I maxed out my nuits on the chart before I flushed and switched them. First attempt on scrog looks like I know what I’m doing but i probably don’t lol.

Still shooting up... lots of stretch but she’s slowing down. Hoping she really stops soon. She’s already past the light and I had to angle my lights sideways to keep her under the lights. No burn noticeable which is interesting to me since seedlings tends to burn under this light. Ignore commentary on video... I was recording for a friend who has a clone of one of my PT plants and she asked about size 👩‍🌾🏼

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.

Hello Growmies, Our week 13 marks the harvest of the Watermelon Candy strain, a reflective moment that encapsulates our journey. With a wet harvest tallying at 419 grams from three plants, it's evident that the repotting process played a pivotal role in our yield outcome. Despite this, the harvest, although modest, is a testament to our plant's resilience. Throughout this grow, our meticulous environment control, courtesy of the Mars Hydro setup and TrolMaster's precision, ensured our plants thrived in stability. This experience has highlighted the delicate balance of growth, particularly how repotting can significantly impact our plants' performance, with only one plant weathering the change successfully. This cycle's standout plant serves as a beacon for what could be achieved. It exemplifies the sheer potential of a well-timed and well-executed grow strategy, paving the way for future harvests that align with our high standards. A heartfelt shoutout to Patricia from the Zamnesia Family is in order. Her consistent support has been instrumental throughout our growing endeavors, enabling us to share our story with a wider community. Let’s also appreciate the stellar TrolMaster team—Sascha, Ying, and Caren—for their expertise and guidance, which has been integral in refining our grow environment. As we bid farewell to this cycle, we carry with us the valuable lessons learned and an eagerness to apply them moving forward. We embrace the quality of our Watermelon Candy harvest as a clear indicator of our dedication. Looking ahead, we anticipate future grows with optimism, ready to optimize and advance our methods for even greater success. Stay lifted, stay curious, Salokin P.S. Reflecting on this harvest's scale, we're inspired to strive for excellence, fueled by the guidance and support of remarkable individuals like Patricia and the TrolMaster team. Here's to the promising yields ahead that they'll help foster.

Okay so the result of my LST surprised me like a lot. The plant looks great under the light, it’s still my second grow so I hope to learn a lot about the beautiful plants and how they respond. I want to experience everything to learn from them and know how to respond. I think this week went good but the dry wet cyclus is something I really needed to learn this week. I first tried watering every day but i noticed that the soil wasn’t dry at all, so I thought no that’s maybe just the soil. *Ive learned this cycle in the next week* spoiler alert: it wasn’t I still give around 1 tbsp of the molasses because the plant is really responding good to it. The small plant is also looking healthy so perfect, just keep giving her love. I did a big oops: So, the plant grew bigger and bigger and faster then I could keep up. So I decided to lst some more, Olga went perfect and I build a lot of confidence from that. So... busy with the other “big” plant and I started doing the head top, but the band was just to tight, but I noticed that to late *SNAP*. Did I just snapped the biggest branch of the middle plant? Yes, I hated myself for 4 days until I thought: there are no mistakes, just happy..... (fill in with your brainpower) well see what happens

I have been training this one for a while, this is a rare lemonade pheno of strawberry lemonade which is totally leaning to the lemon side but not like a lemon skunk or lemon haze. It’s very lemon/diesel/sweet. Probably the nicest lemon type terp I have seen and can’t wait to get this one to the finish line

| 📅 Week 3 | Days 15 - 21 | 💡 562w 📏38' | | 🌡️️🌞 78 - 82 | | 🌡️️🌑 73 - 77 | 11/23 Reservoir swap with increased nutrients and PH adjusted to 5.8. The plants have been spread out a little more to give them space. 11/24 Temperatures are fine however humidity could use a bump. PH in reservoirs adjusted to 5.6. 11/25 PH adjusted to 5.8 and reservoirs topped off with water. The PH fluctuations have been rough for this strain. It doesn't seem to like the Hydros wavering PH. 11/26 The light was raised a few inches to match growth. PH adjusted to 5.8 and the humidity is still lower than I would like it to be. 11/27 Reservoirs topped off and PH set to 5.8. Fans adjusted to better circulate the air around the tent. 11/28 Daily PHing and reservoir topping as usual. The back right plant is still doing its silly genetic thing as i'm sure it will all grow. Debating on cutting it early and saving the time and tent space. 11/29 PH adjusted to 5.8 and a single reservoir needing topped off. Plants appears to be rebounding from PH fluctuations but its to early to know for certain. This marks the end of week 3 and the growth was fine and fast like expected from this breeder. The plants have started showing sign of PH fluctuations as these genetics don't seem to enjoy hydroponics to much, however I'm confident in them developing resiliency as they grow and getting past it. I am debating doing a PH twice daily to minimize the PH window. One shows nitrogen toxicity. With these being Autoflowers anything that slows them down is a problem so we are going to see what we can do to minimize the effects the fluctuations have on these plants. I'm confident they will be dank in a few weeks 😎

Week 8 Veg – Go Big or Go Home! 🌱💪 Hey, Grow Fam! 🌿 What an intense week it’s been in the grow room! This was one of those “go big or go home” moments, and I decided to take it to the extreme. I’m holding off on flipping to flower for just one more week because the plants are filling up the space beautifully—I can’t help but push things to their limits and see just how much these ladies can give! 😎✨ This week was all about maximizing growth and creating the best canopy I can. I did a light defoliation, just here and there to open things up a bit, and then came the bending—LOTS of bending. 🌱 I’m working hard to create an even canopy, though with all these different genetics, we’ll see how close I get! 🤞 Regardless, I’m giving it my all, and I’m super pumped to see how everything will respond in the next stage. The final touch this week? I ended it with a bold 36 hours of darkness to prepare for the big flip next week—flower mode, here we come! 🌸 What Went Down This Week: 1. Canopy Work – Bending and training all over the place to try and keep things even. It’s a real challenge with different genetics, but the payoff is going to be worth it! 2. Defoliation – Just a little bit of leaf removal here and there to help with airflow and light penetration, prepping them for that final veg stretch. 3. 36 Hours of Darkness – Closed out the week with a full day and a half of darkness. The 36 hours of darkness is a technique I like to use to help signal to the plants that it’s time to transition from veg to flower. 🌒 By giving them an extended dark period, I’m mimicking the natural shift from summer to fall, when daylight hours start to shorten. This kick-starts the plants’ flowering hormones (phytochrome), helping them shift into flower mode more smoothly and quickly. In my experience, this method helps speed up the flip, reduces early flowering stress, and often leads to a more uniform bloom across the canopy. It’s like giving the plants a little nudge to let them know, “Hey, it’s time to bloom!” 🌸 This technique is especially useful for growers like me who want to maximize the efficiency and performance of their plants. 😊 4. TrolMaster + App Love – As always, the TrolMaster app continues to blow me away. We’re going to dive deep into it below, but trust me, this app makes managing everything a breeze! 👇 Next week, we’re flipping to flower! I’m beyond excited for what’s to come, and I can already tell these plants are ready to explode with growth in flower mode.
