Here is the second Fruit Punch Automatic, the main lining has given it a very beautiful shape and high quality flowers. ** We remind all users that we grow two plants per variety, one worked with techniques and the other left to grow freely and beautifully to preserve its speed. Description // This plant has undergone the first cut and then we went to create the Mainfold at the second internode. In autoflowering plants I choose to cut very early to lengthen the vegetative phase as much as possible and give the plant a lot to make as much cannabis as possible. She is a plant with a low internodal distance so she remained low but the quality believe me is high. I can't let you smell it, smoke it, vaporize it, put it under a press but I can show it to you, take a look at how juicy it is. The flowers are big, large, very hard like Carrara marble and very very full. Really excellent quality of buds. Do I do it with techniques or let the plant grow? They are really two beautiful plants with excellent quality flowers. Maybe this one has a little more quality of flower and the other a little more production, however they are both around 50gr clean, without stakes and no residue, only dry buds. Trichomes and maturation // We carried out a careful observation under the microscope at 10x (and 10x x 1.6) and we noticed a good percentage of amber trichomes, mostly milky and a few transparent; for us it is a great time for harvest. I do a lot of daytime use, so I do not want to over-mature the plants, oxidize the THC and make them relaxing. Even the best sativa matured on the palate becomes more indica. I have to monitor the effect of daytime use a lot. Fertilizers and soil // We used the organic line of Plagron fertilizers the whole time, all the recommended additives and the unfertilized and organic Pro Mix soil. Calculate everything according to your needs on the website ------ https://plagron.com/ The nutrients are available in convenient packs on the Zamnesia website --------- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html One of the best in recent years with a very high THC level ------------------------------------------------------------------ https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10965-zamnesia-seeds-fruit-punch-automatic.html A short description of Zamnesia // Sativa strains are very rewarding to grow, but their long flowering times and greater susceptibility to disease and over-fertilization can make them a little more difficult to manage. Additionally, their imposing heights are less suitable for indoor use and can attract unwanted attention when grown outdoors. However, with the arrival of Fruit Punch Automatic, growing sativa strains at home just got a whole lot easier. Combining Skunk #1, Haze and ruderalis, Fruit Punch Auto is a 70% sativa-dominant strain that produces up to 21% THC, along with a delicious blend of terpenes. Plus, it can be grown indoors, outdoors and in a greenhouse. With bright green hues, golden pistils and a thick layer of resin, Fruit Punch Auto buds always have a great appeal. When you smoke her, you will be amazed by her flavours, aromas and effects! As the name suggests, Fruit Punch Auto boasts delicious tropical aromas reminiscent of banana, pineapple, mango and citrus. Opening the jars will make you feel like you are in a tropical cocktail bar on an exotic beach. Fruit Punch Auto will delight your palate with pungent fruity notes followed by light notes of Skunk and spice on the exhale. Within minutes of taking your first hit, this potent sativa will stimulate your mind, leaving you in an energetic and carefree state, ideal for morning or daytime sessions, as well as social settings or creative pursuits. The whole world of growing and much more is at Zamnesia: just take a look at the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. --------------- www.zamnesia.com

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.

Second week of flowering. I have more than 50 bud sites in the 4 plants. I added 4 more 15w lamps (1350lm) to help the led panel that was small in the new tent. I didn't do any more defoliation and they are growing a lot every day. I am afraid to enter the tent in a few days and the plant will try to smoke me Good week everyone and lots of flowers

Ehi ragazzi finalmente è arrivato l atteso momento di raccogliere! Ancora una settimana secondo me gliela devo concedere! Ogni giorno che passa le cime si rigonfiano sempre di più e stanno cambiando colore verso un bel violaceo! L odore intenso di ciliegia e davvero particolare e vi posso assicurare che ricorda quella caratteristica acidità della "cola"appunto! Mi aspetto una grande fumata stonante intensa che mi faccia vibrare tutto il corpo ed espandere la mia mente ai confini della umana comprensione! Ringrazio come al solito Mars hydro e FastBuds che hanno reso possibile l evolvere di questa bellissima creatura ! Buon 420 a tutti!!

Day 91 The plants are progressing beautifully through the flowering stage. Buds are now forming dense clusters along the main stems and side branches, with plenty of healthy white pistils. The trichomes are starting to become more visible under the light, giving the buds a nice frosty appearance. Overall, the plants look strong and healthy — dark green leaves, good structure, and no major signs of stress. I did some light defoliation this week to improve airflow and light penetration, especially in the lower areas. This should help the buds develop more evenly. Humidity and temperature have been kept stable to avoid mold or mildew issues. Feeding has been consistent with bloom nutrients, and I’m keeping an eye on runoff to make sure everything stays balanced.

This week went fairly well, but I became concerned with some leaves appearing crispyfried along the edges and some looking deficient. I finally started cutting my girls and I have to say, I felt ashamed at wounding my babes but hopefully it'll go the right way, guess we'll see!!! I also flushed my plants with ph Balanced water this week and going to only provide this to water/feed them for another few days for fear of nutrient burn and simply following the feed schedule for my nutrients. Also, I took some pics for the Christmas contest for Crop King Seeds lol hope you like them more than my Paw did! I want to send a big shout out to my Dad who is giving me advice based upon his UNCA Biology BS experiences... Thanks Paw!!! I also want to say thank you for all the likes and interest in my grow, much love yall! See you next week!!! What follows below is the transcribed daily notes from the images above! 12/9 Plants looking good, I fed/watered w/Sunday's Ph 6.2 6tsp/ga Big Bloom & 3 tsp ga Grow Big. Next time I'll flush. I don't know if my runoff ph is bad or good because the plants are eating leaving acidic runoff 12/10 Plant 1 looks so Good, might be time for LST soon 12/11 Plants all showing Improvement/Growth Plant 3 still slowest but she's still growing. Under grow lights I think I see fringe yellow tips. Still on track to flush w/Plain H2o next watering. 12/12 Flushing w/ PH Balanced H2O no noots. Plant 1 has a leaf turning yellow on half so went with ph balanced water w/no nuets to flush all. 3 Growing ok but still a little off looking 12/13 Moved inlet vent to point up and clip on fan to blow on girls. Plants look great after a day of plain H2O. 12/14 Plant one having a small bit of leaf burn on widest leaves and a weird dying on lower leaf. They looked bad under light so I pruned em. Turned up humidifier to 65% been running low. 12/15 Topped Plant 2 Rinsed all w/PH Balanced H2O. Nervous I took too much from #2 But my thinking was I went easy on 1 yesterday so go aggressive on 2 to view effects. 12/16 Trimmed 2 crispy leaves off Plant 1 used Bonsai paste to cover wounds, Plant 2 stem looks narrow@ base wider up top. Trimmed 2 sucker leaves (1st leaves) from Plant 4 Rinsed all w/ PH Balanced H2O Thats it! Thanks yall, see ya next week!

Topped the plant in day 29 from seed. Nutrients concentration is dropping 10-20 PPM every 1-2 days. PH is drifting up every day, I have to drop the PH every 1 to 2 days. Light intensity for this week is at 46% ( Fluence Spydr 2i) . After toppling I dropped the light intensity to 36% for a day.

Missed couple weeks of updating. Apologies. K. Had to move the lady back under my homemade lights. The store bought just kept her trying to bunch up. Needed light through, didn't want to defoliate too much and she resisted opening up. She would actually straighten out the wire reaching for the SB. Sooo, I spread my homemade apart more. I put her back under my direct wire, switchable lights, 5 settings from 2700k-5000k, 6 t8 tubes, 1800 lumens each. Gave her a couple days. She opened right up for me. The SB light high intensity, she was bushy, even after opening up, so at week 3, under homemade, she got some defoliation. Learning more about light. I kept a minimal distance from top, center cola, to reduce it's stretch and allowed the trained limbs to catch up to it. Now @12" from center cola, about 16" from rest of plant and light covers the entire plant. Using 1000w for her babies (clones.) They like it. Using soil. And reading more. Prolly didn't need all the nutes I was giving. Doing well on 1nce weekly fish fertilizer and once weekly Gen Hydro Flora Series mixed for flower. The rest is ph'ed water. Ozarka got expensive. Tried GV spring water. Has near 300 ppm, Ozarka <30. GV pH near and sometimes 10+. Ozarka 8.3 max. GV needs more pH down and it will rise again. I pH let set, then pH again. Pretty sure it's mostly calcium, since it's source is heavy with limestone. Calcium also appears to be a buffer. Ozaka's 8.3 mostly from the calcium, but ph's easily and holds well. Mixing = parts can get a ppm of 160 and pH of 8.7-9. then pH down. Saves a little money and some extra calcium. K done for the week. Bye, y'all.
