Aug 16: Mimosa Shot is progressing but it has been cool and rainy lately. There are indications of P deficiency because of the cool weather. The top dressing of malted barley and Power Bloom will do its thing so I’m not worried about it. Hoping for more direct sunlight though. Aug 18: video shows use of far red light at dusk. To keep on a natural schedule, I use Civil Twilight as listed on timeanddate.com for my location. At this time of year it is getting earlier by 2-3 minutes every night. The far red 730 nm light puts the plant into dark mode two hours faster and is like getting a 26 h day. It works and is a good trick if you have daily access to your plants.

2/17: I spent a little time rearranging today. I bought some 32" x 14" plastic ventilated storage shelves and cut the legs down on two of them so I have some different-height platforms for the shorties in the garden. I should also be able to easily flush 6 plants in 5 gallon pots, or 9 plants in 3 gallon pots at a time now, that's a win!👈 2/18: I debated whether to feed or not, and settled on watering them with about 1/2 gallon each. including bembe, cal-mag, signal, humic acid, and a little beastie bloomz. The new dehumidifier is pulling about a gallon and a half per day from the air, so I should be able to feed them in a couple of days. I've reached the ceiling again with my lights. Both plants are budding up now. 2/19: Rainy day outside, so I'm pulling in 99% humidity, plus the pots are still petty saturated, but the new dehumidifier is keeping up. RH is holding at about 45% today.👍 2/20: Day 31 of flower...the tall one grew another couple of inches overnight! Damnit!😟 After emptying the closet (again) today and supercropping more branches (and some of the same branches again), a semi-solution occurred to me that allowed me to raise the lights another 3-4 inches! Now I'm truly maxxed out... Not a very stable strain..just look at the difference in the two I grew... I really needed everybody to finish in the same week so I could get my Spring autos going...😶 I'm still hoping that they will get their groove-on and finish by the EHD(3/11), but it's not looking possible for the taller one at this point... The shorter one is starting to smell really nice...faint, but funky. I took photos and videos of all the plants today since I had to empty the closet and it wasn't a feeding day. 2/21: I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including beastie bloomz, tiger bloom, big bloom, signal, bembe, and cal-mag...no grow big this time. 2/22: The short one continues to pack on the pistils, but the taller one is slow as hell....😟 2/23: I ordered some Terpinator because I'm not so sure about Signal's efficacy at this point....I'm usually dealing with odors more by now..😕

Die Woche war naja so okay die Blätter hängen nicht mehr allerdings sind sie immer noch angefressen ich weiß nicht was es ist ich habe sie jetzt Vor paar Tagen getoppt. Und habe sie auch in die Blüte geschickt allerdings weiß ich nicht ob sie durch ein Experiment habe auch hier Nematoden hinzugefügt weil wir irgendwelche Würmer im Boden entdeckt haben beziehungsweise Larven von den Fliegen die überall rum fliegen. Jetzt abwarten wenigstens stehen die Blätter wieder schön ganze wächst weiter das war wohl viel Stress mit in die Blüte schicken und Toppen in einer Woche aber abwarten. Ich hoffe dass die Blätter so sind wegen den Fliegen und nicht wegen über Besserung allerdings habe ich sie auch austrocknen lassen und jetzt noch mal neu gegossen mit den Nematoden bis nächste Woche

Hmm this one looks thin and tall too.. I guess it's just my too small tent that makes some plants get thin instead of bushy.. But seeing two plants in this tent that have beeing topped getting thin and tall and the others getting all bushy is a bit strange. Maybe the topping was too late and they didn't like it?! My other White Diesel Haze does seem to like it... She is all bushy too

Day 57. Statement : Even with hard beginning - thats my best run ! Zamnesia is AMAZING !!! With veg hiccups, they still bushout to really nice plants in less than 7 weeks. Now Blue Dream is targeting my roof, Kalini Asias are thick as f@ck. Runtz very dense plants, thought they would be a bit bigger ... They drink every 36 hours, hard to keep up with work, but i do my best not to screw up with them ;) This week : feed, water, water. Defoliation too !!! Day 59. That game - "who will reach sealings" - I don't like !!!! Moved lights two days ago ... Soon i will need axe for my roof !!! ;)) That Monster Blue Dream is insane !!! Hope will do heavy defoliation in two days, maybe this will shock her ;))) other plants keep up with her and canopy is even without all three Blue Dreams. Huge plants. Day 60. Video is showing how less space is left, but they just keep climbing !!! ;)) Day 61. Thinking to defoliate all girls tonight, but maybe i will do it after next watering. Had to reposition them, loads of branches need to be chopped, some didn't see light for last two weeks( Curly, looks like sh$t, will never reach light). Girls are too big for my setup and i really hope it will be enough light and HEIGHT for them... And so Defoliation has started !!! Hope everything will go fine !!! All done !! With the thought " WHAT HAVE I DONE !!!!??????!!!!!" i go to try to fall asleep ;))) Happy Growing !!!

She is all done stretching now and soon will have fat smelly buds. She's doubles in size in the past week progress has been great coco coir is defiantly the way forward! Feeding 7L ever other day have switched to bloom feed. Install a carbon filter and extractor fan to bring the tempter down and fam to keep buds from roating. Will need to get a better reflector to allow more light to reach the edges of the tent.

Tag 22: 🌱: LST wurde etwas nachjustiert, um die Verschattung zu minimieren. Leider habe ich dabei eines der größeren Fächerblätter eines der Haupttriebe beschädigt (Stiel gebrochen) und musste dieses nun doch entfernen. 💧: Die Erde war trocken, daher wurde gegossen. Den Angaben meines Wasserversorgers und meinen Berechnungen zur Folge, habe ich das CalMag weggelassen und nur 0,25g/l Bittersalz hinzugefügt. Auch das Bio Grow wurde wieder auf die ursprünglichen 50% des Düngeplans reduziert. Insgesamt gab es ca. 2,5l bis zu einem ersten kleinen Drain. 💡: Die Beleuchtung wurde hochgeregelt, auf einen DLI von ca. 40 bei ca. 40cm Abstand zur Pflanze. Update: Abstand auf 35cm und Leistung etwas verringert (weiterhin DLI ~40), da sonst Temperatur zu hoch steigt. Tag 24: 🌱: Heute wurde erneut die Schere angesetzt (leider etwas verspätet, aber ging nicht anders). Entfernt wurden die unteren und somit innersten und äußersten neuen Triebe an den 4 größeren "Haupttrieben" und deren Fächerblätter. Um den Schock nicht zu groß zu machen, dürfen die nach innen wachsenden Fächerblätter noch 2-3 Tage dran bleiben. Zusätzlich wurde das LST noch etwas angepasst. 💧: Die Erde ist noch nass. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert. Tag 26: 🌱: Heute wurde erneut die Schere angesetzt und die nach innen wachsenden Fächerblätter entfernt. Zusätzlich wurde das LST noch etwas angepasst. 💧: Die Erde ist noch nass. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert. Tag 27: 🌱: Es ist der Beginn von Tag 27. Es wurden nur kleinere LST Anpassungen vorgenommen und das Blattwerk etwas sortiert um die Ausleuchtung zu verbessern. Die kleine Lady denkt anscheinend bereits daran in die Blütephase zu wechseln, zumindest zeigen sich die ersten zarten Pistillen. 💧: Die Erde ist noch immer feucht. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert. Tag 28: 🌱: Das LST wurde für ein einheitlich hohes Blätterdach erneut leicht angepasst. Ich überlege in den kommenden Tagen auch noch einige der unteren Fächerblätter, die mittlerweile ziemlich im Schatten liegen, zu entfernen. Zunächst jedoch schaue ich, was der Stretch die nächsten Tage so bringt. So langsam macht sich auch ein leichter Duft bemerkbar. 💧: Die Erde war trocken, daher wurde gegossen. Heute gab es insgesamt 3 Liter der gleichen Wachstumsmischung wie letzte Woche. Das Bittersalz scheint auf jeden Fall zu helfen. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert.

I wish I would of taken pics of them before I trimmed them up because they were a massive bush!!! At this point im satisfied with the number of potential cola's and size of the branches. I can already see preflowers coming from some of the nodes which is crazy because i've never seen any of plants in history doing this. Its also the first time i've taken veg past 3-4 weeks but mainlining does extend the veg time some. Today i've switched to 12/12 so next week will be the first update of flowering!!! quite excited to finally get to this stage.

Week 3 Flower – Sundae Driver From Seed to Now This journey started just five weeks ago from seed. We ran a very short veg, only about two weeks, before flipping to flower. Even with the short veg, these Sundae Driver phenos have been relentless growers: strong branching early on, healthy node spacing, and an impressive stretch once the light cycle changed. In Week 1 of flower, we switched to 11 hours on / 13 hours off to encourage a faster transition, and by Week 2, the girls had already shot past the 111 cm mark. Now, in Week 3, they’re tall, thriving, and showing no signs of slowing down. The girls are reaching for the sky, tall, elegant, and stretching with no signs of slowing down. Each day they surprise me with just how much vertical growth they’re putting on. I’m curious (and a little nervous!) to see how big they’ll eventually get. Nutrients & Additives This week, we introduced a new layer to the feed program by combining Plagron additives with our existing Aptus lineup. Here’s the full mix (all at 1 ml/L): • Plagron Power Buds – Bud stimulator to support mid-flower. • Plagron Green Sensation – All-in-one bloom booster with PK, sugars, and micronutrients to push flower development. • Plagron Sugar Royal – Amino-acid-rich formula to help boost energy and aroma production. • Aptus Regulator – For plant strength, nutrient efficiency, and stress resistance. • Aptus CalMag Boost – Maintaining balanced calcium and magnesium levels under high growth rates. The idea is to test how the Plagron additives perform alongside Aptus products. So far, the results look promising. Training & Canopy Management No heavy training, just gentle leaf tucking. Large fan leaves are being bent or tucked under branches so light can reach the bud sites without removing too much foliage. This keeps the plant energy flowing while opening up the canopy naturally. Environment • Day Temp: ~26°C • Humidity: ~67% • VPD: ~1.10 kPa (not textbook perfect, but the plants are adapting beautifully) • pH: ~6.5 • Soil Moisture: Letting it dry down to ~19% before watering, sometimes even closer to 9% in hotter moments. Lighting & Gear The girls are thriving under the Future of Grow LED fixtures, with the filtered, even spectrum keeping the canopy happy. I’ve also introduced an automated irrigation system in the tents, still testing whether to fully hand over watering duties to the system or keep a hybrid approach with some hand-watering for closer control. Extras & Comfort Yes, I had a little fun with the camera this week, a casual photo session in the "studio" (plants only in their natural “outfits”), and a special shout-out to Zamnesia for their incredibly comfortable gear. Think rugby-polo style shirts, perfect for long hours in the grow or behind the camera. What to Expect Next Week • Expect: First signs of full flower set, with more defined pistils and the earliest stacking patterns starting to show. You may also see a slowdown in vertical growth as the plants redirect more energy to flower production. • Not to Expect: Heavy trichome development just yet, it’s still a bit early for full resin production, though sugar leaves may start to sparkle. • Keep an Eye On: Environmental stability. With humidity in the upper 60s, watch for microclimate pockets that could encourage mold once flowers start stacking. Closing Reflection From seed to now, this run has been a fast, exciting climb. A short veg, an early flip, and now a careful mix of trusted Aptus products with new Plagron additives, it’s been an experiment in precision and adaptability. The girls are loving their environment, thriving under Future of Grow LEDs, and pushing toward their full flowering potential. The next few weeks will tell just how much they can deliver, but one thing’s for sure: the journey so far has been beautiful. 🔗 Gear links available on request 💬 Always here to talk flower, stretch, or any topic regarding 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.

Week 6 Veg Report – Runtz We Meet Again! Another week, another step forward in our Eternity Grow Cup 2025 journey, and oh boy, do we have a lot to unpack! These Runtz girls are showing their potential, and we’re dialing in every little detail to ensure they thrive. Let’s dive deep into everything that happened this week! Cal-Mag Deficiency Adjustment – Pheno #5’s Special Needs This week started with a close inspection of our phenos, and we noticed that Pheno #5 was showing early signs of a calcium/magnesium deficiency. Whether it was slightly off VPD levels or this particular plant being more demanding, we decided to correct it by increasing the dose of RO Water Conditioner. Now, while this isn’t a direct substitute for Cal-Mag, it does contain trace amounts that can help stabilize the situation. 🔬 Understanding Cal-Mag Deficiency: Calcium and magnesium are essential secondary nutrients. Calcium strengthens cell walls, preventing issues like tip burn and weak stems, while magnesium plays a critical role in chlorophyll production, allowing plants to efficiently absorb light energy. 💡 Signs of Deficiency: • Yellowing between veins (Magnesium) • Rust spots on leaves (Calcium) • Slow growth and weak stems ⚡ How We Address It: • Slightly increasing RO Water Conditioner to see if trace minerals help • Keeping an eye on overall nutrient uptake to ensure no lockout • Monitoring VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) closely to optimize nutrient absorption Let’s see how she reacts next week! Branching Development – Pheno #2 Leading the Race All five phenos are thriving, but Pheno #2 is showing the most aggressive branching, pushing outward faster than her sisters. However, overall, we’re seeing very uniform growth, which speaks volumes about the stability of these genetics. 🌱 What is Branching & Why It Matters? Branching is the plant’s way of expanding its canopy, increasing surface area for photosynthesis, and maximizing potential bud sites. Well-structured branches allow better airflow, light penetration, and more even growth—key for a successful high-yield harvest. ⚖️ Topping vs. Leaf Bending – The Training Choice Instead of topping, I’ve decided to go with leaf bending for now. This method allows for gentle manipulation of the plant’s growth without causing major stress. Once we introduce the SCROG (Screen of Green) net, this training will help maximize the canopy spread. Moving to the TrolMaster Ecosystem – A Game Changer Big move this week—our Runtz girls officially transitioned into the TrolMaster Ecosystem, and let me tell you, they are absolutely loving it! Under the ThinkGrow Model 1 LEDs, they’re thriving, leaves praying upward, soaking in that optimized spectrum. 💡 ThinkGrow Model 1 LEDs – Why They Work • PPFD of ~400 µmol/m²/s at their level, running only on Channel One • Full-spectrum lighting tailored for optimal vegetative growth • Passive cooling design, keeping temps stable while saving energy Environmental Conditions (Measured on the TrolMaster Tent-X and the AMP-3) • Temp Max: 26.6°C | Min: 16.2°C • RH Max: 77% | Min: 52% • VPD Max: 1.65 kPa | Min: 0.43 kPa • Solution pH: 5.8 • EC: 0.96 • Water Temp: 16.3°C Why These Numbers Matter: • Keeping VPD in check ensures efficient nutrient uptake • pH and EC levels fine-tuned for maximum root absorption • Water temp stable to avoid root shock and slow growth Autopot System Prep – Getting Ready for the Next Phase The week wraps up with us cleaning and preparing the Autopots for their next phase. These self-watering systems will allow the Runtz girls to access water and nutrients at their own pace, optimizing growth as we head into pre-flower soon! A huge THANK YOU to Zamnesia, Plagron, and GrowDiaries for making this incredible Eternity Grow Cup 2025 possible!

Did a full change on the Reservoir, used 50/50 Universol Yellow and Yara Calcinit, EC to 1.8. Adjusted the light, removed the hangers so I can lift it a few centimeter, did that because it will give better lightspread, also dimmed it to 75% to 40 DLI, had 50 before maybe it was a little to much. My Phosphorus/Calcium deficiency got even worse on NL#2 so I increased the PH to 6.2 to update some more Calcium but overall it just got worse. NL#1 is showing some symptoms aswell, but not as bad as NL#2.

Buds are already getting nice and dense. Thick coat of trichomes is already glistening. Flower production has been very on point! Very hardy colas flying off these girls. Very excited for this one. I reduced the nitrogen dose again. I also stopped giving them vigorous. Its a pure bloom mix now as these ladies are booming with flowers. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Week 11 I though she was gonna be done this week only gave her RO water for the last 2 weeks but looking through the loop her trichomes are still mostly clear so I think I'll give her one more week. She looking great, smelling great, buds look amazing. Tried to get some good video so you can see how lovely she is!!
