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.

Most lower leaves have now yellowed. Pistils still white though. Stinks! Epic crops. Probably 10x more than I've ever managed before. Lord knows what I'll do with it all... ;-) Hoping she's ready to harvest soon because the electricity bill is starting to hurt :-/

The buds start to weigh too much for the thickness of their branches, no matter how many rhino skin I have used the branches have not fattened almost anything and begin to suffer with the weight of their buds, along the cleaning week I will have to tie them to the SCROG mesh to prevent them to fall horizontally. The aroma, color, shine and movement of the tails is wonderful, if I had not messed up with the defoliation and the growing time, those Gorilla Tails would be 10! ----WATERING CALENDAR----- 26/05/19 - 1,5 l with All week nutrients -(Flawless Finish) @ PH6.4 & 0.9 E.C. 29/05/19 - 1,5 l with Flawless Finish @ PH6.4 & 1 E.C. *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- Esta semana intento brindaros una imagen de mis cogollos superiores favoritos de las 2 gorillas, espero que os gusten!!. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Por fin la última semana de estas pequeñas, la siguiente página ya será la de harvest :) 👊. Los cogollos empiezan a pesar mucho para el grosor de sus ramas, por mucho rhino skin que he usado las ramas no han engordado casi nada y empiezan a sufrir con el peso de sus cogollos, durante la semana de limpieza voy a tener que ir atándolas a la malla de SCROG para que no caigan horizontales. El aroma, color, brillo y movimiento de las colas es maravilloso, si no hubiera metido la pata con la defoliación y el tiempo de crecimiento serían unas colas de 10! Qué ganas tengo de que pase la semana de limpieza y hacer la colecta, estoy que no cago!!!!!!! jajajajajjajajajjaja. ----WATERING CALENDAR----- 26/05/19 - 1,5 l con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Flawless Finish) @ PH6.4 & 0.9 E.C. 29/05/19 - 1,5 l con Flawless Finish @ PH6.4 & 1 E.C.

Hello Diary. The second week of flowering is behind me. There’s already a real jungle in the box, and as I announced last week, I did my first defoliation this week. I removed all the leaves from the lower branches and thus allowed her better airflow since there are three plants in the box. Two Haze Berry Auto and one Fat Banana Auto. As you can see in the pictures, the plants are really beautiful, with a bunch of flowers that fill up and develop nicely. Watering is every third day, when each plant in the box receives approximately 2.5 liters of water. I started adding CalMg preventively, 1.5 ml / lit and I continue with BioBizz, I will add it by feeling so we will see how the plants will react to that. Here's what the week looked like: 23/10/2020 - Day 29. Watering. This time I only added CalMg without BioBizz. p.H I regulated to 6.4 and the temperature of the water I water with is always around 20 degrees. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 26.5 degrees and 51% humidity. 24/10/2020 - Day 30. Defoliation. As I wrote earlier, I cleaned the leaves on the lower branches and allowed better airflow and easier watering. 26/10/2020 - Day 32. Watering. I always prepare about 8 liters of water with which I water all three plants. This time I added both CalMg and BioBizz. p.H. - 6.4 Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.4 degrees and 44% humidity. 29/10/2020 - Day 35. Photographing and watering. I took photos for this week just in the box. I think I will only take photos on a black background for the last two weeks of flowering so as not to disturb them too much. I then watered the plants only with water with regulated p.H at 6.4. That's all for this week, so far everything is great and I hope it will continue that way. See you soon.

This grape is a big frosty beast. I think she has the potential to put off an easy pound if she bulks up the way I think she will. I spread the plants out a little this week so they get better light and air flow. Other than that I haven't done anything besides keep the reservoir full. Still pumping nutrients 1 minute on 20 minutes off. They are getting .5 tsp maxibloom per gallon. Not going to run any boosters this round. They dont look like they want or need it.

🌸 Grow Diaries – Permanent Marker, Week 2 Flower 🌸 This week is special on many levels. Not only are our Permanent Marker queens thriving in their second week of flower, but it’s also a milestone for the Dognabis Cup: the welcome packs are on their way! So everyone, stay tuned to the postman and the doorbell — good things are coming. ✉️📦 The Cup itself is more than just a grow, it’s a celebration. It’s about sharing knowledge, experiences, and love for the plant. It’s about learning together, lifting each other up, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome. Sharing is caring, and this Cup is built on that principle. I’m truly honored to be creating this, and I hope all participants enjoy the ride. On the nature side 🌍🐝, I want to pause for a moment to appreciate the bees. They are true lifesavers for our planet, silent workers who ensure our ecosystems flourish. Just like automation in the grow room helps us, bees are nature’s perfect automation for life itself. Speaking of automation 🤖💧, this week we introduced a watering system to see how it supports the garden. We may or may not keep it, but for now, it’s been running, helping maintain consistency while still letting us keep a close eye on the girls. Now, the stars of the show, the Permanent Marker phenos. Both are growing beautifully, very similar in structure, with Pheno #1 stretching just a touch taller. Compact yet strong, stacking beautifully, and already showing promise of what’s to come. Alongside them, the whole room is thriving, and I’ve shared a video to give you all a glimpse of the bigger picture. 🌿 Lighting is another key topic this week: I want to highlight the ThinkGrow ICL 300 inner canopy lights. With their 300° spread, they make sure that even the lower canopy gets love, pushing light deep into the structure. This tech is a game-changer in keeping plants balanced and productive from top to bottom. Nutrition-wise, we keep it simple because the super soil is already alive and working hard. We’re just giving the girls a push with Aptus Holland Regulator and a gentle dose of Top Booster. Nothing more is needed, they are thriving in their living soil environment. 🌸 Summary: • Stage: Week 2 of flower, steady stretch and stacking. • Nutrition: Super soil base + Aptus Holland (Regulator + caMag-Boost + Top Booster). • Automation: Watering system introduced this week. • Lighting: ICL 300 bringing life to the under-canopy. • Dognabis Cup: Welcome packs shipping out 🎉 — sharing is caring. • Inspiration: Remember the bees 🐝 — life’s greatest little allies. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

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 💚

It's been another easy week in the Fastbuds tent. I've spent most my energy preparing my outdoor grow space for a wild summer. At this point, there's not much I can do except water and watch my plants grow. I've added videos of other plants in relations to the mimosa cake just for visual aid. I also added a photo of my cheese auto.. it's still drying! With the Mimosa cake auto I've been taking fan leaves off slowly for weeks now. This is a very busy plant. She is also going to run later than I expected. She's on day 76 and I suspect 95 to 100 days to finish time. I'll have to keel feeding her bloom nutes for the next few weeks; her 3 gallon bucket ran out of nutrients already. Feeding schedule: water, feed, water, feed Step 1- I'll take an aeration stone and use it to remove the chlorine residual in the water... this only takes 8 - 12 hours depending on water temperature. (I'm a water treatment process operator, I have checked several times in the past with my own Cl2 meters). Step 2 - add Calmag Step 3- add bloom nutes Final step - pH the water accordingly (very important that this is final step) A TDS residual of 500 ppm equals roughly 1 E.C. (I just double it)

Our Zookies Automatic are very cute. Remember that we are growing 1 Plant worked with the techniques and one left to grow without cutting techniques to preserve its speed. In this diary we find the plant that is growing free and beautiful with just a little cleaning. We are at the time of going into flowering for a couple of days we have switched to bloom to avoid the yellow tips but for the most abundant in this week in which we have stretched we have given the grow again. The comparison is the salt of the experience so the plant of the other diary will be worked very differently go and see it to compare them. We have started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhiza Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot). We are administering // 1 ml/l Power Roots - 1 ml/l Pure Zym - 1 ml/l Sugar Royal - 3 ml/l Alga Grow We sprayed Vita Race Foliare 3 ml/l. https://plagron.com/en The doubts about the compatibility between Pure Zym and mycorrhizae have been dispelled, they can get along according to Plagron experts. If someone tells you that enzymes eat mycorrhizae, which in principle may seem possible, explain to them that it is not true. https://www.royalqueenseeds.it/growing/452-easy-roots-mix-di-micorrhize.html Is a top strain of the last few years very high level of thc ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11174-zamnesia-seeds-zookies-auto.html Brief description of Zamnesia // The result of the cross between Animal Cookies, GG#4 and ruderalis, this compact variety produces top quality buds, maintaining all the charm of a modern US hybrid. Thanks to the hard work of the Zamnesia genetics team, Zookies Automatic is easy to grow, fast flowering and exceptionally vigorous. Regardless of whether you grow indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse, if you are looking for a stable autoflowering strain that is quick to harvest, Zookies Automatic is definitely the one for you. Like all Zamnesia autoflowers, Zookies Auto promises rapid harvests of top-quality bud with minimal effort. And she delivers on that promise. After germination, Zookies Automatic plants grow vigorously for around 3–4 weeks. At the end of the pre-flowering phase, plants typically reach a height of between 90–110cm, depending on the size of the pot. You can find the whole world of growing on Zamnesia and more, just check out the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colours. The new strains are fantastic and the old ones are no exception... p.s. no hermaphrodites so far, can you growers say the same?

day 9: the roots start to come out of the netpot slowly (see picture) the water level is 1 inch under the netpot, the bubbles make the roots wet. nothinh much to do here just waiting for water change. the ph has gone up to 6.0 maybe because of the rockwool touching the water when the water level was higher. in the next days i expect the roots to go in the water day 11 (december 15) roots com trough net and i did water change with double strength (507ppm) calmag to around 200 and 100ppm of each three part bottle
