Dankie Run #1 – Fruity Syndicate 🍓

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

DankieDoodle DankieDoodle 📅 Vegetative – Week 3, Days 1–7 ✂️ 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 🌱💪

DankieDoodle 📘 GrowDiaries – Vegetative Week 5 DankieDoodle | Veg Week 5 – Structure, Recovery & Canopy Work 🌿 Week 5 was all about shaping structure and preparing the girls for their final training before the flip. All three Pure Runtz (T.H.Seeds), Strawberry Poprocks (Anesia Seeds), and Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds) have responded beautifully after their second topping last week. Strong recovery, vigorous new growth, and a healthy canopy across all plants. 🌱 Training & Canopy Development Early in the week, the girls continued their steady vertical growth, filling out evenly from each topped node. Midweek, a full LST session and defoliation (Day 6) were done to open up the lower canopy and promote even light distribution. Lower fan leaves and small inner growth were removed. Each main branch was gently tied down to spread the canopy wider. The internal airflow has improved significantly, and the plants are responding with tight, symmetrical node spacing. By the end of the week, the structure was completely reset flat, wide, and balanced perfect for the SCROG net setup in Week 6. 💧 Autopot / Watering The Autopot system continues to perform perfectly. The girls are drinking consistently and efficiently the 10L tank is emptied roughly every 24–36 hours, showing strong root zone activity. Water mix (Tank): Epsom Salt: 0.15 g/L pH: natural (~7.4 tap water) No additional nutrients this week BioTabs are still releasing evenly, and the substrate moisture is stable throughout. No runoff, no salt buildup, and excellent substrate texture everything is in biological balance. 💡 Environment Temp: 25 °C RH: 68 % PPFD: ~550 µmol/m²/s (Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO @ 50 %) Cycle: 18/6 VPD: ~1.0 kPa The light intensity was maintained at 550 µmol/m²/s to avoid tip stress. The canopy is now even, lush, and vibrant all leaves showing healthy turgor and consistent growth rhythm. 🌿 Observations After the LST and defoliation, the plants bounced back within 24 hours. The stems are thickening rapidly, showing perfect nutrient flow. The canopy is now spreading evenly across the entire tent, ready for the SCROG net next week. Each plant is building a strong, wide frame that will easily support multiple main colas after the flip. 🔜 Next Steps Continue gentle LST adjustments over the next few days. Install the SCROG net at the end of Week 5 / start of Week 6. Maintain the same Epsom-only tank mix until the flip. Prepare for light defoliation and canopy shaping before 12/12 transition. 🌟 Summary Week 5 was a major turning point structure, airflow, and root uptake are all dialed in. The plants are healthy, symmetrical, and ready for the SCROG and the stretch ahead. Strong training week calm growth, perfect recovery, and no signs of stress 💪🌿

DankieDoodle 📘 DankieDoodle | Vegetative Week 6 – The Net Fills Up 🌿 The girls have officially entered their last week of vegetative growth, and everything is looking dialed in and balanced. After the structural training and cleanup from Week 5, this week was focused on canopy management and SCROG work. All three — Pure Runtz (T.H.Seeds), Strawberry Poprocks (Anesia Seeds), and Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds) — have recovered perfectly after the last LST and defoliation. Their structure is strong, branches are thick, and the canopy is spreading beautifully across the net. 🌱 Training & Canopy Progress At the beginning of the week (Day 3), the SCROG net was installed, and the tops were gently guided into the first layer. Each branch was tucked and trained horizontally to encourage an even canopy and promote maximum light exposure to all bud sites. After that, the plants were left to grow naturally, adjusting themselves upward through the screen. Daily small adjustments helped the tops find their place, and by the end of the week the net is already about 70% filled — exactly the timing planned before switching to flower. The lower sections are nicely cleaned and airflow is excellent beneath the canopy. The plants are showing a perfect pre-flip posture: flat, healthy, and balanced. 💧 Autopot / Feeding The Autopot system continues to run flawlessly. Water uptake remains consistent, around 10L every 24–36 hours, showing excellent root zone activity. Tank mix (Week 6): Epsom Salt 0.15 g/L pH natural (~7.3 tap water) No additional feeding — the BioTabs are still active, and the substrate remains biologically balanced. The moisture level across the pots is even, with no dry or oversaturated zones. Roots are working in perfect sync with the system. 💡 Environment Temp: 25 °C RH: 65–68 % PPFD: ~550 µmol/m²/s (Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO @ 50 %) Cycle: 18/6 VPD: ~1.0 kPa Everything in the tent is stable, with strong air circulation under and above the canopy. Leaves are showing a deep, vibrant green — no signs of deficiency or stress. 🌿 Observations Canopy height and density are uniform across all plants. New tops are healthy and stacking tightly, ideal for transitioning into flower. The structure below the net is clean and open, ensuring energy is focused on top growth. By the end of the week, all plants are filling their space evenly and are fully ready for the 12/12 flip. 🌟 Summary Week 6 marked the final stage of vegetative shaping. The SCROG net is filling up beautifully, the root zone is thriving, and the plants are showing perfect pre-flower energy. Next week, the lights will switch to 12/12 to start the flowering stretch — everything is ready for the transition ahead 🌸✨

DankieDoodle Week 7 – Day 1 | Final Veg Day & Flip to Flower 🌸 The last day of veg marks the perfect time to switch to flower. All three girls – Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds), Zombie Bride (Ripper Seeds), and Runtz Mintz (T.H.Seeds) – have developed strong and healthy structures with thick stems and symmetrical canopies. The SCROG net is now around 85–90% filled, and the plants are showing perfect balance between growth and stability. Over the past few days, I removed a few large fan leaves that were shading the lower growth and cleaned up the lower 10–15 cm of each plant for better airflow and energy distribution. They’ve responded perfectly and are now ready for the 12/12 transition. 💧 Water (Autopot Tank): Epsom Salt – 0.15 g/L pH natural (7.4 tap water) The Autopot system is running smoothly, with steady uptake and ideal substrate moisture. 💡 Environment: Temp: 25.5 °C RH: 68 % VPD: ~0.95 kPa PPFD: ~550 µmol/m²/s (Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO @ 60%) Cycle: 18/6 → switching to 12/12 today Everything looks balanced and full of energy as the girls move into their flowering phase. The canopy is even, the color is rich, and airflow is strong beneath the leaves. From now on, the focus shifts to stretch management and canopy control under the net.

DankieDoodle Week 8 – Day 3 | Week 2 Flower 🌸 (Stretch & Structure Phase) The girls are now in their second week of flower, and the transition from veg is complete. All three ladies Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds), Zombie Bride (Ripper Seeds), and Runtz Mintz (T.H.Seeds) have stretched beautifully and developed strong, upright structures. The SCROG net is now fully filled and evenly tensioned, creating a dense but well-ventilated canopy. This week, I mainly let them grow naturally to observe their stretch behavior and flower set. Each cultivar expresses its own rhythm, but all are showing early pistil formation and vibrant growth. The canopy height has increased by around 25–30 %, and internodes are stacking tightly with no excessive elongation a great indicator of ideal light intensity and balanced VPD. I performed a light defoliation, removing a few larger fan leaves that were shading bud sites or restricting airflow beneath the canopy. The plants responded calmly, with no visible stress leaves remain turgid and rich green, and petiole angles indicate healthy transpiration. 💧 Water (Autopot Tank): Epsom Salt – 0.15 g/L pH natural (7.4 tap water) The Autopot system continues to perform flawlessly. Moisture levels remain stable, root zone activity is high, and microbial life is clearly thriving. Uptake is steady, with no salt crusts or nutrient imbalance visible on leaf surfaces. 💡 Environment: Temp: 25.0 °C RH: 62 % VPD: ~1.05 kPa PPFD: ~600 µmol/m²/s (Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO @ 70 %) Cycle: 12/12 Everything feels balanced and vigorous the girls are in their rhythm. The stretch is slowing down now, signaling the onset of full floral initiation. From next week on, the focus shifts toward bud development and canopy refinement under stable environmental control. The energy in the tent is perfect lush, uniform, and full of life. 🌿✨

DankieDoodle 🌺 Week 9 – Day 1 | Week 3 Flower (Pre-Bloom Maturation) The third week of flower begins, and the garden looks powerful dense, structured, and completely balanced under the SCROG. The stretch phase has almost finished, and all three cultivars – Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds), Zombie Bride (Ripper Seeds), and Runtz Mintz (T.H.Seeds) – are now fully locked into bloom mode, showing early bud stacking and strong pistil development across the canopy. Over the past week, I’ve mainly let them grow freely to observe their natural flower set and node behavior. The SCROG net is now completely filled, giving perfect lateral support and even light distribution to every top. Vertical growth is slowing down, and internodes are tightening a clear indication that the hormonal shift toward full flower production is in progress. Only light leaf maintenance was performed this week removing a few fan leaves shading key bud sites and improving airflow below the net. No heavy defoliation yet, as the plants are extremely vigorous and balanced. The main lollipopping and structured defoliation is planned for the end of this week / start of Week 4, right before introducing the first PK Booster Compost Tea to redirect full energy into upper cola development. The overall leaf tone remains deep and vibrant green, with zero signs of stress, deficiency, or nutrient imbalance. The synergy between BioTabs biology, balanced substrate mix, and the Autopot bottom-feeding system is clearly visible – roots are thriving, leaves are praying, and transpiration is perfectly matched to uptake. 💧 Water (Autopot Tank) Tap Water (pH 7.4, natural) Epsom Salt – 0.15 g/L (for Mg balance) Moisture remains stable and evenly distributed thanks to the Autopot valves, creating an ideal low-stress hydration curve. Each cultivar is responding identically, showing perfect consistency in turgor and growth tempo. 💡 Environment Temp: 24.8 °C RH: 58 % VPD: ~1.15 kPa PPFD: ~650 µmol/m²/s (Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO @ 75 %) Light cycle: 12/12 Everything is moving in perfect rhythm 🌿 The canopy is lush, vibrant, and filled with early flower clusters that are beginning to take shape. This week focuses purely on stabilizing growth and monitoring bud development, allowing the plants to complete their hormonal transition. Next week (Week 4), a controlled defoliation + lollipopping session will open the structure, followed by the first BioTabs PK Booster Compost Tea application the moment when bloom mass will start to build up rapidly. The tent feels perfectly balanced: bright, fresh, and full of steady, confident growth energy. ✨

DankieDoodle 🌸 Week 10 – Day 1 | Flower Week 4 (Post-Defoliation & PK Activation) A major structural milestone this week – the canopy has been fully cleaned, shaped, and opened for optimal airflow and light penetration. The stretch phase is officially over, and all three cultivars Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds), Zombie Bride (Ripper Seeds), and Runtz Mintz (T.H.Seeds) have transitioned beautifully into the early bulking phase. Over the past few days, I performed a complete lower defoliation and lollipopping session, removing shaded growth beneath the SCROG net and opening up the structure for clean vertical airflow. The result is a perfectly balanced canopy with strong, symmetrical tops, each receiving even light distribution from edge to edge. The plants handled the pruning extremely well no stress signs, no drooping, and leaf posture recovered within hours. The combination of BioTabs soil biology + Autopot moisture stability is clearly keeping root activity high and stress response minimal. 💧 Water (Autopot Tank) Tap Water (pH 7.4, natural) Epsom Salt – 0.15 g/L Autopot system remains stable with steady uptake and uniform hydration through all three pots. Moisture balance and oxygenation are ideal for this stage. 🍔Feeding (Top Application) This week marks the first introduction of the BioTabs PK Booster Compost Tea — brewed for 24 hours and applied directly to the substrate surface (approx. 300 ml per pot). This microbial-rich booster adds an organic source of phosphorus and potassium, supporting early bud bulking and microbial nutrient cycling at the root zone. 💡 Environment Temp: 24.6 °C RH: 53 % VPD: ~1.25 kPa PPFD: ~750 µmol/m²/s (Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO @ 85 %) Light cycle: 12/12 The lighting has been slightly increased this week to match the transition into heavier flowering metabolism, ensuring the plants receive sufficient DLI after defoliation. 🍃 Canopy & Growth Notes Clear airflow under the canopy Bud sites are stacking tighter and beginning to build density Color remains rich green with no deficiencies visible Stem and leaf turgor are excellent, showing high metabolic activity The garden feels clean, balanced, and vibrant after the defoliation every cola is now exposed, and the structure is optimized for light and airflow efficiency. From this point forward, the focus shifts toward bud swelling, trichome development, and maintaining stable environmental parameters. The synergy between BioTabs organics and the Autopot system continues to deliver textbook performance 🌿✨

DankieDoodle 🌸 DankieDoodle | Flower – Week 11 Week 11 marks a very calm and controlled phase of the run. The plants are now fully settled into late flower, with bud development clearly shifting from structural growth to density, resin production, and maturation. All three cultivars continue to look balanced and healthy. Buds are swelling steadily, stacking nicely along the branches, and resin coverage is increasing day by day. Trichome development is becoming more noticeable on the sugar leaves, and aromas are starting to deepen. After the PK Booster and the previous defoliation work, the plants have fully recovered. Leaf posture is stable, no signs of stress, and the canopy remains even under the SCROG net. No further training or defoliation was done this week to avoid unnecessary stress and to let the plants focus entirely on flower production. 💧 Watering: Autopot system running smoothly Water only in the reservoir Epsom Salt 0.15 g/L pH natural (7.4 tap water) Moisture uptake is steady and consistent, confirming that the root zone is healthy and fully active. 💡 Environment: Temp (lights on): ~24–25 °C Temp (lights off): ~20–21 °C RH: ~55–58 % VPD: ~1.1–1.2 kPa PPFD: ~750–850 µmol/m²/s Cycle: 12/12 The environment remains very stable, supporting steady flower bulking without pushing the plants too hard. No signs of light stress or nutrient imbalance are visible. 🌿 Notes: This week was all about letting the plants do their thing. No interventions, no adjustments just consistency. The focus now is on maintaining stable conditions, supporting resin production, and preparing for the final flowering phase. Overall, the tent feels calm, balanced, and healthy exactly what you want going into the later stages of bloom.

DankieDoodle DankieDoodle 🌸 Flower Week 6 (Mid Bulk Phase) A clear transition week the stretch is fully finished and all three cultivars have entered peak flower stacking. Bud structure is tightening noticeably, resin production has accelerated, and color expression is beginning to intensify on select phenotypes. The canopy remains evenly distributed across the SCROG net, with strong vertical tops and consistent light penetration throughout the tent. Over the past days, no further defoliation was performed only minor leaf tucking to maintain airflow and light exposure. Plant response remains stable with no stress indicators. The garden has officially entered the high-demand bulking window. 💧 Water (Autopot Tank) Tap Water (pH ~7.4 natural) Epsom Salt – low maintenance dose (if required) Autopot uptake remains consistent across all pots.
