Hot and humid week, training canopies, hope to see buds soon!

Banana purple punch, the strain that has set the pace! Buds are significantly bigger and more dense.

Pulling the top fan leaves to allow the side branches to catch up.

I have eight clones from my Korova grow. Built two DWC with four 4 inch net pots each. The totes are 5 gallon. Purchased the drill bit so if any of these take off I can move them to their own 5 gallon bucket.

Pretty good week with plenty of bud sites fattening up.Loads of defoilation needed to get light into lower areas. All good 🤞🍁

Not much to report - we will find all of our answers in a few weeks

They all basically look the same at this point. Plant 4 popped a day later so it’s a little smaller. At day 12 I sprinkled some great white shark around each plant. And added just 1 tsp of green harvest bone meal.

Day 30 of flower; I raised the pot 14 cm to get her closer to the light. The Hulkberry next to her measures 126 cm. SHe's full of buds and she's very sticky. Her smell is amazing!!

Week 6. Smells like the most stank sweet creamy sticky oiliness!

With the majority of trichomes now turned milky with some turning Amber, i have decided to begin a 10 day flush using nothing but ph balanced water. Doing a shorter than normal flush as the plants with deficiencies don't have much nutes to use up.

Es war eine sehr gemischte Woche mit viel Regen, etwas Sonne und eine Menge Wind. Die Durban Poison lässt sich davon wenig beeindrucken, sie ist am Stock festgebunden, steht kerzengerade und lässt ihre Buds weiter anschwellen. Leider habe ich bei sehr genauem Hinsehen doch ein welkes verdrehtes Blatt in einer Blüte gefunden und dieses mit der Blüte sofort entfernt. Weiteres Untersuchen brachte aber keine weiteren beginnenden Schimmelstellen zum Vorschein. 100% schommelfrei ist sie also nicht... Das Wetter ist jedoch sehr schimmelförderlich zur Zeit. Ich freue mich schon auf die Ernte, in ca. zwei Wochen dürfte es soweit sein und und dann benötige ich viiiel Platz zum Trocknen. Die DP ist dieses Jahr etwas kleiner als im Jahr davor, was sicherlich an der Düngemenge im Topf in der Vegetationsphase liegt. Entscheidend wird sein, ob das Entlauben etwas am Erntergebnis verbessern wird. Letztes Jahr hatte ich mehr Blätter an der Pflanze gelassen. Vielen Dank für den Besuch mit besten Wünschen für eine schimmelfreie Woche! 😀 --- It was a very mixed week with lots of rain, some sun and a lot of wind. The Durban Poison is not particularly affected by this; it is tied to the stake, stands straight as a die and continues to swell its buds. Unfortunately, upon closer inspection, I did find a wilted, twisted leaf in one of the flowers and immediately removed it along with the flower. Further examination revealed no other signs of mould. So it's not 100% mould-free... However, the weather is very conducive to mould at the moment. I'm looking forward to the harvest, which should be ready in about two weeks, and then I'll need a lot of space for drying. The DP is a little smaller this year than last year, which is certainly due to the amount of fertiliser in the pot during the vegetation phase. The decisive factor will be whether defoliation will improve the harvest yield. Last year, I left more leaves on the plant. Thank you very much for visiting and best wishes for a mould-free week! 😀

Auto cous kush is just coming onto it's own, making plant matter and working overtime in that slightly cold medium. I added aloe as a rooting agent, tried to ph it down to 6.5 using lemon juice (not doing that again lol?) and ended up catching the start of pH shenanigans so i started applying an amino acid spray onto the soil (not the plant!) . using my kelp extract concentrate at 1ml a L in my 250ml spray which means a 1/4ml , that gets sprayed once onto the plant. gonna top off the pots next watering. in soil ppm went from 360 to 420 , vpd went from 0.8 to 1.1.

Day approx 30 since seed touched soil. They are good, on last day before holidays i visited them, all are growing, a bit overstretched, but the lack of good light on such low level is blocked by surrounding, they should be better when i will return. One month of holidays ;))))) Happy Growing !!!

Resin is increasing and looks like bud sites are ready to start putting on some bulk. Issue with low ph drift reaching 5.2 so I decreased 50ppm with distilled water without calmag to soften the water and counter the drift. After decreasing ppm, ph drift continues, so I flushed for 2 days with distilled water and added back nutrients at half strength to increase to 800 ppm over time.

Week 8: Day 50-53: Things are looking ok here, could be better. Still assuming my soil is too acidic certain nutrients to lock out. I now believe what I thought was a calmg deficiency on 4AM#1 was actually a phosphorous lockout in combination with the aforementioned calmg. Day 50 I watered with PH 6.5 and got runoff around 5.5 PH. 4AM#3 was visibly worse off, and no real improvements to the other 2 either(both had signs of calmg deficiency in combination with various other small deficiencies it seemed like). Day 54-56: Seeing no real improvements in any of the 3 plants I decided I would flush them on with 6.5 PH'd water only with regulator until runoff read atleast 6PH. After about 4-5L the runoff was 6+PH, seemed to me like there was a slight build up in the bottom so the first 3L cleared that up quite nicely(runoff was around 5.7). I then fed them 2-2.5L feeding of calmg and regulator with some Biocanna Boost PD'd to 6.5 immediately after flushing. Runoff was pretty much 6.3-6.5 on all plants at this point. I think I am happy with the results of the small flush, this IS my first time indoors(last summer first time was outdoor and I never really dealt with deficiences), so not sure if what I did was correct, I just went with my gut feeling here. Anyway on day 56 now and they haven't gotten any worse, and the leaves feel healthier to the touch. Also seem to be liking the addition of the 150W COB, also decided to lower the lights and see if they could take it(they could). End of Week 8: I don't think I will get more much bulk on 4AM#1 but daaamn is she frosty as hell. 4AM#2 on the other hand is bulking up real nice, those are going to be some fat buds! And 4AM#3 seems to be a slower finishing pheno and seems like she will bulk up loads more, going to be a beast I reckon if the deficiencies didn't stunt her from the last 2 weeks(leaves felt dry and showed yellowing and spots, but are doing better and feel better after the flush).

Wir befinden uns am Ende der Bw5. Laut Fastbuds braucht dieser Strain 7 Wochen. Die ersten Pistillen färben sich braun. Die Kelche werden bald anschwellen. Der Duft nimmt weiter zu. Sehr schöne Pflanze bisher.

Vegetation Week 14: Royal Growth & Pre-Flower Whispers Update: 17.06.2025| Day 102 Hey Growmies, Week 14 is pure satisfaction. The ladies radiate health, pests are history, and every sunrise brings visible progress. Here’s the serene update: Growth Report - Explosive daily growth: New shoots cascade like a "royal dress" – layered, lush, and dense. - Uniform deep green foliage – zero deficiencies, zero stress signs. - First calyxes spotted at nodes! Pre-flower transition seems imminent (expect that legendary sativa stretch from Durban soon). Pest & Recovery Update - Aphids/ants: Fully eradicated. No sightings all week. - Foliage untouched – pristine leaves from crown to soil line. Care Routine - Bokashi juice (1:100) twice weekly – plants absorb it effortlessly. - Deep watering only when soil dries 5cm down (encouraging root depth). - Mulch renewed – retains moisture through 28°C days. Environmental Notes - Weather: Stable 28-30°C days / 14-16°C nights. Light: 16+ hours daily – still solidly in veg territory. Next Steps - Monitor calyx development daily – pre-flower stretch could begin any day. - Keep airflow maximized through the dense canopy. Week 14 Takeaway Perfection in patience. After early battles, the garden now runs itself. These Dutch Passion phenos are sculpting themselves into regal, resilient queens. As always take care of your girls and thanks for checking in.
