My #1 plant is huge and doing amazing. Looks like loose soil is the way to go, not ever using root riots again- all the small plants were planted in root riots, but they’re catching up!

🌸 Week 6 Flower – RollerCoaster Haze 🌸 The RollerCoaster Haze ladies continue to impress, towering, branching, and now fully focused on flower production. At this stage, the stretch has slowed down and the energy is clearly moving into bud development. Both phenos are responding exactly as expected: stacking, swelling, and pushing out white pistils everywhere. 📸 Media Update This week we worked mostly with video content, editing clips to show different angles of the canopy, along with a handful of carefully edited photos. I also tested the GoPro inside the tent. While it captures the energy of the grow, the challenge remains: grow lights and reflective walls can be tricky for sensors. It’s part of the experimentation, learning what tools work best for documenting the journey. 🌱 Plant Development • Flowers: Buds are bulking up, calyxes swelling, and pistils standing tall and abundant. • Colas: Long, thick colas are forming, showing that the plants are putting their full effort into bloom. • Health: Leaves remain vibrant and healthy, a great sign that the nutrition plan is balanced. • Size: The girls are still ginormous, filling the tent with their structure and presence. 💧 Feeding & Environment The recipe continues as in Week 5 with the Aptus + Plagron combo, fine-tuned to deliver exactly what they need in mid-flower. The soil’s foundation combined with targeted liquids creates harmony between root uptake and flower demands. • pH: ~6.0 • EC: Moderate, adjusted to soil reserves • Temps: ~28–29°C • Humidity: ~65% • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 The girls show no stress signs, just steady flower development and consistent stacking. 🔬 Educational Spotlight: What Happens in Week 6 Flower? By Week 6, the plants are deep into reproductive growth. Here’s what to expect and observe: • Bud Bulking: Calyxes swell, flowers add weight, and colas begin to take their final shape. • Pistil Production: White hairs remain abundant, showing active flower growth. Some pistils may begin to slightly darken or curl in certain spot, a natural step in maturation. • Trichome Formation: Resin heads start to appear and multiply, laying the foundation for terpenes and cannabinoids. • Nutrient Focus: Plants now require a steady supply of phosphorus and potassium to fuel flower production, while still needing calcium and magnesium for structural support. This is also a week for observation. Every genetic expresses differently, some push pistils longer, others start swelling earlier, some stretch more, others pack tighter. It’s a reminder that growing is about watching, adapting, and learning from each cycle. 🌟 Looking Ahead • Expect even more bulking in the next two weeks, as the flowers really start to pack density. • Trichome coverage will increase noticeably, and aromas will begin to intensify. • Environmental control becomes crucial — high humidity can risk mold at this stage, so keeping air moving is key. ✨ Reflection Week 6 Flower is where the RollerCoaster Haze girls show their true potential. The canopy is vibrant, the flowers are swelling, and every sign points toward a powerful finish. This is the heart of the ride — and these plants are carrying us higher with every day. 🌸 Week 6 Flower – Summary 🌸 • Development: Buds bulking up, calyxes swelling, long colas forming, abundant white pistils. • Health: Vibrant leaves, strong root base, plants remain ginormous and thriving. • Feeding: Aptus + Plagron combo (no All-in-One Liquid), balanced P/K support, steady Ca/Mg. • Environment: • pH: ~6.0 • EC: Moderate, adjusted to soil reserves • Temp: ~28–29°C • RH: ~65% • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 • Notes: GoPro testing for photos/videos; documenting challenges with tent lighting. • Focus: Observation of pistil production, trichome development, and bud stacking. • Looking Ahead: Expect flowers to pack on more density and trichomes in the coming weeks. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Hi Growmies, The ladies are developing nicely and will slowly be transitioned from the spray bottle to regular top feeding. I have decided to not scrog the final candidate this time and will her grow into a nice little tree, using the scrog simply for support. She will also be introduced to sugar Royal as per the plagron feeding schedule, combined with some orca and calmag. I also want to point people in the direction of the photone app, a very helpful little helper that’ll help you getting a good guess of the ppms at your canopy. Here is the code that’ll give you 20% in Zamnesia‘s online store, just input ZAMMIGD2023 at checkout. Thanks for stepping by and until next week!

It has been a pretty good week for the girls. They are well into flower now. Unfortunately I noticed some brown spots starting to show up. I suspect the soil got a bit hot, so even though this is amended soil mix I watered them with a bit of run off at the end of this week to get some of those excess nuts out. They are starting to smell, and it’s quite a floral aroma, something I haven’t tried before. I imagine they will take another 3 weeks before the finish line... maybe even 4. It’s really nice so see how even they look, the same pheno 8 out of 8. Hope you’re enjoying the ride! 🍀

Hola gente!! Como veis han dado un buen estiron en 8 días, ya se ve el fruto de la poda apical, con dos ramas principales en cada planta. Color verde intenso y brillante, hoja muy ancha que nos dice que es una variedad indica pura. Las voy a inducir a floración ya, en un par de días despues de esto realizare una poda de bajos para estimular el crecimiento en altura. Como debe ser, reconozco mi fallo en no poner la semilla en macetero definitivo desde el principio, esto a hecho su crecimiento mas lento. Buenos humos para tod@s!!

*english version below* HydroLab – Woche „0“: Der Startschuss zur Blütephase „Bitte anschnallen – die Versuchspflanzen betreten jetzt die reproduktive Phase.“ Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, wo Photosynthese auf Wissenschaft trifft und die Pflanzen mittlerweile besser trainiert sind als mein Rücken. Diese Woche war ein echter System-Meilenstein: Letzte Vegi-Woche, Lichtwechsel, Wasserrevolution, Myko-Spa und Stretchvorbereitungen. 🌞 Licht: Die Blaulichter gehen, die Rotlicht-Ära beginnt Seit Donnerstag herrscht im Zelt 12/12 – offiziell Blütezeit. Die blauen Add-Lites wurden verfahrenstechnisch termininiert und durch rote ersetzt. Die neuen IR-AddLites haben außerdem eine Schlüsselfunktion: Sie laufen in den letzten 15 Minuten wie ein botanisches Sonnenuntergangs-Erlebnis für fortgeschrittene Pflanzenpsychologie. Kurz gesagt: 👉 Die Mädels werden jetzt schlafen geschickt wie Royalität. 💧 Wasserchemie: Die Vollentsalzungsanlage ist online Mission abgeschlossen: Die VE-Anlage wurde installiert, kalibriert und erfolgreich mit Triumphmusik eingeschaltet. Seitdem fließt durch das System: ➡️ EC-neutrales Laborwasser ➡️ pH-Perfect arbeitet wie befreit ➡️ Keine Ca/Mg-Überschüsse, keine Schwankungen Das HydroLab ist nun offiziell ISO-zertifiziert für Wasserreinheit, die selbst Kaffee-Nerds neidisch machen würde. Nährstoffversorgung aufgestockt – die Blüte beginnt ernst zu werden Der EC wurde moderat auf 1,5 angehoben, passend zum Stretch-Start. Zusätzlich zu Micro/Grow/Bloom, B52, Bud Candy und Great White gab es diese Woche:🔥 Bud Blood von Advanced Nutrients Ein kaliumreicher Booster, der laut Hersteller „die Blüte früh zündet“. Im Labor beschreiben wir es anders: 👉 „Molekulare Überzeugungsarbeit, damit die Pflanzen endlich tun, was wir wollen.“ Und es funktioniert. Die ersten Vorblüten sind bereits in der Planungsschleife. 🌱 Wurzelstatus – Mykos am Werk Die Wurzeln sehen aus wie: wuschelig cremig üppig voller Mykorrhiza Ein gesundes Myko-Netz ist immer ein gutes Zeichen – gerade beim Living-RDWC, wo die symbiotischen Organismen jetzt richtig Gas geben. 🕸️ Training: Zweites Netz installiert Das zweite Scrog-Netz wurde feierlich eingezogen. Da wir es hier mit einem fast rein sativischen Stretch-Monster zu tun haben, wird das Netz bald nicht nur genutzt, sondern ausgereizt. Die Spitzen schießen bereits motiviert durch das Gitter. Man könnte sagen: 👉 „Das botanische Volleyballfeld ist eröffnet.“ 🎬 Fazit der Woche Vegi erfolgreich beendet Blüte eingeleitet Licht optimiert Wasser perfektioniert Nährstoffe erweitert Wurzeln traumhaft Stretch: „Hold my beer…“ Das HydroLab ist startklar für eine der spannendsten Phasen überhaupt. Wenn diese SLH so weiter macht, wird das Netz in wenigen Tagen aussehen wie ein explodierter Kräuterteppich. ----------------------------------------------- HydroLab – Week 0: Initiating Bloom Protocol “Please fasten your lab coats — the test subjects have entered reproductive mode.” Welcome back to the HydroLab, where plants are trained with more precision than Olympic athletes and the line between botany and madness gets thinner by the day. This week marks a major milestone: the final veg week, the light flip, a water revolution, microbial spa treatments, and preparations for the incoming stretch. 🌞 Lighting Update: Goodbye Blue, Hello Bloom Mode As of Thursday, the system is officially running 12/12 — bloom phase initiated. The blue add-on lights have been politely removed from service, replaced with red spectrum units. Also new: IR AddLites, running during the final 15 minutes of the day to simulate a luxurious sunset for plants that take their circadian rhythm very seriously. In short: 👉 The ladies are now being tucked in like royalty. 💧 Water Chemistry Upgrade: The Deionization Unit Is Online This week, the HydroLab achieved a new level of hydration enlightenment: The deionized water system is fully installed and operational. It now feeds the entire RDWC with: EC-neutral lab-grade water perfectly predictable pH behavior zero unwanted minerals zero drift chaos The HydroLab is now officially certified for water purity that would make a barista weep. Nutrient Program Enhanced — Bloom Mode Engaged The EC was raised moderately to 1.5, just enough to fuel the stretch without cooking the roots. On top of the standard AN trio (Micro / Grow / Bloom) plus B52, Bud Candy, and Great White, the lineup now includes: 🔥 Advanced Nutrients – Bud Blood A bloom initiator designed to say: “Stop messing around and start flowering.” Laboratory interpretation: 👉 “Early-phase hormonal persuasion via potassium-rich diplomacy.” Early pistils are already in preflight mode. 🌱 Root Status Report – Mykos Doing Myko Things The roots look glorious: fluffy creamy vigorous thoroughly colonized by mycorrhiza Living RDWC in full effect — the symbiotic crew is thriving. 🕸️ Training Update: Second Scrog Net Installed The second screen is now in place. Given how sativa-dominant this strain is, the stretch is expected to fill the remaining space very quickly. The tops are already pushing upward with purpose. It looks less like a canopy and more like we’re preparing a botanical trampoline. 🎬 Weekly Conclusion Veg phase complete Bloom officially initiated Lighting optimized Water chemistry perfected Nutrients upgraded Roots looking elite Stretch incoming The HydroLab is entering one of the most exciting phases of the run. If this Super Lemon Haze keeps going like this, the scrog will look like an exploding herbal carpet within days.
