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.

The LUSH soil is providing plenty of nutrients. Some of the girls have remnants of the burn. I'll get em taken care of in two weeks. When I do the last small defol. I believe my bx ibl skunk ( by my company Arkainjenetics ) . is a male ! So pros and cons. Pros. It's short. Which is awesome and what I was going for. Stem smell is strong. And it handled my Nute burn and topping like a champ. So I deem him worth of his seed. ( His pollen ) 😂. I'm working on where I want him to go. I don't want him to go into the 4*4. Cuz I'm starting my next grow in there. I bought a 3*3*72 but I'm realizing I don't need that big of a space for one plant. ( Cus the 3*3 is still in its box I didn't want to put it together for just one plant.). And I need to get all the right equipment for the 3x3 still. But that's for another diary lol

Alguna ya esta ready para meter las ✂️ y las demas .. será cosa de días 🙊🙊🙊

They got the formation that I wanted them to have so now it’s time to flip into flower. I took some clones because you never know what u got until the end. I also top dressed for flower and I started a compost tea I’m gone give them tomorrow, but other than that we off to the races baby!!! Thanks for everyone that is following the grow I started a YouTube channel so if u don’t mind go subscribe and all that good stuff https://youtube.com/@C_More_Budz

So at the end of last week I put two of these girls into the dark for two days before I chopped. This week In the tent it wreaks of sweet fruity dankness. Two of these are maybe a week behind and have dark purple leaves and one of them are a few weeks behind with purple calyxes. On the two plants pulled from the tent, both look like I will have next to 0% larf almost all buds are bigger than the golf ball size buds that fastbuds boasts. Idk what to expect on the yield but I'd be happy to have 2 oz a plant if the buds are as dank as they look and smell. Happy growing 👊

Well it’s time to harvest 299 gram total wet weight with stems very happy with the outcome on these to say I messed up with nutrients at the most important stage bounced back and gave some very sticky buds with a hint of strawberry will update on dry weight in time thanks for viewing

First off this week found some spider mites have managed to get them all other than that week 3 of flower and were seeing a nice even canopy not the biggest of auto flower but has produced a good amount of bud sites. My other lady is budding nicely she looks like shes going to produce some rock hard nuggs update coming next week #automendo #monster genetics

La tenda (4x4) è in fioritura da circa 2 settimane e la SF2000 lavora a pieno regime riuscendo a coprire bene e in maniera efficace praticamente ovunque, ho trasferito la Purple OG Punch di SSSC che è l’unica autofiorente e mi stava crescendo troppo in altezza per stare nell altro box e quindi aggiungerò lei in questo diario!😄💥🎬💚 Tutte le Gorilla 🦍 sia di Zamnesia che di RQS sono state defogliate nelle foglie più gialle e con carenze, le 3 piante di Seeds Mafia invece continuano così cercando di recuperare le altre in altezza…ora le Gorilla 🦍 sono tutte a 1.800 EC mentre le 3 di SM sono a 1.600 EC, la PPOG è a 1500 EC. Ci vediamo presto con altri aggiornamenti e grazie di essere passato! Grazie Spider Farmer ancora per questo LED SF2000, questo nuovo modello fa veramente la differenza e le piante crescono in maniera ottimale!!! 💯🙌🌱

The Terp tent in full flush mode.... started flawless finish on day 75/81 and flushed all 4 plants throughly let dry out on day76 at night b4 loghts out i then fed 1 liter each plant of plain ph reg water 6.0 ... day77 marked plain water 5.95ph. With slight run off about 3 liters. Day 78 /84 is today which upon checking my trics id say they will be ready for 48 hrs of straight darkness on day 83/89..... from there they will be sawzawed unless yall got a pair of scissors that can cut through 3 inch stems hahaha damn rhino skin .....(buyit) All 3 cookies gelato are turning purple 😋 💜 😍 ya babe shine for me Cg1 is a yeilder that smells like straight up Blueberry pancakes with some side muffins Cg2 is short but she got cake bro ..... sticky n will be a trimmer Cg3 no joke smells like candy gas and so frosty I think we might class this one as the best I might ever grow lol no shares on this lady fingerprint scanner on the jar opener ....... Green gelato is one hella weird growing plant to me idk why maybe I did something wrong or right but these buds r still skinny but fattened up alot tha ks to over drive .... they are about 20 inch buds and 6 main colas that long smells like lemon candy and gas earthy mix deff gonna be a trimmer but a decent yeild I bet for how small the bud sticks are lol 😆 they like foot long hotdogs but like 2 of em in 1 lol 😆 😂 👌 Anyways so far so good kept it clean tidy and fulfilled my passion for thc ... What more could always bored needed something to do carpenter with zero side time ask for honestly tho for my 1st ever grow eith 100%brand new equipment not knowing what I'm doing , I think I did well I pat myself on. The back ... I hope to make my name in the I dusty somehow someway down the line ... possibly breed my own strains and brand it the terp tent thanks for those who veiw my.grow and stay green fams. Till next week when we get some hopefully final pics b4 dry?????

Day 35 today. Still pushing forward and enjoying the process. Lowered the humidity in the tent, gotta have the AC on full blast though. Nutrients have been a challenge but getting things worked out and staying positive.

WEEK4/1F Die Guava befindet sich parallel zur Blütenbildung auch ordentlich im Stretch. In der Höhe hat die Guava gut um das doppelte zugelegt. Zur Stabilisierung und dem Schutz vor zu viel Wind hat die Guava eine kleine Stütze an ihre Seite bekommen. Mit der direkten Sonne ohne den Schutz vom Mini-Gewächshaus hat sich die Guava super arrangiert. Zum Ende der Woche war das Wetter recht durchwachsen und es gab leider etwas weniger Sonne und leider auch etwas Regen. Dafür soll es aber Dienstag/Mittwoch kommender Woche ordentlich Sonne geben💪🏼 Gegossen wird immer nur nach Bedarf. Bei dem Regen Ende der der woche brauchte natürlich nicht viel gegossen werden.

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

Harvesting An ELEPHANT !!! And after 118 day from seed and 101 from wen she started her mix veg/flowering process, i cant say for sure but i am starting to believe that this auto world do veg, then veg and flower in conjunction for a wile and only after they a wile they move to a flowering stage completely but thats another post another day lol today was harvest day for this Auto Elephant from SSSC , and let me tel you she is a delight with huge fruits, so big that i normally cut and hang the all plant and for this i did not take the risk of doing that and getting bud rot , better safe than sorry, so what i broke her in smaller peaces and put it all in the rack. Now not much to do than waiting for it to get around 10/15% humidity and jar with it all. This one as you guys can see from the video , this is a full covered in trichomes BIG MAMA and touching her is like touching super glue or something lol i was trying to put all the colas in one picture , but is simply just not possible , they all look great so i selected 4 of them for a true back back ground <3 Thank you Super Sativa Seed Club for this opportunity, i fell like a champion no matter what with this 2 Mamas, much respect on the work you guys did on this Elephant As always thank you all for stoping by for your love and for it all, i fell humble and honored

A tad late, but on Dec 20th we started flower! The pics and video are all from dec 20. To kick it off we did a small feed (1tbsp) of veg nutrients and over the next few weeks will transition to flower blend. So far she's taken well to the training and looks very strong overall. Cheers til next time -Dj Sunstone

Hi Growmies Happy new year 2024 and a prosperous green one for all. Here we are at week 5 of flowering and they are really setting themselves up nicely for some nice chunky buds. There is a very sweet smell coming from them now , nice and candy sweet. Their spread is quite wide and there are a lot of flowering sites to develop too. #1 is still out there in front as most productive and with the larger buds so far #2 is half her size but her buds are starting to show they will cover the whole stems. #3 has smaller flowers at tje moment but I expect that to even out over the coming weeks. I am still using the dehumidifier to keep that moisture down as the cold dark period gets quite damp amd I think these buds will be nice and chubby so a perfect place to hide mould if not managed properly. There is plenty of air movement beneath the canopy so this should also help keep them dryer. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you are recovering well. lol. Until next week. Be well. Sorry no pics due to rubbish app update. Every update destroys the platform for weeks as they try to address all the issues they open up every "update" .

Hello, hello again! Started this week off with yet another, 6.5PH in, 6.2 PH out watering of 2.5L per 9L pot each. I actually, despite my statements in previous weeks, said "ah f*** it" and upped the dosage of bloom (4 ml/L), topmax (4 ml/L), and brought grow back to 3ml/L. They soon about to be harvested, didnt want to deny them a proper last meal. Other than that, we entered what i for myself call the "boring" state. Theyre absolutely nice too look at, and, looking back, have been so much fun to grow, but now i just sit here waiting for Trichomes to amber up. And since its my only tent, i hope they do so equally as fast as the rest of the grow so far. So, nothing much more to tell! No Defoliation, No Adjusting lights, just feeding them and ever so patiently waiting on them. One of the plant has some cool looking foxtails going on. I dont mind it, looks cute. Budsites still keep sweeling up good though. Stigmas are now 50/50. Added some Trichome shots on Nov 3rd, Took a couple of pics and stacked them in Photoshop Day 69, some more Trichome Checks, not quite there yet! See you next week! :) Added Timelapse for week 10!

Hi Gromies all is well, just doing her thing, been training through the scrog net. This girl is ready to flower and will be changed over today . Pulling the 600W m/h - HPS out of retirement to flower this girl as I need the l.e.d. for an Auto grow that is just kicking off. Please give me a like & a comment thanks. HI-AZ

It's really hard to get started with conditions and insufficient knowledge. but i did it. OG Kush really hard to grow, but it's really worth. ill grow this girl again I added more pictures of Super silver haze, she's baby and only 3 weeks to veg. Just showing

Vứt nó ngoài trời vậy k biết baoh ra hoa. Tưới nước kệ cụ nó thôi :)) Cuối ngày 15/09 lst. Làm compost tea để mai tưới. Phun lá vitazyme + rong biển theo định kì tuần 1 lần. Tỉ lệ 1,5ml vitazyme+ 0,5 rong biển 17/09: đêm nay sẽ mưa và tôi quyết định sẽ lên thăm cây 1 chút, sau khi tưới compost hồi sáng thì mọi thứ vẫn ổn. Tôi dùng 1,5 nắp rỉ mật cho 8l nước, 1 chút phân trùn quế và vi sinh vật chứa: tricho và bacilus. Sục khí chỉ trong 14-16h khiến tôi quan ngại về vấn đề cháy lá nhưng không, chúng vẫn ổn và có vẻ đang phát triển tốt hơn bao giờ hết. :D 18/09: sau 1 đêm mưa gió sáng hôm sau trời nắng đẹp, tôi quyết định sẽ uốn chúng xuống thêm chút nữa và chúng hồi phục hẳn vào ngày hôm sau. 19/09: do thấy chúng hồi nhanh nên tôi đấm nốt cây bị lưỡng bên cạnh cho hồi 1 thể :)) 21/09: tỉa lá quạt của cây cái và uốn lại cây lưỡng tính. Từ hôm nay trở đi tôi sẽ xịt nhện đỏ bằng nước trắng rửa lá cây vào mỗi buổi chiều. Hết tuần
