🌸 Week 5 Flower – RollerCoaster Haze 🌸 The RollerCoaster Haze girls are thriving in mid-flower, building structure and stacking buds at an incredible pace. Both phenos are stretching into the canopy with strength, white pistils everywhere, and flower sites developing beautifully. The plants are balanced, vibrant, and showing no signs of stress, just healthy, determined growth. 💧 Nutrition & Feeding This week we’ve adjusted the recipe, stopping the All-in-One Liquid completely as the soil and pellets still provide plenty of slow-release nutrition. The focus now is on a lean, targeted bloom feed, keeping the roots active without oversaturating. Current recipe (all at 1ml/L): • Aptus Regulator • Aptus CalMag Boost • Plagron Green Sensation • Plagron Sugar Royal • Plagron Power Buds Solution runs steady at pH 6.0–6.1 with EC balanced to complement the soil’s reserves. The results speak for themselves: stalks, roots, and leaves are thriving, and the flowers are coming on strong. Environment • Soil Temp: ~24°C • Room Temp: ~28–29°C • Humidity: ~65% • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 kPa Airflow, extraction, and monitoring keep the conditions stable. Despite the size of these girls, they’re handling the environment perfectly. 💡 Inner Canopy Lighting – ICL300 This week I want to highlight the role of the ICL300 inner canopy lights. These lights are designed to deliver light where traditional overhead fixtures can’t: deep inside the canopy. Why does this matter? • As plants stretch and leaves overlap, the lower branches and bud sites often receive far less light. Without supplemental lighting, these inner flowers stay smaller, less dense, and less developed. • Inner canopy lights like the ICL300 solve this by pushing photons directly into those shaded areas, ensuring the lower and middle buds get the energy they need to bulk up. Spectrum: The ICL300 units provide a balanced white spectrum with a red push, tailored to maximize flowering response while avoiding heat stress. This means not only are the tops getting stacked, the inner and lower flowers are also swelling, making for a more even, consistent harvest. The difference is visible already: the RollerCoaster Haze girls aren’t just top-heavy. The mid-canopy sites are developing beautifully, with structure filling out in layers instead of just one dominant top. 🌼 Pistils: White Hairs Everywhere At Week 5, pistils (the fine white hairs that emerge from each calyx) are one of the clearest signs of flower development. They serve two major purposes: • Reproduction: pistils are part of the female flower’s reproductive system, designed to catch pollen if it’s present. • Growth indicator: the color, abundance, and orientation of pistils give us a direct look into the maturity of the flower. Some genetics push out bright white pistils, while others lean slightly toward cream, yellowish, or even orange tones earlier in bloom. This variation is completely normal and tied to the plant’s lineage. At this stage, the RollerCoaster Haze girls are full of vigorous white pistils, standing tall and reaching outwards. This shows they are actively building flowers and pushing energy into new calyx formation. It’s also a reminder that this week is about observation: watching how the pistils evolve will tell us not only about maturity, but also about how each pheno expresses itself. Later on, pistils will darken and curl inward as the calyxes swell, but right now, their abundance and brightness are a clear signal of healthy, strong flowering. 🌱 Observations • Bud sites are stacking with strong pistil production. • Inner canopy looks healthy and productive thanks to the ICL300. • Plants remain lush, green, and full of energy. • Root systems are still vigorous, visible at the soil surface. ✨ Reflection Week 5 Flower shows how balance in nutrition, environment, and lighting can work together to create truly explosive growth. By dialing in the recipe, highlighting pistil development, and introducing inner canopy lighting, we’re not only supporting the tops but ensuring that every bud site gets its chance to shine. The RollerCoaster ride continues, and these girls are carrying us higher every week. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Drunken Bitch Slap is doing okay. Nobtrwining this week. I had to neem oil treat everything. I had a russet mite issue in neighboring grow room. Figured I would treat everything in vegging to be safe. She got her first solution change today. Not much else has changed. She is doing well under the Hortibloom Solux 350 light. Thank you Aeque Genetics, and Hortibloom. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Au 27ème jour, la strawberry Gorilla se porte à merveille. Je suis convaincu qu'elle présente un phénotype indica, étant donné sa forme plutôt compacte. Il est difficile de ne pas remarquer la nécessité d'attacher les branches... J'attends maintenant avec impatience de voir la préfloraison se poursuivre et l'étirement de la plante perdurer, en espérant une multiplication des sites de tête. Engrais : je continue à utiliser un mélange comprenant du seaweed, de l'humic, et un booster à moitié dosage recommandé, sans ajout de NPK.

If you are looking for yield then green gelato is most certainly the one you're looking for. If controlled right you can easy get 10oz per plant on these!

Hallo 👋👋👋 ein weiterer vergangener grow meinerseit, den ich nun Stück für Stück hochladen werde. Dies ist auch mein erster Balkongrow. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine photoperiodische Blue Sunset Sherbet von Barney’s Farm und einer Royal Jack automatic von Royalqueenseeds. Beide sind direkt in einem 8l Topf auf dem Balkon gestartet und wurden mit florgsnics ausreichend ausgestattet. Die Jack hat sich absolut prächtig entwickelt, die Sherbet durfte einige wilde Entscheidungen meinerseits miterleben. Wünsche viel Freude beim Lesen :)

Ciao bros&sis! It's been a while, I know, but here we are! Ok, about the girls: they are fine, i've decided to transplant some of them in coco coir to learn the "hydro way" (I see DWC in near future) thanks to the great tips learned from @Mr_Di and embolden by my bro @Totem I'll try to works with mineral fertilizer, EC and the inert medium. Girls in coco are: Royal AK- still the queen. into her new 12lt airpot (not fill it because is too big) she's growin an inch a day OG Kush- she likes nutes and everything, but there's something wrong with the leaves... into 11lt netpot Speedy Chile- she's growing strange, but strong. into 6lt pot (I wanna give her a chanche, but not waste time and money) Ferts of choice: Canna Coco A+B, easy to manage and economic I also add some liquid silicon to the water to prepare the plants for the oncoming training, great product for sure. Soil: UK Cheese auto- she's flowering even after crop, lst and hst. STRONG genetics. 8.8ltpot Pink Doc CBD auto- at the third try, we have a winner! Finally a seedling that seems normal and fine, we will see... 8.8lt pot Candy Kush Express- she like soil, indeed. Nice plants, topped and transplanted. 10lt plastic growbag Special Kush- tiny princess, she was begging for more space. 10lt plastic growbag That's all mate, we will see soon for the next update! Ciao!😙

Última semana de crecimiento de las Blue Spyder de Zambeza seeds. Están funcionando a la perfección bajo un led de Mars hydro. Tiene un color y un vigor increíble, entre nudos no hay mucha separación y tienen mucha vegetación, ya se ve que han disfrutados estas semanas de crecimiento. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Bueno las maximas de temperatura no superan los 25 grados y las mínimas no bajan 19, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/60% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo poco más la verdad ya con ganas de empezar la floración , buenos humos 💨💨💨

‼️DAY 56, LIGHTS OUT‼️ We have reached the final day. The ladies are looking beautifull and I cant wait to harvest them For the next 48 hours they will stay in the ground with the lights out. After those 48 hours they will be harvested🤩 In the last video you can see how the mutated plants have grown. I DID NOT TOP THOSE!

Shoot!!!! They’re beginning to thickening up, i’ve done some lst for 5 days and now they’re pretty good. I’m letting them grow and will begin to tie the other branches when they will be big enough!
