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.

So excited, been very busy again so I didn't pull as many leaves as I wanted, still pretty proud though. The smell is very strong, the buds feel rock hard. I'm going to invest in a 2nd dehumidifier before I start another run, 2 of the plants are WAY behind, both of them have been little jerks the whole run, starting from runty ugly seeds and limping the whole way, one is so sparce, the other "runty one, is actually way too compact, I didn't get it open enough early, so it has just been a little mess the whole time, she IS the frostiest, but her buds are tiny tiny, even the tops are tiny, but I will just make dry ice hash with that one and make rosin. I'm super stoke though, I need to clean the room pretty good this next week during my 1st week of flush to get ready for a harvest in 10-14 more days...

Hey growmies!
what a week for this plant, she responded wonderfully to the lollipopping and defoliation performed last week, in fact she started voraciously eating and i had to keep increasing dose and water every day. She did enter flower now, I have taken off a few more offshoots that wouldn't have yielded much bud and was crowding the canopy with tiny branches. Now was my last chance to take off said shoots, because this girl has started pumping energy into stretching, and now more of that precious energy will go into more dominant branches, that ultimately will yield higher quality flower.
Could I technically have higher yield if I left the little branches? possibly. but that weight would come in fluffy bud that choke out airflow and nutrients away from the pretty flowers, which in turn suffer.
the plant started stretching and she grew too close to her new lights, as a result all my tops have yellow tips, she should recover nicely however, I have raised the lights back to 45 cm above the canopy.
Speaking of canopy, this autoflower is pretty big, atleast in DWC, so if you're growing her, deffo ScrOG her.
Hydroguard keeps my roots pretty healthy, even during the heatwave without a chiller!
next week i will put in a second trellis, help her while she stretches! hope to see you then

Hey now, I hope everyone is having a great weekend. The ladies had another great week, I got the Durban Nights, Red Hot Cookies, and Sundae Driverr's second toppings completed on day 26, and I got the second toppings done on the Green Crack and Bubble Runtz on day 27. Right now I have 4 mains on each plant, and I will top each one this week, probably in the next 3-4 days which will leave with me 8 mains. So the mainlines will be completed during week 5, and I plan to flip to flower around week 7.
I am still seeing a couple holes on the leaves of the Sundae Driver, but I have treated her twice with neem oil and I don't see any new holes since the last application and I can't see any bugs even with magnification. I am still not sure if it was a bug issue or just a genetic thing. Either way I am not too concerned at this point because they all seem to be very healthy.
I am still feeding GH nutrients, silica, cal mag, and maxi grow. I will transition to flower nutrients approximately one week after flipping to flower. I have found that it is important to continue feeding plenty of Nitrogen through the stretch. The only way I would transition sooner is if I was running out of vertical space.
Still very pleased with the Spectrum X from Medic Grow. I am running her at 69% and the plants seem very happy and healthy. The heat and humidity are finally letting up in my region so it is nice to be able to open some windows and drop the temp outside the grow tent.
I hope everyone has a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪

Day 44 - the very light LST is great
a. the plant is really stretching out
b. there are going to be many colas
Day 45 - drinking alot of water
a. growing very well, vegging hard
b. added 4L to the DWC, 1000ppm
Day 46 - she is stretching upward
a. everything is going great, I love Fastbuds!
b. when all other breeders are failing us, Fastbuds shines through

11/17 Week 10
Ripley - Starting her on the Soul Peak very soon, low dose 5ml see how she takes it will reduce CocoTek on just her by 3ml/gal at that dose.
Keep defoliating her gently, dozen of so leaves every day or so just to keep buds open to light. No visible problems
Tara - The Beast - Ok now it officially the largest plant we have grown to date. With the pot its hitting 4 ft 8 in without 3 ft 2 in. The stretch has finally slowed to a stop and buds are beginning to quickly build... thank you God.
I was really wondering what I was going to do next.
Am going to have to bind her up a bit just for support tomorrow as those buds get heavy and she needs to give Ripley some room.
Also cleaning the heck out of the lower end tomorrow.
Keeping her CocoTek at current level with a Cal-Mag foliar every few days
1/19
Foliar Cal-Mag feed on Tara
Cleaned out the bottom of Tara, first pass at least see how it turns out.
Decided to put Tara on the same feed as Ripley see what happens as Ripley is building buds faster with the PK cant say that would hurt Tara,
No def so may as well
May be early but heck what do I know, on new ground here
1/20 So far so good, cleaned up Tara a bit and bound her up to give support and room for Ripley.
Buds building nicely crap load of them
Ripley doing well in the pK so will continue her protocol by slowly reducing CT and inc PK
1/21 Noticing some mag def on Tara and random Ca spots so getting a dose of Cal-Mag 3ml/gal as well as the foliar.
1/22 3ml/gal CalMag added to Tara feed
reduced CT 2ml/gal
Ripley on 5ml/gal CocoTek AB and 10ml/gal Peak getting her ready for flush
1/23 Going to try alternating between adding 3ml Cal-Mag to Tara's feed and foliar with same. Not a bad Mg problem but obviously one I cant ignore given its Ca as well.
Ripley on 6.1 Water and 15ml/gal Peak one more day then flushing to start week 11

Hallo Growfreunde, da bin ich wieder mit einem kleinen Update 🤗😁.
Heute ist Tag 5 nach der Umstellung auf 12/12. Der stretch sollte sich bald bemerkbar machen, aber sollte keine Probleme geben, Platz ist da😎💪. Ich habe diese Woche den Tank das erste Mal nachgefüllt, allerdings diesmal mit nur 20L, damit das Wasser nicht so lange steht. Es hatte sich ein kleines CalMag problem angedeutet, was sich aber schonwieder eingependelt hat. Entlaubt habe ich auch. Große Fächerblätter wurden entfernt, aber sehen tut man dass nach 2 Tagen schon nicht mehr😅😅. Ende Woche 2 werde ich nochmal lollipoppen und entlauben, danach wird nix mehr gemacht. Mal sehen ob der Dünger bis zum Ende reicht😅

It's time to harvest the seedless plants.
The pigeons were very disapointed that there were no fem seeds to be had in theses first plants.
The seed mothers need another week to reach the 35 day from pollination mark. You can see seeds in a couple of the photos. They're already turning brown.
The plants are very hard, full and frosty!
They smell like sherbert, and they all look alike.
I'm very pleased:)
Time to get these cleaned up, chopped down, and hung up to dry!

Flower time! Cant wait to see how she comes out. I have bent the main stem over a couple squares to keep her a little lower and spread out to be part of the scrog without topping her. Seems to have worked great and all the main colas are above the canopy but not too tall the are gonna block the surrounding ladies. She nice and snug in there making herself at home. I am expecting some nice and plump flowers from her as she looks very healthy. The root supplement and the folair feeding does seem to have helped a bit but i'm always cautious for placebo. The weights at the end will tell the tale. I already have quality down so I'm looking to raise the weight without sacrificing quality. I would also like to improve on my smell and flavors, have been steadily improving crop to crop and hopefully will keep that trend going for a long long time. Just a little better each crop with small techniques that add up to fat flowers!! She kinda blends in this week but the next week or two she will stand out again with her unique flowers
