Kali Dog

therealgrowmie All three seeds germinated successfully and are now above soil. 3/3 — exactly the start I was hoping for. 🙌 They’re still very young and a little leggy at the moment, so the focus this week is simply establishing roots and getting them settled. First true leaves are coming in and all three seedlings look ready to get moving. These are Kali Dog by Royal Queen Seeds — Chemdawg × Sour Diesel, so I’m especially curious to see how much variation we get between the three as they develop. Later on I’m expecting some serious stretch, diesel/skunk character and hopefully three very different expressions to compare. Week 1 stats: 🌱 Germination: 3/3 🌡️ Temp: 28°C 💧 RH: ~75% 💨 VPD: ~0.85 kPa 💡 Light: Gentle seedling intensity 🕒 Schedule: 18/6

therealgrowmie The three Kali Dogs have officially moved into their next homes. 🐕🌱 Freshly repotted and already looking much more established than last week. All three are pushing new growth nicely, although there’s a little variation between them — exactly what makes running several plants from seed interesting. They’re still young, so the priority right now is simply letting the roots colonize the fresh medium and giving them some time to settle after the transplant. Nothing fancy yet. The real fun with these Kali Dogs comes once they’ve built a solid foundation. Really curious to see how much variation shows up between the three as they develop. 📊 Current Stats 🌡️ Day: 28°C 🌙 Night: 23°C 💧 RH: ~70% 💨 VPD: ~1.1 kPa ☀️ Light cycle: 18/6 🌱 Stage: Early veg ? Status: Freshly repotted

therealgrowmie The Kali Dog is settling in nicely and putting out healthy new growth. She’s still compact at this stage, with a sturdy main stem and good spacing between nodes. The newest leaves are coming in fresh and vigorous, so the focus for now is simply keeping the environment stable and letting the root system build. There’s a little bit of lighter color on some of the older growth, but nothing that looks alarming at this point. I’m mainly watching how she responds over the next week as the roots fill the pot and vegetative growth starts accelerating.

therealgrowmie Since the repot they’ve settled in nicely and started throwing out some proper leaves. The difference between them is already fun to watch — one is trying to become a dinner plate, another is reaching for the ceiling, and the third appears to be quietly plotting something in the back. 😂 They’re still a little awkward and lanky from their seedling days, but the new growth is looking much stronger. Now that the roots have some room, I’m expecting them to start picking up speed. 📊 Current stats 🌡️ Day: ~28°C 💧 RH: ~70% 💨 VPD: ~1.1 kPa 💡 Light: 18/6

therealgrowmie Kali Dog is really starting to take off now. She’s well past the establishment phase and is putting on much stronger vertical and lateral growth. I’ve topped her and transplanted her into the larger pot, so right now the focus is on letting the root system settle in while the side branches take over and build a wider structure. The main stem is thickening nicely, the new growth looks healthy, and the branching pattern is starting to look much more suitable for an even canopy. A little droop remains on some of the older lower leaves, but the fresh growth looks strong, so I’m not too concerned at this point. Current stats 🌱 Strain: Kali Dog 🌿 Stage: Vegetative growth 🌡️ Temperature: 28°C 💧 RH: 70% 📈 VPD: ~1.13 kPa 💡 Light cycle: 18/6 ✂️ Focus: Structure + branching 🎯 Next goal: Build a wide, even canopy before flower At 28°C / 70% RH, ~1.1 kPa VPD is a very comfortable veg environment assuming leaf temperature is close to room temperature.

therealgrowmie The Kali Dogs finally escaped the propagation jungle. 😅 The tent became way too crowded, and some leaves ended up sitting far too close to the lamp. Result: a few crispy brown/light-burned patches. The damaged tissue is staying, but fresh growth looks healthy after moving them into the bigger tent. From here I’m focusing mainly on keeping the environment stable and using VPD as the main climate reference rather than chasing temperature and RH independently. Current targets: 🌡️ 27–28°C 💧 70–75% RH 📈 VPD ≈ 0.9–1.0 kPa 💡 18/6 ? Soil ✂️ Topped & trained They've got considerably more breathing room now, so the goal is a stable ~1.0 kPa VPD, good airflow and some uncomplicated veg time before the next round of training.

therealgrowmie No proper update today, Growmie! But hey, have some AI slob instead 💩😌

therealgrowmie Quite a bit happened this week. The Kali Dogs were repotted and moved into the bigger grow space, giving them some much-needed room to spread out. They handled the move pretty well and are already settling into their new home. 🌿 With the extra space available, I finally started SCROG training properly. Branches are being spread across the net and tucked into open squares to start building a wider, more even canopy. A few clips are helping persuade the more stubborn branches to go where I want them. I also did some defoliation, mainly removing older/damaged leaves and opening up crowded areas so light and airflow can reach the developing shoots. They look a little stripped and chaotic immediately after all the work, but there are plenty of healthy new growth points coming through. 🌡️ Temp: 25°C 💧 RH: 65% ☁️ VPD: ~1.11 kPa (assuming leaf temp ≈ air temp)

therealgrowmie Another week down, and the Kali Dogs are making some nice progress! The girls seem to have settled into their new home after last week's repotting, defoliation and move to the bigger grow tent. There's noticeably more growth across the canopy, with plenty of fresh shoots pushing their way up through the SCROG net. The training is starting to pay off! More and more tops are emerging, and the plants are gradually filling the available space. Still a few uneven spots, but we're getting there. Some older leaves are still showing a little damage, including a few crispy tips and yellow patches. The newer growth looks pretty decent overall, though, so nothing too dramatic at this point. So: - Good progress filling the SCROG net - Plenty of fresh growth and developing tops - Plants recovering from last week's training - Some remaining leaf damage on older foliage - Canopy looking noticeably fuller Last recorded conditions: - Temperature: 25°C - Humidity: 65% RH - VPD: ~1.11 kPa (assuming leaf temperature equals air temperature) For now, I'm pretty happy with how things are developing. The girls are getting bushier, the net is filling up, and there's definitely some potential here.
