Week two wrap-up Key Milestones for Week 2: · Day 8: Fan fell and broke a large branch off Plant 2. · Day 9: Bound the branches to the pot covers to spread the canopy. · Day 10: Severe pH crash (4.9/5.2) — corrected with pH Up. · Day 11: PPM spiked into the 700s — corrected with RO water dilution. · Day 12: Bud sites became visible. Internodal spacing is tight. · Day 13: Heavy nutrient consumption established. PPM stabilized between 570–612. · Day 14: Roots measured at 90 cm (P2) and 1.5 meters (P1). Hydroguard still in transit. --- Reflections from BAM (Bryan) Thoughts on the last 7 days: I've done this nine or ten times before, but never with this level of precision. This week was a trial by fire—broke a branch, fought a pH crash, and had to skim Big Bud off the top of the bubbler. And yet, I've never seen my roots look this good. I'm learning the hard way that shortcuts don't work, but the right way works every time. Quote from BAM: "Turns out, you can't cheat the chemistry. But when you get the mixing right, the plants don't just survive—they thrive. I'm seeing things I've never seen before." --- Apex's Take You didn't just survive Week 2. You learned how to bend when a branch broke, how to stabilize when pH crashed, and how to mix when the old ways failed you. The roots are longer, the buds are forming, and the data is cleaner than it's ever been. We are entering the bud swell phase with a stable foundation and a clear path forward. "You can't always prevent the fan from falling, but you can always control how you recover. Week 2 taught you resilience. Week 3 will show you the reward." — Apex

Got the Spider Farmer wicking system set up with a reservoir. Up until now I’ve been using purchased pure water since it came with a better starting pH than my tap. After running the numbers, the cost of hauling jugs didn’t make sense long term. I ended up grabbing an RV water inline filter for the garden hose, which strips out most of the chlorine and other contaminants I was worried about. Goal was mostly a stable water source because the girls are getting thirsty; I still prefer hand-watering to wet and activate the top dress. Access is only from one side of the 5×5, so as they bulk up I’m learning the back two are a chore to reach. The wicking pads help keep things even between rounds, but I’m still going in by hand to finish the job. Did a defoliation pass; airflow and light paths improved, but I may need to push it a bit further because I don’t want a lot of larf. Crazy how much plant material I pulled off but they seem fine. Light feels like the current yield limiter. The SF4000 is solid but a touch undersized for full 5×5 penetration, the lower canopy isn’t getting what I want. I’m eyeing a higher-wattage bar style light for better edge uniformity and deeper PAR at canopy. I’ve been testing edge light saturation with the SpiderF PPFD sensor at canopy height. Center readings are strong but the corners and long edges are clearly lacking. Smaller tent or smaller plants another option maybe. Im at 100% on my light and will be for the rest of the grow just raising it to keep distance. Plants look happy overall. The Durban Cookies is standing out, taller and more vigorous than the 10th Planets especially for being a week younger than the rest. I am guessing it will be harvested first just by stretch speed alone. The 10th Planets R1s all have a pretty even canopy going but showing stretch. Wicking system + hand-water combo is keeping the media right where I want it, and the top dress from last week is kicking in. Reminding everyone this is my first grow. Hoping for a pound dry, but I won’t be greedy. Keeping my expectations realistic! Thanks for following along.

Hey starting new diary, last experience was a blast and I learned alot. Also now I am enjoying my own produced ganja. This is one of maybe 15 clones I tryed to root. Only this one made it so far and another one is still trying. The others didnt make it. As you can see this clone was flowering because i kept it in the late flower stage tent. I harvested this tent and like a week ago I changed lights to 24/0 and today I noticed it began shooting new leaves. And here we go again to the next cycle.

Richtig fett 🤩 Diese Woche noch Vollgas, ab nächster Woche wird der EC runter gefahren um Verbrennungen zu verhindern und die Natürliche Farbgebung zu stärken. Die Pflanze sieht sehr vital aus und die Blütenbildung und vorallem der Geruch sind umwerfend. Jetzt werde ich noch ein letztes mal Blätter entfernen um der Fettung und Reifung der Blüten das beste Milieu zu bieten. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit ist etwas niedrig aber das ist schon ok, die Pflanze verträgt das scheinbar sehr gut. Demnach habe ich keine Angst, das hier Schimmel entsteht. Frohes growen :)

Blütetag 66 / Tag 126 – Final Ripening – Kush bereit, Gusher kocht noch Der Dutch Passion Double Run geht jetzt klar in die finale Reifephase. Beide Pflanzen zeigen sehr deutlich ihre genetischen Unterschiede – vor allem beim Reifetempo. Während die Triangle Sherbet Kush schon stark nach Ernte aussieht, lässt sich die White Gusher 33 noch etwas Zeit. 🌡️ Klima Klimatisch wurde es diese Woche wieder etwas kühler und feuchter. Das merkt man im Zelt sofort: Die Luftfeuchtigkeit steigt schneller und der VPD wird etwas schlechter. Ohne Klimaanlage lässt sich das nicht immer perfekt ausgleichen, aber in dieser späten Phase dürfte das die Pflanzen nicht mehr wesentlich beeinträchtigen. 🌿 Pflanzenstatus Beide Pflanzen befinden sich sichtbar im Endspurt, allerdings mit unterschiedlichem Tempo. Die Triangle Sherbet Kush wirkt inzwischen nahezu ausgereift. Die Buds sind massiv angeschwollen, dicht und schwer. Viel Wachstum passiert nicht mehr – sie konzentriert sich jetzt hauptsächlich auf Reife und Harzproduktion. Auch die Blattstellung zeigt das deutlich: Viele Fächerblätter stehen im typischen Kanu-Modus und wirken fast unbeweglich. Die Pflanze signalisiert ziemlich klar, dass sie langsam fertig ist. Die White Gusher 33 dagegen braucht noch etwas Zeit. Sie wirkt insgesamt etwas aktiver und schiebt stellenweise sogar noch leicht nach, obwohl einige Buds schon recht weit aussehen. Struktur / Genetikvergleich Gerade jetzt zum Ende wird der genetische Unterschied besonders sichtbar. Die Triangle Sherbet Kush bringt klassische Kush-Struktur: extrem kompakte, schwere Buds, dicht gestapelt und massiv angeschwollen. Die Blüten wirken fast wie gegossen. Die White Gusher 33 ist ebenfalls sehr frostig und kompakt, wirkt aber insgesamt etwas struppiger und leicht blättriger aufgebaut. Zwischen den Buds sitzt etwas mehr kleines Blattmaterial, und durch das leichte Foxtailing wirkt die Struktur lebendiger. Kurz gesagt: • Triangle Sherbet Kush: kompakte, schwere Kush-Buds • White Gusher 33: etwas sativa-lastigere Struktur mit Foxtails 🔬 Blütestatus / Trichome Bei der Triangle Sherbet Kush sind bereits einige bernsteinfarbene Trichome sichtbar. Viele Köpfe sind milchig, aber noch nicht vollständig durchgehend trüb. Eigentlich wäre sie schon fast im Erntefenster, darf oben aber ruhig noch etwas weiter Richtung Bernstein gehen, damit auch die unteren Buds sauber ausreifen. Die White Gusher 33 ist hier noch etwas zurück. Milchige Trichome nehmen zwar zu, aber Bernstein ist noch kaum vorhanden. Dazu kommt, dass sie stellenweise weiterhin Foxtails bildet – teilweise sogar an kleineren Buds, bei denen man dachte, sie wären schon fertig. Genau das macht das Timing etwas tricky. Was beide Pflanzen aber deutlich gezeigt haben: Diese Woche wurde noch einmal kräftig eingezuckert. Die Harzproduktion hat sichtbar zugelegt und der Geruch wird zunehmend stechender und intensiver. 💧 Pflege Die Nährstoffphase ist abgeschlossen. Gegossen wird jetzt nur noch mit klarem Wasser, damit die Pflanzen sauber in die Endreife laufen können. ⏳ Ausblick Jetzt beginnt das klassische Ernte-Timing-Spiel. Die Triangle Sherbet Kush wäre vom Gefühl her eigentlich schon bereit. Die White Gusher 33 braucht dagegen noch ein wenig Zeit. Darum heißt es jetzt: Geduld. Eine Ernte in etwa einer Woche ist gut möglich – es kann aber auch sein, dass die White Gusher noch etwas länger stehen bleibt. Viel fehlt auf jeden Fall nicht mehr. 🏁 Wochenfazit Kush ist bereit. Gusher braucht noch. Grow on 🌱 Rocko Flower Day 66 / Day 126 – Final Ripening – Kush ready, Gusher still cooking The Dutch Passion Double Run is now clearly entering the final ripening phase. Both plants are showing their genetic differences very clearly – especially when it comes to ripening speed. While the Triangle Sherbet Kush already looks very close to harvest, the White Gusher 33 still wants a little more time. 🌡️ Climate The climate this week became a bit cooler and more humid again. You notice that immediately in the tent: humidity rises faster and the VPD drops slightly. Without an AC it’s not always easy to balance perfectly, but at this late stage it shouldn’t affect the plants too much anymore. 🌿 Plant Status Both plants are clearly in the final stretch, but moving at different speeds. The Triangle Sherbet Kush now looks almost fully matured. The buds are massively swollen, dense and heavy. There isn’t much growth happening anymore – it seems to focus mainly on ripening and resin production. The leaf posture also says a lot: many fan leaves sit in the typical canoe position and hardly move anymore. The plant clearly signals that it’s almost finished. The White Gusher 33, on the other hand, still needs a bit more time. She looks slightly more active overall and in some places she even keeps pushing a little more, although some buds already look quite advanced. Structure / Genetic Expression At this stage the genetic differences become especially visible. The Triangle Sherbet Kush shows classic Kush structure: extremely compact, heavy buds stacked tightly and swollen to the maximum. The White Gusher 33 is also very frosty and compact, but overall appears a bit rougher and slightly leafier. There are more small sugar leaves between the buds, and the light foxtailing gives the flowers a more lively structure. In short: • Triangle Sherbet Kush: dense, heavy Kush buds • White Gusher 33: slightly more sativa-leaning structure with foxtails 🔬 Flower Status / Trichomes The Triangle Sherbet Kush already shows some amber trichomes. Many heads are milky, though not completely cloudy yet. She’s basically already inside the harvest window, but it wouldn’t hurt if the top buds develop a little more amber so the lower buds can fully mature as well. The White Gusher 33 is still slightly behind. Milky trichomes are increasing, but amber is still rare. She is also still producing some foxtails, even on smaller buds where you would think development was already finished. One thing that became very obvious this week though: Both plants got noticeably more frosty. Resin production clearly increased and the smell is getting sharper and more intense. 💧 Care The nutrient phase is finished. From now on the plants are only getting plain water as they move into the final ripening stage. ⏳ Outlook Now it becomes the classic harvest timing game. The Triangle Sherbet Kush feels almost ready already. The White Gusher 33, however, still needs a bit more time. So for now it’s simply about waiting a little longer. Harvest in about one week seems possible – but it could also be that the White Gusher stands a bit longer. The finish line is very close now. 🏁 Weekly Summary Kush is ready. Gusher still needs time. Grow on 🌱 Rocko

Day 70 and they are all piling on the weight nicely. I have started to flush one of the four as it nearly completely oranged up but the others still have a good amount of time before they're ready. I have defoliated them this week and the smell is so sweet it's beautiful. Exciting times ahead! stay safe and stay stoned ✌️🏻

Die Woche ist sehr gut verlaufen, ich habe gestern die überschüssigen sonnensegel entfernt das mehr Licht an die unteren Triebe kommt, die Lampen auf 60cm Entfernung gehalten bei 40 Prozent Licht Leistung. Am Sonntag leite ich die Blüte ein! Bisher super Genetik, nach dem beschneiden kein Wachstums stop null Stress Zeichen, ich bin sehr zufrieden bisher mit Purple City Genetics 😘😊 Schöne Woche euch allen 👾 The week went very well. Yesterday I removed the excess awnings so that more light could reach the lower shoots and kept the lamps at a distance of 60cm with 40 percent light output. I'll start flowering on Sunday! Great genetics so far, no growth stop after pruning, zero stress signs, I'm very happy with Purple City Genetics so far 😘😊 Have a nice week everyone 👾

Started training

Very good plant to grow 8/10 for me 💯💯🔥 very high yielding with a crazy yield of 131grams of 1 plant very tall and skinny but dense buds 🙏🏽

Started with the LST. The idea is to not top them, just do LST. This week I'll probably start making my SCROG net and start tucking.

Está semana el viernes 4 echamos te de compost aireado que lo tuvimos 24h cocinando y el sábado 5 defoliación agresiva de satélites y ramas que no le daban la luz

Davvero buono, gusto e sapore unico

The plants seem to do very well they have been suffering from a little bit of Heat stress and too much light intensity the light was at 7 in to the tallest (plant#1) and 17 inches to the rest to see if I could get out bigger buds but was way too close and the plants became way too stress and uncomfortable with it. They prefer temperature of 29 adegrees Celsius as with a humidity minimum of 45 to 50. The lights are currently at 20 inches and they seem to like it much better. The smell is like a citric skunk very pleasant. Day 66 plant #1 starting to become very heavy for their branches very nice problem to have. I'm hoping I can take them down all at 13 week but we will see how it goes. I will only dedicate probably a full week for Flushing no more than that. Thank you for reading I will continue to update and have a happy grow.

Throughout the week, I give compost tea, and fermented plant juice once each ^^ Hope you guys have a wonderful day today ^^v *** Please Like, comment & share *** Highly appreciated -----/-----<@

Start Woche 3 Blüte. Heute wurde das erste mal Entlaubt und ein paar der untersten Triebe kamen weg. Nun haben sie wieder etwas Luft. Die rechte Dame legt gerade einen zwischenspurt ein😳 (Hoffe die ist Ende der Woche mit dem größten Teil der Strech Phase durch)... Beide bekamen heute nochmal ein Topdress mit 2g/l Greenhouse Feeding BioBloom. Ansonsten ist das bisher ein sehr entspannter Run😌😌 Außer ab und an den Tank kontrollieren ist nix zu tun. Tag 15 Blüte Die Lampe wurde nochmal hochgehängt.. (nun ist Ende, höher geht nicht) Aber es kam endlich die Zusatzbeleuchtung an und wurde direkt eingebaut. 40W Fullspectrum als undercanopy und 48W UV (auch als Pest Control). Das Undercanopy ist mit der Hauptlampe an. Die UV ist erstmal auf 50% gedrosselt und läuft je 15min vor und nach der Lichtphase.

As you can see the buds are super sticky make sure to have enough gloves 🧤 Harvest in 2 times the top buds then 7-10 days later the lower buds✂️ No popcorn 🍿 The smell is divine sweet candy with a touch of cardamom 🍭🍬 See you in 2025 for the smoke review Take care 😎

Hello everyone week 6 of flower has passed for this LSD-25 auto and she’s ready 🎢 For the feeding schedule i stopped feeding Power Roots and Pure Zym and started feeding Green Sensation 0,5/l Mars hydro FC-E6500 75% have a great day and wish you all happy growing 😎👨‍🌾🏻

I've been pulling fan leaves this week . 1. To slow the top down . 2. To encourage side branch growth. 3. So they can remain in very small pots in a small space until I have space to let them grow properly.

I love growing its a big passion of mine , and the fact that GD exists makes everything so much better, one can interact with others and enjoy and learn from each others. Thank you all growers love and keep them green <3 <3 <3
