Flowering week 5 and we are approaching the finish line. Lady Runtz seems to be developing well, the leaves are still very nice and green. I am sure we will be ready in time for 05/31/25.

Hey people this is my week 5 update on my grow I'm new to all of this and happy enough to take any and all comments and feed back let's learn and grow together Stay safe👊take care and stay stoned🍁

Hey everyone 😃. No training was applied this week. I'll do that in the coming week. It was poured twice with 1 liter this week. The tent was cleaned and the humidifier was refilled every day. The ambient values ​​are in the optimal range and the setup has been checked 👍. I wish you a lot of fun with the update. Stay healthy and let it grow 👍🍀🙏🏻 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/red-mandarine-f1-fast-version/ Type: Red Mandarine F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Red Poison Auto®️ (SWS39) X Tangie (California Orange x Hybrid Skunk) 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 5.5 - 5.8 .

The roots are still looking great. I cleared the old water out and only put 2 gallons in and not the 4.5 I was putting in previous weeks. Starting to get a weak smell from the plant.

Donnerstag Woche 5 Bisschen Nährstoffe könnten fehlen könnten aber auch die Wurzeln gewesen sein! Waren heute früh zum Teil trocken! Sagte noch.... Aufpassen! Hab es wie zuvor gemacht und unterhalb alles entfernt damit sie die Energie besser nutzen kann, weiß nicht ob das fiming geklappt hat aber die Haze hab ich gespreizt und nochmal gescrogt beidseitig! Auch wieder Bio bizz light und Canna Professional 50/50 und 5 ml rhizotonic! Lampe ist bei 10 cm internodien auch kurz ziehen! Wenn es klappt! Wasser hab ich raus laufen lassen um einen Brand zu verhindern auch Ph neutral also 5,5 Die Alien schaut ganz gut aus außer das sie meines Erachtens etwas zu hellgrün ist! Wachsen tut sie ohne Probleme! Ich dumm Dusel hab noch gesagt.... Ey eigentlich Klasse Sache mit den Wurzeln kannst die direkt düngen! Musst nur die Wurzeln feucht halten!! Dünger haben sie keinen bekommen allerdings ab ich beim Töpfen drauf geachtet das Wurzelwerk nicht zu beschädigen also Topf drücken und langsam seitlich raus Ziehen! Dann sind die Steine auch kein Problem... Normalerweise sind sie eingewachsen! An den Blättern sieht man es ich hoffe nicht das ich sie geschrottet habe! Wurzeln waren über Nacht ausgetrocknet zumindest fast alles was draußen war! Trotz nach Wässern! Topfen haben beide gut überstanden allerdings macht mir die Haze sorgen! Schauen wir die nächsten Tage!! Wachsen alle schön weiter und die Technik hat meines Achten nach auch geklappt! Abstand liegt bei 5 und bei 10 cm Ich hab da auch mal einen Trick gehört bezüglich der Wurzeln, Blütezeit und zusätzliche Produktion aber wann man es macht und außerdem ist es ein sehr großes Risiko! Gleich zu setzen mit dem spalten des Stammes!! Man reißt einen Teil der Wurzeln ab um die Produktion zusätzlich anzukurbeln aber reißt du zu viel ab... Dann hasst du dich selber weil du die Pflanze damit umgebracht hast! Rein theoretisch müsste das ja Reichen wenn du die Pflanze etwas trocknen lässt und dann anheben tust, durch die Steine reißt es auch bedingt!! Nur wann du das machen sollst kann ich nicht genau sagen!! Egal... Kommt Zeit kommt Rat!!! Erst mal auf das Wesentliche beschränken verfeinern kann man immernoch!! Und bei 3 pflanzen, will ich kein Risiko eingehen!! Nicht unbedingt!! Wenn man einmal nicht aufpasst macht sich gleich der Hauswächter auf zur vesite! Typisch Schlange!!! Lass bloß die Pflanzen in Ruhe!! Dienstag Schauen beide wieder gut aus! Nach dem sie Eisen bekommen hat kann man auch sehen das die Verbrennungen aufgehört haben und sie wieder Farbe bekommen hat. Die Alien wuchert wie Unkraut!! Aber das Fimen hat nicht geklappt.... Egal! Anderes Mal! Dachte mir, nachdem er auch schon im grow Room präsent war, zeig ich mal sein Terrarium! Damit auch der letzte Tierfreunde nicht sagen kann es wäre Tierquälerei! Nur er hat das Privileg die obere Etage in Anspruch nehmen zu können, denn die Türen stehen offen!! Und er darf!!!

Howdy folks 🙌, been a good week for them, she is gaining weight 😍 Major development in its smell, she smells a lot more citrusy initially with sweet undertones. MUCH HAPPY 😋 She has been a pleasure to deal with and can't wait for her second run already 😄 Her clone is over a month old now and is doing very well. Green Gelatos are over due a flip switch but I'll wait till this round is finished. Will stop the Pk 13/14 now and A+B too. That's it for this week. Stay safe, cyall later 🙏

We didnt feel like waiting another 2-3 weeks for the next tent to clear so we setup a temporary 18hr space for moms and clones, both tents are officially 12hrs now (we just ordered a 3rd tent)..the Bangers have been in flower for 2 days now and they were definitely ready, they've already grown a few inches since Wednesday...we started bloom nutrients last week and cut grow solution this week..they couldn't look happier atm..I think we're in for a fantastic yield (i just hope we don't outgrow the space )..we also have 10 Solo cups tucked behind these of our own cross all flowering at once... We intend to lower the MarsHydro around week 3 of flower...we only grabbed 1 cutting of the Bangers so I'm REALLY hoping it takes because having mom of this wouldn't suck.. thanks for dropping by and reading my novel if you chose to do so lol, happy harvests friends!! ❤️💡🌱😽💨 ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total!)

Day 1 week 2 Day 2 week 2 Day 3 week 2

Belle odeur les feuilles pointent vers le bas normal faut que je l’arrose ;-)

Hello fellow growers, I harvested my plant on Day 68 of the flowering stage. The buds are now hung up and drying in an environment with a relative humidity (RH) of 55-60% and temperatures ranging from 18°C to 21°C, I've set up two fans to keep the air moving gently around the drying space. Today marks Day 6 of drying, and I'm aiming for a nice, slow dry to preserve the quality of the buds, followed by a dry trim. Reflecting on this grow, I can see areas where I could have improved, but considering it's my first time, I believe I've done a commendable job. There are quite a few larfy buds underneath, but the top buds, which were closest to the light, turned out great. I initially thought I had nailed the training techniques, but as soon as I flipped her into the flowering stage, she got out of control. This experience has taught me the importance of being even more disciplined with my training methods in future grows. Overall, I'm thrilled with the outcome and have learned valuable lessons for my next run. Can't wait to see how these buds turn out after curing! Wish me luck as I move into the final stages of this journey. Let's Grow!

Its going very well so far

HighCloudz is showing her first buds 👌 She's still stretching but I have enough vertical space left in the Gtools to keep the Sanlight at a safe distance. I do want to prevent lightburn/stress this round. All in all it looks like my plan to give the smaller and lower branches time to reach the ScrOG net is working. Some of the newer branches are a bit thin, but they have more than enough time to strengthen up before the bigger buds start to grow. The smaller HighCloudz in the cups are doing remarkably well. Even with this limited space they look healthy and show no signs of deficiencies. 🌿🌿🌿 Mid-week update After checking on my HighCloudz ladies this morning I thought I saw a few leafs with bite marks. It's nothing too serious just yet but I ordered some natural predators (Stratiolaelaps scimitus) to keep the bugs in check. The plants are stretching but not so much as last week. If all goes well there will be enough space left in the GTools to prevent lightburn. On a totally unrelated but positive note I'm happy to say I finally convinced my 80 year old mom to try Cannabis for the first time. She really enjoyed it and it helped with her back pain. It's just great to be able to share my home grown weed with my old folks. I've just crossed another item off my bucket list 😎

Sooo I added a scrog net a few days ago to get the branches more outward beacuse they were growing way to bushy. Seems to be a good solution! Did a nother update for this week because of the trichome beauty that they have. They both smell really really fruity and somewhat gassy, if you ever grew a Cherry Cola from FastBuds and you loved the smell then this strain is specially for you. The smell reminds me so hard of the Cherry Cola and I fcking love it

I’m very impressed with my first clone attempt doing good so far I will have to start some type of training not sure which way to go I will appreciate any Suggestions thanks

We are day 21 of flower. Looks like we’re getting towards the end of stretch I will be defoliating this evening more. I also released more predator, mites, two different kinds, and minute pirate bugs to finally deal with the thrips! I also will be adding another trellis net for my Nana glue.

🌸 Lava Cake – Week 7 (3rd Week Flower) | Blossoms Rising The third week of flower has arrived, and our Lava Cakes are stepping fully into bloom. Both girls are looking beautiful, symmetrical, and strong, with thick white pistils reaching out and leaves still praying to the light. Their similarity in structure makes this run feel almost like growing twins, each reflecting the same genetics, each glowing with energy. ⸻ 🔙 Looking Back – The Road Here From seeds sprouting in soft cups → to vigorous veg under Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs → to the careful transplant and expansion in the 8x8 ecosystem, every stage has been about setting a solid foundation. • Feeding: Aptus core line + Plagron boosters • Training: Gentle guiding, letting them branch freely • Environment: Tuned by the TrolMaster brain, with sensors guiding irrigation and VPD All of this has brought us here: lush plants in early bloom, no signs of stress, and a canopy built for flower stacking. ⸻ 🍽️ Current Recipe – Staying Steady This week, we keep the same feed — consistency is key as the flowers set. Per L Water: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.5 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml With the Aptus All-in-One Liquid still paused, the soil’s embedded nutrition + pellets are helping balance things out while these bloom boosters do the heavy lifting. ⸻ 🌡️ Room & Rhythm • Temps: ~31–34°C (still awaiting the AC unit for stabilization) • Humidity: ~60%, bringing VPD near 1.9 kPa • Watering: Daily — plants are drinking heavily, irrigated once substrate moisture falls near 19–20% • Monitoring: TrolMaster WCS substrate sensor + Tent-X keep us informed on EC, moisture, and temps directly in-soil Even with warm conditions, the Lava Cakes are thriving, drinking more, praying more, and pushing out flowers with confidence. ⸻ 🌸 Week 3 Flower – What We See • White Hairs: Thick, long, and vibrant, covering the tops like cotton clouds. • Flower Formation: Calyxes stacking, pistils reaching — no signs of hesitation. • Leaf Posture: Still upright, showing photosynthesis and metabolism are strong. • Uniformity: Both plants showing the same pace and morphology, a sign of stable genetics and consistent environment. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – What to Expect / Not to Expect ✅ Expect: • Rapid stacking in the next 2 weeks — buds will start to swell noticeably. • Aroma development — sweet Lava Cake terpenes may start teasing the air soon. • Nutrient demands rising steadily as flowers form. ❌ Not to expect: • Big trichome coverage just yet — resin production typically comes later. • A slowdown — stretch is nearly over, but flower development is just beginning. ⸻ ✨ Closing Thoughts The Lava Cakes are shining this week. Both are aligned in their growth, both are drinking and feeding with rhythm, and both are showing that the careful setup, from lights to irrigation to sensors, is paying off. Week 3 of flower is a promise — not yet the harvest, but the first real glimpse of what’s coming. Thick pistils today, heavy buds tomorrow. With consistency in feeding, environment, and care, these girls are well on their way to becoming the stars of the room. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.
