Vegetation Phase - Week 5
Week 5 marks a bittersweet milestone. RIP to the Marienkäfer homie — gone but never forgotten. Their watchful eyes and pest-snacking legacy will forever live on in the tent. Meanwhile, the Donutz gang is thriving and about to hit the next big step in their journey: the 7-liter pot upgrade.
Updates & Changes:
RIP Marienkäfer: Nature giveth and taketh away. The tent feels a little emptier without our little guardian, but pest pressure remains nonexistent thanks to their diligent work.
Transplant Time: The plants are moving up to 7L pots this week, giving their roots the room they need to expand and thrive before flipping to bloom. This upgrade will ensure a strong foundation for the explosive growth coming soon.
Watering: Still sticking with reverse osmosis (RO) water for maximum control and cleanliness.
Plan for Flower Transition:
After the transplant, the plants will chill for the rest of the week in their new homes to recover and adjust. Week 6 will cover the flip to flower. With the clean lollipopped structure and solid root development, these plants are set to focus all their energy on producing hefty main colas in the Sea of Green setup.
Observations:
The Donutz are stacking beautifully, with healthy green leaves and strong stems.
The SOG canopy is filling out, and each plant is shaping up to deliver a uniform, productive grow.
Next Steps:
Monitor the plants closely after transplanting to ensure they adjust smoothly to the 7L pots.
Maintain stable environmental conditions to avoid stress during the final veg phase.
Prepare for the flip to flower in Week 6 — the real show is about to begin!

Starting to get some nice frosty flowers. The cycling UVB has really made the terps start early. When getting a little bit of the sticky residue on my fingers it has a fruit loop sort of smell.
Regular tea and water regimen and weekly nutes. I plan to add another layer of topsoil with nutes next week.
Humidity control has been a slight issue. After watering I am typically hitting 80 - 85 rH - so will need to watch this. I could open the grow room door to reduce the rH but then I lose the CO2 buildup. Will stay the course for now.

Day 102 since seed touched soil. Again troubles .... Came to check them and found tent dark. Normally theirs day was in the night, now one day we again had no electricity and everything moved 8 hours, so day is day now ....
Humidity spikes as hell. I dont want to make wounds, so no defoliation ... just too big of a risk to damage or bring infection in ....
Ground level 99% rh, canopy level - 85, lights level - 80 .... never grew in such hight, i did in 65-70 without problems, but this goes overboard ...
Drinking slowed down, will reduce volume by 20% next watering. One more feed left.
Keeping sticky pads as prevention and it helped to catch 50 or so bugs and maybe prevent infestation. Gnats mostly ...
This this girl is most behind, she is heavily overcrowded , would need defoliation , will be many airy lime green buds, but ill still smoke them ;)))
10 days till chop !!! Hope no bud rot !!!
Happy Growing !!!

So far, so good! Stretching is almost done I hope. They are starting to stack on the buds.
Still seeing discolouration on the one plant. I’m was going to go full strength. But I think my problem is nutrient lockout from overfeeding. So I did a plain water on day 69.

At first glance she looks pretty unfinished. Checked a tester bud under the scope and the trichomes were fully cloudy. Never seen that before... trichomes that far along while almost all the hairs are still white 😅😇

On day 1 the rez is at 6.2. The highest cola is 8.5" from the light.
On day 2 the rez is at 6.2. The highest cola is 7.75" from the light.
On day 3 the rez is at 6.1. The highest cola is 7.5" from the light.
On day 4 the rez is at 6.3. The highest cola is 7.125" from the light.
On day 5 the plants are smelling and doing well.
On day 6 I changed out the rez and PH to 6.1. The highest cola is 7" from grow light stretch is deff slowing down and should be over shortly. My avg PPFD at canopy is around 800.
On day 7 the rez ph is 6.0. The highest cola is still 7" away from light 😅 close but not too close in my small space.

Hey All!!,
Huge growth week, and we have moved into the flowering stage. These girls were 24/25 days old as of Sunday the 24th. They are all now between 14 and 17 inches tall, which is about double in one week. The tallest went from about 8 inches to 17 inches in just 7 days. I fed them twice, mid-week prior to last Sunday they got CaliMagic and Regenisys and then last Sunday the 24th I fed with Nector of the Gods and did start the Terpinator. Today is Wed, Dec 4th and they are about ready for another drink.
They look really good, nice and green and they have just a faint berry smell.
The one area I could have done better is with my LST. The dang things grew so fast last week that I just got behind, I should have started a few days earlier. However, once I did the LST they began to fill out nicely. I stuck 2 videos in, one prior to LST and one after I had finished. You can see how much the branches were being covered as the leaves were not growing very quickly. They are much happier now being spread out.
Quite happy with the progress so far.

I increased the amount of nuts to:
- 0,25 mS/cm - Calimagic
- 0,6 mS/cm - BioGrow
- ph - 5.8
Started the LST training by day 40 and also took the box that was underneath the pots to increase the light distance.

The ol lucky 13 is hanging in there. Doing her thing. She is smaller than the FBTO1 but looking healthy. She is starting to show signs of transitioning to flower. Hope to see a little stretch on her over the next week. I have been plucking some leaves from the top to get light to as many buds as possible. Also cleaned up a few lower branches that were never going to make it to the top. Going to keep plucking a few here and there as she stretches. I totally neglected their water running it 2 weeks without checking it, but I kept an eye on the leaves and there were no issues. I gave them a flush and fresh nutrients today. Started them on a little maxibloom. Will probably start some liquid Koolbloom next week. She is under a galaxyhydro 140 watt but there is 1000 watts total led running in the room so she is getting some extra light from those.
Nutrients per gallon
.5 tsp maxigro
.25 tsp maxibloom
.5 tsp calimagic
Ph to 6.0

I started getting new growth from the tops of my colas. I thought this might of been down to raising the light up 10cm but it might of been down to high light intensity so I also moved one abit further away from the other to try and help.
The pictures in the dark and videos was around 4minutes before the lights came on as all my photos are over exposed.
Next to this plant I have an experiment with pink kush and zombie kush using the light given of from this grow.

Definitely would’ve been better had I not moved but nonetheless it was a great run overall, super frosty and sticky with not very dense buds which made for a difficult trim but I didn’t mind.

Tried my best to hold on but had to abort a week earlier than planned. Rot continued to grow and I wasn’t sure how bad it had spread in areas I couldn’t see. Luckily I think I only lost another 6 ounces dry, maybe more, not sure really as I binned immediately if I came across any abnormalities. Trimming took around 10 hours with 2.5 people.
She will now be hung up for 5 days to dry, hash will be made from trim tomorrow.
Harvest figures with some better photos will follow in a weeks time.
I am going to move back down to 4 plants this time, 6 was a bit too much for a space I struggle to access. I’ll take more care to trim lower growth tips next time to increase airflow, as I was chopping I realised just how dense the undercarriages were. I am also changing my lights to a lower wattage as I think I blasted them a bit too much during this grow.
Have already vaped a couple bowls and am really impressed with the flavour profile, she hits more like an indica vs the last grow and the stone is certainly heavier.
Hopefully I will be popping some Orange Sherbet seeds before the week is out, stay safe peeps 😷
