Greetings, my esteemed fellow cultivators and botanical enthusiasts! Welcome to the eagerly anticipated Week 12/6 Flower Report for the botanical diva herself, Jealousy, in the Zamnesia Power Buds competition. The journey through the flowering phase has been nothing short of a captivating symphony, and our verdant empress continues to reign supreme in her green kingdom. As we delve into this crucial stage of flowering, the grow room has transformed into a sanctuary of green opulence. Jealousy, in her perpetual prayer pose, seems to be conducting a botanical orchestra, where each leaf, each bud, plays a harmonious role in the grand crescendo of growth. It's like witnessing the culmination of a green saga, where every petal is a testament to the resilience and beauty of our botanical queen. The lush, vibrant greenery that envelops Jealousy is a visual feast for the eyes. It's like a living tapestry woven with threads of health, vitality, and sheer botanical exuberance. Every leaf, with its intricate veins and emerald hues, tells a story of photosynthetic prowess and a plant thriving in optimal conditions. The bud formation has reached a state of sublime perfection. The plumpness and resinous richness of each bud are like treasures waiting to be discovered. It's as if each calyx and trichome is a botanical jewel, sparkling in the radiance of the grow lights. The turbocharged pace of their development is a testament to the genetic prowess of our green empress and the meticulous care she has received throughout this journey. In response to Jealousy's voracious appetite for nutrients, I've raised the TDS to 900 ppm. She's embracing this increase with open leaves, signaling her hunger for more. It's like providing a gourmet feast to our botanical royalty, ensuring that she receives the royal treatment in the form of essential nutrients. And now, let's talk about the aromas that waft through the grow room. The olfactory symphony that Jealousy is producing is nothing short of breathtaking. Each whiff carries promises of the floral abundance that awaits us. But fear not, my fellow growers, as I'll save the full aromatic experience for a dedicated report. Before we conclude this week's odyssey, let's extend our heartfelt thanks and shout-outs to the indispensable contributors to our green adventure. A grand salute to Zamnesia for providing the seeds that birthed this botanical marvel, to Plagron for the nutrients that have fueled her journey, to Grow Diaries for being the platform on which we tell our horticultural tales, and to the incredible community for sharing in the collective knowledge that enriches our green endeavors. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your grow rooms be filled with the same botanical splendor that graces mine. Here's to a week of perpetual prayer, opulent buds, and the anticipation of a harvest that will be the crown jewel of our shared green kingdom. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness.

🌱 Amnesia Skunk — Week 5 (12/12 from seed) First real signs of flower & structural development Welcome to everyone joining the diary at this stage 👋 Here’s a quick recap, followed by a detailed Week 5 update. ⸻ 🔁 Quick recap — how we got here • 12/12 from seed from day one • Winter run, cold & humid external conditions • Focus on plant-led growth, minimal stress • No topping, no aggressive defoliation • Structure built through leaf tucking, gentle bending, and light LST Both plants have developed very similarly, with compact structure and strong lateral branching. No major phenotypic differences so far — which makes this run especially interesting to follow. ⸻ 🌸 Week 5 overview — transition into flower This week marks what feels like the first “real” flower week: • Clear bud sites forming • Vertical growth slowing slightly • Side branches pushing up evenly • Plants staying compact and well-balanced They’re stacking nicely and responding very well to the gentle training approach. ⸻ 🌿 Training & canopy management No heavy interventions here: • Continuous leaf tucking • Gentle branch bending • Very light LST, only where needed to open the canopy No defoliation beyond what’s absolutely necessary. The goal remains: let the plant decide, we just guide So far, this approach is paying off. ⸻ 🍽️ Nutrition & irrigation strategy (important update) ➕ CalMag introduced this week Not because the plants are deficient — but because: • We’re using rainwater + dehumidifier water • These sources are very low in minerals • Calcium & Magnesium need to be present before demand spikes This also explains the EC adjustments this week. ⸻ 🚿 Hand-watered plants • EC: 1.43 • pH: 5.9–6.0 • Water temp: 22.8°C Carefully adjusted to support flower transition without pushing too hard. ⸻ 💧 AutoPot-fed plants (6 plants) • EC: 2.29 • pH: 6.01 • Water temp: 22.8°C AutoPots are running mineral-only inputs, as organic inputs don’t perform well in this system. Higher EC here is intentional and controlled. ⸻ 🔍 Plant handling All plants are regularly: • Taken out of the tent • Checked for weight, water demand, and overall condition • Then returned to their position This helps ensure each plant gets exactly what it needs. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment (winter realities) • Outside: ~5°C, RH 92–96% • Grow room: • Temp: ~21.8°C • RH: ~58% Not ideal on paper — but the plants are not complaining, so we adapt and keep observing. ⸻ 💡 Lighting • PPFD: ~700–850 (depending on plant size and position) • Plants are praying consistently, showing good light response We let the plants “decide” how much they want to push. No forcing — just monitoring. 🔦 Under-canopy lighting — phased introduction By the end of this week, we’ll be plugging in the under-canopy lights. The canopy has already grown past the main light plane, and the goal here is not to blast the lowers — but to signal the plant that light is present from all directions. Why we’re doing this: • Encourage lower and inner bud sites to stay active • Reduce the “shade shutdown” response • Support more uniform flower development • Improve airflow and plant posture as branches respond to multidirectional light Important note: This will start very gently — low intensity, just enough to be perceived. PPFD and intensity under the canopy will be increased gradually, only if the plants respond positively. The idea isn’t forcing production — it’s communication. We let the plant decide how much it wants to use. ⸻ Fungus gnats — honesty section Yes, we’re seeing a small fungus gnat presence: • Yellow sticky traps installed • More intentional dry-downs • Actively monitoring, not panicking Personal thought (not science, just observation): A mild, controlled pressure may trigger subtle defense responses. Whether that translates into anything meaningful later… we’ll see. Either way, it’s under control. ⸻ 👽 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. ⸻ What to expect next • Continued flower site development • Possible stretch differences emerging • Increased nutrient demand soon • Close monitoring of environment as winter progresses No big changes planned unless the plants ask for it. ⸻ 🤝 Final thoughts Same genetics don’t mean same results. Different environments, water, climate, and handling all shape how plants express themselves. I encourage everyone to: • Test • Make mistakes • Observe • Learn • Build your own understanding That’s how real cultivation knowledge is formed. Thanks to everyone following along — this journey is just getting interesting 🌱 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.

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.

Day 38 since starting germination: Everything is looking healthy and happy. I’ve continued leaf tucking & LST. Upped the amount of Diamond nectar from 1ml/gal to 4ml/gal and added Liquid Koolbloom to the feed. Keeping the lights on 20/4 has kept the average low temp a degree higher at 66. I also changed the positioning of the lights. Now the Atreum hydra-3200 is providing ~700 ppfd across the canopy. At this point I’m starting to feed for flower so when I did my water change I also changed the orientation of my RDWC buckets. I removed the bucket with the Northern Lights photo period from the loop so it could be connected to its own reservoir and be fed a veg nutrient solution while the Sour D auto gets its bloom nutrients. I’ve seen some saying a ph of ~6.5 is more ideal for autoflowers so I will be trying that this feed…which works out nice because my solution happened to be right there after mixing the nutrients.

Well, I really didn't have to do much with this Gal. She is very low maintenance. Very fruity, smelly and is full bodied. She lost some of her hardness after a 48hr dark rest, it has made her really sticky, and I was expecting this to happen as the leaf to calyx ratio is high in this pheno. But she makes up for it in smell, let's hope it tastes as nice. I'm not too worried About it not been, as the other 3 GFS I harvested were good, even if I marked 1 wrong. Have hung dry this gal whole, I let it dry out in the coco and took it apart (the pot) and broke away the substrate to leave the roots and let it dry as natural as I can with no stress. This my 1st time doing this, have done it on all 3, so let's hope wasn't a bad idea, will update on smoke report as soon as she's dry.

Started the week with apparently a bug of some sort. Ready to use Neem Oil from Walmart and they're responding fine. Will re-treat in 7 days. Good growth otherwise. Trying different methods of LST. Very fun! Looking forward to a good next 7 days. Going back to an 18/6 time cycle. I think the bat gauno was too potent and I may be watering with high alkaline water that may raise the pH. I had bb lack curled up baby leaves undergrowth and my fan leaves have sucked up all that extra potassium and some leaves have broken off. Some older fan leaves are patchy and discolored but am keeping them to continue saving excess there instead of newer growth. My light schedule also lended imo-high pH even tho it's within normal range going in. I'm trying to lower my humidity and get them ready for a our watering to flush away any iron from my shitty water that could turn to rust if not moved away from the roots. BTW Spider Mites...not husky hair in weed.. Neem oil seems to be working. Put a lady bug in the tent. So I'm a little past 30 days and it's a wash. I got stuff blooming and dying at the same time. I'll post pics soon for observation purposes. I'm going to make a list of my mistakes as well.

Still looking smaller than usual but I think it could be down to the genetics I’m not sure, I saw a little brownish/orange burn spot on the tips of Grapey Walter #2, it dosent look like nute burn but not to sure it’s an issue at the moment. Did the first bit of LST of these girls tonight and hopefully they will respond well and start bushing out letting the dident branches catch up.

I defoliated her, cut away growth at the bottom and leaves on top of the main branches so all budsites will be as much on the same height as possible, shes a bit bright of color wich my other plants dont do with same nutes and setup, i guess its genetics and all normal because flower kicks in. The defoliation also happened to keep the stretch less agressive, i will defoliate again once the stretch stopped at around week 3 when we see the white hairy balls forming.

420Fastbuds-FBA2501 I'm excited as it's tester time. Germination week is complete. I planted 3 seeds and had all 3 sprout within 48hrs of being in the soil. I do soak them for 48hrs in a glass of water before planting. I can't wait to see what the weeks to come will have in store. Happy Growing

Very happy with the progress of this one. She has a lot of tops and is starting to build some buds. I gave her a 10 gallon flush and fresh nutrients. Started them on some liquid Koolbloom. The run is pretty much on autopilot at this point. Just going to keep the juice pumping to them and keep an eye on them to make sure they are happy. Nutrients per gallon .75 tsp maxibloom .2 tsp liquid koolbloom .5 tsp calimagic .25 tsp armor si .1 tsp 90/10 humic/fulvic acid
