*english version below* Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, wo die Pflanzen offiziell beschlossen haben, dass Photosynthese ihr Vollzeitjob ist – und wo der Wissenschaftler (also ich) mit Kabelbindern, Big Bud und einem neuen Spielzeug bewaffnet durchs Unterholz kriecht. 🌿⚗️ 🔬 Statusbericht – Die Damen gehen ins Blühen über Blütewoche 2 ist nahezu abgeschlossen und das Labor bestätigt: Bud Blood hat seinen Dienst getan. Überall zeigen sich kleine Blütencluster, wie winzige Supernovae aus weißen Stempeln. Ich habe zu Beginn der Woche leicht entlaubt – aber die SLH hat das bereits wieder vollständig verschluckt. Wirklich, die wächst schneller zu als ein Reddit-Thread über Hydroponik eskaliert. 🌿 Großer Friseurbesuch angekündigt Für Ende der kommenden Woche steht das an, was ich nur “Operation Kahlschlag” nenne: Extremes Lollipoppen unter dem ersten Netz Entlauben zwischen den beiden Netzen Canopy-Optimierung oben (alles, was kein Licht sieht → weg) Luftzirkulation erhöhen Energie nur noch in Blüten, nicht in Laub Wie ein botanischer Beauty-Salon – nur mit mehr Schere und weniger Smalltalk. ⚙️ Systemparameter – Die Laborwerte EC: stabil bei 1.5 pH: 5.8–6.0 Nährlösung: 19°C konstant (Wasserchiller küsst perfekt) Raumtemperatur: 25°C RLF: 58–60% (glücklicher VPD-Bereich für Stretch-Ende) Dünger: Bud Blood abgeschlossen seit heute Big Bud im Tank Entlaubung: leicht, Hauptschnitt folgt Under-canopy-flow: hervorragend, Struktur steht massiv und offen Alles in allem: Wachstum, Farbe, Stretch und Blütenbildung → absolut on point. Neues Spielzeug im Labor Ja – es ist passiert: Ich habe mir ein Bud-Mikroskop gegönnt. Ab jetzt heißt es: „Keine Trichome entkommen der Analyse.“ Die nächsten Wochen werden also sehr detailliert. 🌸 Optische Beobachtung – Blütenstand Woche 2 Weiße, lange, typische SLH-Stempel Aroma beginnt minimal (Zitronen-Note blitzt auf) Budsites gleichmäßig über das gesamte Netz verteilt Stretch geht langsam Richtung Ende Zweites Netz arbeitet perfekt als Stabilisator 🔍 Labor-Notiz der Woche „Die Pflanzen wachsen wie von einem Koffeinrausch getrieben. Die Blüten zeigen sich zuverlässig, die Vitalität ist hervorragend, und mein Wasserchiller hat vermutlich weniger Stress als ich.“ 🔮 Was kommt in Woche 3? Der große Defoliation-Run EC stabil weiterfahren Big Bud hochskalieren Lichtintensität leicht erhöhen Unterseite sauber halten Videos & Mikroskop-Shots für die Community Beginn des massiven Bud-Formings Die Bühne ist bereitet – jetzt wird es spannend. ------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome back to the HydroLab, where plants have officially accepted photosynthesis as their full-time occupation — and where the scientist (me) crawls around with zip ties, Big Bud, and a brand-new toy. 🌿⚗️ 🔬 Status Report – The Ladies Are Entering Bloom for Real Flower Week 2 is almost done, and the lab confirms: Bud Blood has done its job beautifully. Tiny white explosions of pistils are popping up everywhere. I did a light defoliation earlier this week — but the SLH swallowed that effort instantly. Seriously, this strain grows back faster than a comment section on a hydroponics forum. 🌿 A Major Haircut Incoming By the end of next week, we begin what I call “Operation Full Cleanup”: Extreme lollipopping under the first net Heavy cleanup between the two nets Canopy thinning on top (anything that doesn’t get light → gone) Improve airflow Redirect all energy into bud production Think of it as a botanical beauty salon — just with more scissors and less small talk. ⚙️ System Parameters – Lab Values EC: steady at 1.5 pH: 5.8–6.0 Solution temperature: 19°C (chiller doing god’s work) Room temp: 25°C Humidity: 58–60% (great VPD for end-of-stretch) Nutrients: Bud Blood finished Big Bud started today Defoliation: light — main session coming up Under-canopy structure: wide open, strong, and well-ventilated Overall: Growth, color, stretch, and bud formation → absolutely on point. New Gadget in the Lab Yes… it happened: I bought myself a bud microscope. From now on: No trichome shall escape analysis. Expect extremely detailed updates in the coming weeks. 🌸 Visual Observation – Flower Formation Week 2 Long white SLH pistils everywhere First hints of lemon aroma Budsites evenly spread across the entire net Stretch slowing down Second net working perfectly as a support frame 🔍 Lab Note of the Week “The plants are growing like they’ve had three espressos. Buds are forming nicely, vigor is excellent, and my water chiller is probably under less stress than I am.” 🔮 Coming Up in Week 3 The big defoliation session Continue running EC 1.5 Scale up Big Bud Slightly increase light intensity Keep the lower zone clean Microscope shots + canopy videos Bud formation ramping up The stage is set — things are about to get exciting.

This girl is growing on her own almost...lol very easy plant so far, takes a ph swing like a champ and really seems to like anything I throw at her. Been trying to keep nutes on the lower side as well and that seems to be working out so far too. She stretched up a bit more then the other Obiwan Kush’s around her, but I’ll just even them out with the next screen, no biggy. Got some good bud development so far I think and having my light mover setup properly now with the light running at 1000w seems to be working nicely. So far so good. Cheers 💨

Empezamos con la floración!! Llevamos 4 dias desde el cambio a 12/12 y todo va bien, la temperatura nocturna se mantiene a pesar del frio exterior, me preocupaba que el agua del sisema bajase demasiado de temperatura pero por el momento todo se mantiene estable. Las plantas crecen vigorosas a pesar del deficit de Ca Mg que tuve que corregir la semana pasada 👍

I have a new light with a bloom setting hopefully that will make a nice flowering. Got a new fan for air circulation. The new light has cooling fans. Haven't noticed any burns so im happy with my order. If you look at the last few pictures my tent is home made and cheap very cheap. The lights not an expensive one but I think its fine for now.

Still swelling but starting to slow down and swagger. It's kolas are becoming so large that it's really starting to weight down the plants small height and stature. Trying to get away with not holding it up but I will see how the further biggest kola starts to lower more how it'll end. I'm starting to lower the feed and get ready for the last 3-4 weeks I'll be giving these plants. Some more foliage will be removed eventually in the coming weeks and also I'll start to change the feed up a little. You can really see the difference in the two phenos. One's a lot like a leafy gelato and the other is OG all the way with great dense kolas. I'm expecting the Gelato type pheno to take 9-10 weeks and the OG one seems to be showing it's age more rapidly with it's pistil development and colour change beginning to start while the other seems untouched and continues to shoot newer whiter pistils!

Well she is the star of the tent. Her purple colour is amazing, her sickly sweet smell is amazing. She has not given me any problems at all during this grow. Maybe a week left and I cant wait.

Very good week for both Agnes and I. New King Kola supplement arrived as a birthday gift for me, so thats exciting. Also stopped using the nitrogen heavy grow nutes. She is drinking a lot. I am watering 3-4 times a week at 1/2 gal. And alternating nutrient waterings. She seems happy and is responding well. Added some microscope photos as well. It seems to work nicely and uses a micro-usb so it can be operated through my phone. Hope everyone has a stellar week and happy growing! KCCO

26.07. Wedding Cake 1# Day 92# Wedding Cake 2# Day 86# Wedding has not grown much again this week, but it is still spreading abnormally, the trunk and branches are getting sickly thick, a huge difference from the last update... I don't think it will go much higher by the time it stretches, which would be ideal. Today it started to rain and it will rain for the next 4-5 days, while there will be storms for 2-3 days, and it will cool down a lot and the next 10 days will be much better weather... today I added another layer of netting to this row and pulled them through, in a few days I will add the third and let them grow through it. I forgot to take a picture of the second one, it will be in the next update..everything is the same with her, constantly hungry and thirsty, from the next feeding I'm going to force her with food, so let's see how much she eats because this is unreal lol Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

She's doing OK, certainly not jumping up in height though.

This girl is always reaching for the sky no matter the weather and we are happy to say she has gone into bloom. This is the second tallest in the garden and she is setting up quite nicely, she could slow her stretch anytime and we would not complain! There have not been any issues with her beyond the overall battle with the bugs that we seem to be winning again and we think she is fabulous!

5th week of flower, the plant has stopped growing and focused on the buds. Both plants look nice, I’m hoping the 3 gallon plant gets fatter before the end though.

She was eager to grow from the start. I didn’t think she was going to be a tall plant, she had a massive stretch. Next time I would like to grow her out in a larger pot and have her directly under the light by herself to get the most out of this strain. She’s a beauty.
