Nearing the finish line! OMG these ladies are blowing me away 😳 the Tricomes are carpeted, the buds are fat and dense. I’ve been. Tapering off all the nutrients and feeding ph’d water until I get 10-15% runoff from the pot to help break up the pockets left behind and to use up what’s left in the plant. Have some very distinct phenos, all of them are stellar but there are a few standouts… won’t be much longer 🇨🇦👊❤️

Three different strains from LIT Farms (https://litfarms.com). Check them out if you haven't heard of them. Looks like they have some fire 🔥 genetics. I'm about to find out!! 12/30/2022: Started all of the seeds in a cup of distilled water, with a splash of hydrogen peroxide for 24 hours. 12/31/2022: moved into a damp paper towel, using the same water/hydrogen peroxide mix the seeds soaked in. 1/1/2023: 5 of 6 seeds germinated and are showing a small tail. The Frozen White Runtz, Ice Bath, and 3 out of 4 of the Grand Prix. Still planted all 6. The Grand Prix #4 is the one that was not showing a tail yet. Still holding out hope. Only plan to plant 2 of the Grand Prix, so I'm not concerned yet. Hopefully I get two female!!! Planted all the seeds into a solo cup, filled with BuildASoil Light, and watered with ThermX-70, Rootwise Micro Complete, and some fresh aloe juice from an aloe plant in my back yard. My daughter got to pick the color of the solo cups, so looks like we are using pink, haha. Added a light mulch layer of barley straw, and put in my tent under 18 hours of light. 1/3/2023: the same seeds that cracked two days ago broke the surface today, so I'm calling this Day 1. I checked the Grand Prix #4 and decided to cut my losses and throw in a new seed directly into the cup. We'll see if this one pops and can catch up. 1/5/2023 - Day 3: The five seeds that germinated look healthy. The Grand Prix 3 has some leaf curl on it's first set of leaves, but I'm not worried. Still nothing from Grand Prix 4. Cups are all still wet enough so not much else to do but wait at this point. They have been averaging about 85° with 80% RH. 1/6/2022: the new Grand Prix 4 has germinated, but it has not pushed through the soil yet. I cand see the soil bulging, so I'm thinking tomorrow! The other 5 are looking good and the cover crop on the bed is coming in strong. 1/7/2023: The replacement Grand Prix #4 sprouted! Now let's hope I get at least two female of the Grand Prix for the 3x3. It's a waiting game now.

Die 7th Wave hatte heute Friseurtag. Sie wurde ausgedünnt und gelollipoppt. Das Netz habe ich ca. 5 cm höher gemacht.

Day 77 I'm running out of vertical space for pinus contorta, this weekend i will open the box to move the leds higher and will try to do some decent photos. At this point i've added the Pinus purple matcha to the diary because she's huge and impossible to not notice, should be around 1,5m² almost 150cm tall. Had to do a very risky move and "soft crop" 2 apicals because of burn risk, too close to the leds. I wasn't expeting a freakin' tree like that! Day 79 Jeez plz stop growing in height!! After this shaky video i raised the leds 10 cm, now i'm for real out of space.. I'm adding 10 to 12 liters every day, alternating ro with only silica one day and the other with nutrients. Day 81 Way too much leaves in the lower part of the plants but i really don't want to stress them more than the temperature is already doing (29.3C measured in the upper canopy at 5 cm from the leds). Luckily i've got a lot of airflow, 3 filtered exhaust and 1 huge intake to remove almost the humidity. Despite it all they are pretty healty, no visible burning signs.

Greetings, green enthusiasts! Welcome to another exhilarating update on the growth journey of my P.C.R.s. Buckle up, because things are about to get exciting! I'm thrilled to report that our P.C.R. plants are thriving in their third week of veg like never before. Their vibrant green hues are a sight to behold, and I can't help but marvel at their progress. But the real magic happened when I transplanted them into their final pots—the roots were an absolute spectacle, white and luscious, like something out of a dream. Aptus Holland, you've outdone yourself once again! Speaking of Aptus Holland, let's talk about the secret sauce behind this green revolution: the Aptus Holland products. My love affair with Aptus Holland runs deep, and it's all thanks to their innovative and effective plant nutrition solutions. When it comes to nurturing my girls, nothing else comes close. Let's start with the star of the show—the Aptus All-in-One pellets. These little powerhouses are packed with essential nutrients, providing a balanced diet for my plants and ensuring they have everything they need to thrive. Combined with the Mycor Mix powder, they create the perfect symbiosis, enhancing root development and nutrient uptake to levels that even I couldn't imagine. But that's not all—I've also added a touch of Aptus substrate buffer powder to the mix, ensuring that my super soil recipe is dialed in for maximum performance. With this concoction, I'm confident that magic is bound to happen in the days to come. Of course, I can't forget to mention the Aptus Holland Veg Mix, which continues to be my go-to solution for watering. With each application, I'm providing my plants with a carefully balanced blend of nutrients, setting the stage for vigorous growth and robust health. Now, let's talk numbers. My TDS is currently hovering around 370, while the pH remains a stable 5.8. And with temperatures holding steady at 21 degrees, the conditions couldn't be more perfect for our green darlings to flourish. Before I sign off, I want to extend heartfelt gratitude to Aptus Holland for their unwavering support as my main sponsor. Your products are the backbone of this operation, and I couldn't do it without you. A special shoutout to Art Genetix for bringing the incredible P.C.R. creation into existence, and to Grow Diaries and the entire community for your endless inspiration and camaraderie. Here's to another week of growth, discovery, and green magic! Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this green journey together. And as always, a heartfelt thank you to Aptus Holland for providing the nutrients that make it all possible. Here's to another week of growth, discovery, and endless possibilities!

day 42: LOTTA leaves, had to defoliate 2-3 times. they started to show their first pistils a couple days before the Ayahuascas, hope I can do a harvest before May,(the Peyotes) but it seems really tricky..unfortunately I need to leave them for a week in April. I'm pretty scared to leave them alone at the end of flowering... Day 43: do you think the leaves on 2 plants might be too dark green? Thanks! day 46: defoliating

🍇 BlueBerry #1 & #2 — Week 7 Flower From Roots to Resilience Hello beautiful souls, welcome back to our BlueBerry adventure — and a warm hello to anyone just joining us! Let’s do a little recap before diving into the magic. From seed to soil, our girls were lovingly nurtured in Aptus Holland super soil, guided by biological balance and living nutrients. Through every stage — from seedling to lush vegetation, from first pre-flower pistils to dense, frosty colas — these BlueBerries have been nothing short of spectacular. Last week brought a challenge: Bud rot found its way into one of our beauties. But quick action, gentle hands, and a bit of intuition made all the difference. We removed the affected areas, adjusted airflow, and kept a close eye. This week, we’re happy to say no new signs of rot — just thriving flowers and crystal-coated buds glowing under the light. 🌞 Environmental Notes It’s been hot, really hot — outdoor temps reaching 45°C (around 110°F). To manage, we’re running the grow during night cycles, where we can keep the environment steadier. Even with heat challenges, the girls are handling it like queens — strong stems, thick stalks, and buds forming beautifully from top to bottom. 🌿 Feeding & Support Our current recipe remains the Aptus + Plagron combo: • Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost • Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal & Green Sensation Together, they’re forming the symphony of this bloom — supporting cell structure, enhancing terpene expression, and encouraging thick resin development. One of the top buds was removed this week — not out of sadness, but as a precaution and an act of love. It was massive, too dense, and could’ve invited humidity trouble again. We took the chance to document it with photos, showing both the beauty and the lesson. 🌸 Reflections This grow has become a story of evolution — from the first transplant to the first flower, from trial to triumph. The inner canopy lights (ICL300) continue to shine beautifully, ensuring every level of the canopy is well-fed with photons. The plants are stacking heavy, leaning on the yo-yos for support, like true heavyweights in the ring. 💬 A Note of Gratitude A huge thank-you to Zamnesia for keeping the classics alive and to everyone following this journey — readers, growers, dreamers, haters, lovers, and the endlessly curious. Every comment, every question, every bit of love fuels this passion. We’ll keep learning, keep growing, and keep showing that even when nature throws a curveball, love and attention always bring balance back. Until next week — may your gardens be green and your buds be clean. 🌱💫 ⸻ 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

10 November 2020 SunSet-Sherbet Well this week is just another week by now, this lady has been threading through the scrog throughout the week and I believe this lady has finished here stretching and is in full on flowering mode now. Normally a plant stretches the first few weeks into flower to stop the growth and use the nutrients it’s getting now is used to store in the nugs and not the growth anymore. Each cola of each branch has reached the scrog net and has a decent amount of light exposure due to the fact that I only has one light for 2 plants and the spread of the light isn’t the best. Started making actual looking hairy heads with the on them 😁 the leaf spread is just getting a lot. Do-Si-Wine This plant is doing splendid due to fact that the long and stretchy-ness of these branches has reached the scrog net above and beyond which makes it a lot easier to thread through the scrog and to get as much light exposure as possible for more thicker nugs 🤓 The heads on this lady has started making THC 😁 the nugs are starting slowly to turn white which is very cool, because the plant is a dark green with WHITE nugs. One branched has snapped which is quiet delicate and grows above the rest if the canopy and causes shadow from on the bottom branches.

Ran on auto feed while I was on a trip and the hose popped off at some point flooding my grow box and not watering the plant for at least a few days! So pissed that happened I'll have to build a new box... the plant did fine though, a bit thirsty when I got home bit she bounced right back.

What’s up my diplomats, all good? Here’s the latest grow update — I’m super excited for the next few weeks. Let’s get to it: --- * **July 23, 2025** My pH meter arrived. After calibration, just like my buddy @FishWhistler pointed out, the pH was a bit off. I also got some pH down, and now I’m watering with water adjusted to around 6.5. Result: all the plants started showing much better growth, and the two that were struggling are now clearly bouncing back. Huge thanks @FishWhistler! Plants 1 and 2, which were moved to bigger pots a week ago, are looking way better now. ![pH|375x500, 50%](upload://iuJfwAfekUTX7zhVKAxwjzggrU3.jpeg) ![23/07 15:05|690x388](upload://enmOFFoSzrv2CM65Qny2ogHQAgC.jpeg) --- * **July 26, 2025** I transplanted plant 3 into a bigger pot. Since the move, it’s shown clear improvement. With a richer soil mix, it should thrive even more now. --- * **July 28, 2025** Before lights out, I applied a preventive spray made of water, andiroba oil, and potassium silicate to protect from pests. Also did a TOP cut on plant 3. At sunrise, the girls looked beautiful! Some of them have droopy tips because the photo was taken before watering.

Hello. This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of veg. I took another look at the males and found them to be average. Not that smelly or resinous. So, no good for breeding. That's ok though. Let see what these females can do. They are topped already and ready to be repotted and put in the tent. There's still 1 plant undecided. Has small male looking flowers. I'll leave it for a few more days before deciding. Man, there are lots of large female orb weaving spiders around here this year. Huge webs, when you walk into them in the dark, they don't break off like the little webs. What a difference in design though. These spiders are all in my yard. I find them fascinating to look at. Hope your enjoying the comics. Keep Growing Straight. Chuck.

One of the best plants I've grown so far. Trichomes are crazy Day 4 - most probably last sugar/pk feed before beginning flushing. Major defoliation to expose buds
