Week 4 Report: White OG – Bigger Roots, Bigger Heights! 🌟 What a week for our White OG! 🌱 She’s had an epic milestone week with her first transplant into a larger pot and her first topping at node 7. Each step has been about preparing her for greatness, and she’s taken everything in stride. Let’s dive into the details of her journey this week and why these steps are so important for her development. The Transplant: New Home, New Opportunities 🌿 The first big move of the week was upgrading her from her small pot to a bigger pot with a perfect blend of soil and nutrients to fuel her next stage of growth. Soil Choice: PRO-MIX HP Mycorrhizae + Bacillus This premium soil mix is a grower’s best friend, designed to give plants a perfect foundation. Here’s why I chose it: • High Porosity (HP): Promotes excellent drainage and aeration, preventing overwatering and ensuring roots have access to oxygen. • Mycorrhizae: These beneficial fungi form a symbiotic relationship with the plant’s roots, increasing water and nutrient uptake while improving overall root health and vigor. • Bacillus Subtilis: A powerful beneficial bacterium that helps protect against soil pathogens, enhances nutrient absorption, and boosts overall plant resilience. This mix creates an optimal environment for strong, healthy roots to develop, setting the stage for explosive vegetative growth. Aptus Holland All-in-One Pellets: Nutrient Perfection To supercharge the soil, I incorporated Aptus Holland All-in-One Pellets into the mix. These pellets are a complete slow-release nutrient solution that ensures consistent feeding over time. • Key Benefits: • Long-lasting nutrient release (up to 2-3 months). • Contains macro and micronutrients essential for steady, balanced growth. • Supports microbial activity in the soil, further boosting nutrient availability. • Easy to use and prevents nutrient burn. By combining Pro-Mix HP with Aptus Pellets, she’s getting the best of both worlds: a thriving microbiome and consistent nutrition to fuel her development. The Topping: Encouraging Bushier Growth 🌱✂️ At the end of the week, I decided it was time for her first topping—a critical training technique to shape her growth structure. I chose to top her at node number 7, leaving a solid foundation for future growth. What Is Topping? Topping involves cutting off the plant’s main growing tip to encourage it to grow multiple main colas (branches). This redirects energy from vertical growth to lateral (side) growth, creating a bushier, more productive plant. Why Topping Matters: 1. Maximizes Yield: By encouraging more colas, the plant can produce more flowers during the flowering stage. 2. Improves Light Penetration: A bushier plant allows light to reach more leaves and nodes, improving overall growth. 3. Encourages Even Canopy: Topping helps create a flat, even canopy, which is ideal for maximizing light distribution. The timing of topping is crucial, and at node 7, she’s strong enough to handle the stress while still early enough to recover quickly and focus on lateral growth. Environment and Feeding Routine: Consistency Is Key 🌟 This week, the environment has stayed perfect for her needs: • Temperature: Warm and steady, promoting steady vegetative growth. • Humidity: Still high to support root development post-transplant. • Lighting: The Future of Grow (FOG) LED continues to shine now at 300 PPFD, delivering just the right intensity for compact, strong growth. Nutrient-wise, we stuck with the reliable Aptus Holland lineup: • Regulator (0.15 ml/L): Strengthening her structure and managing stress from the transplant and topping. • CalMag Boost (0.25 ml/L): Supporting chlorophyll production and preventing deficiencies. • All-in-One Liquid (1 ml/L): Providing her with balanced, immediate nutrients to complement the slow-release pellets. • Start Booster (0.25 ml/L): Encouraging her roots to keep pushing deeper and stronger. Looking Ahead: Building on a Strong Foundation Next week, I’ll be watching for her recovery from topping and monitoring how she adjusts to her new pot and nutrient-rich soil. I’m expecting explosive growth as she settles into her new environment and gets ready for the big stages ahead!

Day 65 : This lady started to make amber some of the trichomes. So today i flushed this mature lady with around 50L+ . Runout before flush was 1300ppm. After flush the runout was 400ppm. I decided to stop there. The plan is the next watering to be with pure water and when she drinks it chop chop. I goal for 15%-20% of amber. Now lets say that we are between 5%-10%. She has big heavy nuggs, not long but fat enough. LST was perfect on this lady, almost all colas are in the same height and growth. Edit Day 69 : The nuggs are very thick, Stills i don't see the number of them that i want. So i watered with pure water and continue till is ready. Leaves started to getting yellowish, so flush was successful.

She’s still stretching! This week I removed Voodoo Juice, Tarantula and Piranha, and added B-52 and Bud Factor X (never tried this one before). Since the princess loves this 2ml/L dosage for NPK nutes, I’ll not be touching that for the moment. That seems to be the optimal dosage for a sativa like this. Very nice!

9/7/2021-at the end of the cycle I thought that the flowers get bigger .. nothing to say about the quantity. a strong smell reminiscent of something sweet. the buds are hard and coated with glue. I am washing the roots. ready to harvest up to 2 days again and then cut. Sorry for me traslate 😅

This lady is getting HUGEEEE. I see the sativa in her already. Shes starting to pre flower but I would say shes also still got a long ways to go. I'm super excited to have the experience to run this cultivar. This specific variety was special for me as I wanted a heavy sativa in an auto. I hope you guys enjoy this diary as much as I. Check back next week to see just how fast she buds & remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!

1/9: packing on weight. I let em get a little to hungry before top dressing them, think it was about 3 weeks since last top dressing of 1/4 cup of craft blend BAS in their 3 gallon pots. So gave em a nice tea to catch them up. Added some kashi on top to help speed up the break down process. Smells are really starting to kick in. Not my favorite. Definitely spicy, limy, piney. But very loud. A lot of variation in The phenotype. Got 2 short bushy and two long and spread out, and one bushy and green and one bushy and purple. One plant I knocked over during transplant so that could have effected its pheno with stress. But the other is naturally short.

16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

Der Stretch ist bei allen Pflanzen abgeschlossen. Bin diese Woche bei den Photos auf Terra Flores umgestiegen. Hab leider keine Fotos vom Ende der Woche weil ich nicht zuhause war. Die Cookies Kush ist einfach am Purpeln, womit hab ich das verdient 😂 Die Zkittly fängt schon kräftig an Harz zu produzieren. Der Geruch in der Box ist langsam unglaublich. Die Skywalker OG sieht schon so weit aus aber es sind noch sehr viele Trichome durchsichtig und keine Bernsteinfarbenen in sicht. Hab ihr diese Wochr nochmal Dünger gegeben. Mal schauen wies aussieht wenn ich wieder zuhause bin.
