Great nose and terps. Cookies beats out Humboldt in quality. Yield was very low but that could have been growers error

During the second week of flowering for Purple Kush, here’s what you can expect and steps to ensure a successful grow: Plant Development 1. Bud Formation: Small pre-flower buds (calyxes) will begin forming along the nodes. Pistils (white hairs) may be visible. 2. Stretch Phase: The plant will still be stretching, potentially doubling in height as it transitions into full flowering mode. Care Tips 1. Lighting: Ensure a consistent 12/12 light cycle. Use strong flowering lights (HPS, LED) with red spectrum dominance. 2. Nutrients: Transition to flowering nutrients with a higher phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) ratio. Avoid overfeeding nitrogen to prevent leafy growth. Example: 1-3-2 NPK ratio is common in flowering. 3. Watering: Keep watering consistent but avoid overwatering. Allow slight drying of the topsoil between watering. 4. Temperature & Humidity: Ideal temperature: 65–80°F (18–26°C). Humidity: Reduce to 40–50% to prevent mold/mildew as buds develop. Training If you’re doing any low-stress training (LST), finish this early to avoid stressing the plant during full bloom. Remove any dying or large fan leaves blocking bud sites to improve light penetration. Monitoring Watch for pests like spider mites and early signs of mold or nutrient deficiencies. Look for healthy, vibrant leaves and steady growth in bud sites. By week 2, your Purple Kush should show noticeable progression in flower development, setting you up for a good yield in the weeks to come.

Decent week. Moved into the tent under the big light so stretching should stop. I might have to add some support for the time being.

I ended up running these plants a total of 60 days. Topped each plant 2-3 times. Once flipped to flower the plant does not stretch much. The final product is dense, sticky, frosty buds with a fruit punch and piney gas aroma. Yield for this pheno is above average, but I highly recommend trying to get a top in every trellis hole to get maximum yield. Overall I pulled a little over 3lbs off of 16 plants. Notes: Room size: I'm not sure what to put as grow room size below... room was 8x8x6.7 Gram per watt: Gram per watt per plant doesn't seem to be the best measure in my opinion as it would encourage you to grow fewer plants with longer veg times to get the same yield. Unless I'm missing something? The actual power draw from the wall for each light is = 355watts per 315 LEC x 4 = 1420 watts in Flower. The yield was 1380 grams which makes the total Gram/Watt ration = 0.9718 ***Sorry for the shitty pics... my phone camera is still shit right now and these are all the pics I could get at the moment.

🍇 BlueBerry #1 & #2 — Week 7 Flower From Roots to Resilience Hello beautiful souls, welcome back to our BlueBerry adventure — and a warm hello to anyone just joining us! Let’s do a little recap before diving into the magic. From seed to soil, our girls were lovingly nurtured in Aptus Holland super soil, guided by biological balance and living nutrients. Through every stage — from seedling to lush vegetation, from first pre-flower pistils to dense, frosty colas — these BlueBerries have been nothing short of spectacular. Last week brought a challenge: Bud rot found its way into one of our beauties. But quick action, gentle hands, and a bit of intuition made all the difference. We removed the affected areas, adjusted airflow, and kept a close eye. This week, we’re happy to say no new signs of rot — just thriving flowers and crystal-coated buds glowing under the light. 🌞 Environmental Notes It’s been hot, really hot — outdoor temps reaching 45°C (around 110°F). To manage, we’re running the grow during night cycles, where we can keep the environment steadier. Even with heat challenges, the girls are handling it like queens — strong stems, thick stalks, and buds forming beautifully from top to bottom. 🌿 Feeding & Support Our current recipe remains the Aptus + Plagron combo: • Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost • Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal & Green Sensation Together, they’re forming the symphony of this bloom — supporting cell structure, enhancing terpene expression, and encouraging thick resin development. One of the top buds was removed this week — not out of sadness, but as a precaution and an act of love. It was massive, too dense, and could’ve invited humidity trouble again. We took the chance to document it with photos, showing both the beauty and the lesson. 🌸 Reflections This grow has become a story of evolution — from the first transplant to the first flower, from trial to triumph. The inner canopy lights (ICL300) continue to shine beautifully, ensuring every level of the canopy is well-fed with photons. The plants are stacking heavy, leaning on the yo-yos for support, like true heavyweights in the ring. 💬 A Note of Gratitude A huge thank-you to Zamnesia for keeping the classics alive and to everyone following this journey — readers, growers, dreamers, haters, lovers, and the endlessly curious. Every comment, every question, every bit of love fuels this passion. We’ll keep learning, keep growing, and keep showing that even when nature throws a curveball, love and attention always bring balance back. Until next week — may your gardens be green and your buds be clean. 🌱💫 ⸻ 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Everything is still alive thankfully and smells fuckin tremendous. The pictures were taken on day 49 or 50. I'll probly start flushing some of them over the next week the citradellic are lookin close. They kinda all look close even tho I expected some 70 dayers with the mostly sativa crosses but I gotta get in there and check the trichs.

🇺🇸Grow Journal🇺🇸– Week 5 – Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) Week 5 Summary This week didn’t go as planned. I switched nutrients, and the plant didn’t respond well, possibly due to overfeeding. I probably should have transitioned more gradually to avoid stressing it. Nutrient Issue • Previously used: Formulex • New nutrient: Ionic Hydro Grow • Possible cause: Ionic Hydro Grow has a higher concentration of nutrients than Formulex. The sudden increase may have stressed the plant. • Symptoms: The new leaves are showing signs of damage, which could indicate nutrient burn. Typically, deficiencies affect older leaves first, so it seems more like an excess—but I can’t say for sure. Corrective Actions • Diluted the nutrient solution to lower the EC. • Initial EC: 2.6+ (but my tap water already has a high EC, so the actual nutrient EC is hard to determine). • New EC: Below 2, but again, since my starting EC is high (around 0.8-0.9), it’s difficult to get an exact reading of the nutrient contribution. • pH adjusted to 5.9-6.0. Current Conditions • Light schedule: 18 hours • Humidity: 70% • pH: 5.9-6.0 • EC: Below 2 (but actual nutrient EC remains uncertain). Next Steps • Observe the plant and see if it recovers. • Adjust the next nutrient mix carefully to avoid overfeeding. • Continue light training (LST), but growth has slowed due to stress. Hopefully, the plant will bounce back. I’ll reassess next week and adjust accordingly. 🇫🇷Journal de culture🇫🇷 – Semaine 5 – Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) Résumé de la semaine 5 Cette semaine ne s’est pas passée comme prévu. J’ai changé de nutriments et la plante a mal réagi, probablement à cause d’un surdosage. J’aurais sans doute dû faire une transition plus progressive pour éviter un stress trop brutal. Problème de nutriments • Nutriment précédent : Formulex • Nouveau nutriment : Ionic Hydro Grow • Cause probable : Le Ionic Hydro Grow est plus concentré que le Formulex. L’augmentation soudaine des apports a pu créer un stress. • Symptômes : Les nouvelles feuilles présentent des signes de brûlures ou de stress. Comme les carences touchent généralement d’abord les vieilles feuilles, il est possible que ce soit un excès. Mais je reste prudent sur cette analyse. Corrections apportées • Dilution de la solution nutritive pour faire baisser l’EC. • EC initiale : Supérieure à 2,6 (mais mon eau du robinet a déjà une EC élevée, ce qui fausse un peu la lecture de l’apport réel en nutriments). • Nouvelle EC : Inférieure à 2, mais encore une fois, avec une eau du robinet à 0,8-0,9 EC, il est difficile de déterminer précisément l’apport réel des nutriments. • pH ajusté à 5,9-6,0. Conditions actuelles • Cycle lumineux : 18 heures • Humidité : 70% • pH : 5,9-6,0 • EC : Inférieure à 2 (mais difficile à interpréter précisément). Prochaines étapes • Observer la plante pour voir comment elle évolue. • Ajuster la prochaine solution nutritive avec plus de prudence. • Continuer le palissage, même si la croissance a ralenti à cause du stress. J’espère que la plante va se remettre. Je referai un point la semaine prochaine pour voir comment elle réagit et ajuster en conséquence. 🤘😎

12/01/2021 FIMed all plants a second time, and also FIMed the tips of the other main branches of all plants. They will get another dose of Recharge with their next feeding tomorrow. I will give them exactly one week to recover from this FIMing, and will flip these plants to a 12/12 light flowering schedule. These girls are supposed to have a flower period of about 45 days, but I am expecting to have to run them about 50 days or so. My goal is to get over 8 ounces of nice bud on this run. 12/02/2021 I fed two gallons of water with the nutrients listed above. 12/05/2021 I gave all the girls a second major defoliation. I plan to switch to 12/12 flower cycle this Tuesday evening. 12/06/2021 I removed a few leaves and fed two gallons of water with the nutrients listed above. These girls are doing excellent. They have responded very well to the major defoliation that they received. I will flip them to the 12/12 flower cycle in a day or two I believe. I uploaded a couple of pictures of the strains I plan to grow in the future, which is mostly Humboldt Seed Company genetics

Moinii, Die Frozen Black Cherrys sind mega frosti und riechen derbe nach Citrus und Kirsche. Sie werden langsam etwas größer, aber nicht viel – dafür werden sie zunehmend klebrig. Die Emergen-C dagegen wird richtig fett und saftig und duftet immer noch intensiv nach Orangenschale. Jeden Tag gibt’s neue Veränderungen, einfach geil die Ladys! Bin richtig gespannt, wie’s weitergeht. Bis nächste Woche :)
