Week 4, May 2 to 8/20**********Days 22 to 28 from germination********* Fighting pH with numbers of 7.1 still coming out after putting in 4.5 for days and never given over 6.1 from the start?? Its time to rule out the damn pots as the issue because there is simply nothing else left......coco with perlite flushed from the start.....feed never over 6.1?????? How is run off staying so high even after several waterings of 4.5pH. They are only three weeks when this issue became apparent. I had cut slits in the bottom of the pots to aid in further drainage???? I transplanted the Fast Buds girls into 3 gal plastic pots. They are fighting the pH issues more than the other girls and will I pick on the weaker ones.......unfortunately its these ones. Plus since GSC is a longer running strain In this grow I figured these girls may have the most time to make up from any shock. GSC went well and she came out of the fabric pot well and into the new one. They were both exactly 10” across so I cut the whole fabric pot in half with razor knife while holding together. First girl fell right down in and went okay!!!! Cool👍👍👍 GSC2 on the other hand had more of an F U attitude about it all😡 Followed the same process but she didn’t’ come right apart nicely like the first one. She fought one side of the pot and in hind sight I should have cut a plus symbol or star pattern in the bottom of the pot rather than just the one slice.......It wouldn’t give right on the bottom of the pot on one side. When it finally did the roots came up from the bottom and she was flipped inside the medium..........basically worst case scenario 🤬🤬🤬 So what can you do.......you show her some extra love❤️ and talk softly to her😚 and promise to make her healthy👊 and strong💪 and never to hurt her agian😍😍🤞 Little more detail......... May 2/20 - Day 22 - 2L feed for each girl with CalMag @ 0.5ml, Vitathrive, Sensyzime, Piranha, Voodoo, Dual Fuel @ 1ml = 625ppm and 5.0pH - runoff numbers: - GSC 590ppm with 7.3pH - GSC2 580ppm with 7.2pH - why so high damn it?? May 3/20 - Day 23 - 6L mixed with Vitathrive, VeloKelp, Sensyzime @ 2ml, Piranha, Voodoo @ 1ml = 165ppm and 5.0pH - 3L given to each girl. - GSC girls have perked up the last three days. - GSC2 is getting wider but not taller. - Runoff numbers: - GSC - 725ppm and 6.9pH - GSC2 - 650ppm and 6.8pH - thinking that cheap fabric pots are the issue with high pH I am going to transplant two of the four girls into plastic pots and see how that goes. - GSC transplant went well. - GSC2 transplant not so well.......she caught the edge coming out of the old pot and her root mass became all twisted😞😞😞 May 4/20 - Day 24 - dry out day and leave them alone after being so shook up yesterday. May 5/20 - Day 25 - gave a small plain water feed of 2L each with ph to 5.0 - water and left them alone again today. May 6/20 - Day 26 - Feed day again. 1.5L each for each girl with Dual Fuel, Vitathrive @ 1ml, CalMag, VeloKelp @ 0.5ml = 675ppm and 5.1pH - the girls are working through it......just give them time. May 7/20 - Day 27 - simple feed today with VeloKelp @ 1ml and Sensyzime @ 2ml = 165ppm and 5.0pH - each girl given 1L. - GSC is looking like she is fighting back and starting to see her increase in size. - GSC2 is also coming along because her dying leaves are also starting to perk up. - Did some some stem twisting on GSC to help strengthen her stock. May 8/20 - Day 28 - Dry out day - The girls are doing well with the Kelp and while they are not much bigger they look healthier! - GSC2 low branches are not sitting in soil anymore👍 Cheers Growmies........have a great week!!!!!

First day went as expected. I put the paper towel in a small see-thru plastic container and put it on the table. With a bit of water and the seeds in side, the germination has now started! Day 2 no progression, moved the tray into my furnace room (pitch black and warm) Day 3 major progression. I got them out and started to prep the jiffy pellets. Shortly after I transferred the roughly half inch tarp roots with seeds into the jiffy pellets, root down, seed up, slightly covered with dirt. I soaked them in water (like a beginner i overwatered heavily knowing what I know now). I placed them back in the tray and put them at a window for light. (Note) the plan was to do outdoor so no light or tent was ordered at this point. Day 4-7 not much progression seeing as the clouds and rain showed up...

Today started a new week and i decided to prune my two girls (topped on 6th July) and adjust the LST. They're growing well and I thought, why not? I'll switch to 12/12 when she's fully recovered, I think in two or three days. Happy growing ✌️🌱🌿🍁

Today is day 42 from seeds in soil. Just watering and defoliation this week. Stopped lst today as the tent is pretty much touching all walls. Plants looking good and growing fast. Only real issue is 1 in full flower, 3 close and one seems to still be in straight veg. Hopefully they all flip soon or going to cause me drying issues come time to harvest. Won't feed again again for a couple of weeks, just water and fish sh!t every other watering. So far so good.

Hi there! I decided to cut the other plant like I said. I wanted to try the FIM method and I actually missed and did it in two times cut! 😢 From now on plant #1 will be mentioned as FIM and plant #2 will be the TOP. Lst is a very interesting method and seem to work but I'm not totally sure if I do it right.

Nothing to really add, feels like everything is pretty dialed in. Watering more cause she’s very thirsty. Buds are starting to really fill out and trichomes are looking amazing

Die Pflanzen erholen sich sichtlich von den Strapazen der letzten Woche und zeigen nun eine gesunde Farbe sowie zahlreiche neue Blätter.. Ich gieße Aktuell mit 1L Wasser pro Pflanze und treibe sie nach Außen via Low Stress. Wenn diese am Rand sind lasse ich die Pflanzen an höhe gewinnen um eine schöne Krone zu erhalten.

What a journey guys, this King Louis Automatic has been the queen of main lining since the beginning, it has been noticed for a great response and ease of application of the technique. ** We remind all users that we grow two plants per variety, one worked with techniques and the other left to grow freely and splendidly to preserve its speed and classic Christmas tree shape in height. Description // This plant was worked with a main lining at the second internode, the two brunches of the mainfold were stretched for three internodes and then topped again. My mistake was to leave something too much, I could have removed something more below and on the sides and obtained bigger buds but even these long and tapered ones I have to say that they are not bad. In the end our Tower Buds are not bad at all but next time I will eliminate something more for sure below. Fertilizers and soil // We used Plagron's organic range of nutrients the whole time, all the recommended additives and the unfertilized and organic Pro Mix soil. Calculate everything to suit your needs on the website ------ https://plagron.com/ Nutrients are available in handy packs on the Zamnesia website --------- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html I love this strain, perfect for main lining! ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11238-zamnesia-king-louis-automatic-seeds.html Zamnesia Brief Description // Say hello to true royalty with King Louis Auto, an autoflowering version of the original King Louis. Bred from OG Kush, LA Confidential and a premium ruderalis cutting, King Louis Auto produces top-quality buds just a few weeks after germination. Plus, her small size and vigor make her perfect for almost any grow environment. Incredibly efficient King Louis Auto has inherited the best traits of her photoperiod cousin, all wrapped up in a fast and easy-to-grow seed. With good soil and adequate watering, King Louis Auto seeds will quickly grow into robust and vigorous plants. Once mature, these plants will not exceed 80cm indoors, meaning they can easily fit into even the smallest of grow spaces. Likewise, outdoor plants only reach 100cm, making this strain ideal for guerrilla grows or other environments where discretion is key. Furthermore, King Louis Auto only takes 9-10 weeks from germination to harvest, after which she will reward you with yields of up to 300g/m² indoors and 150g/plant outdoors. With its pungent terpenes and high THC levels, King Louis Auto offers a fragrant and relaxing experience. When you open your jars of bud, you will immediately notice intense scents of pine, damp earth and fragrant wood. After inhaling her equally complex smoke or vapor, you will be hit with a deep and relaxing body stone, perfect for those moments of well-earned rest and relaxation. With 24% THC, King Louis Auto is a real powerhouse. The whole world of growing and much more is at Zamnesia - just take a look at the site and you will find "the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colours. --------------- www.zamnesia.com

She’s growing well but less than the Zkittlez Auto from my other diary. She’s in pre-flower, shape is good, i’m waiting for a few advanced nutrients products since more than a month, i hope i’ll get these products quick but ain’t much stress because no nutrients deficiencies, but would be great to give them a boost, ✌️ 🍃

🐻 Animal Mints — Week 1 The Bear Awakens Grow Week: 1 (Seedling Stage) Additional Plant: One established plant (~15 days veg) Light Schedule: 12/12 from seed Environment: Same conditions as the rest of the room ⸻ 🌱 Medium & Containers This run includes multiple plants at different stages, all grown under the same environmental conditions: • PRO-MIX soil in fabric bags • Plagron soil in plastic pots One of the Animal Mints plants is approximately 15 days ahead, growing in a plastic pot with Plagron soil. The remaining plants are newly introduced seedlings growing in both PRO-MIX bags and plastic pots. All plants are receiving the same feeding and foliar regimen. ⸻ 🌿 Growth & Structure Animal Mints is showing a very distinctive growth pattern, clearly leaning toward the indica / indica-dominant hybrid side. • Broader, rounder leaves • Compact and sturdy structure • Strong lateral presence • Deep, healthy green coloration The more established plant is already on its fifth pair of leaves, showing excellent vigor, balance, and overall health. Growth is confident and stable, with no signs of stress. The younger plants are smaller by comparison, which is expected due to the difference in age, not due to environment, feeding, or genetics. ⸻ 🔍 Important Note (Plant Size Difference) This report includes one Animal Mints plant that is approximately 15 days older than the others. The size difference is intentional and expected, as this plant was germinated earlier and has been receiving the same care and nutrition throughout its vegetative life. All plants: • Share the same environment • Follow the same feeding program • Are growing without issues This setup allows for interesting comparisons later on as the younger plants catch up. ⸻ Vegetative Feeding & Foliar Program All Animal Mints plants — including the older one — are following the standard vegetative recipe used across the room: Root & Base Nutrition (Watering): • Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal Foliar Application: • Vita Race Applied flexibly once to twice per week, depending on plant response and overall mood of the grow. This is the same recipe the older plant has been receiving during its entire ~15-day vegetative period, which clearly shows in its strong structure and healthy development. ⸻ 🐾 Observations • Strong indica-leaning morphology • Compact internodes and rounded leaves • Excellent response to the vegetative feeding program • No deficiencies or stress signs observed • Both older and younger plants look healthy and vigorous Animal Mints feels calm, heavy, and grounded — very much living up to its name. ⸻ 🚀 What to Expect Next • Younger plants will begin accelerating growth • Structural comparison between early and later starts • Continued strong vegetative development • Potential early training considerations once size equalizes The bear is awake — and it’s growing with intention 🐻🌿 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 A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) 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.
