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!

Had bend her main cola over again!! She was growing into the light. She just keeps spreading out too! Wish I had a bigger tent for her. The buds are starting to fatten a bit.
I defoliated her again. Trying to get some better light penetration and air flow.

The ladies are sucking down lots of water. So much so that the ppm's got a little high and some burn set in. Topped off the reservoir with ro water and calmag only to bring ppm down. No worries, looking pretty good I think and will finish up strong. These are the biggest girl scout cookies from fast buds I have ever grown.
I have defoliate lots and snipped tiny bud sites down a bit to let the energy go into the bigger buds. I am very susceptible to PM so it's crucial I have air flow and light penetration. Everytime I let defoliation go the PM starts to set in and it's so hard to eradicate 100%. Prevention, prevention, prevention.

Welcome to week 7!
She’s doing great in her second week of flowering!
She is still stretching and got a bigger defoliation at the end of week 6.
For the start she’s getting only ph regulated water from top and some nutrients from bottom. There a little signs on the leaf tip why I skip nutrients for one watering cycle.
On mid of week 7 she’s still stretching and first orange pistils shown up. On weekend she’s getting another defloration and another round of nutrients.
We are finishing week 7 shortly! She was defoliated once again to ensure more light density in lower conopy. She’s doing still great and she’s not showing any signs of stress or leak of nutrients. It seems that she’s also stopped stretching. Looking forward to the next weeks!

Week 6 2/9-15
Runtz Auto in full flower, the cute puffy white buds are starting the stack. On 2/13 I did major defoliation on Runtz. I removed all large fan leaves and any leaves shading bud sites. Initially, I thought this would be my last defoliation, however I have heard that 1) they continue to grow new leaves until day 20 of flower and 2) there must be enough foliage on the plant to photosynthesize energy. Well, I hope I left enough leaves for energy to keep bulking up the buds. She is still stretching and now 21inches. This is the end of week 2 flower. This should have been an indication Not to defoliate severely.
Oh darn. My AC Infinity controller is set to flower. I add 2 gallons of water to the T700 humidifier daily to keep the VPD in line.
2/9 & 11 4 gal fed 2 liter each nutrients added at ½ of recommended amount. Making 4 gallons since I have 2 pots of carrots and a Dill in the back.

Coming along nicely. Large number of bud sites, starting to grow but still far from mature. Nice aroma every time I open the tent. Starting to become a bit frosty.

Gave them all a defol as they was getting to bushy at the bottom.
They all look great apart from number 3. I can’t seem to perk her up. Tried straight water for a week, ph is 6.3. Then tried her with nutes but nothing’s making her happy. Think she’s just 1 of them doom and gloom girls, we all have known them haha.

So far so good, eager to have the auto flowers finish up so I can focus on the photo period. Both auto flowers are being fed full strength with big bud powder added as well.
Trained the photoperiod with plenty of lst hoping to start flowering her in 2 weeks max

Mid week update: did the defoliation over a couple of days. she looks gooood. so many lovely buds.
Stretch started this week! waaaaattttt. she's once again one BUSHY lady. was advised to limit pruning once flowering started, but things are getting out of control 😂. think i'm going to have to do some ladyscaping as a mid week update.
Slow growth as expected with the lower set point on the reservoir temp (19 C) - as a result of a slight smell. still has the smell, but nothing in the water on on the sides of the reservoir so not going to worry for now.
Bought another air stone and need to install ASAP. SO many roots and with sooooo much volume that the one stone just gets swamped. pretty impressive root system.
Shout out to all the growmies that have helped me on this journey. Things are good.

Now that V started, both ladies have began flush. Nemo actually started early last week since (20 ml heavy 16 finish and 1 gallon of RO watrr per feed). Nemo on left, a little less directly under the light is more developed, both bud structurely and trichome color (clear transitioning to cloudy or milky trichs more each day). V on the right side is much less finished, being a more haze influenced pheno. it seem lankier and slower to finish, however severe light stress from being grown up to close to light has bleached maybe 6-10 tops of the 15 tops on v. nemo will be done sometime later this week or early next week. Going to harvest the tops entire plant on nemo, then rewaeave V back thru the scrog to allow greater distance to light and better airflow for it to fill in a little more and finish up over next 2 weeks or so. will be closely monitoring bud sites in top colas to harvest when trichomes are almost fully milky white, just before amber.

I have tried to do this grow as natural as possible. Only rain water, once a week, I use Ionic PK booster, only sun light. I had to move her inside due to autumn/winter the last 4wks. I hope to harvest in 1-2wks time. Will be smoking the top heads, and Rso with the rest.

16.07.21 Tag 42 alles läuft super denke ich vll bilde ich es mir auch ein. Die purps OG macht mir bis jetzt echt Laune beim züchten vor allem das sie jetzt schon wie ein kleines Stinktier riecht obwohl noch gar nix los ist mit Blüte 👌👌💪💪 habe diese Woche den Pflanzen nur zu geschaut beim wachsen gestern(15.07.21) hab ich die ersten 3 Ladys in ihre Endtöpfe gesetzt sollen eigendlich 15L Stofftöpfe von gronest sein passen aber gut 25L rein wenn man sie ausfüllen will mit Erde. Werde kommenden Sonntag weiter fortfahren mit dem Main Laining der ersten 3 Ladys die schon in ihren Endtöpfen sitzen und werde dann wohl vorraussichtlich 2x die Woche Updates dazu hoch laden (ab jetzt passiert ja endlich was) ach ja zum great White ich hab oben keine ml Angabe gemacht weil ich es nicht gegossen habe sondern beim umtopfen auf dem Wurzelballen verteilt habe und das vorher nicht abgewogen habe ich schätze Mal das so ca 2gramm pro Wurzelballen angefallen sind............

These buds look so yumyum.
Ze heeft niet lang meer te gaan.
Ze ruikt aangenaam sterk spicy.
Ik laat haar nog iets rijper worden, heb nog geen amberkleurige trichomen kunnen spotten.
Verse foto's zullen volgen.
