Day 15-defoliated her probably for the last time after a few weeks of growth, she was very bushy. Added another fan to get more air moving as well. Also, I decided to try out the AN Sensi Bloom set. I didn’t mean to get the coco version but a little extra cal-mag won’t hurt in this case, I only fed at 75% strength and added big Bud powder at 0.5 grams/liter. I’m hoping her stretch finishes soon or I’ll run out of space, although she’s starting to really stack.

Added a 65w Horticulture Lighting Group Quantum Board, turned my Viparspectra blurple LEDs 90 degrees and raised lights to, currently 18” above canopy. Still looking very green so no nutrients. I have them in the diary at low values so that I don’t need to reenter them every week for each diary when I use them. Added nutrients 400 ppm and nematodes 4/25. Some light defoliation.

2018-04-03 Week 14 Day 1 Not much to say, there isn't much drama going on in growroom 2, the only things I do is giving them water and nutes 2 - 3 times/week and making sure that the lamp don't burn the girls. I gave them 4 liters today, and since they live in smartpots I can see when the pot gets wet when watering the girls, but you could hardly notice that. They are getting thirsty 😛 The flowers are developing very good, they look really healthy and their colors are fine. Power Plant XL nr 1 is 67 cm Power Plant XL nr 2 is 66 cm 2018-04-04 Raised the lamp to it’s highest level and turned all girls 1/4 turn, it’s really hard to get in to the ladies in the back, I need to push the girls up against the walls on each side and crawl on the floor to be able to turn them and give them water/nutes. Damn these plants, why do they have to grow and become so BIG?! 😆💪 Added a new video, enjoy my SoG 😄 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Strain information Genetics for the famous Power Plant were captured by a group of Dutch growers on a trip to South Africa, back in the 90’s. They managed to breed a strain that was soon a popular choice in coffee shops of the Netherlands, most likely due to the soaring and intense Sativa high. Zambeza Seeds thought that the productiveness of Power Plant should never be forgotten and created an updated version, to bring the legend back to live. Power Plant XL yields up to 600-750g/m² in a flowering period of approximately 55 days! The efficiency and productiveness of Power Plant XL fears no comparison with many recently bred cannabis strains. Indoor heights of 80-110cm make this sativa-dominant variety relatively easy to grow, but outdoor growers need to be aware of the power that is being released under the sun. Outdoor plants can easily reach heights of 150-200cm, and yields of 500-600g per plant. The taste of Power Plant XL can be described as a delightful blend of sweet and sour flavours, with subtle hints of pine tree in the background. Smokers who appreciate a very strong and uplifting Sativa high will be more than satisfied with the effects. One will experience feelings of euphoria that are definitely intense and uplifting, typical for a South African Sativa like this. The up-high can also evolve into being more relaxed, especially when larger quantities are being consumed. Some people suspect Power Plant to be grown in large commercial operations around the world. It doesn’t really matter if these assumptions are the truth or myths, but Zambeza’s breeders are very proud to bring this highly productive legend back to live. The updated version of it, Power Plant XL, is the most efficient Dutch "bud factory" money can buy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

September 20th. 97 days post flip. Clones: Clones continue to grow. Trichomes really starting to show on #4. Not much on #3 yet and almost none on #2 #1: Got cut months ago had balls. Parent is still chilling though #2: This one has struggled to grow based on being outcompeted by the other two. I had to remove even more rotten growth this week from this plant. All the pets that had rot were devoid of all light. At this point I think we are good.my humidity’s are constantly sub 50 this time of year and I’m okay if I have to toss some come harvest time. Even the healthy unrotten growth on this thing lacks very much smell. Peppery at best #3: Not much has gone on with this one. Still has a lemoney and piney aroma. I think this one might just need more time before it takes off with fattening and Trichomes development. #4: I’m starting to become very very happy with this plant in particular. Grow the start this thing has been explosive. Twice as large as #3 which is twice as large as number 2. This is clearly a tree like plant when grown outdoors. Along with explosive growth and structure this thing has amazing smells of oranges and vanilla. Very strong smell compared to the other plants and the most Trichomes by far at this point. Can’t wait to smoke this thing and at the moment this is our winner. Parents: These things have not been happier. Need a defoliation which I will be providing them tmmr God bless!

Herzlich Willkommen zu meinem Grow der Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto von FastBuds. Der Strain hat beim American Autoflower Cup in Los Angeles 2025 in der Kategorie Best Auto Hybrid den 2. Platz belegt. Wenn der Name hält was er verspricht, ist das genau das richtige für eine Naschkatze wie mich. Für den Grow wird ein 20 Liter ROOTiES Stofftopf verwendet. Und die Bio Hanferde von Sonnenerde wird verwendet mit der Bio Faser zum Mulchen. Die Bio Hanferde habe ich noch mit Monster Bud Mix für Living Soil von BIONOVA und Zamnesia angereichert. Tag 35: Die Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto von FastBuds geht in die Blüte. 1,5 Liter Brunnenwasser gegossen. Tag 37: 1 Liter Brunnenwasser gegossen. Tag 39: 1 Liter Brunnenwasser gegossen. Tag 41: 1,5 Liter Brunnenwasser gaanz laangsam gegossen. Die Blüten wachsen unglaublich schnell. Schön, dass du meinen Grow angesehen hast. Schau mal wieder rein. 🌱😎

La Gelato le lleva unos 20 centimetros a todas, no se si es por la variedad o porque absorbio diferente la luz

The humidity is still a concern as these girls continue to stack. I increased water today to about a gallon every three days, which I'm sure will drive the humidity numbers up. I really need to invest in an auto-watering system, lol. So far, I'm happy with these testers. They have been a non-demanding grow with zero problems, so far.

It's been a good week for the girls they're stretching into flower real nice. Plant height is 14 to 20 inches. I just got the dripper setup going at the end of the week and will be fussing with it till I'm happy. I will be watching the ph and ppm's in the res to make sure they're on point and topping off when needed. Thanks for looking😊

Canopy is very crowded, I am going to defoliate quite harshly on day 21. Apart from it being a little packed the plants are growing at a fantastic rate.

Throughout the week they’ve been topped, very very minimally defoliated (only fan leaves blocking light at the top) and some LST clips have been placed.

Toni and Tina's day finally arrived. 133 total days 53 Flowering. Interesting grow, first from clones mainlined (sort of). 9 mains on each plant. Wet weight trimmed is 942g. YAHOO! Hoping for close to a half pound of sweet sticky prime bud! Back next time with dry weight and whatever else I can come up with. MrYuk out!

Since that day I treated her soooo bad: just sometimes water, nearly no fertilizer, placed her inside a tent, in a glass house and sometimes even outside for days... I totally forgot when she started to bloom or how long she was even growing.

🌸 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.
