Looking beautiful this week. Getting some lovely fades on the white widows. The blue sherbets are really packing weight on and smell banging. Trichs now really milking up. Will just keep diluting the res with plain water this week to drop the ec slowly down before the final 5 day flush. Will also drop the res temps to try and shock them into a few more trichs.

The girls continue to fatten. Way down on the base nutes, hard nitrogen toxicity is showing. 1. Nitrogen toxicity. It was commented on my last grow question that the leaves on my Gorilla Glue grow looked like they were heavy in nitrogen. I did the research and it looks like they were correct. Dry crispy leaves, heavy dark green. They and now myself blame the full strength Advanced Nutrients, noting they are high in Nitrogen. 2. pH issues. I also started noticing a lockout isssues, like red stems. I initially thought it was a strain specific trait, but again was recommended to test my runoff - it came out around 4.5🤮 (on all my plants). Ive been watering heavy at 6.7 now with lime on top (also a new ph meter coming today). Hopefully will help. Regardless, this girl is still pushing energy into the buds and making some nice crystals. The powdery mildew issues is actually going quite well. Not very invasive, no longer leaf stripping either. Im using Safers brand 3 in 1. Placing a wet paper towel behind the leaf, i carefully spray it and wipe it down front and back. 1 week later no reoccurrence on those leaves.

2 kannabia / 2 Unknow for my first grow

And im in first flowering Week since last sunday, so far i really can't complain. Everything looks healthy and fine. Plant 3 is still kinda weaker/slower and Plant 4 seems to want to do some sativa things and grows up like hell but oh well, at least Plant 1 and 2 just grow as they should. This week i made the Bio Tabs compost tea for the first time and the plants seem to love it. Each one received 500ml if it. Can't wait to see the results at the end of the run. Again thanks to Bio Tabs for sending it out so i can test it. Humidity was pretty high because of constant rain this week, but it seems like i have made it through it, now just to make sure to finish this run before the summer heat will come. I removed a few leaves here and there because they were stacking or blocking light, i will defoliate in 1-2 weeks for real. Sadly Plant 4 needed an even higher stool then last weeks, so it's on the same height as the others. It was getting not enough light this deep down. That is also because why the scrog net does look like it does right now. I try to make it more "appealing" tonight, but i don't want to break anything and it works like it should right now, so yeah it looks stupid but it's alright. See you next week and thanks for all the likes and comments. 😍🙌

Hola amigos 😁 Vaya vaya, estas fotografías fueron tomadas apenas 5 días de 12/12 y se ven fenomenal, si estructura se comienza a ensanchar un poco y el ápice asoma ya brotes abarrotados 😎

# GMO Cookies Served with Extra Curiosity 🙂 — Week 13 | 12/12 From Seed Week 13 from seed. Or, if you prefer to count it like we do around here, around week 8 flower on this 12/12 from seed experiment. And honestly? This is one of those weeks where the room starts speaking for itself. Before anything else, a quick recap for everyone just joining the journey: This entire run was done under a 12/12 light cycle directly from seed. No traditional vegetative stage, no long recovery periods, no massive training sessions trying to force the plants into shape. Just letting the plant express itself naturally under flowering light conditions from the beginning, while guiding rather than controlling the process. The idea was never maximum yield at all costs. The idea was curiosity. Curiosity about morphology. Curiosity about structure. Curiosity about behavior. Curiosity about what happens when we step back a little and simply observe. And now, at week 13, the room is changing fast. The funny thing is that if we looked only at the environmental numbers, some people would probably panic immediately. Conditions are not exactly “by the book.” But the plants clearly did not read the same books, because they are reacting beautifully. That’s another reminder that context matters more than perfection, and observation matters more than blindly chasing charts. At this stage, we are basically doing almost nothing besides enzymes and patience. No feedings anymore. Just Pure Zym. Letting the plant finish the story herself. And you can see it everywhere now. The hairs are changing color. The trichome heads are maturing. The leaves are fading into yellows and lighter greens. The buds are swelling, getting heavier, denser, louder. This is no longer the “building” phase. This is the “finishing” phase. And honestly, it’s beautiful to watch. This week was also special because we took her into the studio for a proper photo session. We slowed down, shared some medicine, observed the details, looked at the flowers under different lights, different angles, different moods. Some plants stop feeling like “projects” near the end and start feeling more like personalities, and this GMO definitely has that energy. Not harvested yet though. Close. Very close. But not yet. This is one of those important weeks where observation matters more than action. There’s a temptation near the finish line to interfere too much, but right now the plant is telling us clearly to simply watch, smell, learn, and wait a little longer. The fade happening across the room feels completely aligned with the moment: - minimal feeding, - end-of-life expression, - natural senescence, - energy redistribution, - and final ripening. Nothing feels forced. Nothing feels rushed. And that’s probably the best part of this entire run. Now the big question becomes: Will the next report be the harvest report? Honestly… maybe. 😄 We are extremely close now, but we still want to let the plant tell us when she’s truly ready instead of harvesting according to impatience or calendar numbers alone. The next few days will be mostly observation: - trichome development, - flower density, - aroma evolution, - overall plant posture, - and that final “feeling” growers know when a plant is almost done speaking. As always, huge love to everyone following this strange and beautiful little experiment. To Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron for the support. To GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys. To the community. To the curious ones. To the skeptical ones. To the longtime followers and OGs. To the people discovering the diary today. To the silent viewers. To the supporters. To the critics. To everyone. Seriously — thank you. At the end of the day, this was never just about growing flowers. It was about sharing the process, the observations, the mistakes, the experiments, the learning, the calm moments, and the curiosity behind all of it. Wishing everyone healthy plants, peaceful minds, good harvests, and a little extra curiosity on their own journeys too. 🌱 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Pheno 1 der Gigant riecht sehr säuerlich fruchtig und hat eine ganz andere Knospenstruktur. Vom Geruch her ist Pheno 1 von den beiden mein favorit...guckt auf meine harvest woche da sind neue Bilder drinne after two weeks curing pheno 2 😉🌿✂️

Hola así vamos terminando la tercera semana de floración de este seguimiento de clones y semillas , las encuentro bastante rápida para la formación de flores y pegaron un estirón bastante bueno , tengo una Sugar Black Rose ( la más alta del fondo izquierdo ) que se espigo más que todas le he realizado 2 cropping pero sigue de todas formas levantándose hacia la luz .- La producción de tricomas es bastante buenas y los olores son muy agradables . . . . Hello, so we are finishing the third week of flowering of this clone and seed monitoring, I find them quite fast for the formation of flowers and they hit a pretty good stretch, I have a Sugar Black Rose (the highest one on the left bottom) that spikes more I've all done 2 cropping but still getting up towards the light. The production of trichomes is quite good and the smells are very pleasant.

As I said, she has become a single fat dense and sticky main cola, very compacted, looks like it's just 1 huge fat nugget. Very nice aroma but not stinky at all. I'm enjoying her, she's not very big but she's literally a single big fat nugget.

The week is going great I have the heat at the right spot and humidity I have given them a second feed of Miicrobial mass/ Grow Diaries is knew to me so I will have to get use to these weekly updates. Thank you for your patients

Sticky and loud is all I can say! Hopefully whatever damage and burn I have doesn’t hurt my buds too much l! But otherwise they’re stacking up well! Couple more weeks to go!

Day 51 - 1F - Trimmed up most fan leaves and lower nodes. Used some low stress training to keep the canopy low and even then lowered SCROG netting to start training through flowering stretch. Took a couple clones as well (not sure if i'll grow them out yet or not - just wanted to try my new fog cloner i built.

Feliz com o retorno das meninas que revegetaram na 3 semana de floração. Ficaram por 15 dias com luz 24h. Agora já estão novamente com 3 semanas de 12x12. Recuperação Ok. Mas devem ficar com aspecto de rabo de raposa no final da floração.

Hey folks, I'm finally back at it again. It took me a while for a couple of reasons: 1) I usually only grow in the winter. 2) I completely revamped my grow room after the issues I ran into with the last setup. 3) It took me a while to brainstorm exactly what I wanted to do. I bought these seeds from D.C. Seeds and was very pleased with the experience. I'm very happy to give business to a fellow American and Veteran. I've only ever purchased seeds from the UK in the past and that experience has been "dodgy" to say the least (not the vendors fault, but the transit). I've only ever grown photo's, but chose to go with all auto's moving forward. After calculating the intensity of my current light, with it being on a 20/4 rotation I'm very close to hitting 40 moles per day, at least directly under the light. It doesn't quite cover my 2' x 5' trellis. I'll eventually upgrade my light, but auto's should get me the best bang for my buck with this light. Also, I spent a pretty penny building this new grow room. The other obvious reason for growing auto's is their shorter seed to harvest time. I've got a small grow area, and never plan on expanding. Theoretically, auto's will allow me to produce the most out of my room. A few things about my grow room: 1) I lined the whole closet with 1/2" plywood and put that piece of ply the air intake/outtake/power as the divider between each side of the closet 2) The grow room itself has ply on all wall surfaces so I could mount stuff to it and paint it 3) The other side of the closet is my storage/prep/power distribution/etc. area. Maybe I'll take a pic one of these days 4) My last grow my carbon filter/fan was venting into the other side of the closet. This created a headache for a number of reasons. I tapped a 4" hole through the floor and am now venting into my crawl space below the house. 5) I moved to bubbleponics to speed up my grows even more. I will be removing the drip system once the roots hit the water in the res. 6) The larger res. will hopefully make my life much easier. Late in the last grow I could only fit 3 gallons of water in the bucket and that sucker was pounding down at least a gallon a day. That required too much micro-managing for me (both ph and refills). 7) I no longer have a fixed trellis with chicken wire. The trellis is held in place by dowels that I can pull out by hand. The short sides of the trellis have hinges on the bottom, so I can fold it and pull it out easy-mode. Lastly, I'll be using string for the trellis so come harvest all I have to do is cut the string instead of dealing with trying not to destroy buds pulling them through chicken wire (it takes forever). 8) I built a light diffuser on the other side of the air intake 9) My res. is on a motorcycle lift I'm using a drill to move up and down I have now started using Jack's as my primary nutes. They tell you the full break-down of each macro and micro nute, giving me more control and understanding. I think House & Garden is a good product, but when stuff goes bad it's more difficult to troubleshoot when you have no idea what each piece of their full lineup contains. I'm assuming it's kind of a proprietary type thing, which I understand, but knowledge is power. I am still using their Drip Clean (while the bubbler is going) and Roots Excelurator Silver, both excellent products. I'm still using Hydroguard, and will FOREVER. I'm a true believer now of why Hydroguard is necessary for any hydro application, IMO. I also purchased water soluble fulvic acid, but have decided not to use it for this grow....or at least while the bubbler is going (I'll elaborate below). Ok...now that all that is out of the way.... I really wanted to use my well water instead of R/O to make my life easier. Soooo....I filled up my res., and put two seeds in the system immediately. Nothing happened after 1 1/2 weeks. I finally opened up the cubes and saw that the beans had popped, but it looked like maybe I drowned them, or they ddin't grow straight up or something. For round two, I didn't change the water out, and decided to soak the beans for 24 hours in R/O water first. I had the exact same problem. I'm still not really sure what happend, but I suspect it was the well water. My PPMs were sitting at ~500 with the well water, which was probably too spicy for the beans just starting. Also, my well water is questionable (even though it's at 165ppm), but I won't elaborate further....it's a long ass story and I've spent an absurd amount of money on it. Lastly, I did put the Fulvic acid in, and it was very messy. I really want to avoid having to clean my res. Once the roots get big it will be a real pain in the ass to clean. I'm leaning towards not using the Fulvic acid this grow just to see how things go. I had 10 beans total of the Sour Apple and have already ruined 4. So here's hoping third times the charm. So, I went back to my tried and true method: 0) R/O water for everything. Ditching the well water idea. 1) Soak beans in R/O water for 24 hours 2) Paper towel method between plates on a heating mat 3) Once the roots pop, I place them pointed down in the hole of the rockwool cube 4) Hand water once a day by dipping the cube in the pre-mix of 1/4 strength Jack's and everything else I've listed above. This put my PPMs at 300...a way more reasonable value for starts. It's been exactly 7 days since I followed the above. It's probably hard to see but the cotyledons came up, and multiple roots have come out the bottom of the cubes....way faster than I've ever seen since I started growing. That means even though I'm doing my old process this already shaved at least a week off of when I'd normally put it in my bucket in the past.

The week has been better than expected,,in the way of The Pinapple Express Auto bean from 420 Fastbuds popping and dropping her helmet in just 3 days,which was a great way to start,,! At the same time,,I’ve managed to hit the temperature and humidity levels that i like to grow in,,🌱🙏

1/22 And another week in the books. Included some CalMag more for just in case than anything. May leave topping at once as side nodes coming up quickly and don't want them passing the center. 1/29 Pics to end week Growing well raised lights to promote some stretch

The flowers are getting bigger and more resinous. Unfortunately, the plant has spider mites, which is why ladybugs and pest predators are also being used. I hope this will at least save the plant to some extent. Flowering day: 30

still in this b*tch
