DankieDoodle 🌱 DankieDoodle – Week 1 (09.11.2025) | Germination & Early Seedling Stage
💧 Day 1 – The Beginning
Seeds dropped: Pure Runtz (T.H. Seeds), Strawberry Poprocks (Anesia Seeds) & Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds).
After 24 h in water, all three showed short white taproots (~0.5 mm).
Substrate prepped 48 h earlier:
Coco Perlite (70/30) + Lightmix + Worm Humus + Zeolite + Vermiculite + Silicium Flash + Startrex + BioTabs.
Moistened with RootJuice (1 ml/L) + Heaven (2 ml/L) + Epsom salt (0.15 g/L).
Seeds placed root-tip down, lightly covered and watered (~100 ml).
💡 Environment: 25–27 °C | 85 % RH | 300 µmol/m²/s @ 40 % | 18/6 light
🎯 Goal: steady moisture & upright seedlings by Day 6
🌿 Day 2–3 – Sprouting Success
Radical Juice cracked first, followed by Pure Runtz & Strawberry Poprocks within 48 h.
All three emerged strong — bright green cotyledons, no stretch, balanced growth.
💧 Water: ~100 ml each (RootJuice 1 ml/L + Heaven 2 ml/L + Epsom 0.15 g/L)
Environment stable at 25–27 °C & 85 % RH under the dome.

DankieDoodle 🌿 DankieDoodle 🗓️ Week 2 (16.11.2025)
🗓️ Vegetative Day 1
The girls officially enter the vegetative phase today!
All three seedlings Pure Runtz, Strawberry Poprocks, and Radical Juice look healthy and vibrant.
Cotyledons are still green and open, and the first set of serrated leaves has expanded nicely.
You can already see that the stems are starting to thicken a bit, and the leaf color is a clean, bright green perfect for this stage.
No stretch issues, meaning the light distance and PPFD (~300 µmol/m²/s) are spot on.
💧 Watering:
Each pot received 250 ml of water evenly distributed over the surface.
No additives this time just clean water to activate the microbes and keep the substrate alive.
The mix still feels perfectly balanced: airy, moist but not wet.
So far everything feels in sync calm start, no stress, and a nice steady rhythm.
The real growth phase begins now 🌿✨
🗓️ Vegetative Day 2
Today was a calm day with no watering the substrate still felt evenly moist.
🗓️ Vegetative Day 3
💧 Watering:
Today each plant received ~500 ml of water according to our BioTabs schedule:
RootJuice (1 ml/L) + Heaven (2 ml/L) + Epsom (0.15 g/L).
No runoff, just slow and steady absorption to keep the microbial zone active.
💡 Lighting Update:
Light intensity increased from 300 → 350 µmol/m²/s (@ 50 % power) on the Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO.
This should help the young plants strengthen their stems and boost early leaf development without causing stress.
A smooth and balanced start to early veg the rhythm feels right. 🌿
🗓️ Vegetative Day 4
Nothing special today the plants continue to look stable and symmetrical.
No watering needed as the substrate still feels evenly moist.
Leaves remain flat and vibrant green with no stretch or stress.
🗓️ Vegetative Day 5
💧 Watering:
Today each plant received ~500 ml of water according to our BioTabs schedule:
RootJuice (1 ml/L) + Heaven (2 ml/L) + Epsom (0.15 g/L).
No runoff, just slow and steady absorption to keep the microbial zone active.
🗓️ Vegetative Day 6
No visible changes today just slow and consistent progress.
All three (Pure Runtz, Strawberry Poprocks, Radical Juice) maintain good color and structure.
Roots are clearly expanding below the surface exactly the calm phase before the next growth burst.
🗓️ Vegetative Day 7
A calm day for all three girls — no action today.
Just maintaining stable conditions and letting the roots keep expanding.
All steady still focusing on root growth and internode development 🌱

DankieDoodle 📅 Vegetative – Week 2, Day 1
Today all three plants Pure Runtz, Strawberry Poprocks, and Radical Juice were watered evenly with 1 L each, following the standard feeding plan.
The substrate absorbed it beautifully, no runoff, nice distribution through the top layer.
💧 Water Mix:
RootJuice 1 ml/L
Biobizz Heaven 2 ml/L
Epsom Salt 0.15 g/L
pH natural (7.4 tap water)
The plants look strong, bright green, and symmetrical, great early veg development!
💡 Environment:
Temp: 25–26 °C
RH: 70 %
PPFD: ~400 µmol/m²/s (Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO @ 50 %)
Cycle: 18/6
The girls are now entering active growth next few days should bring more leaf expansion and visible progress 🌿✨
📅 Vegetative – Week 2, Day 2 – 5
Nothing major this time the plants are in full establishment mode.
After the last watering (1 L per pot following the nutrient schedule), the substrate still feels evenly moist and perfectly aerated.
All three ladies — Pure Runtz (T.H.Seeds), Strawberry Poprocks (Anesia Seeds), and Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds) show steady, symmetrical growth with no stress signs.
Leaves are broad, flat, and rich green, with short internodes exactly what you want for a dense SCROG canopy later.
A calm mid-week everything running smooth and balanced

✂️ Topping & Transition Week
This week marked an important step in shaping the structure all three girls, Pure Runtz (T.H.Seeds), Strawberry Poprocks (Anesia Seeds), and Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds), were topped cleanly above the 4th node to begin forming their SCROG-ready main frame.
All cuts healed fast, and the plants responded perfectly zero stress, vibrant color, and compact, even growth.
💧 Watering & Feeding
Day 1: Each plant received 1 L of water, following the regular schedule.
Absorption was perfect no runoff, great structure, and a healthy, active root zone.
Water Mix:
RootJuice — 1 ml/L
Biobizz Heaven — 2 ml/L
Epsom Salt — 0.15 g/L
pH — natural (7.4 tap water)
💡 Environment:
Temp: 25 °C
RH: 68–70 %
PPFD: ~550 µmol/m²/s (Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO @ 50 %)
Cycle: 18/6
VPD: ~1.0 kPa
🌿 Midweek (Day 4)
All three plants were watered again with 1 L each, using the same nutrient mix.
Substrate dried evenly, roots are expanding rapidly, and all three show symmetrical, low-stress growth.
🌞 End of Week (Day 7)
By Day 7, the pots were drying out completely after only two days a clear sign of a well-developed root system.
The Autopots were activated today to let the plants get used to consistent moisture levels before the next growth stage.
🚀 Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds) Note:
Between Day 5 and Day 7, she showed explosive vertical growth, pushing herself right into 650 µmol/m²/s PPFD resulting in slight tip burn on the top leaves.
Nothing serious, just a light stress mark from her incredible vigor.
The light intensity has since been adjusted down to 550 µmol/m²/s for all plants to maintain perfect balance and canopy health.
🌱 Summary:
Structure after topping looks perfect four strong mains on each.
All three cultivars are balanced, compact, and healthy.
Radical Juice shows top-tier growth potential; all plants are ready for the next phase.
A clean and productive week steady growth, solid recovery, and the Autopots now active to keep the rhythm flowing.
Next step: another topping and the first round of gentle LST to open up the canopy evenly 🌿✨

DankieDoodle DankieDoodle 📅 Vegetative – Week 4 (Days 1–3)
💧 Autopot System in Full Swing!
The week started strong the Autopot reservoir was filled with 10 L of water, mixed only with Epsom Salt (0.15 g/L) to provide a gentle boost of magnesium and sulfur for enzyme activity and chlorophyll balance.
Just 24 hours later, the entire tank was empty the girls are drinking hard! 🌱
This shows the roots have fully colonized the lower zone and are now pulling water consistently through the system.
Today, another 10 L refill was added to maintain hydration and microbial balance throughout the substrate.
Moisture distribution is perfect no overwatering, no runoff, just a healthy, active root environment.
✂️ Second Topping Day!
All three plants Pure Runtz (T.H.Seeds), Strawberry Poprocks (Anesia Seeds), and Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds) were topped again to define their final structure for the SCROG canopy.
Each of the four main branches was topped above the 2nd node, creating eight strong, symmetrical main shoots per plant.
The cuts were clean, recovery immediate no droop, no stress, just vigorous energy.
The structure now looks perfectly balanced, ready for training and lateral spread.
💧 Watering Summary:
Autopot refilled twice this week, total 20 L consumed
Mix: Epsom Salt (0.15 g/L)
Drainage: none (system working flawlessly)
Signs of strong transpiration and active nutrient cycling
💡 Environment:
Temp: 25 °C
RH: 68 %
PPFD: ~550 µmol/m²/s (Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO @ 50 %)
VPD: ~1.0 kPa
Cycle: 18/6
🌿 Notes:
The plants have officially entered their rapid vegetative expansion phase.
New shoots are spreading evenly, the canopy is filling fast, and the Autopots are keeping the rhythm perfectly balanced.
Over the next few days, the focus will shift to LST and canopy shaping, allowing each of the 8 tops to form an even layer under the SCROG net.
Color, vigor, and structure all point toward a flawless transition into late veg.
Everything’s clicking roots, canopy, and climate all in perfect sync. 🌱✨
