Week 6 Report: White OG – Shaping Her Future 🌟 We’re at Week 6 of veg, and the White OG is thriving like a superstar! This week, I decided to take her structure to the next level by topping a few branches, and let me tell you—she’s loving it. 🌿 The growth is vigorous, and she’s shaping up beautifully to maximize her potential for flowering. Let’s dive into what went down this week and why it’s all so important for her journey. Branch Topping: Building a Strong Framework After recovering beautifully from her initial topping at node 7, it was time to refine her structure further by topping a few branches. For each branch, I left two nodes to ensure strong, healthy growth while encouraging a bushier canopy. Why Top Branches? Topping isn’t just for the main stem—it’s an essential technique for creating an even canopy and increasing yield potential: 1. Encourages Lateral Growth: By removing the top of a branch, the plant redirects its energy into the remaining nodes, encouraging side shoots to grow and fill out. 2. Maximizes Light Penetration: A bushier plant with more branches ensures that all parts of the plant get access to light, reducing shading and improving photosynthesis. 3. Improves Structure: A strong, evenly distributed framework sets the stage for a healthier plant that can support larger buds during flowering. The decision to leave two nodes per topped branch ensures a balance between promoting growth and avoiding unnecessary stress. Tent Conditions: Consistency is Key The room conditions this week have remained steady and perfect for her vegetative stage: • Temperature: Around 18°C—cool but manageable, keeping her growth steady. • Humidity: At 60%, maintaining just the right level to support her root zone and foliage. • Lighting: The Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 200 PPFD continues to provide optimal light for compact, strong growth. i will dim it up soon! These consistent conditions give her the environment she needs to recover quickly from topping and focus on building her structure. Nutrient Routine: Trusting the Pellets This week, I’ve continued with the Aptus Holland All-in-One Pellets as the primary nutrient source. They’re working their magic, providing a steady release of nutrients to support her vigorous growth. As a backup plan, I’m always ready to reintroduce All-in-One Liquid if she starts showing signs of needing more immediate nutrition. For now, she’s thriving, and the pellets are doing an excellent job of meeting her needs. Training and Future Plans Topping a few branches this week was just the beginning. I’m planning to continue topping over the next few weeks to shape her into a bushy, evenly distributed plant. By focusing on creating a strong structure now, she’ll be perfectly prepared for explosive growth when we flip her into flowering. Looking Ahead: Growth on Overdrive 🚀 As Week 7 approaches, I’ll be monitoring how she responds to the additional topping and ensuring her environment stays consistent. The goal is to encourage her lateral growth while keeping her stress levels low and her energy focused.

Day 63 This plant has been trained into a wide, flat shape, with multiple tops spread out evenly across the pot. The structure is low and bushy, clearly influenced by topping or LST, which has opened up the canopy for better light penetration. Leaf color is generally healthy, a strong green with decent vibrancy, though some variation is visible. The lower leaves show stress — one is yellowed and deteriorating, likely from nutrient deficiency (older growth being consumed) or simply natural fading. The canopy looks vigorous and responsive to training, but growth is still somewhat restrained; the plant doesn’t yet have explosive vertical energy. The root zone may still be recovering from earlier stress, but the overall appearance suggests it’s adapting well. Going forward, the key will be to maintain even watering and steady nutrition, supporting strong root activity. Some light defoliation could help airflow under the canopy and direct energy into the developing tops. If conditions stay stable, this plant should be able to bounce back and continue filling the space effectively. Ive got a little Problem with watering , she needs some time to recover

I'm in southern Ontario. Spring is in the air! Humidity levels have risen with rainfall, and temperatures are rising outside and inside my tent. I have been leaving my tent door open during the day and semi-closed at night. Plants in tent do not yet smell and I have my air intake/carbon filter, by VIVOSUN, turned off. During the day my small clip-on fan circulates. At night I let her rest in the cooler air and turn the fan off. May 2: Watered with a PH of 6.5, always using a bit of vinegar to PH down. Water included a pinky finger tip amount of crushed and stirred eggshells. Shells had been sitting in the water for 1.5 days. Shells did not enter the medium. Just the water they sat in.

What’s up dudes? Well, 4 weeks since 12/12 light schedule and it’s everything going very well. As you can see I started noting some brownish tips in some leafs what got me a little bit worried but guess it was just a little overfert. Back to using only biobizz nutrients Besides that, not much more to say. Just have to sit back, relax and wait for the lady’s to fat up 😂

6/22 Some pictures didn't upload but that's probably a good thing. As long as the video went up its good. I need to take less pictures. I'm glad I watered the plants in the back with a premixed gallon last night as we didnt get nearly the rain I thought we would. It's small showers throughout the day. The plants are getting enormous. A couple have revegged. Mostly the 10th planet. The others aren't anywhere near as impacted. Boy are some of these stalks thick. I chose to keep a couple plants that could be grown naturally without topping or fimming. I like to see the structure of the tree bit with humidity like this 98%rh it's easy to get botrytis. That's why it's good sometimes to have multiple bid sites so your proverbial eggs aren't all in one basket. But you do end up with a massive cola. I think that mk ultra with the big fan leavescis just going to be one giant bud. That's what it's looking like. Oh and today is the summer solstice. Longest day of the year.

Hey My 420 Friends. Very cruisey week this week,kicking back watching our Purple Princesses popping out more purples and bulking heavier day by day.Changed watering schedule to flush with ph adjusted water and dropping the nutrients.I also measured light and have lowered the Mars TSW2000 to get a higher Par reading but they are still at around 35-40 Cm from the light.Some girls branches needed abit of stretching to let lower light in and get more light and air distribution.I have also staked some for heavy bud support.Have got some close up photos of chromes….The girls are teasing me with there Trichromes,and heck I’m sure there not ready to go but there flirting with beautiful trichromes and just delicious smell of sweet Terps,PURPLE LEMONADE Flowers.This strain is my new favourite.Goodbye Purple Grand Daddy,We have a NEW Purple Power House around.😎🌱🤜🏼🤛🏼😊🍁💨🚬 https://growdiaries.com/grower/420highlifecouple https://youtube.com/channel/UCKvjJ_S8nRI2wTc4cx_O1KQ https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=616a33e294e50 With every order you will get a free seed Join the community on GROWDIARIES It’s a awesome place to meet cool people, document your grow and learn a lot from fellow growers, happy growing 😊🌱

After topping last week we've just been watching them grow. Bending down the branches to help them spread out. Over this next week I'll start my lst ties to help pull them down and out.

So, this week I cut phosphorous intake in half, and did a small cleanup job, removing some leaves. Plants look really healthy, except I would've expected they showed nitrogen deficiency signs since then, which suggest soil might be keeping some nutrients. Not sure if that's good or bad (certainly not a real issue tho). I started to flush yesterday; we'll see how it goes for the next few days. I already see a few amber trichomes, so harvest is either for end of week or next one. I'll have to travel a few days next week-end, so I try to sequence everything the best I can :) Also, I just heard about stem splitting, which doesn't seem to be a common technique among us; I'm not planning to do this to my plants (at least not yet), but I'd like to have your opinion on that; anyone tried ? What gives ? See you next week friends !

Tag 29: Die Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic von Zamnesia Seeds bleibt kompakt und kräftig. Durch den starken Blattwuchs werden die noch kleinen Ästchen beschattet. Diese in die richtige Position zu bringen ist ziemlich filigran. Tag 31: Die SF-Nematoden Kapseln für 6 Wochen Langzeitschutz sind gekommen. Beim Einarbeiten in den Boden muss es passiert sein, die Spitze ist gebrochen. Die Bruchstelle hat schon braune Ränder, kann also auch sein, dass ich das Biegen vor 2 Tagen übertrieben habe. Tag 33: Einer der oberen Seitentriebe hat die Aufgabe der Spitze übernommen und rennt los.

It's worth noting that the yield of this strain turned out to be small, and the buds were loose. Even with expectations set higher, the cultivation result left much to be desired. While the plant started flowering quickly and early, it failed to accumulate significant mass, adding a sense of disappointment to the equation. Confronted with these characteristics, I no longer harbor illusions about autoflowering strains. Though the experience with "Red Mimosa XL Auto" left a bit of disappointment, I've made a decision for myself—no more autoflowers in my future plantings. It's always better to be honest about one's expectations and experiences, even if it means foregoing certain strains in the search for the perfect fit.

02/08/25: We are entering the last few weeks of flowering and the smell is getting really intense from these two ladies! The Indica leaning Pheno gives a strong spicy/earthy aroma while the sativa Plant has a more subtle but super sweet fruity smell to it. So far i am really pleased with what I am seeing here, just need a few weeks more patience! 🤞🏼
