Originally I didn’t think I had much to update until I compared the plants photos at 7 days. The ff3’s have definitely responded better to their new home than the neighboring ff2. They are definitely getting a thicker stalk and adding more foliage. I started the week with a light dose of flora flex nutrients which is by weight rather than tea or tablespoon. They call for 1 gram of the v1 & v2 per gallon of water and I opted for 1 for the entire 6 gallons. But with no response I adjusted the ph and added a small amount of Cali magic and flora grow. On my previous rockwool multi time per day feeding I would have expected these to be twice the size at two weeks. Hopefully we get some explosive growth soon.

Tuve un problema con tripes, entonces estoy usando cola de caballo y neem. Por ahora tudo tranqui, creo que funcionó. Está hermosa, creo que en esta semana empiezo el LST

10/21/2025 Week 3 of veg. We are looking great for Lemon Cherry Cookies. She's 8" tall. Not quite the 12 inches I was hoping for at this age. But she is strong. Great stem, or should I say stalk or trunk? It's hardening off now and getting big. She's not taking in a ton of water. I'll top her up this afternoon after lights out. Papaya Cookies looks like she's about to tip over from the affected area on her stem. I think the infection is gone now. It's just a matter of healing. I'll continue using crop defender 3 until she's totally healed and no longer cannibalizing herself. But I don't know how I'm going to prop her up. As it is definitely needed. Or well from what I can see, she needs it. See picture. Anyway, this week, I'm going to try to be a bit more organized. You know, organize the pics so you see the same plant over and over. So you can see the progress without having to flip through pics. Also, I'll try to keep my thoughts in check. Environment this week. So it's about the same as last week. 63% humidity and 75° for temp. The VPD should stay around that 1.10 kPa. The difference is I'm increasing the nutrients a little bit and officially adding silica blast. I'm also trying to increase the CO2 so I can increase the light intensity. The light distance is also going to change. I may lift it up and crank the power so I have a tent flooded with light. I'm gonna want a DLI of like 30 mol. Right now it's around 20. Should be higher than that. Who knows, maybe I'll start today at 25 mol, and bring it up slowly to 30 by the end of the week. If I'm not mistaken, I should be around 40 when flowering hits. 45 to 50 if I can get the CO2 to work. The light is 300 watts in a 3x3 tent. So I should t have a problem with intensity. I'd also like to note that the hangers the light came with take away about 8 inches of space. I'll be fixing that as soon as I run out of space. I also have the CO2 bag sitting just above the light. The bag is pretty big, so it might take up more space than I can handle. I'll figure it out though. For the light, I think I'll add independent clips to each corner. So I can lift it up high enough for more growth. Anyway, that's my pre lights out briefing. I'll be back with the days numbers. Although, the numbers should be spot on. And they aren't. I'll be back with more stable numbers later on today. They really are mostly stable I promise. PPFD: 650 DLI: 42.5 mol (kinda high, but I'm seeing no light issues.) Temp: 73.3° RH: 62.9% VPD: 1.04 kPa 10/22/2025 I'd like to start today with a thanks to all that have been answering my recent questions. If you are one of those and you're reading this, again thank you all for your fountain of information. I'd like to explain what I believe happened. The environment was and still is perfect. The humidifier is barely running. There's also heat in the tent, so there's no issue with things drying out as they should. While I 100% believe there was a moisture issue, I don't believe it was from the environment. It's super perfect thanks to the efficiency of the AI controller I have. The roots look perfect as well. Nice and white. So no root rot. Also, for those of you who don't know I have a second plant in the tent and it's doing wonderfully. It's a Lemon Cherry Cookies by FastBuds. Great branching, awesome color, no issues whatsoever. She was fed and treated exactly the same as the dying Papaya Cookies. What I think happened is the splash from the top feeder was getting onto that specific area of the stem. You can tell when you touch it and all that comes off is salt. Not powdery mildew, but salt. Lots of it. SO, it was definitely from moisture, but not where everyone thought. But all your answers helped me to know what to look out for next time. Personally I don't think I need to go back to soil. As this is my first hydro grow and I have 1 plant that is perfect and one that is still growing pretty well, but is definitely having feeding troubles now. I do like the idea of tying a string to the top of the tent and holding her up. I might do that instead of the stake. The EC and PPM are on point. So it's not that. It has to be the splash of the top feeder. Which I fixed by adding more clay pebbles to help block the splash. So far it's working wonders. One last thing and I think it's a shot in the dark, but I have "The Other One" which is also a Papaya Cookies. If you're reading this you already know. But I haven't mentioned it. That one has what looks like the exact same problem. It was no where near the salts, humidifier or anything wet except for the tray with the water in the bottom. She has great roots for still in a seedling tray. But also has the same squeeze on her stem. Doesn't anyone find that odd? Let me know in a dm or the comments. I'm keeping her alive to see what happens. With that. I mean, she has no oxygen getting to the roots, so she will die eventually. But til then, I'll use her as a reference for under feeding and overfeeding. As I've done both so far. And she's not dead! But it definitely is doing the same thing. I took a picture just now. I'll post it for everyone to see. This makes me think that the specific type of fungus is dangerous to this specific strain. Has to be something like that. I'm gonna contact FastBuds for some insight. Again, thank you all for the help. Oh, the dying Papaya Cookies isn't dying anymore. She looks healthy except for the already damaged parts of the leaves. But nothing is spreading anymore. So I killed the fungus and the plant seems to be on the mend. I'll keep it and see what happens. If anything it's for... SCIENCE! Back to our regularly scheduled program. So today is a great day for Lemon Cherry Cookies. I'm not training her yet, I'm gonna wait for the scrog net I think. However, I really do want to train her down a bit. Maybe I'll do that today. Just a bit. I can't express how healthy she is. Never have I ever. And this is my first time in DWC. I think I like it to be honest. It's easier than guessing what's happening in the soil. I bought some training clips for her. I'm not really sure how I would attach tie downs to this particular bucket system. The lids kinda seal themselves to the bucket... In a way. So there's no space to put a clip or hook. So training clips it is! I really don't like them, but I've only had experience with cheap small ones. Maybe these larger ones will do better. They're the BudClips brand. So good I guess? I haven't really seen anything else that I recognize. So I just hung up the Papaya Cookies with some plant tie. I also took the largest 2 leaves on top. It opened up so much space and took some weight off. I know when a plant is recovering, clipping leaves is a no no, but as it stands ,she might die anyway, so why not give the bud sites a chance. Temp: 73.1° RH: 61.2% VPD: 1.08 kPa Quick update: I increased the light intensity to 450 PPFD. It was a bit too low for this stage. I think next week I can put it up to a 35 DLI. We'll see. 10/23/2025 This was a floating day for the pH. It was sitting pretty at 6.18 for the whole day and night. When dark time is over, I'll pH them back down to 5.8. A lot of growth from Lemon Cherry Cookies. Not much upward, but who cares, she's growing outward. All I need to do is trim some leaves and tuck some others. Papaya Cookies looks like she is mostly recovered from her infection. The leaves look great, I left 2 semi damaged ones on just in case. So I'll see what's happening with already damaged leaves and leave the rest alone for the most part. She's been tied up to the light which is maxed out in height. So she won't tip over. We'll see how she does in the coming weeks. Both ladies are given the same mix of nutrients. And Lemon Cherry Cookies is looking fantastic. Papaya Cookies looks pretty good herself. I think next week, we'll bump the nutes up another 1/4 teaspoon. So that would be 1.5 teaspoons. 10/24/2025 It's still lights out for the next 45 minutes, so I'll just update quick and then a quick update later. Right now, Papaya Cookies is stretching. Not fast, but still fast enough where I need to tighten the plant tie so there's less slack. Lemon Cherry Cookies is completely perfect. I'll be upping the nutrients for sure next week. I snipped some leaves off before lights out, so technically yesterday. Just a few. A couple big ones that were pointing in. And a couple others. I also got my budclips training things. I hope the branches aren't too stiff. I could definitely have worked a couple days ago, but these things grow really fast. The only problem I'm having is tie downs. I can't use them. Not with DWC. Atnleast not with this system. It's completely sealed. As in no gaps from the lid to the bucket. Anyway, that's all for today. Our ladies are alive and kicking. Temp: 73.6° average daily (includes lights out) RH: 61% VPD: 1.10 kPa Quick update: so it's after lights out and still the 24th. But I had to share. I just did the absolute best training I have ever done. Those BudClips. So easy! Well, Lemon Cherry Cookies was a bit difficult because she was starting to really stiffen up. But I got all of it on the long run. Papaya Cookies was super easy and came out perfect. At least perfect for my experience. Lol. Best I've ever done. Too bad she isn't going to do much because of the thin stem. 10/25/2025 Good things today, good things. Let's see, real quick, both ladies got a small haircut today. Just freeing up a little space. Cutting the inward facing leaves and ones that were pointing straight down. Not a ton. Honestly, Lemon Cherry Cookies doesn't look like she had much cut, but it was enough. Papaya Cookies looks much more open, but that's because her leaves are smaller for now. She's about a week or so behind. So training turned out to be perfect. They were both completely recovered in less than 12 hours. Now for the awesome news! Lemon Cherry Cookies has white pistils! Preflower baby! We might actually have an 8 week plant on our hands here. Papaya Cookies seems to have them too, but not as prominent. I'm guessing she will follow in flower within the next few days. Maybe by the end of the week. Definitely time to up the nutrient dose. That being said, I believe after training, we have a couple 10" plants to start the preflower transition. I'd be very happy with a couple 30" plants. "The Other One" I dunno man, this plant is going to die someday. Imagine it pulls through and flowers. One big bud. Like the size of a regular cola. Pfft. Definitely not gonna happen, but we shall see. Temp: 73.2° RH: 60.8% VPD: 1.10 kPa Quick pic update. If you look at the pic of Papaya Cookies stem, you can see the bottom is getting thicker as the plant heals. I think she's gonna make it. I almost forgot a thing. So in my fungal infection question, someone mentioned that my humidifier was too close. Even though it doesn't run much, I decided to take the advice and stuck on the hose it came with and hung it about 2 ft above the canopy. From what I can tell, it's working better. So thanks for the advice! It barely ran before, but what it would do sometimes is blast fog for like 5 minutes to get the humidity back up. It's usually when I set the system to tent work. (It's a 15 minute timer where the heater and humidifier turn off and the light turns down to 1.) While I'm in there, obviously the temp and humidity drop. That could have been a contributing factor. Cuz when the tent turns back on, the heater blasts for a good 5 minutes with the humidifier dropping 8 levels of fog right on the stem. Now it drops on the leaves. I think we have a false alarm with Lemon Cherry Cookies. I don't think she's in preflower, but Papaya Cookies sure is. Definitely. I'll get some pistil pics tomorrow. 10/26/2025 Not much today. I'll be checking pH after lights on. I took off this tiny pathetic lowest branch off of Papaya Cookies. From what I can see, she didn't mind in the slightest. Honestly it popped off really easily. I didn't even use shears. Just a little push down and pop she goes. I hope the rest of the branches aren't like that. They'll be snapping from the weight of the buds. Lol. I also took 3 leaves off. The damaged ones from the infection. And one random huge leaf sticking out of the bottom. Lemon Cherry Cookies looks great! She could use a little more of a haircut. But I'll wait a few days. She's definitely not in preflower. Bummer. I was really hoping for a super fast run. Well, it looks like we might have a normal run. Let's hope for an insane plant. Can I just vent for a minutes about how annoying it is to live across from a church on Sundays. All the kids and I can't smoke a bowl yet. Damnit. I don't smoke in front of children. Damned kids coming to church and being all there and whatnot. Oh hey, they all went inside. BOWWWWWL! BAHAHAHAHAHA Update: I know I thought we had pistils on Lemon Cherry Cookies but not. Well they're here now. See picture. White pistils! And it starts! The race to the end. Who will win the glory of being sacrificed to the great Doobie Gods? 10/27/2025 Not much going on today. Did a little bit of extra training. Pulled the top down on the Papaya Cookies. It was starting to get way too high over the canopy. I have this one branch on Lemon Cherry Cookies is super long. I had to train it down twice. Good things are happening! The other one: I didn't even bother looking at her today. Environment: Perfect as always. The CO2 is super bouncy. I can't wait for the NEW exhale bag. Hopefully it works. Lighting: I'll be changing the lighting tomorrow with the new week in Flower. Currently the light is topped out on the ceiling. I'm pretty sure I can take the tethers off if need be. Anyway, I'll be increasing the light intensity tomorrow as well. All the way up from 9 to 10. Hahahaha. I might have to drop the light. But we shall see. Nutrients: I'll be adding some bloom nutes and backing off the grow nutes. I think I do this for 2 weeks starting tomorrow. It's perfect timing. I need to swap out the water, add new nutes and change the lighting. What a start to next week. Anyway, to wrap it up. We had a very good week. Both plants are healthy and happy. Even Papaya Cookies. We had some good growth, some perfect training and a super light defoliation. All is well. Welp, see you next week on the flowering side!

W7 - GRETA 🌱is growing well. I again defoliate some leaves from top brunches (compare with week 6) just to make the top canopy slightly less dense. That will allow more sunlight receive by lower brunches a specially when they in the flowering period. Still using garden wire to hold down two top branches. She looks like bonsai cannabis 🎉 😘 I am happily watching her grow 🙂

Day 7 in flower and the ladys start to strech All 4 have the same water & livingsoil but the HerzOG at the left shows signs of stress and just dont Look good at all water ph‘d to 6.5

Ready for harvest in 3 days.. Going for 30 hours of darkness before bringing them down. Hoping for good smoke, buds look a bit small.🌱🎋 Oh well, better luck next time, lol..🧐

11. Woche Sie ist diesmal nicht ganz so schön geworden aber schon okay.

Most phenos were on the bubba kush side with loud pine, mint and sour lemon og terps and a couple sweet pine & mint. Two were sour diesel terps with an og pine & mint undertone. Have yet to sample while they cure but look all indica

Meine Dame in der Sonne hat trotz Topping die ein Meter Marke geknackt und ist jetzt 1,04m groß, die andere im 12-12 Modus ist nur 76cm groß, bildet dafür aber wundervolle Blüten. Das Wetter bleibt wechselhaft bis schlecht! Das Wetter bessert sich, leider habe ich einen massiven Befall von Trauermücken, Nematoden sind bestellt. In meiner Purple Bud in der Blüte habe ich zusätzlich Milben entdeckt, also sind auch Raubmilben unterwegs😢 Der Sommer ist zurück und das freut mich und die Pflänzlein. Meine Zusatzbeleuchtung habe ich so eingestellt das sie von Sonnenauf bis Sonnenuntergang eingeschaltet ist. Die Dame mit dem Natürlichen Lichtzyklus bekommt nun also auch von Tag zu Tag weniger Licht. Ich bin gespannt wann sie sich auf den Weg in die Blüte macht.

Moin, Die 3. Blütewoche ist vorbei und die White Sweet Candy OG hat sich nochmal deutlich gestretcht, vorallem die drei verbleibenden Haupttrieb (Leider ist mir Anfang der Blütewoche beim letzten scroggen ein Haupttrieb abgebrochen) werden höchstwahrscheinlich zu ziemlich großen Buds! Mit den noch erfolgten Stretch hat die Pflanze hier ideale Höhe erreicht und ich hoffe nicht auf weiteres Höhenwachstum sonst muss ich den Filter und die Abluft etwas umhängen. Besonders in den letzten Tagen beginnt merklich die Blütenbildung zu beginnen und immer mehr Pistils schießen aus den Blütenansetzen. Trichome konnte ich bisher aber nicht erkennen das wird sich in den kommenden Tagen aber sicherlich noch ändern und ich bin wirklich gespannt wo die Reise noch hingehen wird und wann ich das erste mal einen Einblick in das hoffentlich süße und vielleicht etwas kushiges (?) Terpenprofil erblicken kann. Diese Sorte macht einen wirklich Lust zu grown! Einzig tut es mir etwas Leid, dass ich dem Strain nicht das ganze Zelt an Platz gegeben haben. Ende der Woche sind mir ein paar kleine Anzeichen eines Calciummangels an zwei einzelnen Blätter aufgefallen, weswegen beim gestrigen Ansetzen der Nährlösung erstmal auch eine kleine Menge an CaO hinzugegeben wurde. Ende der 3. Blütewoche wurde die Pflanze ordentlich gelollipopt und vorallem die zum Teil schon fast riesigen Blätter wurden entfernt und die Struktur deutlich luftiger gestaltet sodass nun auch ein Guter Airflow gewährleistet ist. Zur Struktur selber bleibt die White Sweet Candy OG Ihrer OG Struktur in Wachstum treu, mittelgroße Internodienabstände, starke Haupttriebe mit große Blätter und relativ starkes Seitentrieben. Einzig ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Triebe nicht zu stark trainiert werden sollten, da diese doch recht starr und zum Teil Hohl sind wodurch diese zum Brechen neigen, wenn diese zu stark heruntergebunden werden. Ein wirklich Problem sollte das aber nicht darstellen, wenn man darüber bescheid weiß und nicht zu rabiat an die Sache herangeht. Des Weiteren habe ich mittlerweile mein Intercanopy-Lighting eingestellt und beleuchte die Pflanzen nun mit 21 W zusätzlich und er unterschied in der Ausleuchtung der untere Triebe ist nicht zu übersehen, ich bin auf die Ergebnisse gespannt! Alles in allem ist dieser Strain wirklich robust, stellt keine großen Anforderungen, hat wirklich Bock zu Wachsen und kommt gut mit höheren EC Werten klar. Gerne mehr von genau solchen Strains! Hey, Week 3 of flowering is over, and the White Sweet Candy OG has stretched noticeably once again. The three remaining main branches in particular have put on a lot of growth (unfortunately, one of the main branches snapped during the last SCROG session at the beginning of flowering). These remaining tops will most likely develop into some pretty large buds! With the additional stretch, the plant has now reached the ideal height for this setup, and I’m hoping for little to no further vertical growth. Otherwise, I’ll have to reposition the carbon filter and exhaust system. Especially over the last few days, flower development has really started to pick up. More and more pistils are emerging from the bud sites, although I haven’t been able to spot any trichomes yet. That will surely change in the coming days, and I’m genuinely excited to see where this grow goes and when I’ll finally get my first impression of the hopefully sweet and perhaps slightly kushy (?) terpene profile. This strain is genuinely a joy to grow! The only thing I somewhat regret is not giving it the entire tent to itself. Towards the end of the week, I noticed a few minor signs of a calcium deficiency on two individual leaves. Because of that, I added a small amount of CaO when mixing yesterday’s nutrient solution. At the end of week 3 of flowering, the plant received a thorough lollipopping. In particular, some of the already massive fan leaves were removed, creating a much more open structure and ensuring proper airflow throughout the canopy. As for the plant structure itself, the White Sweet Candy OG stays true to its OG heritage: medium internodal spacing, strong main branches with large leaves, and fairly vigorous lateral branching. One thing I did notice is that the branches should not be trained too aggressively. They are quite rigid and partially hollow, which makes them prone to snapping if bent down too forcefully. However, this shouldn’t be a real issue as long as you are aware of it and handle the plant with a bit of care. Additionally, I have now set up my inter-canopy lighting and am providing an extra 21 watts of supplemental light. The improvement in light penetration to the lower branches is clearly visible, and I’m excited to see how this affects the final results. Overall, this strain has proven to be very robust. It doesn’t demand much, has a strong desire to grow, and handles higher EC levels without any issues. I’d definitely love to see more strains like this!

5/13 first week from transplanted clones, looking good, 5/18 transplanted 5 - 4” pots to 3 gal grow bags,

This plant is developing really well; I had to cut one of the top buds because I didn't notice it was touching the light, but otherwise, everything is going great. It has a wonderful scent—I can smell it the moment I walk into the room.

🔝🔥

Привет садоводы и огородники !!! На этой неделе возникли проблемы с гидропоникой Из за неисправной работы PH инструмента я перелил кислоты в раствор и тем самым уронил сильно PH растение испытало сильный стресс похожий на анабиоз надеюсь отойдет . но если нет. то нет

We are at the end of fruiting and they are getting ripped! Beautiful sweet creamy smell mixed with a green sour. I believe at least from the smell pound cake will be one of my favourites, but let's wait for the smoke test. Nothing major to report, all the blumat issues where fixed and also the nutrient deficiencies. I'll not be adding anything else other than water until they finish. Just had the final defoliation to improve air circulation because they are so small that the branches overlapped a lot.my next auto's I'll just let them grow naturally because, from what I've seen and read I think I trained too much and that will impact production in a bad way. The poundC#1 really became delayed because of the dey period that it has gone through and now I'm hopping that I can manage to harvest at the same time without major losses because I have to dry on the same tent for now. It is the only place than I can maintain the ideal conditions.

This week looks very good flower of black cream are a little bit violet, all the plants are goods and very healthy...waiting to harvest... 😲🙄 Aggiornamento 1 novembre, le piante sono tutte in ottimo stato ho dato una bella sfoltita a tutte piante, facendo così arrivare luce a tutti i fiori.

Sorry for the long time no update. Work got busy and I haven’t had the time to update this. Flower has gone pretty smoothly and the girls are getting ready to finish up. I have 3 bubba pupils in the tent at the moment, with a reservation privada purple wreck, freedom of seeds Godberry, and a serious seeds AK-47. The bubba pupil phenotypes look to be all the same. Low yielding with some extremely resinous quality buds. The smell is funky and grapey. The bubba pupil buds look like they’ll be all finished up in about 1 week to 10 days. Most of the trichomes are milky, and I have yet to spot any that have turned amber. The purple wreck is starting to purple out and probably has 2 weeks and some change left. The Godberry is probably the most resinous plant, and looks like it will be the second heaviest yielder next to the AK-47. The resin on the Godberry is extremely fruity, and leaves your fingers smelling like a bowl of fruit loops after plucking a few fan leaves. The AK-47 is the fattest bitch of them all. Big colas everywhere across its canopy and they’re falling over because I did not install a trellis on this grow. The AK-47 has an old school funk to it, and has around 5% amber trichomes. I’m thinking I will start to flush her at the start of week 8 (in 3 days) and let her finish up at a full 8 weeks.

Soooo, da mir die lieben einen Ersatz Steckling zugeschickt haben sich aber mein erster einigermaßen erholt hat, dachte ich mir wir starten hier noch ein kleines Projekt auf meiner Fensterbank über den Sommer Hinweg. Würde sie jetzt gern noch eine Woche entspannt ankommen lassen im neuen Topf und dann schon mit dem LST Training beginnen. Muss sagen den Bio Tabs Dünger habe ich diesen mal nicht abgewogen und einfach mal von allem etwas in die Erde geschüttet. Denke da muss ich mir dann eh in den nächsten Monaten Gedanken machen wie ich die Lady am besten düngen werde :D Habe den Steckling mal vorsichtshalber aus dem Zelt genommen da er mit den Anschein macht gezwittert zu sein oder in der Blüte angekommen zu sein was ich super komisch finde Bin sehr gespannt was hier auf meiner Südseite passieren wird. 24.3 : da das Wetter hier bei mir die nächsten zwei Wochen eher schlecht ist und ich der Dame eine gute Licht Zeit gönnen will steht sie jetzt die nächsten Wochen noch mit im Zelt, solange ich dafür noch Platz habe. Denke ab Mitte nächsten Monat sollte aber die Sonne so lange scheinen das es kein Problem sein sollte sie auf die Fensterbank zu stellen, ab Mitte Mai kommt sie dann komplett raus.

Looking very good, this ladies are breaking the shield within 48hs since planted as I was expecting, let's see how my beautiful queens develop on this "little run" on a 2x4! Growing with a tsl2000 by mars hydro! 👨‍🌾💯✌️ Stay tuned guys.
