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.

I cut the plants, remove the remaining fan leafs and hang the plants upside down inside the dark tent for 8 days.
After 8 days I trimmed the buds and put them into glass containers with boveda packs.
I burped the containers everyday for 10 minutes (first two weeks twice) for about 4-6 weeks.

Maroc was chopped this week.
The girl suffered from the endles rain we had last 10 days, enevitably she got mould.
Not fully ripe, another week would have been best. Still some nice trichs and i will probably end up making hashish from this one.
As do all off the female seed strains this year. The combination of early flower and the september rain this year took its toll.
Biggest buds were harvested on wednesday and rest of plant saturday.
Drying now in less than ideal conditions. Fingers crossed.
Hoping for better weather for the weeks to come. Lemon kush and the others really needs some more sunshine to finish

I’m baaaaack!!!
Sorry I’ve been away for a while. I’ve been busy getting everything together for the next phase…
Welcome to the Dude Garden 2.0!
I now have 3 grow areas. Two 2x4 tents (one for clone/veg, another for mothers) and a large 10x12’ish flowering area (its actually larger than that, but I’ll be conservative). The tents are running 300w LED’s and a T5 for the cloning/sprouting station. The flowering area has a 1000w HPS!!! I’m totally psyched to see how the HPS does with flowering for me. From all the research I’ve done It seems to still be undisputed that HPS is the best for flowering (but not so good on the electric bill).
I moved all plants from the tents to the new flowering area under HPS. That includes 3 Blackberry’s (FastBuds), NYC Diesel Auto (Barney’s Farm), DinaMed+ and Critical+ (DinaFem), Cream & Cheese CBD (Seedsman) and 3 Cherry Hemp (Elevator Supply Co).
With the autos You’ll see the first 2 Blackberry’s are getting close to harvest, but looking a bit funky due to the issues they had early on as seedlings. The 3rd is looking much better and will probably yield more than the first 2 combined. I do love the purple and the aroma is insane. The NYC Diesel Auto is looking very nice, the main cola is developing nicely and has great colors.
With the photoperiod plants, most are already kind of big considering they haven’t flipped to flower yet. I’m expecting the stretch to kick in at any time for these girls. I hope they don’t break the roof. The Dinafem plants are looking best so far at this stage IMO, but the Cream & Cheese CBD is looking very nice too. And I’m not disappointed at all with the Cherry Hemp plants, one is several weeks older than the other two, but the smaller two have a great node structure. It should be very interesting to see how these 3 grow from here. I expect the older one to be the largest at harvest, but the 2 little girls look ready to explode. We’ll see what happens.
I transplanted the photos from the 3 gallon grow bags to 7 gallon fabric pots. And also purchased some Pot Elevators that they are sitting on. The Plant Elevators are pretty cool, they have a mesh base to allow better drainage and air flow to the bottom of the pots.
I have clones of all of the photos cut and planted in Jiffy pellets in a humidity dome. I took 3 clones of each. The strongest clones will become mothers, the others will be grown out.
Note: The HPS gives much more of a yellow wash on the pics than I was expecting. I tried to color correct the pics the best I could and tried to get to the real colors, It should be pretty close.

Its been a rough ride, several acts of god throughout this grow, power outages, storms sprinkled with low evaporation and PH drama but I they're finally looking better than they have since starting this grow.. we decided its the perfect time to flower, we'll be turning the lights over later today...
..We had some space on the far wall of the tent so we'll also be flowering a Purple Ghost Candy, C99xBlueberry and White Widow (all by Seedsman) with the Kannabia strainsto optimize the area..
We'd like to get a time-lapse of their flowering stretch but with our power issues its going to be a gamble..thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! ❤️🌱

Not sure what more I can say that I didn’t say above. Patience, patience,patience! Veg longer with LED because they won’t stretch as much as you anticipate. They are very forgiving to a point and my nutes were organic until the end when I used kool bloom!to increase yield and made them a little unhappy. Cheers to dinafem for the best of the best when it comes to genetics!00

😎Gude zusammen,
nach langer Zeit mal wieder ein kleines Update die Gorilla Zkittlez ist jetzt ca. 3-4 Wochen in meinem keinen 40x40x160 mal sehen was wird hab so gar kein plan was mit der Pflanze los ist seit Licht Umstellung da nicht viel passiert.
Bei den andern bin ich mir nicht ganz so sicher, ob ich da noch mal was weg nehmen soll an Blätter
sonst ja ich der erste grow wo ich jetzt getoppt habe und mal sehen, ob es was wird, aber wenn ihr Tipps hab gern
und jetzt so ca. nach 5 Wochen mit dem BLUMAT SYSTEM muss ich sagen da Geld alle mal wert
Stay High
Hello everyone,
after a long time a little update the Gorilla Zkittlez is now about 3-4 weeks in my no 40x40x160 let's see what will happen I have no idea what's going on with the plant since the light change there is not much happening.
I'm not quite so sure about the others, whether I should remove some leaves again
otherwise yes, I'm the first grow where I've topped now and let's see if it works, but if you have any tips please let me know.
and now after about 5 weeks with the BLUMAT SYSTEM I have to say it's worth all the money
Stay high
😊

the 8th flowering week begins with a flush of 20l into a pot of 15l. the plant looks too green for the phase we are, so i needed to do this now. i stopped fertilizing also, but not royal sugar. in the first pic you can see a really smart method to do a flush. the flush brings the EC level from over 2000 to 1100 uS/cm. if there is need i'll repeat it few days before harvesting.

Explosion part 3!
This plant is considered Autoflowering, but I would say is most likely a regular one!
She is just HUUUGE, hopefully I was able to stop her growing but side branches reached the 83cm and almost touching the LED...
I've introduced Bloombastic (0.5ml per liter) and I will gradually increase till 1.5ml per liter and stop when will be time to flush.
Buds are getting bigger but I'm thinking that she will need at least 3 more full weeks... Hopefully with some good results at the end!
I obligatory defoliated her and also removed some small side branches, without any stress encountered.
I'll keep you guys posted, stay tuned, stay high!

Hi guys, so I'm down to the last 2 sherbert mimosa im starting the flush today with mollases and water for the next 2 - 3 weeks.
The fade is so nice, its frosty as fooook and smells amazing, about 60% pistils are Amber, these are the 2 biggest autos I have grown.
Iv dropped the humidity down to 35-40% now. I will add more pics soon as.
Thanks for following me and liking my pics and diarys.

Week 3: Vegetative Stage – Training, Defoliation, and Entering Full Flower
The Apricot Autos have really taken off this week. I’ve been doing a little defoliation here and there, but over the course of training and tucking, I sometimes get a little heavy-handed and manage to break the odd leaf. Even with these occasional slips (you can see it in the pics), the plants are still shaping up nicely and getting huge, though not as much as my previous grow, which was also Fast Buds autos.
By the end of the week, the plants have started to noticeably stretch, which I’m happy about since it makes them easier to train. At this stage, I like to train using mental pegs, gardening wire, and leaf tucking. I rarely remove any leaves until I have a clearer idea of the plant’s final shape, which did evolve quickly this week, prompting me to take action.
On day 27, one of the plants is entering full flower, while the one with the misshapen leaf is a couple of days behind. The difference between the two is becoming less noticeable, although one is still bigger.
Current Setup:
Medium: 70/30 coco/perlite mix with Great White Mycorrhizae added during transplant
Lights: DLI set to 22
Nutrients: Big Plant Science (introduced midweek)
Despite breaking a leaf or two during training, both plants are progressing well, with flowering now fully underway.

What a hot week! Temps outside the grow room soared and without insulation, so did the temps inside. Those calyxes are still swelling and new white hairs are popping out everyday. Trichs are still clear as crystal.
