I'm still working out how much water to give, and I've probably under watered. The heat wave has driven the temps up, but these plants are still growing. Started flowering around day 23. Tied them down to try to get more light to the lower flower sites. Still haven't decided what to feed during flower, other than Big Bud. Any recommendations are welcome!

🌸 Week 4 Flower — Permanent Marker 🌸 Here we are, my dear friends, entering the 4th week of flower and things are getting really exciting. The two phenos are now starting to show their true personalities: • Pheno #1 — our sky-reacher, standing proudly at 2 meters tall! She’s stretching hard, aiming for the moon, and has forced me to pull the lights all the way up. Fingers crossed she slows down here, but what a presence she has in the room. • Pheno #2 — the compact sister, sitting around 120 cm tall, balanced, and just as beautiful. Both are similar in structure and leaf formation, but their size difference makes this grow even more fascinating. Despite the heat challenges earlier, the girls are holding strong. With the AC unit now installed, conditions are finally more under control, and I’m hopeful it will make all the difference going forward. ✨ This Week’s Focus ✨ • Height management: Lights are maxed out, now it’s all about keeping balance and preventing stress. • Environment: Temps are more stable with the AC, giving the plants the comfort they need to keep stacking. • Observation: These differences between phenos are a reminder of how unique each expression can be, even within the same strain. 🌱 Nutrition Still running with the Aptus organic program: regulator, top booster, calmag when needed. The base super soil and pellets are carrying the weight beautifully. Leaves are lush, flowers forming, and energy is focused upward. 🔎 A Note on Pheno Hunting One of the most exciting parts of growing from seed is watching the phenotypes express themselves. Even seeds from the same pack can show different growth patterns, some stretch tall like Pheno #1, others stay compact like Pheno #2. Neither is “better” or “worse”, they simply carry different traits from their genetic background. This diversity is what makes pheno hunting so magical: it gives growers the chance to select the expression that best suits their style, space, and taste. 🐝 The Dognabis Cup is ON! 🐝 This week also marks a special moment, the Dognabis Cup is officially underway! 🎉 Welcoming packs have started arriving at growers’ doors, unboxing photos and videos are already popping up, and the first diaries are live. It’s a joy to see the community coming together. 💌 Invitation I invite everyone to check out the new Cup diaries, cheer for each other, share experiences, and most of all, have fun. Remember, the more complete and detailed the diaries are, the better your chances to win. And with both autos and photoperiods in the packs, everyone has two chances to shine. **THE DOGNABIS CUP OFFICIALLY STARTED** ⏰ @everyone **The Dognabis Cup** is an independent, community-driven virtual competition designed to bring people together, celebrate and share the passion for cultivation.

Harvesting An ELEPHANT !!! And after 118 day from seed and 101 from wen she started her mix veg/flowering process, i cant say for sure but i am starting to believe that this auto world do veg, then veg and flower in conjunction for a wile and only after they a wile they move to a flowering stage completely but thats another post another day lol today was harvest day for this Auto Elephant from SSSC , and let me tel you she is a delight with huge fruits, so big that i normally cut and hang the all plant and for this i did not take the risk of doing that and getting bud rot , better safe than sorry, so what i broke her in smaller peaces and put it all in the rack. Now not much to do than waiting for it to get around 10/15% humidity and jar with it all. This one as you guys can see from the video , this is a full covered in trichomes BIG MAMA and touching her is like touching super glue or something lol i was trying to put all the colas in one picture , but is simply just not possible , they all look great so i selected 4 of them for a true back back ground <3 Thank you Super Sativa Seed Club for this opportunity, i fell like a champion no matter what with this 2 Mamas, much respect on the work you guys did on this Elephant As always thank you all for stoping by for your love and for it all, i fell humble and honored

She's really popping off with her bud sites. Short but definitely promising. Managed to tidy up the grow tent a bit and did a bit of cable management so I could put in the dehumidifier. Hoping to reach lower RH from now on.

Today i watered 2000ml ph regulated water. Also removed some yellow leaves from toxy. (Day 72) Waterd 1000ml both plants. You can see how the buds are getting bigger 🌺😋 Checked trichomes on top, some are turning amber and the rest is milky. (Day 74) It is slowly coming to an end. The buds are getting thicker, the leaves are getting yellower, the smell is getting stronger. Toxy is even getting very colorful. Watered toxy 1700ml and sticky 1300ml.

New week! Tips and help from last week, I had around 1500 ppm and I did flush my roots in water and change everything. Now is around 1000 ppm and dropping 150 ppm a day. Did read about water level in DWC and how to increase the grow with water. I had the water almost up to the root or the level of there the basket is. Now I have 1-2 inch (2-5 cm) below where the roots come out. This create air roots. I'm not sure if it's the air roots or the ppm but my flower is boosting. Can se buds grow!! Trimming so I can keep the same hight. Have any tips or rekomandation? Only have one question for next week and this is: it's looking a bit thigth between the buds and all of the leaf is cristal on it. Should I cut some more leaf? And what leaf should I trim? Is so thigth in there. Or will it grow fine?

Week 8 Day 58, started flushing with plain tap water, no nutrients. pH 7.1. Experience a heat wave in the week (D58 to 61) which drove temperatures up, extended nyt time to 19 5, but even late evening it rose to 31c ( for upto 2 hrs before dropping to a steady 26c. Heat stress to some of the top fan leaves(curling). Orange hairs slowly! appearing. Very sticky, vanilla cream scent, it's coming upto week 9 D64, not sure if they'll be ready or will need another week longer? However, Not all cream caramels 'look' the same. Smells strong, sweet, vanilla cream
