9/10: New week...good progress. I'll probably transplant them into pots in a couple of days. They are looking a little deficient, so I'll give them full strength nutes soon. 9/11: I waited to long to transplant them and they have root problems to some degree or another...too wet for too long. I transplanted both of them into 3 gallon pots and observed about 50% brownish roots on the bigger one. 😕 I powdered the planting holes with myco, tricho, and other goodness. I added two Mars Hydro 150w lights, and a 60w 6500k LED panel light since they are all spread out now. The average CCT is still a little over 4800k, even though the Mars are a little warmer color temp than the Viparspectras. 9/12: Between the root problems and the transplant, they looked horrible, so I sprayed them with BoomBoom Spray today and will do a good root drench tomorrow with BushDoctor Boomerang. They looked better by the end of day, but still have a ways to go to get back on track... 9/17: I fed them boomerang only twice this week, and gave also them kangaroots yesterday. They are both still a little droopy looking, but they are growing.. I'll prolly flip to 13/11 with emerson effect in the next couple of days.

🌸 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. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

29. März. 7 Tag sind nun rum seit dem ich die Samen zum keimen gelegt habe. Alle drei Pflanzen sind nun aus der Erde geschlüpft. Die erste Spargelt ein bisschen. Die living Soil sieht Mega eklig aus, wie als würde die Erde schimmeln. Zum Glück wissen wir es besser :) 31. März Jaaaaaaapp. Es wird Spargel.

Hello friends, another week behind me. All in all, everything is going great, I have a light output of 300 watts and for that number of watts it already looks magnificent! At the Lemon tree and runtz muffin have formed in the last few days many trichome is also already a strong smell to perceive the thinning with biobizz grow was a unique thing and give the plants a nice boost for 2-3 weeks. Today I noticed something, when I saw to the tent was light on although it was dunekelfasse, somehow I got to the timer:/ it’s about 2 hours before it actually started, I turned it off again to restore the rhythm quickly, I hope I don’t have to expect big problems because so far everything was going great. What I also notice more and more that the buds have the right weight!! I tried at the runtz to take a photo where you see all the buds above, but no chance the leaf roof is too dense but still well lit, it’s just amazing how many flowers are forming there!!!!!!That’s it for this week and I wish you good smoke TM️ Hallo Freunde, wieder 1 Woche mehr hinter mir. Im grossen und ganzem läuft alles Top, ich habe eine Licht leistung von 300 Watt und für diese Wattanzahl sieht es jetzt schon prächtig aus! Bei der Lemon tree und runtz Muffin haben sich in den letzten tagen viele trichome gebildet zudem ist auch schon ein starker Geruch zum wahrnehmen 😁 die dünngung mit biobizz grow war eine einmalige Sache um den Pflanzen für 2-3 Wochen einen schönen Schub zu geben. Heute ist mir was aufgefallen, als ich zum Zelt sah war Licht ein obwohl es dunkelfasse war, irgentwie bin ich an die Zeitschaltuhr gekommen :/ es ist ca 2 Stunden bevor es eigentlich beginnt an gegangen, ich habe es wieder abgeschaltet um den rytmus schnell wieder herzustellen, ich hoffe ich muss jetzt nicht mit grossen Problemen rechnen weil bis jetzt alles top lief. Was ich auch zunehmend bemerke das die Buds richtig an Gewicht haben!! Das war es für diese Woche und ich wünsche guten Rauch.

So I made a totally noob mistake. I can't believe I didn't think about how fast the males would spread pollen. I was still trying to figure out which male I wanted to use for selective pollination on a specific branch. So I pulled the males and I'm attempting to collect pollen using a trim tray screen. Its working quite well and I'll make a video with that as well. I'm not even sure if it's viable or if my attempt and mistake of leaving the males too long will work. So anyways I realize now how delicate it is to have males. They start popping fairly quickly. Come check out my YouTube y'all

Decent Growth this week. No change to the feeding schedule. I started to notice fungus gnats towards the end of this week so I've added glue boards and have started bottom feeding. DE powder may be necessary if the problem persists.

Day 42 to 49 We are getting closer to an end. Is the second time I’m growing purple genetics and I can say that somehow look to be faster to finish their life cycle; I think the next week will be the beginning of flushing, so I will just give water at PH 6.5, without any fertilizers, till the end which I believe will be around day 65. Let me know what’s your experience with purple genetics and of course if you have some tips! Cheers 🍻
