DWC Grow #3 - Week 5 (Day 28–34) | Canopy Takes Over + Trellis/Topping + Space Management (Dec 25–31) Week 5 was the week the plant stopped being “a plant in a bucket” and started being a canopy-management project. Growth turned noticeably more explosive, the footprint expanded fast, and I had to make real decisions about structure, airflow, and tent space. Day 28 (Dec 25) - Explosive growth Came home to a huge jump in growth. The plant looked healthy and vigorous, and it finally felt like the system was “locked in” after the earlier turbulence. Reservoir was stable, roots looked strong, and the canopy started to crowd the tent. I started seriously thinking about topping and how to manage height long-term. Day 29 (Dec 26) - Post-training recovery looks good The plant handled the recent canopy work well and kept pushing new growth. I logged a stable reservoir (temp staying in a good range) and the overall posture looked positive. Water usage was clearly increasing, which matches the jump in biomass. Day 30 (Dec 27) - Strong momentum + dialing light position The plant kept building mass fast. I continued to raise the light slightly as the canopy climbed and nudged intensity upward cautiously (still conservative relative to manufacturer “veg” suggestions). Reservoir readings stayed in the workable zone, and water level continued to drop steadily, confirming she’s drinking. Day 31 (Dec 28) - Steady readings, steady push No big interventions - more “observe, tuck, and keep it stable.” The canopy was getting denser, and I could tell the next phase would be about preventing the tent from turning into a packed, hard-to-service jungle. Day 32 (Dec 29) - Space management: moved extraction hardware outside To reclaim headroom and working space, I moved the inline fan and carbon filter outside the tent. This was purely about space and practicality as the plant expands. I kept an eye on airflow behavior and made sure the setup still pulled properly. Day 33 (Dec 30) - Canopy density reality check Canopy got dense enough that it started feeling like a “light and airflow engineering” problem. I did a light prune (nothing extreme - more like clearing obvious blockers). I also noticed some droop and ended up focusing on reservoir basics: keeping the root zone oxygenated and avoiding a too-high water line. I siphoned out some water to bring the level down. The water looked a bit murky but didn’t smell, which was reassuring. Day 34 (Dec 31) - Hands-off (New Year) I was away for New Year’s, so this was effectively a hands-off day. Sometimes that’s the best thing for me - less temptation to over-adjust. The plan was simply to return, assess water usage, and continue shaping the canopy with minimal stress. Week 5 takeaway: The plant is officially in “take over the tent” mode. Growth is strong, water consumption is increasing, and the limiting factor has shifted from “will she survive?” to “can I keep the environment and structure under control without over-correcting?”

This Week i let them just continue to grow out of the LST. Last Day of the Week i cut down all the lower branches and defuliated the leaves. First Week of Flower and the Plant shows some nice female Flower-pistols. This Week i started with the Flower Feeding, i gave her about 4 tsp Seabird Guano as Topdress Feeding, it got a NPK of 7-4-5 so not idial for Flower but i guess Perfect for Streching-phase. Please Let me Know if you do Lollipop your Autoflowers ?? i was pretty unsure if i should do it but i was afraid that if i didn't do it it would cause problems cause of the ventilation. Hope you like the Grow so far !

Flipped to flowering this week. My dumbass accidentally said Sweet Seeds is from Venezuela - they are actually based in Spain! Their Tropicanna Poison F1 is a BEAST! Being part auto, it is clearly starting to outperform the others.

KRITIC AUTO BY KANNABIA Week #3 June 16th-23rd Week #1 Flower This week she started to flower at least she also stretched to about 13 inches tall and stated some side growth also. Hope she stretches not this week to make room for more bud growth. Stay Growing!! Kannabia.com KRITIC AUTO

Como no me gusta cómo queda el recuento final de las plantas en el diario he optado por poner todas juntas

4/30 one of the plants has actually visibly stretched more in the last 48 hrs. Starting to impress me with the pistols. Still way smaller than their projections online but whatever 🤷🏽‍♂️ 5/4 end of the week and I’m pretty okay with their size now 😂 they went through a sizable stretch. I’ll have to get my measuring tape back in the tent because each time I’m adding to this diary, I question whether I’m on the right week or not because they look like dwarfs compared to the end of the week

All in all went well but come home from a 12 hour shift last night to find the temp on 45° and rh was 55 so got signs of heat stress added another fan high up to hopefully get a much better air flow

Plant was almost 190 cm tall and full of big long colas, she gave me a very good harvest 💪🏻💚

This 5 plants are absolutely gorgeous, they're supper similar to each to each other beautiful leafs and structure, looks like this lady is gonna provide us with beautiful citrussy buds!! Stay tuned everybody! Great autoflowering strain by SPLIFF SEEDS!

Plantas muy iguales , entre nodos casi no existen jejeje son uno tras otro , tengo mucha esperanza

Hey Leute die strains machen sich sehr gut man kann gut unterschied Sativa indika /indika sativa sehen das unterschiedliche strain hybride sie wachsen sehr gut die machen keine Probleme bis jetz unkompliziert

Here we go, my first attempt to be blown away by the most designer genetics I could find. Spoke with GreenMachine back in November 2019 on getting these, watched him do it first in his version of hempy buckets (do check him out, quite unique) 6 plants run in 4 gallon hempy buckets 30% perlite, 70% coco. Top feed twice daily till resevoir spills out of the buckets. Will up it in flower to at least 3 feedings. All drains to waste Room is dialed in. See my build journal, this space is in a non climatised garage. Insulation and air conditioning are key, as well as odor control for my neighbors sake. Growing out 4 phenos to look for the frostiest nuglet and will then clone it over the winter for next years run.

My lemon cherry Runtz is coming along nicely. It’s a strong plant from our the door. I think I transplanted my plants a little too early this time and caused a little slower growth this past week. They grew a decent amount but I can tell I did some root damage and I over watered at trasplant. Even with all my mistakes the plants still look great and healthy. Every plant from fastbuds so far has had the best resistance to stress. I’m excited to see this one come along

Ho aggiunto 600watt led per questa settimana, la prossima saranno tolti. Ho iniziato anche a diminuire le ore di luce da 12-12 a 11-13, toglierò 30 Min al giorno fino ad arrivare a 10-14 3° giorno della 4° settimana di fioritura Ho dato 10ml di fosforo per pianta Iniziano a gonfiare i calici e la produzione di resina si intensifica 🤤 Le amo 4° giorno 4° settimana fioritura Tolte foglie prendi sole Tirato un po' di più i rami per miglior esposizione alla luce e più passaggio aria Grazie per l'attenzione stay tuned🤟🐵🤟

Some light defoliation and leaf tucking. Installed the Tray2Grow today and I’m excited. It’s looking great. The silica gave it a really beefy center stem. I dig it. I love this plant so much.

Veg44, defoliación grande, y ajuste de amarras. Siempre digo que será la última defoliación y termino defoliando más, ahora a qué crezcan un poco más antes del cambio 12/12 Veg46, las plantas están ya recuperadas y creciendo a buen ritmo. Veg48, riego con solo Sensizym y Sensi CalMag, con pH 6.3 y EC 0.8, drenaje de EC 1.9 y pH 6.1(ok). Debido al crecimiento de debe ajustar amarras y quitar una que otra hoja.
