Hello, it’s another week report. All plants grew in height like nuts and gained aprox. 20 cm. The AMG’s Sativa genetics is now coming to all its shine and she’s much bigger compared to Green gelatos. They’ve came into the flowering stage and I expect some big buds as they will be developing. Thanks everybody to stopping by šŸ™šŸ¤Ŗ Happy growing. Update: made another photo in the tent - what a lovely view. I could sit and enjoy watching these ladies. Have my fingers crossed for AMG to slowly stop growing to the top of my tent šŸ€

Day 3 of flower & these ladies are stretching great! We are having a bit of a calmag Deficiency right now but currently in the process of trying to fix it so hopefully they bounce back! The Gelato OG from seedsman is a monster to only be 42 days old not sure if I just got a good pheno or what happened but compared to the other gelato beside it from the same bag it looks like a completely different plant! Can’t wait to see how the buds turn out!

Quinta semana de vida para esta planta, el crecimiento vertical es muy lento, por contra parece que ha ganado en robustez, las hojas no presentas carencias y parece que el trasplante ha salido bien. Para mi gusto esta planta comenzó a florear muy pronto, tengo curiosidad por ver en que se convierte esta planta, tal vez estĆ© cultivando un bonsai 😬 El dĆ­a 30 de cultivo tuve que aplicar neem y tierra de diatomeas por el peligro de aliens que aparecieron en otro cultivo del mismo armario, de momento la plaga estĆ” totalmente controlada. ContinĆŗo recuperando el agua consumida con soluciones de multi componentes orgĆ”nicos, mantengo un rango bajo de humedad en maceta con el fin de que las raĆ­ces crezcan buscando humedad. El riego inicial para esta planta es de 300ml, en base a esta cifra y mediante pesos diarios de la maceta, sĆ© el consumo exacto de agua. šŸ˜Ž DIETA SEMANAL: 1) DĆ­a 32. Ormus 1%, Biol de frutas MMM 2%, Hidro humus 1%, Melaza y vinagre. PH: 6 EC: 1. 50ml. 2) DĆ­a 33. Ormus, 1%, MMA 1%, Hidro Humus 1% y Melaza. PH: 5.9 EC: 1. 50ml. 3) DĆ­a 34. Ormus 1,5%, Bio frutas 2%, Auxinas liquidas 8%, Miel, Vinagre, Hidro sangre 0,5%, Humato P 1%. PH: 5.8 EC: 1.1. 58ml. 4) DĆ­a 35. Ormus 1%, Bio frutas NPK 3%, Melaza y vinagre. PH: 6.3 EC: 1.3. 50ml. 😳 GROWING TIP: • Esta semana estreno una nueva solución nutritiva para la etapa vegetativa y preflora NPK, se trata de un Lacto fermento que he tenido 40 dĆ­as en fermentación anaeróbica, compuesto por: 19 frutas y vegetales seleccionados por sus propiedades, 4 minerales, BAL, Melaza, levadura, suero de leche, guanos y harinas animales. En esta ocasión, a diferencia de otras, he licuado o triturado las frutas y verduras en un intento de conseguir una descomposición de los componentes mucho mĆ”s rĆ”pida. Hasta la próxima semana. Salud!!

Tequila Sunrise - Week 9: ”Nuggets of Hope Under the Brandenburg Sun! ”Hola from the land of sunshine, amigos! This week's been a real turn-around for our Tequila Sunrise! Seems like Mother Nature finally got the memo and decided to crank up the heat. All that sunshine has been a welcome change, and our little señorita is definitely basking in its glory. The most exciting part? hose flower buds are starting to look downright delicious! They're getting nice and dense already, packing on trichomes like there's no tomorrow. This is where things get interesting, though. With all this sunshine comes the threat of rain and humidity, which could spell trouble for those tight nugs. We'll have to keep a close eye on things and maybe even improvise a little rain shelter if needed. But hey, that's all part of the adventure, right? Speaking of adventure, the slug war seems to be a distant memory. Those plastic chair thrones are proving to be a fortress of solitude for Tequila Sunrise! No slimy visitors have dared to breach its defenses. Victory is sweet, my friends! However, it wouldn't be a proper telenovela without a little subplot, would it? Looks like a few sneaky weeds decided to join the party in Tequila Sunrise's pot. No worries, though, they'll be evicted faster than you can say "fiesta foul." We can't have any unwanted guests stealing the spotlight from our main star! And the star of the show is definitely looking frosty, amigos! Those buds are getting a beautiful coat of trichomes, sparkling like diamonds in the sun. To give you a closer look at the battle scars and the frosty magic happening, I even put together a little video. Check it out and let me know what you think! Things are definitely looking up for Tequila Sunrise! With a little sunshine and a whole lot of good vibes from all you growmies, she might just surprise us with a decent harvest after all. Stay tuned for next week's update.

🌸 Week 6 Flower – Gelonade Diaries The Gelonade girls continue their elegant dance into flower, both Pheno #1 and Pheno #2 shining in their own unique way. Their structures remain remarkably similar, tall, strong, and full of energy, while each holds onto her own personality, expressed in leaf form and flower shape. This week we noticed a few small spots on the leaves. Nothing dramatic, nothing to sound alarms about, but enough to remind us that plants, like people, sometimes whisper when they need something. It could be calcium, it could be another minor imbalance, but the key is observation. We’ll keep a close eye, watching for patterns, listening to what the girls want to tell us, and adjusting gently if needed. 🌱 Quick Recap (For Those Just Joining) From the start, this run has been about detail and care. • Germination was clean and quick, the girls leaping from seed into life. • Veg was marked by strong branching, healthy leaves, and the unforgettable funky unicorn foliage of Pheno #2. • Transplanting into super soil and fabric pots gave them the room to spread their roots and breathe. • The shift into flower was smooth, guided by careful lighting, steady feeding, and a balance of Aptus and Plagron nutrients. • Weeks 4 and 5 saw sativa-like stretch, white hairs bursting across every cola, and canopy lights filling every corner with photons. Now here we are in Week 6: the garden maturing, the flowers stacking, the personality of the genetics truly revealing itself. šŸ’§ Feeding & Balance The recipe continues to revolve around Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost, Top Booster, and Plagron’s Power Buds, Sugar Royal, and Green Sensation, with Aptus All-In-One Liquid helping tie the orchestra together. We’re keeping EC balanced, always mindful that the soil already provides a strong foundation. šŸ’” What’s Happening & What’s Next This week is all about observation. Flowers are swelling, resin begins to sparkle in early traces, and aromas start to hint at what’s to come. What to expect: denser buds, richer pistil coloration, and a canopy that will soon demand defoliation for airflow. What not to expect: miracles overnight. This is the stage of patience, where the magic brews quietly within each calyx. šŸ’š Closing Thought The Gelonades remind us that growth is rarely flawless. A spot on a leaf is not a failure, but a message. Perfection isn’t the goal, balance is. And balance is exactly what these girls are showing us week after week. May the flowers swell with grace, may the leaves whisper their truths, and may the grower’s patience be rewarded in full bloom. PS: Understanding Foxtailing One of the girls, our Pheno #2, is starting to show signs of foxtailing. For those new to the term, foxtailing refers to when buds grow in elongated, irregular patterns instead of stacking neatly into the dense, conical shape we often expect. The result is a flower that looks ā€œspikyā€ or ā€œfunky,ā€ almost as though the plant is growing multiple little towers from a single cola. Why does this happen? There are two main sides to the story: • Genetic Foxtailing: Some strains naturally express this trait, especially sativa-leaning hybrids. In this case, foxtailing is simply part of the plant’s personality, often leading to extra surface area for resin glands, which can even mean more trichomes and aromas. • Environmental Foxtailing: Stress factors can also trigger it — high heat, intense light (too much PPFD), or shifts in feeding can encourage buds to keep stacking in odd ways rather than finishing their round formation. In our case, the temperatures have sometimes pushed higher than ideal, and the lights are running strong, so those factors might play a role. But genetics also carry a heavy influence, and Gelonade — being sativa-leaning, can naturally lean toward these elongated flower expressions. Is foxtailing a problem? Not at all. While it can look unusual compared to the ā€œtextbookā€ cola shape, it doesn’t reduce quality. In fact, it can increase flower mass and surface resin coverage, giving us more material and potentially more complex aesthetics. Some growers even treasure it as a unique expression of their plant’s individuality. So while Pheno #2 may look a little funky, we see it as a gift, more fruit, more character, more story to tell. This is the garden’s way of reminding us that beauty doesn’t always fit a mold, and that variation is part of the magic of growing. šŸ“² Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Just starting to flower 😃 This week I foliar sprayed ChitoSal and Rubicon Marinis to help transition to flower. I also added nets to the rest of the plants since we've had crazy storms lately but they hole their own quite well. Roughly 30 gallons of soil inside cages wrapped in plastic about a foot and a half high amended with 3 cups Gaia 4-4-4 and 2 cups Gaia 2-8-4 and 2 cups Gaia Feather Meal 13-0-0. Topped up each month with a cup of each as well as worm casting/soluble kelp/molasses compost tea once a week. Also Fish Shit amendment added at recommended doses. Orange Kush Cake, Cherry Gar-See-Ya, Mac 'n Jack, Crescendo Rbx1 are all Ethos genetics at 25-35% THC Blue Afghan is from Jordan Of The Islands. Recieved clones in the mail in early May. Happy Growing 😌

I started the GSC seeds from HSC by soaking in a glass of water overnight then planted in coco coir under a humidity dome in my veg tent. I will plant them in flower box in a couple weeks when they can handle the feed that my BB clone is on right now. On day 5 my 2 other Gsc seeds rotted perhaps too wet but I have one good remaining for this run. I started White widow seeds and will run 2 phenos. Gsc is looking good so far.

Great easy grow, took well to led grow and nutrients never needed to step back. Needed support fairly early on in grow. Heavy flowers not massive but I guess loaded with oils and good stuff. No apple smell or taste with these two phenos at all. Both super heavy chem affairs. One however tastes a lot like gorilla glue, it is one of the parents. This cultivar has shot straight to the top of my lists of grow again. It’s pure fire.

Hey Friends, end of Week 10 from seed Colas are looking Very nice Noticed some orange color on some leaf tips so I lowered the amount nutrition when feeding I used a magnifier to have a closer look at the colas, trichomes used to looked like little crystals, now they are bigger and cloudy. So far no amber coloring on trichomes I need some advice as to when I should begin flushing and harvest Smell is slowly getting stronger, like a muffin with a small touch of gas ā›½ļø Looking Forward in seeing some bud growth in the following week, will keep you guys posted!

Day 80, 22nd of October 2020: 3rd week of flowering! Happiness she needs a lot of boost hard to keep up. She loves fertilization too much..... I mean before always craving for nitrogen now qould need more potassium and phosphorus hard to keep up. I also detect deficiency based on the leaves getting lighter and brown spots but I do feed her as much as I can really. This week i have relised the first nice trichomes started "sitting" on the leaves as well and the pistils coming out nicely pre flowers forming. Let's go.

This was be a very good week 'cause PK šŸhas not suffered for transplant neither for high temps of the day (avg 80 °F peak 87 °F) and the cold of the night (48.2 °F). These are the last days of the seedling stage. I have noticed a very initial N deficiency, a consequence of the last few days in pots. For now I will not fertilize it, I have confidence in the quality of the soil. Forecasts are very bad for the next 4 days so I have built a temporary greenhouse with PVC film. Weed stimulates creativity! šŸ’”

Another week closer.... These girls have been a pleasure to grow so far they love everything you can give them ...no deficiencies no problems.....earlier in the week a slight tip burn but after 2 days they adjusted and ask for more.....as they are eating up the nutrients I am replacing and upping it each time...pushing these girls and they are showing there love....17 days since I switched the light and they are filling in nicely. Until next week, smoke a fatty, help out you're fellow grower
