Finally A successful process I can finally harvest… 😭 1 of 6. When I thought an Auto, turns out got myself a traditional 6 month seed to harvest, she got a whole month of flushing, want that smooth smoke, besides presentation it must the smoke must be subtle on the throat. She just fooled me with her flowering, she has truly took her time maturing. Next week I am harvesting, and I will definitely post my experience, and how I dry and cure my harvest.

📆 Semana 6 La Alien Moonrocks sigue en plena forma: los cogollos se están desarrollando con fuerza y empiezan a coger una estructura redondeada y densa, con una capa de resina que no deja de aumentar. En cuanto a nutrición, sigo con XpertNutrients y esta semana he continuado aplicando Sticky Fingers, que ya está dejando huella: se nota una mayor explosión de tricomas y un incremento claro en la intensidad aromática. La planta está respondiendo muy bien, sin signos de saturación ni estrés. La iluminación de los Adlite sigue siendo clave, permitiendo una distribución homogénea de luz que está ayudando a formar cogollos compactos incluso en zonas medias. Clima controlado: 22-25 °C de temperatura y humedad en torno al 55%, pero con buena circulación de aire para prevenir cualquier problema. Los aromas comienzan a intensificarse, con notas dulces y un fondo terroso que promete una flor final muy sabrosa. Los tricomas están en su mayoría lechosos, sin señales de ámbar aún, así que seguimos en plena fase de engorde. Una genética con presencia, y cada vez más pegajosa. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Week 6 Flower — Sundae Driver (deep dive) Quick recap — From seed to Week 6 • Germination: Pillbox + water enriched with Aptus Regulator / Start Booster; three seeds, two kept. • Early transplant: Seedlings moved directly into final 11 L fabric pots with a living / amended super-soil (Janeco Light Mix + Aptus line + mycorrhizae, substrate buffer, micro-mix). • Short veg: Minimal veg time (early transplant strategy), light training (leaf-tucking) and one deliberate supercrop to control a “moon-shot” top. • Flower flip: You used an 11/13 light schedule to encourage a firm, fast transition into flower. • Now: Week 6 of flower — plants are large, heavy, and beginning to show clear resin development. ⸻ This week’s snapshot (what you told me) • Solution EC: 0.7 mS/cm (you stopped All-in-One liquid and pulled solution EC down) • Solution pH: ~6.1 • Soil/substrate EC: still comparatively high (you reported earlier numbers around 5–6 mS/cm) — the living soil is doing the heavy lifting. • Feed plan kept: Plagron PowerBuds, Green Sensation, Sugar Royal (all low-dose), plus Aptus Regulator and Aptus CalMag Boost. • Plants: heavy, bulking, obvious frost/trichome production; supercrop site is producing well. ⸻ Why you lowered solution EC and stopped the All-in-One liquid • Letting the soil lead. Your living, richly amended soil already holds lots of available ions. Pulling water-solution EC back to ~0.7 makes the fertigation a light steering input rather than the dominant nutrient source. That reduces the risk of salt buildup while letting the soil biology and reserves feed the plants. • Encouraging ripening, not more vegetative growth. Lowering soluble N input and total EC reduces vegetative vigor and encourages the plant to reallocate energy into flower development and resin production. • Cleaner profile. A lighter solution often helps express terpenes and can reduce harsh residual taste if you choose to flush later. • Risk management. With a high substrate EC you avoid compounding salts, but you must monitor runoff EC/pH to ensure you’re not drifting into deficiency or toxicity. ⸻ Trichomes & white pistils, what you’re seeing and what it means • White pistils (hairs): still plentiful, the plant is mid-flower, still producing new pistils while older ones will start darkening in the coming weeks. A lot of white pistils now is normal at Week 6; they will darken and curl as maturity approaches. • Trichome types & stages: you’re seeing more glandular heads and sticky sugar leaves. Trichomes progress roughly: clear → cloudy/milky → amber. • Clear: immature (not peak potency) • Cloudy/milky: peak cannabinoid expression, usually target harvest for a balanced high • Amber: more degraded THC → more sedative, couch-type effect; some amber is normal depending on desired effect • What heavy trichome coverage now means: the plants have moved into active resin production; enzymes and carbon flux are being directed to terpene and cannabinoid pathways. Continued support (sugars, PK, stable environment) helps maximize resin and terpene development. ⸻ Supercrop update — technical recap & why it worked • Mechanics: you bruised/softened the stem, bent it, and closed the wound so the plant formed a strengthened knuckle. That redirection reduces apical dominance and sends auxin to lateral sites. • Results you observed: rapid curve-up, additional bud sites along the bent branch, and notable fruiting at the knuckle/top area. That’s expected, the wound redirects hormonal flow and the plant compensates by boosting side growth and flowers. • Monitoring: the knuckle strengthens over 3–7 days; watch for any slow-healing splits and keep airflow over the site to prevent moisture pooling. ⸻ Why you kept Plagron + Aptus (what each brings) • Plagron PowerBuds / Green Sensation / Sugar Royal: targeted bloom stimulators (PK, co-factors, carbs/aminos). They help compact flowers, feed terpene pathways, and provide sugars/precursors that support aroma and density. • Plagron Sugar Royal: acts as a carbohydrate/secondary biostimulant — supports microbes and gives a sugar boost that plants and microbes use for energy in resin synthesis. • Aptus Regulator: supports stress resilience, uptake efficiency, cell wall strength — especially valuable under high light/heat. • Aptus CalMag Boost: maintains Ca/Mg balance, essential for cell structure and avoiding tip burn when uptake is rapid. • Strategy: Plagron drives bloom chemistry; Aptus protects physiology and supports clean uptake. With soil heavy on reserves, both are applied as focused steering tools. ⸻ Week 6: What is happening physiologically • The plant transitions from stretch to stacking: calyxes thicken, pistils begin to darken in the coming weeks, and trichome density increases. • Carbohydrate flux is prioritized to the floral sink; you’ll see faster water uptake and increased K demand. • Leaf yellowing in lower leaves often begins around now as N is remobilized to flowers, this is frequently normal in mid-late flower if controlled and not extreme. ⸻ What to expect next (practical timeline & signals) Expect (over the next 1–3 weeks): • Continued calyx swelling and denser flowers. • Trichomes moving from mostly clear → cloudy (you’ll start seeing the ‘frost’ become more opaque). • Stronger terpene aroma as sugars and PK feed resin pathways. • Heavier water uptake and faster EC changes between runs. Don’t expect (yet): • Final resin peak — that typically comes later (weeks 7–10 depending on genetics). • Immediate massive ambering — amber trichomes usually develop later in the finish window. • No surprises — biological systems still can flip; remain monitoring-forward. Watch closely for: • Runoff EC & pH after a couple of waterings — if runoff EC climbs very high, consider a mild runoff correction. • Humidity & bud density: keep RH controlled to avoid botrytis (mid 40–55% during heavy stacking; lower as flowers bulk). • Magnesium / Potassium signs: interveinal yellowing (Mg) or edge cupping/crisping (K) — maintain CalMag and consider K if uptake accelerates. ⸻ Actionable checklist for Week 6 • Continue solution EC ~0.7 and pH ~6.1; treat fertigation as steering. • Measure runoff EC/pH at least once this week — log the results. • Keep Plagron bloom stack + Aptus Regulator & CalMag at light doses. • Keep canopy airflow high; consider lowering RH progressively if buds bulk fast. • Prepare stakes / soft ties or light trellis for heavy colas (supercrop sites may need support). • Microscope checks: start daily/alternate-day inspection of trichomes with 30–60× loupe — photograph if you want a timeline. • Avoid heavy new training; minor tucks/leaf removal to open air/light only. ⸻ A short note on flushing (planning) • Many growers flush with pH-balanced plain water 1–2 weeks before harvest to reduce soluble salts and tighten flavor; opinions vary. If you intend to flush, start planning timing based on trichome stage, not calendar alone. Your living soil and current low-solution EC approach already help keep things cleaner. ⸻ Final reflection — gratitude & community Week 6 is where the plant’s intent becomes visible: form into flower, pack on weight, and build resin. Your measured decision to pull back water EC while continuing Plagron’s bloom stimulants and Aptus support is a smart “steer, don’t force” approach that lets the living soil and the plant do the heavy metabolic work. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

So out of my girls this time this strain is my favourite! Reminds me of runtz muffin as I've discovered it has critical orange punch and the main terp that stood out on the runtz muffin was the orange punch! I'm so excited and happy to have something like this in my grow! Look at her structure she is so vigorous and bonus bonus clones are this strain! So I have 4 plants off this 😁😌 I have zero complaints, everything is next to perfect! Light is at the very top top in my 180cm tent makes me feel this will be my best one yet!

Prepared 9 , 5 gallon fabric pots. Started presoak of beans at noon on August 31st. About 4 hrs then switch to pure water for 8 more hours. Around midnight switch to paper towel and plates. Set heat pad @86°. Prep solo cups with Light Warrior ff, on the 2nd of September check tails and plant in solos. Wet solos the day before and start heating them up on the mat in domes. After seeds pop in solos wet the center of 5gal pots until runoff and start heating main tent with the big pots in it. Transplant seedlingson or around September 7th. I'll try to remember to post a germination pic. I use rain water with 5ml calmag per gal with a ph 6.0-6.5 no adjustment to the ph is needed. That's how I water throughout the grow, unless I see a deficiency that needs immediate attention. Soil is a mixture of Fox Farm soils , I added pumice, perlite, peat, moss, ewc, compost, guano, langbeinite, dietamacieous earth and dry fertilizers like Dr EARTH Bud and Bloom, or Pennington tomato. Installing bamboo frames for LST. I'll LST and top once usually. Manifolding is fun but takes an extra 2 weeks for me so I have started to avoid tall strains. I've grown Wedding Cake a few times, also Chemdog and Gelato, but the N. Lights and Peyote WiFi are gonna be a new experience. No idea what PW will be, they were freebies won in the Seedsman 4-20 contest 2021. Pretty sure the Northern lights will be similar in size to wedding cake. It will all get sorted out over the next 7 weeks. Ill move them around until a conopy looks good. That 2x4 tent is mainly for germinating seedlings and drying harvest but can also be useful for overfolw or quarantine. The 4x4 is taller plants. The 3x5 with that vioer spectra 480w light is bad ass but does have limits on total plant height, really really strong light.Alright that's it, I'm back with no name or gender changes, had some success and failure here before, I expect that trend to continue.I'll be checking your darlings out. 8/2 added a few more beans to the paper towels. These old beans from GOG seem to be bad, probably due to the factory seed pack. They are blister packs with plain card board backing, the plastic is heavy butvonly on the top for protection from crushing. Obviously not good for storage , so much for trying to maintain humidity. Added six more chemdog millionaire and 4 more Northern Lights beans to the paper towel for germination last night so far all these chemdogs and northern lights haven't germinated. The wedding cakes spouted then died before the tails were a quarter inch long. I've never had so many fail. This is gonna take a while but I'll eventually find some beans that aren't full of dust. Garden of Green love ya but this is bad. Update September 7th I've added- 3 Black Sugars, 6 White Widows, 5 Hellfire OG, all failed they are just dry husk that sink and stay on the bottom of a glass with water. Out of 60 or so seeds I think 6 germinated and 4 actually became seedlings. Stating over with. 5 Seedsman Gelat OG feminized and 5 Seedsman Amnesia FAST feminized pre soaked last night then started paper towel method at 5am today. Still have 5 of 9 pots that are empty. What a fucking ordeal.im just gonna continue with what is up already and say day 1 was Sept 12. That's close enough for this mess.

FINISHED THE 2ND WEEK OF FLOWER, THEY REALLY FILLED OUT NICE FROM THE MAJOR DEFOLIATION I DID 3 WEEKS IN A ROW .SEEDS PUT INTO THE SOIL ON JUNE 22ND SORRY TO EVERYONE WHO TRIES TALKING TO ME....I STILL CANT TALK TO ANYONE BECAUSE I TRIED CHANGING MY EMAIL ON HERE AND IT MESSED EVERYTHING UP. I CANT LIKE ANYTHING OR COMMENT ON ANYTHING. THE WORST IS I CANT JOIN CONTESTS STRIVE NUTRIENTS IS THE BEST IVE EVER USED. A MUST TRY AND I BUY IT MYSELF. GOT A SAMPLE LAST YEAR AND ITS SO GOOD I BOUGHT MORE. ITS A 2 PART POWDER NUTRIENT THAT DISSOLVES IN MINUTES AND YOU MIX THE SAME STRENGTH OF THE 2 PART NUTRIENTS FROM WEEK 2 UNTIL THEY ARE FINISHED (BESIDES THE FLUSH), NO MORE BULLSHIT OF SWITCHING TO BLOOM FERTILIZER. THATS MY FAVORITE THING BESIDES THE RESULTS. CHECK EM OUT AND BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ BECAUSE ITS NO BULLSHIT, AWESOME FRIENDLY AND HONEST PEOPLE

What a great strain...definitely surprised me positively. Thank you Exotic Seeds for the opportunity to work with you trying this awsome plant. It has a steady growth, kinda short and bushy like a lot of plants with strong indica traits Very dense buds, big ones, fat and resinous. With a LOT of productions all-over the plant. So much thricome production it sparkles white. Cutes it yesterday (17/12/2023) altough on my opinion it could have 1 more week. Altough because of the huge problem I had to do it. This grow tent (specially the other plant growing side by side) had a mold issue, bud rot spreading fast. I must have lost about 5 65 grams of wet flower total on the Fat Banana. When I cuted it 🍓 Strawberry Cola weighted 829 grams it has a lot of defoliation done alredy but I'll trim it 100% when dry. This is it, thank you all of you growmies for watching this grow. See u guys on the next one.

She was thirsty this morning and watered not too long before update; hence not completely perky. Working on heavy LST to make best use of space when it gets moved to flower tent. Unsure how long I’ll keep her in veg. Photos/video taken 35 days after breaking soil

Esta semana agregue una pastilla de easy 2 grow x 15l de agua y los siguientes riegos con agua. He ido haciendo cropping y moldeando un poco las plantas. Por fin noto mejoria desde que desequilibre el PH. Arranco el Autopot para las Hulkberry. Las gelato van con riego a mano, no tengo mas autopot. Un vaso de agua de plastico cada 3 dias.

This lovely lady is going from strength to strength. She is stacking up still and looks set to produce some insanely large tops. The smell is starting to come through. A real distinctive haze odour already. Can't wait to see her fatten up!

Que pasa familia, ya estamos de nuevo y actualizamos la segunda semana 😘 La verdad que están creciendo bien pronto tendremos que trasplantar para corregir la altura. El Ph Lo tenemos controlado en 6.2 y poco a poco van tirando. Todavía no echamos nada de productos Pronto bajaremos la altura del foco también. Esta variedad de @zambezaseeds no pinta mal familia 🙈

Se reparo el problema con el riego que se vio la semana anterior y se prosigue con 3 riegos semanales, lunes, miercoles y sabados. La altura de las plantas va de los 40 a los 85cm un promedio de 62cm. Las flores empiezan a tomar volumen.
