🌿Week 4: Defoliation & SCROG Setup Week 4 was all about structure and airflow. The canopy was getting bushy fast, with a ton of inner growth, so we went in for a solid defoliation session across the board. Lower fans, overlapping leaves, and shaded internodes were cleaned up to let light penetrate deeper into the canopy and reduce potential humidity traps. Right after that, we finally dropped the SCROG net, stretched out gently across the canopy to guide the branches horizontally and prep for flower stacking. Some of these phenos are already reaching for the sky, so the timing felt just right. Captured a full-time-lapse clip of the defoliation + netting process. It’s super satisfying watching the chaos turn into clean lines. Nature meets intention. Feed Bloom since 20/6 22/6 Defoliation 🌱 Plant Response: After defol, they bounced back fast. Tops are perky, leaves are praying, and stretch is continuing in a controlled way. The structure’s more open now — better airflow, better light distribution, better everything.

Bomb week!! All pictures/ video was takken on day 9 and i gotta say its looking wild. I Didnt expect them both to start growing so crazy. Lst really seemed to help some of these just explode with tops. I feel like compared to my first indoor run these are like a week ahead, as far flowering goes. Wich is also interesting because Double Ds can go for 9-10 weeks! Cant wait to see how these babies do there thang One problem actually i found a little bit of aphids nothing crazy but im going to continue using the growsafe insecticide/fungicide/pesticides.

Wow this week has been crazy, I think the LST I did on plant 4 really helped spread it out... I'm at a loss as to how to treat plant 1, 2, and 3. 3 is still kickin, she little but she's growin buds! Some Log entries... 1/28: Fed with week 7 noots, trimmed a few dead leaves and did some LST on #4 tryin to get all buds on same program. 1/31: Watered with sledgehammer flush later on at night.

Let's roll it's week 6 😎 To start off, I want to sum up the last weeks. The conditions have been changing throughout all this grow. Overall it was more often sunny then not, so that's a plus. The negative side was the absence of consistency 😂 There were a lot of days with sun, rain and spicy winds. Day 35 The Team has grown a lot, so I'm doing portraits with 3 different perspectives and a profile for each plant. Springbrunnen will be shot tomorrow, Rocky in 4 days cause she's 4 days younger. But Zilla was the first to pop anyways so I think it's halfway even. Weather is 18/50 on average with 3h of sun today Day 36 Shooting Springbrunnen today. I couldn't convince the sun to come out at afternoon so the lighting is not the same but I want to shoot them at same age. Lots of winds and rain today. Day 37 Today winds hit heavy and I made a little video for all the MMA fans out there.. Watch the video (Zilla at the top is the ref) Joe rogan voice "Rocky closes the distance and starts a huge left-right-headbutt combo to the body of Springbrunnen. Nice body movement in the defense.. OOUH but she felt it, she's tumbling! But now back on solid feet..." ZILLA (Barney's Farm Gorilla Z Auto) Height: 49cm Appearance: Tree-like Scent: Strong, sweet/candy, hint of woody Infects: Tiny mildew on bottom leaf in week 4, now healthy, handful of flys near the cola. Nutrition: Thirsty, could take a lot more nutes I guess Qualities: Super thick and strong, almost like a tree, intense deep green. Adjustments: daily stretch mid leaves to prepare for leaf tucking, increase fertilizer to 75% of recommended dosage. SPRINGBRUNNEN (Kannabia Kickass Auto) Height: 48cm Appearence: slim, sharp the genetics original name was Bruce Lee and that hits it 100%! (her main stem is half the mass compared to Zilla) Scent: very strong, lemon, pungent and a hint of sweet Infects: Tiny mildew on bottom leaf in week 4, now healthy, handful of flys near the cola Nutrition: medium thirsty, didn't want a lot of nutes especially in veg Qualities: good leaf production, fast Adjustments: watch out to NOT confuse Zillas feed withhers 😂 Leaftucking mid branches

Lost my notebook with all my notes on this grow. All I have are the pics which I'll post. The dates of the pics may not correspond with the weeks in the diary. Keep up to date if you are going to keep a diary online and keep a written one. I definitely learned my lesson. Several weeks of notes on 5 different strains lost. Well enjoy the pics at least.

Nothing too wild happened this week. I trimmed her up a bit today before taking pictures, she’s looking good. Doesn’t seem like much is really going on with the plant, but the buds do seem to be getting bigger. While trimming today, I think I found a spider in the leaves I removed. Should I be worried about this? It’s either eating insects or it’s just in there right? Hopefully there are no bugs for this thing to eat. 4 more weeks of flower. Wednesday update: Had an issue. Seems my timers stopped working. Light and filters/fans. Not sure when it happened, but I've reset lights to the normal time setting. Hope this doesn't affect her

plants were majorly defoliated and are flowering awesomely! just the small one is showing some deficiencies due to unstable pH ---- mid week update: i am becoming kind of concerned about buds themselves – they seem rather small at this stage 😳

Bonne reprise depuis la semaines dernière, du fait que j’ai tailler les feuilles, les secondaires se sont plus développés, il forme une belle canope actuellement Là floraison devrait pas tardé à arriver, on est actuellement à 14h d’ensoleillement quotidien , plus qu’à attendre que le sexe se déclare Pas de problème à déclarer, elle semble en très bonne santé, belle couleur de feuille, pas de tache, structure solide Elle commence à avoir une bonne odeur, j’aime beaucoup le parfum qu’elle dégage. En plus comme j’ai de la menthe marocaine dans le pots si dessous, ça se mélange très bien les deux ensemble. J’ai hâtes de pouvoirs faire un thé mauve mutant marocain avec ses deux beau bébé qui poussent

Hey guys . My cutting heating broke 3-4 weeks ago, which was fixed immediately and everything went wonderfully. Now, 3 days ago, the central heating broke down in the entire room, so that at night I only have temperatures of around 13 degrees :-( . One or the other lady is slowly starting to see a phosphorus blockage, as this can no longer be absorbed at temperatures below 15 degrees, like many other nutrients :-( . A friend looked at the heating yesterday and came to the conclusion that a real company had to do it, which is by no means possible for a stranger to enter my room. I quickly ordered heating mats for all the boxes so that the ladies could at least get warm feet. That's all I have this winter full can do . Let's hope everything will be fine 🙏🏻. As soon as the heating mats are attached in the coming days, I will post them in the pictures. Now for the update. Despite the severe cold, the ladies are still doing well and have made good progres . The ladies only had to be watered once this week, each time with 1 l, because it absorbs the water very slowly because of the cold and I don't want to overwater it. I took every single plant in the pot to take a close look at their roots. These are snow white and look very healthy 🙏🏻. It was also the last time neem oil sprayed so that the last trips are finally gone. Otherwise everything was checked and a lot of planning was done, like I do with the heating mats. Since a friend had the same problem in one winter and the heating mats got 10 degrees plus on the pots, I am very confident that it will at least bring something for the last cold month 😃 🙏🏻. I'll start flowering tomorrow by switching to 12 / 12 h because the ladies mustn't get too high because the small flowering tent is only 160 cm high :-) until then have fun and stay healthy 🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Strain at https://pcg.international/shop/pcg-int/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Acapulco, gold has gone absolutely crazy, and we have so many branches. I have lollipoped her this week, too. She is still stretching, hopefully that's going end real soon, because we have no room left in the tent, and we're getting light burn. I have been moving the plant around to maximise the light exposure and minimise the light stress and heat damage, she has been drinking heavily. However, I have not watered too much as I have a lot of fungus gnats in some of the other soil that I used so I'm going to be letting it dry out a little bit before I water again. I'm just trying to get the fungus gnat population under control with some sticky traps. Here is what I did this week. 19.8.25: I watered with 6.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; 💜 1ml Trace PH: 6.4 PPM: 355 20.8.25: I watered with 4L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with; 💜 1ml Trace 💜 1 TSP Biosys PH: 6.3 PPM: 340 21.8.25: I watered with 5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; 💜 1ml Ecothrive Flourish 💜 1 TSP Biosys PH: 6.5 PPM: 354 Thanks for checking out this week and for hanging out in the comments 😁💚✌️🌱🤞

21.06. Rainbow Sherbet 1# Day 56# Rainbow Sherbet 2# Day 54# With a little delay because I'm a lazy stoned person, and in addition the responsibilities regarding the plants are already starting to grow, and I also have a lot of work around the garden and then I don't always arrive in time to release the update. The plants are progressing well, but now they are already hungry, so the next watering is for food. Two days ago they were topped for the third time, I also topped the two highest side branches. Yesterday was the end of their eighth week, the pictures are also from yesterday. Last night I sprayed them with SMC for prevention, but none of those pests can harm the plant outside as well as inside..first of all, the plants are much bigger, and therefore have much more leaf mass, and secondly, it is nature, there are many of them in nature, the only thing that can destroy them all are caterpillars during flowering and mold when the humidity is too high or when there are frequent rains, everything else does not worry me at all. Tomorrow I will move them somewhere where there is a lot less grass because now they have already filled this space and they can't expand any further, so in order for them not to get too long and to go wider I have to move them where the grass and other plants won't bother them. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!
