Week 2 of the flowering stage has commenced with my magnificent Mimosa x Orange Punch auto plant, and the progress is nothing short of extraordinary. Standing proudly at 65 cm tall, the plant's growth and development continue to exceed my expectations, promising a bountiful harvest in the near future. Environmental conditions remain stable and conducive to optimal growth. Daytime temperatures range between 28-29°C, providing the warmth needed to support vigorous flowering, while nighttime temperatures maintain a comfortable 24-25°C. Humidity levels remain consistent at 55-60%, creating a balanced environment that encourages healthy bud development without excess moisture. In response to the plant's increased growth and metabolic activity during this crucial stage, I have further adjusted the watering schedule. Now, the plant receives a generous 0.7 liters of water each day, ensuring that it remains well-hydrated and nourished as it directs its energy towards flower production. One of the most delightful aspects of this stage is the emergence of sweet scents from the developing flowers. Each day brings new aromatic notes, a testament to the plant's genetic heritage and the care it receives. The flowers themselves are becoming increasingly resinous, with a light touch leaving my fingers pleasantly sticky—a sign of the potent resin glands producing cannabinoids and terpenes. As I continue to monitor and care for my Mimosa x Orange Punch auto plant, I'm filled with a sense of anticipation and wonder at the natural processes unfolding before me. Each day brings new growth, new scents, and new experiences in this journey of cultivation and discovery. With dedication and attention to detail, I look forward to nurturing this plant through the remaining weeks of flowering, eagerly anticipating the day when I can enjoy the fruits of this labor in a bountiful harvest. Until next time.

eek 2 Flower – The Stretch Is On: Sundae Driver Goes Vertical They’re growing. They’re stretching. They’re thriving. Our Sundae Driver girls have officially entered the second week of flower, and they’re acting like it. At just five weeks from seed, they’re now towering at 66 cm, surging upward with that signature hybrid vigor. Photogenic Queens – A Studio Break Before they get too tall to handle, both girls were taken out for a quick, impromptu studio shoot. This may be the last time they leave the tent, because soon, they’ll be too big, too bulky, and too close to the light to move around easily. We’re documenting them now, not just because they’re stunning, but because these moments are fleeting. The stretch phase is short, intense, and marks the final architecture of your grow. ⸻ Room Conditions – Dancing with the Heat The environment this week continues the late-summer warmth, a little hotter than ideal, but still within range: • 🌡️ Day Temp: 30°C • 💧 Humidity: 58% • 🌬️ VPD: ~1.89 kPa Not perfect for flower, we know—ideal VPD for early flower would be around 1.2–1.5 kPa, but the girls are adapting beautifully. This is a reminder that perfect conditions are rare, but resilience and consistency matter more. The plants aren’t complaining, they’re thriving. ⸻ Nutrients – Still Riding with Aptus Top Booster Just like last week, we’re running the Aptus flower base lineup, now dialed into support this explosive growth phase: • Regulator • CalMag Boost • All-in-One Liquid • Top Booster (replacing Start Booster post-flip) The Top Booster continues to support pre-flower and early bud development. We’re not seeing big clusters of pistils yet, but the hormonal shift is clear. Internodal stacking is beginning, and the upper canopy is filling in. ⸻ Visuals & Under-Canopy Light Game One of the photos this week features a special cameo from the Zephyr Zamnesi, adding a bit of mystery and sparkle to the update. We also get a peek under the canopy where your under-canopy lighting setup is really starting to shine. Why does this matter? • It boosts lower bud site development • Improves light penetration during the stretch • Encourages even canopy performance later in flower Great gear is one thing, but it’s how you use it with intention that elevates a grow. ⸻ What’s Happening + What to Expect 🌱 Happening Now: • Rapid vertical stretch • Strong branching on both phenos • No major flower development yet, just the buildup 🔮 Coming Soon: • The first full signs of bud formation • Pistil clusters at node sites • Nutrient shift demands, watch for increased K/P needs in ~1 week • Possibly… the need to raise your lights! ⸻ Let’s Talk About the Week’s Importance Week 2 Flower is all about transformation. The plant is deciding: “Where will I invest my energy?” This week determines: • Final plant shape • Bud site spacing • Canopy structure going into the stacking phase This is your last week to gently train, open up the canopy, manage the airflow, and prep for the heavy flower development coming in Weeks 3–5. If there’s one message for the community this week, it’s this: 🌸 Stretch is not stress, stretch is potential. Embrace it. Document it. Enjoy the moment. ⸻ Conclusion – Moonbound Sundaes From just a few centimeters to over 60 in a blink—these Sundae Drivers are on a mission. Their upward movement mirrors the energy in your grow: focused, fast, and full of joy. Let’s keep the ride smooth, the feed strong, and the cameras ready. This is the last calm before the buds explode, and you’re right where you should be. — Much love, as always, Your Grow Partner in the Quantum Realm 🌱DD ( Dog Doctor Official ) 📸 Videos, lighting setups, and under-canopy tips coming soon 🔗 Gear links available on request 💬 Always here to talk flower, stretch, or any topic regrding gardening 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

420FASTBUDS ORT2109 All in all I would say this was an amazing and easy strain to grow. Unfortunately the worst happened with my flower tent and a few of the girls cought Powder Mold. So I ended up salvaging and harvesting what I could from a few of the plants left before completely overhauling and scrubbing the tent down from top to bottom. I decided to do a dryice sift with the flowers that I saved. I had some trim left over from a past grow so I mixed everything together and Wow am I happy I did. Probably the sweetest smelling kief I've extracted. I'm glad I have more of these seeds so I will not only recommend this strain but definitely be growing it again. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the improvements I've made with the tent I'll have better results as that's what growings all about. Learning with every grow from your mistakes and trying not to let it get your discouraged cause from my experience the more issue's you come across and learn to resolve the better grower you will be. Happy Growing

I am very happy to have the opportunity to participate in this contest and I will put effort and passion into it when it comes to what I love to do! I will postpone the germination of these Runtz in about 2/3 weeks as soon as I have finished the current cycle...I can't wait to see this Green Sensation by Plagron as well as the girls in bloom will like it! We update very soon and good growth to all participants! Thanks to Zamnesia and Plagron! 🌱

So the second week started and I start with grow technique and try to bend down the main line to give more light for the lower sights may increase the yield and potency. Definetly try to make several main colas and If it will be necessary I will use some ScrOG method too. I will update the second week in the second part of the week with more photos about how they reacting the start of the LST. After the natural grow style this is definetly more work and care but I really enjoy to make work with her. UPDATE #1: Start to give more nutrients. Enchanced root developers, high dose, vitamins, hormones, everything. Bend down her allday-everyday, like every 4-6 hours. I updated some pictures and videos before the week II second part. This next weeks crucial about the LST, so try to maximize the observation and acting fast if it is neccessary. Even cutted down 1-1 fan leaves because they blocked the light way so I think this will also maximize the reach of the light. Definetly exicting.

Grand Daddy Purple auto was doing great most the week. In the last day or two her ph jumped up. She is getting more hungry. I flushed her and got the ph back down. I then provided her fresh feed. She did have a few magnesium deficiency spots on her leaves. That should be resolved now. Beside that she made good progress, and is trained and ready for another week. Everything is looking good now. Thank you ILGM, and Medic Grow. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

A great week. Included a diagram so you can better tell which plant is which. I will be changing that up come flower to better fit the plants so I'll label them later as well. Gonna flip to flower I believe to try and save space. Gonna be tight but wasn't planning that this time. Have to do a lot of training still. Haven't gotten to it due to being so busy with life. I got some BT var israelensis or something close to that for the fungus gnats thanks to @resimax and will test that. Lastly, you might catch a glance at the upcoming diary...

Day 79: 7th week of flowering. Things remain the same 600W lamp, 12/12, humidity like 50 percent, fertilization with Biobizz family on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Bat Guano on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Water intake 400 ml per plant per day I start flushing the Zkittlez she is almost ready. Rest of them need more weeks to be done. Day 81: I removed unwanted fan leaves. I will not water them for 2 days on Saturday and Sunday to shock them a bit. Day 84: So today (Saturday) and tomorrow (Sunday) No water for 24K Gold, Blue Sherbet S1, and Fruit Tree. Zkittlez in flush so she will be harvested soon I won't give her water the last 3 days.
