Week 10 : Well the plants suffered a bit from the adjustment to bottom feeding. Didn't help that there was a heat wave while i was away - oh well , on wards ! Maybe they're showing signs of underwatering, i can tell from a bit of droop and dryish leaves. Plants showing a bit of light stress from growing without adjustments while i was gone. Started the PK Booster tea when I got back , that's just mixed in a bucket with a bubbler overnight. I feed top of next week. These have started to concentrate on packing weight now, and the mr. B's is starting to look real pro with 3 main colas that might need support. The biotabs one is still towering, i see some calcium issues coming on, but nothing i can really do at this point. Oh well. The vertafort plant is getting smothered by the six shooter and her sister in the corner. overall though, healthy as you can expect plants that have been left for over ten days with a HID too close lol, oh and by the way I noticed my timer got some keys smushed in and the light was basically on twice around the middle of the night. doh! what a dunce ! took me a week to catch it aswell lol cant believe it 🚀

Frozen Black Cherry is still taking her time… but that’s totally fine! ⏳🍒 The buds are looking absolutely gorgeous – and the smell? Completely different from the RDWC run. It's wild how much the medium can change the terpene profile! 🔥🌿 The bud structure is still dense and consistent, but no color change yet – likely because I kept the temps quite warm these past days and nights 🌡️🌙 Now that the others are almost ready for harvest, I’ll begin slowly dropping the temperature to bring out those beautiful colors across the garden ❄️💜 I’ll give Frozen Cherry all the time she needs – I want all trichomes to turn nice and milky, with a touch of amber for that perfect high 🔬✨ Patience pays off! Don’t forget to follow for updates and final results! 🚀 --- Die Frozen Black Cherry lässt sich noch ein bisschen Zeit… aber das ist völlig in Ordnung! ⏳🍒 Die Buds sehen einfach traumhaft aus – und der Geruch? Komplett anders als beim RDWC-Grow. Kaum zu glauben, wie stark das Medium das Terpenprofil beeinflussen kann! 🔥🌿 Die Budstruktur ist immer noch schön dicht, aber die Farbveränderung lässt bisher auf sich warten – was wohl an den wärmeren Tagen und Nächten liegt, die ich zuletzt gehalten habe 🌡️🌙 Jetzt, wo die anderen fast fertig sind, senke ich langsam die Temperatur, um bei allen nochmal das volle Farbspektrum rauszukitzeln ❄️💜 Frozen Cherry bekommt jetzt einfach die Zeit, die sie braucht – ich will, dass alle Trichome schön milchig sind, mit ein paar bernsteinfarbenen Highlights für die perfekte Wirkung 🔬✨ Geduld zahlt sich aus! Folgt mir, um nichts vom Endspurt zu verpassen! 🚀

The Harvest Prelude: After a patient wait and 48 hours of darkness, the moment arrived. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja, standing proudly like a silent guardian, was ready for the grand harvest. The sound of each cut echoed through the grow space, reminiscent of felling a mighty tree. The compact structure of the buds was awe-inspiring, a testament to the ninja's disciplined growth. The Lego Ninja, like a stoic warrior, was then hung upside down, beginning a two-week drying ritual. Maintaining an ambient temperature of around 21°C and a relative humidity of 60%, this slow-drying process allowed the buds to retain their essence, preserving the symphony of terpenes and cannabinoids. The trimming phase unfolded like a fragrant masterpiece. Each bud, adorned with a glistening layer of resin, transformed the trimming process into a sensory delight. The zesty aroma of oranges enveloped the room, a tangible expression of the tropical lineage. The compact buds made every snip a careful dance, revealing an abundance of frosty trichomes. The moment of reckoning arrived with the scale's unveiling. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja, from a single plant, bestowed upon me 309 grams of dried medicine. Each gram was a treasure trove of cannabinoids, a promise of euphoria and relief. The sheer compactness of the buds translated into a concentrated potency that left me in awe. In parallel, the clones, nurtured with equal care, showcased a fascinating divergence. A twist in the tale unfolded as the intense oranges of the mother transitioned into vibrant tangerines. This unique expression, I believe, was a testament to the clones weathering a summer heatwave differently, bringing forth a distinct personality. The clones, resilient and generous, gifted me a bountiful 549 grams of pure joy. This now my keeper of the garden, an embodiment of the Lego Ninja's legacy. The harvest dance, though familiar, carried the nuances of tangerine zest, a refreshing twist that left me eager to explore its intricacies. Both harvests shared a common thread—their resinous abundance. The trim bin, akin to a treasure chest, gleamed with golden trichomes and fragrant joy. Sticky fingers became a badge of honor, a tangible connection to the resinous richness that filled the room. Shout Outs: No harvest report is complete without expressions of gratitude. A special nod to @DutchPassion_Official for crafting the genetic marvel that is the Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja. Their expertise paved the way for this epic journey, and I tip my hat in acknowledgment. In conclusion: As the dust settles on this epic harvest saga, my heart brims with happiness and excitement. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja has proven itself not just as a plant but as a living masterpiece. Stay tuned for the smoke report, where we delve into the true essence of this botanical ninja's legacy. Until then, fellow cultivators, may your gardens flourish, and your harvests be as bountiful as the joy they bring.

Seems to be doing well and growing quickly. roots are already 12" in length and look like large centipedes. Under the bright lights it's a who;e new game. A few weeks and flip to flower unless I want monsters again lol. 😎

🌸 The White OG – Week 2 Flower Strain: TheWhite OG by Seedsman Seeds Stage: 2nd Week Flower / Week 13 from Germination Grower: DogDoctor Pot: 30L Fabric Medium: PRO-MIX HP Mycorrhizae Lighting: FOG LED Controlled by: TrolMaster Environment: 🌿 🔆 Light Schedule: 11/13 (Light/Dark) 💧 pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: 1.26 🌡️ Water Temp: 18.6°C ⸻ 💥 Let the Bloom Begin We’ve officially entered Week 2 of Flower—and you can see the shift. ✨ The canopy is full ✨ The stretch is slowing ✨ And the first signs of flowers are popping up! Tiny clusters forming, her energy turning inward to begin building her crown. This is a foundational moment. What we do now will shape the rest of her flowering cycle. And for White OG, it’s looking like she’s going to be a big mama, just as we’d hoped. 🌿 ⸻ Feeding: The Aptus Clean Program with Breakout Powder This week’s feeding is a carefully balanced clean recipe—precision, not excess. 💧 Order of Mix 1. Regulator – Strength and cell structure 2. System Clean – Sanitation and oxygen boost 3. RO Water Conditioner – Unlocks nutrient uptake 4. All-in-One Liquid – Balanced base nutrients 5. Breakout Powder – The flower kickstarter 🌸 Why Breakout Now? Week 2 of flower is when we want to nudge the girl gently into full reproductive mode. Breakout powder provides the phosphorus and potassium bump needed to stimulate early bud formation and drive more focused energy into flower sites. Not too early. Not too late. This timing is just right. 🧠 ⸻ 📈 Metrics That Matter • Final pH after mix: 6.0 – ideal absorption • EC: 1.26 – strong but not heavy • Water Temp: 18.6°C – slightly cool, but within range This is a recipe that’s been tried, tested, and it’s clearly working. Her leaves are loving it, and her roots are thriving. ⸻ 🌿 Canopy Goals She’s taking to the Scrog beautifully—spreading, reaching, stacking. You can feel her momentum building. The defoliation we did earlier paid off. She’s getting light where she needs it and airflow is perfect. You can already feel her presence. She’s not just growing—she’s preparing for bloom with intention. ⸻ ❤️ Thank You to the Dream Team • Seedsman Seeds – for giving us these genetics to explore • Aptus Holland – for their clean and powerful feeding philosophy • FOG LEDs & TrolMaster – for total environmental control • GrowDiaries – for the platform to share, learn, connect • To the community—friends, haters, lovers, fellow growers—you are all part of the rhythm • And of course, to Instagram, where we keep the vibes flowing daily 🌈 👉 Come join the journey at [@DogDoctorOfficial] 🎉 Don’t miss the Dognabis Cup - 1st Edition now open! ⸻ 🌙 Final Thoughts This week, we don’t rush her—we guide her.

Everything going good.. Humidity was a little high so installed a dehumidifier through the wall. Much better now. I got rid of the Gelato it was just bad from jump and then started growing some weird stuff on leaves.. Wasn’t risking the others catching something. But they all seem to be growing good.

Day 28 flower.! 😏Almost halfway. Had to get a larger area bc the 10x10 bedroom wasn't cutting it. Hard to water when plants fill tha whole room😭. So I upgraded and got a 10x20 workshop behind my house and wired a 100 amp subpanel in there so I should be good for abt 10K watts next grow😎... if I can wire my whole shop on FaceTime with a friend who is a certified electrician then trust me anybody can do it. Yes it was my first time wiring ANYTHING in my life. Which is crazy. It pays to have great friends.

The finish line is in sight. I have been completely caught of guard with this plant. It all started when I got a half oz of Gelato 33 top shelf grade AAAA+. Any who I being who I am,glass half full type of a grower. I found around 20 nice mature seeds and stored them away for a time. Out of the blue a thought hit me,?,I should geminate a couple of them there Gelato 33 bag seeds. I did not expect to much with this grow and I usually don't when growing out bag seed. Needless to say I honestly believe that this plant is far superior to the bud I got the seeds out of. Keep in mind the AAAA+ quality of the buds I got the seeds from. This plant had giving me absolutely zero issues. One day I'm looking at marble sized buds and I swear it seemed like overnight the transformed into golf ball sized nugs and then some. The colors are amazing purple, yellow, red, pink and the most alive green color I've seen. I have been placing a layer of crushed ice on top of the soil and letting it melt in and doing so has noticably increased trichomes and made her pop purple so dark it's black. Never again will I underestimate the power of bag seed genetics. Honestly I know me and in all reality any seeds from flower I purchase is always high grade or exotic so ya any viable seeds should in theory produce good quality medicine providing the pollination was from a nanner and not from full on hermies. I say that because a nanner pollination will give you female seeds as to a Hermie pollination will produce mixed with strong Hermie traits.

Utopia Haze is a rare heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created through back crossing Brazilian Sativa strains. This tasty little bud took home 1st Place for Best Sativa in the 2008 High Times’ Cannabis Cup and for good reason – with its potent 18-22% average THC level and long lasting cerebral effects, Utopia Haze is one powerhouse smoke. The Utopia Haze high comes on soon after you finish your first toke, hitting you with a strong cerebral lift that infuses you with a sense of hazy relaxation. Type: Feminised/Photoperiod Cultivation: Indoor/Outdoor Flowering Time (days): 70-75 Indoor Yield (g): Up to 650 Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month: October Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month Week: 3rd-4th week Aroma: Citrus, Woody, Pungent, Mint Effect: Cerebral Lift, Hazy Relaxation, Sleepy Welcome Everyone to the Final Entry of my Utopia Haze Grow ! There is so much to discuss ! I have been extremely busy as of late trying to get this Harvest together, but i am happy to have it here for you now ! I Seriously under estimated the amount of time, help from others, and my own necessary skills to pull this off.. and i still kind of screwed it up lol ! But its worth noting i have never actually done this before and trying to document it during....was extremely hard. It is next to impossible to work an iPhone with rubber gloves on ! First I want to discuss everything step by step so before you jump straight into the comments on how the end product is so small in "quantity" Rest assured i am happy with its"quality"...and thats all that matters to me because Life is a journey not a destination! and i have learned so much from this grow that I couldn't be any happy even if i messed some things up :) But at the very least I hope you read through this entry in its entirety with an open mind and focus more on the process, rather than just the outcome! I ran out of Ice & i was only able to wash three times..(normally I've heard you should go sometimes 5-6 washes) Preparation is Key & things will be much better next round :) Photos 1-22 These are pretty self explanatory but for those of you just tuning in now.. this is what happens to a very happy plant when you don't have the necessary tools to monitor key components of growing cannabis.. Ph, as well as EC levels play a very key role in the outcome of your grow lol that being said I was just able to save this plant by purchasing both tools but that doesn't mean the plant didn't suffer because of the prior events.. This was a Huge reason behind me choosing to turn this harvest into what i would consider "Solventless Hash Rosin" from "Ice water extracted Bubble hash". Pictures 23 The idea here is the process of using "fresh Frozen Cannabis" this has been discussed many a time online on such sites as instagram and here on grow diaries as well.. I personally have Never tried the process so i decided to try it out and make a judgement for myself.. Video 24 The Cannabis has now been in the freezer for 72 hours making it very well frozen.. as you can tell i struggled getting it all into the 25u Screen Wash Bag. One thing of note i would do differently is i will de-stem my next batch as i also believe this played a part in the amount of plant matter that escaped through the sieves. Photo/Video's 25-28 The idea here is "ice water Seiving" & especially with the bags that I am using here that are only have screen material on the bottom portion of the bag it is very important to have spaces in-between the screens to allow the water to pass directly through the screens into the bottom bucket with the least amount of resistance.. because the hash is so extremely temperature dependant if it gets warm on the side of the bag.. it will stick there and not make it to the bottom to become use able product.. 29 You do not need to use as much Ice as i used here lol... the idea is to keep everything very cold..i certainly achieved that but at the sacrifice of using so much that i ended up grinding product and producing "contaminants" but in the end they are just plant matter that i would be smoking when i rolled up my joint either way so.. I'm not super disappointed.. But it should be noted that what you want to achieve here is a Layering effect where you have the wash bag between two small layers of ice while the "water current" washes the Trichomes away allowing them to be separated by the screens setup below :) Before Starting the machine you should allow some time (i.e.;10-12minutes pre soak to allow the product to become saturated) before the first cycle. By video 32 I have just ran out of ice lol.. Video 33-34 Here I have a tip for you.. to separate the screens that you sieve through.. cut 5 gallon buckets to stretch them across nice and tight.. it'll make scooping your Bubble that much easier ! i learned this from the many "Frenchy" videos I have watched :) Picture 35 Here in lays the problem for most people.. drying your hash without loosing vast amounts of "Terpenes" whilst also stay ever vigilant against mold ! Thanks to all those videos I've watched on youtube.. id like to think this was one of my most successful parts of this process.. Things to Note; Terpenes start to seriously evaporate at temperatures 68F or 20C you need to stay as cold as possible whilst bringing the Relative Humidity in the space down into the 40-30% to stay away from that nasty mold ! I used my cold storage room in the basement.. with a dehumidifier running to keep the space at 45% RH & staying at a constant 15c. All while spreading the hash as thin as possible across parchment paper, on top of the white screens with a fan moving air across both sides of the paper. Pictures 36-38 These are some macros i took in the middle of my drying session I fell in love with the colour. Yes i know the black spots are plant material but they will get caught when i bag the hash & squish the oil out. Thing to Note; at this stage it is important to ensure you 'micro plane" the hash down as fine as you can whilst staying weary of the temperature... any "chunks" will hold pockets of moisture.. that lead to potential problems..ie; mold ... Picture/Video 39-41 Successfully planed bubble hash ready to be bagged and Squished ! Picture 42 Ive decided to follow Pedro.. from Pedros Grow Room and double bag to be on the safe side so i don't have any blow outs. So thats One 25u bag inside one 160u bag ! :) Pictures 43 This is almost 3 grams of the bubble hash from above, already melting in the bag.. this is where i ran into trouble again lol things started getting to warm in the house and i was only able to get one of the three squish's i did on video :( things started getting sticky. Picture 44 This is basically just a photo of the equipment I'm using; 3x5 LowTemp Cage in the frame I built myself, with a 20Ton bottle jack. Something to note here is this is an older Lowtemp model with only a single heating zone which is which i have it closed here heating Both sides of the press :) As well as the importance of having adequate pressure on your plates.. my rig is very overkill for the size of hash bags..lol Video 45 Here is the lovely press video.. its didn't quite work the way i wanted either lol my directional folding wasn't quite tight enough for a big "drip" :) &the Press was set to 65°c Photo's 46-50 are pretty self explanatory :) I had a blow out.. but still managed to pull an 80% return from the hash once squished...& yes it tasted amazing :) Was it worth it in the end... that could be debated.. for some..i understand..its not your thing, but for those of us that are interested in making our own concentrates.. free from Solvents... I wouldn't make it any other way :) If even ONE of you reading this diary finds it helpful to reference for ANYTHING.....even if its "what not to do" ill consider it a success ! Thanks again for tagging along on this garden adventure.. its been one heck of a journey ! Much Love from B.C. Canada, Until Next time, Cariboo
