D-70 : Chaco Haze. They just look amazing, even 1/4 is very small (about 40cm). At this stage she should be 60 or 70 cm high... Anyway, the flowers are doing great. I really hope the will continue to grow. I dream of a grow room full of flowers between 1 and 1.4 m high ! Still 8-9 weeks to go, so they have time :)

SUGARLATO - Green house seeds - week 7 So we’re to start with sugarlato. First things first this strain and the genetics are absolutely top tier, the plant grows easy with only light defoliation done twice in 7 weeks to lolly pop it and also remove fan leaves covering bud sites. She responded well to it with no issues whatsoever. Not once has she looked unhealthy and has lush gold ball size nuggets all over her. The smell is a little earthy from the gelato but then the kings tart brings through a slight pastry sweet smell. This strain and its genetics are a 12 out of 10. Green house seeds are my new favourite. DRSHOTZUK

Day 85 26/07/24 Friday Big feed today full 5L a little run offusimg de-chlorinated water pH 6. So we are through her first transition week. Starting to see sex pistils forming at end of last week. Picture and video update ✌️💚 Day 88 29/07/24 Monday Just de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today, full 5L with just under a 1L run off. Day 89 30/07/24 Tuesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today but I'm adding in Plagron Power Buds AND Plagron PK13-14 only 5ml each to 5ml water. It says to use on every irrigation from early flower so here we go. If I start getting burns I'll cut out a few advanced nutrients extras and go again from there. She is just ridiculous, robust, never stresses, healthy and just wants to throw arms out everywhere 🤣💚 Day 91 01/08/24 Thursday End of week Using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only this time.

7 weeks behind us. Goin' gooooooooood. No more feeding. Last 1.5 weeks will be water-only. I did just yesterday remove some top-layer canopy leaves to increase light penetration to lower budsites. They smell amazing and are beautiful - but I still hope for more resin production in the last week. Every day they get thicker and thicker, yum 😋😋😋

Comling soon

This is the start of flowering! I started 5 days ago so we should see some bud formation really soon done some heavy training on GG#1 . Waiting on GG#2 to shoot out abit more then i will start the sliding stake technique on her as well . Waiting on the more serious formation of flowers before i give a good PK spike . Other then that things are looking good in the garden and we are well on our way to the finish line . Thanks everyone for your support keep rocking out! -Happy Growing!

Beginning of week 7 , last few feeds then water time 🌊

My "Black Light" (from Wizard Trees)—which I’ve nicknamed "Rihanna" for this competition grow—has moved into the grow box. I removed the seed shell so she could begin photosynthesis. Right after the shell was removed, she looked very compact, but by the next day, she had opened up. The leaf structure of this "Black Light" is incredibly tiny; it almost looks as if the essential cotyledons (seed leaves) failed to develop or aren't there at all. Because of this setback, Rihanna’s growth is significantly delayed—she hasn't even managed to grow another centimeter in height by day 7. On day 2, I transplanted her from the starter pot into a larger one, and I noticed that her taproot also appears rather underdeveloped. Still, the 16/8 light cycle I’ve chosen seems to suit her well, as I can at least observe the formation of the first true pair of leaves. Hopefully, Rihanna will gain more leaf mass over the coming week so she can show some more substantial development. After week 1, she is definitely underdeveloped due to her handicap, but that doesn't bother me—the main thing is that she’s alive and growing. That said, I would have expected a bit more—given that this seed cost 50 euros! 👀😅

Wedding Gelato is growing beautifully, great branch development, I gave her the pre flower clean up to remove lower branches and leaves to increase the airflow and prevent running into problems in the lower area. The plant is doing amazing, she gets water + SuperVit by RQS like all the others, no fertilizer just living soil by Sonnenerde.

Everything seems to be going great! She's developing very fast and looks very good,no problems at the moment,let's see how big she gets before flowering starts we're not very far away from that,I'm enjoying a lot growing her,she's an excellent genetic she's being fed just like every single plant that I grow full organically with mycorrizae by florians living organics bat guano by guanokalong,seaweed powder,lactobacillus microorganisms and love,peace guys ❤️💛💚🌱

Almost doubled her height this week since transplant! Lets see how she goes over the next few weeks.

Alright gents, it’s the 2 week homestretch!!! Gonna start flushing with RO water and that’s it. Want to get rid of all the nutes I’ve been feeding for that nice smooth smoke. pH of 6.2-6.4......temperature usually 72-76 F on the water. I only have be defoliating the bright yellow/white leaves. Today was my last feeding with nutes and I’m excited to see development without nutes. Really happy so far with my first grow. Spent so much time on YouTube, reading articles, and scrolling through so many friggin forums.

Day 29: Watered each plant with 0.75L with nuts 1485 ppm, 3150 us/cm, 3.1 EC Day 32: Watered each plant with 0.8L with nuts Day 35: Watered each plant with 0.8L with nuts 1616 ppm, 3438 us/cm, 3.4 EC

As you can see on the pictures, all seems to be ok except that the potting soil is maybe a bit too charged with nutrients: radish leaves are big and thin, the small NL plant is also a bit disturbed by this. This should get better with time. Tomorrow (Jan 08) I'll water the area around the NL5 with corn seed sprout tea. Goal being that with these growth hormones (SST) it'll be able to cope better with the super charged soil. The next step will be deciding which training technique to journey with: hst-mainlining (reg or quad) vs a more popular lst... @sensiseeds let me know if either is totally proscribed from your knowledge on how your genetics behave 😜. Patience wise, I can handle a slow growth, I want this to be fun and exciting. FYI, lights still at ~20% and 60 cm (2ft) from plant

Decided to give these a few more days, was planning to chop them on day 56 but I’ll let them go till day 60. They have had over a week with no nutrition, just water. Photos taken day 59 of flower, they’re coming down tomorrow!!

One of the two phenos is a week ahead of the other. The buds are developing and frosting up real nice. Im having a little issue with yellowing fan leaves on the upper half of the plants... after some research it seems like some growers have the same issue with this strain so idk... any thoughts? I dusted off a old camera I hadn't used in a long time, working on taking better quality pictures. Thanks for following

23/10/2024 Lights On! I opened the tent this evening but it's her morning 🌄 however you like to picture it! Strong smell of gas that' smells bitter like lemons, when it hits the back ya sinuses. After a few minutes taking pictures, the undertones of the nutty earthy leaves prevails and lingers around the room it seems for much longer than the lemons. 24/10/2024 Lights On! 25/10/2024 Lights On! 26/10/2024 Lights On! Deffo smelling very sharp lemon 🍋 27/10/2024 Lights On! Yep, there deffo lemons I'm smelling its a Strong Lemon Toilet Fresher kinda' thing! I'm not saying 'Lemon Toilet Freshers' are my thang! But hey, its a sharp lemon smell! Reminds me of the smell of apple car Freshers but lemon instead! I do say; it's the kind of fresh sharp citrus smell when you open ya car door with fresh Freshers hanging! 😈 👿 Slite nute burn from the Holland nutes! "Note to self: next time time add 0.6ml/l instead of 1ml as a low dose! You'll get it perfect eventually 😌 I'm sure! "Not all fat hairy girls are dumb and smelly: some maybe the lazyones, but this time of year the crazy ones and lazyones have to go shopping, nowonder its bussy this time of year: cues cues cues, like Jesus Christ put a folk in it or two! 😉KFC should do trollies for a family pack! deffo at x-mas time because the halloween treats have vanished, the snow then falls, the prices go up the portions go down (more recycled junk) you gotta blame "global warming" on some fat b!tch taking up the space!. Jokes aside: Mrs.Clause like playing with Santa's snowballs! Sorry folks 😞 that's a backwards sexes Mrs.Santa joke 😃 .....Baha well biite mee for spreading laughs this time of year! - Like her egg yolks! 28/10/2024 Lights On! Sorry uploaded 😔 all the photos from today! Will sort them out later! Cba one of those dayz! I just wanted to get them off my phone! I felt like I was going to say "get them off my chest" reading that over again quickly! - Poor English when I'm not running everything through Ai 😕 or is this actually Ai prompted to make mistakes and appear normal! Aye! Makes you question my whole existence within these entries of folklore and mystic magical characters! Baha I think it's my eyes - I'm seeing purple 💜 👀 on her pistils! Blink twice though and the purple hues is definitely there! Oh boy, this is going to be awesome colour show! I reckon 10-11z give or take! Counting time ⏲️ is a forever losing battle! In ones mind it's a peaceful shuffle rattle! We are just in "Crusing Shuttles" the brain is a bubble 29/10/2024 Lights On! Had to supercrop some branches! Now drinking just over 8.5L/24h. 5L = Day 3.5L = Night The last 4 days i topped up only with water to balance the nutes out; i clearly forgot to mention this! She seems a lot more relaxed and the NPKs have leveled out! BG41 indica tent is doing okay she's drinking 4.5L/24h. "Time for a advocaat! I could be Dutch at heart! Well, I sure do speak it 😏 on the double!" "Reversed Black Joke to a WhiteWoman: She got smacked of a black guy and never went back 😅" You ever wonder why hospital lights frequencies make you feel sick! 😬 😫 deffo the street lamps 🔦 now! Too bright! The sun is more blue with its halos 😇

🌱 Nectar Drip — Week 12 (Week 6 Flower | 12/12 From Seed) We’re now at Week 11/12 from seed, which in this run we define as Week 6 of flower under a true 12/12-from-seed cycle. For anyone just joining — this entire run skipped the traditional vegetative phase. From day one, these plants were placed under 12/12 lighting, creating a growth pattern that behaves closer to autoflowers: fast decisions, no recovery windows, and every day counts. And that’s exactly how we got here. ⸻ ⚙️ Current State — Cruise Control, Maximum Awareness At this stage, the environment is locked and stable: * Light intensity, CO₂, EC, substrate, watering rhythm — all consistent * Hand watering continues daily, allowing direct plant-to-grower feedback * No major adjustments — only observation, correction if needed, and respect for the process This is the silent phase. Nothing dramatic… but everything important is happening. We’re watching closely for: * Any signs of mold or mildew * Micro-deficiencies or excess * Structural stress from weight and density The room is healthy, responsive, and pushing hard. ⸻ ❄️ Week 6 Flower — What’s Actually Happening This is where things accelerate. At Week 6 flower, the plant shifts its energy almost entirely into: * Bud mass expansion * Calyx swelling * Resin (trichome) production And it shows clearly: * Flowers getting denser by the day * Tighter internode stacking * Heavy frost levels across tops and secondary sites This phase is peak reproductive momentum. In a 12/12-from-seed run, it feels faster because: * No extended veg buffer * Continuous clock since day one * Any early efficiency compounds now Right now — they’re efficient. ⸻ 💡 Top-to-Bottom Development — The Under Canopy Effect One of the key observations this run: 👉 Plants are finishing more evenly from top to bottom The under-canopy lighting is driving that by: * Feeding lower bud sites * Reducing top-heavy maturity * Keeping secondary flowers in pace with main colas Result: * More uniform ripening * Better canopy utilization * Less larf, more usable flower ⸻ 🌿 Training vs Natural Growth — Lesson Reinforced Clear takeaway this week: The trained plant is: * Smaller * Slower * Noticeably behind 👉 12/12 from seed does not forgive recovery time Every training event: * Pauses momentum * Redirects energy into repair instead of growth In a cycle this fast, that cost shows up directly in: * Size * Structure * Final yield Conclusion: Less interference, more flow. ⸻ 📸 Frost, Resin & Macro World This is where the visuals take over: * Trichome production fully active * Sugar leaves coated * Buds developing a textured, almost sculpted surface Macro and focus stacking work has started. This is the phase where the plant stops looking like a plant — and starts looking like a landscape. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next (Week 7 Flower) The shift ahead is subtle but critical: * Continued calyx swelling * Pistils darkening and receding * Resin heads moving toward maturity * Aromas intensifying This marks the start of the ripening phase. No rushing. No overcorrection. Maintain. Observe. Let it finish. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude — Energy Exchange Respect to: * GrowDiaries * The community — OGs, new eyes, supporters, skeptics, critics * The genetics * The gear * Everyone crossing paths with this run Energy moved — this is the outcome. ⸻ 👨‍🚀 Mr. Baggy — On Duty Mr. Baggy is: * On-site * Behind the lens * Watching everything closely And doing a solid job at it. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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.

First official week of flowering and I can’t be any more exited for these bad girls. I switched their nutrient intake for flowering aswell as their light cycle. One of the autos seems to be showing a minor deficiency hoping to fix it this week as for everyone happy growing😃.

3/18 🦍🍓Z🍓🍑👍👍👍 gave them water and cal mag yesterday. They are doing good strawberry gorilla is a little close to the light but I also have the light at 91 W until I see some burning. I’m not goi raise it up because of the other two plants in there, but as long as they’re cool and I don’t see any damage should be OK. 3/19💦💦💦🦍🍓🍓👍 3/21🍓🦍🍓🍑💦💦 A little more than 1 gallon split between the four of them the CBD did not need a lot of water. She’s growing really slow. There may be something wrong with the soil because I have too many plants in there she may be absorbing the humidity while the other ones are drying out. It’s a weird dynamic when you have four different plants growing in the same tent one seems to dry out faster and the other one will hold water 👍👍👍👨‍🌾 3/23🍓🍓🦍🍑cbd💦💦💦
