This week wrapped up the generative two phase or midflower and began the generative three phase. The plants were fed the nutrients listed daily. I like to keep the p and k up high during the first week to twelve days of generative three. This week the weather has been more cooperative but far from ideal. The highs have ranged from mid 70's to 90 degrees f. The nights are running low to mid 60's f with humidity in the 90% range at night. Humidity has stayed somewhat high during the day ranging from 70% to mid 50% a few days only. This weather has really been testing these girls resistance. Plants 1 and 2 have been immune to pm. Plant 3 has responded well to treatment with arber. All the plants got a medium defoliation which helped. Everyone stacked this week. They have all reached their maximum height. I used the height of the tallest 87.5" for the official height. The two shorter plants are 61 and 62 inches.

I used this supplement 4th time. All was good but we need use 150-200% of recommended dose as i sad for better results. So the day 71 was harvest day) the buds really frosted and dense.. . Thanks "fastbuds" for good marijuana genetics... they did good work. Thanks guys for this. During season I hadn't any serious problem. Thank for all followers and friends who watched my grow and I wish you all have a good harvest brothers! When buds will be treated I add results) see you later;) Hi friends!) So 7 days took for drying buds. And we have not bad results -255 grams dry buds from two plants. 130.5 from one and 124.5 from another. Good quality and taste. I put them in my fridg for next 4 weeks for treating) so see you soon in my next grow;)

20/06/25: The plants seem to have taken the repotting and strong sunlight really good and are growing nicely ☀️ From now it's all outdoor so let's hope the weather gods are more generous than last year! Also I couldn't stop myself from applying some mild LST to get a bigger canopy! Plants are still pretty bushy and I am super excited to see how the stretch unfolds from now on! 😍 25/06/25: First week of flower is almost over and the vertical growth was unbelievable! It seems like Gorilla Z Auto #2 leans more to the sativa side and developes really large internodial spacing, while the other plant remains a bit more bushy! 🌿

This is my first grow and I'm following the canuck method because it's the easiest . Eventually I would like to get into high frequency fertigation with a coco medium but I want to produce a great smoke in soil first to get some experience.

Today I switched the light to the flowering phase. The light is now on for 12 hours. All plants were fertilized with Hesi Bio Bloom. The Tropical Marker and the Plurple Kush each received 2 liters of water, and the Pink Gelato received 1 liter. I trimmed off some large leaves. I hope they have a smooth transition into flowering. Day 42: The girls are growing well. The Purple Kush and Pink Gelato received 2 liters of water with Hesi Bio Bloom and some Biobizz Calmag today. I dimmed the light to 60%. The Pink Gelato is catching up a bit, but is very small in comparison. Day 43: They're all still growing well. The tropical marker has been given 2 liters of water with hesi bio bloom and biobizz call mag. I've raised the lamp a bit higher. Here you can see how the stems of the plants have developed; the pink gelato has grown like crazy. The humidifier from Spider Farmer does a great job! Day 47: The girls look good; the first signs of flowering are visible on the Tropical Marker and the Purple Kush. I also defoliated them; it was definitely too much, and they thanked me a day later with preaching leaves. Unfortunately, the Pink Gelato didn't tolerate the topping well and only developed one shoot. I then removed this shoot. Afterward, I watered the Tropical and the Purple with 2 liters of water mixed with fertilizer and Calmag at a pH of 6.3. I set the ventilation to 50%. day 50: They look very healthy. I fertilized all three plants with 2 liters of water each containing Hesi Bio Bloom and also mixed in some Cal Mag from Bio Bizz. The first signs of flowering are visible. I set the exhaust air to 50%. day 51: The ladies look good, but the humidity has risen due to the weather, so I had to connect the new Spider Farmer dehumidifier today. It's easy to use and does a great job. 55% humidity was quickly reached on the low setting. The air goes directly into the tent through the hose. The CO2 level is also rising slightly. day 52: Today I started weaving the Tropical Marker into the net. I also cut off two of its shoots. I watered the Tropical Marker and the Purple Kush with 2 liters of water containing fertilizer and a pH of 6.4. The light is slowly being increased—today to 70%. day 54: The ladies are doing well. I watered the Tropical Marker and the Purple Kush with 2 liters of water with fertilizer and a pH of 6.3. The flowers of the Tropical Marker are slowly getting larger. All plants are now flowering. The Tropical Marker had the fastest transition to flowering and is about a week ahead of the others. day 55: Today I watered the pink gealto with 2 liters of water mixed with fertilizer and cal mag. I defoliated the tropical marker a bit. day 56: Hey guys, nothing exciting happened today. The girls are doing well; they look very healthy. Humidity is 55%, temperature is 24 degrees Celsius, and the Vpd is 1.4.

The beautiful Lady comes close to its end. I removed some crumbly leaves. It was an absolute pleasure growing this plant. She took the stress like a champ and seems to bring the best Bud from Autoflower yet. The Smell is absolutely amazing and strong. Fruit-Berry Mix combined with Gelato 😍. Buds seem to be pretty dense. last 3-4 days she wont get any water. Cant wait to harvest 😇

She is now a skinny 17 inches tall. Defoleated all the bottom crap and cleaned her up. A little newt burn last week at 600 ppm. I have raised ppm to 680 so she may not be happy come the end of the week. She will have to get use to it. I'm sure she will be fine. Added second light, so it should get interesting.

20/01 The top was too heavy and hanging sideways. Upper half is cut, leave the rest for another week 22/01 she smells like cookies in my brain, after 2 days in a jar + humid-pack. I upgraded my pipe... looking for extra parts... 24/01 Lower part is cut. Still trying her out day 4 ... Well, I feel baked that's for sure and it's not faked My pipe smells like I baked somethin in it 😅 Small harvest, 15-ish gram dry

🌱 Lemon Cherry Gelato Week 5 — 12/12 From Seed Stage: Pre-Flower / First Flower (Transitional Week) This week marks the true transition point. The plants are simultaneously vegetating, stretching, and initiating flower signals. Growth is active in all directions, and structure is beginning to lock in. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Structure & Growth • Height: ~25 cm (± a little, depending on individual) • Overall shape: flat, round, bushy canopy • Internodal spacing: tight and controlled • Branching: strong, symmetrical, and responsive The plants are opening beautifully. Branches are asserting themselves naturally, with no forcing — just guidance. Uniformity across the girls is striking. Similar structure, similar pace, similar “language.” That consistency speaks volumes about both genetics and environment. ⸻ ✋ Training Focus (More Intensive, Still Gentle) This week we increased training in intention, not aggression: • Leaf tucking and bending only • No topping, no cutting • Leaves are guided under growth tips to promote lateral branching Response has been excellent. Each adjustment is followed by visible compensation and expansion. The plants want to branch — we’re simply making space for it. ⸻ 🌱 Root Activity Roots are now visibly emerging at the soil surface — a clear sign of: • Healthy root pressure • Active microbial and enzymatic processes • A plant fully connected to its medium This is exactly what we want to see at this stage. ⸻ ✨ Plant Health & “Mood” • Leaves: healthy green, good turgor • Stems: thickening, flexible, well-supported • Resin: early stickiness already present • Overall response: calm, strong, cooperative Everything indicates balance rather than stress. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Update — Under-Canopy Introduction By the end of this week, under-canopy lighting is being connected. Why now? • Plants are passing key developmental signals • We want them to recognize photons from below early • This helps guide structure, awareness, and later flower density We are not forcing PPFD. We are letting the plants grow into the light, learning where energy exists above and below. ⸻ Nutrient Adjustment — Cal-Mag Introduced This week we introduce Cal-Mag into the recipe. Reason: Our water source is a blend of: • Humidifier water • Rainwater Both are naturally low in calcium and magnesium. As demand increases during stretch and early flower signaling, supplementation becomes necessary to: • Support cell wall development • Prevent future deficiencies • Maintain structural strength during expansion This is a preventive, not reactive adjustment. ⸻ 🌸 Autoflowers × 12/12 From Seed For anyone still questioning this approach: These plants are the answer. Branching. Structure. Vigor. Uniformity. They are doing everything they should be doing — and doing it beautifully. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next (Week 6) • Continued stretch with stronger apical definition • Clearer pre-flower expression • Increased lateral dominance • Canopy filling outward rather than upward • Light demand gradually increasing Training will remain observational and responsive, not aggressive. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words Thank you to everyone following along, observing, learning, and sharing this space. All major observations this week are fully photo- and video-documented — from canopy to stem to soil — so you can see what’s being described. We move forward calmly, attentively, and with respect for the plant. Let them shine 🌱✨ Training Philosophy: Why Less Touch Often Equals More Structure At this stage, training is not about control — it’s about communication. Every time we touch a plant, it responds hormonally. Too much intervention can interrupt its own decision-making process, especially during transitional weeks like pre-flower. By tucking and bending instead of cutting, we allow the plant to: • Maintain uninterrupted growth momentum • Redistribute auxins naturally rather than abruptly • Strengthen stems through adaptive response • Decide where and how to branch based on light signals Less touch doesn’t mean less guidance. It means clearer signals and cleaner structure. When the environment is stable and the plant is healthy, minimal intervention often results in: • More uniform branching • Stronger symmetry • Reduced stress expression • Better long-term flower support In short: We don’t force shape — we make space, and the plant does the rest. 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.
