Week 6 - Transition to Flower (First Bloom Week) The Donutz squad has officially entered the bloom phase, kicking off the first week of flower in style. The upgrade to 7L pots has gone smoothly, and the plants are thriving in their new space. Monday marked the start of the flowering cycle, and everything is set up for an efficient and productive Sea of Green. Setup Adjustments: Canopy Leveling: The taller plants in the front row are left as-is, while the shorter ones in the back have been placed on top of the empty 3.7L pots. This ensures an even canopy for maximum light distribution. Defoliation: Everything under the net that wouldn’t develop into usable bud — based on past experience — has been trimmed away. The focus is now entirely on the top canopy and cola production. Nutrients & Care: Flowering Nutrients: Greenhouse Feeding Bloom is in play, with 30g applied per 7L pot (following the recommended 3-5g per liter). This should carry the plants through the stretch phase and provide a strong start for flower development. Watering: Still cruising with reverse osmosis (RO) water, keeping things clean and steady. Light Intensity: Slowly ramping up the light week by week to avoid shocking the plants, aiming for full intensity once they’ve settled into the flowering phase. Plans for the Stretch & Beyond: A second net is ready to go for after the stretch, ensuring the canopy remains supported and those fat nugs don’t collapse under their own weight. Continued monitoring of canopy height and plant health as they shift their energy into flowering. Observations: The Donutz are responding well to the flowering transition, with no visible stress. The even canopy and clean lollipop structure are setting the stage for optimal bud production. Everything is lining up perfectly for a strong flowering run. The Donutz are about to shine, and the tent is poised to deliver a heavy, uniform harvest. The Florida Gang energy is real — time to watch the nugs stack!

Not bad not bad, by the looks of it she'll be a fatty but i just hope that she'll be ready at the same time as the others. What i want to know is how the bbc can predict when i want my harvest but can't predict when my fucking landlady will break in and faff about it my grow room, long story short 46 makes me 👺 anyways, boucing back from a scare nevermind mind her 46 is my focus lol oh my the things we do... enjoy ! 🚀 Induced resin production by dropping the lightschedule to 10/14 almost immediate effects were smelt, loud and clear : candy shop goodness ! this one is gonna be a sweet one ! 👊

@twenty20mendocino Ateam R&D Update! Let’s Go!! What another great week it’s been ! Today is day 39 for all but the 2 Queen of Diamonds an 2 VSOPs got trimmed up a tied down for nice training ! Really opened them up a lot so we get all them heads hit, just wait to see how bushy these girls get, let’s get em big! Your not gonna want to miss next week’s update an see how these girls bounce back! Hope y’all enjoy Peace love and positive vibes to all y’all Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨🤙🏻

Day 77 - Was her last day. To be truthful she wasn't 100% ready going on the trichomes but needs must and the other photoperiod girls need their space now. It's crazy how my own personal ability has changed over the years. Blackberry is a strain I've grown every 12 months roughly, GrowDiaries is a fab place to track your learning. Looking back through my old grows I must have been mad to think they were ready to harvest! Way too early! Maybe that's the biggest thing I've learned - patience. Don't be too eager to chop, there is a lot to be gained extending by 2 or 3 weeks... Anyway, back to this girl. She has been chopped and trimmed. Have a look thru the pics, if you see a piece of black tape on the stem the apex bud on that branch was BACKBUILT. I have to say the technique REALLY does work. Those buds look fatter and denser than the others that have been left natural. It seems effective to be done about halfway through flowering, but no later than 3/4 of the way. FINAL UPDATE: So after 2 weeks in the drying net she weighed out to 87.81g. Not a great deal but she was compromised by the photoperiod plants she shared the tent with. It wasn't the full purple phenotype like I had twice before but still she looks pretty.

Week 1 of flower in the books and they’re all stretching nicely. Root mass is in good shape and starting to conform to the Rez walls so it’s gett’n tangled in there. We’ll move over to full bloom nutes in the coming week and hopefully cotton balls within the next 2. Alls good for now.

Too much N is observed and also some heat as there is an heatwave again and inside the tent it was around 31 c°, i only used half dosis of iguana grow in a light mix and it still seems to be too much, the ppm was around 380 so not sure if its just heat stress, but i think they will be fine, i will just only give water the next week and apply some slow absorbing nutrients on the top of the soil, something like guanokalong or biobloom, im sure they will be fine 😁

Already showing some flower buds. It's developing well. Very nice

I performed the first top to the plant. I will do a main lining a bit modified by keeping 2 sets instead of just 1. The plant after half a day from being topped started growing as hell!! I will probably transplant it in a few days. And that's what I did by the end of the week. The pot had too big holse compered to the perlite I bought so I had to smallet 'em down with some tape. I also topped the plant again. Wird three-end set came out of the topping but eveything staying on the plant is quite normal

11.05.24 Es scheint, dass die Thripsbehandlung mit BAC Vital erfolgreich war - es wurden keine Schädlinge mehr beobachtet. Durch mehrmaliges Besprühen konnte ich die Luftfeuchtigkeit etwas erhöhen. Heute wurden die Pflanzen in 2-Liter-Töpfe umgetopft, in denen sie nun weiter wachsen können, bis sie schließlich in die 30-Liter-Töpfe kommen. Ich habe ihnen einen kräftigen Schluck Wasser mit Terra Aquatica Root Booster, Terra Aquatica Seaweed und Glückspilze Mykorrhiza Soluble gegeben. 12.05.24 Die Pflanzen haben das Umpflanzen gut überstanden und zeigen keine Stressreaktionen. Die Blätter stehen prall gegen die Sonne. 13.05.24 Die Kleinen zeigen bereits wieder starkes Wachstum, daher habe ich sie heute mit der Pinzette getoppt. Ich denke, sie werden in den nächsten 3 Tagen den Stress abbauen und dann beginnen, die unteren Triebe nach oben zu entwickeln. Da wir eine Fläche von 120x120 mit geschlossenem Kronendach erreichen wollen, ist es wichtig, dass die Pflanzen frühzeitig in die Breite wachsen. 16.05.24 Die Pflanzen zeigen generell ein gutes Allgemeinwachstum, obwohl die Umgebungsbedingungen nicht ideal sind. Temperatur und Luftfeuchte sind zu hoch, woran ich arbeite, aber die aktuellen Außentemperaturen erschweren das.

Week 8 Flower My favourite part; Flush flush flusshhhhh 🚽🌊💦 This is the time where you will see the most swelling and ripening of the buds, and also it's winter colours in its leaves and possibly even flowers (strain dependent) as the plant cannibalizes itself of all of its stored nutrients. Many strains will fade into a bright yellow, but a lot of strains can turn to many stunning colours such as purple, orange, red or even black! Purpling can also occur on your flowers throughout flush, which only adds to it's bag appeal! I believe it's extremely important to include a flush period at the end of each cycle. I don't necessarily mean you have to flush copious amounts of water through them like I do, but the end goal is to have a cannibalised plant before harvesting, regardless of your system, methods or medium. Having a proper flush is what gives you the clean burning, smooth smoke in the end. If many nutrients are left in the flowers, it can create a hard black ash that can spark as you toke 💥😷 and would be quite toxic for you to smoke. I start by pouring just enough water through the pot to get a decent run off in the catch tray below. I then take a note of the ppm/EC and pH of that run off to see how she's doing, and then adjust the pH of the rest of the water to be flushed if required. This girl's run off was a little high, at approx 6.2-6.5pH so I adjusted the rest of the flush water to around 5.5-5.6pH. This should bring it back down a bit more, although it doesn't really matter so much later in flush as she's only feeding on herself anyway, not what is in her pot. Once adjusted, I pour around 30ltr through her pot to reduce the salt contents in the coco. I then take another reading of her last bit of run off in the catch tray and make a note. I find that flushing a large amount of water through the coco speeds up the process because it has taken away many more nutrients from the coco than with not doing so. This gives the plant no choice but to instantly start to cannabilize on the only nutrients available; it's own. Once they're fading fast I'll simply feed them enough for a decent run off as I know there's nothing left in the coco. The amount of buds on this girl is absolutely insane! She's a monster! She's swelling up but still getting taller, with her tallest cola almost touching the reflector now. I'm definitely glad I supported her! I'm going for a 3+ week flush as I can't take her any further with plants in veg waiting for spaces, so hopefully she'll ripen up! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🦊

This plant is just Grrreat!! She’s a hungry girl though. Hard to keep up with her appetite. She is really smelling quite wonderful at this point. Very citrusy and sweet!! 😎

Hi everyone Today day 30 and I stop feeding with silica and I take co2 bag off too due make high humidity also I reduced bio grow from 3ml to 1ml for this week next week i will stop bio grow till harvest And I done aggressive defoliation on bottom almost take half leafs down Update day 39 I done another defoliation and some lst to keep them separate from each other guys the orange sherbat is thirsty strain and seems she love nutrients she drank twice a day and each time 1.5L nutrients whitch is .5 calmag 2ml heaven 2ml activera 2ml alg amic 2ml bloom 1ml top max Because they are in small pot so I don't wanna give lots off water so I prefer to feed them twice a day

Day 29 29/07/24 Monday Nice feeding today with De-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Gave her 300 ml and she had a small run off. Getting chunky in the stem now 💪💚 Day 31 31/07/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform 💪💚 Day 32 01/08/24 Thursday Another feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6, there now taking 300ml every evening. Day 35 04/08/24 Sunday END OF WEEK 😁 De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with Plagron products. 300ml each. Had a issue with leaf invaders this week, I have treated and am checking every 48 hrs so far seems ok and not progressive. All plants look great, very healthy, one of the Overdose is way behind and due to space maybe culled at flower I'll see how she gets on.

Week 2. Just the normal stretch. Nothing eventful. After this week, I'll be giving random weekly updates due to my busy schedule.

goodday growbrothers and sistren Purple is doing great!😎👍 I was feelin a bit bold this week so i have just topped her!!...(13.06) not the normal routine, i usually do that in an earlier phase (for autos especially) but i was defoliating a bit (she has HUGE indica leaves.. so awesome) and thought , what would happen if i just topped her right now?? so i did.. and i did some very light LST too, so all the flowers get enough light😇 Ladybugs are still cleaning her but now the weather is better aprhids are not at large anymore.. Ladybugs are just there now to have some red in the plants..😆👌 Cant wait till she turns purple..👌 Happy growing for all✊ KISS! growtechnique: KeepItSimple, Stupid!

Day 70, end of week 10, about 6 weeks into flower for the OG Kush, and everything goes smoothly ✌️🏽😊 The plant keep putting on some weight and size, and starting to give signs that she's about to finish! 😋 Trichomes seem mostly cloudy, although there are some clear as well, i have a feeling I'll start see amber in the next week... So tomorrow I'll decide if its time to start flushing or not. For me deciding when to start flushing always seems like the hardest choice to make during the growth cycle 😅😂 Anyway this monster plant looks great! buds are cover in resin all over, and the weight start to feel good. This phenotype is very different then a classic OG Kush when it comes to the bud appeal, as fast-buds describe the buds as rock hard (like a classic kush should be), The buds on this phenotype are more open in structure....🤷🏽 They still looks amazingly frosty and delicious though 😋 So, next week, harvest or not, we shall see😎✌️🏽🌱

one more week up we go and Defoliation time as come and i want to share with you a technique that I've found to be really helpful for improving the quality and yield of my plants: defoliation. Now, I know that the idea of removing some of your plant's leaves might sound a bit counterintuitive or even scary, but hear me out. Defoliation can actually be a wonderful way to show your plants some love and help them reach their full potential. One of the main benefits of defoliation is that it can improve the airflow and light penetration throughout your plant. By removing some of the larger fan leaves that can block light and air circulation, you can ensure that your plant is getting all the nutrients and energy it needs to thrive. Plus, defoliation can help your plant produce bigger and denser buds. By redirecting its energy towards bud production instead of leaf growth, you can achieve a more bountiful harvest with higher-quality buds that are rich in cannabinoids and terpenes. And, as an added bonus, defoliation can even help to prevent the growth of harmful pathogens like mold, which can thrive in warm, humid environments. By increasing air circulation through your plant, defoliation can help to reduce the humidity levels in your grow space and keep your plants healthy and happy. So, if you're looking for a way to give your Girls some extra love and attention, I highly recommend trying out defoliation. With a gentle touch and some careful pruning, you can help your plants reach their full potential and enjoy a bountiful harvest of beautiful, high-quality buds. Oh, and she loved the leaves falling off, haha! She took it in stride, as if it were no big deal. Just love how this one meditates with me all the time , Big Namaste to her and to the creators of this madame Le Freak As always thank you all for stopping by , for the love and for it all, i fell blessed to have you all with me for one more love journey, and a different one form the rest i did so far <3 <3 <3 Thank you Thank you Thank you , you guys are great and have been amazing , thank you for everything <3<3<3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #dogdoctorofficial #growerslove
 With true love comes happiness , Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3

All photos taken day 25 of flower. Started to develop a nice aroma now, I’ll have a little de leaf in a day or two to help lower humidity and uncover some flower sites. Can’t wait for it to warm up so I can switch my heaters off! ✌️
