Had a good week, this has been a very easy grow, she's responding really well to the LST and defoliation. I would suggest any new growers try out Red Devil Auto from Weedseedsexpress. They're having some great sales right now!

Week 7 Flower — Sundae Driver (Grow Diaries Report) Quick recap for new readers From seed to here, this run has been a careful dance between living soil, precision feeding, and adaptive training: • Seeds germinated with Aptus support, then transplanted directly into 11L fabric pots of enriched soil. • Minimal veg — early switch to flower under 11/13 schedule. • One tall “moon-shot” top supercropped early in flower to control height and redirect hormones → result: knuckle healed beautifully, more bud sites formed. • Feeding has been a Plagron + Aptus combo, alternating between soil-driven nutrition and steering solutions, keeping EC and pH carefully managed. • By Week 6, we saw resin pouring in, trichomes swelling, pistils still pushing white, and strong aroma developing. Now, in Week 7, we are right in the heart of bulking. ⸻ Environmental update • Outside: brutal heatwave (temps up to ~45°C / 110°F). • Grow space: thanks to AC, canopy temps hold around 28°C with the lung room at ~21.8°C. • Humidity: still high, ~62%. Ideally we’d want 45–55% at this stage, but the girls are adapting beautifully — no visible signs of mold or rot, airflow and plant vigor are keeping them safe. • Tools: Trolmaster and Spider Farmer apps logged to share transparent data. ⸻ Feeding & recipe this week You’ve reintroduced the All-in-One liquid into the Plagron + Aptus recipe, pushing EC slightly higher again for an extra boost: • Plagron PowerBuds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation → stacking, sugars, and bloom density. • Aptus Regulator + CalMag Boost → structural strength, stress resilience, mineral balance. • All-in-One liquid → full-spectrum nudge to keep driving flower bulking. This “soil-first, solution-steering” approach works perfectly here. The soil still holds a strong base load (your earlier EC readings confirmed this), and the solution acts like an accelerator without overloading. ⸻ Plant performance & structure • Bulking: Both Sundae Drivers are filling out massively — flowers are swelling, colas thickening, side branches almost unable to hold themselves upright. • Support: You’ve improvised by tying branches to each other, preventing collapse. This is a classic late-flower “good problem”: weight means density. • Supercrop site: completely healed, producing solid flower along the bent top and nearby branches. A textbook example of how to redirect growth without losing yield. • Color: Leaves still lush green, minimal fade — showing balanced feeding and no major deficiencies. ⸻ Trichomes & pistils — where we stand • Trichomes: Frost is stacking heavy — from sugar leaves to outer calyxes, a shimmering coat is spreading. Under magnification, most heads are clear-to-cloudy, with some areas beginning to lean more cloudy. Amber not yet common — perfect for Week 7. • Pistils: Still plenty of white hairs, but we’ll begin to see darkening and curling soon as calyxes mature and resin production peaks. • Meaning: Plants are still actively in the bulking/resin-factory stage. Harvest is not yet — but we’re entering the critical monitoring phase. ⸻ What Week 7 means (technically) This is the late bulking / mid-ripening window. • Calyxes expand → actual bud density increases. • Terpenes develop rapidly → strong smells, unique cultivar expression. • Resin pathways peak activity → cannabinoids build, but need 1–2+ more weeks to fully mature. • Risk window for botrytis → high humidity + dense colas = careful airflow essential. ⸻ What to expect next week Expect: • Noticeable increase in aroma — terpenes often “pop” around Week 8. • Trichomes shifting more to cloudy; a few ambers may begin depending on genetics. • Pistils starting to darken and recede, giving buds a more “finished” look. • Possible leaf fade (yellowing from the bottom up) as mobile nutrients are pulled into flowers. Don’t expect (yet): • Full amber trichome maturity — too early. • True “final swell” — that’s more Weeks 8–9+. • Safe humidity window — continue to monitor closely, as the dense colas can surprise you. ⸻ Practical checklist for Week 7 • Support colas: stake, tie, or net if branches keep falling. Weight will only increase. • Dehumidify if possible: even a small drop to ~55% would reduce risk of bud rot. • Airflow: max canopy circulation; keep oscillating fans moving air through colas, not just over them. • Microscope/loupe checks: continue logging trichomes daily or every other day — aim for a clear photographic timeline. • Smell watch: sudden changes in aroma (musty instead of fruity/sweet) can be early warning of mold. • Continue balanced feeding: don’t pull nutrients too early — Week 7 is still active bulking. ⸻ Reflection — the beauty of Week 7 Both Sundae Drivers are now showing their full potential: heavy colas, strong resin, vibrant health despite high heat and humidity challenges. This week is less about intervention and more about careful support: holding up branches, keeping airflow right, and letting the plants finish their masterpiece. The photos and videos (especially the behind-the-scenes “hands and camera” shots) add a human touch to the diary, it’s not just about the plants, but about the grower’s relationship with them. That connection, plus the technical details, is what makes our journey so special. ⸻ Gratitude & closing Week 7 is a turning point, the moment where patience pays off, where you get to watch the plants finish their story. Thank you to Plagron and Aptus for the tools, and thank you to the community who reads, comments, and shares this journey. We are almost there, but not yet. The best is still coming. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S. 🌱✨ For those of you who are afraid of trying out super cropping, this diary is living proof that it works. The bent stem bounced back stronger, healed into a solid knuckle, and rewarded us with extra bud sites and bigger flowers. Don’t fear new techniques. If your plant is stretching too much, or if you want to unlock more yield, super cropping is a safe, effective way to train her. Trust your plants, trust the process, they’re stronger than you think.

The girls are looking great! I took off the last few leaves under the net. It’s been raining almost nonstop for a week so the humidity is a little on the high side. I’m going to flush them today and then switch to the flowering feeding schedule.

Los cogollos se están volviendo grandes como puños. Las hojas de la planta central se tornaron amarillas, luego cobre hasta quemarse las puntas por falta de nutrientes debido al bajo EC del agua.

🎂 Rocko’s Cake Off 🍰🍪💚 Tag 15–21 | Die Katze ist aus dem Sack! Die Kleinen entwickeln sich erstaunlich gleichmäßig. Diese Woche gab’s zum ersten Mal etwas Fish-Mix – kam richtig gut an! 🌱 Einmal habe ich die Kleinen etwas zu trocken werden lassen. Haben sie mir aber nicht lange übel genommen und sich schnell wieder erholt.💧 Äußerlich war der kleinen Rasselbande noch immer nicht anzusehen, wer hier eigentlich Männlein oder Weiblein ist. Also ging die Post ins Labor – Realtime-PCR statt Rätselraten! Und jetzt ist die Katze aus dem Sack: Acht Kandidaten, drei Mädels! Zwei Peaches & Cream und eine White Gushers Cake. Und das Beste: Meine Favoriten haben es tatsächlich in die Damenmannschaft geschafft! ✅♀️😎 Besonders Peaches & Cream #2 hatte sich mit ihren auffälligen Praying Leaves schon früh verdächtig gemacht. Die Kleine stand als Einzige da, als wollte sie sich freiwillig melden.⬆️ 😂 Die drei Mädels bekommen ihre Plätze: Zwei ziehen später in 25-Liter-Stofftöpfe mit frischem Substrat, die Dritte bekommt wahrscheinlich einen kleineren Topf an der Seite. Vorher gibt’s allerdings neue Schuhe: Diese Woche sollen sie erstmal in 3,5-Liter-Zwischentöpfe umziehen. Die bisherigen sind langsam doch etwas knapp geworden. Vielleicht wird auch schon das erste Mal getoppt. Geplant ist grundsätzlich ein Double Pruning, um die Pflanzen kompakt und buschig zu halten. Besonders die White Gushers Cake soll schließlich nicht gleich das ganze Zelt überwuchern. Deshalb gibt’s in der Vegi jetzt zusätzlich einen höheren Blauanteil durch die LED-Leisten. 💙 Auch den VPD werde ich langsam anheben. Bisher lief das Klima noch eher auf Sämlingsniveau. Fazit: Drei Mädels, die richtigen Favoriten erwischt und die nächsten Schritte stehen fest. Kann man nicht meckern! 😎 📢 Kleinanzeige: Fünf junge Männer zum Mitreisen abzugeben! 🎡🤣 Jung, knackig, gut erzogen und voller Tatendrang. Leider im falschen Casting gelandet. Bei Interesse einfach melden! 😉 Bake a sweeter tomorrow 💟&☮️ 🎂 Rocko’s Cake Off 🍰🍪💚 Day 15–21 | The Cat’s Out of the Bag! The little ones are developing surprisingly evenly. This week they got their first taste of Fish-Mix – and they absolutely loved it! 🌱 I accidentally let them dry out a little too much one day. But they didn't hold a grudge for long and bounced right back. 💧 There was still no way to tell just by looking at this little bunch of troublemakers who was male and who was female. So off went the samples to the lab – Realtime PCR instead of playing the guessing game! And now the cat's out of the bag: Eight candidates, three ladies! Two Peaches & Cream and one White Gushers Cake. And the best part? My personal favorites actually made it onto the girls' team! ✅♀️😎 Peaches & Cream #2 in particular had already raised some suspicions with her striking praying leaves. She was the only one standing there like she was volunteering to answer a question. ⬆️😂 The three ladies have earned their spots: Two will eventually move into 25-liter fabric pots with fresh substrate, while the third will probably get a smaller pot on the side. But first, it's time for some new shoes! This week they'll move into 3.5-liter intermediate pots. Their current ones are getting a little too tight. There might even be some topping involved already. The general plan is double pruning to keep the plants compact and bushy. Especially White Gushers Cake – we don't want her taking over the entire tent just yet! That's also why I've added some extra blue light during veg using the LED bars. 💙 I'll gradually increase the VPD as well. So far, the climate has still been running more at seedling levels. Conclusion: Three ladies, my favorites made the cut, and the next steps are all lined up. Can't complain about that! 😎 📢 Classified Ad: Five young gentlemen available for relocation! 🎡🤣 Young, vigorous, well-behaved, and full of energy. Unfortunately, they showed up for the wrong casting call. Anyone interested, just give me a shout! 😉 Bake a sweeter tomorrow. 💟&☮️

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cosecha de estas FBA-2506 de FastBuds. Por dónde empezar, es una autofloreciente que es normalita de cultivar, tiene un periodo corto de crecimiento y de floración igual no es largo. En cuanto a la alimentación , pues la aplique una vez por semana y a sido suficiente, se a comportado bien en interior, la flor pues no es muy prieta porque no deja de ser una autofloreciente, pero es una flor que va repleta de tricomas, y tienes unos colores morado intensos. El periodo de luz pues de principio a fin a 18 horas, fue suficiente para completar el ciclo de vida como esperaba. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Transplanted in the afternoon of 10/23 because they were rooting out of the pucks. Got some humidity dome cups coming tomorrow and another inline fan to handle intake to try to dial in things a bit more. Fugue State #2, in the black pot is still a bit shell shocked, hopefully it opens up soon. Well both #2 and #3 damped off / shell shocked to death, so there's just one left, c'est la vie. #1 is trucking along well and ready for week 2. Sprayed with Neem Oil on 10/24 Fed Light Fox Farms Blend on 10/25 Treated with NemAttack on 10/26
