She strong little thing this the 2nd seed I planted of this strain the 1st one didn't pop for me idk why. Only spray and bottle watering her for right now she is in a 5 gallon pot don’t want to over water the pot and cause nat or mold issues. Today is the 1st day of the 2nd week. Dome came off the past few days also.

7/1/23 - Day 19 I do water changes weekly. The new weeks start off with a water change. Water changes always scare me, it's the mixing of nutes and balancing the PH. It sounds easy in theory but in practice you want to interfere with the PH asap. But I was able to let the LEAF box empty the water, I filled it up with RO water, LEAF then dosed all my nutes. After that i came in a PH balanced it. (PH balance is something LEAF will be able to do, but there was a bug in the software so instead of having LEAF dose the PH i decided to do it manually for now. The Roots are INSANE! I bet by time I'm done there will be 1+ gallons of water displaced by the roots. I almost started cutting her lower leaves at the base, but I decided to let them grow for a bit. If they grow out some more i will be able to scrogg them and then cut the leaves below after they are trained up a bit. The lights have kicked on and everything looks in order. The plant looks great too, she might be in a small amount of WTF because of all the PH changes but i think the drastic changes were kept to a minimum. She looks happy. As always ill update you tomorrow. 7/3/23 - Day 21- I trimmed some of the lower leaves on the bottom, I'm leaving her bushy still, I won't want to cut any more branches if I can, I need the branches from the bottom to reach the sides of the Scrogg net. In the next couple of days being apple to Scrogg and stretch her while Shes still moldable. 7/5/23 - Day 23 - I added some training lines to some of the branches. I need them to be as spread out as possible going into the Scrogg net. I'm a big fan of not trimming too much as she grows. I don't mind there being some foliage down below. I will cut as needed if it looks like the lower areas are sprouting too much of the little leaves, but for the most part, I let nature do its thing. She's drinking a ton of water now. I am getting my RO water dropped off by the five gal loads. I just got the membrane for my RO150 unit that I plan on having up and running within a couple of weeks so I can start making my own water. 7/6/23 - Day 24 - I added a picture of my RO water setup. It cannot be set up permanently, so this was a great solution. You can see how I was able to tie my branches down, next time I will drill a few holes on the side of the pot. This is a great solution for anyone looking to Scrogg and manage the vertical height. Also, you can see on the top branch there was some pulling, so much so that it started to pull the plant and it created a small lump. All good but just goes to show how pliable these plants are. Looking good and I'm excited for the next couple of weeks! If you are looking for this experience check out https://www.getleaf.co/

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Hey guys :-) . Week after week goes by and the lady is developing great :-). The training has ended because she will be in the flower tent in the next 10 days :-). It has become very bushy and I am very curious to see how it will develop again in bloom. It was poured twice this week with 1.2 l each. (See table above for nutrient addition). It was cleaned and the plant health checked.

2 part Harvest. 95+ Grams I got from this pheno. Took about a week to find the bottom 3rd. She is lovely, gasey & fruity. Smooth smoke with a lil bite to the back of my throat. Xpert nutrients did 90-95% of this grow. Love 'em. Will definitely be a fastbud do over. I wouldn't mind a few jars of this. 9.5☆

This one has been quick so far! Germinated in 2 days and popped from the soil just 2 days after that! Was good to see that the early OregonismXL use didn’t hurt her any. Was it beneficial though? Further testing needed. She’s going to stay in the starting closet with my summer outdoor plant, until I harvest the current plant in my tent (2-3 weeks).

Week two is upon us ! I have a new pocket size humidifier and it works great!! The low temperatures of my nights already bring out some purple on the leaves. Im pleased to see this so early in its lifespan. Although i have to be careful not to stunt her with too cold nights. I mixed a 1/4 of the recommended dose of nutrients for her first feeding. By doing so im reducing the risk of nutrients burn. To be honest i will get a few burnt tips on the firs set of leaves but id rather have a bit too much then less at this stage. The first leaves will drop first so i wont mind them being less attractive. The internode distance is good for a indica so far and i am pleased of the results so far. The glasses i use are yellow tinted and apparently they do a good job at correcting the colours for spotting deficiencies

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.

Day 14 Veggie Still in propagation tent; the back two rooted nicely, looks like the air stone was pushed back so they got the most benefit. I still need to clean out the veg tent for transplant into hydroton and 2 month grow period. 🎼🎶 I was gonna clean out the grow tent, but then I got high...🎵 JK.... I’m lazy.
