What a joy this grow has been. She was a real beauty. Absolute joy to grow...strong branches but she likes to stretch a lot. I knew wat to expect. I have grown Lemon Kush outdoors 3 times. The scrog this year was the perfect solution. I will not grow her again outdoors. This was my first time to see her finish. Seeing her flower this year, she just needs the warmth in the end. The climate here rarely offers that. I must say the dense flowers are amazing also size and yield is incredible. Update about that later. Trichomes were underdeveloped. I had to harvest early because of mould. The last 3 weeks of flower the temperatures were very low 10-15 C daytime and very very wet. I believe this stunted the plants. They made a full stop in development and exploded again in the last week. 3 days of sun did more than the 2 weeks before. Weather forecast were bad so big buds were harvested 25 september. We eventually had more sun than expected and bottom half was left until 2 october. That week made sooo much difference!! Those bottom buds finally developed some nice trichomes and turned purple. Of course I wish the big buds could have enjoyed the sunshine during that last week as well. Most of you will know, being an outdoor grower...Every year is about compromises. This year was so hot during growth and cold and wet in bloom that mould was unstoppable. After all I am very pleased with this grow and cant wait to taste some of this. Probably needs al long cure though to bring back that lemon scent. Almost seems like all that the rain washed the scent right off her😪 Keep growing y'all!

Flower Week 1 Day 7 to 13 - 3/25 to 3/31 Simply watching the stretch from this point. Both plants recovered very nicely from Schwazze extreme defoliation and all of the colas/branches are mostly even at top. Feed this week was again an auto pot reservoir feed at 650ppm total before add-ins. I used 325ppm Veg concentrate mix (recipe week 2) and 325ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). However, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) and ph balance this week was for 5.8 where Io plan to maintain it until harvest. Next week nutes will increase in Bloom mix again but also reduce in Veg mix. Feed will be 700ppm before add-ins with 5.8ph before feeding.

Arrancamos la 5ª semana de floración con todo defoliado y en pleno desarrollo de cogollos. Los próximos riegos ya incluyen BIG BOOM el explota cogollos de @boom_nutrients y el Compactor BOOM para compactar las flores. Hoy día estábamos regando con una ec media, sobre 1,2 o 1,4 máximo. A partir de ahora se vienen las ec altas de 1,8 y 2,0 incluso llegaremos a 2,4 de ec. Importante ahora más que nunca, saber interpretar a la planta para regarla de una forma u otra, saber si darle más un producto que otro y la cantidad de agua que demanda. Por lo demás, ya sabéis son 6 white truffle y 3 apple&bazookies de @gbstrains y 3 gorilla glue 4 de GBSEEDS

Week 5 (20/02 - 26/02) I made no progress with the LST last week, hoping to do better the next grow. Some secondary branches developed more than usually but not as expected. I haven't been effective enough with the training. The last day of the past week, the two fat banana moved into pre-flowering, while the blue cheese is still into vegetative stage. During this week, I will start to add bio-bloom and top-max together with the bio-grow. The light will be to 40 cm from top of the plants at 100% of its power. No changes to the heating/cooling parameters. 20/02 D28: - 21/02 D29: watering day. Added to 2.5 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 1ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max. This evening, being secondary branches still flexible, I've tried to horizontally extend them with ropes in order to give them more light, let's see what happens in next two days. 22/02 D30: leafs sprayed with tap water 23/02 D31: watering day. 1 liter of tap water only each plant. Evening check: plants became thirsty; the soil seems to be almost dry even if I watered them this morning. 24/02 D32: watering day. Added to 2.5 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 2ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max. 25/02 D33: leafs sprayed with water. 1 liter of tap water each because they are growing and drinking a lot. 26/02 D34: Added to 2 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 2ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max. They seem to grow well and faster. The blue cheese seems to be in pre-flowering, almost a week later than the two fat banana.

8/16/25 looks like she's gonna produce some chunky buds. Thick white trichomes everywhere on the plant. Seems like she would produce a decent yield

Hi guys, At the end of the story, I am very happy with the whole cycle and finally the outcome, I almost killed everything in there 😂 The Black D.O.G is a great Indica dominant strain, with a short flowering period. I did have problems throughout the cycle overfertilizing the plant, even though, this strain in particular is the one that recovered better and gave me a precious final product. Iinfact, I kept almost all the flowers, just the super baby pop-corn went for bubble hash. I topped them, and then practiced LST training to help them growing wider. Probably if I wouldnt have messed up with the ferilizer I would have a much better final product, this time, talking about quantity and quality. The whole plants were dried for 18 days after which they were finished in jars for another 6 weeks, if I dont fell sooner. Really looking forward to grow this strain again Indoor, I'am amazed by the terpene profile and the amount of resin they produced, even under my terribles mistake! STRONG GENETIC! I would like to thank Grow Diaries for this amazingly-organized community they have created, where we all can learn a lot, and share something we really love. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and looked at the diary, squeezed the like button or comment the diary. 13/12 I'VE MADE MY FIRST RUN OF BUBBLE HASH! Very very happy with the end result, did not weight anything yet because is still wet big time, I lightly squeezed it a bit, before let it drying on parchment on a cardboard. The smell it's just absolutely crazy. I can smell strong citrus notes in the 120µm but the 90µm and 73µm explodes with crazy-sweet note. While the 25µm (did not use the 43µm) where I did collect most of the hash, smell like good and sweet hash, nothing crazy like the previous ones but a very buttery like consistency that makes me want to eat it like this...dont ask me why...even though I know you all probably felt this way too... Anyway, the paper sheet says it all about timing, washes and µm used for the extractions, but just in case I'll explain it down here. I have done 3 wash with different timing. 1º wash: 5 min only to get the most brittle trichome heads 2º wash: 10 min stardard 3º wash: 30 min to stock up a bit 😅 I could have done an extra wash for sure and get more out, but I was running out of time so...I will update with the dry weight, it was not the only wash I've done, that were just too many grades to weight up..so I chose to do it once all dry! See you really soon with on the nex run pals!

First week of bud 8-2-25 All the girls are doing really good.top dressed all of the girls with. 5lb bone meal 5lb kelp meal 5lb Sulfate of Potash Magnesia 30lb of worm castings 25 lb home compost All of the plants are doing very well. The apple fritter is getting close to 9 feet tall now it is the tallest of the girls. The run layer cake is the second largest plant of them. It is slightly over 8 feet tall the Dosie dose 33 is coming in third at just at 8 feet with the smallest of the plants, but the fastest of recent growth is the sherbet cream cake and that plant is almost 8 feet tall. oddly enough on two of my plants I did notice what I believe to be a zinc and potassium deficiency so I’m hoping that with the 50 pounds of top dress with all of the amendments, it will have everything that it requires and the slight yellowing I saw on the lease will dissipate other than that the girls are still getting boogie brew tea every seven days and getting their foliage sprayed every four days as well as getting bricks root drenched every 10 daysz

Major issues with calcium def for no reason and a weird re veg, and the utter lack of mould resistance. Plant was tall and buds are huge and dense, let's hope the taste is phenomenal.

1/4: Crazy stink suddenly erupting from the closet over the past few days..ordered a new carbon filter and replaced all other carbon filters in the house...and 3 jars of skunk scrubber...worth a shot... 1/5: Now just have 13 plants in the closet, so maybe I can increase mass and density on the lowers a little better now. Moved the Platonium, Velvet Sugar Breath (Sugah Bref), and the GG4 into the tiny tent under a pair of Mars Hydro TS1000W's. They spent the first month of their lives in this tent, and they'll spend the last month in there as well. There's barely enough headroom for them, but they have a little more elbow room than they did in the closet. I think I'll put one of my 70w 3000k waterproof boards on the floor of the tiny tent facing upwards tomorrow and see if the temps are still manageable on mild days. 1/10: Very happy with all these girls! Even the Berry Bomb is showing potential, but the Wicked Stix plants are absolute stellar whoopass The trichs on the green Sucrose Overdose pheno look like river sand, or maybe brown sugar. Sexy. The red-leaved pheno has frost half way out its fan leaves and smells amazing. The Muscadine Wines are my favorite plants in the crop, though. Every bit as frosty as the SOs, but the sexy burgundy colorations make them special. Platonuium and Sugah Bref are also coming along very nicely. You can tell they've got something special brewing...wonderful aromas. The GG4 is the slowest flowering of the bunch, but she's gonna produce very well. Her branches are all over the place.

Week 7 – Day 51 Flower Day 21 🔄 Looking back: A calm and steady week – mostly just watering, observing, and removing an occasional leaf 🍃 Stretch seems to be slowing down now. Vertical space is getting tight, but still manageable 😅 🌱 Mimosa Evo – Growth & Nutrients 📏 She hit the 100 cm mark this week – tallest plant in the tent! 🏆 💧 Drain pH is 5.9, even though she receives the same nutrient mix as White Widow. ⚗️ Feeding at 85% of the Advanced Nutrients Masterline schedule 🤷‍♂️ Not sure why she buffers pH better – but she’s clearly thriving! pH & Soil Compatibility Insight One thing I've noticed: it’s really hard to raise the drain pH when using BioBizz Light Mix together with Advanced Nutrients. After some research, this might be due to the way BioBizz buffers pH – using microbes instead of lime (like in Plagron or Canna substrates). Plus, I’m feeding those microbes with Bud Candy, which might lower the pH even further. 💡 If you're using Advanced Nutrients, you might get more stable pH results with soils like Plagron Growmix or Canna Terra Professional, which use dolomite lime.

On this week(12) i decide to harvest BCN cause of found some mold on bud. As weighting on wet condition got totally 300g for 2 plant. For Pine apple as check trichrome i thing it around 70-80% cloudy and not found any mold. So, i let her continue flowering and will check trichrome again next 1-2 week.

Week 5 pretty successful, nothing bad happened, had good growth considering the troubles I had the week before. Leaving town for 3 days so they will be on their own. Plan on watering right before I leave and right when I get back. Got my lights on timers now. Pulled the light up to 24 inch assuming/expecting the plants will grow a bit while I'm gone. Had a lil bit of yellowing at some of the tips of one of the plants as seen in pic above. Any ideas y? Also posted a video and just curious if the wind is too much..?

So what to say about this week sadly we ended up having to kill one because it turned out hermied we ended up moving the other into the closet in the hallway and put it under a blurple100 watt by par spectra from wayb ack in the day. The good news is the one didn't hermied and it's still in veg so it might be a large plant. So we shall see same thing keeping it moist last feed was on December 20th next will be January 10th
