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.

These ladies are growing great. After being transplanted last week they've definitely doubled in size. I did some defoliation today taking off the first set of branches and fan leaves that were at the soil level. All in all Happy Growing

Well it been a week since the move indoors and she is just getting accustomed to the new surroundings. Things took a couple days pause and had no growth for the first few days but she seems to have finally started to fatten up her flowers again. She is drinking about a third less water than before but maybe that will pick up some more as well since her flowers are getting bigger. She is pretty sparse in terms of vegetation so will only remove leaves on a must need basis only. Watered her this morning and she received a low dose of calmag and bloom nutrients ( King Kola) by Emerald Harvest so should see an increase in flower size shortly. Have been increasing the duration of light each night and am currently at 18/6 have been toying with the idea of going to 20/4 and beyond to get the DLI up into flowering requirements. We are stuck at 450 PPFD so I don’t think I can her too many hours of light per day. I will be watering the other two girls later today with a update for them also.
Harvey Wallbanger. Miss Harvey is recovering well. Every day is better than yesterday and the past forty eight hours have been very good with her flowers starting to grow again. Trichomes and terpines have started to show up and she is going to be very sticky and have a pleasant sweet aroma. There are already fan leaves covered in trichomes and we have only just begun the process of flowering. She lost so much during the assault. She was going to be truly special. Maybe she will still be special we will see.
Vanilla Fizz. Ms. Fizz, alive and well. Had us scared for a while as she was slow to respond for a couple of days, no growth after her assault and subsequent relocation took its toll on her but happy to see things have turned around for her and now even doing better than expected. Prayers help. Flowers are growing and she has a certain perkiness to her that is inspiring after all that she’s been through. She is a bushy girl and removed a fair amount of foliage and will need to do some more later on some here some there. Trichomes and terpines arrive and are in abundance for both. Everything is covered in trichomes even fan leaves and smells like my Uncle John’s vanilla French toast and my Aunt Shelly’s Guava jelly, amazing!
*Update Day 68* 91 Grapes
She is doing well, blooming! Her flowers have decided to start growing and swelling in good ole Chem91 fashion, kind of just stacking up upon the flower below, and dense! Orange pistils have arrived and she is going to be pretty showing off an array of colors soon enough. With her being in flower mode and needing some extra energy decided to up the lights to 50 power despite my concerns for that being too high of power. We will see. I can always turn them back down if I see a problem. I hope to see a significant increase in flowering soon!
Vanilla Fizz. Ms. Fizz , we’re going to start calling her Ms. Fuzzy, she is so covered in trichomes! Bushy my goodness I have never had a plant with so much vegetation. I have seriously removed over a hundred leaves already and there will be more many more. But she is amazing in terms of smell, if you have ever smelled distant scent of a guava tree you would have an idea. Throw in just a little skunk and you nail it. She is going to be a sticky bitch to trim when the time comes.
Harvey Wallbanger. Miss Harvey, has the assault behind her now and the continuing rehab has proven to be beneficial. She had such perfect form and even after all the injuries she still shows off her balance. I picture her in a massive hotel lobby in a tropical destination in a corner where the elevators are. She was so perfect. Pinkish orange hairs now accompany her beauty as she displays the deepest of green fan leaves. Trichomes encapsulate the entire flower and she has a very floral scent. She seems to be the furthest along at the time. But we will see.

08/29/24. Going into week 9 flower
Day 65 out of the stated 71
Supposed to be 6 days left, but I’m thinking probably 2 weeks more.
I’ll be checking trichs again today. Last I checked, a few milky.
Nothing to report really. Giving nothing but water from here and decreasing light intensity to about 55%
Will update if anything changes.

I was focused on harvests and other stuff and neglected this diary. They spent the whole week in the tiny tent under 300w in 1- gallon pots, then I took them outdoors and transplanted them into 3 gallon pots.

After such a fast and strong germination I was horrified to find that the seedling was wilting. However after leaving it a day and removing the cup that was over it I’m pleased to say that things are back on track. 👍🌱

So this week has been interesting for the gorilla and blueberry.
They are packing on some weight especially the gorilla the buds are getting super fat.
The zkittlez has been a lost cause for a while now. I decided to cut this down once I started to notice some amber trichs. I'll update and put in a harvest once this is dried and trimmed in about 7 days. There wont be much there. Will mainly make hash from this and edibles. My screens are on the way to make some nice sift.
I genuinely think I'll be lucky to pull 3.5gs of dried smokable bud.
I am now flushing with plain water both of the remaining plants and I am hoping the gorilla can hold off for another 2 weeks so I can cut these both down at the same time and utilize my tent for drying.
These should more than make up for the disappointment of the zkittlez. I had 3 oz in my head as a good yield from this first grow and I'm confident I could make 4 by the looks of these plants.
There is some nice fading appearing on the blueberry leaves as you can hopefully tell but they defo need to fatten up. Trichs are half cloudy on both plants maybe slightly further on the gorilla.

Hello all and welcome to the much anticipated beginning of vegetation for these five Epsilon F1 Autos from Royal Queen Seeds.
Allow me to introduce Ally, Normani, Lauren, Dinah, and Camila. All five girls have pushed put their 2nd node (3 fingers) and node 3 is on the way out. I expect all five girls to take off from here, and so the next seven days are going to be big.
I will start fertigation today.
For comparison purposes the Day 1 here means Day 1 of veg. For Ally, Normani, and Lauren this is day 11 since breaking ground, for Dinah day 10, and for Camila it is day 9. For the rest of this grow I will increment days from here but it's really easy to work out days since breaking ground as it is a simple matter of day + 10, 9, or 8 respectively.
Day 1: Fertigated 2l.
Day 2: Right ok. Can you actually believe this response in 24h? The poor girls were STARVING. Wow look at the change in color! Wow look at the growth!! Ally is most advanced, Camila least. It is fascinating so see them develop! They are growing faster and faster now.
So let us talk about the elephant in the room a little bit. Phenotypes. At the moment there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that this crop will be anything other than uniform. Nevertheless there are some clear differences in some of the girls. So let's have a look shall we:
Ally (center), Normani (closest to the middle purple basil), and Lauren (opposite side to Normani): These three girls are not quite identical, but it is a pretty challenging game of spot the difference.
Dinah: Okay so Dinah is coming in noticeably darker than her sisters, with a little more tendency to claw, and with quite a bit larger and more angular serrations. Her first leaves are also a different shape.
Camila: Little Camila had a twin, but I killed her with some overzealous tweezing before I realised what I had. She came in with only one cotyledon, and she came in last. Her first leaves are quite different to the rest of Fifth Harmony. She is also showing slighty more narrow leaves. She is lastly also very slightly more pale than her sisters.
Are these phenotype differences? I mean in terms of the environment, feeding, watering, substrate, temperature, light, airflow... well these girls are all in the same pot, so unless I am particularly haphazard in my mixing and fertigation (which I can assure you I am not) I do not think it likely that these ladies have significant enough environmental difference to account for these quite clear visual differences. I am absolutely fascinated to continue to witness this, and it has only now occurred to me what a great privilege it is to be able to grow the world first F1 cannabis hybrids, and what an astounding honor to be one of the very first hobby growers to do so! The fact that RQS made this happen by not only supplying the seeds and other merch and goodies, but also sending expedited international shipping so as to fit within my arbitrary timescales is almost unbelievable. When these guys (on their website) say that it is their belief and mission to forge the path to worldwide legalisation, they are not hollow corporate whispers, it is their core of being. Cannabis everywhere is truly blessed to have such a worthy and proactive ambassador. Bravo RQS!
I have adjusted the timer such that the main tent is now getting 20/4 upped from 18/6. After monitoring DLI at 18/6 for a week I am unhappy with the overall level but because of the varying heights of the plants I am limited in what I can do in adjusting the light height. Some areas were only getting 20 DLI. So I have rearranged to have the taller plants on the edges and the lowest in the middle and doing it this way all plants are getting between 35 and 50 DLI at 20/4 - although one or two cola tips here and there are getting 55. Will monitor for a week.
Day 3: Well look at this growth again!! These ladies have responded to feeding really well. Fertigated 3l.
Day 4: Growth is accelerating fast, these ladies will be ready for their first training soon. I am starting to formulate an idea what to do. I am thinking of topping Ally and LST on the rest.
Day 6: Fertigated 3l. Ladies growing fast now. Will soon be time to start training. However! The secondary nodes are developing strongly. Hmmm
Day 7: Fertigated 3l. Defoliated the three fingered leaves from Ally and tucked the five fingered under other plants.
End if week summary: Well when they said "hybrid vigour" they were not joking. Look at day 1 and day 7 side by side after approx 6 days into veg growth. Wow.

Bon excès de nutriments dans la plante.
obliger de faire un gros rinçage, plusieurs avis de cultivateurs mon conseiller de faire cela meilleur moyen pour que la plante repart sur une bonne base, je rajouterai une dose d'enzyme pour nettoyer correctement la base puis croisons les doigts pour qu'il se passe aucun problème par la suite.

Здравствуйте, my друзья со всего мира. Опять же, прошла целая неделя, и пришло время обновить свои дневники. My АК-47 быстро развиваются, но растения, которые имеют повреждение корней и передозировка, по-прежнему показывают медленное развитие, в то время как два других растения уже готовы к клонированию.
После дефолиации больших листьев я промыл ветки водой и дал пищу в виде бактерий, биостимуляторов и витаминов. После этого я начал клонировать. Я взял десять побегов с двух растений AK-47, положил их в гормональный корневой гель и положил их в «RooTriot». После этого я кладу их в теплицу, закрывая крышку, создавая там микроклимат, чтобы растения могли take root.
В общей сложности мне нужно получить около 7-8 клонов от этих растений, после чего я сделаю Main-lining my растения.
Если вы заинтересованы в том, чтобы следить за приключениями сорняков в России, подпишитесь на my дневники.

🌼 White OG - Week 1 Flower
Strain: White OG by Seedsman Seeds
Stage: First Week of Flower
Grower: DogDoctor
Pot: 30L Fabric Pot
Medium: PRO-MIX HP Mycorrhizae
Lighting: FOG LED
Controller: TrolMaster
Environment:
🔆 Light Schedule: 11/13 (Light/Dark)
💧 pH: 5.9
⚡ EC: Clean and steady (Aptus Clean Mix)
🌡️ Room Temp: Stable & thriving
⸻
🌗 The Flip – 11/13 Light Schedule
This week, we make the cosmic shift from VEG to FLOWER 🌙.
We’re flipping our light schedule to 11 hours ON / 13 hours OFF, and yes—it’s intentional. While the typical flower schedule is 12/12, here’s why DogDoctor runs 11/13:
🌓 Faster Flower Induction:
Less light = a stronger signal to the plant: “It’s time to bloom!” Many growers, especially with OG genetics, report quicker flower onset with 11/13.
🌓 Myth vs. Magic:
Some say you lose yield—not necessarily true. With tight SCROG, proper nutrition, and a long veg like we’ve done, we’re set up for big, quality flowers.
🌓 Mimicking Nature:
Outdoor growers know—late-season light drops fast. This method mirrors the natural rhythm and can enhance terpene production in some strains. 🌬️✨
⸻
🛠️ Still Keeping It Clean – Aptus Holland Program
We stick with the Aptus Clean Line—light yet powerful.
💧 Regulator – Keeps her structure strong and focused
💧 System Clean – A clean root zone is a happy root zone
💧 RO Water Conditioner – Optimal water for nutrient absorption
💧 All-In-One Liquid – Full-spectrum feed, balanced and precise
No need to overdo it—simplicity is our secret weapon. 🍃
⸻
🌿 SCROG + Chill
White OG is filling up the Scrog net beautifully, stretching and flexing into her new rhythm. She’s bouncing back from last week’s heavy defoliation like a champ.
But now?
💡 We leave her be.
This week is sacred. We let her settle, stretch, and initiate bloom.
No major pruning, no big changes—just light tucking into the net and observation. The goal is low stress, high vibe. ✨
⸻
