Tried some training seeing how it goes

All photos taken day 25 of flower. Started to develop a nice aroma now, I’ll have a little de leaf in a day or two to help lower humidity and uncover some flower sites. Can’t wait for it to warm up so I can switch my heaters off! ✌️

🌿 Woche 13 – Mentha de Croco 🇩🇪 Was für eine Woche! 🚀 Beide Pflanzen sind inzwischen auf etwa 155 cm angewachsen – ein Wachstum von beeindruckenden 24 cm in nur einer Woche 📏🌱. Die anhaltende Hitzewelle mit Tagestemperaturen von bis zu 39 °C ☀️🌡️ fordert ihren Tribut: Aktuell benötigt jede Pflanze rund 5 Liter Wasser pro Tag 💧. Abgesehen von der täglichen Bewässerung gab es diese Woche lediglich eine Gabe Ackerschachtelhalm-Brennnessel-Ferment mit einer Dosierung von 10 ml/L 🌿. Trotz der extremen Bedingungen sehen beide Pflanzen weiterhin absolut gesund und vital aus 💚. Sollte das Wachstum in diesem Tempo anhalten, könnten sie bereits in etwa zwei Wochen die 2-Meter-Marke knacken! 📈 Am Ende wird jedoch vermutlich das 30-Liter-Topfvolumen darüber entscheiden, wie groß die Pflanzen letztendlich werden. Bis dahin heißt es: gießen, beobachten und das explosive Wachstum genießen! 🌞🌿 🌿 Week 13 – Mentha de Croco 🇬🇧 What a week! 🚀 Both plants have now reached approximately 155 cm, gaining an impressive 24 cm in just one week 📏🌱. The ongoing heatwave, with daytime temperatures reaching 39°C, has significantly increased their water demand ☀️🌡️. Each plant is currently consuming around 5 liters of water per day 💧. Besides the daily watering, they received one feeding this week with a nettle and horsetail ferment at a concentration of 10 ml/L 🌿. Despite the extreme conditions, both plants remain exceptionally healthy and vigorous 💚. If this growth rate continues, they are on track to break the 2-meter mark in about two weeks! 📈 In the end, however, the 30-liter pot size will likely determine their final height. Until then, it’s all about watering, observing, and enjoying this explosive growth! 🌞🌿

🌸 Lava Cake – Week 7 (3rd Week Flower) | Blossoms Rising The third week of flower has arrived, and our Lava Cakes are stepping fully into bloom. Both girls are looking beautiful, symmetrical, and strong, with thick white pistils reaching out and leaves still praying to the light. Their similarity in structure makes this run feel almost like growing twins, each reflecting the same genetics, each glowing with energy. ⸻ 🔙 Looking Back – The Road Here From seeds sprouting in soft cups → to vigorous veg under Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs → to the careful transplant and expansion in the 8x8 ecosystem, every stage has been about setting a solid foundation. • Feeding: Aptus core line + Plagron boosters • Training: Gentle guiding, letting them branch freely • Environment: Tuned by the TrolMaster brain, with sensors guiding irrigation and VPD All of this has brought us here: lush plants in early bloom, no signs of stress, and a canopy built for flower stacking. ⸻ 🍽️ Current Recipe – Staying Steady This week, we keep the same feed — consistency is key as the flowers set. Per L Water: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.5 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml With the Aptus All-in-One Liquid still paused, the soil’s embedded nutrition + pellets are helping balance things out while these bloom boosters do the heavy lifting. ⸻ 🌡️ Room & Rhythm • Temps: ~31–34°C (still awaiting the AC unit for stabilization) • Humidity: ~60%, bringing VPD near 1.9 kPa • Watering: Daily — plants are drinking heavily, irrigated once substrate moisture falls near 19–20% • Monitoring: TrolMaster WCS substrate sensor + Tent-X keep us informed on EC, moisture, and temps directly in-soil Even with warm conditions, the Lava Cakes are thriving, drinking more, praying more, and pushing out flowers with confidence. ⸻ 🌸 Week 3 Flower – What We See • White Hairs: Thick, long, and vibrant, covering the tops like cotton clouds. • Flower Formation: Calyxes stacking, pistils reaching — no signs of hesitation. • Leaf Posture: Still upright, showing photosynthesis and metabolism are strong. • Uniformity: Both plants showing the same pace and morphology, a sign of stable genetics and consistent environment. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – What to Expect / Not to Expect ✅ Expect: • Rapid stacking in the next 2 weeks — buds will start to swell noticeably. • Aroma development — sweet Lava Cake terpenes may start teasing the air soon. • Nutrient demands rising steadily as flowers form. ❌ Not to expect: • Big trichome coverage just yet — resin production typically comes later. • A slowdown — stretch is nearly over, but flower development is just beginning. ⸻ ✨ Closing Thoughts The Lava Cakes are shining this week. Both are aligned in their growth, both are drinking and feeding with rhythm, and both are showing that the careful setup, from lights to irrigation to sensors, is paying off. Week 3 of flower is a promise — not yet the harvest, but the first real glimpse of what’s coming. Thick pistils today, heavy buds tomorrow. With consistency in feeding, environment, and care, these girls are well on their way to becoming the stars of the room. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Day 64 (First Grow, Flowering Phase): Hey everyone! We’re on day 64, and the flowering phase is in full swing. The buds are forming beautifully, and the plants have grown 5-10 cm above the SCROG net, creating a lush canopy. The humidity is steady at around 50% or lower, which is ideal for this stage. To recap, we've been maintaining an even canopy with the SCROG net and our Timor shield mantis continues to keep pests at bay naturally. Our plants are thriving, thanks to the even light distribution and careful humidity control. We're considering installing a second fan in a few weeks to improve airflow and potentially adding a second SCROG net to support the plants as they continue to stretch during flowering. This should help stabilize the plants and ensure they get the support they need as the buds get heavier. Any tips or advice for the next steps? Let us know in the comments!

Yooo growers 🌱, We’re 8 weeks in and let me tell you — this grow is going absolutely wild. Everything’s blowing up like weeds (the good kind, of course 😎). From the jump, the girls were full of energy, and now the tent’s starting to look like a mini jungle. I’ve been running a 300W HID in a 60x60 tent, keeping temps and humidity dialed in just right. Feeding with Green House nutrients and sticking to a solid 16-hour light schedule through veg — and man, the plants are loving it. Week by week, they just kept stacking height and packing on that lush green. Now here in week 8, things are looking prime. The structure’s solid, leaves are healthy, and I can already feel the pre-flower tension in the air. A few more days and the real show begins — flower time, baby! Couldn’t be happier with how it’s all tracking so far. Stay tuned, 'cause if veg looked like this, the bloom is gonna be straight fire 🔥 Catch ya in the next update. ✌️

Day 14 - no water today, the girls seem to like their new pots (10 cm) Day 15 - 300 ml water with Acti+Heaven+Grow (Ph 6.8)(11 cm) Day 16 - litttle bit water (Ph 6.6)(13 cm) Day 17 - 300 ml water with Acti+Heaven+Grow+Calmag (Ph 6.7)(14 cm) Day 18 - 400 ml water + LST (Ph 6.6)(15 cm) Day 19 - no water (16 cm) Day 20 - 660 ml water with Acti+Heaven+Grow (Ph 6.5)(17 cm) Day 21 - no water (starting to show preflower pistils)(20 cm)

El viernes 21 regamos foliarmente con Delta 9 preparándolas para floracion

The Tropicana Cookies from fast buds is doing good after a little accident with her pot falling over an roughing her up a little hoping she didn't get effected to much other then that she's been growing great under the fold 6 looking nice an healthy

Hello, I am a brand new grower and I wouldn’t mind if anyone helps with this grow and any future ones. I am growing an auto flower in a custom homemade tent till my tent arrives. Hopefully everything goes smooth from seed to harvest.

Took some clones & defoliated/lollipopped I started building a veg tent and went with a 2x2 AC Infiniti equipped with the 4inch cloud line duct system was a boring grow week.. ready for flower

Hey now, this week went according to plan. I transplanted her to a 12.5 gallon container on Monday, and she started showing love for her new environment within 24 hours. I am still spreading out the secondaries, and will top them here in the next day or two, then there will be one set of topping left within 48-72 hours after that as she is starting to grow like a weed now that she has a nice root setup. Super excited to compare the bud growth and density with the same genetics I ran last time in a 5.4 gallon container compared to the 12.5. I hope everyone has a great halloween with more treats than tricks, unless you prefer the latter, be safe and blaze on!!!

I'm in love with this super Gorilla strain called Alien gorilla by original sensible seeds, super strong aroma,very very frosty all the leave are covered in trichomes, she's such an amazing plant for this Mediterranean climate, hope that I can grow a big bush from an Alien gorilla seed next outdoor season 😍🌱🦍👽💎

There’s a sweet grape 🍇 pungent smell that lingers after watering which is amazing she also has seeds …I await her ripening.

Dialing in the feed on this second run made a huge difference. Also enjoying the benefits of a clone run with better bud shape/size consistency.

420FASTBUDS FBT2107 WEEK 7 These 2 beautys couldn't be growing any better than the way the are. Both have a bunch of flower sites that are maturing nicely. I did give a light defoliation to the lower nodes on the branches. Could almost say a little lollipoping. Happy Growing

The first week of flowering is here, and things are finally looking much better! Both plants have recovered well and are now growing much healthier.🌱 #1 has already started stretching significantly, really picking up speed. It’s exciting to see how quickly it’s developing! Meanwhile. #2 spent about half the week still in vegetation, but towards the end, I finally spotted the first signs of flowering. Now that both are officially in bloom, I’m looking forward to seeing how they continue to develop over the next weeks. On to the next phase! 😊

- GERMINAZIONE - P.S. = Periodo da quando tolgo il seme dall’involucro fino al settimo giorno (una settimana) conterò questa settimana di germinazione a parte e le 5 settimane successive come vegetativa. Settimane totali dall’innesto del seme: (6 settimane piene prima di girarle in fioritura). Ciao amici !! Dopo aver tolto i semi di Gorilla Girl f1 fast version di Sweet Seeds dal proprio involucro abbiamo proceduto con l’inserimento di 3 di questi nei soil plug, mentre uno l’abbiamo fatto germinare nella carta/cotone, mantenendo i semi bagnati e umidi per i primi 3/4 giorni, tempo necessario per far “sbocciare” il seme. Una volta notata l’inizio della plantula abbiamo innestato i soil plug (e il seme singolo) negli appositi vasi, rinvigorendo il terreno con la giusta quantità d’acqua. (Terreno già concimato una settimana prima)
