Total Days: 63 Flower Nights: 20 Some consistent development across the canopy. The last Zoap (back-left corner) is the slowest of the bunch but not more than 3-5 days behind the most developed plant. This bodes well as far as not having too large of a harvest window from fastest to slowest development. Trichome development is visible on a few of the plants. This is usually a good sign when you can see them before end of 3rd week, but doesn't necessarily mean any of the others are lacking. Still plenty of time and I expect them all to have a nice dense coating by the end. Garlic Storm^2 is stretching like crazy, as expected. The first zoap pictured is also a lanky girl but a couple inches shorter than GS^2. The rest of theh canopy is roughly the same stature. Going to allow those 2 plants to remain closer unless I see some damage to pistils. The 2nd to last Zoap has some awesome node spacing and warranted a couple extra pictures. I pruned off lower, weak axilla on FD14 - 1 day after last update. Feeling good about my choices as well as timing. Should result in an easier trim and maintain grams per square foot production. I never tried to refine this in a systematic way, but I am putting in the effort the last two grow cycles to remedy that. Some plants retained a bit more lower growth just so I can compare the results and make better choices in future grows. Mostly done training the plants. Colas are well-spaced. Wih another week of strong growth coming and then tailing off, the remaining gaps in canopy should fill completely. Effectively reduced necessary pruning and wasted growth/resources/time with good timing flipping to flower phase. A couple plants could be spread out slightly more. I'll tug those branches outward from center with some garden wire this week. Nitrogen ppm reduced to 99 - a little under 25% drop in total from vege formula. There was an intermediary step down on last reservoir refill, too. While some concentration levels shifted a bit, most stayed consistent to what was provided in vegetative phase, unlike nitrogen levels. Rounded to nearest integer: N 99 P 67 K171 Ca 91 Mg 76 S 101 So far avoiding the extra lushness that often creeps in mid-to-late flower in my typical grow cycle. Will know more about these adjustment over the next 2-3 weeks. It's been a slow work in progress the last few cycles. Splitting hairs at this point in regard to formula adjustments, but slightly healthier plants can't hurt, right? Phosphorous levels are higher than I prefer, but it is a necessary evil to maintain Ca levels, that I prefer were more than 10% higher as is. The canopy is finally providing enough moisture on its own. Dehumidifier is now turned on and avoiding RH levels greater than 65%. The hygrometer on this dehum is off by 10% or more. As the data rolls in, i'll get it fine-tuned to a roughly 60% average based on expected temperatures. Really enjoying this run. Despite the hiccup with the humidifier wick, all the minor adjustments to improve future grows are working out well and will be incorporated going forward. Improvements to the grow setup have improved functionality or reduced effort invested. ------------------ Music: "Nickel Bags" by Digable Planets

Week 1: Transition to Flowering Welcome to the fifth weekly update of our cannabis cultivation journey in Germany! As we transition from the vegetative stage to the flowering stage, our strains—Pulp Friction, Cookies Haze, Eleven Roses, Poddy Mouth, Critical Lemon Kush, and OG Kush—are ready for the next phase of their growth. Before entering the flowering stage, we took a few important steps to prepare the plants for optimal flowering. Key Developments: 1. Pre-Flowering Preparation: - The plants were defoliated to remove excess leaves and improve light penetration and airflow. - Each plant was repositioned to ensure they have ample space and light exposure. 2. Growing Medium and Setup: - The plants are grown in a mix of living soil, coco coir, perlite, and clay pebbles. - The soil mix includes mycorrhizal fungi cultures to support healthy root development. 3. Watering and Nutrient System: - The plants are watered from the bottom using an AutoPot system, which provides a consistent supply of nutrient solution. - The pots are equipped with air domes connected to an air pump, delivering oxygen directly to the roots to enhance growth. Steps Taken: 1. Defoliation and Positioning: - Carefully removed excess fan leaves to improve light distribution and airflow within the canopy. - Repositioned the plants to ensure each one has enough space to grow and receive adequate light. 2. Watering and Nutrient Management: - Set up the AutoPot system to supply a balanced nutrient solution to the plants. - Ensured the nutrient solution is appropriate for the flowering stage, with a focus on supporting bud development. 3. Air Domes and Oxygenation: - Connected the air domes to an air pump to deliver oxygen to the root zone. - Monitored the air pump to ensure consistent oxygen flow to the roots. Next Steps: - Monitor the plants closely for signs of flowering and adjust the light cycle to 12 hours on and 12 hours off to initiate and support flowering. - Continue to observe the plants for any signs of nutrient deficiencies or excesses and adjust the feeding regimen as needed. - Ensure the AutoPot system and air domes are functioning properly to maintain optimal hydration and oxygenation. Stay tuned for next week’s update, where we’ll discuss the progress of the first week of flowering and any adjustments made to the care routine. Feel free to ask any questions or share your own experiences in the comments below!

F29, se comenzó con el riego de engorde, con una EC 2.6~2.8 y pH 6.4, se han quitado un par de hojas bloqueando sitios de cogollos, los cogollos están muy resinosos, súper frosty, el olor está súper fuerte también.

Die Epic Buzz hat nun eine schöne Größe fürs toppen erreicht. Deshalb wird sie ab der 2. Nodie geschnitten und 4 Hauptriebe können sich bilden.

I know they look rough. It’s just because I didn’t want to feed them too much in those little pots, now they are getting established into bigger pots with a lot more food!

I'm sorry I'm 4 weeks behind here guys, it's been a busy period in my life. So here we have a mixed grow, as you can see everything is growing well. I've been LSTing these plants since day 1, the results are a nice evn canopy and plenty of tops. Used the biotabs lineup this time around with a light dose of micro nutrients for veg. Working great There are 2x Power Kush 2x PPP 2x Chemdawg 2x White Widow Thanks for following

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de esta Panty Punch de Seedstockers, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte se ven bien resinosas, y son bien prietas, aparte son súper aromáticas huelen mucho. (COLOQUEN UN BUEN FILTRO PARA EL OLOR). a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, la genética es perfecta para SOG y es bien vigorosa, es muy fácil cultivarla y muy resistente merece la pena si eres cultivador principiante. Hasta aquí es todo, espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Moin, Die 7. Blütewoche ist so gut wie vorbei. Es gibt nicht viel zu berichten, bis zum Wochenende waren die Temperaturen mit circa 25 °C fast ideal nur zum Wochenende rollt nun die nächste Hitzewelle an, wodurch sich bei der Mainbud foxtailing andeutet. Das kann zusätzlich auch an der Nähe zur LED liegen, sonstige Anzeichen wie Sonnenbrand oder Photobleaching zeigt die White Sweet Candy OG gar nicht, was nur den Eindruck einer wirklich robusten Sorte weiter verstärkt. Die Buds haben diese Woche deutlich an Masse dazu gewonnen und man merkt das es noch nicht an Ende ist und die Pflanze ich noch nicht in der Abreife ist. Leider muss ich notgedrungen zwischen der Z und der White Sweet Candy OG früher oder später einen Kompromiss machen. Die Z wäre vermutlich in 2 Wochen fertig, die WSCOG hingegen würde sich sicherlich über 3 wenn nicht sogar 4 Wochen freuen, da ich allerdings Ende August nach Amsterdam fahre und vorher geerntet und im Idealfall auch soweit im curen sein muss, dass ich nicht mehr täglich die Gläser öffnen muss ist vermutlich in 3 Wochen (Ende der 10. BW) Schluss und ich freue mich tierisch wenn ich die White Sweet Candy OG das erstemal verdampfen kann! Das Terpenprofil nimmt weiter an Komplexität zu und wird mittlerweile von einer süß-würzigen Profil dominiert, begleitet wird alles von einem leicht erdigen Unterton. Das gefällt mir besonders nach all den Candy und Gelatoterps sehr gut. Hey, The 7th week of flowering is almost over. There isn’t much to report. Until the weekend, temperatures were nearly ideal at around 25 °C, but now the next heat wave is rolling in, causing some foxtailing to appear on the Mainbud. This could also be due to its proximity to the LED; the White Sweet Candy OG shows no other signs of sunburn or photobleaching, which only reinforces the impression that it’s a truly robust strain. The buds have gained significant mass this week, and it’s clear that it’s not over yet and the plant isn’t in the ripening phase. Unfortunately, sooner or later I’ll have to make a compromise between the Z and the White Sweet Candy OG. The Z would probably be ready in 2 weeks, whereas the WSCOG would certainly benefit from 3, if not 4, weeks. However, since I’m traveling to Amsterdam at the end of August and need to have harvested by then and ideally have it cured to the point where I no longer have to open the jars daily so it will likely be ready in 3 weeks (end of the 10th week of growth) and I’m super excited to vape the White Sweet Candy OG for the first time! The terpene profile continues to grow in complexity and is now dominated by a sweet-spicy profile, accompanied by a slightly earthy undertone. I really like this, especially after all the candy and gelato terpenes.

Día 22 de vegetación, se realiza poda FIMing a las 4 plantas, que ya tienen 6 nudos, se ven fuertes y de un color verde muy sano, se riega un día con 250 ml. y al otro con 100 ml. se va variando entre agua con calmag, microvida o fertilizantes para mantener baja la EC. No estoy corrigiendo el PH como parte del experimento. Día 25 de vegetación, las plantas se han recuperado bien de la poda FIMing, se riegan a diario y cada riego con fertilizantes diferentes o solo calmag, para mantener una EC bajo los 800. Se siguen doblando las ramas y podando los brotes inferiores.

We have passed three weeks of flowering. I'm very happy with the results so far and considering we have 5 to 6 weeks to go, these buds have the potential to get huge. Started watering more, 4 liters every two days instead of every 3 days. Also after a full 3 weeks of flowering, we started the flowering amendments, 2 cups of worm castings, 1 cup of bonemeal and a cup of Micro life each. Just put that on top of the soil, watered with the Perma tea, to which I added some woodash, just two tablespoons and stirred. To 12 liters of this I added 60 ml of BAC Organic Flower, 20 mils of BAC Calmag and 12 mils of Top Max. They seemed to love it, they payed me back with enormous bud growth in the last week. Anyone still doubting the power of the SP-3000, look at this grow! This light is spectacular! Thank you @MarsHydroLED, check out their Black Friday deals on www.mars-hydro.com I have been sitting on my hands regarding defoliating. Because we had a full three weeks of flowering, I started some underside leafpicking and pruning the smallest branches with no chance of growing out. I kept it to a minimum and will gradually do more. The smells of orange and related citrus is amazing. It is a mixture of orange peels, lime, kumquat, grapefruit and those lovely little oranges they put in Earl Grey tea. The undertones are of a very dense funk, this is going to be a banger, I can tell already. Thanks for following me, all the likes and comments!! See you on one of our diaries! Hug Bud

Week 5 – All calm before the swell 🌊🌿 The Lemon OG girls are moving into mid-flower and staying true to their name: calm, consistent, and frosty. The structure is set, stretch is over, and now it’s all about stacking. Buds are forming nicely and trichomes are coming in stronger each day. No major issues, just some fine-tuning and observation. This week’s feeding: 💧 15L water 🌸 60ml Biobizz Bloom 🌿 20ml Topmax 30ml CalMag ⚖️ 1.6g Epsom salts 🍯 50ml molasses 30ml EM (effective microbes) Everything looks on track. The girls are doing what they’re supposed to – building fat, sticky flowers. Nothing more to wish for at this point. Stay lifted, OnlyBuds

ok one more week, the ripper haze genetics plants have quintupled their size in the change to 12h, I had to tie them up since they don't stop growing, I can't wait for them to finish stretching and start to fatten the flowers. normal problems of having many different genetics in the same grow tent. otherwise everything is going well. that's all, regards.

The scrog was no good idea. Had to remove it today. Problems: unable to change water properly and can‘t clean the tank during the process. So.. scrog is gone and the LST is back 😂 and i switched to 12/12 because of my other plants in the tent.
