Bruce Banner #3 fast is finishing up. She grew okay. I messed something up somewhere during grow. She still developed some frosty colas under the Hortibloom Solux 350. She will likely be going to ph water in a few days to a week. Thank you Hortibloom, and The 3Sensibile Seed Company. 🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏻❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Hello,,, semaine 3 de croissance. Les plantes continuent de se développer normalement malgré un début difficile. Je vais pouvoir commencer à faire un topping sur les plus grandes, et je ferais pour les autres une fois qu’elle seront à la bonne taille. J’ai augmenté l’EC a 1.5. Elles semblent avoir bien réagis. Je ne note pas de signe de carences éventuelles 🙏 C’est tout pour cette semaine. Happy grow...😎

The genetics of this planet of the grapes is amazing her structure her build and ability to pack heavy buds is a must have. Very easy to grow she requires medium feeding and takes well with multiple defoliation techniques

What a week !!! This was an absolute pleasure to grow , I don't deal with alot of sativa dominant grows, so having something get this much height on one week was pretty cool to see !! This one is about 6 days from going into flower, she REALLY liked to be plucked !!! Not very often do plants take so well from losing their large fan leaves like this one did !!

Hey Farmers, I hope the clones don't clutter the diary, or confuse you guys, wanted to show the progress and have some fun with a clone. One of them is now in a micro DWC setup, a reservoir of less than a litre she will be flipped pretty soon, to keep her compact. Now for the main plant, she's so incredibly bushy, I'm not going to veg much longer, in fact I might flip next week. She's very indica like in nature, very strange for tangie, Dutch passion notified me this seed batch stretches less, here's hoping i still get some sativa stretch.

3/14 Transplanted pineapple meatball babies into 1 gallon pots filled with Down to Earth Potting Mix. (I found out a few weeks later that this soil SUCKS for cannabis due to horrible drainage) Plants are sitting under my Spider Farmer SF-1000 in a grow tent.

DAY 37 FLOWERING!!. ( i screwed up my counting !!. flowering began 12th july. ) This lady continues to impress me. with 3-4 weeks left on her she has some serious potential for fat buds. I have found sone bud rot due to high rh , killed me to lop it off but had to be done. Working with 2 extraction fans now for air. She smells beautiful and is very very sticky now.

Okay heute startet die 5. Woche, von der Höhe her jetzt nicht überragend, kann sein der Lichtabstand war am Anfang nicht hoch genug. Ich denke am Schluss wird die Pflanze nur 60 cm hoch sein, aber buschig. Ich denke das Pre Flowing startet in einer guten Woche. Die Pflanze scheint ein wenig empfindlich zu sein bezüglich Dünger, hab den EC Wert auf 1.3 runter gefahren da sie an wenigen Stellen minimal Nutrient Burn hat. Das ist das tolle an Hydroponic, einfach das Wasser wechseln. Ph liegt bei 6.0 im Durchschnitt. Hab hier und da wenige Blätter entfernt sowie 1 Ast der es niemals nach oben geschafft hätte.

Day 65. Boy oh boy how i am happy, that i don't give a f@ck about this harvest ... I have golden rule - don't grow inside during summer ! And thats why ... Last days temps was reaching 34-36 inside !!! Humidity everywhere and heat stress pushed nitrogen excess even further, some top buds will be all in foxtails with slim shitty , leafy buds around ... Was terrible heat wave and i couldn't hold it, some strains took it way easier, but that one with unlove to N - is a sad picture .... So now i don't know what to do, feed them or not .... Its like Hamlets grow, constant to be or not to be questions around ... P.S. have to admit, that i was stupid enough and gave them lite worm castings tea, 180 ppm only, but i guess it had loads of N inside, my normal outdoor plants loved it, so i thought it should be good for my girls aswell ... WRONG ;))) Now i have like 8 overdosed with N plants, which are bigger than average and i have the rest, which would love more food, cal mag especially, and proper PK boost ... Totally lost, how stupid is to put random strains in one pot, very very very stupid ... More stupid is to play with sick plants , they where almost recovered from N toxicity .. Me and my desire to do it a bit better ... ;)))) Update 2 : i found what is wrong, those plants looked like reveging more, than heat and N excess , and .... when i was lifting lights up, one of wires touched timer,in the middle of night - 15 min of day .... Idiot .... Had a feeling to check, but weed laziness whispered me - everything is Ok ;)))))))) Update 3. Got so pissed from my careless, that bought Bluelab Combo, now i will know whats in my soil and i would check lights earlier if i knew that ( hopefully ;)) ) soil is underfed ;))) 200 pounds down ... and pitty harvest waiting ;(((( At least next one will be with full guns ! Sweet seeds strains, new ventilation system (nearest future upgrade) and now - full control over soil. New pot drain trays bought aswell ... Grower still the same tho .... ;))))))))) Day 67. First hermie found. This plant was tallest, so i had to supercrop it, maybe its was too many things just for this plant, anyway "Watchout" series 24/7 ... Lights changed to 11.5 day - 12.5 night. Craziest run ever .... Day 70. BlueLab Combo Plus arrived. Ph 6.2-6.4 - perfect, but no food tho. So today full feed watering, ph 6.5, ppm 800. This freakshow makes my heading, yesterday my holiday destination quarantined my country, so holidays are gone, could start new run now even and put them all to hash. Next week will show - if they recover , ill finish them, still issues - bubble hash time !!! ;))) Happy growing !!!

🌱 Amnesia Skunk — Week 5 (12/12 from seed) First real signs of flower & structural development Welcome to everyone joining the diary at this stage 👋 Here’s a quick recap, followed by a detailed Week 5 update. ⸻ 🔁 Quick recap — how we got here • 12/12 from seed from day one • Winter run, cold & humid external conditions • Focus on plant-led growth, minimal stress • No topping, no aggressive defoliation • Structure built through leaf tucking, gentle bending, and light LST Both plants have developed very similarly, with compact structure and strong lateral branching. No major phenotypic differences so far — which makes this run especially interesting to follow. ⸻ 🌸 Week 5 overview — transition into flower This week marks what feels like the first “real” flower week: • Clear bud sites forming • Vertical growth slowing slightly • Side branches pushing up evenly • Plants staying compact and well-balanced They’re stacking nicely and responding very well to the gentle training approach. ⸻ 🌿 Training & canopy management No heavy interventions here: • Continuous leaf tucking • Gentle branch bending • Very light LST, only where needed to open the canopy No defoliation beyond what’s absolutely necessary. The goal remains: let the plant decide, we just guide So far, this approach is paying off. ⸻ 🍽️ Nutrition & irrigation strategy (important update) ➕ CalMag introduced this week Not because the plants are deficient — but because: • We’re using rainwater + dehumidifier water • These sources are very low in minerals • Calcium & Magnesium need to be present before demand spikes This also explains the EC adjustments this week. ⸻ 🚿 Hand-watered plants • EC: 1.43 • pH: 5.9–6.0 • Water temp: 22.8°C Carefully adjusted to support flower transition without pushing too hard. ⸻ 💧 AutoPot-fed plants (6 plants) • EC: 2.29 • pH: 6.01 • Water temp: 22.8°C AutoPots are running mineral-only inputs, as organic inputs don’t perform well in this system. Higher EC here is intentional and controlled. ⸻ 🔍 Plant handling All plants are regularly: • Taken out of the tent • Checked for weight, water demand, and overall condition • Then returned to their position This helps ensure each plant gets exactly what it needs. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment (winter realities) • Outside: ~5°C, RH 92–96% • Grow room: • Temp: ~21.8°C • RH: ~58% Not ideal on paper — but the plants are not complaining, so we adapt and keep observing. ⸻ 💡 Lighting • PPFD: ~700–850 (depending on plant size and position) • Plants are praying consistently, showing good light response We let the plants “decide” how much they want to push. No forcing — just monitoring. 🔦 Under-canopy lighting — phased introduction By the end of this week, we’ll be plugging in the under-canopy lights. The canopy has already grown past the main light plane, and the goal here is not to blast the lowers — but to signal the plant that light is present from all directions. Why we’re doing this: • Encourage lower and inner bud sites to stay active • Reduce the “shade shutdown” response • Support more uniform flower development • Improve airflow and plant posture as branches respond to multidirectional light Important note: This will start very gently — low intensity, just enough to be perceived. PPFD and intensity under the canopy will be increased gradually, only if the plants respond positively. The idea isn’t forcing production — it’s communication. We let the plant decide how much it wants to use. ⸻ Fungus gnats — honesty section Yes, we’re seeing a small fungus gnat presence: • Yellow sticky traps installed • More intentional dry-downs • Actively monitoring, not panicking Personal thought (not science, just observation): A mild, controlled pressure may trigger subtle defense responses. Whether that translates into anything meaningful later… we’ll see. Either way, it’s under control. ⸻ 👽 New team member Meet Mr. Baggy Our new fluffy alien/beaver/whatever-he-is friend, won through a Grow Diaries contest. Expect to see him around — he’s officially part of the grow now. ⸻ What to expect next • Continued flower site development • Possible stretch differences emerging • Increased nutrient demand soon • Close monitoring of environment as winter progresses No big changes planned unless the plants ask for it. ⸻ 🤝 Final thoughts Same genetics don’t mean same results. Different environments, water, climate, and handling all shape how plants express themselves. I encourage everyone to: • Test • Make mistakes • Observe • Learn • Build your own understanding That’s how real cultivation knowledge is formed. Thanks to everyone following along — this journey is just getting interesting 🌱 Week 5 Veg/pre-flower | 8×8 Tent | Master Conditions 🌍 External Environment (Context) • Outside temperature: ~5 °C • Outside RH: 92–96% (very high humidity) • Strong seasonal pressure influencing internal stability ⸻ 🌡️ Internal Tent Conditions • Tent temperature: ~21.8 °C (noted drop due to cold external temps) • Tent RH: ~58% → Very good considering outside conditions ⸻ 💨 Airflow & Circulation • Primary airflow: Bottom → top → wall return • Pattern: Full-room vortex circulation • Additional fans: Central airflow to break blind spots and mix layers • Goal: No stagnant pockets, uniform VPD across canopy ⸻ 💧 Water Source & Rationale • Water: Dehumidifier water + rainwater • Base EC: force • Systems designed to support plant intelligence, not override it FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 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 💚 📸 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 A6700 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.

On Day 29 i mixed 2l of rain water with 4ml of calmag some melasse and 5ml of bio grow and gave each plant 1l. On Day 33 i gave them each 2l. I mixed 4ml of calmag 4 drips of supervite and some melasse with an ph of 6.5 . On Day 35 i gave them 1.5 l for this i mixed 3l of water with 30ml of Lab 3ml of alfa boost 3 drips of supervite some melasse and 3mlbof calmag. Bevor i watered them i put 3 scoups of feeding biobloom at the top of the soil then i watered them and added some weeds from my garden at the top so the soil stays wet any longer.

This week we started 12/12 cycle. I decided to do this because of the limited height of the box. Now I am focusing on the fact that it will stretch out in 2X. If she becomes taller, it will be a problem for me and her. Fertilizers: Throughout the vegetation cycle, I added silica to each watering. Now I will alternate 1 watering with silica and another without. I also increased the dosage of plagron "B" to increase the concentration of phosphorus and magnesium. There is a lot of calcium in my water, so there shouldn't be a deficiency. Thank you for attention🙏 Peace🙌
