During week 3 all plants are growing well inside the Growfor.Life-Closet and have a healthy green color. The latest addition: Double Dutch plant #3 (from Serious Seeds) is behind the rest, but also doing well. On Day 18 the biggest three plants, Double Dutch plant #1 and #2 and OG-Kush have gotten so big that a first round of defoliation was necessary. I do this in order to avoid big leaves touching each other and causing dampness to condensate between the leaves, which in turn can attract fungus and mold. Therefore i take off all the big fan leaves starting from the bottom of the plant and only leave the top two fan leaves on the plant. Now the air can flow freely through the canopy again and no leaves are touching and no dampness can condensate. The plants are still getting no extra nutrients, since the PLAGRON Grow-Mix I use should still have plenty in it. I only use RHIZOTONIC from CANNA one time in order to enhance the root-production. Now at this stage you already can clearly see differences between Double Dutch (from Serious Seeds) and OG-Kush (from Humboldt Seeds). The leaf shape is different (smaller and more pronounced fingers on the leaves of OG-Kush) and also the growth pattern (more like Indica in Double Dutch). On Day 19 I decide to do some LST (=low stress training) in order to train the 3 biggest plants into a bushier form. This is necessary, because the Growfor.Life-Closet is limited in height and I want the plants to fill out the whole area well with budding sites. I use stiff insulated copper-wire (standard electrical wire, pieces of appr. 30 cm length) and bend small arches, which I then carefully place over the top-part of a side-branch and push the open ends of the wire downwards into the soil so it holds the branch in place, while its bent outwards away from the main stem. This way I 'fan-out' the lowest 4 side-branches, so they are growing upwards at places where the light can reach them better. (see in detail in video) All plants respond well to the LST and turn their leaves and tips of the side-branches towards the light again until the next day. At day 19 the plants are now almost 20 cm tall, therefore I also decide to switch to 12/12 hours of light/darkness now in order to induce flowering. I change the program of the Growfor.Life-Closet from the standard-grow-mode (=18 hours of light per day) to the custom-flowering-program (12/12 hours of light, where I can choose the time when the lamps turn on). Now the plants will grow slower until they start to flower. I LOVE THE Growfor.Life-Closet, its sooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL and soooooooooooooooo SILENT, a landmark technical development in my opinion! This is growing made stealthy and effortless, GROWING OF THE 21st CENTURY!

Day 64, 22nd of November 2021: Hi there! Here we go..... so basically pistils are appearing stronger this is the 2nd weeks since they started producing pre flowers. The plants getting a bit light might be some air circulation problem? However they look good and of course closer to the end the gettin' older so the leaves also die. Set up and timing is the same since flower season started. ViparSpectra XS2000 is on full power which is 240W so 100% capacity. Ventilation: 12 hours period when the lamp is on it switches 1 hour on and after one hour off mostly to keep the temperature and of course because of fresh air flow. When the lamp is off it switches on in every 2 hours for 15 min at the same time with the extraction fan. The extraction fan is on 12 hours when the lamp is, and then it switches on in every 2 hours for 30 min. That's all a bit more water for them from today also. Humidity quite the same approx 50%, temperature as well approx 26-27 Celsius. Fertilization remains the same since last week, the BioBizz family raised up to be 2ml/L each so it is like 2ml/L of BioGrow, 2ml/L of BioBloom, 2ml/L of TopMax... see the ratio above. The schedule of the fertilization has not changed happnes 2x a week except epsom salt just 1x a week.

She was a stretcher and it hurt her production taking it as my fault till I see what the clones do Two years ago we began with an LSD harvest and now we end with one, rather fitting. Clones combined wet weight 720 grams in dry over next couple of days 173 grams dry from clones

Week N-3. The Cookies plant is doing well. grows normally. Easy Boost Organic Nutrition works perfect. I added GHE Diamond nectar and GHE Roots this week. You can see, that I started to train plants using LST and FIM. I water the plant every day; Plants are not stressed and continue to grow normally. On the next week I plan to do: 1. Put on the air filter, as you can smell a wonderful smell right now. unfortunately not wonderful for everyone. :) 2. Place the grid for SCROG. The plant has a lot of branches, which is very pleasing. So the SCROG- MUST have. |:)

Same as week 15, missing a lot of pictures in the timelapse. The storm caused part of the seal to be broken, and the person taking care of it this week was unable to fix it properly. I only got to fix it about two days after, so there has been some light pollution :(.

16.3.25: I decided to go ahead and take her down. The plant was stunted by my horribly executed LST. Inevitably turned into HST. Very pretty buds. 😋 should be a nice smoke.

Am Freitag habe ich zuletzt 10 ml Bio-P-K gegeben. Dann ist es passiert: Ich habe die Pflanzen übergossen. Glücklicherweise habe ich gute Stofftöpfe, sodass es kein größeres Problem war. Am nächsten Tag schaute ich in die Growbox und konnte meinen Augen kaum trauen – die oberen Blätter waren welk und braun. Das war enttäuschend. Ich begann sofort mit Nachforschungen: drei Stunden lang verglich ich Bilder, las Blogs und versuchte, die Ursache herauszufinden. Ich muss gestehen, ich hatte schon geahnt, dass so etwas passieren könnte, denn der Abstand meiner Lampe betrug nur noch 2 bis 10 cm. Verzweifelt habe ich die Lampe mit Paracord um weitere 7 cm höher gehängt – mehr ging wirklich nicht wegen der Zeltdecke. Ich denke, dass es drei Ursachen für die Probleme gab: Lichtbrand, Hitzestress (da die Lampe nur 3 cm entfernt war und ich Temperaturen von 34-37 Grad gemessen habe) und außerdem die Überwässerung. Fazit: Hängt die Lampe immer weit genug weg und gießt die Pflanzen nicht zu viel!

D71/F19 - 11.25 - Got them all defoliated. Everything is looking open, lots of light for the flowers, lots of room to grow and good airflow. I've got a couple co2 bags hanging in there too now. D75/F24 - 11.29 - Responded well to defoliation. Getting chunky! <3

Week 10 This wonderful plant is going wider (and bigger) than ever thought. Flowers are coming at a fast pace now and making a vast surface of different side branches. The skeleton of the plant is clearly visible at the pictures taken from below. The other plant is doing just fine, but rather smaller than the other one (the one that is topped). Flowers are also more abundant and the pistils from both plants are getting really fat (but slightly brown at the tips). Not really any trichomes are found and smell is still very low, more to the "plant-ish" smell than a banana smell, but that is still coming. Both plants are scheduled on 12 weeks, so we'll wait it out.

Jiffy germination peat tablets were used for germination. Seeds were put there straight out of the capsule, I haven't put the seeds into the water as I had done before for previous grows.

I'll report back with weight post dry and trim. Extremely high hopes for this strain, grew basically perfect start to finish. The one additional comment I have is on the wicking self watering base from AC Infinity I used. It did really well at keeping the soil damp, but not wet. Not sure if there will ever be issues with root rot, but I was careful to let the reservoir empty between waterings. The one downside to it is once it's set, you can't really move the pot at all without messing up the wicking ropes. Pros vastly outweigh the con though as you can leave it several days with a full reservoir.

Erntedankfest, der Tag der Tage ist gekommen. Man muss auch mal dankbar sein was Muttererde einem so schenkt. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis. Wird jetzt im Küchenschrank aufgehangen und getrocknet. Im Anschluss gibt's noch ein Update :). Peace Out!

Entering week 7 and this plant is one of a kind! Really getting fat, not a lot of frost on her but still enough time for her to shine! Sturdy little girl, recovers very well from HST (and accidentally topping)
