Welcome to week 9. 7/2 today I defoiliated some damaged leaves from Gaia and Circe trying to make them look presentable. The lock out has done damage last will last until they are harvested. Last week was flushing every 2 days with 2 gallons of water for each plant in the tent. PH of the soil is down from 8 .2 to 7.2 not so alkaline. 7/3 water feed and some pics. I made 4 gallon fertilizer solutions using TPS1 fertilizer 10ml per gal. I made 1/2 strength at total 22,5ml Signal 1ml per gal. Total 2.5ml Ppm total 620 After I fed 4 liters each I followed 3 hours later to test the run off. Cream caramel Ec .99 ppm 690 ph 5.95 runoff 2 ltr in drip pan Gaia EC .88 ppm 620 ph 6.82 run off 2.5 ltr Circe Ec 1.30 ppm 910 ph 6.16 runoff .75 ltr 7/4 reduced light schedule to 15 hrs from 18 hrs. 7/5 flushed all with 2 gal each 7/6 cream Caramel is showing lockout now too😨 even with flushing. 7/7 more flushing. Last week I mentioned books that I've read that influenced my thoughts, beliefs and how I see the world. I grew up in the 1970s, ( my formative years) in Tidewater Virginia, situated on the Atlantic Ocean. Friends and I went to the beach, not for fun in the sun but to go to the A.R.E. The ARE is Edgar Cayce's, Association for Research and Enlightenment and the Heritage store which was a new age metaphysical crystal shop with crystals, stones, meditation, and yoga classes. I scoured old bookstores looking for books written on spiritualism, psychology, alternative religions, old doctor books, etc. My desire to be a healing practitioner stems from my books from Jeanne Rose in 1970s. She is the first herbal medicine woman in modern times. Florence Scovel Shinn, metaphysician, lecturer, artist- The Game of Life and others written in 1925. Edgar Cayce's trance readings. The older books are out of print but may still be found. There is a River is Edgar Cayce's life story. Hidden Life of Trees is a must read. It explains connectedness. Interestingly, my great uncle, in his writings (above) references the spiritual laws written in the books mentioned above. From various religious scriptures, the existence of personal behavioral laws, as I would describe as code of honor, as indicated are the ways to true Peace. Throughout my generations the search for spiritual truths have fallen outside the realm of traditional religious formation. From the spiritual sense, I have emerged full circle. grandparents' and parents' lifetimes, there were world wars. Everyone had a focus on world peace. Mucha's quote on week 8 emphasizes the need to build bridges, to achieve peace. Sadly, I remember watching the Vietnam War on the news when I was growing up. Well I started college with dream of becoming a doctor, but changed to business and accounting. During my college years, I worked part time jobs in a stock brokerage firm and jewelry store. From that point on I loved nice jewelry and desired the unusual gemstones that were mentioned by Edgar Cayce. Eventually I started my career in Accounting working in in hospitals, banking and finally in local and state government and higher education. In my late 30's having a midlife crisis, I felt that I really belonged in as a healer. I considered homeopathic school but my daughter was recently born. I did not want to travel to New York and be away from my family. An opportunity missed. My words of wisdom: If you have strong feelings in your gut, the little voice in your heart tells you that "this", what ever this represents to you, is your path. Follow your dream. My gut still gnaws at me. I graduated with a BS in accounting with a minor in psychology, continues my education thru MBA. My entire career was in accounting and finance. My last position was the Director of Financial Reporting and Revenue. I was happy, loved my job, I had a great staff. My plan was to work until I was 70 as I have good genes for longevity. Cancer changed that. The focus of oncologists is to check the cancer free box at 5 years. I'm working on cleaning up the aftermath of the storm. Yeah, my hormones are still wrecked. Ladies and Gentlemen, tell all the females you know, never take hormone replacement therapy. Try acupuncture, herbal teas, deep breathing.

These are doing pretty damn good for the most part. I figured out with the green buzz the only thing in bloom that raises ppm is the base bloom and the more PK which is good to know. Also been using lower ppm for the autos and they seem healthier than usual. These pics and the video were taken on Day 36.

Day 91, plants #1&3 are still maturing and not ready to be chopped. They are definitely running longer than I expected. I have plant #2 in jars and curing already. Total dry weight for her was 98g or 3.5oz!!! Definitely more than I was expecting. I was hoping for 1.5oz so I’m definitely a happy guy about that!!! Update #2: upon further investigating, looks like I’m going to start flushing the last 2 plants in a couple days when they go through all their current nutrients. They’re about ready to come down. I harvested last two plants on day 98. Currently drying. I will update with final weight in a couple days.

Weeks 15 - It’s Ready - The 1st Gorilla Glue Is Ready To Be Havrest, I Gave It 3 Weeks Of Flushing And The Trichomes Of The Top Heads Are Most Cloudy With A Few Clear And A Little Amber Trichomes And The Bottom Buds Are Mostly Cloudy With A Few Clear And The Sceny Is Still At It’s Peak But You could Tell It Was About To Head Over The Morning And Start To Take A Downright Spiral I Will Be Hanging It To Dry For 7-9 Days At A Temperature Of 70 Degrees and 60% Humidity. The Slower It Dries The Better.

great, everything is going really smoothly, @Zamnesia Runtz auto, copes perfectly with leaf spot and LST, started to bloom, so I think it will soon stop growing upwards, and I won't have to hurt it anymore :) @Plagron This is the first time I've used nutritional fertilizers, but I already understand that it definitely won't be the last :) good luck to everyone :).

🌱 WEEKLY REPORT — 12/12 From Seed Light Shuttle Run A New Experimental Cycle Filled With Vigor, Authenticity & Community Love This week marks the launch of our 12/12 from seed light shuttle experiment, an intentional departure from traditional cycles to explore how early flowering signals influence structure, energy distribution, and overall expression. It’s a fresh chapter, and already the project feels alive with momentum. ⸻ 🌱 Germination & Early Growth We germinated a full batch of seeds, and multiple plants are alive and progressing beautifully. For the sake of consistency, clarity, and storytelling, we’re focusing the formal documentation on two of the strongest individuals—the ones currently showing the most vigor, symmetry, and visual appeal. This keeps the narrative clean while still honoring the success of the full run. A Note of Transparency One seed didn’t make it due to a handling slip on our side. Not an environmental issue—just human. And that’s okay. Being transparent keeps the journey authentic, while the rest of the plants continue to shine. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment remains controlled and supportive: • Humidity: 75–80% • Temperature: ~28°C • Light Cycle: 12/12 from seed (experimental shuttle approach) These conditions have fostered healthy early development, vibrant coloration, and confident structural initiation. ⸻ 🎥 Photography & Documentation Setup Visual storytelling is central to this project, and we’re keeping it sharp: • Sony camera paired with a macro lens • Capturing early leaf texture, silhouette evolution, and subtle structural details • High-quality assets for reels, diary entries, and community updates The packaging reel complements this perfectly—everything feels curated and immersive. ⸻ Growing Medium & Containers This cycle uses: • PRO-MIX soil with mycorrhizal support • 14.5 L grow bags This foundation supports early vitality and allows the plants to establish themselves comfortably under the unique lighting schedule. ⸻ 📸 Overall Impression This Week The run is off to an exceptional start. Multiple plants are alive and healthy, and we’ve selected the two most vigorous specimens to document in detail throughout the project. Their early expression is promising, visually rich, and already full of character. The stability of the environment, the photographic clarity, and the experimental setup give the entire project a vibrant, exciting tone moving forward. ⸻ 💚 Community, Gratitude & Acknowledgment As always, none of this exists in isolation. A heartfelt thank you to: • Tical (the music legend behind part of the genetics) • Zamnesia, co-creator of this beautiful genetic combination • The entire community — the OGs, the newcomers, the quiet supporters, the loud ones, the curious, the passionate • GrowDiaries and the whole platform for giving projects like this a home • Everyone following the journey, sharing love, and keeping the culture alive Your energy fuels this project.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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. FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial NEW DISCORD - Official Server Invite Link : https://discord.gg/ksjAkA5T74 P.S.2- Due to the new platform restrictions on GrowDiaries, it wasn’t possible to upload all of the germination photos during the official germination week. To keep the documentation complete and transparent, those images are now being uploaded together with the rest of this week’s photos. Thank you for understanding and for continuing to follow the journey so closely.

About 2 weeks left on our Gorilla Glue autoflower buds are hardening up quite nice and getting real frosty. Hints of purple hues on some of the calyxs are starting to emerge through the thick forest of matured orange pistol hairs. Buds are like as named they are as sticky as glue! Watering with normal ph water for the rest of her life and allowing her to use up any stored nutrients as well as bring on her nice fall fade.

420FASTBUDS FBT2106 WEEK 7 This beautiful lady is maturing nicely with some amazing purple flowers. It's starting to give off a sweet smell so one could only imagine as she gets futher into flower. The other unfortunately isn't going to make it. I've continued to let it grow and see if maybe it would snap out of the funk it was looking like. But it still has not and seems to be not getting worse. Every now and then you end up with some funky mutations. All in all Happy Growing
