Week 3: Vegetative Growth and Care Welcome to the fourth weekly update of our cannabis cultivation journey in Germany! As we move into the third week of vegetative growth, our strains—Pulp Friction, Cookies Haze, Eleven Roses, Poddy Mouth, Critical Lemon Kush, and OG Kush—continue to thrive. This week, we’ve focused on maintaining optimal growing conditions and further refining our Low-Stress Training (LST) techniques. Key Developments: 1. Enhanced Vegetative Growth: - The plants are showing significant growth, with lush, green foliage and strong stems. - The 18-hour light and 6-hour dark cycle continues to support their healthy development. 2. Continued Low-Stress Training (LST): - We have adjusted the LST ties to guide the plants’ growth, ensuring an even canopy and maximizing light exposure. - The plants are responding well to LST, with multiple branches growing vigorously. Steps Taken: 1. Monitoring: - Maintained temperature around 24-28 degrees Celsius and humidity between 50-60 percent. - Kept the soil consistently moist, watering when the top inch of soil felt dry. 2. Nutrient Management: - Continued with a balanced nutrient solution to support vegetative growth. - Monitored the plants for any signs of nutrient deficiencies or excesses and adjusted the feeding schedule as needed. 3. Adjusting LST: - Gently repositioned the LST ties to ensure all parts of the plants receive adequate light. - Avoided over-stressing the plants by making gradual adjustments. 4. Pest and Disease Prevention: - Regularly inspected the plants for any signs of pests or diseases. - Maintained a clean growing environment to minimize risks. Next Steps: - Prepare for the transition to the flowering stage, which will begin soon. - Continue to monitor and adjust the environmental conditions and nutrient regimen to support healthy growth. - Keep an eye on the plants’ overall health and make any necessary adjustments to the LST setup. Stay tuned for next week’s update, where we’ll discuss the transition to the flowering stage and the care practices involved.

La 4 semana de crecimiento las niñas están estupendas con un montón de baras y ramas para tofos lados y súper Robustas ya dentro de 1 semana y media entramos en floración señores

🤩🤩

2/4: Photo session day! Both of these girls do seem to be mostly sativa, as billed. The have a very pungent aroma..not quite normal. I removed most of the lower fan leaves. I had a total infestation of Cattus (felis) which I documented in my photos. Eradication seems impossible, so I'm opting to allow a degree of predation, but hoping trichome production will, at least, deter them soon.😁 2/5: I fed everybody today with about 3/4 gallon each and sprayed them down with Axiom harpin proteins for the last time this run. I made a DIY CO2 generator today using a 5 gallon cat litter bucket, a small aquarium pump, some air line tubing, and a bubble stone, plus 6 cups of sugar and 30 grams of wine yeast in 2 gallons of warm water. I put the tube where the CO2 is exhausted up against the back of the oscillating fan that aims down over the plants so they are being constantly forcefully bombarded with high levels of CO2(1300+ppm) from above. I set the ac infinity controller to allow the temps to climb up to 89f before the fan turns on. 2/6: These girls aren't stretching much, but continue to spend energy on their lower branches. I bought some Gro-Pro pot risers to elevate the pots so that they will dry out faster..seem pretty effective. 2/7: I foliar fed with big bloom and tiger bloom today. 2/8: I ordered a second 6" AC Infinity fan to connect to my controller, some ducting, and a diffuser which I'll mount to the wall, down near the floor. The fan unit will be in another closet, adjacent to the garden closet, and I'll run ducting up through that closet ceiling into the attic, with a filter on the end to keep bugs and particulates out. For the next 6 weeks or so, it will provide a supply of colder fresh air. I did the math, and it will now only take about 1 minute and 40 seconds to completely exchange the air in the closet. Depending on the outside air temp at the time, it should take anywhere between 8 and 20 minutes for the closet to heat back up to 80f and the fans to kick back on again. This Spring, on days when it's warmer than 72f outside, I'll disconnect the duct in the closet and stretch it into that bedroom, clipped to the window unit air conditioner output, cranked down as low as it will go. This Summer, I'm gonna just run a pair of the quantum boards and grow 4 or 5 autos in there, but this should help keep the temps cooler in summer as well, without dedicating an air conditioner to the grow op.🙏 2/9: I foliar fed them with grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom and checked moisture in their pots. They're due for a good watering tomorrow.

Básicamente lo mismo, aunque está semana pilló bastante más horas de luz(tuve que irme fuera de casa dos findes seguidos, en los cuales la dejé con la luz encendida full 24/7 en la caja) Como experiencia utilicé café reposado 48h para "alimentarla" e intentar bajar el Ph de la tierra (coco ph6+hummus ph7+vermiculita ph8= ph total 7) El otro experimento fue cubrir la tierra con coco para que el tallo eche raíces y aprovechar su espigamento! Las horas de luz solía dejarla 8h en bombilla mientras duermo, y el día la pongo en la ventana a que tome el fresco, pero apenas tiene luz directa, me da la sensación que crece más rapido cuando vuelvo del finde, estoy replanteandome tenerla más tiempo en la caja con luz, porque la veo aún pequeña, y quizá ponerle un ventilador de pc o algo🤔..veremos, aún tengo el papel de aluminio al lado de la caja y ni se lo he puesto, con eso os lo digo todo☝️🎃

Decided to turn on my bloom lights on my Optic 2 Gen 3 LED which incrediblely increased the temp so lucky 🍀 I have a carbon filter from ac infinity “4 and a inline fan from Vivosun which really work great to suck the stagnant hot air out of my 32”x32”x72” tent. Other then that have been feeding these girl Urb& liquid seaweed and they seem to be loving it. Would love to make a compost tea soon.

Pheno 1 dark purple : On the nose, it reveals a sharp burst of fresh lemon, layered with a powerful eucalyptus aroma that’s both invigorating and camphorous. A truly refreshing and vibrant terpene profile😈🍋 Pheno 2 Green : this one is a real surprise! If I close my eyes, it’s like Nutella! It’s as if you’ve just walked into a kitchen where hazelnuts have been freshly roasted 🤤🌰 Pheno 3 light purple : It’s a mix of the first two with a hint of amarena cherry at the end🍒🍧

It's time to harvest them but this I wasn't there for last 2 weeks had humidity issues causing bud rot

I've been overfeeding so I'm flushing them for a week & then going back to the feed schedule I should've been using. 😪 They didnt seem too bothered by the overfeeding tho. 🤷‍♂️🏽

17.05. I don't have anything special to say, of course the weather is terrible... it's 6-7 at night, 15-16 during the day, so they're inside... the temperature inside is 20-21 during the day, at night from 15 to 17 when it's this cold... the plants were exactly 3 weeks old yesterday, today they entered the fourth week and most likely they will wait inside for the fifth week as well because the weather is terrible and there is no point in transplanting yet. Stay High!

Rainbow melon has stolen my heart truly one of my favorite grows this year will definitely be growing her again in the future I have a clone I took off of her is doing well. What can I say? Rainbow melon has solid fat juicy nugs all over the plant, the node spacing is on point almost filling the branches all the way up with buds. FastBuds420 4Life

I never even weighed out my harvest, but it was almost 3 mason jars stuffed full. I actually never smoked it either; I rosin pressed every gram of that $hit. Definitely better quality than the dispensary concentrate I’m used to. I’m very happy with my results, considering it’s my first run. They went through a lot like I moved halfway through, the plants lived I am unventilated closet for a bit because my tent wouldn’t fit and had to buy/wait for a new one, then had to deal with the winter cold in my environment too and all that. It was really fun and a huge learning experience. Hard to rate the strain considering it was my first grow, but again, considering everything I put these plants through, I give it high rating. I would recommend.

Week 2 F D1 Another week down for my lemon ICE and everything goes well . Defoliated her one more time today since she was getting a bit bushy again and I want the lights to reach the lower parts of her ! I haven't overdone that keeping more than half of her leaves on. I think I could go a bit harder but its okey ... I find defoliation a really interesting technique for indoor gardening since plants are disease and pest free compared to outdoors. I will defoliate her one more time at the end of week 3 Cant wait for the next two weeks !! D5 Lemon ICE growing massive and those bud sites are getting taller every day! She's going super fast into flowering and more and more pistils are showing up every day Lushy deep green leaves and I really have nothing bad to say about her . She's just growing beautifully, great internal stretch , great structure, great colour ,smell is super fresh Introduced Canna Boost Accelerator to her diet at 2ml/lt and lets get it started Till next Update

Last week plants grew very healthy, as they got bushier the humidty raised providing a better enviroment, I could even reduce the amount of water I give them. Planning to move to flowering stage very soon.

bud production is a little slow hoping she will get a move on but more pistols showing so plenty more development to be done

A little over a week in the fade. She is just starting to show deficiency signs a little. Will likely be harvesting next week. Got some beautiful frosty buds, that smell amazing. Thanks again fast buds Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, and all of my YouTube channel subscribers. I greatly appreciate the support, and glad to help others when I can. Happy growing 🌱🌱🌱
