Day 56 - Easy goings. Large and in charge. Flower is fully under way. Really wonder what this one would have done under a larger light that would let it spread out more. Sitting at around 38 inches tall at this point, 49 inches wide.

I put her a week earlier in flower because I don’t have a flower room on 18/6. My 2 grow rooms are on 12/12 and 13/11. I stopped with moving my Amnesia Haze to the balcony for 6 hours and later 12 hours under my kind led K3 lamp, because it stressed her out too much. That is because I’m in a wheelchair and that’s why I can not move her in a gentle way. Normally I grow my plant on 1 location without moving her unless I’m training them or transplant them. I’m not happy with her growth but that is my fault by causing the plant to stress too much with moving her around😅. In future contests I will not make the same mistake, because of my condition. This plant fall of my lap and more shit because of spasms, what for sure fuck with her growth. Good luck in your gardens guys and girls✌️👋. ❌ ❌ ❌

Drunken bitch slap is going good. Roots hit the solution a few days ago and were going deep. So I pruned them so they start spreading wide from basket. The Hortibloom Solux 350 is doing good. Everything is looking on track. Thank you Aeque Genetics, and Hortibloom. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

One plant had a big stretch late this week. But I believe it was due to me placing the middle plant in the back right because my middle light is an older model without bloom switch. And I wanted the nicer plant under the red leds, but over night that next night, it grew like 4 inches above my canopy :/ but i think I'm going to tie the 2 middle stretchers on her to the middle opposing stalks. I started the besties because the buds are formed nicely on top so now I want to start giving some size focused mid bloom nutrients. Going by the schedual so far for flower on my nutrient chart. Oh and when I started using the bud candy I noticed some AMAZING smells that I've never smelt on a strain before. The new tricomes smell like a cotton candy/gummyworm, and the water leaves when cut off smelt like straight gas/diesel. But the 2 smells are not present together. Its weird. Forgot cal mag this week

AK-47 Goxuak Autoflower by Genehtik is a truly awesome plant and really really fun to grow! My 1st thought was I wish I had know more when I ordered the seeds. I only bought 1 from the single seed centre .com 🤦‍♂️ Of all the plants our house sitters watched for us back in week 7, this is the only one they regularly ask about and want to know when its finished. Even they loved growing it! And they only spent a week with her and aren't gardeners 😄 Ashoka started in a Jiffy tomato pod and was transplanted almost as an afterthought. In fact we ran out of containers and had to improvise with the water pitcher. (We didn't have high hopes) Oops. The pitcher turned out to be a big benefit in that I could see the roots and diagnose and potential issues. She has been in the same Fox Farms; Happy Frog soil ever since planting the pod into the pitcher. The soil held up good too. Ashoka didn't start showing any deficiencies until the end of week 6, around the middle of her stretch. Correcting this was very easy, we added the recharge at first but it didn't quite do it. We had to feed her Advanced Nutrients Bloom and Grow for about 2.5 weeks. But this Goxuak really never complained : 1:😎 Low Stress Training (LST) for Ashoka was a breeze! At 14 days she was 4" tall and too short to train. She doubled in height in a week and we started training around day 24. Just in the nick of time too! She entered flower about a week after that and stretched like crazy!🤪 the AK-47 gave us about 3 full weeks of nice flexible branches to train before hardening up. We ended up with a pretty even canopy and some solid colas too I wanted to touch on the lighting as there isn't a lot of options on this platform. Ashoka spent her life under 2 different lights. 1st, she sprouted and spent the first 4 weeks vegging under 2x Viparspectra 600w(250 true watts) LEDs at an 18/6 light cycle. She finished her flower and fade under A Optic 8 (500 true watts) LED. At 18/6 At around day 60 I started flushing her.(well my house sitter Sam did the first time) We used Cyco Kleanse and flushed 5 Gallons thru her until the ppm was down to 350ish, I did the next 2 flushes. The 2nd I used Kleanse again getting the runoff ppm to ~120. Her final week I stopped ph-ing the water and just watered tap. I also gave her the 3rd and final flush with straight Ice cold tap water. She really showed a great fade!! Some buds definitely colored up too!! Finally the Harevst: I put her in a 5Gal bucket of ice in complete darkness for 4 days.😈 This was done with the intent to help her produce more resin and frost up. I can't say if it truly worked. She absolutely doubled the trichome production in those 4 days, but idk if it was the time or the darkness and ice. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I kept her in a sealed closet with a oscillating fan and humidifier at 75°and 63%RH. On the 3rd day I lowered the RH to 50%. She got trimmed and put into jars on the 5th day after harvest. I am monitoring the humidity and burping regularly (8-10x a day) Smoke Report: Creamy pepper with a cherry syrup aftertaste.🤣🤪 I've only smoked a bowl so haven't tested the ashes. But she is curing nice. A bit harsh yet I expect will go away after a couple more days. The high is perfect tho! Just what we wanted. It creeps up on u. But you will be confused by the time you finish the bowl. A very cerebral high(I chopped her whole trichomes were only 10% amber) that was great with good company. My girl andI are both veteran smokers, but this bud still made us both giggly(a rarity). It's a good social smoke and was fun to be on around others. The only downsides were it caused a mild confusion and paranoia. Like I would forget what I was talking about then worry ppl were laughing at me for it(they were though) 🤣🤣 I plan to report more feedback after it had cured a couple weeks. I'll invite others people's opinions as well. Right now I can definitely say the AK-47 Goxuak from Genehtik it an autoflower I would recommend to anyone, but especially new auto growers. I will be ordering more next season if they ate available. Genehtik has won me over. They genetics were extremely stable and safe. No herms no deficiencies nothing but greatness! 🌱🌱🌱 I had to share! I was looking on the breeder Instagram page( @Genehtik_chile) and they used a few of my pictures of Ashoka to represent their AK-47 Goxuak auto. I really feel honored by this. I have only been growing for 5 months and know I'm not good, but it's inspiring and motivating when the breeder of the strain give you an attaboy like this. Thanks Genehtik! Stay tuned for my next autoflower run!!

Die Kabul entwickelt sich prima 👌. Ich habe mir heute nochmal die unteren Blätter sowie die zu kleine Blüten vorgenommen und abgeschnitten. Ich möchte fette Mainbuds 😊! Ich hoffe, das haut auch hin. Aber was soll schon dagegen sprechen. Alles ist im „ grünen „ Bereich und das Mädel hat auch ordentlich Durst. Es ist immer wieder schön diesen Prozess zu verfolgen. Ich liebe es einfach. Bis die Tage ✌️

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 3 Report Early Vegetative Phase (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 🌱 Growth Stage Overview We are officially in Week 3 since germination, which places the plants in early vegetative development, even though this run is being done 12/12 from seed. Growth remains measured and intentional, exactly as expected under this approach. All plants look healthy, lush, and stable, with no signs of stress. What stands out this week is the difference in growth rhythm between phenotypes: • One plant is clearly leading, already showing fully developed true leaves with three fingers, moving confidently toward the fourth. • One plant is developing at a slower pace, still focusing on building structure and leaf mass. • One sits right in between, balanced and steady. This kind of variation is normal and welcome at this stage. Same genetics, same environment — different expressions. Time will tell which one becomes the champion, but for now, all of them are doing exactly what they should. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Climate Control The environment remains consistent and stable, which is key at this phase: • Relative Humidity: ~75–80% • Day Temperature: ~27 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Light Distance: ~1.78 m from canopy • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow is still kept soft and minimal, just enough to refresh the air without disturbing young plants. At this stage, we prioritize calm conditions over aggressive air movement. ⸻ 💡 Lighting The plants continue under the Future of Grow Air Grow Pro III Hyper Red, controlled via the Nova 2C Pro. The light intensity and distance are intentionally conservative, encouraging steady development rather than forced growth. With 12/12 from seed, patience is essential — we’re building structure now so the stretch and early flower development later can happen cleanly and naturally. ⸻ Substrate & Containers • Containers: 15 L plastic bags • Medium: ProMix Even though top growth appears slow, what’s happening below the surface is far more important right now. Root systems are expanding, branching, and learning the container. This is often invisible work — but it sets the pace for everything that follows. ⸻ Nutrition – Philosophy & Application We’re continuing with a hybrid organic–mineral approach, which is something I personally believe in. For me, this offers the best of both worlds: • the precision and consistency of mineral nutrition, • combined with the biological support and resilience associated with organic inputs. Current Nutrition (Light but Consistent): • Plagron Terra Grow (base nutrition) • Power Roots (root stimulation) • Pure Zym (enzyme support) • Sugar Royal (metabolic & microbial support) • Vita Race (foliar & vitality support) • TDS / EC: ~1.0 • pH: ~6.8 The feeding strategy remains steady and repeatable. No chasing trends, no unnecessary changes. The plants are responding with deep green color, strong leaf posture, and balanced growth, which tells us the nutrition is doing its job. Vita Race is being applied confidently, without fear, as part of a proactive approach to plant vitality and stress resistance. ⸻ Watering • Volume: ~0.4 L per plant • Frequency: every 24 hours Watering remains controlled and deliberate, ensuring moisture availability without oversaturation. This supports oxygen availability in the root zone and encourages healthy root exploration. ⸻ Observations & Interpretation Growth is slow — and that’s expected. Running 12/12 from seed means plants prioritize root establishment and internal signaling before expressing visible vertical growth. What matters now is not size, but balance. Leaf color is excellent, structure is clean, and there are no signs of deficiency or toxicity. The differences between plants are genetic expression, not environmental error. Personally, I believe that below the soil surface, things are moving fast — just not in ways we can immediately see. Over the next couple of weeks, I expect a noticeable acceleration in visible development as root systems finish establishing themselves. ⸻ What to Expect / What Not to Expect What to Expect: • Gradual acceleration in growth over the next 1–2 weeks • Continued phenotype variation • Increased leaf complexity and structure • Stable transition toward early flower behavior due to 12/12 What Not to Expect: • Explosive vegetative growth • Uniform plant size • Immediate stretch or flowering signals This is a long game, not a sprint. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude & Community Huge thanks to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL (artist & collaborator) • Plagron • Future of Grow for supporting this journey and making this collaboration possible. And as always, thank you to the community — the supporters, the critics, the curious, the long-time followers, and the newcomers. Everyone is welcome here. Every opinion has value. Criticism helps us grow. Everything shared in this diary reflects my personal experience, my choices, my lessons, and yes — my mistakes. It’s a pleasure to share them openly so we can all learn together. ⸻ 🌟 Week 3 Summary • Environment stable • Nutrition consistent • Roots developing • Phenotypes expressing differently • Plants healthy, calm, and promising The Nectar Drip continues its quiet build — patient, intentional, and full of potential.

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. FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 💡 P.S.2 – PPFD Progression Explained You may notice in some of the photos a reference board showing weeks and PPFD levels, so here’s a quick explanation to give context. For plants that were run under 18/6, the PPFD progression looked like this: • Week 1: ~300 PPFD • Week 2: ~400 PPFD Once we transitioned and aligned everything under 12/12, the light intensity was gradually increased to match plant maturity: • Week 3: ~500 PPFD • Current: moving between 500–600 PPFD, depending on plant height and development From here on, the approach is simple and intuitive: the plants grow toward the light, and we allow the PPFD to rise naturally as the canopy gets closer and stronger. We don’t force intensity — we let the plants tell us when they’re ready. This progressive increase helps avoid stress, encourages healthy structure, and allows the plants to adapt smoothly to higher light levels over time.

We had a couple unseasonably warm days this week, our wood furnace was going when the temps went up. The tent hit 27.5 degrees one day?, which resulted in the heat damage to the leaves. The leaves are also starting to die back faster. I have a feeling they may determine my harvest day instead of my trichomes. Still only some amber, maybe 5-10%, the rest are cloudy with very, very few clear
