Week 3 veg

Letting soil dry before harvest, th strain is underestimated by growers, great buds and smells like cherry cola, they loves cold temperatures.

🌿 Grow Diary – Tag 84 | Blütetag 24 „Radikaler Haarschnitt, erste Harzschicht … und die Schädlingspolizei dreht wieder ihre Runden“ Diese Woche war klar: Schere raus – untenrum einmal Kernsanierung. Die Ladies wurden ordentlich gelollipopped und ich hab wirklich nicht gekleckert. Der Eimer war am Ende randvoll mit Schnittresten. Alles, was unten nur Energie klaut oder im Schatten gammelt, ist beinahe konsequent rausgeflogen. Ab jetzt geht die komplette Kraft nur noch in die Tops. Die Kush hat mir dabei kurz den Puls hochgetrieben. Etwas instabil im Aufbau, beim Schneiden halb auseinandergefallen – ich durfte erstmal wieder puzzeln, welche Triebe ich eigentlich behalten wollte. Kurz Zelt-Chaos … aber wieder eingefangen. 😄 📏 Höhe & Stabilität Der Stretch ist jetzt offiziell vorbei. Endhöhe: ca. 1,10 Meter – besser hätte es fast nicht laufen können fürs Setup. Viel höher und wir hätten Licht-Tetris spielen müssen. Zur Stabilisierung hängen jetzt überall Pflanzen-Jojos. Diese kleinen Rollen mit Nylonschnur, die die Äste sanft hochziehen und schwere Buds stützen. Schön gleichmäßiges Blätterdach, nichts kippt weg, alles entspannt. Echt kleine Gamechanger. 🌸 Blütenentwicklung Jetzt startet die eigentliche Show: Buds stapeln sich sichtbar erste Trichome / Harzbildung leichter, süßer Duft im Zelt Man merkt richtig: 👉 Produktionsmodus aktiviert. Jeden Tag ein bisschen frostiger. Ernährung & Feintuning Allerdings zeigen sie langsam klar: 👉 Phosphor- & Kaliumhunger Die BioTabs-Tabletten waren top für den Start, aber in der intensiven Blütephase einfach etwas zu träge. Plan: Mikroben pushen → Bodenleben aktivieren moderat PK nachdüngen → Blütenaufbau unterstützen Ein kleiner Schub, damit die Buds richtig Masse machen. 🐛 Reality Check: Nervensägen-Alarm Und ja … natürlich gibt’s auch die weniger glamouröse Seite des Grows. Tripse und Trauermücken zum Beispiel. Doppelt hält leider nicht besser. 😅 Tripse → silbrige Fraßspuren auf den Blättern Trauermücken → kleine schwarze Nervflieger über der Erde Nichts Dramatisches, aber einfach maximal lästig. So dieses typische: „Könnt ihr bitte einfach verschwinden?“ Werden natürlich beobachtet und in Schach gehalten – aber eingeladen war hier definitiv keiner. ✅ Wochenfazit Lollipopping erledigt ✔️ Stretch durch ✔️ Höhe perfekt bei 1,10 m ✔️ Jojos stabilisieren alles ✔️ Harz & Buds starten durch ✔️ Tripse nerven ✔️ Trauermücken nerven leider genauso ✔️ Unterm Strich trotzdem: richtig guter Fortschritt. Jetzt heißt’s wieder: füttern, beobachten, feinjustieren – und zuschauen, wie aus den Ladies langsam kleine, klebrige Harzmonster werden. Grüne Grüße & happy growing allerseits Rocko 🌿✂️ 🌿 Grow Diary – Day 84 | Flowering Day 24 “Heavy haircut week, first frost… and pests being annoying as hell” This week had one clear mission: Scissors out – clean up everything below the canopy. The ladies got a proper lollipopping session, and I definitely didn’t go easy on them. By the end, the bucket was completely full of cuttings. Everything down low that only steals energy or sits in the shade had to go. From now on, all power goes straight into the tops. The Kush caused a bit of drama though. She’s slightly unstable structurally and basically fell apart while pruning, so I had to puzzle together which shoots I originally wanted to keep. Short chaos in the tent… but fixed. 😄 📏 Height & Support Stretch is now officially over – finally. Final height: around 1.10 meters, which is pretty much perfect for the tent. Any taller and we’d be fighting the lights. To keep everything stable, I installed plant yo-yos everywhere – those retractable supports with nylon strings. They gently pull branches upward, support heavy buds, and keep the canopy nice and even. Small tools, big impact. 🌸 Flower Progress Now the fun part really starts. You can see it every day: buds stacking up first visible trichomes/resin light sweet smell filling the tent That moment when you open the zipper and think: 👉 “Alright… production mode activated.” Each day gets a little frostier. Nutrition & Adjustments What’s becoming obvious now: 👉 early phosphorus and potassium deficiencies The BioTabs tablets worked great so far, but during heavy flowering they’re simply a bit too slow. So the plan: add microbes → boost soil life moderate PK supplementation → support bud building Just a small extra push so the flowers can really bulk up. 🐛 Reality Check: Pest Squad And of course… it wouldn’t be a real grow without some annoying visitors. Thrips AND fungus gnats. Double trouble. 😅 Thrips → those classic silver streaks on the leaves Fungus gnats → tiny black flies hovering around the soil Nothing catastrophic, but seriously annoying. That constant “can you guys just leave already?” feeling. They’re under control and being monitored closely — but yeah… nobody invited them. ✅ Weekly Summary Lollipopping done ✔️ Stretch finished ✔️ Height dialed in at 1.10 m ✔️ Yo-yos supporting branches ✔️ Buds & resin starting strong ✔️ Thrips annoying ✔️ Fungus gnats annoying too ✔️ Overall, still very happy with the progress. Now it’s feed, observe, fine-tune… and watch the ladies slowly turn into sticky little resin monsters. Green greetings & happy growing, Rocko 🌿✂️

Growing really nice at the min seems like bee growth every day. Will start using nutrients next week. But so far so good.. ..update.. bit of nutrient burn on one of the plants at back but nothing that can't be fixed easily. Considering the heat where I am at the min there doing really well and looking very healthy. There new growth sprouting out everywhere daily. You can't really see from the pictures but when up close u notice it day to day. Can't wait till they start flowering..

Looking nice and compact with strong growth 🙂 Still only fed her water so far.

Harvest on day 91 of cycle , day 54 of flowering.. I could leave it few days more for sure however my ladt harvest is nearly finishing so I need to dry this plant as soon as possible hehehe.. Purple punch has really frosty buds, it didn’t grow as much as I wish(I had to move the plant to the toilet with my burple light as there was no space for 3 plants in my 2x4 tent) but they are looking insanely good, with a strong flavor of grape, I am impressed with this smell/flavour, all covered in trichomes, I can’t wait to smoke it.. So my way to harvest it is I cut it down on the main branch and hang to dry out.. all the plant .. I prefer dry trim because it’s way easier to trim.. so now I am gonna hang it for 2/3 weeks and then start trimming.. I will update yield and tasty as soon as I finish trimming.. Overall I am happy with the results 🙌🏼.

Chuggin along!

Esta tercera semana hemos realizado un pocola técnica LST. Seguimos aprendiendo. Llevan 27 días desde que germinaron, algunas ya empiezan la pre floración. Muy contento con mi primer cultivo. Muchos avances y mucho aprendido

I am absolutely shocked at the bounce back these plants are making, luckily i went with some good genetics! Thank you humboldt! The ladies are fighting hard threw some tomatoes in there!

This week I Supercrop all the plants and spred them out over both lights. One more week of Veg and they are ready to explode Check me out on Instagram @growmorestressless

Time for drying. Btw drying them like this was a bad idea buds are pressed from one side may be conceded to move them, well I still prefer hanging drying 🤪

Harvesting Week!

04/04/2026 Water change day! We're adding Overdrive and taking out big bud. I. Pretty sure she has 2 to 3 weeks left. I haven't checked trichomes yet. No point when I can tell they aren't ready yet. Just by the amount of white pistils. And somehow I can tell she's not ready. Colors, swelling and water intake. Readings: pH: 6.58 EC: 1214 cm TDS: 858 ppm Temp: 67.8° The environment is a bit wonky today. 73° and 50% humidity. I have a feeling the heat is being blocked by the canopy. That's why the environment is off today. No heat increased humidity and decreased temp. Honestly not sure what to do here. I'll just have to let it do its thing. I'm pretty sure it was from me opening the tent up. Oh well. She does look happy. Good nice green. Excluding the dark color of course. There's a bit of an issue with the rear fan. The way she's moving around the tops has left one of them to fall right onto the oscillating fan. Not to mention the area around the fan is super stressed. Not exactly sure what to do about that. Anyway, lots of work to do. 04/05/2026 Readings: pH: 6.55 EC: 1180 cm TDS: 820 ppm Temp: 70.2° Readings after pH: pH: 6.08 EC: 1190 cm TDS: 850 ppm Temp: 65.5° So we can see that there is a fluctuation in all readings. The EC went up by 10 cm. TDS went up 30 ppm. Temp dropped 4.5°. Finally there's the pH. I dropped it to a reasonable level. Around 5 points. Something I'd like to note. The buckets don't drain completely. There's roots in the way. So there's always a gallon or so left in the bottom of the bucket. After pHing, everything changed. I believe that is just a common pH swing. A little high, but I brought it right down. I'm going to check later this afternoon and see if it leveled out. Hopefully it'll be around 6.1. That's when you know the pH perfect is working. The EC and TDS are higher than yesterday. But I'm assuming the pH was high as well as the water temp. It should be down to about 65° and that would fix the portability of the nutrients. The environment is doing pretty good. Temps right there at 73° the Humidity is a bit high today. 47%. I'd really like it down to 40% but that's probably not happening until this wet weather goes away. Then everything should level out. 04/06/2026 Readings: pH: 5.95 EC: 1158 cm TDS: 823 ppm Temp: 67.3° 04/07/2026 Readings: pH: 5.68 EC: 1187 cm TDS: 836 ppm Temp: 68.4° After pHing: pH: 6.04 EC:1192 cm TDS: 878 ppm Temp: 67.1° After Topping off the bucket: pH: 5.8 EC: 1240 cm TDS: 880 ppm Temp: 65.3° 04/08/2026 Readings: pH: 5.54 EC: 1250 cm TDS: 889 ppm Temp: 63.1° After pHing the jug: pH: 6.17 EC: 1465 cm TDS: 965 ppm Temp: 69.1° Bucket Readings: pH: 6.15 EC: 1302 cm TDS: 927 ppm Temp: 66.7° 04/09/2026 Readings: pH: 5.91 EC: 1288 cm TDS: 917 ppm Temp: 69.4° It seems as though this lady may be a bit hungry. TDS and EC are both dropping. Not much, but I can see a pattern. She wants more. But she's stressed out. The tacoing is real! But I'm not sure it's from the light. What else is there? There's more spots on the top leaves. Definitely seems like a deficiency to me. Along with the tacoing. Which I might add also has tons of trichomes to help protect the leaves and buds. The environment is looking good today. However, the heat must have been on this morning when the light turned on. Oh well. An ice bottle from last night would have done nothing. 04/10/2026 Readings: pH: 5.5 EC: 1298 cm TDS: 528 ppm Temp: 67.8° Reading top off water: pH: 5.8 EC: 1244 cm TDS: 949 ppm Temp:67.3°

Light hitting with around 1000 PPFD She is looking beautiful! Smell is getting realy intense. Plant training did its job - many same size Buds with same quality. One of my favourite grows so far!

Hello friends of growdiaries. As you can see, the difference between the two plants is enormous. It must be a question of seed genetics. flowering advances. See you soon

I was going to write something inspirational here, but cant remember. Must be good weed😉

Flipped to 12/12 added 4 x 50w cobs as additional lighting on each corner shes starting to stretch a bit now, tucking branches every 2 days lowered the lights 3 inch and added a fan blowing on to the canopy feed is the same for now.
