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.

b. added 5L of fresh spring water, ppms 900ppm, she likes 800-1100 ppm
c. PH in DWC has been yellow the entire grow with hints the slightest hints of green from time to time, 6.0-6.1.
d. uploaded video of grow
e. like Pineapple Express, this plant will harvest a bit earlier than most of mine. pistils are turning colors fast.
f. trichomes are very milky, still some clear, no amber yet
Day 65
a. replaced the 5L gone in the DWC with fresh spring water
b. will gradually take PPMs down closer to the 700 range for the ripening phase, tamping down with spring water for a week
c. DWC has plenty of nutrients in it.
d. the buds are incredibly sticky.
Day 66
a. doing very well, the smell is very inenst, my carbon filter is not powerful enough to filter the smell... good thing I like the smell
b. 4L gone from the DWC overnight, added more spring water, ppms down to 840 to get ready for Ripen tomorrow at 800ppm, probably 10 days or so.
c. the trichomes are very milky, but there are plenty of clears still present. The pistils are turning nice colors, and no new pistils are forming!
Day 67 - Ripening Day 1 - only TA Final Part (GHE Ripen) 5ml/L
a. Started TA Final Part (GHE Ripen) at PH 6.0, 800ppm, she is loving it, consumed 4L overnight of Ripen solution

c. The trichomes are filling fast, no ambers yet.. The buds are noticeably swelling
Day 68 - Ripening Day 2
a. she is consuming 5L a day of ripening solution
b. the buds are becoming noticeably larger, thanks Ripen you always work well!
c. adding spring water to the DWC to top up and keep ppms between 600-800.
Day 69 - Ripening Day 3
a. 4.5L gone overnight from the DWC, will top up with Ripen solution to keep ppms 600-800
b. the resin is very sticky and smells amazing, rubbing a sugar leaf and the fingers stick together

6’-4” & 5’-8” as of today, 6’-0” average height.
These ladies are beautiful! Everyone who comes by the house just stops and stares when they get near my garden. So do I 👍🤣
I had to move some plants outdoors from my indoor grow due to losing the battle to high heat and humidity. Two are super close to harvest, one might get cut over the weekend. Feel free to comment and let me know what you would do. Thanks!

[DAY 36] - 6/7/2022
- 29°/30° and 60% RH average;
- TS 1000 set at 75% = 112 watts and 45cm away - After bending the plant has returned to about 38cm in height;
- EC 0.9 / 1 - PH remains fixed at 6.4, no matter how much PH down I put in the solution, it will always return to 6.4 after few hours;
------------------------------------ SCROG TIME AND DEFOLIATION IN SEVERAL TIMES ------------------------------------
- 8 PM - Lights on and scrog net mounted.
The scrog net is about 25 cm (10 inches) from the clay and I have tried (at my best) to space the individual branches in the various outer squares of the net.
In the next few days I will try to better fill the free squares to try to fill the scrog net completely.
- 6 HOURS LATER - I was very rude due my inexperience. Despite that, plant seems already recovered, it is drinking and the branches are already bending to seek the light.
[DAY 37] - 7/7/2022
- Just removed some leaves under the canopy who won't get light. I did defoliation in different times due I wanted no stress the plant too much, I hope it was a good idea.
[DAY 38] - 8/7/2022
- More defoliation
- Bent branches through the net;
- Added peppermint oil on the lid to prevent insects from getting into the tent;
- Today temperature is cooler, which is why I decided to keep the light off for only an hour. I took the opportunity to give the plant more light after the stress of the last three days to allow it to recover faster. It will go to sleep directly tomorrow at 5 pm until 9 pm, as usual.
[DAY 39] - 9/7/2022
- Mounted the carbon filter;
- Tried to fix the scrog but I broke a branch;
[DAY 40] - 10/7/2022
- Today I tried to lower the net but it is harder than I thought. By now the branches are stuck in the net and I was able to do very little.
- I probably made it worse, Before the branches seemed to me better spaced and now I'm afraid of forcing my hand too much, I risk getting even worse.
For a couple of days I leave the plant alone, it's not growing so much;
- EC 1.1; PH 6.2-6.4; Still drinking about 2 l/day;
- TS 1000 set at 75% = 112 watts and 45cm away from the center of the net. The branches on the sides are going up and slowly approaching the lamp, but I don't move it higher because I want a strong light to arrive in the center to allow the lower branches to rise and reach the others. We hope well
- I am worried that I've stressed the plant too much, there are numerous branches (even recent ones) with a color tending to red / purple. I hope she recovers well and will try to stress her to a minimum in the next few days. For the first time I had to take care of the plant directly, handling the branches and defoliating. Surely someone more experienced would have done a much better job than mine. Get back soon HULK
[DAY 41] - 11/07/2022
- EC 1.3; PH 6.4 - Temp. 28° / RH: 50%;
- Today I started raising the EC from 1.1 to 1.3 and the plant reacted well.
I used the solution prepared 2 days ago with: demineralized water EC 0 / 0.4 g/L SILICATE / CAL-MAG up to 0.35 / A + B + HYDRO BOOSTER + 1/2 dose of BLOOM STIMULATOR for a total of = EC 1.3.
Having to add 2 liters to the DWC, I raised the EC of the made solution from 1.3 to 1.7 with the only addition of CAL-MAG => TOTAL EC IN DWC = 1.3.
The plant seems to react well, after 6 hours the water level has dropped and the EC dropped from 1.3 to 1.2. The plant shows to be hungry, especially for CAL-MAG. Over the next few days, I will keep EC levels well monitored and act accordingly.
- TS 1000 set at 75% = 112 watts and 45cm away from the center of the net. The branches on the sides still are going up and slowly approaching the lamp. I start to see very few leaves with yellow tips, if it continues like this, I move the lamp 5 centimeters away from the center;
- For the moment I stop with the defoliation for 10/15 days, on the advice of @SwissKush
[DAY 42] - 12/07/2022

Blue gelato 41 took a little work to figure out her likes and dislikes but it was definitely worth the wait , the smoke is smooth and potent as hell,
She seems to need a lot of light, the tops by far and away blow the lower growth out the water, I won't make the mistake of having her in a corner of the tent again knowing her potency and flavour 😎👌💪👍
Enjoy this girl if you give her a try growmies 😎

Stayed short and stocky throughout it’s life. Had lots of leaf to deal with, but other than that there were no issues and it was an easy grow made easier by the grow dots. Added them early in veg and only added filtered water that was not pH adjusted after that. Grew some nice frosty buds that reek like juicy fruit and garlic.

day 49 just pure water phed down.
it is day 51, morning before lights on, I might chop today. I use a zero water filter pitcher got off walmart. My humidifier is only a sonic wave. If you use regular tap water it will get gunky in a sonic humidifier. If you have a heat humidifier that boils the water the mist should be clean. These are the 2 types of water humidifiers. Researching best water filters this "zero water" also comes with a free ppm meter! yay! Other water pitcher brands; the water still has ppm. So water misted will still have ppm contamination. You can easily used distilled water only, and reverse osmosis. I just fill a 4gal office water jug with the pitcher and fill my humidifier when needed. I do not use a humidifier in my entire grow up to this point when I chop, I need the perfect rh or this whole effort can fail. growing up to this point only requires 20% effort, chopping now for the 2 weeks dry is this 80% of crucial determination, succeed. A lot of tasks are required today for a clean chop. I feel confident, observed my cross seeds with pink paradise and one with a slightly open caylex looks dark enough for successful germination. I figured 8-16 seeds may be created, 3-4 buds were potentially pollinated. Many growers don't understand when creating genetics with female/female there is a slight chance of herm. You lose 50% of your genetic function. Just water last 2 days, no humic no folvic, 1st time entire grow ha!
There is a lot of cleaning to do, remove the trees, clean the entire tent and environment with bleach water, hacksaw.
I am very proud of my grow. I have sampled 3 of the strains, dr. thunder legit made my lips numb but it could have just been the terps removing my skin cells from the sticky filter, no lie. This is my best grow to date. I did this for you, and to document hype or not under the best conditions I could give my plants, full max potential, although I wish I had more lights, I am not looking for industrial lol, this is how I grow. Learn a lot on youtube and podcasts there is many good content and I may dab into it. You can have a room full of growers and you have 1 seed in your hand, they will all tell you that their way is correct ;) and the best way. Oreo is stinky AF, Bridal is just amazing glad its massive, just not into sativa but the test seemed slight sativa with majority indica, pink untested, dr, thunder just a lip numming plant aha, its very nice, all 4 amazing appeal like advertised, and excited for next run. Either crosses from this or other copycat genetics.
I will give you beautiful glamout shots today, the sizes of the plants, My guesstimate bridal 1lb, thunder 1lb, pink, 0.4lb, bridal 0.5, I am ambitious off 640w lm301h, and 4x 20w blurples daisy chained.
day 51 4 chopped see you in a few weeks :D

Flower41, riego con EC 2.6 y pH 6.3, los cogollos están muy gruesos y densos, definitivamente este cultivo debería ser mucho más productivo que el anterior.
Flower44, riego con EC 2.5 y pH 6.2, a un par de días de terminar el proceso y cosechar.
