- Week 6 -
----- Day 36 -----
No feeding today as it was tomorrow so nutrient line up isn't up yet. I'll do that tomorrow.
Ladies are perfect, I can't wait. less than 30 days away.
----- Day 37 -----
Today is feeding but back left is behind the other 3 again, gave the other 3 500ml of tap water (10ppm) to prevent turgor pressure loss while back left dries up.
Should be feeding in 3-4 hours. 23L 1100-1500ppm (new feeding, so ppm end is not known atm) 6.4 pH
Plants are insane, big Bertha has become middle Bertha as the other stems have fattened up quickly.
Speaking of which plants are in bulk period, 3~ weeks left so it's an exciting time to watch them fatten up.
**UPDATE** Fed at 1000ppm 23L 6.4pH
The removal of FloraNova Bloom, and letting the chelated Diamond Nectar go to work on the molasses brings down the "accountable" parts by the machine I use. 1000ppm is full strength on all fertilizers being used.
I might add more molassses in the future and bring it up to 2ml/L, and maybe a smidge of epsom salts next feeding via foliar or direct feeding after I do some research.
No more KoolBloom liquid, KoolBloom powder begins and she's a strong one.
----- Day 38 -----
Yesterday back left plant has me unnecessarily anxious. It didn't need watering till 2 hours before lights off.
What I did is fed the other 3 90% of the feeding, and only gave back left 10% (closed the irrigation heads till the end of feeding).
I'm HOPING it was the plant transitioning from pre-bulk flower to bulk-flower stage, and maybe it slowed down photosynthesis to concentrate on hormonal changes. I dont know I'm anxious and just talkin out loud.
I'll know within 72 hours if there's a major issue with back left. Plant looks fine, i'm just paranoid.
Pictures later today around mid light cycle. Buds are getting insanely fat.
**Update**
Was bored. Here's some wicked shots. Still 25-27~ days left and its big bulk time. Can't wait to see them at the end.
----- Day 39 -----
Everything is great.
Feeding late tonight or potentially tomorrow depending on back left plant. I want to make sure bottom center of the root zone has dried out and doesn't begin to mold before I water again.
This will also help prevent fungus gnats in the soil.
I'll keep the other 3 away from turgor pressure loss, but they got 90% of the feeding last time so I expect them to dry by the time back left is.
*** Update ***
Now the other 3 plants who were faster on water intake than back left yesterday have slowed down.
Weed growing knowledge at a Horticultural greenhouse scientific repeatable level is pure fucking garbage.
I have 6~ books and checked dozens of sites and there was major conflicting info on water intake.
That's the problem with cannabis, it was illegal for so damn long horticulture practices and knowledge never molded or were used in the process and now it's anyone's fucking guess as to who is telling truth or is spouting bullshit bro-science.
Don't even get me started on names.
What a stupid god damn naming system "counter-culture" created... I'm growing wedding cake.. WEDDING CAKE? Wtf.
That's stupid as shit. Give weed botanical Latin names based on appearance and technical factors PLEASE!!!!!!
If I could name this plant it would be (Cannibas v. hybrid 'multa-magnum-fragum-gemmae-dulcis') why? It's due to it being a; Cannabis plant, hybrid variety 'multiple big bud strawberry candy' showing off multiple long bud stems smelling of candy,
Is that more convoluted and arrogant than Wedding cake?
YES, it is.
Is it better?
YES fuck your stupid wedding cake name.
That's dumb. And you should feel bad.
Still want to argue? Name it Cannabis v. Hybrid 'crustulam nuptias' THERE! Wedding cake. fuuuck!
99.99% of plant names are Latin.
Anyways... back to the point...
I hypothesize that there is a secondary transition portion of flower where the plant (like in stretch transition) pauses its growth to move the hormone and nutrient production to other sources. This secondary pause happens JUST before bulk session begins.
This hypothesis states roughly that up until final big bulk period (last 3-4 weeks), fan leaves and sugar leaves could still be produced by the plant during a "predator" or "high weather event" situation that would cripple the plants photosynthesis for final bud/seeding production during early to mid stage flowering.
Once the plant has reached adequate nutrient reserves or some other time or light cycle based trigger, it removes the hormonal/internal production/ability of sugar/fan leaves still being potentially produced out of the internode stem cells and fully stops that ability and concentrates 100% of growth on bud structure and protection of bud structures through THC/CBA/CBC/CBD etc. (Im a little tipsy, can't spell cannabinoid leave me alone...) production.
Tonight I will at 30 minutes before lights off be judging the water requirements during sleep of each plant to prevent turgor pressure loss, and to allow each plant to finish this transition and get back to major water intake by feeding tomorrow morning.
It's insanely obvious somethings changed.
I Was worried that leaving back left plant with stagnant water in the bottom saucer (pot doesn't sit directly in the water but is 3 inches above it) had released mold spores and started destroying the root mass of the back left plant but:
1) No obvious plant death signs, weakness or other aspects of it being a slow death from bottom up.
2) The other plants did the same damn thing within 48 hours.... and the back left plant is by far the largest and gets the most "light" due to its size hence it would most likely (HYPOTHESIS) finish its secondary cycle a bit faster due to just volume and weight.
Listen i'm not gonna say this is all 100% correct knowledge, It's based off feeling and "knowing" plant cycles as a greenhouse certified Horticultural Technician.
Repeated efforts to grow and replicating situations that created these things over and over is the real proof and will come in time.
One major benefit is the fact I WILL be re-flowering these for the VERY LEAST 3 full flowering cycles as long as they don't die during flower to veg transition.
I will be getting them THC tested EVERY SINGLE flower cycle to prove without a doubt the "maximum maturity" possible of a weed plant re-veg flower cycling, just like how we know by the 5th or 6th successive clone, the DNA will deteriorate and the grow will be stunted or a lesser bud high and yield.
God I fucking ramble when I'm bored and tipsy.
----- Day 40 -----
Fed at 1350ppm 6.3pH 23L
Plants are doing great.
**Update**
Little fun video from mid light cycle.
Roughly 20-25 days left.
Will finish at 30% amber 70% cloudy and will cut branch by branch as they are done, not in a rush to do 1 single cut and will let them survive to re-veg easier and less stressful.
----- Day 41 -----
Easy day. Here's some pics.
Just basically have to watch the grass grow today.
----- Day 42 -----
Big photo day, used ruler for most shots.
End of beginning of bulk, big bulk starts tomorrow.
Could probably feed late night tonight but I'm going to just give 500-750 ml of water depending on roots needs before lights off.
Tomorrow will be a big feed for first day of week 7.
Tropicanna Glookies tips on back right are beginning to darken and become purple. I am hoping this whole plant turns purple in last 2-3 weeks.
We will see.
**Update**
Back right plant is starting to turn purple and FAST. Pretty awesome.

Running another of Green Houses newest strain, really excited to see how she turns out and what she can produce.
So I went with my usual germination method, Cup of water for 24hrs then move onto the wet paper towel for another 24hrs in my tent with the heater turned on to keep temps around 26 degrees.
I have added a video to show you guys the germination success.
Wish me luck guys & Happy Growing 👍🏾🌱💚

Day 36
First day of the final week of vegetation. Originally I was planning on vegging another few weeks but since the right girl already has a bigger bush than a 70s pornstar I'll flip soon, before space will be an issue. Preferably I'd veg the left girl longer as she is still lagging in size but it's too big of a mission to set up my second tent and move her over there.
Super easy day today, all I did was to give the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.1 water as well as tightening a few LST wires.
Day 37
All I did today was to tighten some LST wires, removing some more leaves down low on the plants, and watered the girls with pH 6.6 water. The left girl got around 2 liters and the right one only got a liter since she wasn't all that dry considering that she was watered yesterday. I also started brewing some compost tea to feed to the girls tomorrow. I used the same recipe as previously: worm castings, rock dust, biochar, lime, bentonite, neem meal, kelp meal, and some molasses.
Day 38
Open the tent today and was met by a surprise - one of the tops on the left girl had broken off. I tightened the LST wires yesterday and all was ok when I closed up the tent but I guess that I had tightened a bit too much so the top eventually broke. Sigh. Wasn't planning on topping again this week but yeah, gotta roll with it. Maybe I move one of the girls to the second tent after all. We'll see.
All I did in the tent today was to feed the girls some compost tea. Each girl got around 0.5-liter tea as a foliar spray and then an additional 2.5 liters in the pot. True to form I naturally forgot to pH the tea. No idea why I always seem to forget to pH my compost tea but I really should make an effort to remember it next time.
Day 39
All I did today was to give the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.6 water. She is so much bigger than the small plant so she drinks a lot more. Currently, I'm watering around 10% of the pot volume per day.
I'm pretty sure I will move out the petite girl and put her in my small drying tent and keep the right beast in my main tent as I'm kinda curious to see the yield I will get from her when she can spread out properly. I have already ordered another grow light and it should arrive tomorrow.
Day 40
Today was a busy day in the tent as one of the girls moved out to her new home. Before I go into details, I should take a step back and explain my setup.
I have this tiny tent that is 40x40x120 cm big (16x16x48 inches) that I use as a drying tent. It has a circulation fan, an extraction fan, a carbon filter, a temp/humidity monitor, and an inkbird humidity controller to control everything.
I have been considering turning it into a small grow tent to fool around and see what I can grow in such a small space. I've always been fascinated by small challenges, to see what you can accomplish within strictly set (and small!) boundaries — both in size and in budget.
I was planning on setting up this tent after the summer, but as I'm running out of space in my main tent, it seems like a good idea to do it now instead.
The only thing the tent lacks to start growing is a light, and I already have a ViparSpectra P600 light, but it is currently used for my chilis and tomatoes while they are waiting to move outside.
So I bought a new low-budget light to use with the veggies and move in the ViparSpectra light into the tent. The P600 is also a budget light, but I'm hopeful that it will still work well in such a small space. After putting in the light in the tent and measuring the PAR level, it looks like the ViparSpectra is more than up to the challenge as I had to dim the light not to fry the canopy below.
The entire build with everything in it (tent, light, fans, carbon filter, etc.) is well below 250 euros. So about half of what one of the lights in my main tent costs. lol.
Once the light was installed in the tent, it was time to move the left girl. First, I carefully removed the scrog net, and it was pretty easy as the plants hadn't grown into the net yet. The small tent has a tiny door that it was a challenge to get the girl in but with some help from my girlfriend and some brute force; the plant went in. It is very tight in there, and I will have to do some selective pruning for sure, but I'll do that over the weekend.
In the main tent, I moved the girl into the center and put back the scrog net. I will have to train her further to fill up the space entirely, so maybe I do another week of veg after all. I'll work on her over the weekend as well and see where I'm at on Monday.
I adjusted the lights to read similar PAR levels at canopy level in both tents, but once I go into flower, I'll bump up the main tent as I have CO2 in there, so the girl should be able to handle more light and heat.
Finally, I gave each girl 3 liters of pH 6.1 water.
I had to use the ultrawide lens on my phone to capture each plant in the photos. Fun to finally use that lens :)
Day 41
Today I moved the small tent back into its stealth location, another IKEA wardrobe. There's no real risk that anyone would discover my grow but I still prefer to keep everything as hidden as possible. Watered the girls, each one with 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. I also removed all LST wires from both plants but attached some new ones for the right girl. (I'm going to keep calling them left and right even though they aren't in the same tent anymore.)
Finally, I defoliated the bottom of the left girl. That's it. All in all, a really chilled day.
Day 42
Today was the last day of week 6 of vegetation. I know I said earlier this week that this would be the last week of vegetation, but I might veg the right girl another week. To give her a bit more time to fill out the tent. I'll decide that tomorrow, but in any case, I'll flip the left girl as her tent is so tiny, and I don't want her to get any larger.
The left girl is now 38 cm tall, and the right girl is 46 cm tall.
The right girl got 4 liters of pH 6.1 water today as she is sooo thirsty right now, but the left girl didn't need any today, so I left her alone.
I started brewing some compost tea (worm castings, rock dust, biochar, lime, bentonite, neem meal, kelp meal, and molasses) as I want to do one final foliar feed tomorrow before sending the girls into flower.

Week 2 of the flowering phase flew by 🌱💨. Unfortunately, I may have overdone it with potassium or kept the water level too high – the classic signs of clawing leaves were evident. Thankfully, they seem to be recovering now and are back under control 💪🍃.
My IR night experiment is showing clear results 🌌: The plants exposed to infrared radiation at night stretched significantly more. This might be especially beneficial for this indica-dominant strain as it leads to better canopy distribution, improved airflow, and reduced risks of mold and disease. Plus, the light distribution is much more efficient now, which I’m excited to see pay off.
On the downside, my Orange Sherbert turned hermaphroditic 😔. It’s hard to pinpoint the cause – overfertilization seems unlikely since I’m using only organic nutrients. I suspect it might be linked to an E-field experiment I’ve been running. To confirm this theory, I’ll conduct a new grow with a similar strain next year to see if the electric field negatively impacts cannabis development.
Stay tuned for updates! Drop a like and follow along for more grow insights 🌿✨. See you next week!
Woche 2 der Blütephase ist wie im Flug vergangen 🌱💨. Leider habe ich wohl etwas zu viel Kalium gegeben oder den Wasserstand zu hoch gehalten – die typischen Anzeichen von Adlerkrallen waren sichtbar. Zum Glück scheinen sich diese jetzt zurückzubilden und sind wieder unter Kontrolle 💪🍃.
Mein IR-Nachtexperiment zeigt bereits deutliche Ergebnisse 🌌: Die Pflanzen, die nachts mit Infrarotstrahlung bestrahlt wurden, haben deutlich stärker gestretcht. Das ist besonders bei dieser indica-dominanten Sorte wahrscheinlich von Vorteil, da es zu einer besseren Verteilung des Blätterdachs führt. Dadurch verbessert sich die Luftzirkulation, das Risiko von Schimmel und Krankheiten wird minimiert, und die Lichtverteilung wird effizienter. Ich bin gespannt, wie sich das weiter auswirkt!
Leider hat meine Orange Sherbert gezwittert 😔. Woran das genau liegt, kann ich schwer sagen. Eine Überdüngung halte ich für unwahrscheinlich, da ich nur biologischen Dünger verwendet habe. Ich vermute, dass mein E-Feld-Experiment eine Rolle spielt. Um das zu bestätigen, werde ich nächstes Jahr einen neuen Durchlauf mit einer ähnlichen Sorte machen und prüfen, ob das elektrische Feld tatsächlich eine ungünstige Rückentwicklung der Pflanze verursacht.
Bleibt dran, lasst ein Like da und folgt mir für weitere Updates 🌿✨. Bis nächste Woche!

Day 63 Flower
Well we’re coming to the end of the grow cycle. These plants are looking great. They’re starting to get a bit of purpling on the leaves and trichomes are clouding up. I flushed with 7 gallons of plain water with typhoon cleanse. It’s stripped about 300 ppm per gallon, got my runoff down to 110, and probably do an RO flush if I need to push it longer.
I am very happy with the stank, quality, density and trichome coverage on these buds. The smell is a ripe sweet lemon with and earthy hazy musk. Could use more lemon but I’m not going to complain. My house is rank and can be smelled outside even with the carbon filter going 24/7.
I’m super excited to see how the effect is on this strain. It’s one of my all time favorites and I’m pumped that it has turned out to be quality!!!
Happy Growing 🌱

⚡️⚡️ Instant Organic Feeding starts here!⚡️⚡️
Hey Growmies~!
Hope your week’s off to a great start!
So far, the Organic Instant Feeding method is working perfectly! I haven’t added any dry nutrients or Cal/Mag, and there are no signs of nutrient deficiencies.
It’s been about three weeks since I last top-dressed with dry nutrients, and as we head into the fourth, everything looks healthy. The only minor issue is a bit of phosphorus toxicity from using more bloom nutrients than veg nutrients, but it’s not a big problem. Her buds are filling out nicely, and we’ve got about two weeks left before harvest!
More trichome and bud pics coming soon~!
Hope you enjoy!

Ladybugs arestill working their ass off to catch all the aphids and 💩 (also have a lot of spiders , small and big✊)
I am still hunting for them all day long to kidnap them in my plants.. as you can see, i am getting a bit obsessed with them..😸
Love how they work on my plants, cleaning them all up..

Day 49 Flip day! Just flipped them to 12/12 took loads of leaves off. Let's see if I've guessed the sex right then 😏 I think I've got 3 fems but people still tell me I want know until I've flipped 🤷♂️🏼
Update: Day 50 and day 1 of flower looking very happy will give a nice feed when soil dries out. Lights are now maxed out and on Day 51, day 2 of flower I'm sure all 3 are definitely fems will keep eye on them next few days 👀
Update again: Day 53, Day 4 of flower and they looking beautiful 😍

Feed all 4 plants with nutes this week.
Money Maker and Chocolate Skunk received 100% of the formulation while both GPA Cookies strains received 50% strength.
I also added the AC Infinity Cloudforge T3 to generate more humidity and this seems to be helping!
Got the Photone app to help me calculate PPD and adjust light height.

This week was cool I did do a compost tea like I planned to. Took them out of the greenhouse for a couple days and I’m guessing that’s how the pollen got stuck on them.
P.S I be outside having whole photo shoots with them 😂

Pretty cool....i have two males of each cultivar to choose from as well as a female from each. The 3 females will get there own diaries.
Males-
-Koffee F8
#2 is just dumping pollen like crazy. Way more then #3 and has a fatter "Flower" structure
#3 has thinner "Flower" structure but is showing more purple then the #2.
I have plates colleting the pollen the best i can. Ive never grown a male plant past 3 weeks. This is exciting.
-Clover Shake
#1 male is very thin
#3 male is now showing sex and will go into the male tent
-Candy Master Star Dawg
#2 male
#3 male
Both going into the male tent
