Week 12: Tangie Finish Line in sight Today, I checked Tangie’s trichomes and noticed that 20% have already turned amber. This signals that it’s time for a flush. I’m using pH-balanced water (pH 6) with an EC of just 0.092 ms/cm due to my extremely soft water. My goal is to stress Tangie a bit in these final days to boost trichome production. I plan to remove some fan leaves two days before harvest and let the soil dry out slightly. She has about 4-5 more days to go. The aroma has become incredibly strong, with a vibrant, fruity scent dominating the air. It’s amazing how much more potent this smell is compared to the pre-harvested buds, which are now in the curing process and beginning to release that delightful orange and citrus fragrance. I’m eager to compare the flavor, potency, and high between the early and late harvests. The finish line is definitely in sight and I'm happy that I could let her ripen entirely to she what she is capable of 😍 Update 17.08 (Day 82) Today I decided to finally harvest the rest of this lovely Tangie. The trichomes showed a good mix of amber and cloudy trichomes, and I don't want to risk letting her overripen. I opted to cut only the fan leaves again to ensure a slow and consistent drying process. So far, so good, my friends—everything good must come to an end. Check out my harvest report of my Tangie lady for details on the yield, strain characteristics, and, of course, the smoke report. What's left to say? I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of you for joining me on this incredible and educational journey ♥️ Reaching nearly 2,000 views on my first diary is something I never expected, and it’s all thanks to your support. A special shoutout to Fast Buds for launching this contest—it gave me the motivation to share my experience—and for the outstanding strains you’ve brought to life. You are the best, guys. 💪🏽

Taking it day by day. I think the power going out for the few days it did messed with her. Bucket is getting smelly and looks like the roots are getting root rot... but hopefully I can combat it. Maybe need to get a bigger airstone.. hopefully the one I ordered from Amazon actually shows up.. Ac Infinity tent and in-line fan will be in today! 😬Thanks for stopping by. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Day 49-56 (June 18th - 25th) (Day 51) Slurricanes and tuna are doing excellent despite their hail damaged leaves. I’m seeing good growth and decent dry downs. One of them looks like it’s been ravaged by pests but I still can’t find any evidence or signs of a pest. I’m suspecting caterpillars so I’m going to grab some BTK killer and also some all purpose insecticide sometime this week if I have time. The clones are all really lagging so they won’t be flipped until July 15th at least. I’m still not seeing normal growth on any of them yet. It’s still quite gnarled and twisted. (Day 52) The slurricane and tuna roots are starting to poke through the bottom of my pots. This is usually from underwatering, a thick soil or a hot root zone. I’m going to give everything except for the autos a good watering with some runoff. I am going to start incorporating 5mm sand into all of my soil mixes to help make the soil more loamy and give it some better drainage. I will also top dress every container and bed plant I have. (Day 53) I was at a local department store today and I was shocked to see pallets of Destiny dark matter soil selling for 60% off! I bought 10 bags for a hundred bucks. At any hydro store that would have costed me 250 at least. I might go grab more because it looks like no one is buying it for 60% off even. (Day 54) I’m going to be harvesting both of my indoor crops today and tomorrow or the next day I am going to be reusing the soil-coco blend for the slurricanes. I’m first going to till it, add a gallon of sea compost, a gallon of Destiny soil and a few cups of 5mm sand per container. I will use the excess for 5 gal pots. I will be amending with: 5 tablespoons of nature’s pride bloom 4 tablespoons of kelp meal 2 tablespoons of Gaia green AP 2 tablespoons of glacial rock dust 2 tablespoons of oyster shell flour 2 tablespoons of alfalfa meal 1 tablespoon of rock dust blend 1/4 teaspoon of langbeinite (Day 56) The autos are really making a comeback now. I was under the impression that I was working against the clock and they would start flowering after 3-5 weeks. I guess if they’re stunted from the cold they will delay flowering. I don’t see any pistils or signs of flowering yet so I don’t think they’ve officially started flowering yet I didn’t get a chance to do my transplant this week or pest control. I will get to it ASAP because my photos are drinking almost a liter a day

Week 7 of flower,room is a bit to cold but they are very close to finishing. 👍🏾

Come nella settimana precendente tutti nella norma credo, sto trovando qualche foglia con delle macchie marroncine al centro ma non ho ancora capito il problema, avevo i ventilatori al massimo e ho diminuito un po' la potenza visto che ho trovato delle voglie con un po' di twist

It's been a bit of a rocky week for all the plants, things popping up all over the shop but I'm putting it down to being a noob. Light distances/intensity issues and plenty of upcurling leaves from being a proper wally with my nutes. Royal Bluematic #1 - She's had a bad case of Light Burn and it's explained below. I've also noticed this one 'moults' the most and I have quite a handfull of dead/deficient leaves per watering where the other 2 plants in the wardrobe barely drop, but I am at a loss with her (other than changing light height and intensity), I've kept her on her nute schedule as I don't beleive nutes are to blame. She's had it hard from the beginning so it could be that....a bit of a bride of Frankenstein hahaha, she's rather stumpy and very bushy with the main cola being quite chunky, again like the Royal Jack my Royal Blue is airy and whispy pistil node sites but plenty of them...why so long to thicc? the other Royal Blue is coming on rather awesomely....hence more pictures of her...sorry #1. I also had to do an autopsy on a branch, I kept wondering why it was looking so buggered and it was due to it being bent right over at somepoint snapping the branch quite high up making it hard to notice, sliced it off and squeezed the end of the branch together, closing it up and keeping it tight. Royal Bluematic #2 - Well....I'm in lurrrve, she's coming on fine, my lil shorty, budding up with thickness and fat cola, plenty of nodes and very sticky and smelly....Really not a lot long left on her I think? Trichs are not so cloudy yet so maybe a couple more weeks. I have gone and really messed up, the last of her main fan leafs on the cola has crisped and curled upwards which I think was due to being moved to the middle of the grow box and suffered PAR intensity overdose!! I've now moved her back to the side and hope for the best...Not a lot else to say for this one, I'll let the pictures do the talking. If you can see on the pictures, the leaves that face the middle of the LED are bleached and weathered. I've hightened the light and gave the LED rig a jig and got some more efficiency out of it in terms of height and PAR intensity, I'm still needing to purchase a PAR meter but I have learn't that this 600w does kick out some and if there's a plant directly below it then that's some light blasting down on the poor plant. With my next grow I'm only dealing with 2 plants so the light share will be much better and make much better use of said PAR :) As for the feed I've notched Guanokalong Bloom up to 0.3ml but keeping CalMag and Rootbastic the same now throughout the grow. I'm keeping the pH at 6.3 as they seem to like it. I'm hoping this week we'll start to see fatter buds and better leaves. Today's album played to them was 'Leftfield - Rhythm & Stealth'

Auf Dünger habe ich verzichtet und die erste Pflanze wurde gespült. In ein bis zwei Wochen sollte dann auch endlich die Ernte sein. Habe jetzt nur festgestellt, das eine Pflanze gezwittert sein muss und ich vereinzelt ein paar Samen an der Royal Gorilla habe, was aber nicht weiter schlimm ist, da der Großteil der Blüten nicht befruchtet wurde und ich so noch ein paar Samen zum experimentieren habe 😬 Ansonsten heißt es beobachten und abwarten, auch wenn der Duft schon sehr verführerisch ist...🤤

Both plants make me supper happy!!

The pure Ice cream clone has been growing nicely and doing her thing. I did move her back to the SE3000 tent. She is steady growing, and likely needs a bigger potter very soon. Everything has been going great. Plus the other clone finally started to grow. It is showing deformities, but it is growing now.

Week 14 from seed, and these Lemon Cherry Gelato girls really turned into something special. Not monsters in height, but absolutely massive in presence, density, structure, and expression. The kind of plants that surprise you when you finally grab the branches in your hands and realize how much weight and resin they actually built under a 12/12-from-seed run. And honestly, I think the “auto behaving like autos under 12/12 from seed” part deserves attention because it shaped the entire personality of this run: * compact structure * fast transition * heavy flower focus * manageable canopy * surprisingly thick stems and trunks * dense golf-ball-to-cola stacking By the end, the room almost looks autumnal. Deep yellows, oranges, fading greens, and swollen frosty flowers everywhere. That late-flower fade came in fast, but beautifully — and this is important to explain clearly because newer growers often panic when they see this. This wasn’t a deficiency disaster. This was the plant reaching the end of its natural cycle. As flowering progresses, especially late flower, the plant starts mobilizing stored nutrients from the leaves into the flowers. Nitrogen gets depleted first, chlorophyll breaks down, greens disappear, and the underlying pigments begin showing: * yellows * golds * oranges * reds/purples depending on genetics And because feeding had already been reduced heavily while the plants kept drinking aggressively, the fade accelerated naturally. The girls were essentially finishing themselves. You can actually SEE the energy redistribution in the photos: * leaves fading while buds stay swollen * pistils maturing * resin production peaking * calyxes stacking harder * stems thickening under weight And speaking of weight… those broken branches tell the story by themselves. No need to exaggerate anything there. When branches literally split under flower mass, especially in a relatively compact plant, you know the density became real. That stem split photo is beautiful because it captures the moment where biology and gravity start negotiating with each other. The trunk shots are wild too. Putting the Clipper lighter next to the base was honestly a perfect scale reference. You can immediately understand: “Okay… these girls drank for a reason.” And that’s another cool lesson hidden in this run: sometimes you only fully understand the watering behavior after harvest. Once the skeleton is exposed, the entire hydraulic system suddenly makes sense. Now onto harvest and drying. You made the right call not drying the entire plant whole in this case. These girls were dense. Breaking them into branches gives: * safer airflow * more even drying * lower mold risk * easier environmental control Especially with chunky late-flower flowers like these. The drying target sounds excellent too: * roughly 18–20°C * around 60% RH after the initial moisture release * gentle airflow, never directly blasting flowers And lowering humidity slightly during the first 24–48h to help the surface moisture escape before stabilizing is a very sensible move with dense material like this. Now the charas section is honestly one of the most beautiful parts of the update because it connects modern indoor cultivation to something ancient and human. Just handling fresh branches gave enough live resin to coat the fingers — technically charas, because it comes from fresh living plant material. That’s different from classic “finger hash” made during dry trimming. The distinction is subtle but important: * Charas = resin collected from fresh/live cannabis * Finger hash = resin collected while handling dried/cured material And charas has deep cultural and spiritual roots, especially in India and Nepal. For centuries, people in regions like the Parvati Valley and Himalayan foothills have hand-rubbed living cannabis plants to collect resin. Traditional makers — including sadhus and local hash makers — slowly work the flowers between the palms until thick dark resin accumulates on the skin, later rolled into temple balls or cream charas. Malana Cream became one of the most famous examples of this style: * handmade * live plant resin * mountain-grown cannabis * deeply tied to local culture and geography And yes, Lord Shiva is strongly connected to cannabis traditions in Hindu culture. Chillums, charas, bhang preparations, and ritual use all became intertwined historically with spirituality, celebration, meditation, and ascetic traditions. The bhang lassi mention is also a nice touch because many people outside India don’t realize cannabis has existed there culturally for centuries in forms beyond smoking alone. It adds depth to the update without glorifying anything artificially — more like acknowledging the historical relationship humans have had with this plant. Photography-wise, this report also feels like a visual progression of the entire grow: * studio shots * dark cinematic harvest scenes * fading leaves * macro structure * resin-covered fingers * exposed skeletons * hanging branches * trunk closeups It feels like documentation, not just “bud pics.” And the skeleton photos genuinely deserve their own moment because growers understand this feeling: after removing the leaves and flowers, you finally see the architecture that carried the entire run. Pure timber everywhere. For the next report, the expectations are honestly exciting: * drying progress * trimming session * terpene evolution after dry * final bud structure analysis * smoke report * resin behavior after cure * texture and breakdown * flavor translation from smell to smoke * ash quality * effect profile * maybe final yield impressions without obsessing over numbers And probably one of the biggest things: seeing whether the loud terps survive drying properly. Because right now, these girls ARE LOUD. And finally, yeah — thank everyone. The genetics. The nutrients. The LEDs. The environment. The gear. The platform. The old followers. The silent followers. The new people arriving now. The skeptics. The supporters. The people learning quietly in the background. A grow diary becomes more than a plant journal after enough weeks. It turns into a shared timeline people follow together. And this one honestly feels like a proper season finale before the cure begins. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Vamos rumbo a la cuarta semana ya Ya está empezando a tener un olor débil

Wieder eine Woche ist rum und den Pflanzen geht es gut. Ich wundere mich nur dass GG#4 erst jetzt nach Tag 63 in die Blütephase übergeht. Sie ist wirklich sehr buschig und groß, während Runtz F1 nur halb so groß ist aber schon sehr weit vorangeschritten. Einen so starken Unterschied hätte ich nicht erwartet.

16.2 inches/week Usual summer week here in the south, every day above 86 ° F (max 100 ° F) Pineapple is beast, can tolerate everything and is grown almost 2 inches per day drinking 2 gallons per day of spring water showing only few signs of heat stress. She's in full stretch and had fill every spaces with her thick branches . I fed her half the recommended dose of Biobizz Grow 'cause is too hot and don't want to burn her. I think we are 10-14 days before flowering. I covered her with a PVC net in order to give her a little shield from the sun and give me more privacy ;-)

Welcome Back liebe Community! 💚 Heute war Erntezeit des Monsters! Die Sunset Monkey von Good Times Genetix liefert ein super Growerlebniss. Pflegeleicht, allerdings muss man den Stretch berücksichtigen! Sonst liefert die Pflanze top Ergebnisse! Es ist definitiv ein starker Sativa Einschlag zu verzeichnen. Denn die Pflanze hätte auch noch 1 bis 2 Wochen an zusätzlicher Zeit stehen bleiben können. Der Trichomcheck war zwar OK, allerdings hätten die Pistolen noch weiter ihre Aorikot Form ausbauen können. Da ich aber einfach noch andere Grows im Background hab und zudem die Ferienzeit vor der Tür steht, war es Zeit. Dennoch generell ist eher eine Blütezeit von 12 bis 13 Wochen (85 bis 90 Tagen) eher die Regel. Dennoch sehr gelungen und unfassbar Aroma reich! Grüne Grüße 💚

Well all caught 🆙 now this is the end of week 8 post and wow the frost is not coming in had some more heat issues decided to go up on the lamp percent from 80-85 but the heat load was to high and if I leave the outside air to cool down at night would drop too low in the tent. Started to regulate it a lot better now tho I have taco leafs but still fattening up every week! Breeder recommend 70 days almost there will be keeping close eye on the tricos when it’s time to chop.

This week the grow 40x40x130 and A LED quantum board 150W arrived. About the plant: The plant showed a deficiency as we can see in photo 1. With that I applied an NPK 10-10-10 watering and we can see the development in photos 2, 3 and 4.

By the looks of the trichomes this girl is ready I will let it go one more week because the weather forecast seems to be sunny but if anything changes to Everyday rain I would chopper her down to protect the flower. Thank you for reading and I will continue to update have a happy grow.

The girls got their mid flower feeding gave each box about a half cup of Gia green bloom and a few tablespoons of terp, tea bloom, as well as 3 cups of build a flower top dress watered in with recharge and a little bit of Neptunes harvest. The girls are starting to throw some sense getting some fruity terps could just be the runts layer cake I have in the back she’s so strong but the girls are growing. I’m gonna do a tea tomorrow and then sit back and watch these girls stack.
