Looking okay, the highest leaves are burning quite a lot, but I’m not worried a lot as the buds are forming nicely. I’ll be feeding a little less from now on as she doesn’t seem to need a full dose every watering.

11/3 Week 6 Watered roughly one gal each @6.5PH, Fish Sh!t 5ml - Karo 1 tps /gal Flower Girl still in the pot, no deficiencies I can see, well new ones :) Mag-Sulfur Foliar spray (Epsom Salt 1tbs/gal) on all as leaving cal-mag out this time Moved the two healthy plants to the center of the light, they can use it, the others might respond well to lower levels. 11/4 Better pics uploaded Placed Brandy on a block of coco coir to bring her canopy up to Layla's level. Moved Maggie to the corner she has a stretch going that I HOPE is ending and I dont want to set the lights to her. Watching that plant carefully Considering a PK boost watching only Layla for that as the other two ... well hell what can they tell me? 11/5 Working to getting the canopy under control with one stunted plant and another stretching like crazy. Put a block under Brandy to move her up level with Layla. Trained down Maggie this growth needs to end, it was already stressed. Still giving light pref to healthy plants. 11/6 Raised lights three clicks, increased extraction, showing some heat stress in those edges. 11/7 Good results on the heat stress curling has ended. Noticed some improvement also in the tops of Brandy and Maggie, so raised lights another couple of clicks. See if it continues, coming up on a make or break feeding in couple of days. update Foliar Feed All - Epsom Salt 1tbs/gal Well Maggie's came today - To runoff- 1% peroxide - 5ml CalMag - PH 6.8 Hitting Sulfur as hard as I can. Before pics posted Brandy not dry enough waiting Layla just got fed but she got pics too as there are signs of Mag deficiency 1 gal 6.5 PH - CalMag 5ml - Fish Sh!t 5ml - Bio_Bloom 5ml as a PK booster JIC 11/8 Video of plants 24hrs after giving Maggie the h2o2 1% , think she looks better lets see how it goes 11/9 48 hrs after treatment and Maggie is showing great improvement, serious improvement in leaf structure and coloring. Pics at lights out tomorrow new week anyway. Brandy showing some improvement but its early. Canopy is level now so lights set to Maggie being slightly taller ***Last update before the new week.*** May have found ONE of my problems,certainly not THE problem, but one. I have been using lemon juice as a PH UP since we went organic late last spring. Because of all the problems I have been looking into a lot of things further and found that lemon juice begins to degrade as a PH up after as little as an hour. A 6.0 PH water gallon can go to 6.5ish in 24 hours simply sitting in a dark corner in a jug. One can imagine the variances in soil. Why I dont know but I am going back to chemical PH additives post haste in fact its already done.

This week was a tough one because we were not prepared for the heat and lack of clouds/rain that we were going to get. After the rain from last week died down the plants had a chance to get some raw sunlight. This was great but the temperature of the greenhouse did soar and the 'windows' could only do so much. PLUS there was barely any wind. We had to leave the Ghouse door open during the day but at night when the temperature dropped we closed it. The girls were doing great and you could tell who really loved the nutrients and who didn't... I recommend leaving ghte nutrient until the plants have at least three sets of leaves each, not including the initial sunleaves that will eventually die.

Been topping a lot of the highest nodes, trying to keep it a little shorter before moving to bloom tent. They grow so fast with hydroponics. Basically repeated last weeks nutrients, there was no issues and didn’t do anything but top to keep em shorter, didn’t even top up water for 7 days straight...

Ehi ragazzi! La ragazza questa settimana sta davvero cercando di "scalare il cielo" ,tutta la pianta le foglie le cime gli steli , sono tutti propensi verso l alto! È davvero interessante come genetica! Le cime si stanno facendo sempre più grosse e succose! L'odore di runtz sta iniziando a farsi sentire e le cime sono super appiccicose! Cosa posso volere di più?! Penso che la piccola ragazza mi darà grandi soddisfazioni! Grazie a Mars hydro e Sweet seeds che hanno reso questo possibile!! Buon 420 a tutti regazzz!!

Week 2 - Transplanting Transplanting is the second part of securing a solid foundation for the roots, by using the rock wool cubes I am providing to root ball with a headquarters. I use root excelurator in my feeding and soaking the Rockwool cube so you can expect a very healthy root system and by having a healthy root system you have bigger trees, thicker stems & bigger buds.

I haven't defoliated much at all through this entire grow, so I decided to do a thorough defoliation and cleaned out the entire lower canopy. I also removed the sucker branches and adjusted the nutrients for early bloom. I'm using Recharge and florakleen to flush between nutrient changes.

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 There has been much change this week!! First there was a big defoliation done, I cleaned the bottom of the plants. All the growth that wouldn't amount to anything because the light doesn't penetrate that low. Also took off the biggest fan leaves to give more room for light. Then finally switched to 12/12.. After just 36 hours after the defoliation there was a major change. New growth everywhere, colas started stretching upwards fast. By far the tallest girls in the tent. Her colas are stacking up nice and tight if she keeps that up we'll have some nice dense colas. 😁 Great reaction to the defoliation and 12/12 switch. I'm still watering every other day, After the defoliation I watered with only Enzymes 2ml/L to clean the roots a bit then started with the nutrientes again. I dropped the amount of grow nutrients from 3ml/L to 1ml/L and started adding bloom nutrientes 2ml/L for now. I'll slowly be upping the bloom nutrientes and after week 2 I'll no longer add grow nutrients. That's it for this week. Stay tuned to see how they flower. Stay safe!

🌸 BlueBerry – Week 4 Flower Report Grower’s Journal – Zamnesia BlueBerry | Entry 009 ⸻ 🌱 The Girls at Week 4 Both BlueBerry #1 and #2 are officially in their bloom stride. • Structure: Stocky, balanced, strong branching. • Stacking: Bud sites are forming beautifully and starting to swell. • Frosting: Trichome production has begun — the first glitters catching the light. They almost look like mirror images, which is a testament to the stability of these genetics. Every node is stacking just right, making this run a true delight to watch evolve. ⸻ 💡 Under-Canopy Lights – The Hidden Secret This week the under-canopy lights are proving their worth. Not only are the tops shining, but even the lowers are receiving enough energy to thrive. This setup is creating: • Even growth across the whole plant. • Healthier lower buds, not just popcorn. • A canopy that feels alive from top to bottom. It’s a real ecosystem of light, every layer glowing and working together. ⸻ Environment – Hot, Hot, Hot Now, let’s talk about the truth of summer growing: the heat. Temperatures are climbing so much that even taking pictures becomes a challenge. Let’s say this: by the time I’ve finished shooting the girls, I’m almost in “summer beachwear” mode 🌞👕😂. The garden is so warm and alive that it feels like stepping into a tropical bloom paradise, except instead of palm trees, I’m surrounded by BlueBerry flowers. Humidity stays in balance, sensors are working, and despite the warmth, the girls are thriving. ⸻ 🌿 Atmosphere & Gear As always, the ecosystem setup is running smooth: • TrolMaster brain + sensors keeping us updated. • Spider Farmer + Aero Fans ensuring airflow in & out. • Filters keeping everything fresh. • LEDs (Future of Grow + ThinkGrow + Lumatek Zeus) pushing flower formation with perfect spectrum balance. Every piece is connected, every reading aligned — it’s not just a grow tent, it’s a living orchestra of technology and nature working together. ⸻ ✨ The Fun Side – Amnesia Moment A little shoutout: taking care of the BlueBerry girls sometimes makes me forget the world outside (Amnesia closes, let’s call it that 😉). Between the heat, the scent of early terpenes, and the hypnotic way flowers are forming, time disappears in the room. That’s the beauty of it — it’s not just gardening, it’s a whole-body, whole-heart experience. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – Into Week 5 Next week, I expect: • Flowers to bulk up heavily. • Terpenes to become more noticeable, filling the room with the classic BlueBerry perfume. • Trichomes to coat the buds more visibly. • Room adjustments as needed once the AC comes into play, stabilizing the heat. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts Week 4 flower is the turning point — where the story moves from stretch to stack, from structure to sparkle. Both BlueBerries are stunning, almost identical, and thriving under both canopy and under-canopy light. Yes, the heat makes it a sweaty job (half-naked photoshoot vibes 😅), but the result is worth it: strong, healthy, beautifully evolving BlueBerry ladies. From genetics to gear, from environment to experience — everything is tuned for success. And now, it’s just about letting them shine. 🌸✨ DD (DogDoctor)🌱💚 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚

13.4.25: This week has been so busy in the garden! I forgot to take any notes, so I'll see what I can do from memory! 😅 I watered several times this week, and I used Ecothrive Biosys with dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. I watered about 2 litres to each plant. Throughout the week, I've been defoliating all the fan leaves 🍃 The trichomes are looking all milky to me. I stopped watering a couple of days ago, and the pots are totally dry. 14.4.25: Today is Harvest Day! I finally put together my clothes rail, which I'm using to hang my plants on. I purchased a hanging mosquito net for a bed from Amazon. It's black, which will hopefully block out what little light there is in my drying room. Also, to prevent debris from sticking to the buds whilst drying. It hangs from the ceiling so it will just hang over the clothes rail. Additionally, the net will allow good airflow. I put a bit of thought into this method, so I look forward to seeing it in action! 😅 So let's wait a while and find out how much we yielded here! 😃💚✌️🌱👌

10/7 - Watered today. Plants are looking great. I used less CalMag this time, I don't think the extra N from the 2-0-0 CalMag is needed as much, we'll see how they respond! I also used 10oz of Real Growers Recharge that was aerated for about 12 hours on each plant after watering. Haven't had to do much defoliation and I think I did an "almost perfect" amount. There are still plenty of fan leaves, but every single "top" bud site is not blocked! 10/8 - Not too much to update. Everything is looking great. Daytime RH has been between 50-60%, which is good for now. I did end up picking up a nice portable AC unit to help with keeping temps at 60 during the drying phase. I also bought some Grove Bags for curing, and a heat sealer to make sure I do it right! Still need to get trim bins and some more trimming equipment. I plan on doing a full plant hang to dry, with 60/60 Rh/Temp. This is probably still 4-5 weeks away, but I'm excited!
