**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** If you like this week, please hit a like, it costs you nothing! 👊. Thanks in advance 😉! From/Desde: 12/08/19 || To/Hasta: 18/08/19 From day/Desde día: 21 || To day/Hasta día: 27 -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- V1: She's still turning with this size, but is lowering the total angle/week, of course she has stopped turning once topped. You can see at the end of the videos the clones i've taken from her. Anyway, 4 days after taking the clones i decided to kill them because i had to grow another 4 plants in September and it's going to bee too much work @time. P4: I did a foliar irrigation this day, and i'm not going to add it to watering calendar. I'm using non PH adjusted water with BAC Foliar spray + BAC Plant Vitality Plus + BAC Pro Active. P9: Pruning and topping time!!. I toped her at 10 cm exactly, abobe the 4th main internode. Also I pruned the first and second main internodes, so I'm leaving 4 main branches to create the plant, i will try to keep them all at the same height. Also i must admit that i don't like nothing the cable i used to fix them to the floor as it's potentially danger for the branches, it cuts like a knife!. Asap i will buy a good rubber covered cable for do the job. Also i will put one of my training structures in the floor, top supported by the 2 horizontal 6 mm aluminium rods i used to LST @images. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Well well well, prunning & topping time 😋!!!. This week temperatures raised a lot in my country full direct to 35º along day due to warm winds coming from inside land, what's called here "Terral", while it's a name, it can be translated as something similar to "Sandwindy" 😰😰😱😷😷. It's impressive how the Alice Kalashnikova (I de love more Alice than Avtomat 😂) did support those high temperatures like nothing. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 15/08/19 - 4,000 ml with all week nutrients @ 1 E.C. PH5.8 *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- V1: Y ella sigue girando a pesar de su tamaño, pero está reduciendo la cantidad de giro semanal, por supuesto parará de girar una vez le realice el topping. Al final del vídeo se pueden ver los clones que tomé de ella. No obstante, 4 o 5 días después de hacerlos decidí matarlos ya que tengo que plantar otras 4 plantas en Septiembre y se me iba a acumular mucho trabajo. P4: Realicé un riego foliar este día, ya que no voy a añadirlo al calendario de riego os digo lo que he usado. Agua sin ajustar PH con BAC Foliar spray + BAC Plant Vitality Plus + BAC Pro Active. P9: ¡Tiempo de poda y topping!. la he podado a exactamente 10 cm del suelo, justo por encima del cuarto nodo principal. También he podado los 2 primeros nodos, así que estoy dejando 4 ramas principales que intentaré mantener a la misma altura. Debo admitir que no me gusta nada el alambre que he usado para atarla a las barras ya que es potencialmente dañino, corta como un cuchillo. En cuanto pueda compraré un cable con cobertura de goma para hacer le trabajo. También pondré una de mis estructuras de entrenamiento sobre el sustrato y las mantendré fijas con las barras de aluminio horizontales de 6 mm que he puesto y que se ven en las imágenes -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Bien bien bien, ¡tiempo de poda! 😋. Esta semana las temperaturas han subido directamente a 35º debido al terral, es insoportaaaaaaaaaaaaaable 😰😰😨😨. Es impresionante como Alice Kalashnikova (me gusta mucho más alice que avtomat😂) soporta estas temperaturas como si nada. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 15/08/19 - 4,000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 1 E.C. PH5.8

She's very close, great smell. Fade is coming in hard, getting lots of purple in the top 3 colas.

Haven't seen too much calyx formation yet, just a lot of stretching. Waiting on the purple too🧐 I've been pruning out lower branches and leaves hanging close to the ground to help keep air flowing and humidity down, especially near her stalk.

This week was a bit of a struggle. Plant was moved to 5 gallon container and into a tent. It took me a few days to get the humidity under control but all is well now that I've got a little better ventilation. The only thing I'm very concerned with now is bringing the ph down to a 6.5 -7. I'm going to use distilled water instead of nutrient mix for the next week and likely will heavily dilute the nutrient mix before next feeding.

3 are really flowering, one is pre flower and one is still veg. Still all are quite healthy, no signs of seeds so lucky I seemed to have culled the male soon enough. The one I topped once is 2.3m but the ones I topped twice are only about 2 meters and started flowering first. Finally it is sunny and the plants are loving it. Looks like I have another 4-6 weeks of flowering before I can harvest

Changed watering to every 5 days water until runoff they seem to enjoy it. Signs of Thrips I believe so sprayed them with neem type spray hoping that does the job. Continued with LST and ponytailing. Defoliated a very small amount. Hoping that both Banana’s go into flower next week.

Well, there’s no ghost the VIVO sun pumps that come with the kits they just suck that’s OK. I replaced them with the upgraded version. I refilled the reservoirs

Day 30 Feb. 18th- I feel like everything is going great -all plants are now in final 7 gallon containers..have used a lot of soil! -I have been tying the plants down as much as possible -March 2nd will be 42 days and I think that is when I will switch to 12/12 -Day 35 Feb. 24th- I need trellis netting soon I retie branches constantly for inner growth HULKBERRY and GREEN GELATO are growing similar...LSD and ROYAL GORILLA are growing similar! -Very interesting!! * I have color coated the plants like I should have a couple weeks ago -GREEN GELATO has all green pipe cleaners now...HULKBERRY has all yellow pipe cleaners. very long branches and small inner growth LSD is in all purple pipe cleaners. tying it down has done wonders! it has awesome inner growth! Now the ROYAL GORILLA in all orange pipe cleaners! This plant is a pain in the ass lol. The inner growth and spacing is insanely close!!! so many shoots all tightly together. I have tied down anything I can. Unsure how it will work in budding next week

Harvest & Trim Report — RollerCoaster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Overview We’ve reached the end of the RollerCoaster Haze ride. After an intense and rewarding flowering period, the girls were harvested and processed with care. This is a full documentation of the final stage: harvest timing, drying method, trimming workflow, kief collection and pressing, and final yields. This harvest produced excellent results from two phenotypes — a true tribute to the genetics and the ecosystem we built around them. Final dry yields: • Pheno #3: 138 g (dry, trimmed bud) • Pheno #2: 224 g (dry, trimmed bud) Total dry bud: 362 g We also collected kief and pressed it into a beautiful resinous hash using heat and pressure; this sits alongside the cured flower and will be part of the upcoming smoke review. ⸻ Harvest Timing & Rationale The decision to harvest was made after careful observation of trichome and pistil development, the overall fade, aroma intensity, and the plants’ finish-line behaviour. The last weeks of the run had been dedicated to ripening: we completed the last balanced feed, then transitioned to plain water and a spectral end-season program (reduced whites/blues, elevated red/far-red/UV). These cues — combined with visible trichome development and the natural fade in the canopy — indicated the plants were ready to come down. ⸻ Cutting & Whole-Plant Drying • Each plant was cut whole and hung to dry intact. • Drying duration: two weeks (full-plant hang), at the environment you maintained (consistent conditions around your final stage set point). This allowed a controlled, gradual loss of moisture and preserved aromatic compounds and trichome integrity. • Drying environment was monitored and managed with the same attention as the grow: consistent airflow, humidity control and gentle circulation to avoid hotspots while preventing too rapid desiccation. (Notes: this section is a narrative of what i did. For clarity on local rules and safety, always follow local regulations and recommended practices.) ⸻ Trimming Workflow • After the two-week hang, the plants were moved to a dedicated trimming area and placed in the trim bin for processing. • Trimming method: primarily hand trim, using delicate, precise trimming tools and patience — “delicatessen and love” as i put it. The emphasis was on preserving trichome-rich surfaces while shaping each bud for appearance and even curing. • Hand trimming allowed you to selectively manicure the buds, remove the remaining larger fans, and leave the finished colas in a state ideal for curing and later consumption. The results were clean, visually appealing buds with intact resin heads. ⸻ Curing & Storage • Trimmed buds were carefully placed into Grove Bags for the finish of the cure. The Grove Bags are being used as the controlled environment for the slow biochemical processes that refine aroma, smoothness, and terpene expression. • The plan is to allow the flower to finish its cure under stable conditions until ready for the smoke review. This prolonged, stable cure should bring out the nuanced haze profile the genetics promise. ⸻ Kief Collection & Resin Press • While trimming, kief was collected from the trim and from screens. The kief was then pressed into a concentrated resin/hash using heat and pressure. • The result is a solid, aromatic hash — glossy and packed with the strain’s signature terpenes — a beautiful secondary product from the harvest and a perfect complement to the flower in the smoke review. ⸻ Sensory & Quality Notes • Aroma: intensely hazy — a dominant hay-sweet note with mature, layered complexity. The smell in the drying/trim room was strong and very characteristic of a classic haze. • Appearance: colors trending golden to warm yellow tones, heavy frosting of trichomes, dense calyxes and robust colas. The buds visually convey potency and quality. • Structure: each phenotype expressed the haze identity; long internodes on some branches, dense stacking on others — overall excellent structure that translated into heavy colas and great yields. ⸻ Recap: Seed → Harvest at a Glance • Germination: pillbox water method; seeds cracked and into soil within 48 hours. Gentle Aptus start mix supported early vigor. • Vegetative: bottom-watering to promote downward root growth; transplanted and vegged with controlled training and canopy management. • Flower: early flip to 11/13; progressive nutrition with Aptus + Plagron mix; inner canopy lighting (ICL300) to support middle/low bud development; spectrum tuning (red/far-red/UV) toward the end of flower. Final flush and plain water to finish. • Harvest: judged by trichome and pistil maturity, aroma, and overall plant condition. Whole-plant hang for two weeks, then hand-trimmed and cured in Grove Bags. Kief collected and pressed to make hash. • Yield: Pheno #2 — 224 g; Pheno #3 — 138 g (dry, trimmed flower). ⸻ Gratitude & Next Steps Thank you to everyone who followed this run — your support, questions, and shared passion have been part of what made this project so rewarding. The full smoke review will follow this harvest report and will be presented in 4K on YouTube, where we’ll document the aroma, flavor, burn, and overall experience with both phenotypes and the pressed hash. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Another great week for these 2. Lots of new crystals forming on the left one. I lowered the nutrient schedule for one week as I didn't want to ignore those early signs on one of the plants. Truth be told, if I had made 2 different nutrient solutions I could have still given full strength to one of them. Nevertheless, they are looking great. The smell however is a bit of an issue. The situation with the autos was 100% under control, zero smell issues. Not the case with this one. I even installed a new air filter and it still smell a tiny bit. It really is a micro amount, but it's annoying. First time I've had to think about any smell with this IKEA setup. Also, so far these don't look much like the real Purple Lemonade. The autos became really dark quite rapidly, I'm not sure these will get as dark.

Kong was an absolute trooper I have to cut her a few weeks early due to budworm causing bud rot. I will be trimming her down washing after removing infected areas. I hope i can save some of the fruits. After 6 hours i have 750g of flower washed and drying. Any buds that where on the same stem as the bud rot have been placed at the bottom of the drying wrack just in case the peroxide doesn’t work

Die Pflanze beginnt jetzt in die Blüte zu gehen, daher habe ich Sie heute komplett entlaubt, damit alle kommenden Buds genug Licht bekommen. Die Pflanze mag zu vorher zwar sehr dünn aussehen, aber wird sich nach 1- 2 Tagen erholen und umso besser wachsen. Ich habe nach dem 70% zu 30% Prinzip auch alle unteren Blätter entfernt, sie bekommen grundsätzlich nicht genug Licht und lohnen sich daher kaum zu behalten. Wenn man sieht das viele Triebe aufeinander liegen und dadurch Feuchtigkeit entsteht sollte man den schwächeren der Beiden entfernen, da es zu Schimmel während der Bud Entwicklung kommen kann. Je früher desto besser da es sich nur um verschwendete Energie handelt wenn man Sie später eh entfernen muss.
