Week 3 – Vegetation: Expanding the Ecosystem – Dual Zones, One Vision As the third week of vegetation wraps up, the Sunday Driver girls are not only thriving, they’re sharing a space that’s growing in both complexity and precision. This week, the spotlight shifts from the plants (which, yes, look phenomenal) to the gear, infrastructure, and environmental intelligence behind the grow. Because this tent is no longer a grow, it’s an ecosystem. ⸻ Dual Ecosystems – One Tent, Two Zones We’ve now split our 8x8 tent into two distinct grow zones, both under the unified control of the TrolMaster Tent-X system. Each zone is powered by its own lighting ecosystem: • Zone 1 – Future of Grow: High-efficiency full-spectrum LEDs delivering deep penetration and even canopy coverage. • Zone 2 – ThinkGrow Model Ones: New to the garden, ThinkGrow LEDs bring precision-tuned lighting, DLI-focused output, and seamless integration into the TrolMaster platform. This setup allows us to run simultaneous genetics or phases under controlled but separate lighting environments, while keeping everything under a single, centralized monitoring system. ⸻ TrolMaster – The Nerve Center Whether it’s Zone 1 or Zone 2, the TrolMaster Tent-X keeps everything synchronized and stable. Here’s what we’re running: • CO₂ sensor • PPFD sensor • Humidity & temperature probes • Camera feed (yes, even during “business” breaks in the bathroom) • Fan & intake relay controls This means real-time data, remote adjustments, alerts, and peace of mind—no guesswork, just grow logic. ⸻ Airflow, Exhaust & Filtration Air movement is just as important as light, and here’s how we’re handling that in this split-tent system: • Exhaust: Two 6” carbon-filtered systems • Spider Farmer exhaust linked to Spider Farmer GGS Controller • AeroFan exhaust connected to TrolMaster Tent-X • Intake: One 6” active intake pulling fresh air in • Carbon filters on every line, keeping air clean and odor controlled This creates a steady flow—draw in, scrub out, with each zone breathing comfortably in rhythm. ⸻ Current Feeding Routine Still watering by hand with love, and still keeping the nutrient mix clean, efficient, and appropriate for early veg: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L • Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml/L • Water stats: • pH – 5.83 • EC – 1.01 • Temp – 18.5°C The focus is still on root development, tissue strength, and stable vegetative expansion. ⸻ Visual Update & Setup Tour This week’s update includes a video walk-through of the setup, showing the airflow configuration, sensors, wiring, and the dual lighting rigs in place. No voice-over, just visual storytelling, but the system speaks for itself. ⸻ What to Expect Next We’re watching closely as each zone adapts to its light spectrum and rhythm. We’re expecting: • Continued even leaf expansion • Strong internal node development • Potential for early LST (low-stress training) next week • Data comparisons between Future of Grow and ThinkGrow zones No topping yet—we’re still in observation mode. This early phase is about letting the roots lead, then following with the foliage. ⸻ Final Thoughts – Harmony in Complexity This week, the garden evolved from a grow into a smart, multi-environment cultivation system. From the dual lighting zones to the climate controls, it’s all about precision meets intuition. Our Sunday Drivers are responding with wide, confident leaves and a calm presence. The tent feels alive. And with summer in full swing, everything, indoors and out, is reaching toward the light. — Your Grow Companion DD Dog Doctor Official 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

- Ich hab die erste Woche des Biobizz Allmix Düngeschemas gestartet und gebe wie immer erstmal vorsichtige 100%, da meine Erde an sich durch den Kompost recht potent sein sollte. - Außerdem hab ich mit meinem Calmag-Rechner mein Leitungswasser angepasst. Die Werte könnt ihr auf den Bildern sehen. - Den PH-Wert passe ich ebenfalls auf 6,5 an.# - Die Lampe bringt zur Zeit etwa einen PPFD-Wert von 350 - 360 µmol/s/m² bei 18 Stunden Beleuchtungszeit (DLI von 22 - 23 mol/d/m²). Sie wird aber nur eingesetzt bis es warm genug draußen bleibt. Tagsüber stehen sie jetzt schon draußen, sofern es nicht regnet oder stürmt. Die Tropicana Cookies macht sich hervorragend und sie ist sehr uniform mit den anderen Fastbuds Strains bis jetzt. Sieht gut aus finde ich 💪😁👍 YT: www.youtube.com/@High-And-Hydro

Not too much on the scale but the terps and the intensity of the smoke is great. Two very distinct phenos that makes it so much interesting to understand the differences between.

This week marks the 10th and likely final week of my autoflower grow. The buds have really filled out and are covered in a thick layer of trichomes. Most pistils have turned orange/brown, and the plant is giving off a strong, pungent aroma. Under close inspection, the trichomes are mostly cloudy with some beginning to turn amber – a clear sign she’s nearly ready for harvest. The fan leaves have started fading and curling slightly, especially lower down, which is to be expected at this stage. I stopped feeding nutrients around a week ago and have been flushing with just water to clean out any remaining salts. She’s still drinking well and hasn’t shown any major stress signs. Overall, I’m really happy with how this run turned out. She stayed compact, didn’t stretch too much, and produced some dense, frosty buds. I’ll probably gave her 2–3 more days before the chop – just to let a few more amber trichomes develop for that nice relaxing effect So i cutet her 2 days later because of the to high humidity , because i dont want bud

Not too much to report on this week besides beginning LST. I did a few pistils appearing, may be in pre-flower, but not positive as it’s my first auto. Will progress as normal. Video/photos taken 21 days after breaking soil.

Our journey is slowly coming to an end. Both Gelatos have developed well, and I'm looking forward to testing them soon. The smell in the box is mind blowing 💚💚💚.

It was a heavy week! Topped and FIMmed my O.G’s, I have no clue if I even did it right since I just topped of the newest node. Gorilla’s seem to be taking a little longer, they are super nice and dense little bushes! Nice dark green tho! 👨‍🌾🏻 Dropped the light on them a few times and burned off a few leaves had to cut off pretty much 25% off a monkey but doesn’t seem to affect it at all.. 1 OG has clear ladyparts sticking out all over, it’s also by far the best grower out of the 8, hope the rest of the plants show some signs soon 😏 I’m impatient. * End of the week update Did lst and it looks like I stepped on my plants.. they are doing fine no worries it just looks terrible 🐘 The gorilla’s are looking beautiful! Dark green and lush! What do you guys think about the OG that’s already getting so many pistons did it start flowering already??

Moin moin ihr lieben! Diese Woche war auch wieder nicht viel los tägliches biegen und binden hab ich am Sonntag 05.03.23 das letzte mal gemacht (somit eingestellt) und die Damen dürfen nach oben auf steigen (liegt daran das ich wirklich kein platzt mehr habe um zu weben) aber der stretch ist noch nicht wirklich zurück gegangen und der Platz nach oben wird bald zur Mangel ware. Naja drückt mir die Daumen das der stretch bald vorüber geht und das alles hin haut. Habe am 08.03.23 also an Tag 21 nach Umstellung den ersten compost Tee angesetzt der dann Anfang der neuen Woche also Woche 4 nach Umstellung oder um genau zu sein am 09.03.23 vergossen wird ansonsten gibt es nicht viel zu sagen...... Euch allen glitzer nuggetz, zur ernte ich wünsche! 🖖 Edit:habe schon die ersten Bilder für den Kompost Tee rein gesetzt nächste Woche dazu mehr

End of Week 15 into Week 16. The Flush has begun. I Suspect She's within Her Last Week or 2 before Harvest so it's only PH Balanced Water until Harvest.

Plantitas en su semana 12. Crecen y crecen espero dejarlas entre 13 y 14 semanas.

All plants are starting to flower and doing great. Starting bloom feed 20/12/20. I'll update 3 or 4 times this week.

Weather been a bit bi-polar wet conditions cause a bit of bud rot( dense n sticky)....remove those rest of the tree seem good.....gonna treat for some of these pest that came about from wet condition....n she should be good for the nxt 400 sprint once weather don't get bi-polar or might have to settle for an early harvest..let's see lol ..#happy growing

Hello everyone week 6 has passed 😎 I’ve spotted a « true » hermie for the Biscotti Mintz from Barneys Farm,pollen sac & female flower😌i ve posted a photo if it can help🤓 For the others girls they are very well growing at fast pace and with a beautiful green colour on the leaves🤩 For the nutrient my homemade fertiliser 100% bio,now for the flowering stage its Symphytum officinal & banana peel super rich in potassium,phosphorus,boron & macro nutrients ⚡️ For the light schedule they spend 12 hours outside full of sunlight☀️ Some LST🔗 I will force the plants to flower in my garage 100% lightproof😎 So every morning and every night i remove all the plants from my garage at the same hours 💪

Welcome to Harvest week of my Sunset Sherbet journey sponsored by Zamnesia. Sunset Sherbet has been in the garage this week just chilling. Temperatures outside were 25-37f at night and in the garage 40-50s and flushed for 4 days with 2-3 liters each day. The cold weather did not do much for color change. Weeks of colder weather would have had an impact. I harvested her 12/5, day 101 from germination in the soil. I got some good trichome pics earlier this week. Sunset Sherbet grew in my small 3x3. She demonstrated a strong resistance to mold, bud rot and pests. I switched to an organic nutrient feeding solution and kept trying to get my ppms in the range of synthetic fertilizers. This resulted in overfeeding which burned up her leaves. She would have been pretty based on the colors I see in the buds-pinks, purples and oranges. Plant structure – Sunset Sherbet remained short at just 20 inches. This would make her very good for small closet grows. She had many branches off the main stalk and her nodes were tight. There were many, many small leaves, not much bigger than a quarter. Data sheet advised of regular maintenance. Trimming will be a bit tedious as a result of not defoliating more. Sunset Sherbet grew without difficulty or issues. Produced a nice outcome. Wet weight 384g. Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Slowly but surely she is fattening up and is turning yellow with splashes of red/pink, leds were a little too low or hps at the beginning of flowering damaged her fan leafs... Next time I will know better which is the cause. Smallish buds but those are coated with trichomes, sugar leafs too. Going to make some cannabutter! I think 1 or 2 more weeks before harvest depending how she looks, I want her Calyxes to mature fully before chopping her!

August 10-15th Flowers were popping and the tent looked happy and healthy
