Week 14 from seed, and these Lemon Cherry Gelato girls really turned into something special. Not monsters in height, but absolutely massive in presence, density, structure, and expression. The kind of plants that surprise you when you finally grab the branches in your hands and realize how much weight and resin they actually built under a 12/12-from-seed run. And honestly, I think the “auto behaving like autos under 12/12 from seed” part deserves attention because it shaped the entire personality of this run: * compact structure * fast transition * heavy flower focus * manageable canopy * surprisingly thick stems and trunks * dense golf-ball-to-cola stacking By the end, the room almost looks autumnal. Deep yellows, oranges, fading greens, and swollen frosty flowers everywhere. That late-flower fade came in fast, but beautifully — and this is important to explain clearly because newer growers often panic when they see this. This wasn’t a deficiency disaster. This was the plant reaching the end of its natural cycle. As flowering progresses, especially late flower, the plant starts mobilizing stored nutrients from the leaves into the flowers. Nitrogen gets depleted first, chlorophyll breaks down, greens disappear, and the underlying pigments begin showing: * yellows * golds * oranges * reds/purples depending on genetics And because feeding had already been reduced heavily while the plants kept drinking aggressively, the fade accelerated naturally. The girls were essentially finishing themselves. You can actually SEE the energy redistribution in the photos: * leaves fading while buds stay swollen * pistils maturing * resin production peaking * calyxes stacking harder * stems thickening under weight And speaking of weight… those broken branches tell the story by themselves. No need to exaggerate anything there. When branches literally split under flower mass, especially in a relatively compact plant, you know the density became real. That stem split photo is beautiful because it captures the moment where biology and gravity start negotiating with each other. The trunk shots are wild too. Putting the Clipper lighter next to the base was honestly a perfect scale reference. You can immediately understand: “Okay… these girls drank for a reason.” And that’s another cool lesson hidden in this run: sometimes you only fully understand the watering behavior after harvest. Once the skeleton is exposed, the entire hydraulic system suddenly makes sense. Now onto harvest and drying. You made the right call not drying the entire plant whole in this case. These girls were dense. Breaking them into branches gives: * safer airflow * more even drying * lower mold risk * easier environmental control Especially with chunky late-flower flowers like these. The drying target sounds excellent too: * roughly 18–20°C * around 60% RH after the initial moisture release * gentle airflow, never directly blasting flowers And lowering humidity slightly during the first 24–48h to help the surface moisture escape before stabilizing is a very sensible move with dense material like this. Now the charas section is honestly one of the most beautiful parts of the update because it connects modern indoor cultivation to something ancient and human. Just handling fresh branches gave enough live resin to coat the fingers — technically charas, because it comes from fresh living plant material. That’s different from classic “finger hash” made during dry trimming. The distinction is subtle but important: * Charas = resin collected from fresh/live cannabis * Finger hash = resin collected while handling dried/cured material And charas has deep cultural and spiritual roots, especially in India and Nepal. For centuries, people in regions like the Parvati Valley and Himalayan foothills have hand-rubbed living cannabis plants to collect resin. Traditional makers — including sadhus and local hash makers — slowly work the flowers between the palms until thick dark resin accumulates on the skin, later rolled into temple balls or cream charas. Malana Cream became one of the most famous examples of this style: * handmade * live plant resin * mountain-grown cannabis * deeply tied to local culture and geography And yes, Lord Shiva is strongly connected to cannabis traditions in Hindu culture. Chillums, charas, bhang preparations, and ritual use all became intertwined historically with spirituality, celebration, meditation, and ascetic traditions. The bhang lassi mention is also a nice touch because many people outside India don’t realize cannabis has existed there culturally for centuries in forms beyond smoking alone. It adds depth to the update without glorifying anything artificially — more like acknowledging the historical relationship humans have had with this plant. Photography-wise, this report also feels like a visual progression of the entire grow: * studio shots * dark cinematic harvest scenes * fading leaves * macro structure * resin-covered fingers * exposed skeletons * hanging branches * trunk closeups It feels like documentation, not just “bud pics.” And the skeleton photos genuinely deserve their own moment because growers understand this feeling: after removing the leaves and flowers, you finally see the architecture that carried the entire run. Pure timber everywhere. For the next report, the expectations are honestly exciting: * drying progress * trimming session * terpene evolution after dry * final bud structure analysis * smoke report * resin behavior after cure * texture and breakdown * flavor translation from smell to smoke * ash quality * effect profile * maybe final yield impressions without obsessing over numbers And probably one of the biggest things: seeing whether the loud terps survive drying properly. Because right now, these girls ARE LOUD. And finally, yeah — thank everyone. The genetics. The nutrients. The LEDs. The environment. The gear. The platform. The old followers. The silent followers. The new people arriving now. The skeptics. The supporters. The people learning quietly in the background. A grow diary becomes more than a plant journal after enough weeks. It turns into a shared timeline people follow together. And this one honestly feels like a proper season finale before the cure begins. 📡 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.

Great week all seemed to recover from transplant and lst! With new growth coming in No more signs of any knats either wich is awesome hopefully thats gone. Trying to keeping main branches at 10inches so i just lst them as needed DDS are way more resilient when it comes to training choco i dint have ti adjust much or many

Currently checking daily and tying away branches/leaves to give the buds more light and watering when the soil is dry. Currently my plants drink exactly 1,5L a day. I have the feeling that the right plant is lacking a bit of potassium. I'll leave everything as it is for now because the left plant (fresh new soil) is growing well. Since the right plant is quite bushy anyway, I'll defoliate it again later and remove any lower shoots. I started adding the Bio PK booster towards the middle of the first week of flowering, 2ml per liter of water; as the pH value drops too much, I correct it upwards with Biobizz pH up - from pH 5.5 to 6.5 for 3L, I add a total of 39 drops. My water is mixed as follows: 3L osmosis water, plus 6ml CalMag, 6ml BioPK 5-8 and 39 drops of pH + BioBizz.

Skunk apple runtz I'm probably only going to keep 1 of these guys seeing the 2nd just has really bad growth so far. I'm sad about this I made this cross out my last grow and was hoping for the better end of things. The other plants is decent but we will see I hope it has the growth pattern of the lit farms Rick bobby and the bud structure of the obama runtz I grew It's looking like a good start to a week the plants are strong they are getting to the point I can let the dried dry out completely. I'm thinking by the end of this week the plants will be starting to be sold. Last week I put all the plants into my bigger 2x4 tent with my medicgrow mini sun 2 the 500w version. Only a few of the plants were ready for that light. Seems like the only plants that really have good resistance and have a strong start are the weedseedsexpress.com seeds. Shout out to weedseedsexpress.com for the strong plants. I ended up putting all the plants back into my 2x2 tent with the 55w amazon light it has alot more blue light in its spectrum. It's kinda weird b4 I switched the plants to the 2x4 tent they were getting 220umol under my amazon 55w led then when I put them under the 500w light 25% strength about 50in from plants and they were getting only about 195umol in that tent but it was stressing most the plants. I assume a larger light has more side lighting hitting the plants. I think when useing larger lights it's good to measure umols from the top but also coming from the sides. I think durring seedling stage they only need about 50% the umols coming from the side the plants as the top is receiving. When I put the plants back in the small tent about the same umols as they were getting b4 the switch and they were still a little stressed. So for a few days I put the small light at the top the tent giving them 100umols for a few hrs then 130umols the rest the day.

Blue is now around 30 cm tall. I don't think she'll catch up with the others, but we'll do our best. However, since she's been getting fish mix, you can see that she's growing better. Perhaps I should have started giving her protein earlier. Keep it IZI 💚

43 DÍAS DESDE SU GERMINACIÓN.

Will post more pictures and thoughts after, it’s done drying and curing

Muy contento para ser el primer cultivo, se que los resultados se pueden mejorar mucho, pero incluso con todos los problemas que han sufrido las plantas, al final he obtenido unos resultados con los que estoy muy satisfecho.

Todo esta semana salió mal, primero se me descalibró el medidor de ec, el tanque de agua estaba a más de 3 ec, lo bueno es que me di cuenta rápido y apenas se mostró excesos en la planta. Hoy se me callo el foco lec encima de esta dañando 2 ramas. No fue mucho pero si que lo notara y espero que el lec esté nuevo . Demasiado bien iba este cultivo jj

Hallo zusammen 🤙. So das war es habe sie abgeschnitten am 86 Tag. Sie riecht sehr stark nach Blumen und süß irgendwie 🤤.

- Streching is ended. - Just like last week, humidity has been a very big problem in Berlin due to multiple storms and heat waves this week as it spiked between 50-85 % outside whole week. - VPD fluctuated this week between 1,0 and 1.65 kPa , averaging at 1,29 kPa. Better than last week because of the crazy heat wave covering huge humidity. - Tent temperature fluctuated around 24 at night and 27-28 Celsius at day time, averaging at 25.2. A lot higher than last week even though I have increased the exhaust fan speed but that’s all my exhaust fan can handle. - Humidity fluctuated crazy between 50-85% this week, averaging at 59.8. Not much I can do other than trusting the non-stop ventilation in the tent. - This week, I kept giving increased Ph (6.8) of water first half of the week as the medium Ph is still cruising under 6. But then I switched to 6.5 on the 2nd half of the week. - Much more frosting can be observed on Chemical Bride. - White pistils are slowly turning orange on both plants and the flowers are gaining mass. - Both have a similar pleasent gummy smell. - I believe that Kings Kush is not as capable as Chemical Bride in terms of heat and humidity resistance. My observation is that Chemical Bride is a week ahead already. But let’s see!! - This week, I will add a dehumidifier to the setup.

The plant is growing strong. I have to change the wires in order to follow the plant growing. Seems quite hard because there is no soil to attach hooks. So i am thinking to build something that might work better for main lining on hydroponics.

Bonjour les amis, Les températures ont enfin baissé. Mais une autre canicule arrive bientôt. J'ai penché cette plante pour que le développement soit plus uniforme. J'ai fixé un petit bambou tout de la hauteur la plante et attaché en plusieurs points. Ensuite j'ai penché la plante un peu plus chaque jour. Elle n'a pas l'air d'avoir souffert. Plusieurs grandes feuilles ont déjà jaunies, je pense que c'est sac de 7 litres est vraiment trop petit, il exige des arrosages très proches. Les fleurs sont déjà bien volumineuses, la plante rentre dans sa dernière phase de floraison. J'ai ajouté environ 2g de trikologic. Voilà pour l'instant, merci pour votre visite, M.

The plant has continued to stretch into this week and I don't think it's going to stretch anymore it looks like it's starting to build up their flowers. The plant does not need a lot of nutrients in fact it's not one of those very hungry just a standard diet will be sufficient thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la segunda semana de vida de estas Tropicana poison F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío , las 4 semillas que germinaron con éxito se colocaron en macetas de 0.6 litros y asomaron 4, 100% ratio germinado. Realmente voy a necesitar 3 plantas así que retiraré la más pocha. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 18h de luz, el foco está al 75% de potencia. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Vegeta para llenar espacios y a florar

2026-03-07 its so much fun to enter this Room, Girls are radiant, they are Lush green and happy! There is no big Differnece at all in all Pots sitting happy Girls at the moment iam brewing a Composttea, and last week they had a Topdress some Myco and bactrex so the Micorbiological Envoirement stays fresh The Sonnenerde Bio Hanferde matches very well with Biotabs, and especially with the Autopots its such an easy and effortless gardening Substrate Experiment Currently testing two different substrates: • Terra Preta (local recycled brand) — the usual "go-to" soil • Sonnenerde Bio Hemp Soil — being tested this grow; will also be recycled and refreshed with Biotabs products afterward So far there is no significant difference between the two substrates, which is a positive result. Switching growing mediums is always a risk, so the outcome is reassuring. Feeding & Maintenance Plan • Refreshing mycorrhiza and microbes with Mycotrex and Bactrex • Applying compost tea to all plants • If any deficiencies appear: top-dress with Silicium Flash • Continuing the "just add water" strategy otherwise Setup & Method The plants are growing in an Autopot system using the Biotabs "just add water" strategy. Setup process: 1. Mix in Startrex 2. Add Silicium Flash 3. Add Biotabs tablets 4. Add Mycotrex 5. Water with Bactrex This turns any soil into a living, active growing medium. Combined with Autopot, it acts as a cheat code for effortless growth — resulting in large, healthy plants with an excellent and flavorful end product.
