Schönen Sonntag euch 😊 🌿 Wochenupdate Alles läuft weiterhin stabil =) Mein Fokus liegt aktuell auf dem Messen und Erhalten der Nährstofflösung. Bulking hat begonnen und ich freu mich jedes Mal, wenn ich das Zelt aufmachen kann =D Wer den Run hier mitliest, hat mitbekommen, dass ich mich bewusst für einen relativ hohen Start-EC entschieden habe. Das lag zum einen am Bedarf der Genetiken, die sich im Bereich zwischen Middle und Heavy Feed bewegen (wobei der Cross rückblickend nicht so der schlauste Take war 😅). Zum anderen lag es daran, dass ich recht viel Reservoirvolumen habe und möglichst wenige Eingriffe geplant waren =) Ziel war es dabei, jederzeit eine Mindestverfügbarkeit zu gewährleisten. Durch dieses, nennen wir es mal, frühe Gewöhnen – natürlich immer mit Blick auf die Reaktion der Ladies, konnte ich den EC komplett stressfrei bis 2,3 anheben. Danach war für mich Schluss, weil ich ehrlich gesagt keinen Mehrwert darin erkannt habe, sie nicht verheizen wollte und vor allem die Messungen gezeigt haben, dass der selektive Wasserverbrauch zu heftige Maße angenommen hat.. Sprich: Die Lösung selbst konzentriert sich über Zeit zu stark und der EC steigt in zu großen Schritten. Ich habe also damit begonnen, ab diesem Peak-Point den reinen Wasserverbrauch – Achtung, festhalten =DD mit Cal/Mag versetzt wieder aufzufüllen. In den Messungen hat sich dabei ein klares Pattern abgezeichnet 📊 Über 24 Stunden zeigt sich ein leichter Anstieg im EC, bedingt durch primären Wasserverbrauch, bei gleichzeitig sinkendem pH-Wert. Parallel habe ich natürlich immer beobachtet, wie die Ladies auf die Verläufe reagieren =) Sobald ich sehe, dass sich dieses funktionierende Pattern minimal verschiebt, in meinem Fall ein ansteigender EC bei gleichzeitig steigendem pH, refreshe ich 30 Liter der Lösung . Nach dem 30-Liter-Refresh fällt das System wieder in sein vorheriges, stabiles Pattern zurück. Für mich ist das ein klarer Hinweis darauf, dass der Mini-Shift das erste Anzeichen eines beginnenden Ungleichgewichts war =) Ab hier geht’s wieder weiter im Loop 🔄 Ich habe hier echt für mich mitgenommen, dass ein Teil-Refresh ein gutes Diagnose-Werkzeug sein kann. Wenn sich Verläufe nur minimal anders verhalten als gewohnt und man keine klare Ursache validieren kann, kann ein moderater Refresh dabei helfen zu prüfen, ob das System wieder in sein normales Uptake-Pattern zurückfindet. Normalisiert sich das Verhalten danach, kann man unter diesen konstanten Bedingungen davon ausgehen, dass die Ursache in der Lösung lag und nicht bei den Plants oder im Klima 🌸 Pflanzenstatus & Training Endlich ein spannenderer Teil zu berichten =D Das ganze Zelt riecht einfach wie ein Traum, ich würd da am liebsten den ganzen Tag davor sitzen =)) 🌿 Blueberry Cupcake frostet schön weiter ❄️ Bildet aktuell schön homogene Sites und zeigt sich als echt solide Genetik 💪 Sie macht viel mit und lässt sich wirklich gut trainieren. Meine Freundin sagt, die Gute riecht extrem nach Blaubeere – surprise, surprise =D Ich finde eher, sie riecht wie Blaubeerquark? =D Bin wirklich gespannt. Purpz entwickelt sich auch wirklich traumhaft 😊 Schöne kleine Golfbälle, allesamt synchron im Aufbau. Die Trichombildung ist mittlerweile auf Augenhöhe mit BBCC und wirkt nur durch die hellere Pflanzenfarbe selbst weniger spektakulär ✨ Vom Geruch her sehr fruchtig-süßlich, klar in den hellen Noten, aber nicht wirklich definierbar 🍬 Meine Freundin sagt, sie stinkt nach „Gras“ 😂.. Notorious THC frostet aktuell etwas hinterher, was bei den Infos, die ich dazu habe, auch zu erwarten war. Das Blattbild irritiert mich nach wie vor ein wenig, aber da sie sich sichtbar weiterentwickelt und sonst alles sauber läuft, schiebe ich das aktuell auf die Genetik =) Deckt sich auch mit den Infos drüber. Vom Aufbau her ist sie absolut gleichauf mit ihren Schwestern. Sie riecht ziemlich kush-mäßig, musste direkt an so einen dumpfen, aber geilen OG-Smoke denken🔥 =D Meine Freundin wollte ich hiermit nicht belasten – Dessert-Strains only ist hier die Erkenntnis 😄 Guzzlerz kommt auch langsam. Ihre Sites sind recht zart im Vergleich und leider auch deutlich weniger. Sie frostet mittlerweile und ist für ihren Stand synchron gegangen =D ❄️ Ihre Schwestern sind einfach zu dominant – man sieht, das war der schwächste Seed und das zieht sich 😬 Die Ansätze sind trotzdem sehr vielversprechend und in Zukunft gehe ich das auf jeden Fall nochmal an 💚 ⚙️ System Top-Ups erhalten weiterhin die Lösung =) 🔧 1,20 kPa VPD 700–800 ppm CO₂ im Durchschnitt EC 2.000–2.100 µS/cm 1.000 PPFD Danke mal wieder für eure Zeit 😊 Auf ein gutes neues Jahr und feiert schön 🎉🥂

So she grew 26cm this week... Over doubling her height!!!!!!!! I think she's just entered flowering. All in all, she's growing well 😎

. 🌱 : Signs of Ca deficiency 💧 : 4l day 44. removed 1l runoff on day 45, 2l day 46 💡 : Dli: 45 mol/m²/d 🤔 : adjusting pH to 6,5 to force more Ca uptake, should have enough Ca / Mg available due to dolimte lime in the soil on day 46

This week I started training them, maybe too late. I see that one branch on one of the plants broke a little (I think it tried to grow and snapped), but it looks like it managed to form a new connection. It’s a bit weak, though. As you can see in the pictures, I made some strange training while trying to arrange the branches in a better position. I feel I should have done the topping one week earlier and started training before, as it would make it easier and probably lead to better results. Let’s see what happens.

Fastberry Auto is truly a gem among autoflowering cannabis strains! Its rapid growth, delightful berry-like aroma, and beautiful purple buds make it a joy to cultivate. The sweet and fruity flavor is a treat for the senses, and the balanced high leaves me feeling creatively inspired and deeply relaxed. A must-try for any cannabis enthusiast, whether you're a seasoned grower or just starting out! -

I love these last stages! The girls are still stretching but I decided to give them a defoliation a week early. If you look back on last week you can see how bushy they have gotten so there was a definite need to get some light to the lower bud sites. I can definitely start to smell the familiar gassy aroma coming through now so may be time to get the fan and carbon filter cranked up. I will be top amending the soil again at some point this coming week but as for now I have just been feeding with water and liquid seaweed. I've had a few compliments from friends on the good health of the plants this time round compared to previous grows when the Sour Diesels had nutrient issues, not helped by the Coco medium I was using. I'll be sticking to this choice of soil and organic nutrients with the results I'm getting so far! I mean, look at those pistils!! 😁 I love that I've had 93 views on this diary so far! Thanks to everyone that's checked it out but I'd love some feedback? If you like what you see please drop me a like and if not, let me know what I can improve or do differently? I've got another video for you guys from today so I hope you enjoy it :). Until next week! ✌️

Everything is looking good this week..

Terza settimana

WOW LOOK AT DAT!! DAT TRAINING IS VERY VERY GOOD!!!! CLOUD GOD SHOWED UP DIS WEEK IT WAS VERY VERY CLOUDY!!! DAT CLOUD GOD BROUGHT ALONG SOME DRIZZLE TO FEED DA PLANT!!!! SUN GOD WILL BE SHOWING UP VERY VERY SOON!!! PLANT IS LOOKING VERY VERY HEALTHY!!!!!😎 PLEASE COME AGAIN!!!!!

Week 3 and a repot is done and now in day 3. Finally it’s settling down after the repot, which was not pretty at all😂 Hope to get some massive plants this run 🌱 ________________________________________________________________________________________ Light from @MedicGrowLED 😎 NEO 780 LED🔥 780 Watt⚡️💥 PPF of 2184 μmol/s & 2.8 μmol/J🔥 Full Spectrum V1/F1 🌈 WiFi smart connection & Smart Aura Control 😱

Hola amigos! Algunas fotos de esta etapa de las plantas hermosas de Mentha de Croco.

Muy contento con su estructura súper baja, veremos que sigue!

7/13 It's maine-ing out. Overcast and misting. I guess it rained last night but not much. Today is my watering day although I think they could've made it until tomorrow. These drastic temp changes makes it hard to get a STEADY routine in place. I watered everything in the 20's a gallon the 10's 1/2 gallon. The 10th planet in the front was still heavy so I didn't water it. I'll keep an eye on it. Temps are much milder. I noticed a few more septoria leaves on the 10th planet which I promptly defoliated. This pheno is flowering. I could've put this week as flowering as several plants have started. I also saw ONE leaf on my chem dog that had septoria on it. ONE f-ing leaf! I was planning on treating this early anyway so I mixed one gallon of plant doctor 3 tsp gallon/gallon which was the recommendation. I'll monitor this plant and continue treating it the next two weeks. I may do foliar too but the mixture is different. It's a systemic so I don't think that matters as much. Considering getting mulch to protect from spores on the soil. My plants look GORGEOUS. I Hate to use such a nice plant as a guennie pig but I'm not going to sit here and watch it progress. I'm lucky it's really not that bad and that it's on a reveg. There's so many leaves that I would be forced to prune anyway. I'm seeing two MAYBE three leaves a morning but I want to get this under control. Last year u let a plant with septoria go and it finished but went to extracts. I've got a pretty good feeling about this plant doctor. I've used it before with good results. Only time will tell though.🤞 EDIT: WENT OVER AT ABOUT 1PM. ITS 2 NOW AND BLUE SKIES AND SUNNY. IM SUPER GLAD I WATERED AND EVEN MORE SO THAT I APPLIED THE PLANT DOCTOR HOW I DID. THE GIRLS ALL LOOKED AMAZING. THE TENTH PLANET I TREATED WITH PLANT DOCTOR LOOKS THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN IT. I FOUND ON LEAVE DEEP ON THE INTERIOR WITJ A SMALL SPOT BUT ITS SOMETHING IM SURE I MISSED THIS MORNING. IF THIS WORKS THIS GOOD ILL BE APPLYING IT TO EVERYTHING EVEN IF ITS JUST PREVENTATIVE. 7/14 Rained last night andcwas still sprinkling when I went over. Amazingly the 10th planet that I treated with the plant doctorcmix had ZERO visible signs of septoria. I did find one leaf on Mt chem dog and two on my mk ultra with the big leaves. It could've been calcium deficiency but I really doubt it because I think I saw THAT as well. I'm going to wait a day or two and if there are still no negative results and the plant is still looking good I'm going to treat AT LEAST the two others that MAY be infected. It's a systemic and can be used proactively and supposably breaks down into p and k after stimulating immune response. I'll monitor a little longer but as it stands I think I'm going to treat the other two just in case. I also need to start feeding. I've watered a lot more than I normally do so obviously the soil won't last as long. This has been some tricky weather but I'm happy with how things are progressing. I probably should've changed this to the first week of flower as several plants are popping pistols everywhere. EDIT: WENT OVER AROUND NOON AND MIXED UP TEO GALLONS OF PLANT DOCTOR PLANNING TO TREAT THE TWO PLANTS BESIDE THE 10TH PLANET. EVERYTHING LOOKED SO PERFECT AND TOMORROW IS MY WATER DAY SO I DECIDED TO HOLD OFF AND APPLY IT WHEN IT NEEDS WATER ANYWAY. I DID NOTICE THAT PLANTS SEEM TO BE FLOWERING MORE AGGREWWIVELY THAN BEFORE. THINGS ARE GETTING INTERESTING. 7/15 It was water day. The girls looked great this morning. I watered everything at least a gallon and 1.5 for the thirstier plants. I treated my big fan leaf mk ultra and my chem dog #4 with the same Plant Doctor mix as i did tge 10th planet beside it. I havent seen ANY septoria on that plant since application and it looks better than ever. I watered them with a half gallon of phed water before doing a soul drench with the gallon of Plant Doctor @ 3tsp/gal. I'm not seeing much septoria but plants are starting flower and I want to nip it in the bud. This product can be used preventatively and I went by the guidelines for medical marijuana. It was 70 earlier this morning. I'll update as I go forward. EDIT: WENT BACK OVER AT 3 AS THE TENPS WERE PIST 90 AND HAD BEEN ALL DAY. I POSTED A SHORT VIDEO BUT EVERYTHING IS LOOKING GREAT. THE PLANT DOCTOR SEEMS TO HAVE HELPED SUBSTANTIALLY. DIDNT FIND ONE SEPTORIA LEAF. STILL IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO WORK FULLY BUT IM GLAD I DIDNT CHICKEN OUT AND I APPLIED THE RIGHT AMOUNT. IM GOING TO KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS BUT I MIGHT JUST TREAT EVERYTHING PREVENTATIVELY WHICH IS JUST HALF A TSP A GALLON I THINK. IT DEF TRIGGERS A RESPONSE IN THE PLANT. I LOVE IT WHEN SHIT JUST WORKS OYT AND YOU END UP PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. NEXT WATERING ILL PROBABLY DO NUTES. IM DEBATING WHETBER TO TRELLUS OR JUST USE STAKES AND STRINGS ACROSS THE CAGE AS NEEDED. OH WELL. OVER 90 IS TO MUCH FOR ME TO BE OUTSIDE FOR TOO LONG. 7/16 Plant Doctor is doimg its job. I saw a couple septoria leaves on chem dog but it was interior amd I could've missed it. It takes a little bit to get going. I think I'm going to treat the rest of the garden with at least the preventative dose of 1tsp per gallon. I'll wait and see if this keeps it from popping back up. It almost got to 100 yesterday. It was 80 early this morning. I mixed up two gallons of water and gave the thistiest/lightest a half gallon. I'm hoping that will hold everything over until tomorrow which is water day. I'll have to check but I think it might be time to feed too. I def should make sure to treat tjis septoria before focusing on nutes. It says you can mix it with nutes but I'm leary of doing so. I'd rather apply them at seperate times. I'll watch the garden and of I NEED to water I will. I'm hoping what I did will be enough. EDIT: WENT OVER AROUND ONE. IT WAS 93° WITH SUPER HIGH HUMIDITY. IM GLAD I SPLIT THAT TWO GALLONS WITH THOSE FOUR PLANTS THATS FOR SURE! THEY'D PROBABLY BE DROOPED IF I DIDNT. EVERYTHING WAD PRAYING TO THE SUN GODS. WELL, EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE MK ULTRA IN THE 30 AND THE 10TH PLANET. THEY ARENT DROOPING THEY JUST LOOK NORMAL. THEY ARENT "PRAYING" LIKE THE OTHERS. THEY ARE DEFINATELY A LITTLE LIGHT AND ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THEIR WATERING. AND THEIR FEEDING. THATS FOR SURE. I WAS SUPER HAPPY WITH WHAT I SAW GOING OVER AND THE GIRLS WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD OUT UNTIL THE MORNING. ONE IN SPECIAL KUSH (WHICH GROW AMAZING AND LARGE HERE) IS IN A 10 AND I EVEN GAVE IT A LITTLE WATER THIS MORNING BUT ITS DROOPY. I COULD STILL FEEL A LITTLE BIT OF MOUSTURE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS LIGHT. IT CAN WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING WITH THE REST. IF IT WAS DROOPING BAD I WOULDA WATERED IT. I DONT GET WHY IM HAVING PROBLEMS FINISHING PLANTS IN 10GAL SMART POTS. YEARS AGO I COULD FINISH SOMETHING IN A 5GAL BUCKET! BUT NOW ITS LIKE THE PLANTS I GROW GET FAR TO BIG TO FINISH FLOWERING ON THESE TINY BAGS. ILL MONITER. HOPFULLY IT WILL BE FINE. IF I HAVE TO I SUPPOSE I COULD CUT THE BOTTOM OFF AND PUT THEM IN THE GROUND OR MORE SUBSTRATE BUT THATS NOT SOMETHING I REALLY WANT TO DO. I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU THESE GIRLS TURN OUT. 7/17 I'm glad I gave those few plants that extra water. It hit 100 yesterday. Plants made it through it OK. It's 80 at 9am. I watered the garden even though it's supposed to rain with a chance of thunderstorms. Everything got at least a gallon. The mk ultra reveg in the 30 got 2gals as did the thirsty special kush on the end. I've figured out which plants use more water and I try to give them a little more. I also fed today. I was hesitant to feed the plants I treated with plant doctor, but I did anyway. 1tsp grow big 2tsp big bloom .5 tsp calmag. I've noticed pistles coming together on a few plants and forming buds. Next week will definitely be labeled flower. The plants treated with plant doctor LOOK great! I've found a few septoria leaves on a couple other plants. No big deal. I was going to treat the rest of the garden preventatively but if a couple more are infected I'll just add them to the rotation. I just need to make sure I follow-up with the next few treatments. Can't say enough good about this plant doctor. 7/18 Well this fucking sucks. It's 35mph wind gusts and windy as hell. It might've rained last night but if it didn't rain much. I spent the morning "trying" to put up little strong or rope supports to help the girls. I ran a rope across the front of the three on tje back to suppirt them. That one works good. I have one going the other way the entire length which helps support some. Then I took string and ran it around each side of a row for supports. So far no observable damage abd the plants all looked awesome. They've been through a lot and are big tough hardy plants. They'll make it through tjis no problem. I'd be more worried if they had big wet flowers on them but by then I'll have the proper supports and maybe a trellis up. I feel for them this morning and I hope that wind doesn't dry out my bags! EDIT: SPIDY SENSE STARTED TINGLING AROUND ONE SO I WENT AND CHECKED. I GUESS WILL POWER ALONE WONT MAKE IT SO THE PLANTS MAKE IT TO WATERING DAY. WIND GUSTS HAVE BEEN HIGHER THAN 35MPH AND IVE SEEN REPORTS OF 25MPH SUSTAINED WIND. I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS HERE BUT IT DRIED OUT SOME BAGS AND WAS TURNINGVPLANTS SIDEWAYS. BOTH 10TH PLANETS (THEY DRINK ALOT OF WATER) AND THE MK ULTRA REVEG WERE BADLY DROOPING. THE REST "MIGHT" HAVE MADE IT UNTIL MORNING BUT WHATS THE POINT? I ALSO HAVE TO LEAVE EARLY TOMORROW TO TAKE THE WIFE TO THE DOCTORS. WHAT I DECIDED ON WAS TO WATER THE PLANTS THAT DRINK THE MOST 2 GALS AND GIVE THE OTHERS TGATXWERENT DROOPING AND LIGHT 1.5. I GAVE THE TWO IN THE TENS A HALF GALLON EACH. THERE ATE TWO PLANTS AT THE BACK (SPECIAL KUSH AND PINK KUSH) THAT I DECIDED TO HOLD OFF AND WATER TOMORROW. I NOTICED SOME LEAVES WITH THE COMMON "IF THE BROWN SURROUNDS YOUR PLANT IS DROWNED" SO IF THE PLANTS HAVE A LITTLE WEIGHT, LOOK GOOD AND HAVE PRAYING LEAVES THEN I SHOULD PROBABLY WAIT TO WATER. THEY ARE ALL GETTING BEATEN TO SHIT BY THIS WIND STORM. IM SURPRISED THERE IS NO DAMAGE. THESE PLANTS ARE VERY STRONG. RESILIENT. I DIDNT WATER THE 50 EITHER AND IM UP IN THE AIR ABOUT WATERING IT TOMORROW. Edit 2 I went over around six once the wind died down a little. All the plants I didn't water look great. It's jist the reveges that took it the worst and has some fading leaves. I fixed it with nutes but it doesn't fix the leaves already pale. The reverse mostly are the ones seeing any stress from this storm. The large special kush in the front has buds like an inch long now. Soon it will be time to treat with plant doctor again. 7/19 Well that was a ridiculous windstorm that lasted all day. It was 54 when I was there this morning. I watered the two kush's in the back with a gallon and the 60 with a gallon. Now it's 9 and 70 but it's not supposed to be as hot. This weather is crazy. I defoliated some leaves from the 10th planet that I treated first with plant doctor. Tomorrow it's due for its second treatment. The other plants are only a couple days different and are doing good. Next watering I think I may treat everything. It's a small enclosure. That would be the smart move. I'm having some leaves yellow up on two of the plants that reveged. It sucks because I know I've overwatered a little on occasion but that's because it's 100° with strong wind running through my bags and drying them out. I give them their 10% so its not that I'm not giving enough at a time. I've also noticed some random pest damage. I'm considering using citric acid as I have it on hand and it supposably also helps with septoria. If I do it it will be a diy of Dr. Zymes. The way I look at it is these are outdoor plants. This isn't a sterile environment and shit like this is going tp happen. I saw a leaf that was almost totally eaten. Probably jpn beetle or grasshopper/cricket but they certainly got a good meal! I need to spend more time in the garden. EDIT: WENT over around noon to check things out. Windy and 77°. It LOOKS like the two 10th planet's and the mk ultra reveg are picking up a little. I think they suffered not only wind stress but over watering do to these 100° that can drop to 60° in a day. Those super hot days I even left them until they drooped before I watered but still wasn't good enough. They're in transition though so they use the most water. Plus those 3 are the ones that revegged. It's getting to be close to the one week mark where I do the second treatment of plant doctor. I may hold off a day to get everything on the same page. I'm thinking about treating everything. If some were good I'd guess they wouldn't be after that horrible wind storm. Plants LOOK good though. I defoliated a couple septoria leaves and a few overwatered or yellow leaves.

Week 6 Flower — Sundae Driver (deep dive) Quick recap — From seed to Week 6 • Germination: Pillbox + water enriched with Aptus Regulator / Start Booster; three seeds, two kept. • Early transplant: Seedlings moved directly into final 11 L fabric pots with a living / amended super-soil (Janeco Light Mix + Aptus line + mycorrhizae, substrate buffer, micro-mix). • Short veg: Minimal veg time (early transplant strategy), light training (leaf-tucking) and one deliberate supercrop to control a “moon-shot” top. • Flower flip: You used an 11/13 light schedule to encourage a firm, fast transition into flower. • Now: Week 6 of flower — plants are large, heavy, and beginning to show clear resin development. ⸻ This week’s snapshot (what you told me) • Solution EC: 0.7 mS/cm (you stopped All-in-One liquid and pulled solution EC down) • Solution pH: ~6.1 • Soil/substrate EC: still comparatively high (you reported earlier numbers around 5–6 mS/cm) — the living soil is doing the heavy lifting. • Feed plan kept: Plagron PowerBuds, Green Sensation, Sugar Royal (all low-dose), plus Aptus Regulator and Aptus CalMag Boost. • Plants: heavy, bulking, obvious frost/trichome production; supercrop site is producing well. ⸻ Why you lowered solution EC and stopped the All-in-One liquid • Letting the soil lead. Your living, richly amended soil already holds lots of available ions. Pulling water-solution EC back to ~0.7 makes the fertigation a light steering input rather than the dominant nutrient source. That reduces the risk of salt buildup while letting the soil biology and reserves feed the plants. • Encouraging ripening, not more vegetative growth. Lowering soluble N input and total EC reduces vegetative vigor and encourages the plant to reallocate energy into flower development and resin production. • Cleaner profile. A lighter solution often helps express terpenes and can reduce harsh residual taste if you choose to flush later. • Risk management. With a high substrate EC you avoid compounding salts, but you must monitor runoff EC/pH to ensure you’re not drifting into deficiency or toxicity. ⸻ Trichomes & white pistils, what you’re seeing and what it means • White pistils (hairs): still plentiful, the plant is mid-flower, still producing new pistils while older ones will start darkening in the coming weeks. A lot of white pistils now is normal at Week 6; they will darken and curl as maturity approaches. • Trichome types & stages: you’re seeing more glandular heads and sticky sugar leaves. Trichomes progress roughly: clear → cloudy/milky → amber. • Clear: immature (not peak potency) • Cloudy/milky: peak cannabinoid expression, usually target harvest for a balanced high • Amber: more degraded THC → more sedative, couch-type effect; some amber is normal depending on desired effect • What heavy trichome coverage now means: the plants have moved into active resin production; enzymes and carbon flux are being directed to terpene and cannabinoid pathways. Continued support (sugars, PK, stable environment) helps maximize resin and terpene development. ⸻ Supercrop update — technical recap & why it worked • Mechanics: you bruised/softened the stem, bent it, and closed the wound so the plant formed a strengthened knuckle. That redirection reduces apical dominance and sends auxin to lateral sites. • Results you observed: rapid curve-up, additional bud sites along the bent branch, and notable fruiting at the knuckle/top area. That’s expected, the wound redirects hormonal flow and the plant compensates by boosting side growth and flowers. • Monitoring: the knuckle strengthens over 3–7 days; watch for any slow-healing splits and keep airflow over the site to prevent moisture pooling. ⸻ Why you kept Plagron + Aptus (what each brings) • Plagron PowerBuds / Green Sensation / Sugar Royal: targeted bloom stimulators (PK, co-factors, carbs/aminos). They help compact flowers, feed terpene pathways, and provide sugars/precursors that support aroma and density. • Plagron Sugar Royal: acts as a carbohydrate/secondary biostimulant — supports microbes and gives a sugar boost that plants and microbes use for energy in resin synthesis. • Aptus Regulator: supports stress resilience, uptake efficiency, cell wall strength — especially valuable under high light/heat. • Aptus CalMag Boost: maintains Ca/Mg balance, essential for cell structure and avoiding tip burn when uptake is rapid. • Strategy: Plagron drives bloom chemistry; Aptus protects physiology and supports clean uptake. With soil heavy on reserves, both are applied as focused steering tools. ⸻ Week 6: What is happening physiologically • The plant transitions from stretch to stacking: calyxes thicken, pistils begin to darken in the coming weeks, and trichome density increases. • Carbohydrate flux is prioritized to the floral sink; you’ll see faster water uptake and increased K demand. • Leaf yellowing in lower leaves often begins around now as N is remobilized to flowers, this is frequently normal in mid-late flower if controlled and not extreme. ⸻ What to expect next (practical timeline & signals) Expect (over the next 1–3 weeks): • Continued calyx swelling and denser flowers. • Trichomes moving from mostly clear → cloudy (you’ll start seeing the ‘frost’ become more opaque). • Stronger terpene aroma as sugars and PK feed resin pathways. • Heavier water uptake and faster EC changes between runs. Don’t expect (yet): • Final resin peak — that typically comes later (weeks 7–10 depending on genetics). • Immediate massive ambering — amber trichomes usually develop later in the finish window. • No surprises — biological systems still can flip; remain monitoring-forward. Watch closely for: • Runoff EC & pH after a couple of waterings — if runoff EC climbs very high, consider a mild runoff correction. • Humidity & bud density: keep RH controlled to avoid botrytis (mid 40–55% during heavy stacking; lower as flowers bulk). • Magnesium / Potassium signs: interveinal yellowing (Mg) or edge cupping/crisping (K) — maintain CalMag and consider K if uptake accelerates. ⸻ Actionable checklist for Week 6 • Continue solution EC ~0.7 and pH ~6.1; treat fertigation as steering. • Measure runoff EC/pH at least once this week — log the results. • Keep Plagron bloom stack + Aptus Regulator & CalMag at light doses. • Keep canopy airflow high; consider lowering RH progressively if buds bulk fast. • Prepare stakes / soft ties or light trellis for heavy colas (supercrop sites may need support). • Microscope checks: start daily/alternate-day inspection of trichomes with 30–60× loupe — photograph if you want a timeline. • Avoid heavy new training; minor tucks/leaf removal to open air/light only. ⸻ A short note on flushing (planning) • Many growers flush with pH-balanced plain water 1–2 weeks before harvest to reduce soluble salts and tighten flavor; opinions vary. If you intend to flush, start planning timing based on trichome stage, not calendar alone. Your living soil and current low-solution EC approach already help keep things cleaner. ⸻ Final reflection — gratitude & community Week 6 is where the plant’s intent becomes visible: form into flower, pack on weight, and build resin. Your measured decision to pull back water EC while continuing Plagron’s bloom stimulants and Aptus support is a smart “steer, don’t force” approach that lets the living soil and the plant do the heavy metabolic work. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Sour Diesel haze is packing on some weight. Bud development is looking very nice! She still has a way to go (3-4 weeks I assume). I backed down a little on the Recharge this week, but still giving twice the suggested amount. Also still giving her Mammoth P. Will start with MegaCrop (Greenleaf) nutrients later this week. 👍

Another great week for the pound cake! I'm so happy that it's growing so big and well for an 11L tub. It's also stretching really well and evenly, all without any training.

Got some better shots without light and a little video my cam is a bit shit got a video of trichs also in there girls seem to be flushing well started flushing the quick one later than the others as wasn't as developed. Took the 2 tester buds of very bottom under the plants on the first day of flush to try estimate how long to flush for........last pic and vid before harvest next uploads will be harvest hopefully
