Harvested today, truly strong smell, cultivation was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Very happy with the result, anxious for the drying and curing process! Thank you for following along.. 🤜🤛🌱🌿🌲

8ème semaine pour ses dames,flush des racines.

Beginning of week.. Mandarin Cookies seems to be a little ahead.. I've been watering till runoff every 2 days.. Seems like I could even go 3 days in between with better results.. More oxygen to the roots.. And I just read on GWE website that overwatering can cause seedling leaves to be kinda.. Wavy 🌊 ... I always just shrugged it off.. But I would also get algae on the top of the medium.. Always just shrugged it off.. So wtf.. How do people use frequent fergigation?!?.. 6 times a day?!? That's insane.. Maybe in like 20% coco 80% perlite or some shit.. That's just crazy to me tho.. This run, I'm gonna do the best I can to make everything as perfect as possible.. I have been testing the runoff.. I water till I get alot of runoff too.. Like 1L of runoff.. So when I test it, The TDS is coming out great.. Just where I need them to be.. Infact they are both hovering about 20 PPM from eachother.. Awesome.. But the pH has been going in a 6.3.. But coming out at 6.0 and 5.9.. This is reused coco.. Mixed in with some coco/perlite I premixed a few month before.. But never been used.. So my goal is to get the runoff pH the same as it goes in.. Sometimes I have to run water at 6.5 pH just to get it to bump up a little.. So I may have to do that. It's still in a good range for the ladies.. And it should help bring the pH inside the medium up as well.. And hopfully STAY where I need it at.. But as for now.. I am cutting out the Floralicious Plus.. The MYCO+ has all the same shit.. So I am going to use the MYCO+ for veg and Floralicious Plus in flower.. Makes better sense to me.. But yeah.. These girls already have a different branch and leaf structure that Ive been seeing lately.. They are beautiful! Lol.. Oh yeah.. And I have also lowered the light down to 26" from the ladies.. Keeping it at 25% power.. They weren't stretching too much as far as I could tell.. I'm wanting them to grow into the light about 18" - 20" still keeping the power at 25%.. See how that works out.. I'm trying to avoid using 50% power until flower for now.. To help keep the heat down.. This light doesn't get very hot.. But the warmth it does give off and the size of it does kinda help the tent stay a little warmer than my smaller lights did in my 2x2 tent.. It was eaiser to control the heat I guess.. Plus I could probably upgrade to a 6 inch exhaust fan while running a carbon filter.. But I am very excited to see what these girls do! Mid week.. Runoff pH is still a little fucked off. This morning I ran water pH'd to 6.5 and the Mandarin Cookies runoff came out a 6.3.. But the ETHOS Cookies runoff came out at 5.8 still.. What the eff.. The TDS is good.. Going in and coming out.. Not sure wtf to do at this point.. Maybe just keep doing what I been doing.. But the growth on these girls is insane.. I cant wait till next week when the growth explosions happen! They are both already spitting out some nice, promising branches. I got a cheap PAR meter coming in tomorrow.. I hope it works as well as the $500 meters.. But these plants are looking good... for now.. Almost end of week... My PAR meter came in!! Hells yeah! So my light gets about 200 - 250 PPFD at 20 inches on 25% power.. This should be perfect for now.. As for the pH issue.. Ugh.. I'm gonna just have to run some 7.0 thru the medium or something.. So frustrating.. The Mandarin Cookies is showing some slight pH fluctuation spots on the lowest leaves.. I also removed the first set of leaves and branches.. They were just waaay too tiny.. Now she doesn't have to waste energy on them.. As for the ETHOS Cookies.. She's showing alot less pH issues on her leaves.. Some.. But kinda hard to notice.. This is really frustrating.. May ask a question for this grow... End of week.. The Mandarin Cookies seems to be getting the wavy shit.. Ugh.. Just the very bottom leaves.. But they are also beginning to yellow in spots.. I think I need to up the nutes a bit.. They are already beginning their growth explosion! I love this part.. Everyday you can notice alot of growth.. And eventually, you can sprout 1 set of leaves a day! The branches are sprouting out quite a bit as well!.. Its hard to not water every day, but every 3 days.. I'm gonna have to go to watering every other day, I guess.. I can already see roots coming out the bottom of the pots.. Wow.. I may use some Hydroguard for a few weeks.. Just to help the roots even more.. The ones I see coming out the bottom of their pot are already MASSIVE and WHITER than white!!! I think this MYCO+ stuff really does some magical things with these roots! I just watched a detailed video on how myco (not even gonna try to spell it) spouts its own root.. Which finds the nearest plant root and basically takes root inside the plant root.. Which then spouts out its own root system and is able to get nutrients over 700% or 700× better than without mycorhizae.. Crazy.. And it even works in hydroponics.. Somehow.. Idk how.. Cuz I would think you wash away the myco with each water change.. Maybe not.. Again.. Idk.. But yeah.. Crazy shit.. Anyways.. Gonna bump up the nutes a bit and water every other day (water, feed, water, feed, etc.)... On to the next!...

Iniciamos la semana con un cambio de agua. 120 litros a 1.7mS EC y 6,2 Ph 12/09 Se añaden 20l con EC a 0.4. El PH sigue bajando hasta 5.6. Se cambia la bomba para que trabaje con ph+ 15/09 Se añaden 20l con EC a 0.4 El EC 1.9 sube, beben mas que comen. El olor ha aumentado considerablemente

Day 28 of flower and I’m very happy with these two ladies atm. In both vids, you can tell which one will have the fatter nuggs. The plant in the first vid, was transplanted into Fox Farm Ocean Soil and the other was not. I can tell you right now, your grow medium definitely makes or breaks your grow. I will be using FF as medium of choice from here on out. Not much else to say other than they’re done stretching and are starting to fattening up every day. Got a little over 40 days left until it’s harvest time. 42 to be exact! But I’ll catch yall on the next update ✌️🏾

Growing this gelato 41 bx feminized along with some autos so it’s gonna veg for a while. May take some cutting eventually. I havnt seen any grows on this yet.

.

- Week 6 - ----- Day 36 ----- No feeding today as it was tomorrow so nutrient line up isn't up yet. I'll do that tomorrow. Ladies are perfect, I can't wait. less than 30 days away. ----- Day 37 ----- Today is feeding but back left is behind the other 3 again, gave the other 3 500ml of tap water (10ppm) to prevent turgor pressure loss while back left dries up. Should be feeding in 3-4 hours. 23L 1100-1500ppm (new feeding, so ppm end is not known atm) 6.4 pH Plants are insane, big Bertha has become middle Bertha as the other stems have fattened up quickly. Speaking of which plants are in bulk period, 3~ weeks left so it's an exciting time to watch them fatten up. **UPDATE** Fed at 1000ppm 23L 6.4pH The removal of FloraNova Bloom, and letting the chelated Diamond Nectar go to work on the molasses brings down the "accountable" parts by the machine I use. 1000ppm is full strength on all fertilizers being used. I might add more molassses in the future and bring it up to 2ml/L, and maybe a smidge of epsom salts next feeding via foliar or direct feeding after I do some research. No more KoolBloom liquid, KoolBloom powder begins and she's a strong one. ----- Day 38 ----- Yesterday back left plant has me unnecessarily anxious. It didn't need watering till 2 hours before lights off. What I did is fed the other 3 90% of the feeding, and only gave back left 10% (closed the irrigation heads till the end of feeding). I'm HOPING it was the plant transitioning from pre-bulk flower to bulk-flower stage, and maybe it slowed down photosynthesis to concentrate on hormonal changes. I dont know I'm anxious and just talkin out loud. I'll know within 72 hours if there's a major issue with back left. Plant looks fine, i'm just paranoid. Pictures later today around mid light cycle. Buds are getting insanely fat. **Update** Was bored. Here's some wicked shots. Still 25-27~ days left and its big bulk time. Can't wait to see them at the end. ----- Day 39 ----- Everything is great. Feeding late tonight or potentially tomorrow depending on back left plant. I want to make sure bottom center of the root zone has dried out and doesn't begin to mold before I water again. This will also help prevent fungus gnats in the soil. I'll keep the other 3 away from turgor pressure loss, but they got 90% of the feeding last time so I expect them to dry by the time back left is. *** Update *** Now the other 3 plants who were faster on water intake than back left yesterday have slowed down. Weed growing knowledge at a Horticultural greenhouse scientific repeatable level is pure fucking garbage. I have 6~ books and checked dozens of sites and there was major conflicting info on water intake. That's the problem with cannabis, it was illegal for so damn long horticulture practices and knowledge never molded or were used in the process and now it's anyone's fucking guess as to who is telling truth or is spouting bullshit bro-science. Don't even get me started on names. What a stupid god damn naming system "counter-culture" created... I'm growing wedding cake.. WEDDING CAKE? Wtf. That's stupid as shit. Give weed botanical Latin names based on appearance and technical factors PLEASE!!!!!! If I could name this plant it would be (Cannibas v. hybrid 'multa-magnum-fragum-gemmae-dulcis') why? It's due to it being a; Cannabis plant, hybrid variety 'multiple big bud strawberry candy' showing off multiple long bud stems smelling of candy, Is that more convoluted and arrogant than Wedding cake? YES, it is. Is it better? YES fuck your stupid wedding cake name. That's dumb. And you should feel bad. Still want to argue? Name it Cannabis v. Hybrid 'crustulam nuptias' THERE! Wedding cake. fuuuck! 99.99% of plant names are Latin. Anyways... back to the point... I hypothesize that there is a secondary transition portion of flower where the plant (like in stretch transition) pauses its growth to move the hormone and nutrient production to other sources. This secondary pause happens JUST before bulk session begins. This hypothesis states roughly that up until final big bulk period (last 3-4 weeks), fan leaves and sugar leaves could still be produced by the plant during a "predator" or "high weather event" situation that would cripple the plants photosynthesis for final bud/seeding production during early to mid stage flowering. Once the plant has reached adequate nutrient reserves or some other time or light cycle based trigger, it removes the hormonal/internal production/ability of sugar/fan leaves still being potentially produced out of the internode stem cells and fully stops that ability and concentrates 100% of growth on bud structure and protection of bud structures through THC/CBA/CBC/CBD etc. (Im a little tipsy, can't spell cannabinoid leave me alone...) production. Tonight I will at 30 minutes before lights off be judging the water requirements during sleep of each plant to prevent turgor pressure loss, and to allow each plant to finish this transition and get back to major water intake by feeding tomorrow morning. It's insanely obvious somethings changed. I Was worried that leaving back left plant with stagnant water in the bottom saucer (pot doesn't sit directly in the water but is 3 inches above it) had released mold spores and started destroying the root mass of the back left plant but: 1) No obvious plant death signs, weakness or other aspects of it being a slow death from bottom up. 2) The other plants did the same damn thing within 48 hours.... and the back left plant is by far the largest and gets the most "light" due to its size hence it would most likely (HYPOTHESIS) finish its secondary cycle a bit faster due to just volume and weight. Listen i'm not gonna say this is all 100% correct knowledge, It's based off feeling and "knowing" plant cycles as a greenhouse certified Horticultural Technician. Repeated efforts to grow and replicating situations that created these things over and over is the real proof and will come in time. One major benefit is the fact I WILL be re-flowering these for the VERY LEAST 3 full flowering cycles as long as they don't die during flower to veg transition. I will be getting them THC tested EVERY SINGLE flower cycle to prove without a doubt the "maximum maturity" possible of a weed plant re-veg flower cycling, just like how we know by the 5th or 6th successive clone, the DNA will deteriorate and the grow will be stunted or a lesser bud high and yield. God I fucking ramble when I'm bored and tipsy. ----- Day 40 ----- Fed at 1350ppm 6.3pH 23L Plants are doing great. **Update** Little fun video from mid light cycle. Roughly 20-25 days left. Will finish at 30% amber 70% cloudy and will cut branch by branch as they are done, not in a rush to do 1 single cut and will let them survive to re-veg easier and less stressful. ----- Day 41 ----- Easy day. Here's some pics. Just basically have to watch the grass grow today. ----- Day 42 ----- Big photo day, used ruler for most shots. End of beginning of bulk, big bulk starts tomorrow. Could probably feed late night tonight but I'm going to just give 500-750 ml of water depending on roots needs before lights off. Tomorrow will be a big feed for first day of week 7. Tropicanna Glookies tips on back right are beginning to darken and become purple. I am hoping this whole plant turns purple in last 2-3 weeks. We will see. **Update** Back right plant is starting to turn purple and FAST. Pretty awesome.

Day 79, 28th of November 2020: Such a pretty strechy plant... Honestly I haven't met so strechy pheno like her.... Really really nice as it can be seen. Buds are forming all good not much to say apart from the fact that there is some sort of deficiency with her but nothing to really worry. Fertilization is still the same every second day with the rationand mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

So it is still not over and we are going for an overtime for a good narcotic potency with approx. 10% amber trichomes. I have now, for the last and final highstress push for harvest, 3 hrs of 1000ppfd at the crowns and UV- addlights. This should immeadiatly start the oxidation of trichomes in a sprint distance of time. Additionally I also pushed with drybacks of 48hrs and then refill the trays for another 48hrs drayback until we switch of the lights for 48hrs of darkness, just for maximizing and saving terpenes and skunk- funk smelling. Meanwhile I have completed the first Runtz x Layer Cake harvest cuts in the drying growtent, it has been packed into terpeneloc bags and I will update the harvest soon. In the short clip you could see the first cuts of the already harvested crowns. Not the best cuts 😇😎

Welcome The third week was very important because it gave me thick leaves and robust internodes. Unfortunately during the draw, one of them broke. I tried to fix it by tying it with natural raffia, let’s hope it’s safe 😓

Not bad without work 😅

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Listed nutrients are ml/gallon of well water. Day 1 we had partly cloudy skies and a high temp of 72°. I watered from the hose about 2 gallons per pot. Day 2 we had clear skies, sunshine, and high temperature of 89°F. I watered about .75 gallons. Day 3 we had lots of sunshine and clear skies. High temp was 89°. I watered about .5-.75 gallons per pot from the hose. Day 4 we had rain the previous night, so no watering. We had lots of sunshine today and high temperature of 86°. Day 5 we had high temperatures of 88, clear skies, and lots of sunshine. I watered 2-2.5 gallons, from the water hose, per pot. Day 6 we had lots of sun and high temperatures of 90°F. I watered this one twice at about .75 gallons Day 7 we had high temperature of 86° and mostly sunny skies. I fed once about 1 gallon of the above nutrient mixture. This week was a success. The plants height has been achieved. She appears to be entering mid flower. I started feeding a potassium heavy feed on day 7 this week. This formula is 16ml of molasses per gallon of water. This is roughly 2-1-10 npk.

Really starting to smell of blueberries. Cant wait to smoke this, checkrd my ppm run off it was 2800 but no sign of burn or defeciency ph was in rang. Flushed with about 8 litres of phd water to bring it down to 1600ppm . Will start to flush next week allthough all of the pistols are still white so maybe end up being 9 week strain

Začínam tretí týždeň vegetatívneho obdobia. Rozhodnite sa použiť aplikáciu Boom Boom od Biotabs. Ďalšia aplikácia o 14 dní.Today marks the end of my third week of vegetative growth. The plants are already starting to flower. Starting tomorrow, I will start applying fertilizers for the flowering phase.

🌿 Cosmic Noodles — Week 6 Flower (Week 10 from Seed) ✦ Context & Run Setup 12/12 from seed. Autoflower expression under controlled flowering conditions — a hybrid rhythm between speed and structure. What we’re seeing now is the result of early structure + stable environment + precise feeding. And also… one lesson plant that deserves respect. ⸻ ⚠️ The Overwater Plant — A Necessary Decision This week, we made a call. Not emotional — responsible. One plant, previously pushed through intentional overwatering conditions, did not recover. Root zone remained compromised, oxygen exchange was limited, and overall plant vitality continued declining. What we observed: • Persistent droop and lack of turgor recovery • Slowed or stalled bud development • Increased risk profile (humidity pockets, potential for rot/microbial issues) At this stage in flower, the plant wasn’t just underperforming — she was becoming a liability to the room. So the decision was made: ✂️ Harvest early, remove risk, protect the ecosystem. Yield was minimal — but that was never the point. This plant served as a living case study. 💡 Key takeaway for the community: Overwatering is not about “too much water” — it’s about lack of oxygen in the root zone. Once that balance is lost for too long, recovery becomes unlikely. Respect to her. She taught more than she produced. ⸻ 🌱 The Rest of the Garden — Absolute Explosion Now… the contrast. The remaining plants are doing the exact opposite. They are: • Vigorous • Structurally stacked • Visibly happy ✦ What we’re seeing: • Bud sites fully formed and stacking aggressively • Dense, symmetrical structure across the canopy • Leaves holding a deep, healthy green • Strong transpiration and daily drinking rhythm These girls are not just growing — they are driving energy exactly where it needs to go. ⸻ 💧 Water, Feeding & Plant Demand Current intake: • 1.6 – 1.8L per plant / 24h This tells us everything: • Root systems are active • Transpiration is strong • Environment is dialed ✦ Parameters: • Temperature: 26°C • RH: 60% • EC: 2.0 • pH: 6.5 • CO₂: ~1000 ppm This combination is creating: → Efficient nutrient uptake → Strong metabolic activity → Continuous flower development They are eating, drinking, and converting. ⸻ 🌸 Bud Development — Where It Gets Beautiful At ~Week 6 flower: • Calyx stacking is now visibly dominant • Buds are transitioning from formation → mass accumulation • Structure is tightening, weight is coming in And the key detail: 👉 The plants are still pushing fresh growth, not fading early → This means the engine is still running strong You’ve built a system where: • Energy is available • Environment supports it • Genetics are expressing fully That’s why they look like this. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Size & Structure • Average height: ~1.2 meters • Even canopy with strong tops • Light penetration still effective This is the sweet spot: 👉 Big enough to produce 👉 Controlled enough to manage ⸻ 🔍 Why They’re Thriving (While One Didn’t) This is the real lesson of this week. The difference wasn’t genetics. It was the root environment. Healthy plants: • Oxygenated root zone • Stable wet/dry cycle • Consistent nutrient availability Overwatered plant: • Oxygen deprivation • Root stress → reduced uptake • Cascade effect into weak growth Everything above the soil is just a reflection of what happens below it. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Coming into the next phase: ✦ Expect: • Continued bud swelling • Increased density and weight • Possible early signs of fade (depending on feeding strategy) • Higher demand for stability (environment becomes critical now) ✦ Watch for: • Humidity control (as buds thicken) • Airflow through the canopy • Any signs of internal moisture pockets We are entering the “everything counts” phase. ⸻ 🤝 Closing Words To everyone watching this journey: • Day one supporters • Silent observers • Question askers • Even the doubters This is for all of you. To the community, to GD, to the sponsors, to the genetics — thank you for being part of this process. Because this isn’t just a grow. It’s: → Learning → Sharing → Improving together ⸻ And to the garden… One plant taught us a lesson. The others are showing us what happens when everything aligns. This is balance. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

At the end of week 11 the blue dream has done extremely well. She is fully recovered with pale lateral branches and the leaves are soft smooth with 7 fingers with no burnt tips. Her canopy is complete and her stem is stalk like. She has been defoliated the substrate has been loosened and sgrown 5cm this week standing at 73cm tall The blue dream is ready for bloom with no special attention required.

Es el resultado del cruce de 2 variedades me gustan bastante, por lo que se imaginarán lo expectante que estaba por este nuevo ciclo. Me gustó y disfruté mucho viendo el desarrollo de esta planta, esta vez no quise entrenarla (LST, topping) para ver como se desarrollaba y la verdad no me decepcionó, quizás hubiera esperado más producción pero sin duda que la calidad de las flores vale totalmente la pena en desmedro del rendimiento. Flores compactas y poco aireadas completamente repleta de resina dulce y muy frutal. Totalmente recomendable para los que disfrutan de humos dulces, frutales, cremosos y con notas a frutos secos, ¡un lujo! Gracias a Sweet Seeds por darme la oportunidad de cultivar estas 3 novedades que la verdad son unas maravillas que sin duda volveré a cultivar. Será hasta la próxima, buenos humos!

24.10. - Today I've switched the LST technique. I've drilled a few holes to the pots and tied down my plants. One of them is significantly stronger and bigger. I'm wondering if it's because of genetics or if I did something wrong that slowed down the others. 26.10. - Plants started to show first signs of pre flowering stage. I've decided to completely untie the smallest plant as I don't think there will be much yield at all. Other two are growing pretty fine, branches are getting longer and thicker. I will slowly decrease the amount of Bio Grow and start to add a bit of Bio Bloom to the mix. 30.10. - All plants are showing nice improvements. Branches gained on height and got thicker. I can already see some bud sites developing, so I've decided to completely replace Bio Grow with Bloom. 24.10. - 30.10.2023
