During week 7 the 3 plants continue to grow outstandingly well! The BADAZZ-CHEESE and ZHEETOS from BIG BUDDHA SEEDDS have a healthy green color and grow so much foliage that I have to defoliate on a regular basis. On day 43 (=flowering day 19) I take off all bigger fan leaves in order to ensure a better airflow thru the closet. The humidity is unfortunately still on the high side and sometimes exceeds 80% in the daily maximum, that is MUCH too high during flowering. I increased the dose of BIO NOVA nutrients according to their feeding scheme and all plants LOVE IT! The ZHEETOS #1 plant grows much taller than her sister ZHEETOS #2, therefore I decide to SUPER-CROP her on Day 48 (=FD 23). This technique developed by SOMA from SOMA-SEEDS is one of my favorites and I use it since years in order to bush out plants, which grow to high. Appr. 15-20 cm from the top of the plant, right above an internode, I take the main stem between two fingers and press very hard until I can feel the fibres inside the stem brake. By slowly pressing all around the diameter of the stem I create a weak spot at which I bend over the stem, so it looks 90-180 degrees downward. I do this very carefully to NOT BRAKE the outer skin of the stem while I bend the stem downwards. Even if some fibres brake, the stem will repair itself within a few days to a week and then start to point upwards again...👍😃 During the time the main stem needs to repair itself, all other side-stems will grow more upwards and this makes the plant bush out more. At the same time a super-cropped plant will produce bigger buds at harvest time, than a plant where you did not do that. Somehow the plant reacts to being hurt by getting stronger and producing more! CHECK OUT THE VIDEO ABOVE TO SEE ME SUPER-CROP! 😎 I also took a video ONE DAY after the procedure (on DAY 49), in order to show how resilient the plant is and how much she immediately repairs herself. Already then the main top has turned and points upwards to the light again, ITS FANTASTIC TO SEE! Simply a miracle plant...

Have been slacking on keeping notes however in the past weeks I have top dressed with 1tbsp/gal of GG 284, treated her with a generous amount of growers ally crop defender 3 that got rid of 95% of the bugs on her, moved her to a spot that is not in the path of light put out by a light on a power pole, and trimmed off all of the large yellowing leaves. After weeks of waiting she has finally shown her preflowers and will be getting one more good defoliation this weekend before flowering fully kicks in and she is focused on bud production. All is on the up and up even though we had a slight decline in plant health and my worriness for her but it seems as though she is loving life at the moment.

Avevo staccato due cime per pianta delle kmintz. Mantengono quello che sentivo mentre le toccavo. La prima pianta sa di caramelle zkittlez con un fumo che nell aria non è il classico odore di erba ma qualcosa di incensato e mi fa impazzire.La seconda è decisamente più complessa. Zkittlez/frutti di bosco/nocciola/gas. Ho scritto oggi a Ripper Seeds facendo vedere un po di foto e mi hanno detto di tagliarle pure anche se manca qualche giorno rispetto ai 63 dichiarati dalla casa.Ho già ricomprato 5 semi perché le rifarò sicuramente se non il prossimo ciclo quello dopo. Le due Watermelon Zkittlez proseguono la fioritura. A settimana prossima coltivatori 💪🤞

DE: In der achten Blütewoche erreicht Last Dance ein Stadium, das kaum noch in Worte zu fassen ist. Die Pflanzen wirken wie komplett überzogen von Kristallen, die Farben brechen durch, und die Terpene explodieren in einer Komplexität, die man nur bei echten High-End-Genetiken erlebt. Alles an diesen Pflanzen schreit: Finale – Premium – Elite. Phänotyp 1 – Der dunkle Funkgott Der Black-Magic-lastige Phäno läuft jetzt auf absolutem Endlevel. Die Sugar Leaves sind so dicht gefrostet, dass sie fast weiß erscheinen, während zwischen den Kelchen tiefe, dunkle Violett- und Schwarzgrün-Töne hervorkommen. Diese Farbkontraste wirken wie perfekt abgestimmt – als hätte die Genetik genau für diesen Moment designed worden. Die Buds sind jetzt maximal geschwollen: Die Kelche drücken sich übereinander, die Harzdrüsen stehen wie kleine Diamanten hervor, und die gesamte Textur wirkt dick, kompakt und schwer. Aromaentwicklung in Woche 8: Die Gassigkeit ist noch tiefer geworden, bekommt aber jetzt eine warme, dunkle Süße dazu. Noten von fermentierter Beere, altem Hash, tiefem Wald und schwerem Funk verschmelzen zu einem Terpenprofil, das wirklich nur Top-Tier-Phenos erreichen. Beim Anfassen bleiben dicke ölige Harzspuren an den Fingern – klassisches Zeichen für extrem hohe Harzproduktion und Potenz. Phänotyp 2 – Der saftige Zangria-Phantom Der fruchtigere Phäno blüht in Woche 8 optisch komplett auf. Die Pink- und Lilatöne sind jetzt viel deutlicher geworden und ziehen sich teilweise sogar in die Kelche hinein. Der Frost-Level ist so hoch, dass die Buds wirken, als wären sie von einer dünnen Glas-Schicht überzogen. Aroma in Woche 8: Das Terpenprofil ist inzwischen eine Symphonie aus: dunkler Traube, süßer Rotwein-Note, tropischen Früchten, frischer Kirsche und einer leichten Zitruswürze im Nachklang. Es ist nicht mehr „fruchtig“ – es ist komplex, schwer, dicht und riecht wie ein komplett eigener Signature-Terpenmix, der selten in dieser Form vorkommt. Beim Öffnen des Zelts mischt sich dieses Zangria-Bouquet mit dem dunklen Funk des ersten Phenos – ein absolut einzigartiges Erlebnis. Gesamteindruck Woche 8 – Der Höhepunkt vor dem Finale Jetzt in dieser Phase ist die Pflanze auf ihrem Zenit: - Buds komplett geschwollen - Farben brechen maximal durch - Trichome glasig-milchig, erste Amber-Punkte sichtbar - Aroma extrem komplex und deutlich intensiver - Harzanteil auf beeindruckendem Niveau – selbst Stängel sind sticky Die Pflanzen sehen aus wie Showcase-Material für eine Breeder-Website. Blick auf Woche 9 – Der perfekte Zeitpunkt zum Spülen In der kommenden 9. Blütewoche beginnt das Final Flush. EN: Week 8 – The Last Dance Showcase Phase By the eighth week of flowering, Last Dance enters a stage that’s almost impossible to capture with words. The plants look fully crystallized, the colors break through aggressively, and the terpene expression becomes so layered and complex that it feels like a signature masterpiece of high-end genetics. Everything about these plants says: Final stretch – premium – elite cut potential. Pheno 1 – The Dark Funk Titan This Black-Magic-leaning phenotype is now performing at absolute top-tier level. The sugar leaves are so heavily frosted they appear nearly white, while deep violet and dark forest-green tones push through the calyxes. The contrast is insane – almost cinematic – as if the strain was bred exactly for this late-flower moment. The buds are now at maximum swell: Calyxes stack aggressively, trichomes stand tall and dense like crystals, the entire flower mass looks heavy, tight, and fully matured. Aroma development in Week 8: The gassy core has become darker and richer, now wrapped in warm, heavy sweetness. Notes of fermented berry, old-school hashish, deep forest funk, and that unmistakable dark Black Magic spiciness fuse together into a terpene profile only elite phenos deliver. Touching the buds leaves thick, oily resin streaks on your fingers — a classic indicator of extremely high potency and mature resin glands. Pheno 2 – The Juicy Zangria Phantom The fruit-forward phenotype hits full visual bloom in Week 8. Pink and purple hues become more pronounced, bleeding slightly into the calyx tips. The frost level is so extreme the buds look like they’re coated in a thin sheet of glass. Aroma in Week 8: This terpene profile is now a full symphony of: dark grape, sweet red wine, tropical berry, fresh cherry, and a citrusy sparkle in the finish. It’s not “fruity” anymore — it’s deep, layered, complex, and genuinely rare in its structure. When you open the tent, the Zangria bouquet blends with the dark funk of Pheno 1, creating an aroma that feels completely unique and unmistakable. Overall Impression Week 8 – The Peak Before the Finale At this stage, the plant is on its absolute zenith: - Buds fully swollen - Colors breaking through in maximum intensity - Trichomes milky with scattered amber - Aroma dramatically intensified and highly complex - Resin production at showcase level — even stems feel sticky The flowers look like something straight from a breeder’s promotional photoshoot. Looking Ahead to Week 9 – The Final Flush In the upcoming 9th week, you begin the final flush. This stage ensures: a clean fade of excess nutrients, boosted terpene purity and clarity, smooth, clean-burning ash, and the highest possible quality for your final product. During the flush week, colors often deepen even further, buds harden up, and the aroma becomes sharper, more defined, and unmistakably finished.

Week 10 was more like week 11 but I dunno how to change the pics. I’ve really lost track of how long it’s been after stunting them so badly a couple months ago. I’m giving them 8 weeks (at least) in flower each regardless.

Purple queen #1 and the watermelon are much further ahead than the rest I think, crazy to see both purples looking so different. I did some Defoliation to most of the plants as it was getting really crowded in the tent, they seemed to love it and you can see all the new budding sites. Wish I had more space to play with the plants as I think I was a bit gredy doing 6, I've learnt so much over this time I've loved it. I love waking and up going to check on the progress 😌 💚 I cannot wait to smoke my own plants which I grew and know exactly how it's been grown 😝

Very high quality strain. No joke, I'm glad I have discovered such a fruity and sweet sativa strain. This m8 by gea seeds is a pleasure to smell, I'm so sad about growing her in that little 11l pot, hope next year I can make a very big bush full of fruity big colas 👨‍🌾🤤🍭🍓🍓🍏🍉🍉🍊 Loving the fragrance. Very recomended guys. Peace ✌️💚❤️💛

12/26 - Gave her a bucket change today and increased the PK while lowering the EC just a tad - the pH and EC had been telling me for a couple of days that she needed a change and needed more PK but a slightly lower EC ... so that's what she finally got after Christmas stopped my intense care of her. She wasn't unduly upset - but she's showing me some love right now since the bucket and nute change-up... All of her flowers are bulking up nicely and her colors are getting intense - REALLY dark! Friends who stopped by over the weekend were as mesmerized as I am! Cheers to all - next up, NEW YEAR'S EVE and more great growing from all of you! 12/27 - Needing to adjust the pH today which isn't surprising.. always happens after a bucket change but I'll get it stable - meanwhile, she doesn't seem to notice which is just fine by me! Love her!! 12/29 - The lady has the grow closet all to herself now and I've been able to pull her over and down a bit to get the lower buds closer to the light... #2 Bruce is completely out of the tent, harvested and drying... but I've got one coming up - just popped the seed in a glass of water yesterday - but Pinky won't mind, she'll still be the Star of the Show in the tent... Buds are fattening up nicely for a sativa and are, actually, a little surprising to me! She really is a pretty, pretty plant if I do say so myself!

Day 29. My friend is lazy and I have itchy fingers. Needed to do photos before, but generally he doesn't tuck leaves and expose branches, some are very underdeveloped, some are curly from being under leaf, not the best run .... Super healthy, about overstretched, I told him to increase light height every day - he does like me, only forced by plants almost brushing lights ... So internode current spacing - terrible. Girl in front is Wedding Cake. Gelato a bit taller. Still only water with small bacterial weekly top dressing. Happy Growing !!!

Esta variedad suele ser poco productivas pero una pasada para fumar o hacer cualquier tipo de extracción. La Blue Gelato 41 todo fue para ice y la verdad que un sabor increible! Una buena genética farmers!🍁

Purple Punch Auto gibt Vollgas. Krasser Stretch, sehr durstig. Ich habe Verfärbungen in den Blättern entdeckt. Chlorosen? Insgesamt sieht sie weiterhin fit aus. Ich versuche ein sanftes Spülen gegen eine evtl. Versalzung. Später stellt sich heraus, dass das wahrscheinlich geholfen hat.

Thriving in flowering tent 120x120cm [4x4 ft] 12/12 since yesterday (since it was almost full week still on veg I count it as last 8th week of vegetative phase) PPFD set around 600 µmol/s/m² - I want them to stretch somewhat in next few days so I can easily ScrOG them. Nets are already waiting on the side. You can clearly see difference between cultivars. Jelly Breath (left) are short and bushy and Sugar Canes are tall and lanky. Both strong and doing great 💪🌱

Esa familia, traigo la última semana de floración de las cookies gelato, increíble lo prietas que están , son flores muy compactas y llenas de tricomas. Un híbrido increíble, ya se ve productor y además se aprecia potencia en su flor. Ya deseando pegar machetazo y en unas semanas podré apreciar los resultados. . La humedad esta al 45% la temperatura está entre 21/25 grados , y como siempre el ph , ya que es de lo más importante,está en 5,8/6,0. . AgroBeta: Ya tenemos el lavado de raíces realizado, hemos retirado los nutrientes y finalizamos con un estrés hídrico. . Hasta aquí todo familia 🕸️ , un saludo y buenos humos fumetillas💨💨💨.
