Laughing Buddha – Woche 20 | Blütewoche 5 Blütewoche 5 war deutlich angenehmer als die Wochen davor. Die Probleme an den Blättern sind zwar weiterhin sichtbar, aber zumindest scheint die Situation momentan nicht weiter zu eskalieren. Die bereits aufgehellten Blätter bleiben natürlich hell und auch die vorhandenen rostbraunen Punkte verschwinden nicht wieder. Was mir diese Woche aber deutlich wichtiger ist: Neue Flecken sind praktisch nicht dazugekommen. Ob die Chlorose komplett gestoppt ist, möchte ich noch nicht behaupten. Dafür beobachte ich sie lieber noch ein paar Tage. Aber zumindest wirkt die Entwicklung momentan wesentlich ruhiger. Ein großer Unterschied zu den vergangenen Wochen ist das Wetter. Draußen hat es deutlich abgekühlt und das merkt man sofort auf dem Dachboden. Unter Licht lag das Klima zuletzt beispielsweise bei ungefähr: 24 °C / 54 % rF / VPD 1,37 kPa / ca. 890 PPFD Das ist momentan ziemlich genau die Richtung, die ich haben möchte. Ob die Kombination aus hohen Temperaturen, niedriger Luftfeuchtigkeit und hoher Lichtbelastung tatsächlich die Ursache für die Blattprobleme war, wird sich jetzt langsam zeigen. Im Moment spricht zumindest einiges dafür. Der Bodensensor hat mich verarscht Beim Gießen gab es diese Woche noch eine kleine Überraschung. Nachdem ich einmal einen Tag nicht zum Gießen gekommen war, gab es am nächsten Vormittag zunächst 5 Liter. Die Bodenfeuchte fiel danach überraschend schnell wieder ab und zeitweise sah es so aus, als würde die Buddha absurd viel Wasser verbrauchen. Später stellte sich allerdings heraus, dass einer der beiden Bodensensoren vermutlich beim Arbeiten an der Pflanze etwas verrutscht war. Nachdem ich ihn neu gesteckt hatte, sprang der Wert direkt von ungefähr 25 % auf rund 40 %. Damit ergab das Ganze plötzlich wesentlich mehr Sinn. 😅 Am folgenden Tag bekam sie insgesamt 9 Liter, aufgeteilt auf 4,5 Liter morgens und nochmal 4,5 Liter abends. Seitdem beobachte ich die beiden Sensoren wieder etwas genauer, bevor ich mich nur auf einen einzelnen Wert verlasse. Jetzt passiert endlich das Interessante Während ich weiterhin die Blätter beobachte, macht die Buddha einfach das, was sie in Blütewoche 5 machen soll: Sie baut Buds. Und der Unterschied innerhalb dieser Woche ist inzwischen ziemlich deutlich. Die einzelnen Blütenstände werden sichtbar dicker und beginnen zunehmend miteinander zu verschmelzen. Gerade an den größeren Tops entsteht langsam eine richtige zusammenhängende Cola. Als Größenvergleich musste diese Woche sogar ein Feuerzeug herhalten. Besonders schön ist, dass nicht nur ein paar einzelne Spitzen gut aussehen. Über die komplette Fläche verteilt stehen inzwischen sehr viele brauchbare Buds. Auch entlang der längeren Triebe sitzen unterhalb der Tops weitere Blütenstände, die zunehmend an Volumen gewinnen. Harz gibt es jedenfalls genug Die Harzproduktion gefällt mir inzwischen richtig gut. Die Sugar Leaves sind teilweise stark mit Trichomen überzogen und auf den Nahaufnahmen sieht man schon sehr schön, wie dicht die Oberfläche inzwischen besetzt ist. Gleichzeitig sind weiterhin sehr viele frische weiße Stigmen vorhanden. Das heißt für mich vor allem: Da kommt noch einiges. Einige Buds wirken bereits ziemlich kompakt, während andere momentan noch deutlich mehr in die Höhe bzw. nach außen bauen. Gerade deshalb dürfte der Zeitraffer dieser Woche interessant werden. Beim täglichen Reinschauen nimmt man die Veränderungen kaum wahr, aber im direkten Vergleich sollte man den Zuwachs an Blütenmasse ziemlich deutlich sehen. Fazit Blütewoche 5 war für mich vor allem eine Woche der Stabilisierung. Die Blattprobleme sind noch sichtbar, aber zumindest die rostigen Flecken scheinen momentan nicht weiter zuzunehmen. Gleichzeitig sind die Temperaturen deutlich angenehmer geworden und das gesamte Klima läuft dadurch wesentlich entspannter. Und während ich noch versuche herauszufinden, ob die Stress-Theorie wirklich stimmt, liefert die Buddha bereits die deutlichste positive Nachricht selbst: Die Buds werden sichtbar fetter. 😋 Genau darauf soll der Fokus jetzt liegen. Wenn sie in BW6 genauso weiterbaut wie in dieser Woche, dürfte der Zeitraffer langsam richtig Spaß machen.

End of week 9 One word - Voluptuous! The neighbours are definitely smelling it now, luckily the terpene profile on all of these plants make it smell more like a citrus farm. Another smooth sailing week and I have noticed some of the ladies are drinking less and the leaves are fading more and more every day. I am preparing for harvest as the girls are almost screaming to be cut down but I’ll be patient. I’ll be using my grow tent as the drying room because I can keep the environment in check. Making sure all my effort is not ruined by a rookie mistake such as not drying properly. Removed some dead leaves and thats about it. I’ve basically just been checking my PH and watering through this entire grow. It’s cool being easy and easy being cool!

Everything North and South is booming in Veg except for the OGK. It neither likes its soil or the humidity and temperature so I chopped it back and hope for the best.

Semana de transición entre el abono para el periodo vegetativo (Bio Vega) y el abono que utilizaremos durante el periodo de floración (Bio Flores). El primero más rico en nitrógeno y el segundo, en fósforo, magnesio y potasio. Mezclo Bio Rhizotonic + Bio Vega + Bio Flores y riego con 50 litros de agua, todo el cultivo... Alterno riegos cada tres días, unos con abono y otros con agua. La próxima semana, elimináremos Bio Vega.

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Ok, so bigger news this week, I got rid of one of the plants in the tent as it was an auto vs fast flower :/ and I performed a bunch of LST and some Defoliation to all the plants. This plant was quite bushy and I had to get rid of a lot of lower growth, leaves and mini shoots, gave it a pretty aggressive stripping and half ass lollipoping. This will be the last week they are in Veg and switching to flower cycle next week with a 12/12 photoperiod. I was going to try a 13/11 but I wanted to test out the automatic light functions on the Medic Grows Minisun-2, So this will be relieved next week. Been having issues with PH in the medium again and some nutrient uptake. I am thinking I will switch to another brand I have to use up, trip tonic from my last grow on the balcony. Its a bit more complex and not as easy as mix into water and feed but I think its going to help me solve a lot of the issues I am getting. Given this update is a few days late some of these pics are not from today. the clones in the photos above are from the beginning of the week when I potted them up. They have not done well at all and may not make it. can only hope for the next few weeks they pull through. Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ + https://seedstockers.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled + https://www.facebook.com/SeedstockersBarcelona/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow + https://twitter.com/seedstockersb Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ + https://www.instagram.com/seedstockers_seeds YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ + https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GiFYrIWeNtwtXjcivCmfw Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow + https://growdiaries.com/grower/seedstockersofficial https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/seedstockers

Day 27 flower: I love the Gz strain with a passion. The colours that are beginning to shown on all of their buds are beautiful already and they are not even half way through yet !!. #1 is by far the biggest girl with so many tops going for her final yield weight. #2 is plodding along still in her indica stout kinda way. forming ok too #3 was the tallest of the 4 and had to be supercropped to get the lower buds some light down there. gave 5 mains a 90° bend. #4 is still a little lady but is making nice bud stacks for the party too. They are getting sticky icky now too and smell really fruity when rubbed a little well done Barneys Farm

Never heard of weedseedsexpress before coming to grow diaries. Saw the contest as a great opportunity to try new seeds, and I was very surprised with the outcome. 100% germination rate, super strong plants, easy to grow, when it comes to pests and plagues, also performed well... even tho one was chopped because of becoming hermie, didn’t had any other issues with it. They like space to grow! And taking 2kg from 5 plants, to me, it’s an absolute record! I’ll definitely wanna try now more of @weedseedsexpress and recommend you guys to try them too. Weed has been drying now for 4 days, so, pretty soon I’ll be able to add the final weight!

Week 10 Flower — The Beauty Before the Finish This week marks a very special chapter in the Eternity Grow Cup. As we approach harvest, the garden is simply glowing with beauty. Every corner, every canopy, every branch tells a story — and this week, I’ve taken the time to slow down and capture that story as best I can through the lens of my camera. All the photos you’ll see in this update were taken with care and intention. I use my Sony camera in full manual focus mode, and I don’t just snap and go — I spend time with each plant, each angle, waiting for that perfect moment when everything aligns. These are not just photos to document — they’re my attempt to reflect the feeling of the room, the energy of the grow, and the soul of each plant. Just like with the videos, I don’t shoot randomly and decide later. I record what matters, and what I record, I use. It keeps me focused, organized, and deeply connected to the process — and I believe it helps me tell the story more clearly, whether through stills or moving pictures. All five Runtz phenos are finishing beautifully. Each one expressing unique traits, but all carrying the same stunning quality — dense, clean, colorful, resin-rich flowers that fill the room with pride. This garden is finishing spotless, and I couldn’t be happier. This week’s YouTube episode will reflect that beauty. If you’re seeing this here on GrowDiaries, I highly recommend checking it out in full 4K once it’s live — there are moments that simply can’t be translated in photos alone, even though I try my best. But for those who love the details, the full spread of pictures is right here, as always. t this point in flower, the girls are not eating — they’re just drinking clean water with nothing but System Clean in the reservoir, at a rate of 0.25 ml per liter. This is part of a gentle, prolonged flush phase I like to implement, giving the plants a chance to metabolize and fade naturally. The goal is to promote clean, vibrant flowers that finish with optimal expression, without rushing the process. No forced flush, just time and care. Lighting-wise, the spectrum has been tuned with precision — we’re currently running 40% on the whites, with reds and UVs at 100% to drive trichome development, resin production, and color expression in these final days. The plants are loving it — they’re soaking in the deeper wavelengths that signal the end of their life cycle and responding with a final push of energy. And yes — we’ve been running 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness from the very start of flower. It’s not the usual 12/12, and it comes with its pros and cons. On the upside, it helps speed up ripening slightly, encourages more compact flower formation, and mimics the natural seasonal decline in daylight. On the flip side, it slightly reduces the overall DLI (daily light integral), so you need to ensure your PPFD and spectrum are dialed in just right to avoid sacrificing yield. For me, the trade-off is worth it — the plants are expressing themselves beautifully, finishing strong, and packing on the final magic. Now it’s your turn — I’d love to hear from you. Which phenotype is standing out the most to you in this garden? Which one is catching your eye with its colors, its fade, its structure, or just that vibe that speaks to your soul? Is it the frost? The density? The posture? Each of these girls has her own personality, and I know many of you have been following closely — so drop a comment, let me know: which one is your favorite? Which one would you take home? This run has officially earned the Dog Doctor Official Wax-Sealed Stamp of Approval. These genetics are beautiful — expressive, vibrant, clean. It’s been a joy to grow them, and an even greater joy to share this journey with all of you. Of course, we still have the final word coming after harvest, drying, and curing — that’s when the full picture reveals itself. But until then, based on everything we’ve seen and lived in this grow… this is the real deal. To everyone following the journey — thank you. To the sponsors, the community, the silent observers, the passionate growers, the haters, the lovers — I see you all, and I appreciate every bit of energy you send. This cup has been about more than just growing. It’s been about sharing. Connecting. Creating something beautiful together. And we’re almost there. Next stop: harvest? provably yes lets see !

Poor Skunk Apple really is the runt of the litter. I think we can blame my rookie mistake of giving it a gallon of water that was way too strong. It's been struggling to recover ever since. Hopefully this little guy will catch up eventually, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. Well, another year has come and gone. Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and I want to wish all of you a happy and healthy 2025. May this year bring you all the things you've been wishing for. Let's make this the best year yet! I can't believe how much my plants have grown during this stretch! It's like they've been on some serious plant steroids. They've all at least doubled in size, some of them even more. I have a hard time with overwatering, especially now that it's harder to let them dry out. I just don't know if I'm damaging the roots with all this growth.
