Hello Growmies, Week 14 has blossomed before us, and the unfolding story of the grow is nothing short of inspiring. The buds have ceased their stretch and have entered a stunning phase of swelling, with each day bringing more fullness. A palette of purple is now washing through the colas, hinting at the rich tapestry of flavors that awaits. It's a visual feast, and I can't help but feel this might be one of the most beautiful plants I've had the privilege to cultivate. Continuing with a steady rhythm, she receives 4 liters of nutrient solution every four days, sustaining her needs seamlessly. This grow has been a testament to the fire-and-forget approach, with the plant's robust health and vigorous growth doing all the talking. With both light spectrums blazing at 100%, she's now basking in the full 270 watts of power. Impressively, she's thriving under this intense light, demonstrating her strength and vitality. I've also captured the PAR readings from various heights, showcasing her remarkable light absorption: - The tallest colas stand under an impressive 1,271 and 1,326 μmol/m²/s. - The mid-canopy level measures a healthy 822 μmol/m²/s. - Down at the Scrog level, we're still seeing a substantial 522 μmol/m²/s. These numbers reflect the careful tuning of our light setup, ensuring that every part of the plant is receiving the energy it needs. This grow has been a journey of minimal stress and maximum reward. The ease with which this plant has flourished is a true joy, and sharing each update with you has added to the experience. As we move closer to harvest, the excitement is undeniable. If the appearance and growth rate are anything to go by, we are in for quite a treat. Stay tuned for next week's update as we continue to nurture and admire the magnificent development of this plant.

All pictures were taken on day 43 She is definitely in 1st week of flowering and stretched a lot the last couple of days I gave her 600ml tap water with 1ml/l BioBloom, 1ml/l TopMax, 0.3ml/l BioGrow added end of the week

I finally figured out the issue with this one. She absolutely hates the hot weather. The heat causes her to switch to veg, which isn’t awful. She switched back and forth twice now and has stalled in whatever this is. Pros and cons! Pros, she’s added nodes and will now pack up a lot more weight. It’s looking like it’s going to be a monster yeild! Cons, she added 3 weeks into the grow I will not have where I live. Frost will be here every night in about 4-5 weeks. I lined up a spot with an hps light to finish up. It’ll be a scary drive, but im going to make this happen. No way im abandoning hope. Seedsman has proved to me that they have very good genetics. Every plant I’ve grown from them is impressive. Would recommend if you’re on the fence.

🌱 WEEKLY REPORT — 12/12 From Seed Light Shuttle Run A New Experimental Cycle Filled With Vigor, Authenticity & Community Love This week marks the launch of our 12/12 from seed light shuttle experiment, an intentional departure from traditional cycles to explore how early flowering signals influence structure, energy distribution, and overall expression. It’s a fresh chapter, and already the project feels alive with momentum. ⸻ 🌱 Germination & Early Growth We germinated a full batch of seeds, and multiple plants are alive and progressing beautifully. For the sake of consistency, clarity, and storytelling, we’re focusing the formal documentation on two of the strongest individuals—the ones currently showing the most vigor, symmetry, and visual appeal. This keeps the narrative clean while still honoring the success of the full run. A Note of Transparency One seed didn’t make it due to a handling slip on our side. Not an environmental issue—just human. And that’s okay. Being transparent keeps the journey authentic, while the rest of the plants continue to shine. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment remains controlled and supportive: • Humidity: 75–80% • Temperature: ~28°C • Light Cycle: 12/12 from seed (experimental shuttle approach) These conditions have fostered healthy early development, vibrant coloration, and confident structural initiation. ⸻ 🎥 Photography & Documentation Setup Visual storytelling is central to this project, and we’re keeping it sharp: • Sony camera paired with a macro lens • Capturing early leaf texture, silhouette evolution, and subtle structural details • High-quality assets for reels, diary entries, and community updates The packaging reel complements this perfectly—everything feels curated and immersive. ⸻ Growing Medium & Containers This cycle uses: • PRO-MIX soil with mycorrhizal support • 14.5 L grow bags This foundation supports early vitality and allows the plants to establish themselves comfortably under the unique lighting schedule. ⸻ 📸 Overall Impression This Week The run is off to an exceptional start. Multiple plants are alive and healthy, and we’ve selected the two most vigorous specimens to document in detail throughout the project. Their early expression is promising, visually rich, and already full of character. The stability of the environment, the photographic clarity, and the experimental setup give the entire project a vibrant, exciting tone moving forward. ⸻ 💚 Community, Gratitude & Acknowledgment As always, none of this exists in isolation. A heartfelt thank you to: • Tical (the music legend behind part of the genetics) • Zamnesia, co-creator of this beautiful genetic combination • The entire community — the OGs, the newcomers, the quiet supporters, the loud ones, the curious, the passionate • GrowDiaries and the whole platform for giving projects like this a home • Everyone following the journey, sharing love, and keeping the culture alive Your energy fuels this project.

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. FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial NEW DISCORD - Official Server Invite Link : https://discord.gg/ksjAkA5T74 P.S.2- Due to the new platform restrictions on GrowDiaries, it wasn’t possible to upload all of the germination photos during the official germination week. To keep the documentation complete and transparent, those images are now being uploaded together with the rest of this week’s photos. Thank you for understanding and for continuing to follow the journey so closely.

Perfect tropical-like weather. No problems to report. Excellent growth. Still rearranging net tent as this bastard stretch a lot. The one that should have the fastest flowering is, on the other hand, terribly late compared to het sisters. But how long does this beast still want to grow? Royal Queen Seeds officially claims Pineapple Kush is better suited indoors than outdoors, for now RQS is wrong.

Unfortunately because they were in the dark when germinated & sprouted they stretched for light quite a bit, which made the stems weak, I had to support some but 1 of the Tropicana Cookies was to weak & bent right over. I tried to stake it to support it but it died a few days later! I have put another Tropicana seed in to a jiffy starter to replace it. Added a fan to help strengthen stems & it has started to strengthen them up allready

This is the last post with mid quality pictures and video since I will be going home soon 😀. It is a bit rainy back home so she has to be under a roof or inside a lot of the time. The nutes will be upped to 4ml/l for both the grow and the bloom nutes.

Giorno59(27ottobre) Oggi ho dato da bere alle due bestioline, ho dovuto attaccare le cime della runtz con dei fili attaccati al tetto del box, e ho legato tra di loro i rami della Orange perché si stavano piegando tutti verso l'esterno ...i bud hanno un volume accettabile, sono entrambi piena di resina , queste settimane e la prossima , dovranno dare il 100% così da chiudere con dei bud fenomenali! Giorno60(28ottobre) Oggi ho notato piccoli puntini bianchi su alcune foglie di entrambe le piante, ho preso il microscopio ed è uscito questo bellissimo insettino...per fortuna mancano due settimane e si chiude , devo solo stare attento a non fare proliferare questi bastardi ! No ho approfittato e ho controllato la maturazione della resina,ha un colore torpido e presentano entrambe già molte testoline marroncine.

Just watering plain water, im thinking this is the last week before harvest, im checking out the trichomes every other day to look when theyre ready. Everyday theres about 5-10 leaves which are so curled up and dried that i can just rip them loose super easily.

Se reparo el problema con el riego que se vio la semana anterior y se prosigue con 3 riegos semanales, lunes, miercoles y sabados. La altura de las plantas va de los 40 a los 85cm un promedio de 62cm. Las flores empiezan a tomar volumen.
