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.

Fattening up. Started using Herculean harvest. I’m liking it.

1 day 12/12 ✂️🍃 7 day 12/12 ✂️🍃

@ 1.6 kPa More colors showing, smelling stronger.

Hello everyone Fat Banana is doing amazing the hot weather here has given her a extra boost this week. She is filing those buds nicely. Trichomes are everywhere and in big numbers to. And I have given her the first dose off PK13/14 nutrition. I will give her this for the next 2/3 weeks when feeding. Not much more to say then Happy Growing all

1. Strain-by-Strain Overview Permanent Marker (The Titan): Experiencing a massive explosion in flower mass this week. The tightly stacked nodes analyzed in previous weeks have officially fused into towering, ultra-dense colas. The calyxes are swelling heavily, confirming its status as the primary yield driver of this run. Strawberry Banana (The Resin Queen): An absolute frost machine right now. While the bud structure remains lighter and more aerated as expected by its genetics, the trichome coverage is outstanding. The density of resin glands per millimeter is staggering, making it an incredible gourmet profile. Super Boof (The Terpene Champion): Developing an incredibly sweet, loud, and mouth-watering aroma. The flower structure is rock-solid and highly resinous, perfectly balancing heavy production with elite olfactory qualities. 2. Environment, Inputs & Strategy Adjustment Nutrition Ramp-Up: Stepped up the organic input regimen this week. All tailored KNF (Korean Natural Farming) inputs have been increased to 4 ml per Litre to support this critical cell-expansion and ripening phase. Liquid Bio-Availability: Maintained the immediate "Mix & Go" liquid delivery protocol to feed the living soil directly without stalling the Lacto Bacillus (LAB) or risking calcium precipitation from the WCA. The plants are converting these pre-digested complex sugars and minerals into pure bud density instantly. Snaescence & Rinsing: Natural fading is progressing beautifully on the lower fan leaves. The progressive nitrogen depletion is allowing the plants to naturally flush their tissues, ensuring maximum terpene purity and zero harshness on the final smoke. I also increased the dosage to 4ml/L for all my KNF nutriment

Blue Sunset Sherbert – Week 5 of Flowering The Blue Sunset Sherbert ladies are thriving! 🌿✨ Now at 4 weeks of flowering, they are developing beautifully. I noticed a slight nutrient deficiency in one of the plants, so I added a bit of Greenhouse Feeding Booster to balance things out. It seems to have worked well, and everything looks back on track. From now on, I’ll cut back on chemical boosters and switch to a more natural approach. Starting tomorrow, I'll be using my homemade calcium booster made from eggshells and vinegar to keep everything in balance. 🌱🔬 Exciting times ahead—stay tuned and don’t forget to follow for more updates! 😎 --- Blue Sunset Sherbert – Blüte Woche 5 Die Blue Sunset Sherbert-Ladies machen sich prächtig! 🌿✨ Jetzt, nach 4 Wochen Blüte, entwickeln sie sich wunderschön. Ich habe einen leichten Nährstoffmangel bei einer Pflanze bemerkt, also gab es ein wenig Greenhouse Feeding Booster, um das auszugleichen. Das scheint gut funktioniert zu haben, alles sieht wieder top aus. Ab jetzt werde ich die chemischen Booster zurückfahren und auf eine natürlichere Methode setzen. Ab morgen kommt mein selbstgemachter Calcium-Booster aus Eierschalen und Essig zum Einsatz, um das Ganze weiter zu stabilisieren. 🌱🔬 Spannende Zeiten stehen bevor—bleibt dran und vergesst nicht zu folgen für mehr Updates! 😎

Welcome to week 9 / week 6 of flowering! Her fall colors are in full force now. 🍁 Most pistils have turned amber. Some trichomes have also turned amber, but mostly cloudy still. Harvest time is getting close! 🤗 ✅Day 57: No water. Trimmed off a few dead leaves. ✅Day 58: 144oz of water. No runoff. ✅Day 59: No water. ✅Day 60: No water. ✅Day 61: No water. ✅Day 62: 128oz of water. No runoff. Took a quick look at trichomes. They are still mostly cloudy. ✅Day 63: No water.

Hi everyone 🤗 This week the two Kosher Tangie Kush were harvested by Amsterdam Genetics 😍. extremely good phenotypes. The blue cheese pheno 2 and 3 were placed in the darkroom according to the video. These were harvested yesterday, from which the pictures will come in the next update :-). All others need 2-3 weeks. I wish you lots of fun with the diary, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱

Checking trichs and I found a heart, please tell me y’all see it 🤣❤️ Giving plant #1 the chop next week #2 Gonna try for two more weeks before I chop

Both ladies popped. Here we go.

Great strain! Very simple at all levels and with great results. I harvested 2 plants with 79 days and 2 plants with 83 days. I trim with little work due to the small amount of leaves. uniform, fat and crystallized buds. 505gr of wet buds. they are drying, as soon as they are dry I will update again.After 12 days of drying, 166gr of dried buds. Happy Growings to all 💚🌱💪🙏

Puppy Love is appropriately named, I'm loving this gal. She grew like a turkey leg, I will top her next time %100. Day 79 she went in the tent for 48 hours of darkness, chopped day 81. I ultimately produced 34 grams of dried and cured dank, citrus, diesel goodness. The buds stacked hard and fast, the trim was easy. Easily the most dense flower I have grown so far. Extremely sticky, great nose, and bag appeal. Smells first of a different fuel, diesel gas. After the grind more floral and citrus notes are present. The smoke isn't as harsh as SYC, the citrus seemed to cut the gas significantly. The high has a pronounced productivity positivity vibe, has me feeling like a puppy. Thank you to Mephisto Genetics, super rad tester/freebie. 10/10

Just gotta get the cmh for the veg tent and some ducting, hang the 600 in between the 2 thouies and bloom is on... some transplanted some left to transplant

week intel: it was the time to prune the cover crops this week i chopped them - no problem all good stresses : just a little E.C stress around 1.4 once a week feeding: i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them heavy with silicate +base nutrients(calcium & micros + Bloom) about 707 ppm - 1.4 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them low dose of Feeding Booster around 275 ppm - 0.57 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them with normal dose of Top-Max + B-52 around 213 ppm - 0.42 e.c to let them recover the stresses to get ready for another stress next week. guide of the week : autos do so so so much better with 20 hours light per day pls dont run autos near femenized 1 of them must get sacrificed

🌱Welcome to my 2 x 4 ft autoflower tent. Who else is stoned as fuck? Here we have Seedsman's Northern Lights Auto. We just finished the 3rd week of flower and she's getting tall.. This week was 6 inches of vertical growth. That's almost an inch per day! she is a lot lighter green that the others she's growing with. Hoping she darkens up a little as we continue to feed 😌💨 💧She has been receiving water every other day about 1 L of pH adjusted to 6.5. ✂️ TRAINING: N/A. 💡⚡Check Mars Hydro out on Instagram! @marshydro_aliexpress2 💡⚡

Day 23 stacking and packing!!! She’s getting stinky and dank...... got a slight nutrients burn on a couple remo nutrients plants been flushing to get the EC down lots of growth lots of trichome

Moved the trellis higher to get some light in. Buds seem a little small. I think I flowered it too soon. Looks healthy. Smells sweat and creamy.

Started to feed a little bit of overdrive as of today (12.2.24). I’d now consider some of the leafs as “sugar leafs” as they are starting to become smothered in trichomes, I am very surprised as this plant aroma. The buds are very very sticky, and they smell so strong. I’ve done this strain before from the same breed but didn’t use any overdrive and the buds were dense. I’m hoping we can see some swollen nugs the size of my hand! 🙏 this time round. Another good week again and some really noticeable changes since 7 days ago 🏼
