Week 2 Veg – After Transplant: Building Roots, Building Systems
The second week of veg brings growth, structure, and expansion—not only for our Sunday Driver girls, but for the entire grow space. It’s the calm after the bold transplant, and these ladies are not just settling in—they’re thriving.
Post-Transplant Progress
Our two Sundae Driver phenos have responded beautifully to the early transplant into their final 11L fabric pots. Both are drilling down, anchoring in, and pushing out new growth. Big, wide leaves are opening up—three-fingered and now already showing the next set, likely four-fingered. A sign of happy plants and balanced roots.
This early stage is all about foundation—not rushing, just setting the tone for a smooth, strong run.

Water & Nutrient Mix
Our hand-mixed water solution this week was all about balance and bioavailability. Here’s the data and recipe:
• pH: 5.83
• EC: 1.01
• Water temp: 18.5°C
• Feeding mix (per liter):
• Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml
• Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml
• Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml
• Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml
These dosages are low and precise, ideal for this early veg stage. We’re aiming to stimulate root zone health, build calcium-magnesium reserves, and support early vegetative structure without overfeeding. A light but powerful start.

Environment & Conditions
The tent is alive. This isn’t just about two girls—it’s an entire shared ecosystem with sisters growing alongside them. We’re making space and improving structure as the room fills up.
• Tent: 8x8 shared space
• Lighting & air under control with: TrolMaster Hydro-X system
• Room temp: 27°C
• Humidity: 57.4%
• CO₂: 632 ppm
• Watering: Still done by hand—with love and precision
• Surveillance: Full control via TrolMaster app + camera
• We see everything… even when we’re pooping.
• Yes, Big Brother is now a grower.
This week, the environment is being fine-tuned. We’re building the backbone of the grow: sensors, cables, splitters, probes, and control points. It’s like installing the nervous system in a body that’s just begun stretching its limbs.

What to Expect (And Not Expect)
We’re not chasing speed. We’re cultivating structure. In these early weeks, what we don’t see is just as important as what we do:
• No rush into topping
• No aggressive training—yet
• Focus on leaf growth, node spacing, and root spread
If all goes well, these girls will explode once they hit that root wall and start pulling in everything from that super soil.
What we do expect:
• Continued even growth
• Leaf width increasing (more fingers, more photosynthesis)
• Internal spacing developing beautifully
• A calm, stress-free vegetative phase

Closing Thoughts
Week two may not be the most visually dramatic moment of a grow—but it’s one of the most critical. The girls are setting their rhythm. The room is finding its balance. And we are tuning the system that will carry us through.
This grow is not just about plants. It’s about decisions, discipline, and design. We’re turning an empty tent into a symphony of life—and these Sunday Drivers are front row in that orchestra.
Thank you for following this journey.
There’s so much more to come—training, flowering, harvest, and everything in between. Stay curious. Stay grounded. And if you ever want to check in on the girls…
Well, we’re watching them on the TrolMaster camera.
Yes, even when we’re on the toilet.
