Another week down and it appears that the upward stretching has finally slowed down to a crawl at this point. I probably could have done a far better job managing these plants for maximum yields given I was doing some quick and dirty pheno hunting it really wasn't needed. I am glad to see the buds are beginning to swell nicely now. The time lapse really shows it off well, even if it is a bit over-exposed. I *really* need to get some better glass in there.... This old Brino 720p camera isn't cutting it when I want nice close shots. The buds are showing some nice trichome development as well. I'm more than a little curious to see how they after another month of filling out.

Day 22 - 06/04-2024 - Watered 2L - I am trying out LST with this one. Starting out with a soft bend using cotton thread. before bending i gently rubbed the stem between my fingers to soften it up Day 25 - 09/04-2024 - Watered 1,5L - I am really satisfied with my LST work so far and now i regret i did not try this out earlier....

Cette semaine 3 et 4 a été sans plus un seul bémol est que ma deuxième fille qui montrait nettement des nuances violettes sur ses pointes de têtes s’est cassé pendant un essai de LST, faute entièrement personnelle, j’assume néanmoins on continue avec quand même. La 2e s’est étiré un peu et a reçu parfaitement son LST et a même commencé à montré ses pistils de pré floraison donc on engraisse. Du coup on a profité de ces essai de LST sur les deux fifilles pour commencer les engrais BIO GROW & BIO TOP MAX et bientôt BIO BLOOM pour la phase complète de floraison. En attendant je vous laisse admirez les vidéos et photo, pas dans l’ordre mais celle en B&W est d’aujourd’hui ! 1 mois pile depuis sa mise en terre 👏🏾💯 ainsi que une petite WW de chez RQS que je développerais dans un autre agenda

Well, it's been another busy week in the garden, and things are getting interesting. The coolest thing about a mixed run is seeing all the differences between the strains, all growing at different speeds, having different structures, different shapes..... It's gonna look awesome when the tents are in full flower. And with them all at slightly different stages, it's kept me with things to do every day. Some highlights from the week: MBAP #1 - Fimmed, LST'd and defoliated on day 16 MBAP #2 - Fimmed, LST'd and defoliated on day 17 Walter White - I normally fim my autos, but given that this plant had the 3-way node mutation, I decided to top and see if we can get some nice 3-way main cola action going. Topped on day 18. SOH #1 & #2 - Haven't even started training these yet due to size, and they are already throwing pistils!! Both first started to show signs of sex around day 16. #1 had clearly defined pistils by day 18, and #2 had them the next day. I think these may be some fast finishers, never seen them go into pre-flower this early. Will raise a grow question to see if anyone else has any experience of this. BGS - Fimmed, LST'd and defoliated on day 20 All the plants have started some form of training except the PP and 2 x SOH. The SOH have already begun sign of going into pre-flower. Given their small stature I'm inclined to simply stick to LST and avoid high stress techniques, so I don't think I'll be fimming or topping these ones. All plants are still on the same feeding schedule for now, but I think I'm going to have to start independent schedules this week, as they are clearly developing at different rates and will have different nutrient requirements. But for now, the current feeding looks like this: Nutrients ~~~~~~ CalMag: 0.95ml / gallon (0.25ml / liter) MegaCrop: 3g / gallon (0.79g / liter) Total EC: 1050 PH: 5.7 Tasks for the week ahead - get the MBAP and SOH onto autopots. This will cut my manual watering by more than half, saving time, sanity and my marriage :) Happy days. Catch you all in a week....

Did LST and topped Pheno 1 & 2, 3 is too funky to mess with. I think PH was just my issue and possible too high intensity light as I lowered to 60%, but also brought my PH to 6.5 so I'm guessing that helped too.

The plant grown on the outside terrace had to be moved to a larger pot and placed inside my kitchen because it was yellowish and the leaves burned. The weather was not stable and there were strong gusts of wind that ruined the factory. It is now improved.

Week 12 — GMO Cookies Served with extra curiosity ? Week 12 from seed marks what we call Week 7 of flower in this 12/12-from-seed run, and at this stage the room is doing exactly what it should: less intervention, more observation, and a whole lot of trust in the process. By now the heavy lifting is done. Structure is built, flowers are formed, resin production is in full swing, and the focus shifts from pushing growth to guiding the finish. That’s why the room still looks familiar on paper — 26°C days, 18°C nights, 60% RH, steady airflow, same rhythm, same calm environment. No dramatic changes, no chasing numbers, no panic-adjusting because a chart says so. Leaf expression remains relaxed, transpiration is steady, and the plants are still telling us the same thing they have all run: conditions are stable, leave us be. That consistency is what got us here. And now we let them finish. ⸻ Less feeding, more finishing This week marks the real transition into the final stretch. The bottles have mostly stepped aside, and the focus now is simple: water, enzymes, patience. At this point the soil still holds more than enough nutrition to carry these plants home. That is one of the biggest advantages of building a living, reusable medium instead of treating soil like an inert substrate. The plant has already been fed. Now the soil gets to do what it was built to do: buffer, break down, recycle, and deliver what remains. So instead of continuing to push feed late into flower, we’ve shifted almost entirely to enzymes. This week the mix is simple: * rainwater * dehumidifier water * Pure Zym * no pH adjustments Landing naturally around 6.8. That is perfectly acceptable here, and more importantly, it is consistent. At this stage we are no longer trying to micromanage every decimal point. We are reading plant response, not chasing bottle charts. The root zone is stable, the soil is active, and the plants are finishing without asking for more. That matters more than forcing a perfect number onto paper. ⸻ Why enzymes matter now This is where enzymes earn their place. Late flower is less about feeding the plant directly and more about helping the soil finish clean. Enzymes work by breaking down dead root matter, leftover organic residue, and unused nutrient material in the substrate. Instead of allowing that material to sit, stall, or accumulate as waste, enzymes help convert it into simpler compounds the soil biology can either recycle or clear out. That matters for three reasons right now: 1. Cleaner root zone The plant is nearing the end of its life cycle. Roots naturally slow, age, and shed. Enzymes help keep that zone cleaner, reducing buildup and preventing the root mass from becoming stagnant. 2. More efficient nutrient recycling There is still food in this soil. Enzymes help unlock what remains, allowing the plant to access residual nutrition already present in the medium instead of continuing to push fresh inputs. 3. Better soil for reuse This matters beyond harvest. Because this soil is being reused, enzymes help start that cleanup process now — breaking down residual organics and preparing the medium to be re-amended instead of discarded. This is not just feeding the end of this run. It is preparing the beginning of the next one in the veggie world outside. ⸻ Drinking less… but still drinking well Water uptake has eased slightly this week, now sitting around 1.5L per plant every 24 hours. That small drop is exactly what we expect here. They are drinking a little less now because the plant is no longer prioritizing rapid structural expansion. Stretch is done. Leaf production has slowed. Vertical growth is over. The plant is no longer spending energy building framework. Now it is ripening. That shift changes demand. Water use naturally tapers as metabolic priorities move away from expansion and toward maturation. Less new biomass is being built, so total uptake softens. But they are still drinking well — and that matters. Because while structural growth has slowed, flower metabolism has not. The plant is still: * moving water * stacking density * swelling calyxes * pushing resin * regulating temperature * transporting stored energy into the flowers That still takes water. So yes, they are drinking less. But 1.5L per day, in late flower, with this amount of biomass and this level of flower production, is still a very healthy sign that the engine is running exactly as it should. ⸻ The room right now This is one of the most rewarding phases of the cycle. The room smells louder. The flowers feel heavier. The frost gets thicker by the day. The color starts to shift. And every plant begins speaking its final language. This is where the run stops being about control and becomes about presence. There is less to do now. But more to notice. This stage is hand-watering, lifting pots, checking weight, scanning leaves, watching posture, tracking fade, peeking into bracts, checking trichomes, noticing who is ahead, who is slower, who is swelling, who is darkening. This is where the work becomes quiet. And this part matters just as much as everything that came before it. ⸻ Bulk, frost, and the final swell This week the flowers are doing what good late flowers should do: they are swelling. Not stretching. Not throwing chaos. Swelling. The buds are putting on that final weight now — denser, tighter, heavier by the day. Calyxes are stacking over calyxes, the flower surface is thickening, and what looked finished a week ago suddenly looks like it still has more to give. That late swell is where so much of the final weight comes from. And GMO is showing exactly why it earned its reputation. The flowers are broad, greasy, and dense. The frost is no longer just visible — it is layered. Trichome coverage has moved past sparkle and into texture. You can see it sitting on the flower surface like sugar pulled too thick. This is where the plant starts looking less like it is flowering and more like it is preserving itself in resin. ⸻ What you are seeing now: pistils, calyxes, and ripening This is the point where flower development becomes easier to read once you know what is changing. Those bright white hairs (pistils) that dominated earlier flower are beginning to darken, curl, and recede. That is normal. Early on, pistils emerge fresh and white as part of active flower development. Their job is simple: reach outward while the flower builds. Now that the flower is mature, many of those pistils have done their job. So they begin to: * oxidize * darken * curl inward * shift from white to orange, amber, or brown That is not decline. That is ripening. At the same time, the calyxes beneath them begin swelling. This is the part many growers miss. As the pistils age and pull inward, the calyxes underneath begin to enlarge and firm up — becoming fuller, rounder, tighter, and more pronounced. That swelling is where density comes from. It is one of the clearest signs the flower is still building real mass even when fresh white hairs begin slowing down. So while the pistils look older, the flower itself is still maturing. That is exactly what we want. ⸻ And then there are the trichomes This is where the real finish happens. Trichomes are not just “frost.” They are the plant’s chemical armor. These resin glands are where cannabinoids, terpenes, and much of the plant’s aromatic complexity are produced and stored. What looks like sparkle is actually the plant concentrating its chemistry onto the flower surface. And late flower is when that chemistry peaks. Right now they are thickening, clouding, and maturing. This is the stage where clear heads begin turning cloudy, volatile terpene content is peaking, and the plant begins shifting from active production into final ripening. That is why this stage matters so much. This is not just visual maturity. This is chemical maturity. ⸻ Special guest in the garden ? This week’s inspection team also included one highly unqualified but deeply committed assistant. A tiny toy fly has been making rounds through the canopy, checking trichome density, inspecting pistil posture, and offering absolutely no useful advice whatsoever. Morale has improved. Yield projections remain unchanged. The inspection reports were biased, but adorable. We’ll allow it. ⸻ Looking ahead to Week 13 Next week will be about watching the finish tighten. Expect: * more visible fade * stronger senescence expression * slower water uptake * deeper aroma * continued calyx swell * more pistil recession * trichomes pushing further cloudy This is where patience matters most. Not every plant will finish on the same day. Not every top will mature at the same speed. And not every signal arrives all at once. Next week is not about deciding harvest. It is about learning how close harvest is becoming. And that is a very different thing. ⸻ Final thoughts Week 12 is one of those weeks that reminds you why the slow parts matter. The feeding. The restraint. The consistency. The observation. The trust. Now it shows back in the flowers. To everyone following along — the longtime growers, the silent lurkers, the curious beginners, the sharp-eyed critics, the day-ones, the new faces, the supporters, the skeptics, the genetics, the breeders, the platform, and everyone spending even a minute here with this run: Thank you. To those who watch closely, cheer loudly, question honestly, and keep showing up week after week — respect. To the OGs who have been here since the first awkward updates and to the new eyes just arriving now: welcome. And to these plants, for doing what they do best with quiet precision and no ego at all— all love. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

. 📹 : Full Video on YouTube @hinterhofgrower, please like & subscribe 🌱 : LST on day 22, 23, soft topping on day 23, strategic defoliation & LST on day 27 💧 : back to ph 6.5, 2l day 23, 2l day 26, 3l day 28 added 0,1ml/l pk13/14 💡 : Dli: 30 mol/m²/d 🤔 : I'm a little worried about the twisted growth of the leaves. A YouTube viewer mentioned that this could be due to genetics in Fastbuds. So I looked at my old grows. Yes, they all have it, just not as pronounced. I think it was due to underwatering. The leaves were papery. My Soil is peat moss heavy. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to bother her. On day 28 I poked my finger into the soil at different moisture levels and noticed that fewer or no roots had grown in the drier areas compared to the moister ones. The roots are essentially performing air pruning. However, I want roots to grow in the less moist areas of the pot as well. For this, moist soil is necessary. The plant can only perform air pruning once its roots have filled the pot.

Final product is been absolutely amazing on these clones - the jungle came out about average but the clones definitely exceeded expectations there absolute fire in comparison but still just as good hopefully I can just improve a few issues we had on this run and dial right in 100% will be so much better, next few run is going to be special I’ve got a few things lined up. From tester packs to breeders packs I can hunt from. So lots to choose from but what to keep to run will be interesting

First week of flowering in the bag, trying out a new deep voice in my videos does it sound sexy? Let me know in the comments. seeing a little bit of stress on the leaves, but nothing major. The new developing growth is green so everything seems to be going well. I’m gonna give it another week and then I’ll defoliate. So far so good. having a little trouble reversing the wrath rock, candy icy cuts. but I’m not worried. I have backups of the mothers and I have backups of those backups so I’ll definitely still be able to take another shot after seeing the results from this grow ….
