it a bit with ph up/down. The company recommends r/o water for a reason. Still no signs of PM and it's been over a week. Did a second spray of neem oil yesterday regardless. Looks great. Already did a heavy defol. a week ago so I think I'll be straight going into flower. I'll defol in a few weeks once the colas are noticable.
Day 44: grew over night. Crazy. Responding well to 12/12. Some stems broke free from their LST wires and I had to retrain. Need to keep them short. This is definitely my tallest plant and I'm trying to keep the canopy even.
