The Hobbit Hole Outdoor Grow 2026 Woche 4 – Der Sommer ist angekommen… und die Natur zeigt ihre Zähne. Diese Woche fühlte sich an wie der eigentliche Beginn des Hobbit Hole. Nach den regnerischen und kühlen Tagen der vergangenen Wochen zeigte sich endlich der Sommer. Drei Tage Sonne am Stück reichten aus, um den kleinen Autos einen sichtbaren Wachstumsschub zu verpassen. Fast so, als hätten sie nur darauf gewartet, endlich loslegen zu dürfen. Besonders auffällig war die Entwicklung der Blätter. Alle vier Pflanzen bildeten inzwischen ihre ersten fünffingrigen Blätter – für mich immer einer der schönsten Momente im frühen Wachstum. Ab diesem Punkt wirken sie nicht mehr wie kleine Sämlinge, sondern wie richtige Cannabispflanzen. Natürlich blieb das Hobbit Hole auch diese Woche nicht völlig verschont. Wie gewohnt bekamen alle Pflanzen vorsorglich eine Behandlung mit Neem, um Schädlingen möglichst früh den Appetit zu verderben. Die Kupferringe verrichteten weiterhin zuverlässig ihren Dienst – zumindest dachte ich das. Dann kam der Rückschlag. Die Guava Runtz, die bis dahin sogar zu den stärksten Pflanzen gehörte, wurde komplett von einer Schnecke erwischt. Vermutlich nutzte sie genau die Stelle aus, an der ein Wühltier zuvor den Kupferschutz beschädigt hatte. Der Stängel wurde einfach durchgeknabbert und der Rest lag dann daneben😓 Genau solche Momente gehören leider zu einem echten Outdoor-Grow dazu. Ärgerlich? Absolut. Aber genau deshalb dokumentiere ich auch solche Rückschläge. Nicht jeder Grow verläuft perfekt, und die Natur schreibt ihre eigenen Regeln. Als direkte Konsequenz bekam die Cinderella sofort einen zweiten Kupferring als zusätzliche Absicherung. Lieber einmal zu vorsichtig als eine weitere Pflanze zu verlieren. Der kleine Zwischenfall hat gleichzeitig das Feld neu sortiert. Die Gelato übernimmt inzwischen die Führung und entwickelt sich aktuell am kräftigsten. Direkt dahinter folgt die Cinderella, die weiterhin ihren Ruf als schnelle und vitale Sorte bestätigt. Auch die Purple Punch hat sich nach ihrem missglückten Start erstaunlich gut erholt und holt langsam auf. Mit jeder Woche wird deutlicher, dass die eigentliche Arbeit unter der Erde längst erledigt wurde. Die Wurzeln scheinen sich inzwischen fest im Boden etabliert zu haben und das oberirdische Wachstum zieht nun sichtbar nach. Outdoor bedeutet eben nicht, jede Situation kontrollieren zu können. Man arbeitet mit dem Wetter, mit Insekten, mit Schnecken, mit Tieren und manchmal auch gegen sie. Genau das macht dieses Projekt für mich so spannend. Drei Hobbits stehen noch im Hobbit Hole. Und jetzt beginnt der eigentliche Kampf.

Started defoliating and removing little satellite larf buds, and she’s looking picture perfect! Stoked that I have another seed, hopeful that it’s the same pheno. Feeding full strength and riding it out from here on!

As promised — I fixed everything, dialed it in 🙂 Plants are doing great now, growing fast and looking healthy. You often see people asking: “My runoff pH keeps dropping, what should I do?” I used to recommend increasing potassium, even though at that point it was just a theoretical assumption — I hadn’t actually tested it yet. Well… now I have. And it works. Situation: Input pH is stable around ~5.8, but runoff pH keeps dropping over time (in my case down to 5.2, even 4.7 on one plant). At the same time, EC is either dropping or at least not increasing. I tried light flushing — yes, it helps temporarily, but: Only short-term — next day pH drops again Adds unnecessary stress to the plant (basically suffocating the roots) Solution: Increase potassium. First, I boosted it by about +50%, then added another +30% on top of that. Example: I had ~2 ml per 10L → increased to 4 ml → after 2 days up to 5.5 ml of Canna Mono K. It took about 3 days to stabilize — runoff pH went back up to ~5.7–6.0. If you’re using base nutrients: Just get some Canna Mono K — it’s made exactly for situations like this. Yeah, I know I’m basically mixing my whole solution around it, even though Canna says you can’t build a complete feed with it alone — but in practice, it works for me. Also, side note — now 10L lasts me about 2 days. And that’s it for veg — switched to 12/12 on day 36.

Week 16 Flower: Embracing the Flush & Celebrating the Shine 🌟 It’s week 16 of flower, and a pivotal moment in the grow journey! This week, we’re diving deep into the flush phase, a critical step in achieving those clean, flavorful harvests. 🌿 Switching over to just water with 0.5 ml/L of System Clean marks the start of what I like to call the “So Cal Flush.” We’ll break down the whys behind this practice, the benefits of flushing, and how it sets the stage for smooth, aromatic results. Let’s demystify this important phase together and make sure everyone feels confident implementing it in their own grows. The Room is Glowing ✨ Every plant in the garden is unique, shining bright under the ThinkGrow LEDs! 🌈 Here’s the lineup of what’s happening: • Green Papaya: The frost queen herself, dripping with trichomes, setting the frostiest example. • Punch Pie: Claiming the crown for the fattest buds in the room—absolute monsters in size and density! • Gorilla Melon: A beauty with mesmerizing red reflections dancing across her leaves. • Papaya Zoap: Still stealing the show with snowy whites and pristine structure. This week was a photographer’s dream—I pulled out my Sony and Nikon cameras to capture some jaw-dropping close-ups and unique angles. I’m sharing these shots to highlight the sheer diversity and beauty of these genetics. Tech in Action: TM+ Pro App 📱 Let’s talk tech for a moment. The TrolMaster ecosystem paired with the TM+ Pro App has been an absolute game-changer. Capturing and sharing real-time data and alerts, it provides peace of mind and full control from anywhere. Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just starting out, this tool simplifies and elevates the entire experience. I’ll share some videos from the app this week to show exactly how it’s helping me stay on top of the grow like never before.

Nothing to really say everything is dialed in perfect, this week it was very hot out so my room got a little hotter... but no big deal the girls really didn't mind... Until next week.... smoke a fatty, help out your fellow grower...

The Oasis Project Durban Poison Quartet: Week 13 Grow Diary Report The Durban Poison quartet is showing great vitality this week, basking in full outdoor sunlight on the deck. All four plants are fully in their vegetative stage, pushing out healthy fan leaves and developing unique physical profiles across their individual fabric pots. Individual Plant Breakdown DP1: This plant features a very distinct, open growth structure compared to its siblings. The branches are long, reaching outward and upward with plenty of space between the nodes. It is highly scannable, making it easy to see through to the inner stems. It looks vigorous and is taking full advantage of the ambient light. DP5: Showing off a much bushier, dense canopy than Plant #1. The leaves are clustered tightly together, creating a thick dome of foliage. The rich green coloring looks strong, though there are a few minor leaf imperfections typical of outdoor grows, likely from wind or light exposure. DP6: This is the absolute powerhouse of the group. Plant #6 has exploded into a massive, lush bush with dark green fan leaves. It has overtaken its pot size with heavy branching and dense growth, indicating a highly active root system and excellent nutrient uptake. DP4: Exhibiting a medium-bushy profile, sitting right between the open structure of #1 and the density of #5 and #6. Plant #4 shows some noticeable light-colored spotting and mild chlorosis (yellowing) on a few of its mid-to-lower fan leaves. Garden Notes & Observations Observation: Current Status Growth Stage: Late Vegetative Environment: Outdoor, full sun exposure Containers: Large black smart/fabric pots (including a 25-gallon container for Plant #4) Support Systems: Wooden bamboo stakes utilized across the pots to stabilize early branching Next Steps: Nutrient Check: Keep a close eye on Plant #4. The mild leaf spotting and fading could point to the beginning of a minor nutrient deficiency (possibly nitrogen or magnesium) or slight watering stress. A gentle, balanced feeding might be needed to green it back up. Canopy Management: With Plant #6 getting so incredibly dense, it might benefit from some light defoliation of the inner/lower leaves in the coming weeks to improve airflow and prevent moisture traps. Overall, the quartet is looking fantastic, strong, and well-positioned as they continue their outdoor vegetative cycle. Say hello to the new member of the Oasis Project, Pablo the Prickly Pear. Native to the high plains of Colorado. Look quick, she about to bloom and it only lasts for a day!

wow wow !!!! 404 gr ! from the suitcase!!!!!!!258 gr of wet dried buds!!!!!!! I am impressed with the result, and I don't really believe that I will ever be able to improve it :) It was a truly amazing journey with FastBuds Gorilla cookies auto, my house is filled with a wonderful sweet smell, the buds look really full and very very shiny :) I also collected a lot of sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash:) the girl coped with high temperatures and high humidity throughout her growth, which is why I was afraid of rot, but everything went well!!!! She is amazing. smoke review and dry weight will be up very soon, good luck to everyone :)!!!

01/01/2022 Potting up and amending with 5-2-4 to give a little kick before mid flower #6 is first girl to show herself, also got two different males and only difference is that one is lighter green and other darker green (also dark green one seems to drink more than lighter green) 💚. Other than that structure is very similar I wonder which is a better breeding male? I guess I might pollinate and LABEL TWO BRANCHES ON each female one for each male. and find out.🙏🏻 01/06/2022 #3 showed today, reppoted and into flowering closet, along with#6,who showed earlier this week lights at 14-10 see how they respond to that schedule, which should help use up the 5-2-4 going into week 3 should help with her stretch. Which isn't really that much I believe maybe double her current height, which I will check at lights on.Week ,#3 if I think of it I'll give a good fungal dominant tea.

Always been a favorite of mine this strain. It grows like a dream and smokes like a breath of fresh air. The terps are just mouthwatering and the smell intoxicating. I decided to harvest them this past week and hang them up to start the drying process. First time growing the RF3 version but definitely won't be the last. One I'd highly recommend for it's easy growing and beautiful flowers.

It was a very nice week. She is growing fast and loves low stress training. There are still little flies but they are not a danger for the plant. No problems, no deficiency, only pleasure. Coco is ready for flowering stage 💪💪💪

Jan 15th - soil tests tonight / photos tonight 17th - soil ph is a tad over; 7.2 -7.3 - dinner served at a pH of 6.2 - dinner tonight; 1.5L pH’d water ran through plant first, then fed 3L nutes/water posted above. This flow caused some Run-off, but not enough to properly measure EC value -near max on the tds, but it was the thickest dinner yet. (including molasses) follow-up tonight. 20th - Allowing the soil to dry an xtra day - brewing a compost tea for tomorrow’s dinner. (black willie as well) Then back on schedule - Running 2 Aerated-Teas, staggered between heavy nutrient meals, I hope it nourishes the soil enough that we see a flourish of activity next week… - first tea with bat guano… Resting the banana lol Jan 21, - last day of the week… finally the tent to themselves. Congo & Mystic are gone - tea tonight

In the middle of the 5 week most of them show their sativa characters with long branches, now in the 6 week they are completely start flowering, more photos soon Today 14/05/2021 I will change the lamp bulb to a specific one for flowering (always 400w) and will experience the CalMag for the first time in 4 years, all I have learned was self taught and I have never used this product...in my opinion it was a big mistake, hope to have a positive result 🌋🏔️🌋🏔️💚💚💚💚
