Welcome to my Sour Strawberry(ies) one was meant to be snipped by now. Instead im going to put both in either end of a very large pot and weave them together in a 50cm2 scrog Veg Days 0-6 0-3 &0-2 Seedling Days a few on smaller pheno. DAYS 9-15 As you can see. Both are in the same pot i cut off my finger badly. So, no hard work is allowed while stitches are in. And uppotting and mixing soil will just be do much work. I'll wait a week but, I will separate them into different pots so they can recover individually making sure each separate needs are met. And once I've a stable balance. I'll put both on either end of a big 50xcm2 pout (bout 30L) Edit Day 15 and 12 Pheno 1 & 2 both in 2x 1.7L pots. FLMING'ed both plants after 20hrs of a rough upppot a lot of stress but, they're pushing through. Pheno 1 &2 i removed 1st sets of nodes and pheno 1 i removed the nodes directly underneath the Flming point. Thanks to my sponsor from Spider-Farmer for the great product. Plants are growing much more of a rapid pace. Its a great light SE5000 im using it at 100% 90% on hot days. And it's great. If it wasn't running co2 to match the ppfd I'd only have it set at 75-80% Much appreciation to all who viewed, liked &/R commented or just stopped by, either way, thanks. Look forward to seen your diaries.

Day 106 16/08/24 Friday Big feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Finally flipped her!! Excuse my mess of a Scrog it's first time. I'm cutting away squares to allow the new growth this week to pass through, the net will only be used them as support to allow her to fully express her flowers 💚 Day 107 17/08/24 Saturday Another watering today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Picture and video update ✌️ 💚 Day 109 19/08/24 MONDAY Another feed today, she is recovering well from the move, Scrog, LST. This week I'll be keeping her within the net as she stretches. Picture update Day 111 21/08/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water today pH 6. Again 5L little run off. She's stretching 😁 time to fill the floor.

Will see in about a week 🙏🌱👀 So I will chop her, and make she ready for drying in RQS hemp dryer. Now I know for a myself that yes u can easily grow half in growbox and flowering outside if needed, 😉 When more ongoing I will update 🙏💚🌱 Happy growing 🙏🌱💚

She didn't like the toping done at week 3 at all! She it's by far the shortest in the tent. She does make up for her size by how pretty she is. Already peach/off white pistills she is going to be a beauty! Like her size she doesn't drink much .5 gal every day and she's fine!

Sadly had a two moldy headbuds, but i think it was my bad. I didnt take my time watering slowly and the right way. I will still wash the rest, didnt see anymore mold, i checked very cautios. From the Too much GAK #3 i also saved three headbuds to try her as flower aswell Pressed the 45-90u first at 75°C and a 2nd time at 80°C. First press was 5,65g and 2nd press was 0,5 which i dabbed right away and had some very nice candy fumez terps. Makes it a ~1,2% return on the lower quality, i am hoping for ~4g on the 90-160u which will be my premium quality.

Diese Woche wurde low stress Training bei der runtz gemacht. Die Purple Punch hat Probleme im Wachstum, leider kann ich mir das nicht erklären. Die Runtz bekommt schon erste anzeichen einer mangelversorgung da sie bereits buds produziert und die anderen pflanzen noch nicht, wahrscheinlich stress bedingt.. Ja sonst bleibt nicht viel zu sagen, ich habe meine probleme mit der Luftfeuchtigkeit in den Griff bekommen und habe derzeit nurnoch probleme mit der Temperatur Nachts. Nächste woche werde ich den lichtzyklus wahrscheinlich auf 12-12 stellen und damit die Veg. Phase beenden und in Flower gehen. Peace out ✌️

Week 3 day 7. Buds are getting icey and stretching around 1-2” a day. Dropped the carboload and is going to be replaced by a PK booster (big bud). Watering everyday. Plain RO on every 3rd water. The kind LED is pissing on the hps if im being honest. Bud development and vigor seems a lot nicer. Stay baked.

14.1.25: I've been readjusting the LST. I just took all the pegs out and reshaped her. I got some new LST equipment in the mail today, have been glad to have more pegs. I got some clips too, but they don't seem to stay on 😕 I'm currently only using the pegs, I have some thicker soft wire, but I forgot I don't have pliers to cut it! Also I'm running very low on Biobizz nutrients, so that could be bad 🤞 18.1.25: I have done another large defoliation on PPP1 and PPP2. Also, moderate defoliation on all other plants today. All LST ties and pegs are readjusted. I have turned up the light to 90%. Same distance of between 24-28 inches, depending on height of specific plant. I have increased the dosage of Biobizz Bio-Grow and Fish Mix to give an extra boost of Nitrogen as several plants were showing yellowing. They have responded very well to this. Unfortunately I ran out of my Biobizz nutrients and PH UP. I'm currently using Bicarbonate of Soda to increase the PH after the nutes PH comes out to about 4.1. Obviously, that uses a lot and I only had a 250ml bottle, which I used last run too. This run I have 9 plants. The only thing I'm worried about is the salt build up. Have you used it before? Or any other natural way to increase PH? Please let me know! I've also added Biobizz Fish Mix to help with the extra Nitrogen needed. Watering with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients;- ♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix ♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow ♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max ♡ 2ml Cal-Mag ♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish. I water with this every 3 days. I did order some more Biobizz Bio-Grow and Bio Bloom. I found some at a reasonable price on Amazon. I still have about 800 ml of Biobizz Fish Mix left, too. It is fairly expensive this time as the plants are hungrier this run. I also got a new bag of Canna coco, which I may use to add a top dress with some dry amendments. Which hopefully will save some cash on the bottled nutrients and stretch out until the end of this run without having to buy anymore. I have purchased a funnel to pour the water. It is difficult, due to the shape of my LST, to water precisely. I have spilt it all over the tent several times 🙄 I've also ordered a 2 litre jug. Currently, I'm mixing water for 9 plants individually in a 1 litre jug. It's tideous. Hopefully, this will solve the issues. Cleaning the tent after watering every time isn't my idea of efficiency 😅 Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Time to harvest or leave for longer. Maybe a few more days? Should I water on not now or just wait? Soil is dry. Please let me know your thoughts!

🌸 Week 6 Flower – RollerCoaster Haze 🌸 The RollerCoaster Haze ladies continue to impress, towering, branching, and now fully focused on flower production. At this stage, the stretch has slowed down and the energy is clearly moving into bud development. Both phenos are responding exactly as expected: stacking, swelling, and pushing out white pistils everywhere. 📸 Media Update This week we worked mostly with video content, editing clips to show different angles of the canopy, along with a handful of carefully edited photos. I also tested the GoPro inside the tent. While it captures the energy of the grow, the challenge remains: grow lights and reflective walls can be tricky for sensors. It’s part of the experimentation, learning what tools work best for documenting the journey. 🌱 Plant Development • Flowers: Buds are bulking up, calyxes swelling, and pistils standing tall and abundant. • Colas: Long, thick colas are forming, showing that the plants are putting their full effort into bloom. • Health: Leaves remain vibrant and healthy, a great sign that the nutrition plan is balanced. • Size: The girls are still ginormous, filling the tent with their structure and presence. 💧 Feeding & Environment The recipe continues as in Week 5 with the Aptus + Plagron combo, fine-tuned to deliver exactly what they need in mid-flower. The soil’s foundation combined with targeted liquids creates harmony between root uptake and flower demands. • pH: ~6.0 • EC: Moderate, adjusted to soil reserves • Temps: ~28–29°C • Humidity: ~65% • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 The girls show no stress signs, just steady flower development and consistent stacking. 🔬 Educational Spotlight: What Happens in Week 6 Flower? By Week 6, the plants are deep into reproductive growth. Here’s what to expect and observe: • Bud Bulking: Calyxes swell, flowers add weight, and colas begin to take their final shape. • Pistil Production: White hairs remain abundant, showing active flower growth. Some pistils may begin to slightly darken or curl in certain spot, a natural step in maturation. • Trichome Formation: Resin heads start to appear and multiply, laying the foundation for terpenes and cannabinoids. • Nutrient Focus: Plants now require a steady supply of phosphorus and potassium to fuel flower production, while still needing calcium and magnesium for structural support. This is also a week for observation. Every genetic expresses differently, some push pistils longer, others start swelling earlier, some stretch more, others pack tighter. It’s a reminder that growing is about watching, adapting, and learning from each cycle. 🌟 Looking Ahead • Expect even more bulking in the next two weeks, as the flowers really start to pack density. • Trichome coverage will increase noticeably, and aromas will begin to intensify. • Environmental control becomes crucial — high humidity can risk mold at this stage, so keeping air moving is key. ✨ Reflection Week 6 Flower is where the RollerCoaster Haze girls show their true potential. The canopy is vibrant, the flowers are swelling, and every sign points toward a powerful finish. This is the heart of the ride — and these plants are carrying us higher with every day. 🌸 Week 6 Flower – Summary 🌸 • Development: Buds bulking up, calyxes swelling, long colas forming, abundant white pistils. • Health: Vibrant leaves, strong root base, plants remain ginormous and thriving. • Feeding: Aptus + Plagron combo (no All-in-One Liquid), balanced P/K support, steady Ca/Mg. • Environment: • pH: ~6.0 • EC: Moderate, adjusted to soil reserves • Temp: ~28–29°C • RH: ~65% • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 • Notes: GoPro testing for photos/videos; documenting challenges with tent lighting. • Focus: Observation of pistil production, trichome development, and bud stacking. • Looking Ahead: Expect flowers to pack on more density and trichomes in the coming weeks. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Slowing down, packing on trichomes/resin, strong fruity skunk earthy smell so far, very sticky and looks very nice, flowers stacking in a rose like position, round and ball like. Looks like a mini frosty rose! Only water this week.

Had an issue with black leaf spotting, made a spray to try stop it spreading took off the infected leaves, doesn’t look like it’s spread to any new leaves since I started using the spray so fingers crossed, buds starting to form nicely though nice smell coming from her very sweet. End of week 7 I’m seeing orange hairs on my nice sugary buds but is this not to early? Buds are forming nicely very resinous n rock hard but still only quite small. I’m hoping they start to swell over the last few weeks!!

The first week of progress. Got a little sprout coming out. The leaves got somewhat messed up from the shell sticking. More to come.
