Hello everyone nothing really to report we are getting some extreme growth and I am loving it. The girls are super happy with their environment. They look droopy because i just fully watered their pots. I gave them some molasses, calmag and kelp. Nothing mas, I think next week I will start to go 25% on the Remo lineup. That foxfarm happy frog/ocean forest mix is excellent for the lazy grower lol just water all the way until it's time to flower basically. Also big shout out to Optic, their lights have my weed growing like weeds ! I had to turn off the GMAX150 for the pics since it does emit a orange hue(due to lack of blue LEDs) but the Phatslim XL is perfect for pics. Let me know if you have any questions or comments :)

Great week sue girl really took off just waiting on that banana daddy to catch up

She smells like summer in a jar 🤤 citrus peel with that tropical passion fruit twist. Tropicana’s got that juicy terp profile dialed in. Perfect for hot days and clear heads.😎

Beginning 3rd week of flowering

We flipped the switch and changed the light cycle to 12 hours. Both lemon ladies are doing pretty well, as is the development. Let's hope for a big harvest!

apenas 1 das que estavam na tela de SCROG conseguiu sustentar até essa semana mesmo com problema de PH do solo, as outras 3 tive que colher na semana passada, a descoloração das folhas já começando a indicar que o fim está próximo, pouquíssimos tricomas ambar, cheiro maravilhoso!

Chunking up very nice!!

Week 3 for our ztrawberries from fastbuds 🍁 We removed the 2 lower branches and leaves. We gave some master root this week. Some of the plants already showed the first preflowers, flowering is starting soon! We also placed a net above just in case we need to sustain the buds in later flowering

Entering Week 5 of Flower. Plants are doing great, really starting to fill out. The strongest of the 3 is thickening up, and the middle one is really starting to stretch. The runt even has good buds forming. I do think that I am starting to see signs of Nitrogen Toxicity in the fast grower, darker leaves and a tendency to curl downwards, so I will be watering with no Nutes this week. Looking like my first harvest will be a good one. Fingers Crossed. 10/14/24- Pruned a few leaves that were getting big and blocking bud sites. Starting to smell amazing, sharp lemon and berry notes. Thickening up every day. 10/15/24 - Nothing new to report. Watered again tonight without nutes. 10/16/24 - Officially 30 days of Flower! I can finally envision the nugs. Shaping up to be a good first run. 10/18/24 - Coming into the end of the week strong. Still fattening up. Glad I decided to flush these girls with plain water, because the first signs of tip burn are showing, so I definitely overfed. Beginner mistake I guess. Hopefully I caught it early enough that I can reverse it or keep it at bay until harvest. Tonight I did a little pruning on the fast grower. I cleaned up a ton of lower larf sites that were just taking up energy and space in the interior of the plant, so I carefully pruned what I was comfortable removing, making sure not to touch or disturb the pistols and sugar leaves. It has drastically increased the airflow and light saturation, and hopefully wont come at too much of a cost in the form of recovery. She always recovered super fast from training, so I'm not worried.

Wochenbericht – Pflanzprojekt (11. Woche – 3. Blütewoche) In der elften Woche entwickeln sich die Buds der Sorten Big Bud, Moby Dick und Amnesia XXL sichtbar weiter. Die Blüten nehmen an Größe und Dichte zu, was auf eine gesunde Entwicklung hinweist. Leider haben die kalten Tage die Temperaturregulierung in der Box erschwert. Die Temperaturen waren über einen längeren Zeitraum eine Herausforderung, und es war notwendig, zusätzliche Maßnahmen zu ergreifen, um das Klima für die Pflanzen stabil zu halten. Trotz dieser Schwierigkeiten sehen die Pflanzen weiterhin vital aus, und die Blütenentwicklung verläuft gut. In den kommenden Tagen wird darauf geachtet, die Temperatur weiterhin zu kontrollieren und den Pflanzen optimale Bedingungen für die nächste Phase der Blüte zu bieten.

12/18 4am CANNAKAN!!!! Giving my FAST Flowers a try. A late spring early summer grow. CannaKan is my new best friend, I had a 100 per cent success rate last time!!! Ok I got it all done at 5:30 am, I set the Temp to 88 MPH or the Time Machine wont work, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT! Marty will meet me in the parking lot at the mall, I have a great feeling about this. 11am Room temperature is 73. Heating Pad set to 88. Water temp 77.7 PERFECT!! 2:30pm blue dream is already starting to open. I think Tropicana cookies looks like she’s opening a little bit. They should all be open by tomorrow. It’s only been about nine hours.👍👍. 11:30pm They all opened. I drained the water put in new distilled water, made sure water level was right. Looks great!!!! 12/19 4am The temp looks good, all are opening nicely. I have to get the pots ready now, put on new stickers, they help identify the plants from different angles, especially in photos. Im doing a low power fast turn around grow in easy to move 1 gallon pots. They will all be topped above the 3rd node, then the bottom or 2nd to the bottom branches will be cut off to achieve a 4 cola grow. Very simple, easy to manage. 11am. 2:30pm, 5:30pm..so tired, finish in the morning. 12/20 12 am 1:30am Just finished TC & GS I had a little trouble seating GS, TC no problems, takes a while to learn. BD is still sprouting, not a long enough tail to bury yet. 9am I think im getting another CannaKan. 10am 👍👍👍 12/21 Put BD in the pot, not sure if she will go or not, I'm firing up the CannaKan and doing another, since its a photo I will keep it in Veg until my next grow cycle. I may do a full 3 gallon grow with this one and take clones, this is fun!!!! gardening, who knew? The new filter paper I got is a little thicker than what came with it takes longer to sink, more dramatic, I got medium in that blue box from amazon. 7am Tropicana Cookies is the Winner of fastest to sprout, she looks great! GS has the shell and skin, it could still fall naturally so I'll wait. BD is unchanged. Micro-surgery on TC got the skin off and she popped right open!! 12:30pm SUCCESS!!! 4 hours later, she's PERFECT, worked GREAT!!! I NEVER thought I would be able to do seed surgery. That was my 3rd time doing that, success every single time! 4pm looks good. 12/22 9am. all look great, GS is taking off VERY strong overnight, TC has taken root her main stalk is already thick!! BD #2 is almost ready. I kept BD#1 underwater too long...then I accidentally ripped her head off this morning......so really not my fault......shhhhh..... 1 pm BD looks perfect 🤩 almost ready. 330pm Did the transplant...I really need to work on that....so nervous when I do it. Im not paid for this but CannaKan is one of the best products Ive ever used. I need lots of practice planting the radicles ...""In botany, the radicle is the first part of a seedling (a growing plant embryo) to emerge from the seed during the process of germination. The radicle is the embryonic root of the plant, and grows downward in the soil (the shoot emerges from the plumule)""..... I had to look radicle up... It makes a complete difference, I dont lose seeds now It just a million times easier using CannaKan.

Had a little heat issue it was hitting 110 degrees outside for four days straight and about 130 degrees in the GrowRoom didn’t have the funds to get a ac for the room but working on it so my lady’s suffered for a few days

Catching up to the Alaskan purple now very bushy have had to tuck and trim quite a few leaves this week by the next morning it’s always twice as full started getting buds this week just the first hairs but right on track the bud blood and igniter work well for helping in transition 2 feeds per week now

🌿 Week 11 – Harvest! (Day 77) Harvest time for my Tropicana Cookies Auto — 77 days from seed to chop. Instead of giving her 24–48 hours of darkness, I decided to harvest right in the middle of her light cycle to preserve maximum THC and terpene content while the resin was at its peak. Trichomes were mostly cloudy with a few amber — exactly where I wanted them. The buds came out dense and sticky with a deep citrus aroma and colorful hues. Final wet weight: 300g, expecting around 60–75g dry after a slow cure. She’s currently drying on mesh racks in a dark, ventilated space with ~21°C and 55–60% RH. I’ll jar her up once the stems snap clean. This was a compact but resin-heavy pheno — rich in terpenes and easy to grow. Really happy with how she turned out. Thanks for following the grow — time to cure and enjoy the results! 🔥🌱

🌱 Animal Mints — Week 5 from Seed (12/12) Special Report: Mixed Timelines – Pre-Flower & Flower Quick recap for new readers This run is a 12/12 from seed project, designed to observe structure, resilience, and expression without extended veg. This week is special because two different timelines are happening in the same room, offering a clear comparison of development paths. ⸻ Plant Timelines Overview 🌿 Plant A — “12/12 from Seed” • Timeline: 12/12 from seed • Stage: Entering pre-flower • Training: Light leaf bending & tucking only • Condition: • Extremely lush, deep healthy green • Calm posture, no stress signals • Very balanced structure when viewed from above This plant is transitioning gently and naturally, exactly what we want to see at this stage. ⸻ 🌸 Plant B — Short Veg → Flower • Timeline: ~15 days under 16h light, then flipped • Stage: Early flower, clearly more advanced • Training: No training at all • Structure: • Classic Christmas / pine tree form • Strong apical dominance • Already showing clear calyx formation and bud building Despite no training, the structure is beautiful and symmetrical. From above, both plants resemble a compact bush — a great illustration of how genetics express across timelines. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions (Week 5) This was a tricky environmental week due to cold external conditions: • Outside: ~4°C with ~98% RH • Inside tent: • Temperature: ~21°C • RH: ~58% (stable and acceptable) • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Plant response: Calm, steady, resilient — no signs of stress The plants are handling the cold remarkably well so far. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy • Top lighting: • 100% power • PPFD: 700–850, depending on plant height • Under-canopy lighting: • Being introduced by the end of this week • Starting at 30% power, intentionally low The goal is not intensity yet — just to signal photon availability from below while maintaining strong top-down light. 🙏 Thanks to Lumiflora for the under-canopy lights being tested 🙏 Thanks to Future of Growth for the main fixtures ⸻ 💧 Watering, Nutrition & Philosophy Water source • Rainwater + dehumidifier water mix • This is why Cal-Mag Pro has been added preventively • Not due to deficiency • But to ensure stability during early flower with low-mineral water This is explained intentionally to avoid future issues, not to correct current ones. ⸻ Feeding structure Autopots (6 plants – mineral only) • EC: 2.29 • pH: ~6.0 • Reservoir = mineral only (organic mixes don’t behave well in tanks) Hand-fed plants (including some Autopot plants) • EC: 1.43 • pH: 5.9 • Organic + mineral mix • Autopot plants receive top feeding once per week This approach requires more work — but it allows: • Individual plant observation • Weight checks before watering • Natural dry-backs • A deeper connection with each plant’s drinking behavior Dry-outs are intentional and combined with enzyme applications, helping recycle dead root matter into available nutrients and encouraging active root exploration. ⸻ Genetics & General Impression I’m genuinely impressed by Animal Mints genetics: • Consistent structure across timelines • Strong health signals • Calm, resilient behavior under less-than-ideal external conditions Both plants are showing real promise, each in their own way. 🙏 Thanks to Zamnesia 🙏 Thanks to Plagron And thanks to everyone following along — supporters, skeptics, haters, lovers — everyone has a place here. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week Expect: • Clear flower progression on the vegged plant • Pre-flower stacking on the 12/12 plant • Plants responding to under-canopy photons • Increased differentiation between timelines Don’t expect: • Heavy defoliation • Aggressive feeding changes • Forced development This run is about listening, not pushing. ⸻ Final note This week is officially marked as Week 5 Flower in GrowDiaries, but in reality it’s a blend of pre-flower and flower stages — and that’s exactly why this report matters. 👽 New team member Meet Mr. Baggy Our new fluffy alien/beaver/whatever-he-is friend, won through a Grow Diaries contest. Expect to see him around — he’s officially part of the grow now. Week 5 Veg/pre-flower | 8×8 Tent | Master Conditions 🌍 External Environment (Context) • Outside temperature: ~5 °C • Outside RH: 92–96% (very high humidity) • Strong seasonal pressure influencing internal stability ⸻ 🌡️ Internal Tent Conditions • Tent temperature: ~21.8 °C (noted drop due to cold external temps) • Tent RH: ~58% → Very good considering outside conditions ⸻ 💨 Airflow & Circulation • Primary airflow: Bottom → top → wall return • Pattern: Full-room vortex circulation • Additional fans: Central airflow to break blind spots and mix layers • Goal: No stagnant pockets, uniform VPD across canopy ⸻ 💧 Water Source & Rationale • Water: Dehumidifier water + rainwater • Base EC: force • Systems designed to support plant intelligence, not override it FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Hello dear confreres, Today I start a completely new journey for me, which is indoor cultivation. - Goals Germinate 10 seeds and create an environment with good crops - Method chosen Hydrated Jiffys with 400ml of water + 0.4ml of VodooJuice + 0.4ml of CalMag After hydration, we place the seeds on the discs and give them 24/0 light and wait.

Cantaloupe haze needed a good flush brought runoff from 2000 ppm to 1100ppm will continue to monitor.

At beginning of week 5, all three plants got 1.6 l of water with 2ml/l Matrix Enzymes. Next day they got nothing to drink. Third day of week 5, everybody got some Advanced Nutrients Jungle Juice, some Calmag, some Sugars and Silica with an EC of 1.9 in 2 l water per plant. Next day no water for the girls but Biotabs BoomBoom Spray on the leaves One day later they only got Calmag, Liquid Weight and silica. Next day again nothing.
