- Week 6 -
----- Day 36 -----
No feeding today as it was tomorrow so nutrient line up isn't up yet. I'll do that tomorrow.
Ladies are perfect, I can't wait. less than 30 days away.
----- Day 37 -----
Today is feeding but back left is behind the other 3 again, gave the other 3 500ml of tap water (10ppm) to prevent turgor pressure loss while back left dries up.
Should be feeding in 3-4 hours. 23L 1100-1500ppm (new feeding, so ppm end is not known atm) 6.4 pH
Plants are insane, big Bertha has become middle Bertha as the other stems have fattened up quickly.
Speaking of which plants are in bulk period, 3~ weeks left so it's an exciting time to watch them fatten up.
**UPDATE** Fed at 1000ppm 23L 6.4pH
The removal of FloraNova Bloom, and letting the chelated Diamond Nectar go to work on the molasses brings down the "accountable" parts by the machine I use. 1000ppm is full strength on all fertilizers being used.
I might add more molassses in the future and bring it up to 2ml/L, and maybe a smidge of epsom salts next feeding via foliar or direct feeding after I do some research.
No more KoolBloom liquid, KoolBloom powder begins and she's a strong one.
----- Day 38 -----
Yesterday back left plant has me unnecessarily anxious. It didn't need watering till 2 hours before lights off.
What I did is fed the other 3 90% of the feeding, and only gave back left 10% (closed the irrigation heads till the end of feeding).
I'm HOPING it was the plant transitioning from pre-bulk flower to bulk-flower stage, and maybe it slowed down photosynthesis to concentrate on hormonal changes. I dont know I'm anxious and just talkin out loud.
I'll know within 72 hours if there's a major issue with back left. Plant looks fine, i'm just paranoid.
Pictures later today around mid light cycle. Buds are getting insanely fat.
**Update**
Was bored. Here's some wicked shots. Still 25-27~ days left and its big bulk time. Can't wait to see them at the end.
----- Day 39 -----
Everything is great.
Feeding late tonight or potentially tomorrow depending on back left plant. I want to make sure bottom center of the root zone has dried out and doesn't begin to mold before I water again.
This will also help prevent fungus gnats in the soil.
I'll keep the other 3 away from turgor pressure loss, but they got 90% of the feeding last time so I expect them to dry by the time back left is.
*** Update ***
Now the other 3 plants who were faster on water intake than back left yesterday have slowed down.
Weed growing knowledge at a Horticultural greenhouse scientific repeatable level is pure fucking garbage.
I have 6~ books and checked dozens of sites and there was major conflicting info on water intake.
That's the problem with cannabis, it was illegal for so damn long horticulture practices and knowledge never molded or were used in the process and now it's anyone's fucking guess as to who is telling truth or is spouting bullshit bro-science.
Don't even get me started on names.
What a stupid god damn naming system "counter-culture" created... I'm growing wedding cake.. WEDDING CAKE? Wtf.
That's stupid as shit. Give weed botanical Latin names based on appearance and technical factors PLEASE!!!!!!
If I could name this plant it would be (Cannibas v. hybrid 'multa-magnum-fragum-gemmae-dulcis') why? It's due to it being a; Cannabis plant, hybrid variety 'multiple big bud strawberry candy' showing off multiple long bud stems smelling of candy,
Is that more convoluted and arrogant than Wedding cake?
YES, it is.
Is it better?
YES fuck your stupid wedding cake name.
That's dumb. And you should feel bad.
Still want to argue? Name it Cannabis v. Hybrid 'crustulam nuptias' THERE! Wedding cake. fuuuck!
99.99% of plant names are Latin.
Anyways... back to the point...
I hypothesize that there is a secondary transition portion of flower where the plant (like in stretch transition) pauses its growth to move the hormone and nutrient production to other sources. This secondary pause happens JUST before bulk session begins.
This hypothesis states roughly that up until final big bulk period (last 3-4 weeks), fan leaves and sugar leaves could still be produced by the plant during a "predator" or "high weather event" situation that would cripple the plants photosynthesis for final bud/seeding production during early to mid stage flowering.
Once the plant has reached adequate nutrient reserves or some other time or light cycle based trigger, it removes the hormonal/internal production/ability of sugar/fan leaves still being potentially produced out of the internode stem cells and fully stops that ability and concentrates 100% of growth on bud structure and protection of bud structures through THC/CBA/CBC/CBD etc. (Im a little tipsy, can't spell cannabinoid leave me alone...) production.
Tonight I will at 30 minutes before lights off be judging the water requirements during sleep of each plant to prevent turgor pressure loss, and to allow each plant to finish this transition and get back to major water intake by feeding tomorrow morning.
It's insanely obvious somethings changed.
I Was worried that leaving back left plant with stagnant water in the bottom saucer (pot doesn't sit directly in the water but is 3 inches above it) had released mold spores and started destroying the root mass of the back left plant but:
1) No obvious plant death signs, weakness or other aspects of it being a slow death from bottom up.
2) The other plants did the same damn thing within 48 hours.... and the back left plant is by far the largest and gets the most "light" due to its size hence it would most likely (HYPOTHESIS) finish its secondary cycle a bit faster due to just volume and weight.
Listen i'm not gonna say this is all 100% correct knowledge, It's based off feeling and "knowing" plant cycles as a greenhouse certified Horticultural Technician.
Repeated efforts to grow and replicating situations that created these things over and over is the real proof and will come in time.
One major benefit is the fact I WILL be re-flowering these for the VERY LEAST 3 full flowering cycles as long as they don't die during flower to veg transition.
I will be getting them THC tested EVERY SINGLE flower cycle to prove without a doubt the "maximum maturity" possible of a weed plant re-veg flower cycling, just like how we know by the 5th or 6th successive clone, the DNA will deteriorate and the grow will be stunted or a lesser bud high and yield.
God I fucking ramble when I'm bored and tipsy.
----- Day 40 -----
Fed at 1350ppm 6.3pH 23L
Plants are doing great.
**Update**
Little fun video from mid light cycle.
Roughly 20-25 days left.
Will finish at 30% amber 70% cloudy and will cut branch by branch as they are done, not in a rush to do 1 single cut and will let them survive to re-veg easier and less stressful.
----- Day 41 -----
Easy day. Here's some pics.
Just basically have to watch the grass grow today.
----- Day 42 -----
Big photo day, used ruler for most shots.
End of beginning of bulk, big bulk starts tomorrow.
Could probably feed late night tonight but I'm going to just give 500-750 ml of water depending on roots needs before lights off.
Tomorrow will be a big feed for first day of week 7.
Tropicanna Glookies tips on back right are beginning to darken and become purple. I am hoping this whole plant turns purple in last 2-3 weeks.
We will see.
**Update**
Back right plant is starting to turn purple and FAST. Pretty awesome.

High all. Another week passed and I'm already at 50 days. Wow. Where did that go? Girls are looking pretty. Stretch is over now and there's plenty of fluff all over.
Kicking the nutrients up a notch now. Also, they all have a bit more room as the last of the previous grow is now in jars.
Feeding every other watering. now about 1 litre every other day.
Hopefully, they will turn out ok. But there's no truth to that until it hits the scales.
Happy growing everyone!

The grow was super easy, rapid growth and incredible strength, no deficiencies..fed 3/4 strength General Hydroponics nutrient line. Ended up topping her two times on multiple branches, giving her a total of 11 tops. Overall medium height with an amazing manifold and thick stem. Harvested on day 62, with a 10 day flush and no darkening stage. An absolutely great strong structure being able to hold it's weight of 132 Grams⚖️️. Right up until harvest day when I went to move her she finally bent but never broke or snapped 💯. Will be in my constant rotation. Recommended completely 💯👏🍍 🔥

🌸 Week 5 Flower – RollerCoaster Haze 🌸
The RollerCoaster Haze girls are thriving in mid-flower, building structure and stacking buds at an incredible pace. Both phenos are stretching into the canopy with strength, white pistils everywhere, and flower sites developing beautifully. The plants are balanced, vibrant, and showing no signs of stress, just healthy, determined growth.
💧 Nutrition & Feeding
This week we’ve adjusted the recipe, stopping the All-in-One Liquid completely as the soil and pellets still provide plenty of slow-release nutrition. The focus now is on a lean, targeted bloom feed, keeping the roots active without oversaturating. Current recipe (all at 1ml/L):
• Aptus Regulator
• Aptus CalMag Boost
• Plagron Green Sensation
• Plagron Sugar Royal
• Plagron Power Buds
Solution runs steady at pH 6.0–6.1 with EC balanced to complement the soil’s reserves. The results speak for themselves: stalks, roots, and leaves are thriving, and the flowers are coming on strong.
Environment
• Soil Temp: ~24°C
• Room Temp: ~28–29°C
• Humidity: ~65%
• VPD: ~1.3–1.4 kPa
Airflow, extraction, and monitoring keep the conditions stable. Despite the size of these girls, they’re handling the environment perfectly.
💡 Inner Canopy Lighting – ICL300
This week I want to highlight the role of the ICL300 inner canopy lights. These lights are designed to deliver light where traditional overhead fixtures can’t: deep inside the canopy.
Why does this matter?
• As plants stretch and leaves overlap, the lower branches and bud sites often receive far less light. Without supplemental lighting, these inner flowers stay smaller, less dense, and less developed.
• Inner canopy lights like the ICL300 solve this by pushing photons directly into those shaded areas, ensuring the lower and middle buds get the energy they need to bulk up.
Spectrum: The ICL300 units provide a balanced white spectrum with a red push, tailored to maximize flowering response while avoiding heat stress. This means not only are the tops getting stacked, the inner and lower flowers are also swelling, making for a more even, consistent harvest.
The difference is visible already: the RollerCoaster Haze girls aren’t just top-heavy. The mid-canopy sites are developing beautifully, with structure filling out in layers instead of just one dominant top.
🌼 Pistils: White Hairs Everywhere
At Week 5, pistils (the fine white hairs that emerge from each calyx) are one of the clearest signs of flower development. They serve two major purposes:
• Reproduction: pistils are part of the female flower’s reproductive system, designed to catch pollen if it’s present.
• Growth indicator: the color, abundance, and orientation of pistils give us a direct look into the maturity of the flower.
Some genetics push out bright white pistils, while others lean slightly toward cream, yellowish, or even orange tones earlier in bloom. This variation is completely normal and tied to the plant’s lineage.
At this stage, the RollerCoaster Haze girls are full of vigorous white pistils, standing tall and reaching outwards. This shows they are actively building flowers and pushing energy into new calyx formation. It’s also a reminder that this week is about observation: watching how the pistils evolve will tell us not only about maturity, but also about how each pheno expresses itself.
Later on, pistils will darken and curl inward as the calyxes swell, but right now, their abundance and brightness are a clear signal of healthy, strong flowering.
🌱 Observations
• Bud sites are stacking with strong pistil production.
• Inner canopy looks healthy and productive thanks to the ICL300.
• Plants remain lush, green, and full of energy.
• Root systems are still vigorous, visible at the soil surface.
✨ Reflection
Week 5 Flower shows how balance in nutrition, environment, and lighting can work together to create truly explosive growth. By dialing in the recipe, highlighting pistil development, and introducing inner canopy lighting, we’re not only supporting the tops but ensuring that every bud site gets its chance to shine.
The RollerCoaster ride continues, and these girls are carrying us higher every week.

The humidity this week has been brutal. It appears I have a little bit of mold stating just on the fan leaves at the base of the plant. Waiting on a dehumidifier to arrive. Hopefully this doesn’t affect the plant too much.
The plant on the right continues to stretch, but as you can see I’m running out of room. Not sure what I’ll do if it continues to stretch! Any suggestions welcome!

Day 50 since seed touched soil. From now on all is in stable position.
Twins always will be in center, looks sad a bit, was needing watering maybe yesterday before lights off, missed few hours for not making them droopy.
5 liters went in, want good run off and saturation.
Later today will install second level of scrog.
Reposition all shoots, some are lost, i almost regret instaling scrog, lost control of even height a bit, but canopy is very dense, branches went fatter during that week, i am happy .
Mars TSL2000 is on 80% will increase to 90% at the end of this week.
Day 53. Second level of scrog almost eaten, will have to make third, plus heavy clearing awaits next week ...
Day 54. Think tomorrow is watering day. Girls need good clearing, bottom canopy been canibalised heavily, lack off air shows a lot. Will do third level of scrog together with watering.
Day 55. Twins are thirsty !!! They are very sensitive , yesterday all good, pot still heavy for a day and today they look like this, pot light ;))) will recover in few hours.
Watered, did light cleaning before, only bottoms and shoots with 0 chance to make it ... Watering exposed new roots, plant occupies top up lair fast !
Happy Growing !!!

For our Zamnesia girls It's time to work our magic, since October 1st we are in flowering, the plants have vegetated for exactly 4 weeks, a single top was done on some, others are growing straight, some clones here and there still in veg.
Our Test 2 XXXX are the princesses of the grow. They are plants with a wide internodal distance, they eat a lot of fertilizer and are really very healthy. One was topped only once but leaving many branches underneath. The other is growing straight and fast as lightning. We passed October 1st in flowering but this that you see is the photographic documentation of the last week of vegetative. The photos were taken exactly 1 month after birth September 1st - October 1st
--- Technique chosen (depending on the characteristics of the plant) - The plants are not doing very well when it is like this I decide to search for the miracle; on one I did a topping and cleaned a lot and left it in veg, the other one went just a little cleaned straight into flowering.
--- Feeding Program - The fertilizers are always Plagron and I am following the table that I generated on the site depending on the substrate chosen. Create your card and follow it, never be presumptuous my friend as I have been in the past, follow the card and look at the plants, not all need the same amount of fertilizer. We have arrived at the time to give a good hit of iron in the first weeks of flowering, already of life race not sprayed but mixed with fertilizers. We have Switched to fertilizers for flowering.
---- https://plagron.com/en
- Power Roots - 1ml/l
- Alga Grow - 4 ml/l -
Pure Zym - 1 ml/l
- Sugar Royal - 1ml/l
- Vita Race - 3 ml/l
--- The 100% Organic pack by Plagron can be found on Zamnesia at the link: https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-pla gron-easy-pack-natural.html
--- We have removed the dehumidifier and now the values range from 45 to 60% we will put the dehumidifiers into operation in the 3/4 week of bloom
// Strain Description // Strain Coming Soon!
- Get a seed of this fantastic strain --- new strain coming soon get others for now.
- Soil and Fertilizers entirely organic --- https://plagron.com/en buy on www.zamnesia.io

The stretch was in full swing this week 🌸 Both plants showed strong vertical growth, with the flowering transition now clearly underway.
• Height approx. ~90 cm
• Strong vertical expansion
• Stretch phase fully active
Light intensity was increased to ~850 PPFD ☀️ and the fixture had to be raised slightly as the plants continued growing closer to the light.
Clear phenotypic differences became more pronounced:
• Pheno #2 stretched significantly and developed very large fan leaves. Its structure is compact, with side branches growing close to the main stem, creating a dense canopy. To improve light penetration, around 4–6 large fan leaves were removed ✂️
• Pheno #1 continues to grow more evenly, with side branches spreading outward and staying closer in height to the main top.
Leaf posture also differs between the phenotypes:
• Pheno #2 shows strong praying, especially in the upper canopy ☀️
• Pheno #1 shows more moderate praying
Water demand increased during the stretch phase:
• ~4L per watering until runoff 💧
Feeding this week:
• 1x Orgatrex
• 1x Greenhouse Bio Enhancer
• Otherwise water + BioBizz CalMag
Environment remained stable:
• ~25°C temperature
• ~55% RH 🌡️
White pistils are now clearly visible across the plant, especially on Pheno #2, confirming the transition into early flower.
Overall this week showed strong stretch, increasing flower formation, and very clear phenotypic differences between the two plants ?🔥

They're showing signs of early flower now, so going to get stuck in there in the next couple of days and do some lollipoping and bending.
Went in today and did a major LST/HST training and took all the small growth under and gave them a feed. So let's see how they bounce back. Which I'm almost sure they will.
