*english version below* Blütewoche 3 – Das kontrollierte Chaos im Citrus-Labor Diese Woche hatte im Zelt etwas von einem wissenschaftlichen Versuch, der langsam beginnt, außer Kontrolle zu geraten – aber genau so, wie wir es wollen. Wachstum & Struktur Der Stretch hat sich nun offiziell beruhigt. Die Pflanzen tun jetzt so, als wären sie die ganze Zeit vollkommen zivilisiert gewesen. Statt Höhenrausch gibt’s nun fokussiertes Kraftbündeln in die Blüten. Das Dach ist mittlerweile eine homogene, grüne Welle, sauber ausgerichtet wie ein geordnetes Blatt-Array. Oben wurde schon etwas entlaubt – so viel, dass man es inzwischen kaum noch sieht, weil die Damen schneller nachlegen als man schneiden kann. Der große Eingriff steht aber noch aus: Lollipopping Phase II – die chirurgische Endrunde. Wenn der untere Bereich fertig freigestellt ist, bleibt nur noch pure Effizienzmaschine übrig: Stamm, Weg, Bud. Blütenentwicklung Die Blütenstände haben diese Woche einen riesigen Sprung gemacht. Von „Wir probieren mal was aus“ zu „Okay, jetzt legen wir richtig los“. Die Cluster sind gut verteilt, dicht, voller frischer, weißer Pistillen und alles schreit danach, dass die nächsten Wochen interessant werden. Und das Beste: Reib mal an einem Zuckerblatt – da kommt dir schon jetzt dieses knackige Zitronenterpen-Profil entgegen. So klar und frisch, dass es fast im Auge brennt… im positiven Sinne. Systemstatus – läuft wie ein Uhrwerk EC: stabil bei 1.5 Wassertemperatur: 19°C – Chiller arbeitet wie ein Kühlschrank auf Red Bull Raumtemperatur: 25°C RLF: 58–60% → perfekte VPD für frühe Blüte pH: brav stabil, keine wilden Ausreißer Technik-Showcase Die Under-Canopy-Beleuchtung sorgt jetzt für diesen „UFO-Unterboden-Glow“, der aussieht, als würden die Pflanzen gleich abheben. Das RDWC läuft absolut glasklar, O₂-Sättigung im Premiumbereich und die Mars Hydro oben drüber macht fleißig Druck. Und dann noch das neue Gadget: Dein Mikroskop. Ein Spielzeug, das vermutlich gefährlicher ist als jedes Add-On im Zelt, denn man will plötzlich ALLES analysieren: Harzköpfchen, Blattzellen, PPSI-Strukturen… und wahrscheinlich irgendwann auch, ob die Pflanzen heimlich zurückwinken. Fazit der Woche Blütewoche 3 bringt Stabilität, Aroma, Spannung und Vorfreude. Der Stretch ist vorbei, die Bühne gehört jetzt den Blüten – und die liefern. Mit der kommenden Lollipop-Operation und weiterem Lichtdruck dürfte die Anlage jetzt in die Phase kommen, in der man sich fragt: „Wie voll kann ein 120er Zelt eigentlich werden, bevor es rechtlich als Landwirtschaft gilt?“ -------------------------------------------------- Flowering Week 3 – Controlled Chaos in the Citrus Laboratory This week inside the tent felt like watching a scientific experiment slowly slip out of control — but exactly in the way we hoped for. Growth & Structure The stretch has officially calmed down. The plants are now pretending they were perfectly civilized all along. Instead of reaching for the sky, they’re now channeling all energy into bud production. The canopy has turned into a uniform green wave, aligned like a carefully arranged leaf array. Some defoliation was done earlier, though the girls have grown so fast that it’s barely noticeable anymore. But the big procedure is still ahead: Lollipopping Phase II – the surgical finale. Once the lower section is fully cleaned, only pure efficiency remains: stem, pathway, bud. Bud Development The flowers made a huge jump this week. They went from “We’re experimenting…” to “Alright, now we’re getting serious.” The clusters are evenly distributed, dense, and bursting with fresh white pistils — everything is signaling that the next weeks are going to be fun. And the highlight: Rub one of the sugar leaves… that crisp lemon terpene profile already hits you. Sharp, fresh, and almost stinging the eyes — in the best possible way. System Status – Running Like a Machine EC: steady at 1.5 Water Temp: 19°C – chiller performing like a fridge on energy drinks Room Temp: 25°C RH: 58–60% → ideal VPD for early bloom pH: stable and obedient Tech Showcase The under-canopy lighting now creates this “UFO glow” underneath the plants — looking like the whole root zone is preparing for lift-off. RDWC is crystal clear, O₂ levels are premium, and the Mars Hydro above is pushing photons like it means it. And then… the new gadget: Your microscope. A toy more dangerous than any nutrient bottle — because suddenly you want to analyze EVERYTHING: trichomes, leaf cells, stomata, probably even if the plants secretly wave back. Weekly Verdict Flower Week 3 brings stability, aroma, excitement, and anticipation. The stretch is done, the stage belongs to the buds — and they’re delivering. With the upcoming lollipopping operation and increasing light intensity, the setup is entering that phase where you start to wonder: “How full can a 120×120 tent get before it legally counts as agriculture?”

Hi buddz and buddettez how is it growing?😁👍 So another week ended into the greenhouse, fall is kicking in hard and temps dropped to 17 celsius daytime. The tomatoes are almost done, did it extremly well and what a taste and colours this year it was amazing. The Runtz is full into flowering, producing some very decent buds. I am very impressed by her, the canopy is looking great, nice evenly spread, and hopefully by having her lollipopped al the way up to 1 meter, the mold will back off this time🤙 To really go in war with this bud eating sucker, i added a fan to keep the air flow maximized. Lets hope for the best, the days are getting colder and wetter and so is the inside of the greenhouse😁🙌 The Santa Maria Auto doesnt want to grow up, stuck in her dwarfish bubble, i planted her to late into the season, better of next year. She will be one of the first to pop cause she needs to be finished mid summer were the climate is the most dry. The Blue Gelato 41 Clone is doing fine, after she rooted she could only grow/acclimate 2 weeks befor going into flower, top bud seems to be a fatty little one😋 Last water feeding was about 5 weeks ago, they never complained, the tomatoes burst when you water to much, beside that the ground is kinda slope towards my greenhouse, so they pick up alot of water from underneath😁🤙 Have a great week all, enjoy life to the fullest and happy growing

We are at 21 days from these girls breaking the surface and they are making progress. I noticed at the beginning of the week that they were a little overdosed on nitrogen so I added 2 gallons of tap water to the reservoir and adjusted the ph to 6. They are still looking a little heavy on N but their growth rate is going great so I think it should balance out by the end of next week. I dont plan on doing a water change until I flower them. I left the plants alone most of the week. Tied most of them down to spread them out and defoliated a few lower leaves on day 20. The branches on most of these plants are thick and solid already. They don't budge easily. Bananasicle is looking pretty funky with uneven branch and node growth but we are just going to push forward. Still pumping nutrients and beaming light 24 hours a day. I'm thinking day 28 we will switch them to flower and see if any of these ladies can bring some❄️🔥💨

Things are going good, but I have made a few mistakes along the way which have hurt my yield. All is explained in the video (if it plays). Thanks for Watching & Happy Growing guys 👍🏾😎

Another one of the plants i opted to chop a bit earlier to give me some space to finish up my og kush and island punch.. The buds are great. Super sticky and very dense.. Layers of crystal and a lovely citronella and pine smell with some sweet undertones. Will be a nice smoke and i shall be back to report. Thanks AMS

Week 6 - Transition to Flower (First Bloom Week) The Donutz squad has officially entered the bloom phase, kicking off the first week of flower in style. The upgrade to 7L pots has gone smoothly, and the plants are thriving in their new space. Monday marked the start of the flowering cycle, and everything is set up for an efficient and productive Sea of Green. Setup Adjustments: Canopy Leveling: The taller plants in the front row are left as-is, while the shorter ones in the back have been placed on top of the empty 3.7L pots. This ensures an even canopy for maximum light distribution. Defoliation: Everything under the net that wouldn’t develop into usable bud — based on past experience — has been trimmed away. The focus is now entirely on the top canopy and cola production. Nutrients & Care: Flowering Nutrients: Greenhouse Feeding Bloom is in play, with 30g applied per 7L pot (following the recommended 3-5g per liter). This should carry the plants through the stretch phase and provide a strong start for flower development. Watering: Still cruising with reverse osmosis (RO) water, keeping things clean and steady. Light Intensity: Slowly ramping up the light week by week to avoid shocking the plants, aiming for full intensity once they’ve settled into the flowering phase. Plans for the Stretch & Beyond: A second net is ready to go for after the stretch, ensuring the canopy remains supported and those fat nugs don’t collapse under their own weight. Continued monitoring of canopy height and plant health as they shift their energy into flowering. Observations: The Donutz are responding well to the flowering transition, with no visible stress. The even canopy and clean lollipop structure are setting the stage for optimal bud production. Everything is lining up perfectly for a strong flowering run. The Donutz are about to shine, and the tent is poised to deliver a heavy, uniform harvest. The Florida Gang energy is real — time to watch the nugs stack!

She’s tripled in size and doesn't seems to have stopped stretching yet. I had to zoom my camera out to get her photo. Moved lights up again and she’s back to being 6” under. Up they go again. Lots of nice pistils growing all over. She’s getting thirstier too, upped feeding to 2 litres a day to produce 10% run off (2 watering a day in total). I’m going to defoliate a bit this week. The last photo is of 4 of her clones, suppercropped in solo cups, growing at 90 degree angles 12/12 on a little shelf.

Got my screen of green out of this week. And I am loving how well the plants are responding to it. It wasn't quite as tedious as I thought it might have been having to leave the plants. I'm still debating on cutting off a few of those lower limbs although they do have some bud spots on them it's probably going to be some smaller popcorn buds. Also I believe they drank more water last week than they have so far which I guess is congruent with their growth. I'm noticing on one of the plants some of the lower leaves are starting to turn yellow, I'm using calimagic, but I'm unsure if there are still some nutrient deficiencies. Also I still see the fungus gnats so I'm going to buy some stuff this week the soil just doesn't get dry enough before I need to water it again for them to be gone.

Fastberry Auto is truly a gem among autoflowering cannabis strains! Its rapid growth, delightful berry-like aroma, and beautiful purple buds make it a joy to cultivate. The sweet and fruity flavor is a treat for the senses, and the balanced high leaves me feeling creatively inspired and deeply relaxed. A must-try for any cannabis enthusiast, whether you're a seasoned grower or just starting out! -

Giorno 49 Qualche pianta (Crystal Candy XL) mostra carenze di cal-mag o un mancato assortimento di nutrienti dovuto a ph sballato (lo so devo essere più preciso e misurare sempre acqua soluzione e scopo) devo ancora cercare di capire questa puntinatura marrone con necrosi fogliare da cosa sia dovuto La Grape Rolex V2 anche lei mostra qualche segno con un ricurvamento verso il basso di alcune foglie ma tutto sommato sta bene. Ci vediamo settimana prossima 🖐️ 🤞
