Commencing Week 7: day 43 on January 12th Today I left the dirty girls (I call them that because they are in soil 😋) out of the tent for their first time in their lives to hang out with some new girlfriends (my photoperiod s). They seem very happy to be hanging out with them 👍👍 The other day I took one of my personal photoperiod Crosses and pollinated one of the bottom flowers of the bloody skunk, hopefully seeds will be coming soon :-) Today I started thinking about how much longer they have left and it seems the bloody skunk is nearing the finish Line already. In the beginning of this diary I wanted to achieve the goal of getting some autoflower seeds by taking one of the syrup strains and cross breeding it but none of my syrups strains made it from seed for some reason. So now I'm thinking about taking the top bud off of bloody skunk in the next week or two and letting the rest of the plant go through rodelization so I may still achieve that goal. We shall see. Thanks for the great genetics everyone attention and support. Won't be long now till I actually get to do a harvest report 😎👍

🌸 Lava Cake – Week 7 Flower (Harvest Special) 🌸 This week marks a major milestone in the Lava Cake journey: we harvested phenotype two, who had been affected by bud rot. Bud rot may have tried to take the best from us, but we didn’t allow it. Every infected part was carefully removed, and the remaining healthy plant was harvested and is now drying as a whole plant under controlled conditions. ⸻ 🙏 Apologies & Context We know this is technically a flower week update, but due to the new updates on Grow Diaries and the desire to share photos, videos, and the story of this harvest so we’re combining the harvest with the flower week report. We apologize for any confusion — this is the only way to fully document and expose all that’s happening, and to make sure the lessons, successes, and challenges are visible for everyone following along. The next report will be the official “Harvest Report”, covering: • Drying & trimming process • Curing updates • Smoke review ⸻ 🌿 Quick Recap – From Seed to Here • Germination: Smooth in the Cannakan with Aptus Regulator & Start Booster, 3 seeds, 2 kept. • Vegetative Stage: Robust growth under Black Series 600 LED and later ThinkGrow & Lumatek LEDs. Root development and early structure supported with Aptus super soil and micro/macro mixes. • Transplant: Into 11L fabric pots, carefully monitored environment, roots thriving. • Early Flower: Weeks 1–4 brought thick white hairs, dense colas, and heavy branching. Nutrient support included Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost, Plagron boosters, and All-in-One Liquid. • Mid Flower & Challenges: Week 5–6 showed signs of bud rot. Lava Cake #2 needed early harvest; Lava Cake #1 continues to swell and thrive. Through all of this, the Lava Cakes proved their resilience and quality, showing that even under stress, their genetics shine beautifully. ⸻ 🌱 Week 7 – Harvest Details • Bud Rot Management: All infected material removed and disposed of immediately. • Harvest Technique: Whole plant harvested, inspected, and prepared for controlled drying. • Drying: Slow, careful drying in a separate, stable environment to preserve aroma, terpenes, and cannabinoids while minimizing risk. Even though bud rot forced an early cut, the flowers are still dense, fragrant, and high quality. Their resilience and beauty deserve celebration. ⸻ 🔬 Educational Notes • Bud rot prevention & learning: This week reinforces how crucial airflow, humidity management, and daily inspection are during dense flower stages. • Whole-plant drying: Allows moisture to equalize gradually between stems and buds, preserving terpenes and flavonoids while keeping the product safe. • Environmental awareness: Temperature spikes, stagnant airflow, or dense canopy zones can quickly create pockets for mold — constant monitoring is essential. ⸻ 🌟 Closing Thoughts Week 7 is about resilience, lessons, and triumph over challenges. The Lava Cakes showed their strength even under pressure but needed to be harvested early, so we did it, no fears this is the only way and the way to save the rest of the closet sharing girls We want to celebrate the journey, from seed to harvest, and thank everyone following along for learning and growing with us. The next report will focus entirely on drying, trimming, and tasting — the final step where we get to enjoy the fruits of all the care, attention, and love put into these girls. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

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. – Heavy Fruits & Harvest Decision One of the key reasons we decided to harvest Lava Cake #1 this week was how heavy the colas had become. The flowers were so dense and weighty that some branches were starting to bend, snap, and strain under the load. While this is a testament to the plant’s vigor and genetics, it also increased the risk of further bud rot and damage, making an early, careful harvest the safest and most sensible choice. Even under pressure, these girls delivered impressive structure, weight, and resin coverage, proving their strength and quality until the very last moment. Thank you all for being here with me, see you all on the next report, Growers Love to All and never stop believing 🙏🙏🙏

Vamos familia, actualizamos la tercera semana de floración de estas Runtz de MSNL. La temperatura que estuvo entre los 24-26 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos. En cuanto a las plantas las veo verde sano, estiraron bien y ensancharon bastante también. Se nota que los nutrientes de la marca Agrobeta cubre todas las necesidades de cada ejemplar. Las flores empezaron a formarse, por el momento todo correcto, os dejé también alguna novedad y un cambio en la sala, agradecer al equipo de Mars hydro por el nuevo TSW2000. (los últimos 5 años cultive solo con los leds de esta marca). - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

My gorilla cookies plant from fastbuds is a really sturdy plant and it grew so much so fast it’s only my 3rd auto so I’m still getting down nutrients for autos they seem to use more than photos. The plant smells really strong like skunk. The buds are starting to fatten up and get tricombs. This plant has tons of potential for someone that knows what’s their doing with autos. You could really get it to stack a bunch if you did it right

Welcome growfessors to another episode of growfessor theatre, 4x4 edition! Flush time, just water for LSD, Green Crack and Mandarin dreams!! Do-si-dos gets another week of feed before flush. I'm very impressed with the bud sizes, trichomes and smell of each plant, mandarin dreams is especially ooozing with resin, it's almost like liquid soap touching your skin. The Mars-Hydro TSW2000 light has been killing it! This light delivers way more than expected! Thanks for stopping by growfessors, tune in next time 👽🌳💚

This Week i let them just continue to grow out of the LST. Last Day of the Week i cut down all the lower branches and defuliated the leaves. First Week of Flower and the Plant shows some nice female Flower-pistols. This Week i started with the Flower Feeding, i gave her about 4 tsp Seabird Guano as Topdress Feeding, it got a NPK of 7-4-5 so not idial for Flower but i guess Perfect for Streching-phase. Please Let me Know if you do Lollipop your Autoflowers ?? i was pretty unsure if i should do it but i was afraid that if i didn't do it it would cause problems cause of the ventilation. Hope you like the Grow so far !

New week starts. 🌞29.03 Both 'Gorillas' got their final topping today. 🌞30.03 I tightened my flowers too weak and they've straightened their brunches back. Now I will wait them to become thirsty to make LST again. 'Gorilla's leafs are too thick and curly, they need LST as fast as possible. I'll make it for two days. 'Critical' was healed already and it starts growing again. 'HulkBerry' is a biggest one. 🌞31.03 Clean water spraying. 'Critical' reaches 'Gorilla's size, it's fealing OK. But 'HulkBerry' is huge! It will cover all other plants from sun if I woldn't do nothing with it. So I decided to slow it's grow with HST training. When it become thirsty (this sunday) I'll break its upper brunches (second knot). Then I'll wait it to heal and will break the lowest ones. This should hold it's grow and will give more time to others. I'm really excited to do this, because it will be my first HST. 🌞01.04 Clean water spraying. My girls didn't receive watering for three days now. I'll do LST and defoliation tomorrow, then I'll feed them. I'm planning to do a Supercropping to my 'HulkBerry', specifically two brunches of an upper knot. It's main-lined and healed already, it is four week of vegetation so I decided the time has come. This procedure will slow it's growth and give more light to the lower crone. Upd: I didn't wait for tomorrow and made all trainings today. Supercropping of 'HulkBerry' turns the best, it looks like I've made it well. 'Critical' was topped for the second time (2x2 scheme). All plants got their first defoliation and were pulled by garden wire (LST). Now it's time to water them with their wery first 'GHE' nutrients in a 'first roots' doze. 🌱'RG'#1 - Defoliation + LST; 🌱'HB' - Defoliation + Supercropping + LST; 🌱'CR' - Defoliation + Topping + LST; 🌱''RG'#2 - Defoliation + LST. Upd_2: I took a photo in a 8hrs after all I've done. All girls are turned their leaves up, all looks great. 'HB' is big and hard, as if nothing happend. It's success! I'm happy with how it turned. It was a good day. 🌞02.04 'Critical' is growing too slow. I think this because it lost a half of its crone when I accidantly broke it. And then it had his topping after a few days. Now it is a smaller one. But it already got his final form, and new leaves starts to get bigger visually, so I think it's not a problem and it will take what it should. No procedures today, nor watering. Spraying with water as usual. I think about giving them 'GHE SeaWeed' in a form of a spray. 🌞03.04 I watered my babies with 'GHE' nutrients in minimum concentration and gave them a drop of a 'GHE Diamond Nectar' to try. Next watering will be in a 'First leaves' dose (Gro/Mic/Blo - 1/1/1ml per l. plus 1.5 ml/l of D.nectar). Mb I'm giving nutrients too slow, but I have time and patience and I don't want to overfeed them. Next watering will be on wednesday, the first day of a week. Next time they'll get full 'Vegetation' dose, but one time after one (nutrients-clean water-nutrients). I still remember few times when I overfed my plants. So this time I will be more accurate. I made LST today to all my girls and sprayed them. Also I deleted four biggest leaves from 'RG'#1. 🌞04.04 At the evening (For my plants. It's a morning for me) I defoliated all my girls except 'Critical'. Its because when I removed trays to sit them well - 'CR' pot had more waight in it. So 'Critical' drinks less then others and need bigger crone before I'll make transplantation into the large pots. Defoliation went successfully and they got LST after it. 'RG'#1 has asimetrical look, half of its brunches are smaller. I turned it around cos I think it's temperature fluctuations near the ventilation chanels fault. So here we are in the end of this week: 🌱'RG'#1 - LST, Defoliation; 🌱'HB' - LST, Defoliation; 🌱'CR' - Nothing today; 🌱'RG'#2 - Defoliation. _____________ Week ends.

Day 31, 20th of October 2021: Welcome to week 5 hello everyone. Here we go these girls are pretty 😍 💕 LST is performed again on them the side and the main branches nicely bent and spread over :) A lot of fan leaves removed as well especially from the bottom of the plants the yellowish ones ;) Smell is more noticeable RQS Ladies: Gelato Cookies is beautiful growing nicely very calm normal.... Smell is getting stronger ... She is happy 😊 doing great!!!! I love💘 Northen Light seems to be a bit bad girl.... I can spot some nitrogen deficiency or might be magnesium.... Well there is no big problem at all hopefully I can manage to make her greener again lol Mastodon Kush.... what a creation! A strong resistant robust genetics! Getting smelly lol.... Well, not necessarily to wrote a lot just check the pics : BEAST!!!!! No signs of any problem for now.... Spliff Ladies: CBD Medi Kush is bombastic strong and healthy no any problem very resilient lady.... Blue Berry is still fighting with some nitrogen or magnesium deficiency but nothing serious problem there.... Spliffs Strawberry 🍓 started growing and grew a lot proper Sativa lady.... And... Afghai Gold she did the most growth. Very nice strong real Indica little chubby bitch hahaha. Fertilization remains the same with the same bat guano, epsom salt and Biobizz family - BioGrow, BioBloom, TopMax... 2x a week epsom just once. Ratio is above... ;) Lamp is on 150W so approx 60% of the max and it is fine just placed the fan kit in so the temp is lower approx 25 degrees and constantly fresh air goes in and the humidity is lower as well around 50%... Every 2 hours ventilation is on as well for 2 minutes just to make a better air circulation. They receive approx 100 ml water a day/plant...

Was another good week, had mostly sun and only two days of rain, one of them being today. No vertical growth again this week but she is really filling in. Back on nutrients 3 days a week but cut water back to 6L in morning and an extra 4L in afternoon (only when very hot and soil dries faster). Did a good defoliation on day 2 of the week, removed any branches growing inwards and cleaned up all around. No shock next day and by end of week almost filled back in again. Will give it time to grow through net but for sure 1-2 more defoliation in the future. Gotta keep good airflow through the middle to avoid problems down the road. So originally I had planned on just using the garden stakes, but that's just not going to cut it so McGivered a good support system. 2x2x12 screwed into the corners of the skids (fit perfectly in existing holes) and horizontal supports to strengthen it up. Netting around and two rows up near the top. Ready to take on the weight that this girl is going to put on. I would think that should start flower in next week? 🤞 end of July but they're still getting 12hours direct sun + 3-4 hours a day of sun filtered through tree canopy. If she don't start soon it's gonna be a late finish!
