English: I decided to switch to 12/12 after week 6. The risk of the plants becoming too big for the tent was too great for me. Since switching to 12/12, I have also reduced the amount of water and am trying to push the EC in the substrate further in the 3.5-5 direction. I am still giving the full dose of Grow A & B and will continue to do so until week 3 or 4, depending on how they develop. I will also increase the PPFD from 500 to 900 within the first 3 weeks of flowering. Everything seems to be working well so far, the ladies are growing and also got their next defoliation at the end of the 1st week of flowering, as it was getting very dense. New updates coming next week :) Deutsch: Ich habe mich doch dazu entschieden nach Woche 6 auf 12/12 zu switchen. Das Risiko, dass die Pflanzen zu groß für das Zelt werden, war mir zu groß. Seit dem Switch auf 12/12 habe ich auch die Wassermenge reduziert und versuche dadurch den EC im Substrat weiter in die 3.5-5 Richtung zu pushen. Ich gebe weiterhin die volle Dosis Grow A & B und werde das auch weiter bis Woche 3 oder 4 tun, je nachdem wie sie sich entwickeln. Außerdem werde ich auch den PPFD Wert innerhalb der ersten 3 Blütewochen von 500 auf 900 hochfahren. Scheint so weit auch alles gut zu funktionieren, die Ladys wachsen und haben am Ende der 1. Blütewoche auch ihre nächste Defoliation bekommen, da es doch langsam sehr dicht wurde. Nächste Woche kommen neue Updates :)

7/14 4AM MONDAY MUST DEFOLIATE!!!!! I HAVE 4 INSTEAD OF 2...BECAUSE OF MY LITTLE ACCIDENT EARLY ON.. I WILL TAKE ONE OUT OF FLOWER AND RE-VEG TODAY!!! 7/15 420am They are great cutting I took last month or week is great. Amino and mb today!! 230pm spectacular results today heavy defoliation I removed branches. I prefer a four cola grow in small spaces. It’s just better for airflow better for the plants and they responded so great. It’s like they’re jumping straight up now. I’ve never seen this. They’re just so vibrant that means all the amino’s. Everything is working perfectly. 👍👍👍🚨🚨🚨🌿🌿🌿 7/16 320am 🌿🌿🌿🌿🎊🎊🎊🎊💥💥💥💥👍👍👍👍 7/18 3am NOTICING Elongated Sepals!!!! from Search Ai "Elongated sepals in plants refer to sepals that are longer than average, often appearing narrow and pointed. This characteristic can be a defining feature of certain plant species, such as the long-sepal beardtongue (Penstemon calycosus). The length and shape of sepals can vary significantly between species and even within the same plant, influencing the overall appearance and potentially the function of the flower. Elongated Sepals: More Details Definition: Sepals are leaf-like structures that form the outermost whorl of a flower, typically green and protecting the bud. Elongated sepals are simply those that are noticeably longer than the typical sepal length for a given plant or group of plants. Examples: Long-sepal beardtongue (Penstemon calycosus): This plant is named for its elongated sepals, which are a key characteristic. Berberis (Barberry): Some Berberis species exhibit elongated sepals, with variations in shape and length among different sepal types within the same flower. Significance: Identification: Sepal shape and length are important features used in plant identification and classification. Pollination: In some cases, elongated sepals might play a role in attracting pollinators or influencing how they interact with the flower. Protection: Sepals, even elongated ones, still function to protect the developing flower bud. Morphogenesis: Studies on Arabidopsis have shown that the shape of sepals, including the presence of elongated tips, can be influenced by mechanical feedback within the plant and the arrangement of microtubules."""🚨. THIS IS ON 2 OF THEM, SO I MAY HAVE 2 STRONGER THAN AVG. PLANTS. I WONDER IF THE MB, AMINOS ARE HELPING WITH THIS TOO??? 7/19 I GOT A MAGNETIC STIR THING. 150pm they didn’t need a lot of attention today. They do need to be trimmed back down to four colas. I’m running out of space they are very perfect and if I had more space the leafs would be bigger, but that’s limited by mine condition so there’s nothing I can do but they are absolutely incredible🎊👍👍

🌱 Day 57 - Start of the Second-to-Last Flowering Week 🌱 Hello, Grow Friends! Today marks the start of the second-to-last flowering week—Week 9 overall, and Week 5 of flowering. 🌿 I’m getting more and more excited as my first grow nears its end. As I approach harvest, I’ve decided, based on my research, to stop feeding nutrients and stick to just pH-adjusted water for the final two weeks. 💧⚖️ Watering Routine: I’ll keep the same watering schedule—1 liter every two days, which is about 10% of the pot volume. 🌱💧 This should be enough to flush out the remaining nutrients, ensuring a clean finish for the plant. Temperature & Humidity: The temperature remains stable between 19-23°C, which I believe is ideal for this stage of the grow. 🌡️🍂 No more high temperatures to worry about! The humidity is fluctuating between 45-58%, and I’m keeping a close eye on it to stay below 60%. 💧🔍 Everything seems on track for now. 🌿 Plant Health & Growth: The plant still looks very healthy overall. 🌱💪 However, I’ve noticed that in the past three days, there haven’t been any visible changes in the size of the buds. 🤔 It could just be that I’m not seeing the growth clearly, but the only noticeable change is the daily opening of new flower calyxes. 🌸 Harvest Preparation: I’m already getting my equipment ready for drying after harvest. 🛠️ Once it’s time to cut, I’ll be hanging the plant to dry for the first 10 days. 🌿✂️ I want to make sure everything is set for a smooth drying process. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, daily photos of the plant will be posted! 📸🌱 Day 62 - Last-Minute Decisions with Urgent Changes 🌱 Hello, my grow friends! Due to the trichome pictures I took on Day 61—which you can check out too—I’ve made an unexpected decision to harvest my plant a bit earlier than planned and make some changes. 🌿 Watering and Flushing: The last time I watered was on Day 61, using all the usual nutrients at the doses I mentioned before. But after seeing the trichome pictures, I decided to start a light flush today. I gave the plant 4 liters of plain water to begin flushing and will now only water lightly on Day 64. After that, no more water until harvest on Day 67. 🌑 Dark Period: From Day 66 to Day 67, I plan to keep the plant in darkness. I’m not entirely sure if this will make a difference, but I’m curious to try it out. ✂️ Defoliation: The plant is doing well, and I’ve done a thorough defoliation. I removed all leaves that aren’t sugar leaves or directly attached to the buds to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of mold as I approach the end of the grow. 💭 Trimming Decisions: I’m still undecided about whether to do a wet trim or a dry trim. Based on what I’ve read, especially regarding the yield from trim, I’m leaning towards dry trimming, as it might give me more usable trim material. I can feel the plant entering its final phase, and I’m getting really excited about the results and what the next few days will bring. Remember, I post a video update every day. If you have any tips or suggestions, I’d love to hear them! Until next time! 🌱

Week 10 Flower week 4 Flower-day 1 05/11/2025 Nutrients change Floramax veg1 Floramax Organabud Floramax flowering enhancer Floramax Rezin Cyco platinum series silica Green planet bud booster Complete grow cal mag ( sensi unfortunately got refunded so got this instead today ) Sleeps with the fishez ( hocI ) Ladies are looking good overall, let the fun goodness begin i guess 😂 7/11/25 Blockage within systems finally fixed after 4 flushes. Not exactly sure what it was but whatever ive done has fixed it for now 🤷‍♂️😂 take it as a win for now i guess 11/11/25 Unfortunately I hate scrogg so took it off but once I had spread her out again with lst, I noticed that shes struggling with lower growth. I saw this with my autoflowers. I'm not too sure if its from too many budspots,colas or if it's just from being overpacked. So her pisitils showed up on the 25th, some people count from that date as flower and some count as soon as you flip, I've decided to go of the 25th as first pisitils so its only 3 n a half weeks currently. I decided to take a few branches and a few of the lower budspots to try and help her even herself on where shes taking her sugars and growth. No Defoilation, just 10 or so budspots n only 3 branches. I DONT NOT RECOMMEND doing any of this, I'm only reattempting this because it worked on autos I had going. I do think I've made the right choice Grape og is meant to be a pretty hearty and forgiving strain, so she should bounce back pretty quickly Oh well. I'll definitely be rerunning her again later in future but trying a different method

2/2: Some of the huge fan leaves had to go. Not even the strongest of tucking would control them. Flowering is officially starting! Trying to rotate to get as much light to bud sites as possible. Excited to see where things go with this one. 2/5: determined that there was a bit of a light burn situation. Decided to pull her from the tens for a good flushing and then rearranged the tent a bit to keep her off to the side a bit. 2/7: she's a big girl. I have her flying solo in the tent for now..

Diese Woche war es eine Freude zu beobachten, wie sich die Blüten dieser schönen Pflanze strecken und aufeinander stapeln. Sie produziert Trichome und eine erste Vorstellung vom Geruch liegt in der Luft. Purple Punch Auto hat sich gut entwickelt, ich bin von der Streckung ziemlich beeindruckt. Etwa einen halben Quadratmeter braucht sie nach dem intensiven low stress Training der letzten Wochen. Alle Pflanzen berühren sich jetzt, es wird eng auf den knapp zwei Quadratmetern. Gegossen wird morgens und abends nach Topfgewicht und Gefühl, ca. 1,5 Liter in 24 Stunden säuft sie bei bis zu 30 Grad im Schatten.

Day 22. Heavy training in time lapse of two days will happen. Some girls are shooting 6th node and its time for heavy training, but ... pots are heavy and i have to wait till plants will be more flimsy, not so crunchy and fragile , need 20-30 hours till i get there. Will update after most work is done. Still no feed. Day 23. 6 girls got topped, decided to go lazy way and just simply bend them a bit, tuck them, top them a bit and bush out by week 8 for nice flowers. Tomorrow last pure water, next watering , think last day of week, will be BioBizz week 3 schedule , but i will use Root Juice a bit longer than advised, i just don't start so early most of the time. Runtz are very strong, Asias has fattest leaves and even Dreams starts to look funky. Day 24. Daft Punks aaaaaaaaa, what have you done ?????? So f@cking SAD !!!!! On other side girls fly, can't add anything else, today last pure water, first feed in 3-4 days !!! Day 26. Size of some leaves amazing, whenever you tuck them - they return and cast shadows ... All air is on, now still need to dry washing inside to keep RH in high 70s .. Tomorrow heavy training !!! Day 27. Heavy training, last pure water. All four smallest plants got theirs toping too. Couple leaves here and there, but mostly tucking and exposing for all plants and that's all training for now . Next week feed and maybe light defoliation. Happy Growing !!!

So this week has been quite eventful. First, for the good news, there has been tons of new growth and the plant has stretched like mad! The buds seem to be fattening up in the last couple of days which is always exciting!! That was the good news lol. The bad news is I found a few pollen sacks on this plant which is really disappointing. I have never run seeds from the breeder I went with this time around and I am chalking this up to weak genetics. I do not have any light leaks and I run a pretty tight and tidy ship on my end so it’s hard to think it was environmental. I pulled off what I found and it appears only one opened 🤦‍♂️ (see pictures). It has been a good 4 days since I have seen any so 🤞 I won’t see anymore. I will keep this plant going but if I wasn’t running a single plant I might pull the plug. Who likes seeds in their final product! 😬😬 Not me!! It would have been nice to see this lady without a set of nuts!! Cooler Internals: 5.9 pH 650 ppm 1.3 EC Water is at 65F
