This week the temperature rised a few degrees, so the lamp had to be lifted 5 cm to keep things not so warm (around 27.0 ºC. Still using Big Bud, Bud Candy and Powder Feeding Long Flowering. The Cream Mandarine F1 and the Azure Haze odor is getting sweeter everyday!

91 Grapes day 80; Well for a plant that is supposed to grow a 65 day from sprout she still has some time left to finish. Buds are stacking in true chem91 fashion super dense and chunky but the smell is nothing short of downright grapes, it’s the same smell of grape koolaid when you tear into a package, or a grape pixie stick. Trichomes are getting thick and buds are covered in the grape residue not complaining mind you. She is showing signs of some sort of illness, or nutrient imbalance but she is in mid to late stage of flower development so just going to water her and see what happens, let her grow.

Tessa start in her Grow Week 9 and she look great. The stretch was not to much and it‘s time on day 60 for a defloration. After the stretch end you can do that, but careful not to much. I think i have done a good job, because Tessa look‘s nice, after a few days. Her buds will grow hopefully in the next week‘s and you can see the beginning.

Week 6ix behind All week been struggling to solve the “mystery of yellow top” And “the mystery of not flowering autos” Since both coco plants are not flowering in the same manner i ruled-out the possibility of them being genetically photos instead of autos. The possibility that i’d get 2 different strains to be with such a rare deviation is atomically small. For now have developed a plan and then decided to go a little sideways. First, reducing the EC to 1.3 stable instead of trying to push the plants to the limit. This means a little less that 1/2 of the recommended dosage by the producer. Second, going heavier on cal-mag Keep mimosa fed every day as she seems to devour everything and sit in a light pot. Another thought is iron deficiency but will see in due time if reducing EC and changing watering schedule doesnt help will go and find an iron supplement. And finally, if they dont flower i will switch them to 12/12 but this is last resort, i dont beleive they are photos. Thank you all for sharing your knowledge and beating your powerful minds with me to find a solution. Special thanks to @growinggrannie Stay tuned

Its very small for week 4 compared to my other plants. But this phenotype is sneaky. It'll fatten up soon.

Steady week, all the girls seem to just keep getting bigger and bigger! Defoliated which I forgot to take pictures of however, they literally replaced the foliage in days! I Have a slight worry about one of the GG as she seems to be carrying on vegging with no real signs of flowering, just stretching more each day!? This seems strange as the Stardawgs look like they could be ready for flush in the coming weeks.. I am only a newbie so maybe i'm just been a little paranoid!? Either way She's absolutely massive!! Got the Dawgs out for a little photoshoot!

after 10days in the 12/12 light cycle we lollipopped our plants a little bit. 3 days later we were shocked: the supa choopz was hermaphroditic...What an unfortunate thing considering the good genetics of zmoothiez. We sorted her out, luckily we still have a clone in reserve and he will now make use of the free space. The clone only had one week of veggie in the tent then it was sent into flowering, it has developed magnificently and is as big or bigger than the other ladies but unfortunately not quite as strong. We are still curious and hope for no further unpleasant surprises.

News from the new smoking review Let's go to the flowers. As hard as Carrara marble, Michelangelo as a grower would say that everything was already predictable in the seed, he only transformed the shape, making it divine. Just like his marble blocks within which he already envisaged his magnificent works. And indeed this is a work of art of cannabis genetics that we will never tire of idolizing. As we have said several times, the mums are super, the flowers have a lot of King's Tart mum in terms of hardness and weight, they seem to weigh 30 grams but there are 64-odd flowers that are really heavy and very hard as those who know like it... The new smoking review of Growdiaries isn't bad, I'm trying to understand how they're organizing it but I don't mind at all, they'll be correcting a little bit but the site seems to have improved. From the harvest week Tarte Tatin is a superior level genetics, I'm really not joking about this thing you can see with your own eyes what wonderful flowers it makes. The plant has arrived at the end, I harvested it at the beginning of the harvest window, the pistils were very ripe while the trichomes asked me to stay a few more days, but the plant next to it has got mold on the buds and I won't risk this masterpiece not even as a joke. Don't give up even 0.1g of this beauty. I must say that the American lineage is evident a lot. Already the mother King's Tart had descendants from the legendary LA Kush Cake who was mixed with the legendary Bubba SLush Greenhouse. Here we have taken a further step towards perfection by adding a marvel from a breeder I know from the masterpieces I see published on Instagram, Compound Genetics. In truth, all the conditions were there and I would have torn my face off doing harm with these genetics. The resin is in industrial quantities, look at the photos there is a real crowd of trichomes on the flowers. The foliage is romantic, the kind that makes you fall in love with the truly blue/purple that also reverberates on the flowers. The scent is a mix of all fruits and something sweet and it makes me go crazy like an unscented pussy that walks past you and winks at you. Actually maybe a little more. Alpha male jokes aside, the stuff here is exceptional and closes the circle having used EXCLUSIVELY and deliberately Green House Feeding, as I have said several times it's a bit like eating at home with your mother or grandmother, you grow up strong and healthy and you is ready for a great future. In my lungs. Maybe I'll offer a joint on New Year's Eve at the latest, I'll take the rest. Sorry for the thousand photos I couldn't stop taking and manage to achieve something.

Almost ready. New addition from the yard in the tent. Lemon og has been topped and defoliate some. Once sexed it will either be murdered or made into a mother for future use. The runt is and has always been runty. The sativa dom in back is lovely. Middle light blue bucket leaves starting to yellow and curl. Front most sativa dom bucket is also doing very well. All contain pleasant aromas. Both sweet and piney. Have been watering with banana tea every few days. We’re given a fert 4-5-4 a week ago. Final fert. I did NOT have any flower nutrients with this grow. Sativa dom clone is re vegging well from short flower period before clipping. Germinating around 20 or so seeds. All are bagseed minus one pillow factory from ethos. Journal starting in a few weeks. Will be a SOG from seed grow. Contemplating length of veg period currently. More updates to come

My camera died serveral times so i had to do some photos for this week. I hope i get it repaired for the next week. Another week passes by and i defoliated some leaves again. I LSTed the plant for the last time and will now let it grow without influence as possible. Maybe i should use a trellis net now would be the perfect time.

White Widow – Week 6 | Second Big Flower, Buds Forming 🌸🌿 Light Schedule: 12/12 from seed Room Temp: ~28°C (stabilized with AC) Humidity: ~66% VPD: ~1.33 kPa CO₂: 450–800 ppm Watering: Hand watering Soil Content EC: ~2.96 ⸻ From Hairs to Buds This week marks a real turning point. Our White Widow is moving past simple hairs, now we can clearly see the beginnings of tiny buds forming. It’s the second big flower stage in her journey, and the structure is starting to express the true White Widow personality: compact, resinous, and promising. I took her out of the tent for another photoshoot, capturing her in detail with the Sony A6000. Close-ups show her leaves, structure, and those first clustered flowers. I also filmed short videos, including one where I share how I talk with my plants daily. For me, it’s not optional — it’s part of a symbiotic relationship. Plants respond to energy and care, and I believe everyone should try it. 🌱💭 ⸻ Light Strategy – Emerson Effect Simulation A special note this week: I recorded a screen video from the TrolMaster TM+ app to show how the lights are scheduled. 🌅 Wake-up: The reds switch on 15 minutes before the whites and blues. 🌇 Wind-down: At night, the reds also stay on 15 minutes longer than the other spectrums. This is designed to simulate sunrise and sunset while taking advantage of the Emerson Effect, a synergistic boost in photosynthesis efficiency when far-red and red light are combined with other wavelengths. The result? Plants wake up and settle down more naturally, with smoother light transitions, reduced stress, and potentially increased energy capture. It’s a small tweak, but it reflects how every detail of this environment is tuned with intention. ⸻ Environmental Changes This week, a big addition: the AC unit. Before, the room was running hot at 31–32°C and more, but now it’s stable at 28°C (occasionally 29°C). Combined with ~66% RH, this gives a steady VPD of 1.33, right in a comfortable zone for flower. CO₂ naturally fluctuates between 450–800 ppm, and the plants are thriving in these conditions. Even during the hotter weeks, they adapted beautifully, proof of the resilience of both the genetics and the environment we’ve been building. ⸻ Feeding & New Recipe Until now, she’s been on the Aptus base recipe: • Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L This week, I introduced a Plagron trio to push flower development: • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Why now? Because she’s transitioned from stretch to actual bud formation. Power Buds helps with compact flowering sites, Sugar Royal enhances metabolism and energy (especially under high light), and Green Sensation supports resin and bud swelling later on. Together with Aptus, it’s a blend of precision and experimentation, trusting experience, intuition, and past results. ⸻ 12/12 From Seed – A Quick Recap This run is about exploration: • Started from seeds, with early germination struggles (mistakes included, lessons learned). • This White Widow is the sole survivor of those early days. • Straight into 12/12 from seed, she grew compact and resilient, surprising us by taking her time to flower despite the cycle. • Now, at Week 6, we see her first true buds. She’s not the tallest, but she’s beautiful, living proof of how genetics + environment + patience = results. ⸻ Looking Ahead What to expect: • Buds thickening and clustering. • Stronger aroma starting to emerge. • More demand on nutrition as flowering sites expand. What not to expect: • A tall, stretchy plant — she’s compact and will likely stay that way. • Early harvest — White Widow still takes her time, even under 12/12. ⸻ Shoutouts & Gratitude 🙏 🌱 Zamnesia – for the legendary White Widow genetics 💧 Aptus Holland – for the precise, reliable base nutrients 🌸 Plagron – for the flower enhancers that now join the recipe 💡 ThinkGrow – for the bar LEDs keeping perfect spread 🚀 Future of Grow – for the Black Series 600W full-spectrum power 🧠 TrolMaster – for automating and stabilizing the grow environment (and letting us dial in the Emerson effect with custom light scheduling!) And of course, thank you to everyone following this diary, reading, supporting, and sharing this journey. This project is about more than just one plant, it’s about experimenting, learning, and connecting with the grow along the way. ⸻ 📸 Check the gallery for: • Close-ups of bud formation • Studio shots with the Sony A6000 • Behind-the-scenes of the grow room • Video captures including the TrolMaster light scheduling demo • Daily plant connection moments 🌱 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Hola a todos, día 81 de floración, en las últimas semanas antes de la cosecha, ya se ven los primeros tricomas de color ámbar, la planta ya muestra señales de la disminución de los nutrientes, se ve un degradado natural en la tonalidad del verde de las hojas, sin zonas necróticas salvo las quemaduras de las hojas más cercanas al foco. De aquí en adelante ya no queda mucho trabajo por hacer, observar y reposicionar las ramas que caen por el peso. Hasta la próxima semana!

Hey growmies, the Mimosa Orange Punch ladies are looking better by the day ✌️ The late bloomer is picking up speed and growing beautiful big buds. The other two plants already have massive colas and starting to color to nice purple pink shades.

Things looking almost perfect other than INSECTS!!!!!😱 girls have been sprayed top to toe. I’ll continue to observe. But yes other than that great. The gelato are very big plants going outwards and upwards, all possible flowering spots seem to be taking and slowly covering in pistils😍😍😍 Fliwering has commenced ✌️🏻😬✌️🏻 The plants really bulking out now looking good and strong. And really are covered in flowers. They will get a new flowering light and a little more space to grow tomorrow 😍😍😍😍 hopefully great tings will follow. I’ll be using New Millennium Decision on the girls for a few days in the next couple of days, they really are as tall as they should go.🤔 New light in and tings looking good. After a couple of days under the new light the plants seem more than happy. It’s quite a slim line light too so I’m afforded a little extra room up top in case da girls decide to stretch anymore. Things seem to be settling down now and pistils are multiplying quicker by the day. Got a pleasant smell coming from the stems and leaves, very soft and non aggressive possibly a softer take on GSC coming through, but my nose although huge isn’t that good at picking up subtleties in the aromas it grabs a hold of. The girls really are looking strong and vibrant and seem to be wearing their new found flowers well.
