10 /11 Weeks Flower¬¬ It's going to be a long flowering phase! 18/01/2024 Performed a mid-day clean using hydrogen peroxide Moved Spicy Temp to the flower tent Noted that the temperatures are a little high Searching for a new, large heatsink for the CropMaster Pro 1000 to resemble the SK600. Considering modifications to the CropMaster's heatsink as it is currently equipped with a 12-watt fan driver, PC fans, and connected to the LED mains power. It still works well, but planning to replace some LEDs once this grow is completed. Fed 200ml of organic random feed to 5 plants Discovered a sprouted seedling beneath the Forgotten Haze and relocated it to the veg tent 19/01/2024 Noted the arrival of the flowers 20/01/2024 Conducted a mid-day photoshoot Started using natural fertilizer as flowering has commenced, applied 150ml for every 5 liters of water 20-01-2024 Recorded a video of the pre-flowering stage, indicating anticipation of a substantial yield 20/01/2024 Performed defoliation before the onset of substantial flowering and cleaned up the lower growth Implemented SCROG (Screen of Green) 22/01/2024 Recorded a video of the pre-flowering stage 23/01/2024 No major changes, just observing more leaves and flowers 23/01/2024 Trimmed off the small undergrowth shoots Missed a few of the lower growth shoots 24/01/2024 Gently stretched the plant within the SCROG setup I'm aware that I need to reposition the pot more to the left to ensure the plants stretch evenly from both sides, but honestly, I'm feeling a bit lazy to do it tonight. I'll tackle it first thing in the morning, I promise! Originally, my plan was to have two plants in the set-up, but it turns out that Freaky Pablo is male. And now for a plant-related joke: Why did the Forgotten Haze Cakes go to therapy? Because she had too many hang-ups! _____________________________________ #IT WAS A RIDDLE YA DIDDLE SEE IT- "I was so stoned & baked last night and a little bit pebbled and tripped over a rake and then I finally had a ''eureka moment'' of what, ''Banana Shrimps are symbolic of! haha, my innocence is now ruined! The question I'm asking is; will I ever grow up? and leave Mushroom Town" _____________________________________. REAL CONCLUSION: The Skunk Of Trutn. Answer: Not for another 3-4 Weeks, then you get to leave Mushroom city. "But it's about Forgotten Haze Cake maturity in to woman hood begins. But she still stays in mushroom land, the land of the Forgotten, she's lost amongst the Haze and Cake strains of the cold damp soil where mushrroms grow. This is a Kind symbolic gesture reminder here, to keep the top soil clean during these colder times. We don't want mould or bud rot. Some hazes like to see 3 days of dropped temps to change her colours like a psychedelic trip during the start of maturity" "Shes always tripping over rakes, I have a little baby rake I use to freshen up her top soils" Allso she was living next door to Freaky Pablo that turned out to be male to where Bananas come from and shes the shrimp. This riddle is told by the perspective of the Plant realising she's a woman going through the stages womanhood" So, in conclusion, my fellow thinkers and growers, let's embrace the absurdity, cherish our innocence, and ponder the enigma of find a rake to trip over and lead us to that illuminating "eureka moment," no matter how stoned, baked, or pebbled we may be. Cheers to growth, both in the mind and the garden! _____________________________________ At mid-day on January 25th, 2024, I accidentally placed the light too close to the plants for a couple of hours, resulting in burnt leaves and pistils. It can't be a calcium deficiency since I have been feeding 6ml of calcium to 5 liters of water. The only difference was the proximity of the light.

Chopped them down for a 24 hour hang dry before storing them in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. So freaking glad it's over! Time to chill out and enjoy the crop.

The plants are growing at a good rate now and drinking a litre each per day. I feed them by hand and each plant gets 2litres every other day. Didn't do anything else this week other than install the trellis on the last day. Love the way these genetics grow and fill out the tent. When I was growing the mother in the pheno hunt I remember remarking how well this plant took to being topped. These 2 plants are front and right in the timelapse video.

Hola de nuevo amigos ✌️🌞 Una semana más que óptima para esta belleza de planta, esta resistente y esbelta cepa se ha adaptado genial a las condiciones que tengo controladas de cerca con Trolmaster 🤜🤛💐 La planta apunta hacia arriba con energía, sus tallos son muy fibrosos y resistentes, el ventilador apenas la hace mover y recibe la luz de manera óptima. Siete días antes de las fotografías le apliqué una dosis mínima de Power Buds de Plagron ya que he visto en mis cultivos anteriores que acelera la producción de tricomas repentinamente ✍️, se puede combinar (al final) con los nutrientes de la línea organomineral de GenOneEleven sin problemas y no afecta al pH o la EC 👌 El aroma de esta bella planta es fuerte, pero aún ni la he molestado demasiado como para definirlo 🤭☘️ Un saludo grande para todos y nos vemos en la siguiente!

My final week is here. She’s fading out, id like to have seen her hold her colour a little longer although the leaves around the bud sites are still a nice green colour. buds are tight and dense. More to follow as the week goes on. Update…. I’m 7 days into drying, she’s starting to dry at the heads and gets more sticky the further down the branch. Next grow I’ll definitely lollipop to the top 2 nodes as I’ve found she’s a little “airy down below”. I’ll strip the branches in another 5-7 days.

3/21: Just letting her do her thing for now contemplating on taking a few leaves off 3/22: I talked to the company yesterday that I purchased my light from in early February they said my Optic 4 XL LED will ship out this upcoming week......I’m definitely happy about that news I really need more light what I have right now since I had to take down my cheap Chinese blurple isn’t cutting it 3/24: Fed plain water and took off a few bottom leaves, in a few days I’m going to pry her open more then I’m gonna try not to fuck with her as much unless it’s necessary. Received email that my Optic 4XLs shipped finally

Buenas noches familia, aquí ando fumando un plajo, actualizando esta farm cheese que no veáis cómo empieza a oler, bastante sana, acepta muy bien la alimentación , un fallo podría ser que me pidieron agua y hasta el día siguiente nanai, pero nada serio. Ph controlado en 6.2 la temperatura no sube nunca de 26 grados con el led de mars hydro y la humedad se mantiene por debajo de 50%. Todo va muy bien. Poco más que decir estoy deseando que pasen las semanas para cosechar, buenos humos fumetillas.

This is the final week of nutes for the ladies! Time to flush her for the coming week. Also read that Purple Punch needs cold temps at night to turn color. Since I can't do that where I live, an alternative is to flush her with ice water. Giving that a try and will keep you guys updated.

She’s looking much much happier in flowering! I’m not sure how but I’ve grown her bigger than she is rated for maximum height. The end of this week she was 60” or 152cm tall, her rated maximum height was 39” or 100cm so I’m a good 50% taller than rated!!

Week 6 Flower — Sundae Driver (deep dive) Quick recap — From seed to Week 6 • Germination: Pillbox + water enriched with Aptus Regulator / Start Booster; three seeds, two kept. • Early transplant: Seedlings moved directly into final 11 L fabric pots with a living / amended super-soil (Janeco Light Mix + Aptus line + mycorrhizae, substrate buffer, micro-mix). • Short veg: Minimal veg time (early transplant strategy), light training (leaf-tucking) and one deliberate supercrop to control a “moon-shot” top. • Flower flip: You used an 11/13 light schedule to encourage a firm, fast transition into flower. • Now: Week 6 of flower — plants are large, heavy, and beginning to show clear resin development. ⸻ This week’s snapshot (what you told me) • Solution EC: 0.7 mS/cm (you stopped All-in-One liquid and pulled solution EC down) • Solution pH: ~6.1 • Soil/substrate EC: still comparatively high (you reported earlier numbers around 5–6 mS/cm) — the living soil is doing the heavy lifting. • Feed plan kept: Plagron PowerBuds, Green Sensation, Sugar Royal (all low-dose), plus Aptus Regulator and Aptus CalMag Boost. • Plants: heavy, bulking, obvious frost/trichome production; supercrop site is producing well. ⸻ Why you lowered solution EC and stopped the All-in-One liquid • Letting the soil lead. Your living, richly amended soil already holds lots of available ions. Pulling water-solution EC back to ~0.7 makes the fertigation a light steering input rather than the dominant nutrient source. That reduces the risk of salt buildup while letting the soil biology and reserves feed the plants. • Encouraging ripening, not more vegetative growth. Lowering soluble N input and total EC reduces vegetative vigor and encourages the plant to reallocate energy into flower development and resin production. • Cleaner profile. A lighter solution often helps express terpenes and can reduce harsh residual taste if you choose to flush later. • Risk management. With a high substrate EC you avoid compounding salts, but you must monitor runoff EC/pH to ensure you’re not drifting into deficiency or toxicity. ⸻ Trichomes & white pistils, what you’re seeing and what it means • White pistils (hairs): still plentiful, the plant is mid-flower, still producing new pistils while older ones will start darkening in the coming weeks. A lot of white pistils now is normal at Week 6; they will darken and curl as maturity approaches. • Trichome types & stages: you’re seeing more glandular heads and sticky sugar leaves. Trichomes progress roughly: clear → cloudy/milky → amber. • Clear: immature (not peak potency) • Cloudy/milky: peak cannabinoid expression, usually target harvest for a balanced high • Amber: more degraded THC → more sedative, couch-type effect; some amber is normal depending on desired effect • What heavy trichome coverage now means: the plants have moved into active resin production; enzymes and carbon flux are being directed to terpene and cannabinoid pathways. Continued support (sugars, PK, stable environment) helps maximize resin and terpene development. ⸻ Supercrop update — technical recap & why it worked • Mechanics: you bruised/softened the stem, bent it, and closed the wound so the plant formed a strengthened knuckle. That redirection reduces apical dominance and sends auxin to lateral sites. • Results you observed: rapid curve-up, additional bud sites along the bent branch, and notable fruiting at the knuckle/top area. That’s expected, the wound redirects hormonal flow and the plant compensates by boosting side growth and flowers. • Monitoring: the knuckle strengthens over 3–7 days; watch for any slow-healing splits and keep airflow over the site to prevent moisture pooling. ⸻ Why you kept Plagron + Aptus (what each brings) • Plagron PowerBuds / Green Sensation / Sugar Royal: targeted bloom stimulators (PK, co-factors, carbs/aminos). They help compact flowers, feed terpene pathways, and provide sugars/precursors that support aroma and density. • Plagron Sugar Royal: acts as a carbohydrate/secondary biostimulant — supports microbes and gives a sugar boost that plants and microbes use for energy in resin synthesis. • Aptus Regulator: supports stress resilience, uptake efficiency, cell wall strength — especially valuable under high light/heat. • Aptus CalMag Boost: maintains Ca/Mg balance, essential for cell structure and avoiding tip burn when uptake is rapid. • Strategy: Plagron drives bloom chemistry; Aptus protects physiology and supports clean uptake. With soil heavy on reserves, both are applied as focused steering tools. ⸻ Week 6: What is happening physiologically • The plant transitions from stretch to stacking: calyxes thicken, pistils begin to darken in the coming weeks, and trichome density increases. • Carbohydrate flux is prioritized to the floral sink; you’ll see faster water uptake and increased K demand. • Leaf yellowing in lower leaves often begins around now as N is remobilized to flowers, this is frequently normal in mid-late flower if controlled and not extreme. ⸻ What to expect next (practical timeline & signals) Expect (over the next 1–3 weeks): • Continued calyx swelling and denser flowers. • Trichomes moving from mostly clear → cloudy (you’ll start seeing the ‘frost’ become more opaque). • Stronger terpene aroma as sugars and PK feed resin pathways. • Heavier water uptake and faster EC changes between runs. Don’t expect (yet): • Final resin peak — that typically comes later (weeks 7–10 depending on genetics). • Immediate massive ambering — amber trichomes usually develop later in the finish window. • No surprises — biological systems still can flip; remain monitoring-forward. Watch closely for: • Runoff EC & pH after a couple of waterings — if runoff EC climbs very high, consider a mild runoff correction. • Humidity & bud density: keep RH controlled to avoid botrytis (mid 40–55% during heavy stacking; lower as flowers bulk). • Magnesium / Potassium signs: interveinal yellowing (Mg) or edge cupping/crisping (K) — maintain CalMag and consider K if uptake accelerates. ⸻ Actionable checklist for Week 6 • Continue solution EC ~0.7 and pH ~6.1; treat fertigation as steering. • Measure runoff EC/pH at least once this week — log the results. • Keep Plagron bloom stack + Aptus Regulator & CalMag at light doses. • Keep canopy airflow high; consider lowering RH progressively if buds bulk fast. • Prepare stakes / soft ties or light trellis for heavy colas (supercrop sites may need support). • Microscope checks: start daily/alternate-day inspection of trichomes with 30–60× loupe — photograph if you want a timeline. • Avoid heavy new training; minor tucks/leaf removal to open air/light only. ⸻ A short note on flushing (planning) • Many growers flush with pH-balanced plain water 1–2 weeks before harvest to reduce soluble salts and tighten flavor; opinions vary. If you intend to flush, start planning timing based on trichome stage, not calendar alone. Your living soil and current low-solution EC approach already help keep things cleaner. ⸻ Final reflection — gratitude & community Week 6 is where the plant’s intent becomes visible: form into flower, pack on weight, and build resin. Your measured decision to pull back water EC while continuing Plagron’s bloom stimulants and Aptus support is a smart “steer, don’t force” approach that lets the living soil and the plant do the heavy metabolic work. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

nothing to do but watch this girl grow. She is really just about to start a beast mode growth spirt right now. When I FIMed her, it allowed the rest of the plant to catch up to the cola, also created 4 branches from the FIM. Lets see how fast I can make her grow.

The wedding cake is going into full flower this week. She is beginning to show trichomes and is smelling nice, not too loud...but definitely an earthy noticeable scent that eases into the entire room after i open the tent. Candles alone are helping with that, although the smell is removed once in the tent. She is smashed up on the sides because she is sharing a tent with 2 other autos and they are all big bushy phenotypes. The wedding cakes is the youngest in flower between the 3; yet she is maturing the fastest and will obviously be harvested first. Absolutely no deficiencies and everyday she is swelling a bit. It is truely a pleasure to watch.

Hello. This is the test harvest for Lemnesia Northern. I'm happy with my first cross. It's not really strong but it strong enough for the first cross. Something I can build on to make better and stronger with future crosses. These plants were mold and pest resistant. I had mold and pest in the garden 20 feet away but none in here.😃 Plant #1 Wet Weight - 2062 g Dry Weight - 339 g Seeded buds - 26 g crossed with male Kosher Haze #3 Seeds - 10.5 g Plant #2 Wet Weight - 2364 g Dry Weight - 342 g Seeded buds - 14 g Seeds - 5 g Plant #3 Wet Weight - 2153 g Dry Weight - 305 g Seeded buds - 23.5 g Seeds - 5 g Plant #4 Wet Weight - 2531 g Dry Weight - 374 g Seeded buds - 24 g Seeds - 2 g I'm guessing the THC at about 16% to 20%, it can get me pretty stoned. The taste and smell is lemon/citrus with some hashy notes. Plant #3 has a sort of tuna smell to it. Umme, the plant that grew in the middle, also did well, and had her own diary. Next year I have Buford OG, 12 regular seeds by Rare Dankness to make more seeds with. I'm thinking of crossing this with my Dos Si Dos #33 and Sweet Zenzation and of course with the new Lemnesia Kosher. Oh Boy- Building a seed bank. 😁 Yes I'm happy everything went well and I got the harvest in and I got seeds to play with. OK time to catch up with my smoking. Thanks. Chuck.
