Week 3 – Vegetation: Expanding the Ecosystem – Dual Zones, One Vision As the third week of vegetation wraps up, the Sunday Driver girls are not only thriving, they’re sharing a space that’s growing in both complexity and precision. This week, the spotlight shifts from the plants (which, yes, look phenomenal) to the gear, infrastructure, and environmental intelligence behind the grow. Because this tent is no longer a grow, it’s an ecosystem. ⸻ Dual Ecosystems – One Tent, Two Zones We’ve now split our 8x8 tent into two distinct grow zones, both under the unified control of the TrolMaster Tent-X system. Each zone is powered by its own lighting ecosystem: • Zone 1 – Future of Grow: High-efficiency full-spectrum LEDs delivering deep penetration and even canopy coverage. • Zone 2 – ThinkGrow Model Ones: New to the garden, ThinkGrow LEDs bring precision-tuned lighting, DLI-focused output, and seamless integration into the TrolMaster platform. This setup allows us to run simultaneous genetics or phases under controlled but separate lighting environments, while keeping everything under a single, centralized monitoring system. ⸻ TrolMaster – The Nerve Center Whether it’s Zone 1 or Zone 2, the TrolMaster Tent-X keeps everything synchronized and stable. Here’s what we’re running: • CO₂ sensor • PPFD sensor • Humidity & temperature probes • Camera feed (yes, even during “business” breaks in the bathroom) • Fan & intake relay controls This means real-time data, remote adjustments, alerts, and peace of mind—no guesswork, just grow logic. ⸻ Airflow, Exhaust & Filtration Air movement is just as important as light, and here’s how we’re handling that in this split-tent system: • Exhaust: Two 6” carbon-filtered systems • Spider Farmer exhaust linked to Spider Farmer GGS Controller • AeroFan exhaust connected to TrolMaster Tent-X • Intake: One 6” active intake pulling fresh air in • Carbon filters on every line, keeping air clean and odor controlled This creates a steady flow—draw in, scrub out, with each zone breathing comfortably in rhythm. ⸻ Current Feeding Routine Still watering by hand with love, and still keeping the nutrient mix clean, efficient, and appropriate for early veg: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L • Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml/L • Water stats: • pH – 5.83 • EC – 1.01 • Temp – 18.5°C The focus is still on root development, tissue strength, and stable vegetative expansion. ⸻ Visual Update & Setup Tour This week’s update includes a video walk-through of the setup, showing the airflow configuration, sensors, wiring, and the dual lighting rigs in place. No voice-over, just visual storytelling, but the system speaks for itself. ⸻ What to Expect Next We’re watching closely as each zone adapts to its light spectrum and rhythm. We’re expecting: • Continued even leaf expansion • Strong internal node development • Potential for early LST (low-stress training) next week • Data comparisons between Future of Grow and ThinkGrow zones No topping yet—we’re still in observation mode. This early phase is about letting the roots lead, then following with the foliage. ⸻ Final Thoughts – Harmony in Complexity This week, the garden evolved from a grow into a smart, multi-environment cultivation system. From the dual lighting zones to the climate controls, it’s all about precision meets intuition. Our Sunday Drivers are responding with wide, confident leaves and a calm presence. The tent feels alive. And with summer in full swing, everything, indoors and out, is reaching toward the light. — Your Grow Companion DD Dog Doctor Official 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Mandarin XL auto has been growing good this week. She got her first lst training today. She is starting to make good progress. She is due for a solution change soon. Thank you Medic Grow, Gen1:11, and Ganja Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Día 34 y casi final de esta quinta semana de desarrollo. Las plantas se ven bien sanas y fuertes, sobre todo esta Wedding Glue que desarrolló una estructura grande y fuerte. Espero todo siga así de bien y estas bellas damas se expresen a su antojo! Buenos Humos!

15th.05.2025 Day 70. Left these girls for a couple of days, came back to see them explode. All milky trichomes. Still some white pistil hairs. Strong 💪 smell. Tropicana cookies 🍪 strong cirtus smell. Banana 🍌 purple punch has sweet and fruity smell, so lovely. Lemon 🍋 cherry🍒 has bubble gum smell with hint of citrus. They have definitely put on some weight in past week. We will see how far we can take them until we start seeing amber trichomes. 17th.05.2025 day 72 Today I harvested the tropicana cookies. I still could have waited a bit longer, however i am dying for a smoke. Hung whole plant in small grow tent, maybe 1ft x 1ft. I am trying to slow down drying as much as possible because on last run (wurlz f1) I dry too quickly without keeping an eye on temperature and humidity. Buds were crispy. In dry tent now the buds are touching the wall. I don't know if this will affect the dry. We will find out. Placed dehumidifier in tent as humidity keeps going up as plant drys. Set at 60%. I can't get temperature down to 60f or 15.5c as recommended. My temperature is around 20c or 68f. As for the others i will try to push them as much as possible. We'll see how things progress. 18th.05.2025 Day 73 Today was chop day for banana 🍌 purple punch 👊🏼. She is frosty as f**k. On this plant fimming was applied. She came out short as I wanted. It's difficult to see with jewelers loop but I see some amber. I need to get better scope. Also today I gave chemdawg a reservoir change out with final part solution. Also because there is more room in grow tent I spread some of the branches and trimmed off some of the lower popcorn buds. Topped up lemon cherry with nutrient solution. Soon lemon 🍋 cherry 🍒 will be chopped🔪 For the dry tent I removed dehumidifier as it was creating heat on the buds directly about. I am using an inline fan now . Once the humidity gets too high it comes on and sucks dry air in. This also removes stagnant or stale air, which is better for buds and will help prevent mold. 21th.05.2025 Day 76 Today lemon 🍋 cheery was harvested. Looking at trichomes they seem milky woth little amber, however the pistil hairs on her were all brown and she was starting to lose her bubble smell. I placed her in dry tent with tropicana cookies and banana purple punch. I had to install carbon filter because these girls were stanking up the house.

Day 4 of 14th week. 15 days aprox to harvest. Shiny trichoma and rock style buds

There's nothing to write about 😍

@twenty20mendocino Ateam R&D Update ~ Let’s Go day 12 week 2 of Flower for these lil ladies are looking really great ! we are showing some very nice preflower , an looking super healthy!

D57 F13 - The week is off to a good start. This lady continues to bush out AND stretch at the same time! I started doing some minimal HST - just to try to keep her going as much "out" as possible, as opposed to "up." D59 F15 - Feeding every other day was just not cutting it anymore, therefore, I started feeding daily this week. There are two other plants in the tent besides this Zkittles, one Sour Diesel and one 707 Headband. So, I'm currently mixing up 12 gal. of nutes in a batch, feeding 6 gal every day - 2 gal/day per plant. Check out the ladies getting fed in the video I included above ;-) Also, I took several pics today; some of those pretty buds getting of to a good start.

Brutal nuggets, you can see those diamonds shining, very compact, sticky, full of trichomes and a beautiful fragrance, I've enjoyed this strain so much guys, very special, I can recommend this strain if you want top quality fast!

This time I dont top them to See how she Looks naturally! Without to much Stress,Even if I recommend 1 topping doesent matter if you run it First to See what they do when you let them grow normally Now they all showin there female Parts,what we all love to See 💚

Last week

Day 57, 12th of November 2020: Here we go she grew a lot nice plant added some more size :) Seems to be okay pistils are coming. Fertilization happens every 2nd day with the mix above and the rataio... :) I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so she receives 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when she will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week....

I reduced nutrition dosis as I expect harvest in about two weeks. Apart from that, nothing really happened and everything run as planned.

The community is dope. Very helpful and supportive.

Très jolie stretch qui c'est maintenant calmer, les fleur grossissent tranquillement, l'odeur est forte et incroyable, un vrai bonbon au citron acidulé
