We’re back again fellow growers! How ya been? Tried something different this time around with the pics since ya can’t really see much plant color with the purple lighting ha One new discovery I’ve made with the last slurry is these girls are getting HUNGRY - Feeding is at an all time high - but that may have something to do with a freaking 10 week veg 😂😂😂 Also I accidentally bumped a nug as I was bending some stems around and my god.. the smell emanating from these girls is AMAZING! 10 years ago I would have just squeezed a nug, now I know that’s not the best to do lol Speaking of the past - Does anyone else kinda miss the classic undercover nature of growing from the days old? Where you were watching a guy with a mask & sunglasses on YouTube at 2am climbing in his closet with a bottle of big bloom? Or Chubbs with his late night dabs and stories? (Still remember when he got in that road rage fight years ago) INSANE. Those were the times! Make sure you catch the short video, until next time - I’m out boys!

Stretched vigorously once she started to transition to flower. Developed potency early in flower! She was LST'd weekly, starting week 2. She was also gently lolipopped a few times, to maintain growth towards 5-6 nodes only.

5/4: She stretched a few inches. I'll tie down her tallest branches in the next couple of days and when they get to the third node, I'll top her again. I gave her a little water with myco, kelp, molasses, cal-mag, silica, and humic acid. 5/6: I did a little LST on her today and fed her about a gallon of water with boomerang, grow big, big bloom, cal-mag, silica, and humic acid. This was the last time I'll give her any grow big or boomerang...there's plenty of good stuff to support good growth for at least a month in the Happy Frog dry fertilizer I'm using. 5/7: I foliar fed with big bloom, grow big, silica, fulvic acid, and molasses. 5/8: I did a foliar application of Axiom harpin proteins. 5/9: I did a foliar application of boom boom spray. 5/10: She's growing very well now, so I topped all her main shoots and tied them them down to encourage the lower branches to compete for apical dominance. I'll water her tomorrow if it doesn't rain. That's it for week 5

This plant came from a random seed I found in a dispensary bag and since we have dozens and dozens of bags I don't know which one it came out of...so the strain is unknown. I’m not sure whether it’s a photoperiod or an autoflower, but I’m assuming it’s a photoperiod for now. I started it indoors in a tent, germinating the seed using the paper towel method before planting it in a small quart-sized pot. It’s been growing for a few weeks in Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil, but the leaves have just started to fade, so I’m preparing to transplant it into its final home—a 50-gallon pot outdoors now that it’s spring. The 50-gallon pot is filled mostly with standard potting soil, mixed with Fox Farm Ocean Forest and perlite. A few weeks after transplanting, I’ll begin feeding it a combination of liquid nutrients including Advanced Nutrients, Fox Farm, CalMag, and Mikrobs Microbial Superpack. I’ll also top-dress with worm castings and other amendments as needed. If the plant turns out to be male, I’ll harvest the pollen or any seeds it produces. If it’s female, I plan to grow it as large as possible—which is why I’ve chosen such a large pot and moved it outdoors.

Both plants grow with a nice healthy green color and develop well. Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barabara Bud) plant # 2 is a little taller than plant #1 at this time, but both show nice side-branching and overall growth. They love the Advanced Nutrients feeding schedule and are well protected inside the Secret Jardin grow tent.

Die 1. Pflanze wurde am Tag 68. geerntet da viele Blätter aufgrund des zu nahen lampenabstand gelitten haben und ich mir unsicher war ob es klug ist sie noch länger zu ziehen. Gesagt getan die Pflanze wurde geerntet und kopfüber in den Schrank gehangen. Gute 7 Tage später habe ich sie weiter verarbeitet ( Getrimmt ) und die fertigen Blüten ab in die Gläser zum Aushärten gegeben. Smoke Bericht folgt sobald alles fertig ist.

7/7 2AM MONDAY Awesome week last week, AMINOS are working better then I cold have imagined!!!! I got a new AC Infinity Germination Propagation system, lights and all. Now I can have a mobile one for the kitchen and veggies..... I never thought I would become a gardener. now I understand how cells work, how it all works... and most information is outdated and inaccurate!!! I should be able to find a mix of human aminos I can use in these plants to overcome heat and salinity AND lower wattage because of increased photosynthesis from application of AMINOS with healthy diet of AN as a base!!!! 725am setting up the new AC Infiniti germination kit or Sith Lord propagation system 145pm BANANA PURPLE PUNCH....JUST SMOKED SOME CUT OFF BOTTOM BRANCH. WAS NOT HARSH..RIGHT OFF THE PLANT AND NOT HARSH. BONG, WATER FILTER BUT NOT TOO BAD. SHE SMELLS SO STRONG AND FRUITY AND FRESH, NOT BAD, SMALL SIZE MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IN TASET OR EFFECT. THE AMINOS MUST BE DOING SOMETHING. ALL STALKS ACROSS ALL PLANTS AND 3 DIFFERENT GROWS ARE MUCH STRONGER!!! SMALL 1 GALLON GROWS CAN MAKE STALKS THIN HOWEVER THIS WILL COMPENSATE FOR THAT WITH AMINO, M BLUE, SILICA, FULL STRENTH AN CON 4ML PER L. 7/8 1am THIN STALKS / PROBLEM/RESOLUTION - 1 gallon veg will lead to thinner stalks than tall plants can self support. RESOLUTION: REIFORCMENTS THROUGH AMINOS AND MBLUE. MB & AMINO /NUTRIENTS COMBINATION REACTS WITH NITROGEN DURING VEGETATIVE PERIOD GIVING EXTRA PLASTICITY & STRENGTH TO LEAF SURFACE. ALMOST RUBBER LIKE IN SHINE AND FEEL. STALKS / MAIN AND OFFSHOOTS ARE SIMILAR, THE VERY SMALL AMOUNTS OF SILICA DELIVERED WITH MB/AMINOS/NUTES. WORK TO MASSIVELY INCREASE STRENGTH!!!!! 4X AT LEAST WITH SAME THICKNESS!!!!!!👨‍🔬. AND LST WORKING TO ALSO INCREASE BRANCH THICKNESS AND FULLNESS xylem/phloem just awesome ....AROMAS ARE HEAVY AFTER FEEDINGS....I CANT BURN THE LEAF TIPS WITH THIS COMBO. I HAVE TO BUY ALL 18 AMINOS AND DO MILLIGRAM DOSES...I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT YET. YET!! copy and paste title so I can find this again!!!!!!! Amino Acid Transporters in Plants: Identification and Function .....https://www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/9/8/972..... FUNICULUS....FOR HOME SYSTEM THEY NEVER TALK ABOUT PRACTICALITY OR SMELL OR STORAGE....AMINOS AND ORGANICS STINK....FOLAR AMINO SPRAYS WOULD STINK UP THE TENT, THE HOUSE, I DONT SEE HOW A SPRAY WOULD BE A CLEAN SOLUTION. SO AMINOS WILL NOT BE SPRAYED IN A SMALL HOME ENVIRONMENT, TOO DIRTY. 230AM SOLUTION IS TO AMINO THE ROOTBALL. DIFF. CONCENTRATION OF N WILL BURN THO....HMMMM. NOT A PHD..ADVANCED HOBBY. DONT NEED ALL THIS...SO AMINOS ARE ROOT DELIVERED WITH MBLUE 1 DROP PER L. WHICH ONES AND WHEN NEXT. THIS SYSTEM IS FOR FUCKED UP PEOPLE TIRED AND NOT VERY MOBILE....SO EVERYTHING MUST BE PRESTENED EASY TO USE. 305AM....I SMOKED BBP LASNIGHT FULLY GROWN WITH MB AND I DIDNT WAKE UP ANY MORE RETARED THAN USUAL SO ITS GOOD. 545am """A critical review of citrulline malate supplementation and exercise performance...https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8571142/"""". 🍉"to achieve an intake of 10 g of L-citrulline, ingestion of around 3–5 kg of fresh watermelon (highest concentration of all foods) would be required and this is not only impractical for athletes (Davis et al. 2011), but would also not contain a sufficient dose of the malate component."😂 in 2L 💦: 2 drops Methylene Blue 5 percent, 5 drops Quick Sorb Amino Acid, 1 pill (contents not the gel) Nitric Boost, 0.5ml Rhino Silica, 8mL Con. Bloom A+B, 3ml Big Bud by AN. AND Bud Factor X 4ml.... that might be too much!!!! 10AM.....RESULTS ARE BLOWING MY FUCKING MIND.!!!!!! 2BBB AND 2 GOATS NO BURNS...HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?????? FULL NUTE LOAD!!!!!! I ADDED BUD FACTOR X, I SHOULD SEE BURNS AND CURLS...AND IM NOT!!!!!! TIP TRAIN THE ROOTBALL SYSTEM LIKE A SEPERATE LIFE FORM. WATER QUICKLY & LIGHTLY THE TOP TO ALART THE PLANT OF INCOMING WATER FROM BOTTOM, THIS PULLS WATER UP FIRST, THEN BOTTOM FEED TO KEEP FLOW UPWARD AND CONSISTENT, SLOW POURS WORK. 1020am goat by Royal Queen seeds might be one of the best plants I’ve ever seen in my life and all of the plants from fast buds to seedsman bubbles blueberry F4 all with the treatment I’m using are growing and expanding faster than I’ve ever seen stronger stocks than I’ve ever seen in no burns. I may have locked in the system that prevents burns and grows in very difficult environments I have not done any flushing, so there is an excessive nutrient and salt buildup in the fertilizer in the soil and we’re still having fantastic results.👍👍👍👍👍👍💥💥💥💥💥💥🚨🚨🚨 7/10 645 gorilla gas F1 has such incredibly strong and BRIGHT GREEN branches, even though they are still thin they are at least twice as strong as before when I was not using all of this I’m very happy that I can grow thin that’s fine and self supporting they have to have those two qualities they have to be self supporting if they’re gonna be thin she’s so strong and just so vibrant and bright. I’ve never seen this in the past until the amino and methylene blue.🚨👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍🚨🚨. - 8ml A 8ml B Con., 3ml Bud Ignitor (GOATS & BBBf4) Big Bud 3ml (GC Auto, G Gas F1, BBB f4) 10 drops Quick Sorb Amino Acid, Methylene Blue 1 drop, 1 Nitric Boost emptied capsule into water. 7/11 130AM MIKE TYSON 2.0 GOATS are still like nothing Ive seen!!!!!!!....I ALSO have G Gas F1 AND Bubbles Blueberry F4 clones as testers. I have poured FULL Strength everything and they are ROCK SOLID UNAFFECTED, UNBURNED!!!! 🚨🚨⚡️⚡️💎💎💎🚨🚨🚨⚡️⚡️💎💎💎🚨TOTAL SUCCESS!!!! NITRIC BOOST 1 pill per liter or 2 liter, 5 drops or more per L Quick Sorb by Biotics Research AMINOS, METHYLENE BLUE 5 percent 2 drops per L during veg, 1 drop during flower. .25ML (one quarter) PER L RHINO SILICA. Advanced Nutrients as a base. Bud Ignitor when appropriate pre flower time, then 1/2 strength BiG BUD at flower!!!! THAT IS THE SECRET FORMULA FOR GOD MODE!!!!! 🚨🚨⚡️⚡️💎💎💎🚨🚨🚨⚡️⚡️💎💎💎🚨 7/12 6am from 3 to 6 working on NEW formula. Using ATAMI Bloomtastic (smells so good) .5ml L. (No Bud Ignitor or Big Bud!!!) Con. A+B 4ml L. Rhino .25ml L. AND NITRIC BOOST 1 pill per 2 liter, 5 drops per L Quick Sorb by Biotics Research AMINOS, METHYLENE BLUE 5 percent 1 drops in 2L. 5.8-6 7/13 330am the Tammy experiment was phenomenal. They really love that. The only problem is it’s so incredibly strong even half a milliliter per liter I’m seeing a little bit of tip burn I have not flushed them out so there’s salts probably built up but it’s not really doing the damage it normally would. I’m using methylene blue but I’m using a generic brand. I don’t want to use the expensive ones from Alex Jones.💦💦

She will only get water x2 waterings. Cheesecake pictures tomorrow. I think I even may have, underwatered Cheese HAHAHAHA No way! Me ..... Underwater.... Thats a first! Now I have it marked. LOL 😬 J/s EM1 is kinda lol Icky. And the bottle almost exploded on me 😂 Good stuff. 12-7 Good ol plain water ph 6.2 Watered around 2.5 liters took it well. Roots are coming out the bottoms of both bags. 💪 Almost looks like worms 🤣 I must be doin ok, I haven't had them jump out before. 💪 And on both. Not the other 2 🤣 yet? The buds on 3x are tiny. They need top dressed, but i dont think thats it. May be a slow budder?? Idk, we shall see. But I do see signs of hunger. Top dress next water 💪 Removed all leafs pointing in. Or most at least. Very happy with progress. Still no signs of over water/feeding yet. 😁🤘 12-10 Top dress both 2 tbs buildaflower, 1 tbs craftblend, 1/4 cup poo. 12-11 Just growin tall.

* Cold temps early this week, lights 24/7 from day 31 to keep temps steadier (24-25c°). * GWK #2 leaves pointing down day 32-33 , cold soil and a little underwatered the next day. * Watering 700ml/pot with 6.5 ph, 19 c° temp tap water with, ~ Active vera (biobizz), EM microorganisms, co2 tablet. * Organic NPK to the others two ( Stomper #3, SODK day 33 ss, 28 day SODK. 25 gr/ pot. * Smells not something special yet, LST going good, we ll keep pushing it a few more days. ¤ 🌱Stomper #1 with aggresive LST starting day 14, not a good idea, small stretch so far, burn tips with no extra food maybe its light burn tip. ¤🌱 Stomper #2 starting LST week 3, more nods, bigger plant better performance for this style. ¤🌱 Stomper #3 the stressed one, no techniques here just a bit of defoliation.🤞 ▪️︎🌿GWK #1 starting LST day 14, good reaction, taller nods than stomper. ▪️︎ 🌿GWK #2 starting LST day 21,not a big difference with #1, great response,bit sensitive to cold temps ( 2 days to rehab). ☆ 🌴SODK with different style of leaves, more indica dominant, but lighter green colour, starting LST n defoliation day 21, probably will stay in tent alone more than a week.🤪 * Day 34 -> foliar spray with Acti-vera (biobizz) 2ml/l. * Not much stretch this week, maybe the cold temps at the beginning of the week or just the genetics, healthy plants till now, no defficients. 🔚 Last day of this week released the 4 of them (stomper #1,2 & GWK #1,2) from LST to get stretchy + second weeks 5 watering at 23c° with EMs and 0,5ml/l snake poison (boron + other minerals).1 🌱 Healthy leaves n buds progressinge except GWK #2 cause stress earlier this week. 💧1ltr each n 600ml for stomper #3. 1st watering with 700ml at day 32. 🍃Last update -----> Day 35 ✅

🌿 Week 3 – Vegetative Stage – Mango Kush + Lava Cake (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strains: Mango Kush & Lava Cake (Pheno 1 + Pheno 2) Pots: 11L Amnesia Fabric Pots Light: Future Off – Black Series 600 Tent Size: 8x8 (Shared Space) Climate Control: TrolMaster Ecosystem + Spider Farmer GGS Watering: Hand-watering for all plants (automated watering coming soon) CO₂: 632 ppm Room Temp: 27°C Humidity: 57.4% Airflow: Dual 6-inch exhaust systems + filtered intake Carbon Filters: TrolMaster AeroFan 6” + Spider Farmer 6” with GGS control ⸻ 🌱 Transplant Day – A Ritual of Roots This week marks a huge step: our girls have moved into their forever homes, 11L Amnesia fabric pots, and they’re already loving the extra space. The Mango Kush queens, along with Lava Cake Pheno 1 and Pheno 2 (only 4–5 days old, but already catching up), were hand-selected to move forward toward flowering. Their roots were strong, white, and vibrant, ready to stretch and expand. Fabric pots were chosen for a reason: Why Fabric Pots? • Air pruning: Roots don’t circle and strangle—when they hit the pot’s breathable edge, they stop and branch instead. • Breathability: Improves oxygen flow to the root zone. • Drainage: Prevents overwatering and keeps the medium healthier longer. • Mobility & structure: They hold shape while allowing movement, especially useful early in veg. These pots don’t just hold soil, they shape roots, which shape the entire plant. ⸻ 🌱 Soil Mix & Nutrient Support The super soil mix was created with care and intention, using select amendments from Aptus Holland: Transplant Soil Mix: • Super soil base • Aptus Mycor-Mix – Mycorrhizae to build root partnerships • Aptus Micro-Mix – Adds beneficial bacteria for microbial balance • Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – pH stabilization & nutrient interaction balance Feed Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml: Strengthens cell walls and enhances nutrient transport • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml: Structural support for fast vegetative growth • 💧 Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml: A complete, balanced base nutrient • 🌱 Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml: Roots, roots, and more roots Watering Stats: • pH: 5.83 • EC: 1.01 • Water temp: 18.5°C Each drop is measured with love, and the girls are responding with lush, deep green growth. ⸻ 🌬️ Airflow, Filtration, and Clean Breathing Air management is everything in a multi-strain tent, especially during veg. We’ve set up: • Two 6-inch extraction systems • TrolMaster AeroFan 6”, controlled through the full TrolMaster ecosystem • Spider Farmer 6”, on a GGS controller for dynamic response • Filtered intake to maintain positive pressure and pure airflow 🌫️ Why Carbon Filters So Early? While many growers wait until flowering, we use carbon filters now to ensure clean air, remove any potential VOCs, and keep the space fresh—especially important in a shared environment. It’s about starting with purity and keeping it that way. ⸻ 🧠 What This Week Is and Isn’t What it is: • A week of foundation setting: transplant, soil structure, environmental prep • A time of root expansion and big shifts in the grow’s energy • The moment our girls step into their long-term rhythm • An opportunity to fine-tune TrolMaster automation for watering, climate, airflow What it isn’t: • A week for high-stress or pruning • A time to push nutrients hard, everything is still about balance and observation ⸻ 🎥 What’s Next? Next week we dive into post-transplant development, what to expect, how to manage early stretch, and when to start preparing for training and shaping. 👉 Subscribe on YouTube so you don’t miss it, especially if you want to follow how two different Lava Cake phenos grow side-by-side with our queen Mango Kush. ⸻ With roots grounded, airflow singing, and the TrolMaster lights blinking like magic, DD (Dog Doctor) 🌱💚✨ 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Started some Fastbuds. Ban purp pun and gorilla cookies. Have grown some blue dream, smoothies and Forbiden runtz, like the brand. Some Seedsman i tried like Nor lights was good. Will have to try some other brands to experience some difference if any. Im about six month in and i have seemed to have taken more info in than i wanted but still gratifying. ✌️

Es gab in dieser Woche keine Probleme und alles ist nach Plan verlaufen. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit den Ergebnissen
