Hey hey everybody! We are back here this week at the beginning of week 13 and it is almost that time… time to flip? ….I wish…. No, no…. I am trying to be good but I think I came up with a plan that will give me a rough idea of when I will see that light at the end of the tunnel- or we’ll at least flip that light to 12/12 haha- No no it is almost Christmas and things have been crazy over here. With the holiday madness upon us, I can’t tell all of you how much I have appreciated the relative silence (you know how it is, there are multiple fans running) time seems to slow down and it just us and the plants. Quite enjoyable. So as you already know, we are going to be on coast until we fill out the rest of that 3x3 scrog net- however just today on my way into work, I came up with what might be my new definitive plan… I have had a bit of trouble waiting, no doubt it will be worth the wait, but the wait has been difficult none the less… so here it is.. Here’s what I’m thinking- I have this going and I also have some fastbuds growing in the same area. What I am most likely going to do- is wait until it’s time for the fastbuds to come down to open up some space in the 5x5 and the rock candy cake can have all that space to herself- I will shift the scrog into the center of the tent and then flip the light schedule to 12/12 and let it run wild- it’s at this point I will most likely employ a more hands off approach so it can focus all of its energy on producing buds worthy of such a wait. The canopy is getting pretty lush and I really need to get in there and defoliate- I really lucked out, today was the last day I had to work until after Christmas so you KNOW I will be in there tomorrow plucking away at leaves (strategically of course) half kidding I’m probably still a whirlwind compared to some, but I’ve noticed- especially when it comes to autos, that my leaf selection has become much more refined when defoliating. PROBABLY gonna see a BIT less of that tomorrow as I have to open up the canopy but I still plan on being careful. Something else that was super cool who may not be following along with the other journal, happened oddly enough just the other day when I was doing dishes- I was scrubbing away with my phone all propped up so I could watch/listen to dude grows. And I heard the dude mention a contest on their website that I had entered… of course my ears perked up, I leaned in a little closer to take a look and was thinking to myself how cool it would be, even to see my picture in the background and sure enough there it was and they brought it up and commented on the submission and seemed to be genuinely enthused by it and let me tell you I am STILL riding high off that one! One thing that was cool too was a rep at a nutrient company had seen that and congratulated me as well and it was again just so cool and I’m honored to have been on there! I listen to them practically everyday at work- yeah words are not doing it justice right now but I was stoked!!! Other than that, the holidays are practically upon us so I’d imagine it’ll be a whole lot of family activity with a side of unintentional neglect that I plan on keeping to an absolute minimum because we are right around the corner from some excitement in that tent- that thing is going to be HUGE! So we have that to look forward to! And on that note, I just want to say that from our home to yours, I truly hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and I can’t wait to come back and get into the garden talk with all my growmies! Growers love everybody and happy holiday!! 💚🤙🌱🎅🏼🎁🎄

On the side note there was no stress up to this point . ON A SIDE NOTE : I waited way too long to switch to flower for my grow area . So I am gonna be bending them in all different fun ways .

Day 36 I guess I can call it bloom. Nice strong pistils shooting all over. She is the tallest so far making me raise my lights a little more. Day 38 Now Californian Snow is the tallest :) Ztrawberry stopped at a perfect height, it looks like she's gonna develop into a beautiful lady. Fat white pistils all over 😻 Day 39 Happy girl got 2500ml cm bg bb bh 6.3ph ~1EC She is perfect, symmetrical, stopped stretching at about 50cm, flowers are mostly leveled, branches are strong, leaves point up unless I water. I think she's also turning purple. Beaut 😻 Day 42 I think I saw some burnt tips but she still looks super happy and healthy. The most vigorous plant I've had.

Some nutrient burn showed Up but whatever..

Xhale is a great plant,,a keeper for me she finishes quick and full of tricomes it's sick,,she has a great buzz and the flavor turpines in a vape is very pleasant..I will keep her as a mother for sure

Good week. Day 41-48 from clone about day 21-28 in veg 3 weeks in clone

the weather in germany is still totally changeable. temperatures from 10 degrees at night to 30 degrees during the day. and lots of rain. she's still alive, that's the most important thing.

9-18 Day 14 Well, she is growin very well. I haven't burnt her yet! 😱😂. She is bigger every time I look. 1500ml ph 6.0 with yucca. Turned a fan on a bit, shes taking it well. Little extra on pictures. 😂 9-21 Day 17 Watered 2k ml recharge ph 6.2 Adjusted lst and removed bottom nodes. One of the 2nd nodes got injured in battle, I had to remove her too. She grows! 9-23 Adjusted lst slightly and watered with yucca. Enjoy!

She is as tall as the other plants positioned on the top shelf. I topped Cadillac1 but since she is asymmetrical, I don’t think topping will create 2 tops. Time will tell. All the girls bounced back after the topping.

End of week 4 a lot of trichomes are visible now even in fan leaves!!

This week went well. Overall the ladies are healthy. They ended up stretching a lil more. I do know this will be the final week of stretch before focusing on producing buds. Which will be my goal over the next week,more defoliation. Also I've been using liquid kool bloom with feedings..we shall see if it makes a difference.. will keep yall updated in my next upload ..Happy growing 😎🍃

So this week it was time for the girls to get a hair cut. (Defoliation) Took all bottom leaves and lower stems off. At the end of this week it time to put them in 24hr of darkness then for the flip to flower stage 🙌 Throughout my veg stage I have had no problems or deficiencies With the plant at this moment in time green house feed is working wonders, they may have converted me to there range of feed but only time will tell. 9L per plant of water with enhancer 27G

Week 10 Flower week 4 Flower-day 1 05/11/2025 Nutrients change Floramax veg1 Floramax Organabud Floramax flowering enhancer Floramax Rezin Cyco platinum series silica Green planet bud booster Complete grow cal mag ( sensi unfortunately got refunded so got this instead today ) Sleeps with the fishez ( hocI ) Ladies are looking good overall, let the fun goodness begin i guess 😂 7/11/25 Blockage within systems finally fixed after 4 flushes. Not exactly sure what it was but whatever ive done has fixed it for now 🤷‍♂️😂 take it as a win for now i guess 11/11/25 Unfortunately I hate scrogg so took it off but once I had spread her out again with lst, I noticed that shes struggling with lower growth. I saw this with my autoflowers. I'm not too sure if its from too many budspots,colas or if it's just from being overpacked. So her pisitils showed up on the 25th, some people count from that date as flower and some count as soon as you flip, I've decided to go of the 25th as first pisitils so its only 3 n a half weeks currently. I decided to take a few branches and a few of the lower budspots to try and help her even herself on where shes taking her sugars and growth. No Defoilation, just 10 or so budspots n only 3 branches. I DONT NOT RECOMMEND doing any of this, I'm only reattempting this because it worked on autos I had going. I do think I've made the right choice Grape og is meant to be a pretty hearty and forgiving strain, so she should bounce back pretty quickly Oh well. I'll definitely be rerunning her again later in future but trying a different method
