Grow Report — Week 6 From Seed (12/12 From Seed · Early Flower / Week 2 Flowering Transition) Quick Recap (for new joiners) This is a 12/12-from-seed run, now entering Week 6 from seed, which we can comfortably call early flower / second week of flowering transition — though we don’t obsess over labels. We follow the plants, not the calendar. Two plants, two approaches: • Plant A: Metal clips + harder structural training, with a short 18/6 period earlier on, plus LST • Plant B: Pure 12/12 from seed, gentle LST and leaf positioning only Both plants are now fully in flower mode, no doubt about it, just expressing it differently, which is expected and welcomed. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Day temperature: ~28°C (successfully raised) • Humidity: ~65% Even though it’s still a bit cold outside, increasing plant mass, higher lighting intensity, and added under-canopy lighting have turned the tent itself into a stronger and more stable heat source. This allowed us to stabilize conditions naturally, without forcing anything — exactly how we like it. Lighting & Atmosphere • PPFD: ~600–850 (depending on plant size and position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm Airflow • Unchanged and dialed in • Vortex extraction • Cross-winds with multiple fans • Constant, gentle movement across the canopy The goal remains the same: fresh air, no stress, no stagnation. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy This week marks an important and intentional nutritional transition. • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 From this point forward, all feedings will be pH 6.0 and above. Why? As flowering progresses, nutrient uptake priorities shift. A slightly higher pH improves the availability of key elements needed for bloom development, and the plants are clearly asking for it. Nutrient Change • Introduced: Terra Bloom — 5 ml/L • Removed: Terra Grow This switch is happening now, not earlier, because the plants have clearly entered the flowering transition. No rush, no shock — just listening to plant signals and responding accordingly. The current Plagron-based approach continues to perform exceptionally well, and plant response has been outstanding so far. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Behavior & Training Notes Both girls are looking amazing, each in their own way. • The metal-clip + harder-trained plant looks structured, composed, and confident • The pure LST plant is expressive, vigorous, and stretching beautifully The plant that experienced a short 18/6 period is currently smaller, noticeably so — which is interesting and worth observing. Not better, not worse — just different. Different light histories, different training styles, different expressions. This is exactly why side-by-side approaches are so valuable. Both plants are: • Healthy • Actively flowering • Responding positively to the environment and nutrition Plant A — Canopy Management Note This was also the week where a light, selective defoliation was performed on Plant A to open the canopy slightly and improve light penetration. She is clearly more advanced in flower development, visually closer to what would normally be considered around day 21 of flowering, and the timing felt right. Only larger, blocking leaves were removed — no stripping, no stress — just enough to: • Improve airflow • Expose developing flower sites • Support her more advanced flowering pace The plant responded calmly and confidently, confirming that the intervention was well-timed and appropriate. They’ve also been in and out of the studio for photos — and they handled it like champions. The in/out space continues to work perfectly. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not to Expect) What to expect: • Continued flower set and structural definition • Stretch management through positioning, not force • Gradual increase in flower density as nutrition settles in What NOT to expect: • No aggressive defoliation • No forced stress techniques • No chasing numbers just for the sake of it This run is about clarity, observation, and respect for plant rhythm. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words A big thank you to: • New joiners discovering this run • Old souls following along quietly • The curious, the critical, the lovers, the haters • Sponsors, supporters, and the wider community Every set of eyes matters. Every perspective adds value. More updates soon — this was Update 1, and we’ll be back after more time with the girls. As always: slow hands, clear eyes, and trust the plant. 🌱✨ 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.

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.

Flowering time! What a week.. The two girls are getting huge! Realise when seeing this tent of two (!) plants, that you are watching autoflowers! The genetics on these are crazy. With the added training each developt 3 or even 4 fully main stems. The amount of bud sites is just crazy and I'm expecting a big yield. The only nutrientes I used are the boosters from RQS. I just reguarly add these with waters and thats it! Nothing less nothing more. You already see them getting frosty. Really excited and amazed! Anyone can sport which of the two is the Bubble Kush and which is the blue cheese? Greetings everyone!

Welcome growfessors 👽 to another episode of growfessor theatre, 4x4 edition. Week 5F begins for the ladies and they are looking good! Frosty trichomes are displaying themselves and bud sites are bulking up!! 🌳💚 Thanks for tuning in growfessors 👽🌳💚, tune in again for another episode!

this is weeks 5 and 6.I topped them and trained the branches out to the side. Plus I broke one... I tried to save it but it broke again later

420 Fastbuds FBT2304 Week 3 Merry Christmas Grow fam. Week 3 for these beautiful plants. I upped the feeding to 1000ml every other day and so far seem to be handling it fine. Will do a mild defoliation this coming week removing the lower leafs at soil level. All in all Happy Growing

She has not grown much only 2cm the ice has very short internode spacing. Her stigmas are puffing out like cotton balls and she is still going although I believe she had some kind of infection no fragrance but definitely developing flowers she stands at approximately 32cm

El día 19 de floración se hace poda de brotes bajos y una pequeña defoliación de hojas de abanico 👍

Buds are really putting on weight! Frost is in abundance. Colas have really gained defined shape and structure. The aroma is getting intense. Full blown bloom is a wonderful thing. Just watching as the sexyness gets more defined. We have hit the major bulking phase. Do to the new phase of growth the feeding has once again changed. I added bud golem to the mix. To get every drip drop of flowering vigor this lady has to push. Really gives that extra umph for the bulking phase. Will eliminate that last bit of grow outta the mix next feed. Than ride that mix to the flush. Until next update . Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Day 63 This plant now shows a much fuller canopy, with strong lateral growth and dense foliage. The training earlier in veg has clearly paid off — multiple tops are reaching upward, giving the structure a wide and balanced appearance. The node spacing is fairly tight, and the plant has developed into a bushy, healthy shape. Leaf color is a deep, rich green, a sign of good nutrient uptake. The canopy is vigorous and energetic, with new shoots continuing to push through. The posture of the leaves is upright and responsive, indicating that the plant is currently in a comfortable environment. No major signs of deficiencies are visible from this angle. At this stage, the plant looks ready to transition soon if the goal is flowering. The main considerations now are airflow and light penetration: the canopy is dense, so a light defoliation of older fan leaves could help improve circulation and ensure even bud development later on. Next steps will be to maintain a steady feeding schedule, monitor watering carefully, and prepare for the upcoming stretch once the light cycle is switched.

Well, they haven't died, lol. J/k. These ladies are 15 days old today and are looking quite content 😁 Still have some adjustments to make but very close to being dialed in. Again this will be a relatively short run, going to veg for 3 more weeks, maybe 4 and then flip the lights. Also only going to do defoliation with these. It'll give me a small scale idea of el natural. Well that's about it for now. As always HAPPY GROWING EVERYONE ✌️❤️😁🍀 EB

Week 5 — Vegetation Phase 🌿 Week 5 has been an absolutely fantastic stage of growth! The plants are showing tremendous vigor and energy — every stem is thick and strong, and the lateral branches are developing beautifully. The canopy is now well-balanced and starting to take a very uniform shape, which is exactly what you want before the transition. 💪🌱 For this week, I adjusted the feeding program to really support strong and healthy development: • Root Simulator: 2.5 ml/L • Generator: 0.15 ml/L • Terra: 2.0 ml/L • Cal-Mag: 1 ml/L The plants are responding exceptionally well to this regimen. Leaf color is a perfect, vibrant green — not too dark, not too light — showing that the nutrient balance is spot-on. Each apex is soaking up energy, and the growth is both dense and vigorous. The structure is becoming more solid, which will help ensure a smooth transition to the next phase. 🌱 Watering is perfectly dialed in now. The substrate dries out evenly between sessions, eliminating any risk of overwatering. Leaves are upright and firm, a clear sign that the plants are thriving and the environment is stable. ✔️ Visually, the garden is looking amazing. The canopy is nicely spread, allowing excellent airflow between branches. The lower growth is filling in gradually, and the top growth is ready to continue its upward expansion. Training efforts are really paying off — the plants are maintaining a strong, even structure with a lot of energy in every node. Overall, Week 5 feels like a pivotal moment. The plants are healthy, vigorous, and responding perfectly to both nutrition and care. The combination of strong stems, dense foliage, and well-spaced branches sets the stage for a successful transition to flowering. The visual appeal alone is exciting — you can really see the potential for the next stages. 🔥 Extremely happy with how things are progressing. If they continue at this pace, the next phase is going to be nothing short of spectacular! 🌿✨

So after week separated the clones. Have mommy in the hydro setup and mommy-x in a bdrm window. Started spraying mommy-x with colateral silver 30 ppm about a week ago and now is in flower. Continue to spray for another week and hopefully see some pollen sacs.. Don't care about pH , nuit's, or method of growing. All I'm worried about is getting mommy-x to make x-pollen and pollenate the other clone. Side note: Funny everyone worries if have a hermi, & I'm deliberately making one.. lol

This is the outcome for week 2 can’t wait to see week 3

TROPICANA COOKIES 🍪 FF/FASTBUDS WEEK #14 OVERALL WEEK #6 FLOWER This week she's doing good no issues she's looking good and her buds are are tight and getting frosty really good looking plant she's got the purple hues in the leaves and some of the buds with the orange hairs!!

Hi everybody at this week my plant has growing well and its stop streching start to perduce some tricome i have force to add more nutrient and its seems to be find for me -bigbud -voodoo juice -pk13 14 and i have do more defoliation so i do its with those plant like 5 time i have add new item bluetooth speaker to let plant listen to the music hope they are enjoy hahaha thanks for follow my plant please comment i happy to reply and ready to take any advice thanks byeeeeeee

•plaguicida foliar(ain grow) •poda baja(2do y 3er nudo) •1g de enhancer x litro de agua aplicacion en el riego

I was unable to use the full power of the Optic 2 LED due to height and heat issues. This was impacting the amount of light each plant was receiving thus stunting their growth (you’ll see the before and after pictures above). I have now brought/installed the HLG 260w Rspec and have noticed a improvement. The new light covers the canopy well and I am now able to give the plants more light which will hopefully help them develop better buds. The Dos-Si-Dos have responded well and is really starting to pack on some weight and she is starting to form some nice buds I will continue to use my PK to help her along, next time I will start the PK at the first sign of flower as I feel from week 4 is a little late. Happy growing 🤙🏿

I got me a new 2025 ELUFAH UAP-1500 for my 2x2 tent. This light has all kinds of cools features for a small 150watt light. It has a switch to change the spectrum and when you flip the switch the color of the light changes so much you can easily tell with your eyes that it changed a lot

So, first week of flower and she is growing strong. Started day 30 with some LST and some light defoilation. Day 31 i applied a net, first time using one so not the best, but seems to work great at spreading branches out. Only watering when needed and water uptake has took off this week, so keeping a close eye so she doesn't dry out to quick and also im conscious as to not over water.
