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 🌱

✂️ 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 Summary
✂️ Structure, Training & Growth
Week 4 focused on shaping the canopy and building a strong base for the upcoming SCROG setup.
After recovering beautifully from the first topping, all three ladies Pure Runtz (T.H.Seeds), Strawberry Poprocks (Anesia Seeds), and Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds) developed healthy, symmetrical new growth and were ready for more structure work.
Each plant was topped again early this week to further divide the main branches and widen the canopy.
Right after topping, gentle LST (low stress training) was applied to guide the new shoots outward, creating space and light penetration through the center.
The result is a clean, balanced structure with eight strong tops per plant and compact internodes, setting up perfectly for SCROG training. 🌿✨
💧 Watering & Autopot Activation
The Autopot system is now fully active and running smoothly.
At the start of the week, the reservoir was filled with 10 L of water mixed only with Epsom Salt (0.15 g/L) to provide magnesium and sulfur support.
After just one day, the entire 10 L was gone, showing that the root systems are now fully developed and pulling water efficiently from the trays.
A new 10 L refill was added with the same Epsom mix to maintain stable moisture and mineral levels.
💧 Water Mix (Autopot Tank):
Epsom Salt: 0.15 g/L
pH: Natural (7.4 tap water)
The substrate remains evenly moist without runoff, and the oxygen levels in the root zone are ideal, keeping the plants in perfect hydration balance.
💡 Environment
Temp: 25 °C
RH: 68 %
VPD: ~1.0 kPa
PPFD: 550 µmol/m²/s (Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO @ 50 %)
Cycle: 18/6
The environment stayed very stable throughout the week.
VPD around 1.0 kPa keeps nutrient uptake active and ensures smooth transpiration, which also explains the strong increase in water consumption.
🔆 Light Adjustment Note
By Day 7, Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds) showed the most aggressive stretch, growing quickly from Day 5 to Day 7.
This caused her to reach around 650 µmol/m²/s PPFD, which resulted in slightly burnt tips on a few top leaves.
No real issue, just a small sign of fast metabolism and high light intensity.
The light was slightly dimmed afterward, and all plants now sit at ~550 µmol/m²/s, the perfect level for steady vegetative growth. 🌞
🌿 Overall Plant Health
Pure Runtz – Compact, balanced structure with beautiful symmetry.
Strawberry Poprocks – Tight internodes and rich green leaves, excellent training response.
Radical Juice – Fastest grower with strong vigor and a little light sensitivity but quick recovery.
All plants show deep green color, lush growth, and high energy.
The slight tip color on some leaves indicates perfect nutrient uptake and active growth, nothing concerning.
🧠 Notes & Next Steps
The canopy structure is now defined and expanding evenly.
Week 5 will focus on vertical recovery and canopy leveling under the SCROG net.
Once the new shoots gain height, gentle tucking under the net will begin.
Water uptake and VPD will continue to be closely monitored as the plants move into peak vegetative metabolism.
🌈 Summary
Week 4 was a key turning point in this run.
The root zones are strong, the Autopot system is working perfectly, and the structural training has created a uniform canopy base.
The balance between light, airflow, and moisture feels just right, and the plants are responding beautifully.
From here on, it’s all about refining the shape, guiding the tops into the net, and preparing for the flowering transition.
A clean, powerful, and perfectly balanced Veg Week 🌱💪
