Week 26 Grow Diary: Durban Poison Quartet Lifecycle Status * Day: 182 (Sprouted March 13) * Stage: Week 4 of flowering Environment & Nutrition * Sunlight: Natural outdoor exposure has decreased to approximately 13 to 13.5 hours daily, driving steady, deep floral progression across the quartet. * Watering & pH: Maintaining a consistent root zone environment with irrigation water balanced precisely to a pH of 6.2. * Feed Routine: Supplementing with CalMg to support heavy metabolic demands, structural integrity, and secondary metabolite production during peak bud set. Canopy Management & Structural Support * Custom Cages: To accommodate the accelerating weight and stretch of the expanding colas, I built and installed custom support cages constructed from heavy-duty bamboo stakes and twine. * Training & Airflow: The tiered twine rings help distribute the load evenly across branches, keeping the canopy open for maximum light penetration and excellent airflow between the developing flowering sites. Observations The quartet is stacking up nicely as week 4 of flower rolls forward. Calyxes are swelling, trichome production is ramping up on the upper sugar leaves, and the plants are drinking consistently. The new bamboo and twine supports are doing their job keeping the heavier limbs upright against any late-season winds on the deck. On the radar: Keep a pH balance of 6.2 and monitor runoff pH. Feed CalMg every 2nd watering. Top dress with kelp meal on the 15th. Continue to monitor bud health and growth. Keep growing my friends! 🤘🙏❤️

A Special Project from Germany and Welcome to Veg Week 4 of GoodTimesGenetix Blue Cream Haze I'm excited to share my grow journey with you from my GoodTimeGenetix Seeds .Im the First Person outside my Friends Company who got hands on this Strain . He Managed over a long time to Cross these Strains: -Blue Dream (Blueberry x Super Silver Haze - Female) -Ice Cream Haze (Gelato x Wedding Cake x Crockets Haze - Male) They Done a lot of Tests for a Nearly Perfect Stabilisation of this Genetic and Feminized them aswell . This one is Professionell Created In Germany , Growed in Germany and presented To the World on Grow Diaries. Here’s what I’m working with: • 🌱 Tent: 120x60x80 • 🧑‍🌾 Breeder Company: GoodTimesGenetix • 💧 Humidity Range: 60 • ⏳ Flowering Time: 8-9 Weeks • Strain Info: 23%THC • 🌡️ Temperature: 26 • 🍵 Pot Size: 0.1 • Nutrient Brand: Hy-Pro • ⚡ Lights : 600W x 2 I would truly appreciate every bit of feedback, help, questions, or discussions – and of course, your likes and interactions mean the world to me as I try to stand out in this exciting competition! Let’s grow together – and don’t forget to stop by again to see the latest updates! Happy growing! Stay lifted and stay curious! Peace & Buds!

No trimming required on this strain everything came out fire no larf all rocks. Cheers and happy holidays to all growmies 👊

111g de buds secs et d'une qualité vraiment supérieure, un goût très fruité et sucré sur fond terreux 😋😍 De petits buds mais en grosse quantité, incontournable, je conseille vraiment cette strain même aux débutants !

Hallo Freunde 👋 Frost Banger von Fast Buds ist 42 Tage Alt! Sie steht schön in Blüte und baut schön ihre Buds! ✌️🍀💚🍀

It still looks like there humming along gonna give one more week of veg after transplanting them so the roots can settle in. I don't want to stress them with to much after repotting them as the roots were air pruning though the 3 gal pots. My freaking camera stopped taking pictures at day 4 of week 4 not sure why, then today the power went out in my neighborhood it happened around the dark cycle so I hope with that and the transplanting it would not stress them to much. Another VEG feeding this week with extra (N) I hope the pale ones benefit from that. I diluted the food per the advice of you all to 500 ppm @ 6.0 ph will see how it goes this week I will post more at the end of the week as always. Thanks Drewbie

Die Lemon Cherry Gelato hat sich trotz ihrer Herausforderungen wunderbar entwickelt und sieht gesund aus. Klar, das Training ist sehr anspruchsvoll und die extrem kurzen Nodienabstände machen das Ganze zu einer echten Puzzle-Aufgabe, aber leicht kann ja jeder. Sie ist jetzt schön kompakt aber wir hoffen das sie durch den Stretch doch noch an Höhe gewinnt. Wir haben uns für eine gewisse Radikalität entschieden und ihr beide Seitentriebe genommen, um die Pflanze auf eine Achse zu stellen. Und, wer hätte es gedacht? Sie nimmt es gelassen und zeigt sich gesund und stark, als hätte sie nie etwas anderes gekannt. Der enge Wuchs gibt ihr eine sehr solide Form, und auch wenn sie noch ein bisschen klein und buschig ist, freuen wir uns auf das, was da noch kommt. Vielleicht bleibt sie klein, aber sie wird auf jeden Fall topfit und ein echtes Highlight in unserem Zelt werden! :-)

8/11 -As the trends been this grow--both plants have responded very well to waterings. Im watering every other day allowing the substrate to dry out a little bit which encourages really good root growth. -I looked back to my previous grow diary to compare this grow to last at week 6 and oh boy am I blowing my old grow out of the water. Learning is a wonderful thing. -Stilts I put Cheese on seem to be working very well. Im starting to see a stretch on Cheese! Going to do some more LST to further even out the canopy. -Cream Cookies is really filling out and its undergrowth is really growing well. It's also starting to develop a strong odor! Awesome! A little bit about the nutrients: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE NUTRIENTS! Not for the pH perfect technology but for how easy it is to feed my babies with these nutrients. I used to use General Hydroponics flour duo (micro and bloom) and that was such a huge pain in the ass to mix solutions. Every week would be a different ratio of both Micro and Bloom. Super confusing and really easy to screw up. This Sensi line from advanced nutrients is insanely easy. You just add an equal amount of both Grow/Bloom A+B in a specific concentration and that's it. All the necessary nutrients that the plant needs will be available for it if it needs it. It also doesn't burn my plants at all. At the beginning of my grow I was thinking of buying an TDS meter to tune the concentration of my nutrient solution. As a chemist, I felt I didn't need this as I can do the math and calculate TDS based on the species present in the concentrated nutrient solution--I never had to do this. Ive found that the best concentration to feed is around 13 mL/gal. Anything more is just too concentrated and my plants did not like it. SUPER HAPPY WITH THIS NUTRIENT LINE. LIFETIME CUSTOMER NOW. 8/14 -Both plants doing extremely well still with no issues. No Ca/Mg deficiency spots observed on any more leaves. -Canopy is getting quite thick once again-going to do defoliation this week. -Both plants are stretching like crazy--probably going to lower Cheese to encourage more of a stretch. -LST worked wonders evening out the canopy. -Cream Cookies is starting to really smell! -Going to sprout 2 more cream cookies plants this week with the hope to keep plants in a flowering rotation. The hope is to always have flowering plants under the lamp! 8/15 -Did some defoliation to create some breaks in both canopies to allow for some light to penetrate to the lower leaves -Original fan leaves started wilting and turning yellow so I trimmed them. -Trimmed lower fan leaves on Cheese: they were so big that they were blocking a huge amount of light to the newer growth. Id rather light hit the new growth than the old growth. -The differences in both plants are starting to show. There is a little satire (~30%) in Cream cookies and you can see it in the fan leaves. They just aren't as fat as cheese. Cheese fan leaves are so short and fat its really cool. Cheese is also growing a little bit shorter than cream cookies. -Makes sense since Cheese is a heavy indica auto flower while cream cookies is a indica dominant hybrid. 8/16 -Boy are both plants stretching. Lamp raised from 15 to 18 inches. -Flowering is in full swing for both plants. -Every other feeding cycle is going very well. Going to increase to 600mL next feeding. Curious to see how they'll respond. 8/17 -My last grow has all sorts of issues so I think its kind of comical that all of my entries this grow are about how nice the grow is going day by day. Really is awesome seeing the things you learn over time come to fruition. -Have three weeks of time lapse video, when you speed it up 8 times you can really see the explosive "stretching." it happens almost so quickly that it looks like the video skipped forward in time. Cant wait to post the final time lapse video at the end of the grow!

These girls are getting ready for harvest.

Despite the deficincies I'm still happy with the result! I used Coco/perlite as medium and found some deficincies in the very beginning and at the. For a next grow I would probably add worm castings and silicium flash for a better start. Place the tabs in a bit later so they last the entire grow. Use orgatrex and bactrex more throughout the grow. Update after drying: End result is 31 grams of small and fluffy buds. Not my best result and most likely caused by the deficincies early on in the grow. Smell and look are all right. Waiting some more for curing before I will taste them.

Almost the end of the week. I thought I'd put up a midweek post. First week of flower almost in the books and the stretch has started. Everything is going well so far. Nutes dialed in, plants happy, the green thumb is working its magic.

Earlier in the week, I saw a discolored bud, and upon closer inspection, I found bud rot. Ugh. I immediately cut off the infected bud and the one closest to it. I looked through the canopy but couldn't see any more affected buds. Right after, I went out of town for a few days to Mary Jane, the big Cannabis Conference in Berlin. It was the first one after legalization, and it was wild. I had an awesome time, and it was great to meet up with friends while in Berlin. What wasn't so great was seeing more signs of budrot when I returned home—those days of +85% humidity at the start of last week made the botrytis go brr. Sigh :( Checking the trichomes showed it was still early to harvest, but I decided to chop anyway to save the unaffected buds. I also decided to hang each branch separately, as it would allow me to inspect each one closely to ensure no affected buds made it into the drying tent. Another reason is to decrease the drying time. Usually, I prefer a long dry, but due to botrytis, I aim to speed up the process. Overall, I found 12-15 affected buds, and of course, they're always the nicest-looking buds. I don't care about the yield loss, as more than enough is still left. I only hope the remaining buds are unaffected, and I'll inspect them daily throughout the dry. Now we wait. And hope.

Another hard defoliation at end of week 2. Mixed new reservoir for the week, with Cropsalt it remains stable for over 7 days if you adjust your PH, stable for 24 hrs, prior to mixing your nutrients. Will add more pics throughout the week, 3 genetics, Apple fritter X thin mint, cereal milk cross to Runtz and Natty’s Kush x thin mint (GSC) All are in 2 Gal, coco coir/perlite w/ Dynomyco 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

This Ladies were harvested at day 82, put in a tent to dry in whole and after drying put in a glass. dry trimmed them because of time issues some weeks later.

Great plant, harvested in 79 days. Frosty and smelly I hope for a good yield but most importantly a great smoke. The second guava came down as well at day 87. Smells amazing and is drying at 26C and 65%RH

Harvest at day 69/107. Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed with the mainlining technique. Final yield is good overall, but the 8 colas got really different from each other, which is not supposed to happen in this method. There was 1 huge cola + 1 very big + 2 slightly smalled + 4 medium/small

Almost done💐💐

- Luego de 10 días desde el cambio de luz se aplico Big one de manera radicular. - Como esta comenzando el Invierno, estoy teniendo un poco de problemas con la temperatura, he llegado a mínimas de 16°C - Estoy tratando de utilizar PK booster de BAC en vez de Top MAX de biobizz - Realice una defoliación casi al terminar la semana cosa que le llegara luz a la mayoría de los ápices de la plantita Van creciendo sanitas, bueno me excedí un poquito de fertilizantes y algunas puntas estuvieron quemándose pero.... espero no sea nada grave

Se sigue tejiendo está planta, mi idea es llenar la malla un 80% para ya mandar a 12/12 11/01/26 Hoy se regó con 3lt de agua con 15ml de FFJ de papaya para arrancar floración hoy se cambió fotoperiodo a 12/12

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 😭
