The plants are on the final stretch in flower. I’m still working on getting the calmag up to make the ladies look nicer. Overall I’m happy with these aircubes. The ladies grow extremely fast in them.

Last week of Ozz! I’m getting some nice trichromes. Surprisingly, she doesn’t smell much, but she’s still beautiful. She also has the best ratio of buds to leaves out of the three plants of the same strain. I’ll start trimming Dorel by Friday and #4 this weekend to free some space. Then it’ll be Ozz’s turn on Sunday or Monday. The relative humidity levels are getting dangerously high, but the temperatures are still fine until next week. Since she’s covered, I have good hopes she’ll hold. No additional bud has rotted since two weeks ago :)) Just finished trimming Dorel and will do #4 tomorrow. Fan leaves were super frosty so I kept them to cook, ended with 17g of trim (only fan leaves and too small buds) as well as 37g of dry buds. Not much but it was the smallest plant of the 3 by far, I wasn’t expecting more. First taste test was really conclusive, looking forward to testing again after some curing! Edit before I complete the harvest section, all 3 plants cut and just Ozz remaining to dry and trim. Terrible outcome for #4 as I had to throw more than half of the plant away due to bud rots. I’m still really confused about what happened: the day before harvest I noticed and removed 3 bud rots from the plant - so far so good. All remaining buds were fine, but when trimming I realised every single top was maroon-ish at the base and I could clearly see a start of mold when opening some of them. Although I could clearly confirm what it was with a 30x lens, the white spots were extremely scarce and small (less than 1x1mm each time). It doesn’t seem really coherent with how it should have spread. Nonetheless, I didn’t take risk and threw away any bud where I could identify white mold with the lens, and put aside the ones where I had a doubt in pop corns (the “7g maybe”, cf below) to track the evolution. A quick summary of the harvest so far: - Dorel: 250g wet, 37g dry / 17g trim (54g total) - #4: 450g wet, 33g dry / 7g maybe / 29g trim (62-69g total) + a lot thrown away - Ozz: only weighted the two bigger canopie I cut, 162g+142g≈300g wet. It represents around half of the whole plant (probably less, but stem included), so around 5-600g wet total. Still have a few days before I start trimming, but considering the hassle I might start early to not be overwhelmed.

Topping was great ! Starting now with LST using a wire but gently don’t want to harm the plant they opened up pretty good 🙏🏽 I am increasing water by looks.

This week I harvested these two Quebec Black Bud, it was really a great experience. Its unique appearance and these colors charm us from start to finish. Calm in vegetation but surprises us in flowering. I can't wait to see the final product 😇 Harvest : Pheno #1 day 56 flowering 119 total Pheno #2 day 60 flowering 123 total Training : They have received my hand manipulation since day 8 and this every day to force them to grow bigger and stronger until the addition of the scrog. I started my base again on a manifold. For now I'm having fun like that, let's see later 😁 I'll leave you with these beautiful photos and come back to you later. After drying and curing I realize how the color is an intense purple almost black, The genetics are not called Quebec black bud for nothing. the buds are really compact, I know that with the auto pot system I give myself a chance that they will be denser but I believe that hard training leaves its mark.

We did really well this round with this strain even though she grew very different from what Im used too. We ended up with a half pound of some excellent smelling and tasting cannabis!

Day 56 : Well 8 full weeks si ce I flipped the lights and this lady looks so ripe now . Her pistils are mostly orange now throughout the plant. I did get a little second burst of pistils befor e the rest browned off and it swelled them very nicely . Her smell is a fruity sweet but there is also another undertone there I just cant grab at. Will hopefully come out in cure a bit more to nail it. She is nice and sticky now too and has some nice clumps of buds to that are solid to squeeze . I plan to loupe her soon to check her trichromes for cloudiness. She has t skipped a beat the whole grow and will be getting another run out soon. Hopefully next update will be harvesting pics !!!. Be safe growmies UPDATE DAY 61:She is done and out . Yay. I had planned and expected an 11 week flowering due to the genetic mix but she had other ideas. She has been a pleasure to try out and grow and will certainly be popping more of the Fruity Gorillas in the near future. She smells very "fresh fruit stall" at the moment and I am looking forward to how she cures up. I will update as soon as she is harvested from the dried stems. I am hoping for a 1p day slower dry but temps here are crazy at the moment and I cant find a cooler space to dry than my grow room yet. Some new pics of her taken out and trimmed. Thanks for coming along for the journey. Results and smoke report soon !

And the flowering begins! Changed the timer today to 12/12. The plant stems don't seem perfect to me but the clones didn't come as good as they should have been. They were the only ones i had though. The temperature is too high but i can't lower it anymore it's too hot were i live. Can't wait for the colder days! :/ Usually i opt for Scrog but this time i'm going with LST instead because since the grow space is small, its easier for me in case i want to flush or move the plants around. Gonna start the bloom boosters next week. Yay!

Hello people, its been a good week Renaissance. She took well to PK 13/14 and is on Full Cruise now 🙌 There IS a slight tip burn which I am confident, will not spread further because I have already dimmed the Renaissance' side of the light to 75% brightness, besides I will lower the nutes now as well which should help. She smells very spicy (or minty perhaps) and flowery herbal undertones and is extremely sticky, more than the white widows. Her characteristics are supposed to be 80% Sativa. With THC content at around 10% and CBD at 4%. PK 13/14 will be stopped now (been 7 days), with lower A & B from here on. Take care all cya next week 🙏

🇺🇸 Week 8 of Growth – Mother Gorilla – Royal Queen Seeds 🇺🇸 This week, I’m happy! The roots have recovered well. They continue to eliminate dead roots, and you can see in the photos that new root growth is emerging. This is a great sign—it means the plant is regaining strength. The roots have resumed their growth, which is the big highlight of the week. The plant has also continued to develop foliage. It’s now dense and well-filled out. Today, I did a major defoliation to maximize light penetration and maintain good airflow. Now, I’ll let the plant recover because I think I’ll be switching to flowering soon, maybe next week or the one after. I really want to optimize light penetration to encourage new shoots, which will later become flowering sites. Environmental Conditions & Nutrients: We’re still at 18 hours of light, with temperatures between 25–27°C and humidity around 70%. pH and EC: I’ve had some issues with pH rising. It tends to climb to 6.5–6.6, so I have to lower it regularly. Since switching back to RO water, I stopped adding tap water. But now, I’ve started reintroducing small amounts to help stabilize the nutrient solution. Initially, my RO water had an EC of 0.1, which I increased to 0.2–0.3, and now I plan to raise it to 0.4 before adding nutrients. This should help maintain a more stable pH. The EC was set at 1.4, and now it has dropped slightly to 1.3, which is great news—it means the plant is drinking and absorbing nutrients well. Final Thoughts: • The roots are bouncing back. • The plant is strong and healthy. • I performed heavy defoliation and topped some apical growths to keep the canopy even as I finish filling the Scrog net. • I changed the nutrient solution this week, so we’re on a fresh mix. Now, I’ll let the plant recover from the defoliation, which might slow it down for a couple of days. Overall, things are looking great, and we’re getting closer to flowering! ⸻ 🇫🇷 Semaine 8 de Croissance – Mother Gorilla – Royal Queen Seeds 🇫🇷 Cette semaine, je suis content ! Les racines ont bien repris. Elles continuent d’éliminer les racines mortes, et sur les photos, on peut voir que de nouvelles pousses apparaissent. C’est un excellent signe : la plante retrouve sa vigueur. Les racines ont repris leur croissance, et c’est vraiment la bonne nouvelle de la semaine. La plante a également continué son développement foliaire. Elle est maintenant bien touffue et bien fournie. Aujourd’hui, j’ai fait une grosse défoliation pour maximiser la pénétration lumineuse et maintenir une bonne circulation de l’air. Maintenant, je vais laisser la plante récupérer tranquillement, car je pense la passer en floraison bientôt, probablement la semaine prochaine ou celle d’après. Je veux vraiment optimiser la pénétration lumineuse pour favoriser de nouvelles pousses, qui deviendront des sites de floraison. Conditions & Nutrition : On reste sur 18 heures de lumière, avec des températures entre 25 et 27°C, et une humidité d’environ 70%. pH et EC : J’ai eu quelques soucis avec le pH, qui a tendance à monter jusqu’à 6,5–6,6, donc je dois le réajuster régulièrement. Depuis que je suis repassé à l’eau osmosée, je ne mets plus d’eau du robinet, mais j’ai recommencé à en ajouter un peu pour aider à stabiliser la solution nutritive. À l’origine, mon eau osmosée avait une EC de 0,1, que j’ai augmentée à 0,2–0,3, et maintenant, je compte la monter à 0,4 avant d’ajouter les nutriments. Cela devrait aider à maintenir un pH plus stable. L’EC était à 1,4, et maintenant, elle est descendue à 1,3, ce qui est une bonne nouvelle : la plante boit et absorbe bien les nutriments. En résumé : • Les racines reprennent bien. • La plante est forte et en bonne santé. • J’ai fait une grosse défoliation et topé quelques apex pour maintenir une canopée homogène et finaliser le remplissage du Scrog. • Changement de solution nutritive cette semaine, donc on repart sur du neuf. Je vais maintenant laisser la plante récupérer de la défoliation, ce qui la ralentira sans doute un peu pendant 2–3 jours. Dans l’ensemble, ça se passe très bien, et on se rapproche de la floraison ! 🤘😎

Mandarin Squeeze sisters has been doing well. One is dominating the other which was no surprise. I changed the light schedule to 12/12 avout 4 days ago. I also did a solution change on her 2 days ago. They both are looking pretty healthy even with a light battle. All the pest are confirmed dead. As no new signs have been seen for some time. Everything is looking good at the moment. Thank you Terpyz Mutant Genetics, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Everything is looking good. Temperature and humidity under control. Tryed out a 24 hour light schedule for a week no difference so will be switching back to 18-6 to avoid having to water every day. Ghetto trellis 😂

Semaine 3 - Phase Végétative : Journal de Culture pour la Dognabis Cup (Concours DogDoctor)Strain : Zamnesia Permanent Marker Système de culture : Hydroponie Ebb & Flow sur billes d'argile expansé Nutrition : Aptus (programme adapté à la phase végé, EC cible à 2.2 mS/cm) Éclairage : 1000W full spectrum, contrôlé par Trolmaster Tent X (augmentation progressive de 10 PPFD par semaine) Contrôle environnemental : Total via Trolmaster (climat, lumière, CO2, VPD) Objectif global : Maximiser la structure buissonnante pour la floraison future, en visant des monstres... mais adaptation forcée au switch précoce ! Salut la team DogDoctor et la communauté Dognabis Cup ! Voici le récap de ma semaine 3 en végé pour ma Zamnesia Permanent Marker. Cette strain est une bête : elle pousse vite, dense et résineuse, mais comme vous le verrez, je dois déjà anticiper un switch en 12/12 plus tôt que prévu à cause de mes autres plantes en avance (qui stressent pour du temps extra en végé). Pas de monstres XXL cette fois, mais on optimise ce qu'on peut avec du LST/FIM et une gestion fine de l'hydro. Nutrition Aptus qui cartonne, et enfin, le pH s'est stabilisé après des débuts chaotiques – plus de corrections quotidiennes, ouf ! État des PlantesLes bébés Permanent Marker sont en pleine explosion : tiges solides, feuilles larges et dark green, avec une bonne ramification grâce au LST et FIM appliqués cette semaine. J'ai plié et attaché les tops pour une canopée uniforme (environ 4-5 nœuds principaux par plante), et topping sur les plus vigoureuses pour booster les côtés. Croissance verticale contrôlée à ~15-20 cm de hauteur moyenne, mais la densité racinaire est top dans les billes d'argile – pas de signes de stress oxygène. Malheureusement, les autres plantes du run (pas en concours) sont déjà en train de s'étirer et demandent du 12/12 ; je vais devoir les stresser (légèrement réduire les nutriments ou eau) pour grappiller 3-5 jours de végé extra ici. Objectif : ne pas dépasser 4 semaines total en végé pour synchroniser le tout. Pas l'idéal pour des colosses, mais la qualité prime pour la Cup ! Environnement et ContrôlesTout est verrouillé via Trolmaster : température stable autour de 24°C (cible), humidité à 70% (parfait pour la végé), CO2 à 900 PPM (maintien manuel pour booster la photosynthèse). VPD optimal à ~0.9 kPa, ce qui colle pile aux recos Aptus pour éviter transpiration excessive. Lumière augmentée de 10 PPFD comme prévu (maintenant à ~679 PPFD moyen en zone flo), et les graphs montrent une belle stabilité – pas de pics chaotiques. Pour l'hydro : marées réduites de 2 min (maintenant ~15-20 min par cycle) et 2 cycles en moins par jour (de 8 à 6), pour durcir les racines sans noyade. Solution à EC 2.2 (up de 0.2 cette semaine pour suivre la faim végé), pH enfin stable à 6.07 (après des ajustements quotidiens les 2 premières semaines – merci les tampons Aptus !). EC solution à 2.16 mS/cm, temp eau à 17.9°C (refroidisseur au top). Mousture moyenne à 90% – bien drainé, zéro anaérobie. Données Récapitulatives de la SemaineVoici un tableau synthétique des stats clés (moyennes sur Mon/Dim/Nuit pour les zones "Plantes" et "Chambre", basées sur les logs app).

Notes sur les données : PPFD bas en "Dim" car cycles lumière éteints ; focus sur Mon/Nuit pour les moyennes actives. Graphs 24h confirment : Temp stable entre 22-24.5°C, Humidité 58-74%, VPD ~0.7-1.0 kPa, sans outage.Défis et AjustementspH instable résolu : Les 2 premières semaines, je corrigeais tous les jours (oscillations 5.8-6.5 dues à l'hydro neuf). Cette semaine, boom – stable à 6.07 grâce aux stabilisateurs Aptus et monitoring Trolmaster. Victoire ! Switch forcé : Les autres plantes en avance m'obligent à floraison précoce (semaine 4 max). J'aurais aimé 6 semaines pour des monstres, mais on priorise la synchro. Plan B : stresser les leaders (réduire EC de 0.1 sur elles) pour +2-3 jours végé ici. LST/FIM : Appliqué mid-semaine – tops pliés, nœuds boostés. Pas de topping supplémentaire pour éviter stress avant switch. Objectifs Semaine 4 (Transition Végé/Flo)Continuer l'augmentation lumière : +10 PPFD encore (cible ~750 PPFD pour fin végé). Légère baisse EC (à 2.0) pour anticiper flo, sans choc. Arrêter LST/FIM : Laisser repousser librement, focus sur récupération. Tirer max de végé : Stresser les autres plantes (eau/nutriments light) pour retarder leur switch – grappiller du temps pour ces Permanent Marker. Monitoring renforcé : VPD
