It has been a good week. The NTs are fattening and getting covered in ice! They are also loosing most of the lower leaves, I'm a bit afraid that they lose too many, I hope not! Now after two weeks of stretch it seems like they stopped ascending. I can't wait to see how this coming week will go!

8/23 shes smelling so much like blueberries💚 im super concerned with the amount of leaves my plants are cannibalizing/ losing. They've been turning yellow and then eventually golden brownish crisp and fall off. The leaves that are falling off, only seem to be fan leaves and all the leaves around the pistils/main parts of branches/plant, all seem to be intact and very healthy still. I hope she's able to stay healthy till the finish of the grow. First outdoor grow. Learning experience 💚🤘I should have added some fish meal in the middle of July so she had some nitrogen for the beginning of flowering. I'm concerned the leaves lost is due to nitrogen deficiency. But I'm 3 weeks into flower and dont want to confuse her with more nitrogen than I have been giving 8/24 fed some more open sesame. 8/28 thinking my plants have been having a ph lock out causing magnesium deficiency

Once again had no issues had very good growth on all my plants, mother plant seems to use about 12/15l of water every 4 days just have to keep on top of that. Topping I did couple of weeks ago went a bit side ways as some plants seem to have 3 nodes at the top some how, Think is will be the last week in veg going to change light times next week to start flower, What would people’s views be on defoliation on the before flower should I do it now while there in veg or when I change the light cycle

Entrando en la Semana 6 de floración La cantidad de resina a aumentado considerablemente, el olor es muy fuerte pero agradable, los colores se están destacando en todas las plantas . El engorde se está viendo reflejado semana a semana

Day 28 week 4 of flower plants looking good I dropped a 3L water bottle on a string which snapped a whole branch from the bottom 😳 on right plant 😭

Plantas sanas creciendo a full. Satisfecho hasta el momento con el resultado.

Update; still growing steadily! She’s definitely a low maintenance strain but also heavy feeder so I’ll push the 1.77 EC to 2.2 at minimum next fertigation, as always I also make sure to target runoff every time I water (18-20%). It’s getting tight inside the tent so playing a little Tetris is key. Will also start logging my feeds for this girl as well; D67 8L pH6.2 | Si6 V18 F10 Ca8.8 Mg2.9 IN 2.41EC | OUT 2L 3.02EC pH6.2 • salt creep due to dry back but nothing serious, not for this one at least :)

At day 20 I switched to flowering and sent my light schedule to 12/12 hours of light/darkness, therefore this is the first week of flowering now. I know that these plants from seeds are still to immature to switch to flowering directly, but they will grow slower with 12/12 until they are old enough to flower. This should happen when they are appr. 4 weeks old from germination, then they will be mature enough to be able to flower. I do this, because the Growfor.Life-Closet is limited in its heigth and I want compact and short plants at the end, so i can keep a minimum distance to the LED-lights from SANlight, which are built into the closet. The minimum distance should be appr. 25 cm from the canopy. At Day 25 the biggest three plants (=Double Dutch from Serious Seeds and OG-Kush from Humboldt-Seeds) have grown so many leaves that they start to touch each other and condensed water is building up between them, the plants seem to sweat. This means I have to defoliate the plants again in order to get a better airflow and also to let the light penetrate deeper into the canopy. You can see a video-tutorial for defoliation I made on Day 25. The scissors I use in the video came WITH the closet, they have a special anti-sticky coating and work like a TREAT! During the defoliation I recognize that one sidebranch of a Double Dutch plant is TRIFOLIATE (see in pics!), this means each node grows three instead of two leaves and sidebranches out of it. That is a rare occurrence in cannabis and can be seen like finding a 4-leafed clover. Although this should mean good luck, I also realize more and more fungus gnats flying around and put some sticky yellow strips (=sticky traps for insects) inside the closet. The plants also seem to get a little bit lighter in their green color in general, therefore I decide to start adding nutrients (=PLAGRON-TERRA-BLOOM) to my waterings now. All in all the plants grow like hell (the biggest one is appr. 30 cm tall at the end of week4) and develop excellently...I LOVE THE EXPERIENCE WITH MY GROWFOR.LIFE-CLOSET until now!

papaya cookies has now completed her stretch. typical for papaya, she develops purple/pink pistils. such a beauty. hopefully the weather will stay good enough for her bulk.

Recovered from overwatering and now its PH imbalance

Day 30 - We are officially in flower now! So I'm upping the Bio-Bloom and Top-Max while making sure not to burn her. Day 32 - Stretching out nicely now. Buds site are starting to form and you can see a little bit of the purple color coming through, very exciting stuff. Leaves are perfect, she is happy and loving life.

Hello to You all my familly and usual visitors 👋Thank you for stopping by and all the likes and comments....you are the best! Everything runs smooth, the girl seems in good condition and fattening nicely. The bright2.32 Mars Hydro TS 1000 is kept at 33 cm from the top of my plants is is running on full power. TS 1000 gives a full spectrum of light to the plants and you can see that...the leaves are lush green and develop without any hindrance, Mars Hydro did a very good job producing this lamp. Thanks to Mars Hydro for supplying the necessary equipment for this grow. That's it for this week folks, have a wonderful week and please come beck visit in three days time.

This is just very very impressive. Just a month after germination and this thing is growing like there is no tomorrow. I am doing nothing to the plant. No training, no pest control. Just ph water and occasionally some selfmade wormtea. So excited where this one will go. Will keep you updated

🌿 Woche 17 – Mentha de Croco 🇩🇪 Ein weiterer Meilenstein ist erreicht! 🚀 Die linke Mentha de Croco ist nun etwa 190 cm groß, die rechte hat mit ca. 202 cm bereits die 2-Meter-Marke geknackt! 📏🎉 Besonders spannend ist die Veränderung der Wuchsform. Während beide Pflanzen anfangs wie schlanke Wolkenkratzer in die Höhe wuchsen, entwickeln sie nun immer mehr die typische Tannenbaum-Struktur 🌲. Vor allem die linke Pflanze hat eine wunderschöne, gleichmäßige Verzweigung ausgebildet und sieht einfach fantastisch aus. 💚 Aktuell bekommen beide Pflanzen täglich etwa 5 Liter Wasser 💧. Das 30-Liter-Topfvolumen macht sich inzwischen deutlich bemerkbar und scheint das weitere Höhenwachstum zunehmend zu begrenzen. Trotzdem entwickeln sich die Pflanzen weiterhin hervorragend. Heute gibt es wieder eine Gabe meines selbst hergestellten Ackerschachtelhalm-Brennnessel-Ferments mit 10 ml pro Liter Wasser 🌿. Ansonsten läuft alles absolut problemlos – keine Mängel, keine Schädlinge und keine Krankheiten. Genau so wünscht man sich einen Outdoor-Grow! 💪☀️ Ich bin wirklich beeindruckt von der Robustheit und Schönheit dieser Genetik. Bisher machen die beiden einfach alles mit und belohnen mich Woche für Woche mit einer beeindruckenden Entwicklung. ❤️🌱 🌿 Week 17 – Mentha de Croco 🇬🇧 Another milestone has been reached! 🚀 The left Mentha de Croco is now around 190 cm tall, while the right one has officially broken the 2-meter mark, reaching approximately 202 cm! 📏🎉 What’s especially interesting is how their growth pattern has changed. Instead of the tall, column-like “skyscraper” appearance they had earlier, both plants are now developing a beautiful Christmas tree structure 🌲. The left plant in particular has formed an incredibly symmetrical branching pattern and looks absolutely stunning. 💚 At the moment, each plant receives around 5 liters of water every day 💧. The relatively small 30-liter pots are now clearly becoming the limiting factor for further vertical growth, but despite that, both plants continue to thrive. Today they’ll receive another feeding with my homemade nettle and horsetail ferment at a concentration of 10 ml per liter of water 🌿. Apart from that, everything is going perfectly—no nutrient deficiencies, no pests, and no diseases. Exactly what you hope for in an outdoor grow! 💪☀️ I’m truly impressed by the resilience and beauty of this genetics. These plants have handled every challenge so far and continue to reward me with outstanding growth week after week. ❤️🌱

Boy oh boy look at these babies grow I'm studying them more and more to ensure they are happy. I've notice that gelato 41 is producing bud spots like thats what it was ment for. Tropi cherry is coming along but not as fast as G41, and runtz muffin im a little disappointed in but i believe that is my fault for im still new and have only grown 1 plant prior to these 3. It also doesnt help i had to cut the vegitation cycle by 2 weeks as well. and further more I was at least able to give 2 clones away, the rest were still good but couldn't find them homes so i had to throw them away. Next time I'll have all the room they need and can't wait to make mother plants of my favorites.
