Week 22 of our painful result on the mothers. Reveg. Is full on and the plants are all trying desperately to figure out how to flower again. A couple days ago I was resolved to the fact that this cycle of mothers was not going to be anywhere near our acceptable standards for a high quality bud harvest. We lamented and cried a little…. Then we got ridiculously high to numb the pain…. And then I had a brilliant thought! The whole purpose has been to pollinate clones this whole time. Now that our stable of clones are well into rooting and reveg. We can simply use the mothers for breeding instead and salvage a harvest of high quality buds with the clones! It’s not an ideal situation and will result in less smokable buds but that said (and as per the outdoor photos), quantity won’t be a problem this year as usual😉. I figure a week or two to see what happens with em and we’ll commence the sperm spray😎. We’ve also taken some additional steps and commenced with impregnating the Spliff strawberry on a couple of select branches. This plant is proving a beauty as expected - even despite a little fasciation she’s a monster🤩🤩. Method - we placed some pollen into a brown paper bag (both some SOG in one and some 707 in another. - we marked 2 branches with zip ties to keep track of which pollen is where. - we wrapped the branches in each bag and twisty tied it closed to the stem base for about 12 hours. - after remove the bags and to prevent further pollination on the rest of the plant we sprayed down the pollinated branches and then the entire plant with a light mist of water. When ur outdoors this isn’t perfect science and there will be some additional seed that pops out elsewhere. Regardless, it’s a guarantee the 707 is viable but I’m none too sure about the Skywalker stuff. It may have been subjected to moisture while in storage and could be inert at this point. No telln for a few weeks🤞. The dutchy system, despite significant time to set up has been better than expected - all the plants are happy, added a Skywalker clone to the mix for flowering as well. They seem to be taking to the Druid nutes just fine. Great system and she’s pretty much on cruise control right now👌. All told - the pollen chuck is not yet a complete failure. We’re definitely gonna have some cross beans - they only question that remains is how many different strains. Thanks again for hanging with the longest grow ever👍👊. Background/Repetitive Nonsense These plants will be the two mothers this growing season that will be utilized for stage 2 of the pollen chucking project. We’ll be taking clones and stressing the genetics for some fem. pollen using colloidal silver. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with landrace genetics, we’re effectively skipping initial hybrid crossing and stabilization, going straight to the polyhybrid mix. I call it the shotgun approach to selective, unvetted and amateur breeding on a micro scale😉. These 2 parent strains will form the basis for 8-10 different F1 polyhybrid combinations and a further S1 back cross of each of the mothers. Not only should we be able to preserve the genetics for both mothers in feminized form but we’ll also be running an entire family of new hybrids after seeding out clones from each on the initial lineup of this summers photoperiods. Method is pretty simple here; once we’ve got our pollen off the two mothers we’ll be clipp’n clones on 4 select strains that have proven results from various respected breeders. We’ll be using those for pollination purposes in what is expected to be a 10 plant recirculating Dutch bucket hydro system. ***Update*** The feminization process didn’t take at all with the strawberry or the Skywalker so it’ll be reg. Seed crosses with only Skywalker and some other 707 Headband that we have in the vault. ********* Strain details: Parent strains for self pollination - Skywalker Kush by Reserva Privada Classic kush effects and earthy aroma. The strong kush element of this cultivar will compliment any cross. - Spliffs Strawberry by Spliff Seeds Incredible mix of flavourful terpenes and hard hitting high THC. She’s got some Herer as well as some Diesel in ‘er so an obvious choice for any cross as well. ***UPDATE*** The strawberry had to come out of this breeding run to wait for a better mother that hasn’t been attacked by aphids. It’s been a tough battle this season and we’ve had to make a couple of heartbreaking sacrifices already. Parent Strains for cross pollination ***UPDATE*** We added another 2 strains to the mix just in case we need to spot swap for some more variety. - Ghost Train by AMS Seeds A cross of Alien OG x Ghost Train Haze. Never tried the strain but I’ve heard only good things. This one might be worth mixing with the Strawberry so we’ll see how it goes. ***UPDATE*** Sadly - the ghost train turned out to be an auto so cloning her out as part of the breeding project is a no-go. Really disappointed about this but at least we still have a ready backup strain on the lost coast og to take her place. - Boogie Nights by AMS Seeds A cross of Kalijah, aka afghani/skunk/diesel/blue heaven X Juanita, aka NYC Diesel/Reina Madre). No idea here so naturally I’m interested😉. ************** - Lost Coast OG by Emerald Triangle Pakistani Kush x Lemon Thai x Chemdawg #4. Essentially a classic, west coast combo of landrace kush genetics that Cali is famous for, mixed with hard hitting Chemdawg #4. ***UPDATE*** The Lost Coast is a winner of a plant. Still outdoors and in veg. Looks like it’s recovered from the aphid attack. Might consider trying to take another cut of this and just rooting it in a pot for pollination. At this point, what the hell and if we could salvage anything it would be a positive. ***** - Spliffs Blueberry by Spliff Seeds (Chocolate Thai x Afghani #1 x Highland Oaxaca) x Northern Lighhts Special. Only 1 bean of this left and the whole purpose is to blend the best of Spliffs Berry strains as a tribute. Awesome breeder and they’ve been very kind to us over the years. - Northern Light by Royal Queen Seeds NL means nuff said. A combo of 11 unknown strains believed to originate from the west coast of North America. This cultivar is a great take on these classic genetics and a perfect compliment to just about any cross. A biased fave of ours.👍 - White Widow by Seedsman Brazilian Sativa x South Indian Indica. This classic strain has been unluckily elusive for us the last couple years. We know the quality of seedsmans version of this cultivar having grown it in the past. Sadly, a very strong performer that never made it to harvest due to an uncontrollable aphid infestation. And we’re only at step 1.... still gonna need an assist with pheno hunting all of the crosses so if anyone’s interested in running the testers (when we finally get to that point) just let me know👍😎. Gonna be a Dope ass summer project and can’t wait to see it in full swing🤟. Thanks for stopp’n in y’all👊

Welcome to the next week of great adventure with young gorillas. The beginning of the week I started with a small flush with tap water at pH 6.3. I intend to change the 150W HPS lamp to brand new 250w plantstar this week. In next few days gonna use pk 13/14 One love for everyone 🌱🐒🌱🐒🌱🐒 P.S: mobile application is terrible, it is very difficult to update something, it always gets stuck during the upload of photo, no upload percentage. Already twice made me mess up the whole week EDIT: Additional HPS mounted 250w plantastar. Unfortunately, after purchasing the wattmeter, I discovered that my LED consumes only 220w of guaranteed 350w. I'm thinking about giving it back for a guarantee. The current energy consumption of the entire project is 810w / h

Hey now, this week went pretty good! The Acid Dough from Ripper Seeds is almost done stretching, she didn't get as tall as I hoped but that was mostly my fault for training her too long. I have noticed no matter how long I train the stems outward, they always grow back up towards the middle in the end, so I am starting to think I am wasting height of colas by training a few days or a week too long. Anyways, other than that I did some light defoliation and that is about all. Super excited to see what my first run of Ripper Seeds will produce! I also added a video of a press I did earlier today of the Jack 47 by Sweet Seeds. I hope you enjoy the video, be safe and Blaze On!!!

💚✌️

Day 29-02/09/22 trying to get back on track with all these diaries after being Sick and product earth festival!!! These 3 purple punch look good got some Burnt tips but nothing major think it’s more the light than nuts burn as light was closer to these 3 plants because they got taller than the others

Soaked the seeds in water with hydrogen peroxide 10 drops per 200 ml. GHS gave root first both varieties, CG waited 3 days and decided to add a second seed, after 24 hours both gave root :) Solucion - local Argentinian manufacturer. Coconut substrate - Plagron. Water : 110 ppm + 0.5 (HV+HM+HM)=350 ppm. Wanted to twist the sprout with a Lemon Orange spiral because it stretched out, but broke it in half :( 26.06 - 2 Marshmallow and Milky Dreams. P.S. the biggest one is Milky Dreams. Puse las semillas en remojo en agua con peróxido de hidrógeno 10 gotas por 200 ml. GHS dio raíz primero ambas variedades, CG esperó 3 días y decidió añadir una segunda semilla, después de 24 horas ambos dieron raíz :). Solucion - productor local argentino. Sustrato de coco - Plagron. Agua : 110 ppm + 0,5 (HV+HM+HM)=350 ppm. Quise retorcer el brote con una espiral de Naranja Limón porque se estiraba, pero lo rompí por la mitad :( 2 Marshmallow y Milky Dreams. PD: el más grande es Milky Dreams. Замачивал семена в воде с перекисью водорода 10 капель на 200 мл. GHS дал корень первым оба сорта, CG ждал 3 дня и решил добавить вторую семечку, через сутки оба дали корень :) Solucion - местный Аргентинский производитель. Кокосовый субстрат - Plagron. Вода : 110 ppm + 0.5 ( HV+HM+HM)=350 ppm Хотел скрутить росток спиралью Лемон Оранж, потому что он вытянулся, но сломал его пополам :( 2 Marshmallow и Milky Dreams P.S. самый большой это Milky Dreams

Video 2: 7 days (36~42) TimeLapse, 1 image each 60 secs @ 30 fps (I think there's a missing day in the middle, GoPro things...) Video 3: Prune Cam, working on main money maker Photo 4: Nutrients Used this Week -----WEEK SUMMARY----- I must apologize myself for the lack of pictures this week. I raised a bit the amount of water this week, anyway as you can see at the end of the timelapse video the babies are drinking much more now, and I'm not using enough water. Starting from the next week i will water in shorter periods alternating nutrients and additives. I finally decided to switch to flowering the first day of the next week, i want to see what size of colas can they generate from this size of plant. I don't wan't to try to create monsters at time, and i think my pots are small for too big plants i think. With this growing i'm just introducing myself to growing techniques and to indoor photoperiod strains. The day 1 i switched the lights to flowering mode, and as i said the day 5 (1rst 7th week day) i will switch to 12/12. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 29/03/19 - 1.000 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.9 E.C. PH5.8 02/04/19 - 500 ml. Just water @ PH6 *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- Video 1: TimeLapse, exactamente el mismo vídeo que el 2 pero acelerado al 206% para ajustarlo a 1 minuto para Instagram. Video 2: 7 días (36~42) TimeLapse, 1 image each 60 secs @ 30 fps (Creo que falta un día entre medias, cosas de GoPro) Video 3: Cámara de podado, trabajando en la Gorila principal Photo 4: Nutrientes usados esta semana -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Tengo que disculparme por la falta de imágenes esta semana, y es que no siempre uno dispone de todo el tiempo que desearía. A pesar de haber incrementado un pelín la cantidad de agua con respecto a la semana anterior, en el final del video timelapse se hace evidente como ya empiezan a beber bastante más agua y lo que les vengo echando ya no es suficiente, a partir de la semana que viene regaré cada menos días alternando nutrientes y aditivos. He decidido que esta va a ser la última semana de crecimiento, quiero ver que tal se forman la colas con este tamaño de planta, hay que tener en cuenta que las tengo en tiestos pequeños/medios y tampoco es mi intención crear monstruos por el momento. Con este cultivo simplemente me estoy introduciendo a las técnicas de cultivo y al cultivo de fotodependienes en interior. Con respecto a la luz, el día 1 he cambiado el modo de la luminaria a floración, y el día 5 (primer día de la semana 7) voy a hacer el cambio a 12/12. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 29/03/19 - 1.000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0.9 E.C.

Did stem splitting yesterday and you can see the yellow leaves every where now.. couples of day till harvest

Hello growmies! Welcome to week seven of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! I have just completed the final defoliation for the three least advanced (and largest) girls. I have also rearranged the tent again to try to maximize the space available and light usage. I have not fertigated for 5 days after the last fertigation was a flush without coco base. I am struggling with humidity at the moment so I have been trying to let the plants go more dry than usual. Daily Updates ### Week 7 Day 2 02:30 7/8 Heavily defoliated plants 1, 5 & 6 and removed some of the lower branches. Rearranged tent then photographed & measured: Plant 1 is now almost unbelievably 2nd tallest at "only" 141cm in height! Her stretch has just about ended. Plant 2 has stopped stretching at 111cm and is 2nd most advanced into flower. Plant 3 has stopped stretching at 95cm and is most advanced into flower. Plant 4 has stopped stretching at 100cm and is 3rd most advanced into flower. Plant 5 has gained 6cm this week and may add few more but she is pretty close to done stretching at 119cm. Plant 6 has gained 22cm this week and isn't quite finished. She is now the tallest plant in the series at 142cm. ### Week 7 Day 2 07:00 7/8 Fertigated 1.6l each ### Week 7 Day 4 02:00 9/8 Fertigated 1.6l each reduced coco a/b to 2m/l each. Spent a bit more time photographing and videoing to try and capture the changes and the developmental differences. These 140cm+ plants are going to STACK. I am bracing myself for a lot of trimming and a monster harvest. 🙏 The current order of maturity and likely order of harvest is 3 2 4 1 5 6. I think the first and last plants will be at least a week apart in harvest, perhaps 2 or 3. ### Week 7 Day 6 23:00 11/8 Fertigated 1.6l each The smell in the tent is there now, really not that strong but there are 6 plants motoring through flower here now so it's not insignificant either. Plant 3 is absolutely stacking now, she's more or less run out of space around her cola and is now growing some foxtail like structures, exciting! Plant 6 the least mature is 2-3 weeks behind plant 3, but her stretch has finally stopped at 144cm. Took wide angle in tent photos today. All of the girls are drinking a lot now, but especially plant 1 who is really thirsty. --- Thanks for reading growmies! 👊 ========== Tent: 120cm x 120cm x 180cm Light: 600w HID Elite Dual Spectrum HPS + Angel Wing Reflector Air: 5" duct fan system with carbon filter ~300 m3/hour + RAM 9" floor fan + 4" intake fan Pots: Air Pruner Fabric Pots 30l - UGro XL Coco + horticultural grade perlite (~20%) Seeds supplied by Royal Queen Seeds https://www.royalqueenseeds.com Nutrients supplied by Shogun Fertilisers https://www.shogunfertilisers.com/en ==========

5th week of Flowering is over. Still observing some darkening on the tips of the Yellow Orange. On the other hand, the plant seems still very healthy and it’s growing frosty flowers. Its smell is dominating the tent with a citrus scent. It is smelling more citrus than a real lemon… Target VPD is still set to 1,5 with 23 Celcius Target Temp.

San Fernando Vally tames the SubLIMEinaL!! So exciting!!

todo muy bien! esperando paciente el desarrollo de los cogollos, conociendo y viendo los puntos de maduracion asi como la fertilizacion ajustando a su maximo que creemos posible para incentivar que los cogollos engorden, ahora en adelante les hare segumiento de la grande principalmente, que es la que cumple con la edad del diario, ya que las otras como se explico en un principio venian recien cultivadas por eso tienen un par de semanas de retraso , tambien hay una hermafrodita, que al detectar como comentamos semanas anteriores aplicamos al tecnica vista de un cultivador mexicano, consistia en romper los brotes de machos las pelotas con el fin de que no vuelvan a salir, dejando solo los pelos estigmas de las hermbras, si bien el cogollo queda maltratado, al parecer se detiene el crecimiento, asi que estamos viendo como rinde ese experimento.

Week 4 Veg Report - TrolMaster Chronicles 🌱 What a week it’s been in the garden! We finally transplanted the Papaya Zoap into its final Autopot, and let me tell you, this plant is something special. Though her roots weren’t quite where I wanted them to be yet, the move was needed to help her catch up with the rest of the crew. She’s already looking fantastic in her new home, and I have no doubt she’s about to explode with growth in the coming days. Sometimes, you just have to trust the process, and I’m feeling like this is one of those moments. It’s almost as if the room itself is taking on a life of its own. 🌿 In fact, I’m starting to believe that what we’re building here is something greater than ourselves—there’s this energy in the room, a feeling of everything coming together perfectly. I can’t wait to see how this journey unfolds! Dialing in the VPD with TrolMaster’s Tech Now, let’s talk VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) and how I’ve been keeping everything in check with the Tend-X and the incredible (DSH-2U) Humidity Station. VPD is crucial to plant health—it’s all about finding that perfect balance between humidity and temperature to optimize transpiration and nutrient uptake. The (DSH-2U) Humidity Station, connected directly to my humidifier, has been an absolute game-changer in this regard. With its real-time data and automation, it allows me to monitor and adjust the RH with pinpoint accuracy. Simple yet brilliant, the (DSH-2U) Humidity Station is keeping my room at the sweet spot I need. Whether I’m tweaking the settings from my phone while I’m out and about or just fine-tuning things while relaxing at home, this machine does it all. It’s like having an extra pair of hands in the grow room—and when you’re managing something as complex as VPD, that’s invaluable! And yes, the TM+ Pro App—let’s not forget how awesome it is. I’m adjusting my grow room from the couch, the car, or even the bathroom 😜. I’ve said it before, but this app is making growing easier than ever. Feeding the Girls: The Perfect Blend 🌱 We’ve upped the game by adding CaMg-Boost at 0.25 ml/L to the feeding schedule. Along with the 1 ml/L of the all-in-one liquid, this brings the TDS up to 320 ppm, with a pH of 5.99 and solution temperature of 24.8°C. In the soil, readings are around 415 ppm, with temperatures hovering around 25°C The plants are absolutely thriving, and I can already see the difference this new feed is making. I can’t help but have a bit of fun with this process—it feels like I’m spoiling them with the best of the best. And they’re rewarding me with beautiful growth and vibrant green color. You know how it is, with the right care and attention, these plants are truly becoming a masterpiece in the making. 🌱 Shoutouts 💚 Big shoutout to TrolMaster and ThinkGrow LED for the phenomenal gear that’s making this grow smoother than ever. Also, massive thanks to Aptus Holland for their top-notch nutrition, and of course, to the community here on GrowDiaries—you guys keep the energy alive! 🌱 Last but definitely not least, shoutout to all the seed banks supporting this journey. You’ve been a huge part of this process, and I couldn’t do it without you! Remember, for exclusive behind-the-scenes content and updates in real time, head over to my Instagram and YouTube channels @DogDoctorOfficial. We’ve got tons of epic content lined up, and you won’t want to miss it! P.S. Let’s talk about the new Model One LED Bars—these beauties are not only powerful but super efficient. I’ve been able to dim them down, save on electricity costs, and still maintain an incredible PAR and spectrum. It’s all about fine-tuning the balance of power and performance, and these lights make it easy to get the best results while being eco-friendly. Whether you’re running them full throttle or dialing it back, you’re still getting optimal growth conditions for your plants. That’s the kind of innovation that takes your grow to the next level. 💡 Growers Love to all 🌿💚

4/14/25 This is a continuation of my other prom night diary. One of the phenos is expressing autoflower traits and is now in flower. This one i plan to grow out a little bit longer so i decided to make a separate diary so there is less confusion.

No food just Water (Grow Dots) Day 22 Transplant to 3gal pots Day 23 start of LS

2cm vertical growth this week.

ladies are doing fabulous!! growing incredibly fast. loving the cob light. ww/bb you can literally watch grow every day. the white widow didn't like that I took a few fan leaves I took off, seemed to make her grow a tad slower. the ww/bb with the 3 axillary buds grew out perfect and the bottom node grew just right to get even, and make a nice flat canopy. same with the king tut. on crazy anomaly was one branch on the ww/bb has 5 auxiliary buds! never seen or heard that before. trying to decide If i should top there too. check out the video to see it better thanks for following any tips please lmk!!

Piego solo le due prendisole. Tutto 👌

Fast Buds Gorilla Cookies Auto Front Right I’ve been taking some leaves to help expose the tops and there’s lots of them. It’s starting to get some purple in the center of the buds. The shower is full and I think all of the plants would be better if I had more room. Oh well, this is a learning experience for me. Next time I’ll probably only use the shower for 2 plants.

She was the smallest of the 4 but weighed in at 2nd place. All in all I would grow again. Great weed. 9/10 from me
