Week 3 Flower – Sundae Driver From Seed to Now This journey started just five weeks ago from seed. We ran a very short veg, only about two weeks, before flipping to flower. Even with the short veg, these Sundae Driver phenos have been relentless growers: strong branching early on, healthy node spacing, and an impressive stretch once the light cycle changed. In Week 1 of flower, we switched to 11 hours on / 13 hours off to encourage a faster transition, and by Week 2, the girls had already shot past the 111 cm mark. Now, in Week 3, they’re tall, thriving, and showing no signs of slowing down. The girls are reaching for the sky, tall, elegant, and stretching with no signs of slowing down. Each day they surprise me with just how much vertical growth they’re putting on. I’m curious (and a little nervous!) to see how big they’ll eventually get. Nutrients & Additives This week, we introduced a new layer to the feed program by combining Plagron additives with our existing Aptus lineup. Here’s the full mix (all at 1 ml/L): • Plagron Power Buds – Bud stimulator to support mid-flower. • Plagron Green Sensation – All-in-one bloom booster with PK, sugars, and micronutrients to push flower development. • Plagron Sugar Royal – Amino-acid-rich formula to help boost energy and aroma production. • Aptus Regulator – For plant strength, nutrient efficiency, and stress resistance. • Aptus CalMag Boost – Maintaining balanced calcium and magnesium levels under high growth rates. The idea is to test how the Plagron additives perform alongside Aptus products. So far, the results look promising. Training & Canopy Management No heavy training, just gentle leaf tucking. Large fan leaves are being bent or tucked under branches so light can reach the bud sites without removing too much foliage. This keeps the plant energy flowing while opening up the canopy naturally. Environment • Day Temp: ~26°C • Humidity: ~67% • VPD: ~1.10 kPa (not textbook perfect, but the plants are adapting beautifully) • pH: ~6.5 • Soil Moisture: Letting it dry down to ~19% before watering, sometimes even closer to 9% in hotter moments. Lighting & Gear The girls are thriving under the Future of Grow LED fixtures, with the filtered, even spectrum keeping the canopy happy. I’ve also introduced an automated irrigation system in the tents, still testing whether to fully hand over watering duties to the system or keep a hybrid approach with some hand-watering for closer control. Extras & Comfort Yes, I had a little fun with the camera this week, a casual photo session in the "studio" (plants only in their natural “outfits”), and a special shout-out to Zamnesia for their incredibly comfortable gear. Think rugby-polo style shirts, perfect for long hours in the grow or behind the camera. What to Expect Next Week • Expect: First signs of full flower set, with more defined pistils and the earliest stacking patterns starting to show. You may also see a slowdown in vertical growth as the plants redirect more energy to flower production. • Not to Expect: Heavy trichome development just yet, it’s still a bit early for full resin production, though sugar leaves may start to sparkle. • Keep an Eye On: Environmental stability. With humidity in the upper 60s, watch for microclimate pockets that could encourage mold once flowers start stacking. Closing Reflection From seed to now, this run has been a fast, exciting climb. A short veg, an early flip, and now a careful mix of trusted Aptus products with new Plagron additives, it’s been an experiment in precision and adaptability. The girls are loving their environment, thriving under Future of Grow LEDs, and pushing toward their full flowering potential. The next few weeks will tell just how much they can deliver, but one thing’s for sure: the journey so far has been beautiful. 🔗 Gear links available on request 💬 Always here to talk flower, stretch, or any topic regarding gardening 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Roots looking good, plant looking good but look close and you can see a nute deficiency coming. most likely because my lazy ass did not change the water yet so i got some pH problems. but i wasn't paying attention to this yet haha

Chopped, saturated plants with diluted H2O2/water (1tbsp/500ml) with a spray bottle, and then Bud-washed the plants whole like normal in plain dechlorinated tap water at 75F for 20-25 seconds, then hung whole in the drying tent, conditions are 63-67f, 50-60% RH, intake and exhaust @ 50% with circulation fan inside the ⛺️ Until next time growmies! ✌️

Rolling along and she is blowing up. Starting to see some pistils at a few of the nodes, so Im waiting for the stretch to begin. Once I can single out the dominant tops, I'll strip some of the lower bud sites to focus her resources on making big flowers, reducing the larfy sites and also improving airflow through the plant...every little bit helps. She still has a couple really crinkly leaves that are slower growing, which has me a little baffled, but either way, I'll continue to push her to the limits with this MegaCrop medley and I'll hit the bloom switch on the light so she can go all in for the next 50 days or so. Tell me who does more with a one gallon DWC in a 16"x16" tent... Top level savagery with these Groloponics!

420 Fastbuds FBT2305 Week 6 This week has been exciting for sure. Both have definitely transitioned into flower now, showing flower sites everywhere.Had some calmag issues but I think we got that under control by upping the feeding to 1tsp per gal. Over all I'd say Happy Growing.

Привет друзья. Моей растихе сегодня 71 дней. Был в отъезеде, не поливал. В связи этим растение не много подсохло. Как придёт в чувства. переведу на цвет. Начал применять LST технику на 19 дне и продалжаю применять её через день, а 18 августа добавил ДЕФОЛИЗАЦИЮ С 20.08 ДЕФОЛИЗАЦИЮ делаю каждые 3,4 дня С 20.08 LST технику делаю каждые 4.6 дней На сегодняшний день влажность 54% 26 дней назад заметил высокий Ph 7.9 С 48 дня Ph не ниже 5.8 На сегодняшний день Ph 6.0 Начал кормить с 60 дня Canna Terra Vega PPM 550 Погладитель влажности, выполняет свои функции. Посмотрю на динамику. Всем мира и добра! https://t.me/smail_seeds #Smail_Seeds

Die Ruhe vor der Explosion Manche Pflanzen beeindrucken sofort mit ihrer Größe. Andere überzeugen mit Perfektion. Die Lemon Cherry Sundae gehört eindeutig zur zweiten Kategorie. In dieser Woche wird immer deutlicher, wie hervorragend ihre Struktur aufgebaut ist. Während der Stretch langsam ausläuft, richtet die Pflanze ihre komplette Energie auf die Blütenentwicklung. Überall entstehen gleichmäßig verteilte Budsites, die inzwischen beginnen, sich sichtbar zu verdichten. Besonders beeindruckt mich die Homogenität der gesamten Pflanze. Fast jeder Trieb befindet sich auf einer ähnlichen Höhe und entwickelt nahezu identische Blütenstände. Genau diese gleichmäßige Verteilung des Canopys sorgt dafür, dass jede Cola optimale Lichtverhältnisse erhält. Die Internodien bleiben angenehm kompakt, wodurch die zukünftigen Colas später schön dicht zusammenwachsen können. Gleichzeitig sorgt die offene Verzweigung weiterhin für eine hervorragende Luftzirkulation zwischen den Trieben – ein großer Vorteil, wenn die Blüten in den kommenden Wochen deutlich an Volumen zulegen. Auch gesundheitlich präsentiert sich die Lemon Cherry Sundae weiterhin in Bestform. Das Blattwerk zeigt ein sattes Grün, die Triebe wirken kräftig und stabil und die Pflanze verarbeitet die Bedingungen im RDWC-System mit beeindruckender Leichtigkeit. Besonders schön zu beobachten ist der Übergang von einzelnen Blütenständen zu den ersten zusammenhängenden Colas. Die frischen weißen Blütenfäden schießen überall hervor und verleihen der gesamten Pflanze inzwischen ein nahezu schneeweißes Erscheinungsbild. Genau jetzt beginnt die Phase, auf die jeder Grower wartet. Die Struktur steht. Die Blüten sind gesetzt. Jetzt kann die Pflanze ihre ganze Energie in Masse, Harz und Aroma investieren. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass die Lemon Cherry Sundae in den nächsten Wochen noch eine gewaltige Überraschung bereithalten wird. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Calm Before the Explosion Some plants impress with sheer size. Others impress with perfection. The Lemon Cherry Sundae clearly belongs to the second category. This week her beautiful plant structure has become even more apparent. As the stretch gradually comes to an end, she's now directing virtually all of her energy into flower production. Bud sites are forming evenly across the entire canopy and are already beginning to stack into recognizable future colas. What stands out the most is the remarkable uniformity. Nearly every branch has reached a similar height and is producing almost identical flower clusters. This balanced canopy allows each top to receive excellent light exposure, giving every cola the opportunity to develop to its full potential. The internodal spacing remains pleasantly compact, providing the perfect foundation for dense flowers later in bloom. At the same time, her naturally open branching still allows excellent airflow throughout the canopy—something that will become increasingly valuable as the buds continue to gain size. Overall, the plant looks exceptionally healthy. Rich green foliage, strong stems, and vigorous growth all show how comfortably she has adapted to the RDWC system. One of my favorite things to watch this week is the transition from individual flower sites into continuous developing colas. Fresh white pistils continue emerging everywhere, giving the entire canopy an almost snow-white appearance. This is the stage every grower looks forward to. The framework has been built. The flowers are set. Now it's time for the real magic to begin as she starts converting all that energy into weight, resin, and aroma. I have a feeling the Lemon Cherry Sundae still has a spectacular performance ahead of her. 🌱🍒🍋

Hallo und herzlich willkommen zu meinem Growbericht Outdoor 2025 mit den Sorten Power Flower Feminized, Royal Medic Feminized und Special Kush #1 Feminized, alle 3 von Royal Queen Seeds. Es ist das erste Mal, das ich Töpfe für den Outdoor grow verwende, bisher waren alle Gorilla grows und direkt in die Erde gepflanzt. Die URL der Power Flower Feminized: https://www.royalqueenseeds.de/feminisierte-hanfsamen/120-power-flower.html Die URL der Royal Medic Feminized: https://www.royalqueenseeds.de/cbd-samen/148-royal-medic.html Die URL der Special Kush #1 Feminized: https://www.royalqueenseeds.de/feminisierte-hanfsamen/138-special-kush-1.html Die Planung für den Grow ist, die Samen in easyplug Anzuchtwürfeln keimen zu lassen und danach in 0,6L und 2,2L Plastiktöpfen, dann letztlich in die neuen komplett doppellagigen ROOTIES 15 Liter Wide Version Stofftöpfe umzutopfen. Sobald die Witterung es zuläßt, sollen die Pflanzen an die frische Luft. Es ist schon eine Weile her, das der Grow losging, die Bilder sind jetzt aktuell. Tag 231: Es geht sehr stürmisch in die 33. Woche. Die drei sind festgebunden. Wenn's dir gefallen hat, schau wieder vorbei ✌️😎

English version below Tag 91Grow: Tag 36 Blüte: Heute wurden erneut 25L gegossen mit weniger als 1L Drainage - Sie haben Durst! Wie immer waren nur ca 1,5ml Mag und Calc /L im 6,5PH Wasser. Ab ca Mitte der Blüte hebe ich den PH leicht an um die Nährstoffaufnahme von z.B. Mag zu fördern. Der Geruch ist extrem Süßlich! Vor allem beim Entfernen größerer Blätter haut einen der Geruch förmlich um. Sonst läuft der Grow recht Ereignislos weiter - es wird begonnen sich auf die Ernte vorzubereiten. Der Nachwuchs ist bereits im Anzuchtzelt. Tag 93 Groow: Tag 38 Blüte: Heute gab es nochmal ein letztes HST in Form von Abschnitt vieler Laubblätter um mehr Licht an die Blüten in der Mitte zu bekommen. Der Unterschied ist deutlich zu sehen! Das soll auch diese Blüten bei der Reifung unterstützen. Man kann erkennen, das der Herbst langsam einzieht - schöne pinke Verfärbungen sind jetzt sichtbar. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 91 – Grow Day 36 – Flowering Phase: Today, another 25 liters were applied, with less than 1 liter of runoff — they are thirsty. As usual, the water contained only about 1.5 ml/L of Cal-Mag at a pH of 6.5. From around mid-flowering onward, the pH is slightly increased to support nutrient uptake, for example magnesium. The smell is extremely sweet — especially when removing larger leaves, the aroma is very intense. Otherwise, the grow is progressing without major events. Preparations for harvest have begun, and the next generation is already in the propagation tent. Day 93 – Grow Day 38 – Flowering Phase: Today, a final HST was performed in the form of removing many fan leaves to allow more light to reach the buds in the middle. The difference is clearly visible. This should also support the maturation of these buds. It is noticeable that “autumn” is slowly setting in — beautiful pink colorations are now becoming visible.

Hello everyone 😎 Day 30 she grew fast with a great structure and with a beautiful green colour on the leaves. She is responding superbly to topping and Ist aswell growing like nothing has been done to her! Have a great day 👨‍🌾🏻

3-25 Only gave her 5ml cal/mag and 1.5ml drops of balance. Runoff 850 ph 7.0. See whats going on by next. She still shining 😁🤘 3-28 3ml cal/mag, 1.5 ml drops of balance and 1.5 ml slf-100. Ph 5.9 ppm 115 6 liters water. She looks good since last water so a really lite cal/mag. Again, see how she do. Runoff .

Day 63: Watered the plants 0.5L with nuts, 4L total, 919 ppm, 1955 us/cm, PH 6.4 Day 65: Watered the plants 0.5L with nuts, 4L total, 780 ppm, 1661 us/cm, PH 6.4 Day 67: Watered the plants 0.5L with nuts, 4L total, 729 ppm, 1563 us/cm, PH 6.4 Day 69: Watered the plants 0.5L with nuts, 4L total, 905 ppm, 1925 us/cm, PH 6.4 Next irrigation's without nuts, flushing next week 1 plant with foxtails (good ones)(small too)

19.07. Wedding Cake 1# Day 85# This plant is progressing very well, it has only grown 10 cm since the last update, but it has grown a lot in width, I forgot to measure the width, but I think it is currently as wide as it is tall, which I really like. This phenotype is not difficult to grow, but it is not too easy either, I would not recommend it to beginners because it can cause problems sometimes. Yesterday was the end of her twelfth week. I think I mentioned in the seventh or eighth week that this plant will be a monster, it was already seen then and it definitely will be, I look forward to the further cultivation and progress of this plant. Wedding Cake 2# Day 79# As far as this phenotype is concerned, everything is against the first one. As for the size of the plant, I think it has to do with genetics, it probably drew on some small ancestor, but it doesn't necessarily mean, maybe it's also down to what I'm going to mention now. Basically, this plant is constantly hungry and thirsty from the moment it is transplanted, it always lacks something and is never completely happy. For weeks I've been trying to correct that and please her, but she can't be as healthy and happy as she should be... this week she looks the best so far, but it's still not that... because of this phenotype (I don't know if it's common) I definitely wouldn't recommend this strain to beginners because I also struggle with this phenotype, the first phenotype is much easier to grow, although it's not for beginners either. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

Day 56 alle 3 Pflanzen haben die letzte regnerische Woche sehr gut überstanden. Apple Fritter ist 72cm hoch und bildet schöne Buds. Runtz F1 ist 60cm hoch und hinkt ein wenig hinterher. GG#4 ist immer noch in der Wachstumsphase und scheint ein Monster zu werden. Der Stamm ist sehr dick im Vergleich zu den anderen zwei. Zusätzlich gieße ich die Babys seit 2 Tagen mit Canna Terra Flores. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Wachstumsphase und Übergang in die Blütephase. Ohne Lampe zu dieser Jahreszeit ein gutes Ergebnis wie ich finde.

Flush week

harvesting tomorrow, plant has been flushed for the past 10 or so days
