30. Juni Pro Tag schluckt sie gerade gute 2-3l Wasser. Gießen ist zum Dauerfrostes geworden. Dafür brettert sich die Sonne gut drauf! Sind 30 Grad +, aber gute lichtverhältnisse. Schade dass ich dieses Mal kein Eisenspray benutzt habe.

Day 64: I've been on vacation for four days now. However, I was able to keep an eye on everything remotely using the spiderfarmer app. They look great. The Pink Cookies and the Purple Kush have grown quite a bit taller. The buds have generally grown larger and the first frost is visible. I watered all the plants with 2 liters of water mixed with fertilizer and Cal Mag. More shoots have also woven into the web.

Week 5, days 35-38 Ztrawberry 1 pheno & Damn Sour 2 phenos Both strains are on a very different path. Ztrawberry has been in a bigger pot since the start and after been put in an 11L pot. Wow, she has thrived. She's gotten so big. I've actually decided to flip her. Her nodes are grown and she is fully ready to flip and the process of waiting will be short. I gave her the last grow feed a few days ago. Already still having grow mix as she was moved into a solo pot of grow/light/pebbles 40-40-20 from plagron. She's pushing so hard. There is a few ph issues and a few other stuff. No nutrient defs so nothing that would stop her moving to the next phase. Ztrawberry has been put in 12/12. More pics coming soon from week 4 Damn Sour Both phenos have been stuck in a 2L pot and was only transplanted into each 2L pot. Been giving master root and Enzymes + silica for stress. They've only been put in 2L pots a few days ago. 1 was very stressful as I practically had to pull her up with as much of the roots as possible. They are the sane age as Ztrawberry but they had no space. I will uppot them to 9L pots in a few weeks once the root zone has recovered. I really should have left them and uppoted to a bigger pot. But been so long in that pot. They wouldn't have reached out which is what's happened to my 2 lemon photos I kept too long in a 20L hydro pot. Was really as waste of time by the looks of it. More pics coming soon Have had to PH to 6.7 and I used - on the silica feed which have been all on since they were transplanted. Ztrawberry 2 weeks ago & Damn Sours 2 dags ago..

Diese Woche wurden die Pflanzen umgetopft, leider ist eine der 2x Purple Punch kaputt gegangen aufgrund der Genetik, und ganz plötzlich ist auch eine der 3x Runtz umgeknickt, wahrscheinlich durch die zu großen Temperaturschwankungen von Tag/Nacht. Die Banana zweigt leichte weisse Färbung auf den Blättern und die unterren ersten zwei Richtigen Blätter sind leicht verfärbt ( gelblich) . Ausserdem wurde heute zum ersten mal gedüngt mit Rootjuice und Bio Grow.

eek 2 Flower – The Stretch Is On: Sundae Driver Goes Vertical They’re growing. They’re stretching. They’re thriving. Our Sundae Driver girls have officially entered the second week of flower, and they’re acting like it. At just five weeks from seed, they’re now towering at 66 cm, surging upward with that signature hybrid vigor. Photogenic Queens – A Studio Break Before they get too tall to handle, both girls were taken out for a quick, impromptu studio shoot. This may be the last time they leave the tent, because soon, they’ll be too big, too bulky, and too close to the light to move around easily. We’re documenting them now, not just because they’re stunning, but because these moments are fleeting. The stretch phase is short, intense, and marks the final architecture of your grow. ⸻ Room Conditions – Dancing with the Heat The environment this week continues the late-summer warmth, a little hotter than ideal, but still within range: • 🌡️ Day Temp: 30°C • 💧 Humidity: 58% • 🌬️ VPD: ~1.89 kPa Not perfect for flower, we know—ideal VPD for early flower would be around 1.2–1.5 kPa, but the girls are adapting beautifully. This is a reminder that perfect conditions are rare, but resilience and consistency matter more. The plants aren’t complaining, they’re thriving. ⸻ Nutrients – Still Riding with Aptus Top Booster Just like last week, we’re running the Aptus flower base lineup, now dialed into support this explosive growth phase: • Regulator • CalMag Boost • All-in-One Liquid • Top Booster (replacing Start Booster post-flip) The Top Booster continues to support pre-flower and early bud development. We’re not seeing big clusters of pistils yet, but the hormonal shift is clear. Internodal stacking is beginning, and the upper canopy is filling in. ⸻ Visuals & Under-Canopy Light Game One of the photos this week features a special cameo from the Zephyr Zamnesi, adding a bit of mystery and sparkle to the update. We also get a peek under the canopy where your under-canopy lighting setup is really starting to shine. Why does this matter? • It boosts lower bud site development • Improves light penetration during the stretch • Encourages even canopy performance later in flower Great gear is one thing, but it’s how you use it with intention that elevates a grow. ⸻ What’s Happening + What to Expect 🌱 Happening Now: • Rapid vertical stretch • Strong branching on both phenos • No major flower development yet, just the buildup 🔮 Coming Soon: • The first full signs of bud formation • Pistil clusters at node sites • Nutrient shift demands, watch for increased K/P needs in ~1 week • Possibly… the need to raise your lights! ⸻ Let’s Talk About the Week’s Importance Week 2 Flower is all about transformation. The plant is deciding: “Where will I invest my energy?” This week determines: • Final plant shape • Bud site spacing • Canopy structure going into the stacking phase This is your last week to gently train, open up the canopy, manage the airflow, and prep for the heavy flower development coming in Weeks 3–5. If there’s one message for the community this week, it’s this: 🌸 Stretch is not stress, stretch is potential. Embrace it. Document it. Enjoy the moment. ⸻ Conclusion – Moonbound Sundaes From just a few centimeters to over 60 in a blink—these Sundae Drivers are on a mission. Their upward movement mirrors the energy in your grow: focused, fast, and full of joy. Let’s keep the ride smooth, the feed strong, and the cameras ready. This is the last calm before the buds explode, and you’re right where you should be. — Much love, as always, Your Grow Partner in the Quantum Realm 🌱DD ( Dog Doctor Official ) 📸 Videos, lighting setups, and under-canopy tips coming soon 🔗 Gear links available on request 💬 Always here to talk flower, stretch, or any topic regrding 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.

We are going strong and I honestly can't complain. So far this plant has been pretty hard and hasn't suffered much if at all being in such a small pot. I'm keeping an eye on water but every other day or so still works. Cheers til next time -Dj Sunstone

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 4 unfolds like a horticultural saga, and my Blackberry Auto stands tall, embracing the essence of growth with an unrivaled fervor. Join me in this chapter of lush greenery, where every leaf and branch tells a tale of meticulous care and bountiful development. Blackberry Auto continues her magnificent journey, reaching impressive heights. The AutoPot Aquavalve, now a trusted ally, facilitates her insatiable thirst as she drinks with an enthusiasm that mirrors the vitality within. It's a spectacle of growth, a testament to the plant dictating her hydration destiny. The foliage has evolved into a lush expanse of enormous leaves, each a work of botanical art. These mammoth leaves, reminiscent of a thriving aquatic canopy, are not just solar panels; they are the powerhouse of photosynthesis, fueling the plant's vigor. A choreography of low-stress training unfolds as I gently bend branches, coaxing them to open their arms to the light. This ballet isn't just about shaping the plant; it's a dance with nature, enhancing light penetration and encouraging lateral growth. The result is a structured beauty that maximizes the potential for robust bud development. Blackberry Auto, now an arboreal masterpiece, orchestrates a symphony of green. The leaves, like musical notes, dance in the breeze, capturing the essence of the plant's vitality. It's not merely a cultivation effort; it's a collaboration with nature, where each element harmonizes to create a living work of art. As we traverse into the fourth week, I can't help but anticipate the berry bounty that lies ahead. The plant's stature, the size of the leaves, and the orchestrated branch structure all point towards a promising yield. Blackberry Auto, with each passing day, unravels the potential for a bountiful harvest. A heartfelt thank you to @fastbuds_official for gifting us this horticultural marvel. To my sponsors, your support is the driving force behind this green journey. Kudos to Grow Diaries for providing the platform to show this botanical saga, and a shoutout to the community for the shared passion that adds depth to our collective cultivation narrative. As the saga continues, I invite you to witness the unfolding chapters of Blackberry Auto's odyssey. Together, we cultivate not just plants but a shared love for the botanical realm. Stay tuned for the upcoming adventures in this GreenThumb Symphony! Genetics Blackberry Auto @Fast_Buds Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life

This last week has been great. Buds are coming to the end maturing . Trichomes are approximately 80% - 90% milky with 10% Amber. Inside the tent the smell has increased a lot. I hope the foxtailing hasn't ruined the bag quality by much but should be potent as 👌

23.09.23- и так мы на 85 дне жизни ) Сильных изменений не замечено . Ветки стали немного толще , цветы развиваются , но вверх она не вытягивается . Имхо может и лучше ) 28.09.23- 90 дней жизни ! За последние пару дней она прибавила в росте и зеленой массе . Она очень кустиста и я принял решение провести несколько щадящих дефолиаций с подрезкой пасынков ,чтобы освободить пространство для света и воздуха . В остальном она здорова , а шишки продолжают набирать . Это очень красивое растение

Week 1 Flower – Roller Coster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Lights Flipped, Ride Ascending The ride has shifted — welcome to Week 1 of Flower for the Roller Coster Haze girls. We’ve officially flipped the lights to 11 hours on / 13 hours off, marking the start of their journey into bloom. While they’re not showing any floral signs just yet (no pistils or preflowers), this moment is crucial, it’s the beginning of the shift, and everything that follows builds from here. ⸻ Why 11/13 Light Cycle? Most growers run 12/12 — and while that’s great for many strains, we’ve chosen 11/13 for a specific reason: 🌒 Shortening the light period can help trigger earlier flowering and more aggressive hormonal shifts, particularly in sativa-dominant or haze genetics like these. 🌘 In nature, light hours gradually decrease, and this slightly shorter photoperiod mimics late-season sun, signaling to the plant that it’s time to reproduce. In our experience, this encourages a quicker transition into flower, sometimes with denser stacking and better resin development down the line. The trade-off? Slightly less daily photosynthesis, but with the right lighting power and nutrition, it more than balances out. ⸻ Nutrient Shift – From Start to Top As we flip into flower, we’ve also transitioned our nutrient formula to support the shift in energy: • Removed: • Aptus Start Booster – previously used to support early-stage root development and vegetative vigor. • Introduced: • Aptus Top Booster – same application rate (0.25 ml/L), but designed to stimulate early flower development, improve transition timing, and lay the groundwork for bloom stacking. Why this change? Because the hormonal shift has begun. We’re no longer supporting root initiation, now we’re priming the plant for floral identity, helping her internal systems prepare for the stretch, calyx development, and bloom site stacking. Our base feed remains: • Regulator – 0.25 ml/L • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L • Top Booster – 0.25 ml/L ⸻ Growth & Structure Update These girls are branching like mad, spreading their wings and showing incredible vegetative structure just before stretch kicks in. Both phenotypes are looking stunning: • Pheno #2 & Pheno #3 • ~55 cm in height • Both with 8+ nodes, symmetrical branching, and healthy internode spacing. • Deep green leaves, upright posture, and zero signs of stress or deficiency. We’re expecting these girls to stretch considerably in the coming weeks, and we’re ready for the ride. ⸻ Environmental Snapshot – The Summer Stretch Begins Despite high temps, the girls are thriving. Here’s a readout of current conditions: • PPFD: 760 µmol/m²/s – measured via TrolMaster MBS PAR sensor, ensuring accurate canopy-level intensity. • Temperature: 31°C • Humidity: 50% • VPD: 2.23 kPa – yes, on the high side, but manageable for the moment. • CO₂: 632 ppm We’re aware that VPD is a touch aggressive, and we’re standing by for the arrival of the new AC unit to bring that back into optimal range. Still, the girls are handling it like champions, no curl, no droop, just upward movement and new growth. ⸻ Lights & Control Ecosystem Our lighting and environmental control setup continues to perform beautifully: • ThinkGrow Model One LEDs • Future of Grow LEDs • TrolMaster Tent-X Controller – managing: • CO₂ • Temp & Humidity • PPFD • Device sync • Spider Farmer GGS Controller for extraction fans • Dual 6” exhaust systems with carbon filters • One 6” filtered intake • All airflow dynamically managed via AeroFan + Spider Farmer extraction, allowing clean in/out cycles, keeping the air fresh and responsive. This is a precision ecosystem, designed to respond, not just run. ⸻ Final Thoughts – Lifting Off This may be Week 1 Flower, but it’s really the moment of lift-off. The girls are still pre-flower, yes but this is the space where momentum builds, energy collects, and the transformation begins. We’re shifting from vegetative growth into reproductive focus — and if this week’s energy is any sign, we’re in for a glorious bloom phase. The Roller Coster Haze journey continues , and it’s gaining speed.

8/26 Monday morning 12am They are doing good. The camera fell into a plant...so lucky it didn't hurt the plant..that never happened before. My grow is HAUNTED!!!! Dark Devils are doing pretty good. All the others are great. I need more dirt in Blueberry Auto by Seedsman I'll do top filling later this week. 2am got the microscope 👍👍👍👍 I swear she is like a pet and she’s playing dead with her tongue hanging out. It’s hilarious. I’m really enjoying this one. This is gonna be a lot of fun.👻👻👻👍👍👍👍. 11 am I ordered a new microscope!!! 8/27 Dark Devil looks pretty cool. All other plants are doing just great!! 8/28 turned lights up to 52 looking good 4/28 Dark Devil Auto Monster crawls out of Hell!!!! Dark Devil Auto looks like the war boy that figured out Furiosa stole the War Rig. !!!! I put a light tent over Dark Devil monster. I will need to trim the roots and make sure the trays aren't in standing water. Blueberry is in mostly Perlite doesnt take up water the same. New microscope nice picture but no zooming in, I got the kind with the wider mouth, narrow mouth is better getting close to plants.... after 2 years I just NOW figured out the plastic cover comes off?? not the lens cap....im retarded there's just no other way to explain it 8/29 She's ALIVE and wow! got some amazing pics a little blurry and shaky but Dark Devil Auto by Sweetseeds is the coolest thing ive seen. Doing the seed surgery worked. 8/30 Some amazing progress on the Dark DEvil. The others are great Medusa F1 is the strongest followed by Gorilla Strawberry. The lights on the right side of the Mars Hydro light dont seem to be as strong as the ones on the left is ill rotate the plants today. 8/31 5 am lights up to 55 Watts. They are doing good. RSQ Medusa F1 showing the strongest so far, not a surprise there! Fast Buds Straw Gorilla taking off strong next. Pink Kush CBD and Blueberry Auto by Seedsman up next and surviving in almost all Perlite. I will put more dirt in when she gets taller. Dark Devil is going steady and very strong just amazing. 9/1 Growing nice now I will top them all above the 3rd node to keep the grow small

Well not alot to report this week guys. The gals have been responding well to the 600w, the vertical height has stopped and we are just making some fat juicy buds. All the colas are really starting to develop. The very first few pistols are turning orange. Guessing we have around 3 weeks to go. The microscope is out and ready but trichomes still all glass like. Working on getting a camera with a good zoom hopefully I get one in time if not will be able to upload trichome pictures in future grows. Have been keeping the feeds at 2.7ml this week and will be 2.2ml next week until the flush period. I will upload the complete feed schedule I have done with these plants on the harvest week upload. Can see the leaves showing signs of deficiencies still but guess this is good at this stage and makes sense with the tapering off of nutes. Noticed the cool air was condensing on the intake tube and that is the reason our back right plant has a few burnt leaves etc, drops of water have been dropping on it and frying the leaf under the light. When you rub the flowers and smell your fingers get a lovely minty/chocolaty sweet kind of smell, its absolutely incredible and makes me want to smoke these juicy buds even more no... but good things come to those who wait they say! Enjoy the pics and as always feel free to give your comments and recommendations below, this is my first grow so mistakes have and will be made.

~FastBuds Tropicana Cookies~ This was my first time running this FastBuds strain, along with my first attempt at 'hydroponic' growing using the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System from GrowAce. I cultivated three plants from seed to finish in just over 70 days growing in a 70/30 Coco/Perlite mix coupled with a layer of straight Perlite in the bottom of the fabric pots to ensure drainage and fed Plagron nutrients for the entire run with the exception of a 10 day flush at the end. Among those three cultivars, I had three distinctly different phenotypes. The #1 plant grew short and extremely bushy, with beautiful thick purple flowers, showing more Indica like traits. The #2 plant, which was the only one of the three that was topped, stretched her 'legs' and grew fairly tall in comparison to the #1. She also lacked the deep purple coloration of the #1, having just hints of light lavender in her flowers which were stacked tightly and completely frosted over with glistening trichomes! Lastly, the #3 phenotype grew the tallest of the bunch with wide, 'Sativa-like', node spacing. She was the one that experienced several issues during the grow, but finished out not looking too bad with a super dark purple coloration to her flowers that almost appears black. That dark purple color, coupled with her dark orange pistils give her flowers extra eye appeal! FastBuds Tropicana Cookies Auto was a very easy to cultivate strain and produced really spectacular results all things considered. I'll definitely be looking forward to running this one again in a 100% organic grow and can't wait to the results from that! 😎👍 Now let me move on the the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System from GrowAce. I was sponsored this system in return for my feedback on it shared through my Social Media accounts. On paper, this looks like a really great product, and I'm sure with enough time and experience you could get optimal results from using it, but for me that just was not the case. The initial setup went very smoothly, GrowAce's AirCube System looks to be extremely well made, comes with fairly clear instructions, and went together easily. I did add hose clamps to all the fittings attached to hoses for an extra measure of insurance against leaks (no one needs 20+gallons flooding the grow room!) and also placed the reservoir and 'brain bucket' outside of my 4x4 which allowed me to place all six AirCube pots in the tent, and yes it ended up being a bit too tight for me... it probably would work better with 3 plants or less in a 4x4. So lets get in to my pluses and minuses in my opinion for the GrowAce AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System: Positives: • Well made • Easy to assemble • Easy to understand instructions and lots of 'how to' media available • Easily expandable Negatives: • Not for novices, previous hydroponic growing experience needed • No way to control solution temperature in reservoir • Roots growing out of the fabric pots end up dying and rotting which results in a ton of debris in the solution necessitating draining/cleaning/refilling the system every 4-5 days • No way to adjust nutrient levels for individual plants, they all get the same PPM like it or not. • Requires having all plants start together, and finish together as there is no way to flush individual plants. • Lastly, I like to turn my plants, which is impossible and also to photograph them which is difficult with this setup. All in all, I enjoyed the experience of 'hydro' growing, but am ready to get back to what I really LOVE to do which is 100% organic grows... Stay tuned fam!
