Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos, y también, a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾👍 Cepa: PUЯPLΞ ØG PUИϾH (Purple Punch x Star Killer). Índica/Sativa: 80/20%. Floración: 7-8 semanas. THC: 18-22% Esta cepa ha estado hermanada en riegos, maceta, sustrato, luces, productor y tiempo de vida con 3M ✠ S₭UИ Ձ.Օ ► ƒϑ. He cosechado esta planta después de nueve semanas desde el paso a floración y seis semanas de crecimiento vegetativo. El último riego lo he hecho sólo con agua pura de manantial de montaña, el único de estas características que hago durante un cultivo, el resto de riegos siempre llevan alguno de mis Bio nutrientes, mi estrategía se basa en crear un sustrato ligero sólo con minerales variados, pocos nutrientes, buen drenaje y aireación, aplico Bio Fertilizantes solubles en cada riego porque busco cultivos de alto rendimiento. La planta, por accidente, tuvo un periodo de oscuridad total durante 4 días, esto provocó un envejecimiento prematuro, después, la tuve 10 días con periodos de luz normales y la planta consiguió recuperarse bastante. Estoy contento con la producción, teniendo en cuenta el tamaño de la planta y la maceta. Una cepa a tener en cuenta. La planta creció debajo de la lámpara Spider Farmer SF 1000 colocada muy cerca del dosel y al 100% de potencia (92w), las colas han crecido con gran densidad y vigor... los días de sol, aproveché y expuse la planta durante 2-3h a los rayos del sol de verano y el fantástico espectro de luz solar! 🌞💡 Hasta la próxima... SALUDOS A TODOS!!🖐️👨‍🌾💧💦🌞💡 =================================

Week 6 Flower — Sundae Driver (deep dive) Quick recap — From seed to Week 6 • Germination: Pillbox + water enriched with Aptus Regulator / Start Booster; three seeds, two kept. • Early transplant: Seedlings moved directly into final 11 L fabric pots with a living / amended super-soil (Janeco Light Mix + Aptus line + mycorrhizae, substrate buffer, micro-mix). • Short veg: Minimal veg time (early transplant strategy), light training (leaf-tucking) and one deliberate supercrop to control a “moon-shot” top. • Flower flip: You used an 11/13 light schedule to encourage a firm, fast transition into flower. • Now: Week 6 of flower — plants are large, heavy, and beginning to show clear resin development. ⸻ This week’s snapshot (what you told me) • Solution EC: 0.7 mS/cm (you stopped All-in-One liquid and pulled solution EC down) • Solution pH: ~6.1 • Soil/substrate EC: still comparatively high (you reported earlier numbers around 5–6 mS/cm) — the living soil is doing the heavy lifting. • Feed plan kept: Plagron PowerBuds, Green Sensation, Sugar Royal (all low-dose), plus Aptus Regulator and Aptus CalMag Boost. • Plants: heavy, bulking, obvious frost/trichome production; supercrop site is producing well. ⸻ Why you lowered solution EC and stopped the All-in-One liquid • Letting the soil lead. Your living, richly amended soil already holds lots of available ions. Pulling water-solution EC back to ~0.7 makes the fertigation a light steering input rather than the dominant nutrient source. That reduces the risk of salt buildup while letting the soil biology and reserves feed the plants. • Encouraging ripening, not more vegetative growth. Lowering soluble N input and total EC reduces vegetative vigor and encourages the plant to reallocate energy into flower development and resin production. • Cleaner profile. A lighter solution often helps express terpenes and can reduce harsh residual taste if you choose to flush later. • Risk management. With a high substrate EC you avoid compounding salts, but you must monitor runoff EC/pH to ensure you’re not drifting into deficiency or toxicity. ⸻ Trichomes & white pistils, what you’re seeing and what it means • White pistils (hairs): still plentiful, the plant is mid-flower, still producing new pistils while older ones will start darkening in the coming weeks. A lot of white pistils now is normal at Week 6; they will darken and curl as maturity approaches. • Trichome types & stages: you’re seeing more glandular heads and sticky sugar leaves. Trichomes progress roughly: clear → cloudy/milky → amber. • Clear: immature (not peak potency) • Cloudy/milky: peak cannabinoid expression, usually target harvest for a balanced high • Amber: more degraded THC → more sedative, couch-type effect; some amber is normal depending on desired effect • What heavy trichome coverage now means: the plants have moved into active resin production; enzymes and carbon flux are being directed to terpene and cannabinoid pathways. Continued support (sugars, PK, stable environment) helps maximize resin and terpene development. ⸻ Supercrop update — technical recap & why it worked • Mechanics: you bruised/softened the stem, bent it, and closed the wound so the plant formed a strengthened knuckle. That redirection reduces apical dominance and sends auxin to lateral sites. • Results you observed: rapid curve-up, additional bud sites along the bent branch, and notable fruiting at the knuckle/top area. That’s expected, the wound redirects hormonal flow and the plant compensates by boosting side growth and flowers. • Monitoring: the knuckle strengthens over 3–7 days; watch for any slow-healing splits and keep airflow over the site to prevent moisture pooling. ⸻ Why you kept Plagron + Aptus (what each brings) • Plagron PowerBuds / Green Sensation / Sugar Royal: targeted bloom stimulators (PK, co-factors, carbs/aminos). They help compact flowers, feed terpene pathways, and provide sugars/precursors that support aroma and density. • Plagron Sugar Royal: acts as a carbohydrate/secondary biostimulant — supports microbes and gives a sugar boost that plants and microbes use for energy in resin synthesis. • Aptus Regulator: supports stress resilience, uptake efficiency, cell wall strength — especially valuable under high light/heat. • Aptus CalMag Boost: maintains Ca/Mg balance, essential for cell structure and avoiding tip burn when uptake is rapid. • Strategy: Plagron drives bloom chemistry; Aptus protects physiology and supports clean uptake. With soil heavy on reserves, both are applied as focused steering tools. ⸻ Week 6: What is happening physiologically • The plant transitions from stretch to stacking: calyxes thicken, pistils begin to darken in the coming weeks, and trichome density increases. • Carbohydrate flux is prioritized to the floral sink; you’ll see faster water uptake and increased K demand. • Leaf yellowing in lower leaves often begins around now as N is remobilized to flowers, this is frequently normal in mid-late flower if controlled and not extreme. ⸻ What to expect next (practical timeline & signals) Expect (over the next 1–3 weeks): • Continued calyx swelling and denser flowers. • Trichomes moving from mostly clear → cloudy (you’ll start seeing the ‘frost’ become more opaque). • Stronger terpene aroma as sugars and PK feed resin pathways. • Heavier water uptake and faster EC changes between runs. Don’t expect (yet): • Final resin peak — that typically comes later (weeks 7–10 depending on genetics). • Immediate massive ambering — amber trichomes usually develop later in the finish window. • No surprises — biological systems still can flip; remain monitoring-forward. Watch closely for: • Runoff EC & pH after a couple of waterings — if runoff EC climbs very high, consider a mild runoff correction. • Humidity & bud density: keep RH controlled to avoid botrytis (mid 40–55% during heavy stacking; lower as flowers bulk). • Magnesium / Potassium signs: interveinal yellowing (Mg) or edge cupping/crisping (K) — maintain CalMag and consider K if uptake accelerates. ⸻ Actionable checklist for Week 6 • Continue solution EC ~0.7 and pH ~6.1; treat fertigation as steering. • Measure runoff EC/pH at least once this week — log the results. • Keep Plagron bloom stack + Aptus Regulator & CalMag at light doses. • Keep canopy airflow high; consider lowering RH progressively if buds bulk fast. • Prepare stakes / soft ties or light trellis for heavy colas (supercrop sites may need support). • Microscope checks: start daily/alternate-day inspection of trichomes with 30–60× loupe — photograph if you want a timeline. • Avoid heavy new training; minor tucks/leaf removal to open air/light only. ⸻ A short note on flushing (planning) • Many growers flush with pH-balanced plain water 1–2 weeks before harvest to reduce soluble salts and tighten flavor; opinions vary. If you intend to flush, start planning timing based on trichome stage, not calendar alone. Your living soil and current low-solution EC approach already help keep things cleaner. ⸻ Final reflection — gratitude & community Week 6 is where the plant’s intent becomes visible: form into flower, pack on weight, and build resin. Your measured decision to pull back water EC while continuing Plagron’s bloom stimulants and Aptus support is a smart “steer, don’t force” approach that lets the living soil and the plant do the heavy metabolic work. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Week 18: 😅 I hope the work we put in this week, sets us up for a successful next couple weeks. We really pushed through the rest of our flower defoliation. I think we learned alot through this process. Every branch can not live on. Branches and primary growth points are two very different things. We also learned that flower and veg have different needs. I am now noticing the soil is almost bone dry in about 4/5 days, so by the 3rd day the plants need more water... This is important to note.. as we will be traveling for the holidays for the next two weeks (NOLA, HOU, RIO). May God be with us over these next few weeks. I'm glad I have a ring camera installed in the tent for times like these... but I would not recommend purchasing this camera for the purpose of a grow tent cam. Will be trying the Wyze or another type of camera for more timelapse content in the future. Will check back in later this week with pictures from my friend that will be watering for us.

This week as went well, plants are starting to bulk up and get comfortable in their new pots. Next week or the week after next might be the time to transplant them into their forever home pots, then flip to flower after 3 weeks of them growing into their new space. They have been getting a bit to much N with the Gaia Green 4-4-4 mix, I keep forgetting how much it gives them and that I need to mix it with the power bloom 2-8-4 in 25-30/75-70 or 50/50 ratios. I have extra Gaia Green Soluble seaweed extract to make up the missing K in the ratio mixes. Still mixing the PH a bit lower at 6.0 with the citric and malic acid tests, plants are going well with them, tested a bit of runoff with the one smaller plant and was getting aorund 7.5, EC still sky high so wont need to feed for a while now but they are not burning and that's a good thing. they seem to be tolerating the Potassium Silicate as well, I don't like how much it alters the PH but till I get in some ground wollastonite. Sames extras as any other week with the addition of some magnesium, rest as follows, yucca extract, silicon, potassium seaweed extract, microbes, fulvic acid, Clones are doing ok, when I took the photo of them this week they looked good and then 10 min outside of their humidity dome they looked like shit and all withered. Some of them are showing signs of putting on roots with little white specs on the stalk coming through. Will have to place them in some potting medium soon and see if they take off. And if they do I will have some to give away to whoever wants them in my friend group. I also have that one smaller plant that was delayed by a week or so thats also extra. Got to find a loving home for it, my other grow buddies don't have anything started ATM and don't want to start till later in the year. :( Pepper update! some of the peppers are living the high DLI of the lights and some of them are not... the purple jigsaw ones seems to be getting a bit burnt under the lighting. They all will be taken out soon enough. I should look at transplanting them into other pots soon and they likely root bound. Can set up something in my room with an old SF1000 I got or the Sunblaster 18" 6500k lights that I used to grow with. When I touch the leaves of the goronong and them smell my finger they have a lot of hot pepper aroma coming off of them. I think these peppers are going to be quite spicy when they are all done. The Fatalii peppers are the same and I know they are spicy AF but their smell is a bit more bright and less earthy as the goronong still pungent all over. The Fatalii are also a bit smaller, could be the older seed just is not as vibrant as new seed. Should be fine once they are outside always a good producer for me. Going to make infused salt with them and give that out as gifts to my friends. Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

It's worth noting that the yield of this strain turned out to be small, and the buds were loose. Even with expectations set higher, the cultivation result left much to be desired. While the plant started flowering quickly and early, it failed to accumulate significant mass, adding a sense of disappointment to the equation. Confronted with these characteristics, I no longer harbor illusions about autoflowering strains. Though the experience with "Red Mimosa XL Auto" left a bit of disappointment, I've made a decision for myself—no more autoflowers in my future plantings. It's always better to be honest about one's expectations and experiences, even if it means foregoing certain strains in the search for the perfect fit.

Good stretch this week, I haven’t lollipopped at all, not even in veg. It’s fairly leafy everywhere and I want to get in there and defoliate bottom 1/3 soon. A lot of dead leaves I imagine, just been so busy and been neglecting the grow. Funny, how when you first start out and you’re overly micro-managing and then as the months go by, it starts to become a chore. I ordered a light from China, a Meijiu (HLG)550 V3. HLG Canada didn’t want to give me a decent discount so, unfortunately had to ship my money outside the country. Saved 50% for a quality light though. Might take a bit to get here, been processing in Hong Kong for 4 days. So far the leaves are healthy but last run they started to turn deficient after the stretch. In my defence, with the last grow, I was just starting on the dry nutrient regimen and made mistakes. Hopefully it stays healthy throughout bloom cycle with new changes and knowledge. New reservoir this week as follows: Partial drain, most of it gone, but 100mL RO added and; 40 gram cal nit 30 jacks 30 mag sulph. 100mL mighty bloom enhancer 100mL head masta 300 mL h2o2 25 mL Fulvic 40mL Humic pH ended up high with addition of bloom enhancer, added pH down to 5.8. PPM 1360. Wednesday-Day 10 Added water and some nutes. PPM 1200 pH 6.0 Started a small section of lower 1/3 defoliation Day 11 Did some more defoliation, added a video to show progress. Day 12 Finished lollipop on right plant. Moved some branches around. Added 20 liters and 20g cal nit, 10g of both jacks and magnesium sulphate.

finally managed to heat the tent everything is good. i use 240 watt for bottom heating and 300 watt for blowing hot air inside. it's not a lot but lights spend much less.

Week 3 Flower To start the week off she was given a maintenance flush. This is the last m/flush she'll be given, until she starts her 2+ week flush at the end of her cycle. It's just as, if not more important than the first m/flush, as there could be more leftover nutrients than the first from being given heavier strength feedings. It's a good way to flush out the excess nutrients that can no longer be uptaken by the plant, and replace them with a fresh bloom feed so she can keep building her flowers. She clearly needs it as she already has good sized top buds for this early stage of flower. Silicon has been reduced to the norm now she's over her main stretch, and the base nutrients have been adjusted based around a 1:2:3 ratio, but favouring ﹰFloraﹰBloom. I've started using Green leaf nutrinets Bud Explosion in small amounts, to increase bud sites and calyx production. Their Sweet Candy is also now being included; this should improve the flavour and aroma. I'm doing a proper test with these on a clone from the Bubble Kush that I made a diary for, as this is a fairer test because I can compare to her first run. Along with her great calyx production, she's now starting to produce plenty of trichomes, and will soon frost up well throughout flower. Overall, a very happy and healthy looking girl so far. Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

Ok so this week I did a defoliation and a tigh down too the netting , I really was not planning on doing such a big defoliation but the leafs became thick and dense and there was almost no light penitration down too the lower branches of the plant , so she is opened right up now and the humidity and temperature has dropped loads and the air is moving alot better around the leaves and branches , I will not take anything more off her now , I have also added Cal mag too the nutrients for this week only , I am very happy with them so far and being new too all this it's all very exciting , Thanks for looking :)

Hey guys. For this week i upload some videos 1 video per plant. I am not giving any more the bio nova autoflower supermix, i m thinking on let them going only with water until the end, but lets see. Plant 5 is close to harvest i think on the end of this week. Plant 1 and 4 are doing good on flowering. Plant 2 is slowly flowering Plant 3 is still in middle of the transition to flowering, is going very slow. I think she probably is blocked because of the size of the pot and light . When i harvest plant 5 the others will have more space, and i can bend some branches to increase the bud quality. The big question is, when harvest? its the first time im doing this and i am afraid of doing that wrong. Hope the videos can help someone to help me :D I have also made a video of plant 5 on a more close look, not to much quality but for now its what i can get , sorry 28/05 day 69 small trichome update of plant 3,4 and 5. Plant 1 and 2 still on pre flowering analysing the trichomes, i would say, Plant 3 and 4 need almost 2 more weeks Plant 5 - probably only 1 week more, so up to almost week 12 plant 1 and 2 - will take much time as fotoperiodic LOL

Vamos familia, actualizamos la primera semana de floración de estas Terp & Tonic de Seedstockers. La temperatura que estuvo entre los 24-26 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos. Esta semana cambiamos a 12 horas luz,12 horas de oscuridad, estiraron bien y ensancharon bastante también, el color es verde sano. Se nota que los nutrientes de la marca Agrobeta hacen sus funciones. También realicé una poda de bajos que yo si las veo necesarias para explotar después la flor. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Last 2 weeks before I put her in a 3 day dark period! I’m no longer giving any nutrients and I’m letting the plant deplete all the nutrients in the soil, I’m also only using water for now own. I have her in a 11.5 hour light schedule. There’s slight nutrient burning too on some parts but it’s nothing drastic.

Major defoliation/ lollipoping that happened this week right on day 20 my main concern was looking for more hermies (due to stem cracks from lst) and also cut out any lower branches that where going to make larfy buds. I only cut up the branches untill the point that the budsites where at least a nice pistil cluster (10and up ) some branches got a good 6-7 inches shaved off some more like 2-3 just depends on the plant with so much variety. Also my plants are like touching the lights it just wont let me mark less then 4inches i have the ability to raise my light another 2inches so i will definitely be doing that. For now i have the taller branches off to the sides so the can outgrow the light without burning. Smells finally starting to come in with more gassy earth coming from DD and devine chocolate GG4 smell coming from the mellows Still see some nitrogen toxicity not sure if should cut all nutes in half considerIng week three biogrow increases to 3ml/L
