Moved the whole veg tent into the flower tent😍 Done the final flush on the 2 plants in the front of the tent, should have them cut down in the next 3 days to make some more room for the rest of the ladies! Everything seems to be going good so far! Fingers crossed for harvest & cure!🤞🏼✌️🏼🌱

Welcome! 5th week of flower and the ladies doing absolutely fine. Very rich odor when u open the tent. Pretty curious how every plant will turn out in the end. There is nothing much I could report, no pests, no diseases. So, I am pretty confident that this run will finish perfectly. If you want to have a look in those genetics, hit me up. I've several half packs left and I cannot grow all of them.... sadly😭😅 Have a good one! Oim.

Four week of vegetation and the canopy is filling up nicely. Lost the branch I tied back unfortunately. I need to make cleaner cuts in the future.

Week 1 Flower – Roller Coster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Lights Flipped, Ride Ascending The ride has shifted — welcome to Week 1 of Flower for the Roller Coster Haze girls. We’ve officially flipped the lights to 11 hours on / 13 hours off, marking the start of their journey into bloom. While they’re not showing any floral signs just yet (no pistils or preflowers), this moment is crucial, it’s the beginning of the shift, and everything that follows builds from here. ⸻ Why 11/13 Light Cycle? Most growers run 12/12 — and while that’s great for many strains, we’ve chosen 11/13 for a specific reason: 🌒 Shortening the light period can help trigger earlier flowering and more aggressive hormonal shifts, particularly in sativa-dominant or haze genetics like these. 🌘 In nature, light hours gradually decrease, and this slightly shorter photoperiod mimics late-season sun, signaling to the plant that it’s time to reproduce. In our experience, this encourages a quicker transition into flower, sometimes with denser stacking and better resin development down the line. The trade-off? Slightly less daily photosynthesis, but with the right lighting power and nutrition, it more than balances out. ⸻ Nutrient Shift – From Start to Top As we flip into flower, we’ve also transitioned our nutrient formula to support the shift in energy: • Removed: • Aptus Start Booster – previously used to support early-stage root development and vegetative vigor. • Introduced: • Aptus Top Booster – same application rate (0.25 ml/L), but designed to stimulate early flower development, improve transition timing, and lay the groundwork for bloom stacking. Why this change? Because the hormonal shift has begun. We’re no longer supporting root initiation, now we’re priming the plant for floral identity, helping her internal systems prepare for the stretch, calyx development, and bloom site stacking. Our base feed remains: • Regulator – 0.25 ml/L • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L • Top Booster – 0.25 ml/L ⸻ Growth & Structure Update These girls are branching like mad, spreading their wings and showing incredible vegetative structure just before stretch kicks in. Both phenotypes are looking stunning: • Pheno #2 & Pheno #3 • ~55 cm in height • Both with 8+ nodes, symmetrical branching, and healthy internode spacing. • Deep green leaves, upright posture, and zero signs of stress or deficiency. We’re expecting these girls to stretch considerably in the coming weeks, and we’re ready for the ride. ⸻ Environmental Snapshot – The Summer Stretch Begins Despite high temps, the girls are thriving. Here’s a readout of current conditions: • PPFD: 760 µmol/m²/s – measured via TrolMaster MBS PAR sensor, ensuring accurate canopy-level intensity. • Temperature: 31°C • Humidity: 50% • VPD: 2.23 kPa – yes, on the high side, but manageable for the moment. • CO₂: 632 ppm We’re aware that VPD is a touch aggressive, and we’re standing by for the arrival of the new AC unit to bring that back into optimal range. Still, the girls are handling it like champions, no curl, no droop, just upward movement and new growth. ⸻ Lights & Control Ecosystem Our lighting and environmental control setup continues to perform beautifully: • ThinkGrow Model One LEDs • Future of Grow LEDs • TrolMaster Tent-X Controller – managing: • CO₂ • Temp & Humidity • PPFD • Device sync • Spider Farmer GGS Controller for extraction fans • Dual 6” exhaust systems with carbon filters • One 6” filtered intake • All airflow dynamically managed via AeroFan + Spider Farmer extraction, allowing clean in/out cycles, keeping the air fresh and responsive. This is a precision ecosystem, designed to respond, not just run. ⸻ Final Thoughts – Lifting Off This may be Week 1 Flower, but it’s really the moment of lift-off. The girls are still pre-flower, yes but this is the space where momentum builds, energy collects, and the transformation begins. We’re shifting from vegetative growth into reproductive focus — and if this week’s energy is any sign, we’re in for a glorious bloom phase. The Roller Coster Haze journey continues , and it’s gaining speed.

Very variable weather, summer is at the end, temperature drops quickly, even 60 °F. I was out for 3 days, on my return I found the three girls who were starting to wither but they were promptly watered. No damage to report. The yellowing of the lower canopy has started. Acceptable weather forecast until 10 September. I bought 5 transparent PCV tarps to protect them extemporaneously from the rain. My beloved Gorilla rocks! Buds are forming and filling very well, super sticky and frosty. Strong citron/bubblegum scent. This sativa-like pheno is funtastic, she is not very leafy, leaves are narrow so the sun penetrate very well through the whole plant. It remains to be seen how the buds will fill up and if my girl can disprove the reputation for "quality buds but low yields" . Let's see. Expected harvest September 3rd week.

Vegetativo 22-11-2024 a 28-11-2024 Semana 1 22-11-2024 La plantula esta lo suficientemente desarrollada para colocar un timer y empezar el periodo vegetativo. 23-11-2024 Se realiza cambio de Solucion nutritiva con valores ajustados. 25-11-2024 Se mantiene en observacion, el primer par de hojas se ve quemado, deduje que fue por la potencia de la lampara los primeros dias, el calor emitido ocaciono esa lesion. 28-11-2024 Se ve un buen desarrollo y crecimiento de la planta.

Hello guys! So it’s the end of week 2 of flowering and all is going well. Been watering every 2 days and, as you can see, we have white pistils and small buds in every plant Not much to say, the ladys are green, stretching and growing buds as it should Yesterday i’ve defoliated one of the critical + 2.0 clone and next week I’m going to defoliate the rest of the plants. Just wanted to test when it is better to do the defoliation so it’s kind of an experiment Tell me what do you think of how this is going

Still going… since I got some positive feedback, I made a video. I think this helps so much imagining the size of the space! Daughter is doing great… cozy environment! And since day and night time schedule of my plant and my personal live aren’t in sync I do now own a green LED headlight, which - if it is working as advertised - shouldn’t stress the plants, when watering during the night. 11/15 new phone: Media Update

Hallo liebe Gartenfreunde 🙂 Es geht in die letzte Runde. Wie im letzten Update schon mal angesprochen, mussten wir von einer Seite des Haupttriebes was weg nehmen da es eher abgreift ist. Der Trieb wurde durchgehend nicht so gut versorgt wie der Rest der Pflanze. Dennoch, dafür dass sie sehr viel sich selbst überlassen war, ist es soweit ok. Wir hoffen sehr, dass sie nicht alt zu sehr vermännlicht. Ab und zu sieht man mal ein Vermehrungssamen. Olle Zicke sie 🤭 Im ganzen trotzdem ein tolles Experiment(9 Monate), tolle Erfahrungen, was zum Beispiel das Thema Erbgut angeht und insgesamt hätte es viel schlechter für solch ein Vorhaben über 2 Generationen und 2 mal kurzer Blüte registration laufen können. Die Reife der Trichome bei dem schon abgenommen sind Milchig und 10 Prozent ca. dunkle bzw. Lilafarbende Drüsenköpfe. Passt soweit, aber man kann schon mit bloßem Auge sehen, dass sie kaum Blüten Volumen aufgebaut haben. Aber es ist halt so 😇 Wir werden ab jetzt ins Spülen über gehen und zum Wochenende wahrscheinlich komplett Ernten. Alle zwei Tage wird Sie Wasser mit CalMag bekommen ca. 0.6 l und ab Freitag wahrscheinlich für 48 Stunden trocken und dunkel stehen. In diesem Sinne wünschen wir allen eine angenehme neue Woche und viel Erfolg bei euren Vorhaben! 🙌 Falls, vielen Dank für das vorbeischauen 😉 Viele Grüße an alle Gartenfreunde 😎✌️
