70 days from seed!!! wow I just confirmed once again that Zamnesia seeds are not bad :) the girl is growing really well despite the lack of space, high humidity, the girl just ignores all this and does not pay much attention to it and focuses all her energy on the maturation of the flowers, which are really very stiff ;) Plagron nutrients also worked flawlessly throughout her growth, this is my first growth with these nutrients :) I am happy that they are there, I will definitely use them in the future :) well, there is not much left until the harvest, Good luck to everyone in the competition and in your cultivation :).

The sweet smell and her swelling of the buds is very evident mid flower glory. I gave her a mid flower flush of 2 gallons of water yesterday. From now on it’s just molasses and maybe some liquid budswell for the terps.

Week 8 Flower – Roller Coaster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) The Final Act of a Beautiful Journey Here we are, Week 8 of flower, and the Roller Coaster Haze girls are at their absolute peak. Massive, elegant, and shining with frost — these plants are true works of living art. The colas are huge, dense, and heavy, coated in trichomes that glisten under the lights. The aroma is intense, that unmistakable hay-sweet haze scent filling the room the moment you approach them. It’s been an incredible journey from seed to this point — full of learning, adjustments, and evolution — and the girls are showing their gratitude with a breathtaking display. ⸻ Light Defoliation & Canopy Health This week, we performed a light defoliation, focusing mainly on yellowing and fading fan leaves. At this stage, the goal isn’t to push growth, but to maintain airflow and prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to bud rot or other late-stage issues. By selectively removing what the plant no longer needs, we’re allowing more light to penetrate the canopy and helping the buds finish strong and clean. The fading is beautiful — a sign that the plants are naturally consuming their reserves as they approach the end of their cycle. ⸻ Aroma, Density & Structure Each branch tells a story of energy and balance. The colas are dense and resin-packed, sticky to the touch, with pistils slowly darkening and curling inward. The aroma has deepened, becoming more earthy and hazy, with a sweet undertone that hints at the potency within. These are true haze beauties — towering, expressive, and powerful. Every part of the plant speaks of the care, patience, and intention behind this grow. ⸻ Feeding & Environment We have now completely stopped nutrient feeding. This week’s watering is plain, clean water only, measured at: • EC: 0.3 • pH: 6.8 – 7.2 The goal is to gently flush out any remaining salts and allow the plants to finish on what remains in the super soil. This natural fade encourages better flavor and cleaner results after harvest. Environmental conditions remain steady despite the high outdoor temperatures. With careful management through TrolMaster and Spider Farmer controls, we’re keeping: • Temperature: around 28°C • Humidity: 60–65% • VPD: approximately 1.3 Everything stays balanced and stable to allow the final ripening stage to unfold smoothly. ⸻ Light Adjustments – Simulating the End of the Season To mimic the natural end of the season, we’ve begun gradually lowering the white light intensity, while pushing the red, far-red, and UV spectrums to 100%. This spectrum shift signals to the plants that the cycle is ending, stimulating final ripening, color development, and resin production. The reds encourage energy transfer in the deeper parts of the canopy, while UV light helps enhance secondary metabolite production — the oils, terpenes, and resins that give Roller Coaster Haze her unique flavor and strength. ⸻ Reflections & Recap From seed to this stage, this run has been all about precision, patience, and experimentation. The Roller Coaster Haze responded beautifully to the Aptus + Plagron blend, the controlled environment, and the small adjustments we made each week. The natural fade is now in full display — leaves turning golden and soft while the buds continue to swell and frost over. The plants are enormous and full of life, and the garden is filled with that unmistakable late-flower perfume that makes this stage so magical. ⸻ What to Expect Next Expect: • Final ripening, with trichomes transitioning from cloudy to amber • Continued fading of the fan leaves • Aroma deepening even further, more earthy and hazy notes • Buds hardening and resin maturing for peak potency Not to Expect: • Any new vegetative growth • Heavy feeding — water only from now until harvest ⸻ Final Words Week 8 is the calm before the harvest. The girls are thriving, finishing strong, and showing every bit of love and work poured into them over the past two months. The Roller Coaster Haze truly lived up to her name — a thrilling, rewarding, and beautiful ride. We’re almost there. One or two more weeks, and it’ll be time to cut, dry, and celebrate what nature and care created together. Thank you all for following along on this journey. 🌿✨ Let’s grow together, – DD (DogDoctorOfficial) 💚 ⸻ 🌸 Quick Summary – Week 8 Flower • Stage: Week 8 of Flower • Plants: Roller Coaster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) • Feeding: Plain water only • EC: 0.3 • pH: 6.8–7.2 • Environment: Temp 28°C / RH 60–65% / VPD 1.3 • Work done: Light defoliation (yellow/faded leaves removed) • Lighting: Whites reduced gradually / Reds, Far-Reds & UVs at 100% • Notes: Massive dense colas, strong haze aroma, full fade in progress • Outlook: Entering final ripening — harvest soon! 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Went crazy with LST as I'm anticipating that stretch as they decide to start flowering through the week! I'm so excited the 2 with the older soil happily took nutrients almost to the point I could have went even full strength. The grobiotics is a special formula I got a sample of from a close friend. It consists of canna leaf, organic molasses and lacto bacillus!!!! It was great for improving the life of my soil I look forward to buying it when it becomes available it's not really available yet as far as I know. It improved my microbial life 100% my soil is definetly living and these plants are super happy. I hope you guys are enjoying these diaries as much as I am. Check back next week to see just how fast they grow & remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!!!!

12/28 - growing nicely, plenty moisture so feeding will be a while. 12/30 - updated my feeding chart after some conversation with NPK rep. I will be removing the shoots from the "node 2" branches, then topping "node 2" and "node 3" branches later this week. Update: removed 2 shoots from node 2 branches, 2 left as they are smallish. 12/31 - she is doing really well! I may start training the branches sideways tonight! Happy New Years from BlumenBot!!! Shared a time-lapse video too! Update: trained her a bit 1/1/21 - made it to 2021! I removed the restraints for not to let her grow a bit more without additional stress. Hoping to feed Sunday 1/2 - restraints are back in place, mixed some feeding for tomorrow 1/3 - fed her then tried to train her and broke one of the 2 main branches right at the main stem....trying to graft it back together with some tape...not the first time I've broken a branch but the first time its completely broken off....we shall see how this goes....fuck! RAW feeding: 2L Distilled Water 2G Grow 0.18G Phosphorus 2G Microbes Grow 0.13G Enzymes 0.63G Amino Acids 6.0pH 676ppm 71.8*F Update: abandoning the graft attempt and just putting the broken branch in rockwool and right in the soil more or less in its original spot...experimentation at this point... 20 mins later the cut branch is already perking up!

The plant rose above the ground on the 24.6., this is Time Lapse ends on the 13th day of vefetation. I started the grow in my old cupboard grow sed up. I opted to upgrade the the Home Box Q80+ in the coming week. As i was using the Pro Mix i dont need to ad any nutrients for about 4 Weeks. Therefore for now I am only monitoring the amount of water i give them. As I decided to give Air Pots a try for this grow, I am intersted to see how much i can water, relative to my previouse grow with a fabric pot.

Start of week 3 blueberry is flowering and the stretch is almost over. The seedlings are growing nicely.the box got up to 100f this week during mini heat wave had to put ice blocks in rez to lower temp down from 80f. I look forward to the 3 other new strains I’m running. My GSC seedling is looking a little pale I should have waited longer to change rez over to bloom nutes. I have top dressed some organic fertilizer near drip line of nutes 4-6-4 one month release. I applied to all seedlings except blueberry. I reduced blumat on gsc, ww, and ch until surface dried a little bit as my gsc was showing signs of overwatering. Gsc is starting to green back up. My bb had to nanners i plucked them I hope these are all. It could be from the high temps or the one night I had a light leak. BB larger plant receving 1000 ppfd.i turn light back down a notch Gsc leaves started cupping now she’s getting just 550 along with other seedlings.will continue to monitor for improvement and ramp lights up a little later if needed as plants should grow into light.

She looks excellent on gje second week, very very terpy smells super dank and sweet,looks like she's very happy so let's see how she develops those frosty flowers 😍🌱, the smell is very powerful and strong man, I'm in love with this strain,I always recommend to every single grower please fed the plant properly that's for sure but please do it the organic way, and here's the demonstration,crazy resin production, very sticky and stinky,I didn't thought she abd her sister were going to produce such a crazy amount of aromatic very cery very sweet resin, I don't even know how to explain the aroma,but super floral,that's for sure. In love with this strain that after 19 days flowering she's producing such a big quantity of quality sweet cristals,thank you guys for creating this awesome genetic,I'm definitely happy and satisfied.

What can I say. This left plant has gone to shit. After it has all happened I have definitely felt stupid about how long I have thought everything was going fine, and how quickly that has all turned to a complete and utter failure. Considering the stage of seed development in the left plant, it has been pollinated over a month ago. What I first thought were foxtails were seed pockets in the end. On the right plant the small seeds have not quite developed. So these seeds are small, and have already turned brown. The calyxes in which these sit, are turning yellow brownish. Other people have told me this was genetic expression. But it definitely isnt. For that reason I have let that one ripen, which was a bad decision in the end. That one has been harvested and is drying now. The left plant however has seeds that have clearly been developing for weeks, and is just totally filled with seeds. That pheno expecially, does show a haze structure and smell, and is also super sensitive for stress and butrot. However it has pollinated itself to the point everything in my growroom is toast. I discarded my whole autoflower in my cabinet next to my tent. Fully pollinated, but was in early flower still, and was doing great. Embryo seeds in every calyx. Shame because that Gorilla Cookies smelled amazing, for sure. I will be finishing this left haze pheno for S1 seeds now. About 2 weeks to go. Can't wait to clean the growroom and take a few weeks break before I start 2 new runs.

Everything is filling up the canopy nicely so I flipped to flower (10/19/18) so they don’t get to out of control during the first couple weeks as they like to stretch. Will be doing a slight Lollipopping in the next day or 2 and will have to add a second layer of trellis either this week or next.
