🌸 Week 15 from Seed / Week 4 Flower – The Art of Defoliation 🌿 Welcome back to the journey of The White OG by Seedsman Seeds. This week marks a powerful turning point — the mid-flower defoliation — a sacred act of giving space, light, and breath to a girl who’s ready to bloom big. She’s thriving beautifully under the Future of Grow Black Series 600W system, and still running strong on the Aptus Clean Program: • Regulator • System Clean • RO Water Conditioner • All-in-One Liquid The mix lands with a pH of 5.97, an EC of 1.20, and water temp at 18.2°C — right on point. 🌬️ This week’s star event? A serious defoliation. We removed large fan leaves that were shading critical bud sites, allowing light to pour in and airflow to circulate. This isn’t just pruning — it’s breathing room. It’s strategy. It’s sculpting the future. She’s expressing herself now some funky leaf formations, even buds forming in the leaf base itself, a unique phenotype with personality. This is what makes each grow magical. Why defoliation now? • Week 4 is the sweet spot: flowers are forming, stretch is slowing, and now’s the time to open up the canopy without stressing her too much. • It increases light penetration and reduces risk of mold or pests by improving airflow. • It directs energy to the buds, not the blocked, lower leaves. And now she stands proud in her scrog net, breathing deep, stretching wide. She’s no longer hiding. She’s becoming. ⸻ Huge thanks as always to the amazing GrowDiaries community, to Seedsman, to Aptus Holland, to the Future of Grow team, To TrolMaster and to all of you: the followers, supporters, growers, learners, lovers, and even the haters — we grow together 🌱 💚 Come join the journey over on Instagram and YouTube — where the Dognabis Cup is blooming into something beautiful too.

04.08. Dos Si Dos 33# 1# Day 101# Dos si Dos 33# 2# Day 101# The plants are progressing well, most of them went into preflower a few days ago, the others are slowly entering... I was too lazy to photograph and record each plant separately, so I took a picture and recorded everything together... this grass has grown too much, in some places it is half way up the plant and you can't see how big the plants actually are, these days I will mow it under them and around them and in the next update I will post individual pictures where everything will look nice...day before yesterday I watered them with clean water, the next watering also with clean water and then I will most likely switch to food for the flower, I will see from the situation. Three days ago it was the end of their fourteenth week, the pictures and videos are from day before yesterday. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

Weekly update for these girls. They got a defoliated and lollipopped this week. Also went full on into preflower showing pistols and flower sites everywhere. Over all they're growing like champs. Happy Growing

Do you see that SWAMPMONSTER in the corner of the tent there ?? The Queen towers above the canopy and the rest of the plants lol. It's really interesting from using the Smart Proteins, i think how they work is that the plant is able to process them and compensate any kind of slight deficiency which means that each plant that gets the proteins is able to grow to it's maximum potential and at the same time grow to its **individual** potential... that's why each of these plants has so much "character", because if you look closely it's less a question of phenotype but more like "individual expression".... INTERESTING !!! Anyway that's about the visual... my main concern about these is how loud they f-ing smell !!! ITS PROBLEMATIC, so be conscious of that if you plant to grow these one day ! REALLY REALLY LOUD, honestly there should be an additional category on GD like "problematic" which is beyond the "strong smell" category. I have two large carbon filters on two 1330m3/h fans and it's a problem. Hope you understand how unusual that is for a plant in veg lol... I think the smart protein probably affects how strong the plants smell because all the plants seem more smelly than expected... TBH i'll fix the smell issue but hopefully it's a good sign and an indicator of the quality i can expect by harvest time? These also got two rounds of defoliation , and i flipped them to flower like 4 days ago. This was an exciting veg to me, but now is when it gets interesting, let's see how beautiful these flowers are !! Test genetics always have that little bit of mystery to them right? By the way, I'm often visiting this site, so drop me a message about whatever, especially if you have advice ! Thanks for following along with me, i appreciate it really ! ITS FLOWER TIME FOLKS LETS SEE! 🚀

Good growth this week after topping and some lst.Still no sign of any pistils which I'm happy about since been flipped from 1 week from germination.Managed to get 8 to 10 tops before flowering.All good and happy grows🤞🍁

growing fast

10/12/2023 - Plants are all looking great! 11/12/2023 - Just taking some fan leaves out and keep watching 😋 15/12/2023 - All good, already we can see the 3 different phenos expressing

Week three of flower is off to an amazing start! At day 22, the ladies are looking incredibly healthy. They're praying like crazy, reaching for the light, and stacking nodes like it's their job. The buds are starting to plump up, and the trichome production is getting intense. I'm so excited to see how they develop over the next few weeks!

At the beginning of week 5 they all look a bit small and bushy to me. But let's see.. .Maybe they get a little kick and grow during the first weeks of the flowering phase, which we've now entered :) I cut a really small amount of leaves that were touching the ground on the auto bending one.And I started giving them two additional hours of light. Hope they like it. UPDATE: I had to start defoliation because the leaves were so bushy that they were getting wet in between... Hope this helps : And hope they get a little taller...

Parti au séchage mercredi passé. Fleur bien compacte et de belle grosseur . Odeur de pelures d'orange très fort.

Se acerca campaña de corte Las demás las seguimos cada 10 días con tes

De momento todo va bien, he añadido un sistema de co2 casero, no se si hará algo por que no tengo medidor, le he echado 500 gramos de azúcar disuelto en agua templada, media pastilla de levadura de unos 12 gramos... Y una uvas trituradas, godzilla Cookies Auto se le están poniendo las hojas más viejas amarillas y se están cayendo, no se si será por deficiencia de algún nutriente o el ciclo natural de la planta.

THE SMELL

Starting to reduce nutes in preperation for full flush next week, reduced to 450 ppm, 3/4 of my trichomes are where I want them to be so I reckon the half strength nutes with a full week of straight water will do the buds nicely. Huge amount of sugar on the leaves which will make some mean bubble hash!!.. More pics will be uploaded later. Buds are 9/10 density and the Aromas are frightening, strong AF 💪 . . Check the video, says it all lol... This 'Auto' has been a complete roller coaster, never thought the thing was ever going to stop growing! That being said, check her out... Buds are swollen lovely and coated in trichomes, can see purps on some of the buds. Hopefully the taste is half as good as the smell haha...

Moved into main grow tent with other flowers much cooler environment, on 12 /12 light schedule now and feeding kelp based Dutch science nutrients bloom

Day 50 – Officially Entering Bloom 🌸 We’ve crossed a beautiful milestone—flowering has officially begun! The pre-flowers are stacking up with intent, and the entire structure is shifting focus to its reproductive mission. It’s a joy to witness the transition as the energy starts moving into the upper canopy. This FastBuds CBD strain is showing phenomenal resilience and grace despite the unpredictable UK weather. Over the past few days, the plant faced intense rain and strong wind gusts, which even knocked it off its perch. But just like a warrior, she got back up—no broken limbs, no complaints, just a stronger stem and a deeper green. I’ve now placed the pot inside a larger container to stabilise it and protect against slug patrols during cold, damp nights. A simple hack, but one that offers big peace of mind! This grow is intentionally minimalistic. No tents, no synthetic boosters, no artificial support—just super soil, pH-balanced tap water, natural sun, and trust in the process. Every drop of rain and every beam of sunlight becomes part of the story. It’s an outdoor symphony powered by patience and the pure intent to create top-quality CBD oil—without the psychoactive effects, but with all the healing potential. She’s now standing tall at approximately 70 cm, stretching with elegant confidence and building a promising framework of bud sites. There’s something incredibly humbling about letting nature lead. And with a strain like this from FastBuds.com, it’s a rewarding partnership between growers and genetics. More to come, but for now—we bloom.
