Beginning of week: Can't tell yet if the branch i broke is going to mend or die yet. Light defoliation today focusing on the upper canopy and tapering to the bottom to allow the lower branches to catch up as much as possible. Midweek: going away for 3 days. Put my net down to help breakup the canopy more though it wasnt really needed this thing loves to grow sideways. Added Cycos suga rush at 1ml/L and a light defoliation. The branch i thought I broke hasnt shown any signs of dying and has continued growing 😁 I also have started watering with worm casting tea in between feeds.

Keep ii up girls

Blütewoche 2 – Blattpflege, ScrOG & Biologischer Pflanzenschutz Zeitraum: Vom 29. Mai bis 05. Juni Moin zusammen! Ich habe mir mein bisheriges Grow-Tagebuch angesehen und beschlossen, künftig auf Deutsch weiterzuschreiben, damit ich mir das ständige Übersetzen spare und gleichzeitig einen Beitrag zur deutschsprachigen Grow-Community leisten kann. Entlaubung & ScrOG-Fädeln: In dieser Woche habe ich die King Juice großflächig entlaubt, um Licht und Luft besser ins Innere der Pflanze gelangen zu lassen. Die Äste wurden durch das ScrOG-Netz gefädelt, damit sie sich gleichmäßig über die Fläche verteilen. Zu Beginn war sie etwa 55 cm im Durchmesser – zum Ende der Woche war sie auf ca. 60 cm angewachsen. Biologischer Pflanzenschutz – Nützlinge: Zum Schutz gegen Schädlinge habe ich zwei Koppert-Produkte eingesetzt: - Swirski‑Mite Plus – enthält Amblyseius swirskii, eine Schlupf‑ und Raubmilbe, die sich besonders gegen Larven von Thripsen und Weißen Fliegen richtet  - Spical Plus – beheimatet Neoseiulus californicus, eine generalistische Raubmilbe, ideal gegen Spinnmilben, aber auch gegen andere Blattmilben  Diese Nützlinge werden in langsam freisetzenden Beuteln angebracht und helfen präventiv im biologischen Schädlingsmanagement – damit es gar nicht erst zu größeren Problemen kommt. Pflanzenzustand: Die King Juice hat sich zügig erholt, wirkt vital und wächst kräftig weiter. Das Blattwerk zeigt ein sattes Grün, ohne Anzeichen von Mangelerscheinungen. Sehr zufriedenstellend! Bewässerung & Mikrobenkultur: Das Substrat ist noch gut feucht. Deshalb werde ich wie gewohnt erst zu Beginn der nächsten Woche erneut gießen. Nochmals mit EM1 (Effektiven Mikroorganismen), um das Bodenleben weiterhin zu unterstützen. Liebe Grüße aus Norddeutschland – bis zum nächsten Wochen-Update!

Man sieht wie es langsam in die letzten beiden Wochen geht. Melonade Runtz Pheno#1 hat rötliche Stängel bekommen. Ich weiß nicht ob es die Genetik oder eventuell ein Mangel ist. Sie zeigt sonst keine Mangelerscheinungen und die anderen Strains im Zelt auch nicht. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit dass es also genetisch bedingt ist besteht somit also auf jeden Fall. Außerdem habe ich beide Lampen auf 100% laufen und dann ist es so, dass wenn die Stängel intensivem direktem Licht ausgesetzt sind, können sie sich violett, rot oder rosa färben. Die Farbveränderung durch intensives Licht ist ein natürlicher Abwehrmechanismus der Pflanze, da sie dadurch besser vor UV-Strahlung geschützt ist. Sieht sehr schön aus 😁 Beide Phenos trinken schon etwas weniger, was darauf hindeutet dass sie sich langsam dem Ende der Blütephase nähern. Riechen tun beide immer stärker, man riecht beim Pheno#1 immer mehr die Lemon Z x Lemon Tree raus. Sehr erfrischend.

There is not much stretching going on probobaly due to root issues I've had before. Pythium I guess.

☆♡ Gorilla Cookies: I've noticed a leaf fell off the bottom. I think I may've overdone the nutes. She's growing tremendously. I top dressed with the below, as the rest of my plants. I will only use PH'd water for the next several waterings, probably with Biosys or seaweed. ♡☆ 16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

4.14.25 2nd week of veg! Started tie down method on 4.7.25 going good. Nice healthy growth! Going to start wrapping plant around perimeter of pot.

Starting Week 2! All three ladies doing great... Blueberry is the beast of the three and Amnesia Haze the runt (as expected). Light moved up to 30" and 100% and dropped humidity to 60%. Week 2 coming to a close today! Starting Week 3 tomorrow.

🌌 Cosmic Noodles — Week 9 From Seed (≈ Week 5 Flower | 12/12 From Seed) Divided Report — Growth vs Stress ⸻ Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run continues under 12/12 from seed, now entering: • 🌱 Week 9 from seed • 🌸 ≈ Week 5 of flowering At this stage, plants are expected to be: • Fully transitioned into flower • Actively stacking buds • Stabilizing structure after stretch However, this week became something more than a standard update… 👉 It became a controlled contrast experiment We now have three distinct expressions in the same environment: • Plant A → Stretch-driven structure • Plant B → Open, balanced, high-performance plant • Overwatered Plant → Intentionally stressed (root zone) Same room. Same feed. Same conditions. Different outcomes. ⸻ 🌊 The Overwatered Plant — Controlled Stress What was done This plant was intentionally overwatered to observe: • Root response • Recovery potential • Impact on flowering progression ⸻ 🔬 What overwatering actually does • Saturated medium → oxygen depletion in root zone • Roots lose function → nutrient uptake collapses • Plant shows deficiency symptoms without deficiency • Metabolism slows → flower development stalls ⸻ 👁️ Current Observations (Week 9 / Flower Week 5) From the visual timeline: • Heavy, swollen leaf droop (not thirst-related) • Necrotic/burnt leaf edges • Weak flower formation • Overall loss of vigor • No strong signs of recovery yet 👉 This is consistent with root hypoxia stress ⸻ 🛠️ Corrective Actions Taken • ✅ Full drainage of excess water • ✅ Substrate allowed to dry • ✅ Feeding paused (critical decision) • ✅ No additional stress applied This approach respects one key principle: 🌱 “Recovery is biological, not forced.” ⸻ ⚖️ Current Status — Honest Assessment At this moment: 👉 The plant is not showing a strong rebound And that’s important to state clearly. ⸻ 🔮 Possible Outcomes 🌱 Scenario 1 — Late Recovery (possible, but limited probability) • New growth improves • Leaf degradation slows • Buds continue developing (reduced yield expected) ⸻ ☠️ Scenario 2 — Progressive Decline (more likely) • Continued leaf death • Minimal metabolic recovery • Poor flower development ⸻ 👉 Either way, this plant has already fulfilled its purpose: It became a living demonstration of root zone importance ⸻ 🌿 Plant A — Stretch Expression Structure • Taller, more vertical growth • Longer internodal spacing • More “reaching” behavior Current State (Week 5 Flower) • Healthy foliage overall • Bud sites forming consistently • No stress signals 👉 This phenotype leans toward: 🌱 Structure over density ⸻ 🌿 Plant B — The Balanced Beast This one stands out immediately. Structure • Open architecture • Excellent light penetration • Strong lateral branching Response to Defoliation • Fast recovery • No visible stress • Continued aggressive development Flowering Progress • Clean bud stacking • Strong formation across canopy • Uniform development 👉 This is: 🌿 A plant fully aligned with its environment ⸻ ✂️ Defoliation — Outcome Analysis Defoliation was applied to the healthy plants. Results: • No slowdown • No shock response • Improved light distribution • Strong continuation of flowering 👉 This confirms: • Timing ✅ • Intensity ✅ • Plant health baseline ✅ ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding — Stability Check • 🌡️ Temperature → unchanged from previous week • 💧 Feeding → same regimen maintained • ⚖️ No variable changes introduced 👉 Critical insight: Differences observed are not environmental They are root-driven and plant-specific ⸻ 🧠 Key Lesson of Week 9 🌱 “In flower, roots dictate everything.” Even under identical conditions: • Healthy roots → explosive growth • Stressed roots → systemic collapse This week shows clearly: 👉 The plant is not just what you feed… 👉 It is what it can absorb and process ⸻ 🎥 Mr. Baggy — Introduction This week also marks: 🎬 The arrival of Mr. Baggy Even if limited visually in this update, his presence is now part of the journey. And honestly… perfect timing. Because this week represents: Real growing Not just pretty plants ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect — Moving Forward 🌿 Plant A & B • Continued bud stacking • Increased density over next 1–2 weeks • Gradual nutrient demand peak • Structure already defined → now focusing on weight ⸻ 🌊 Overwatered Plant Two paths remain: • 🌱 Slow stabilization (best case) • ☠️ Continued decline (most likely) No intervention planned beyond: Observation + stability ⸻ 🙏 Closing Words — From Grower to Growers To everyone following this journey: • The supporters • The silent watchers • The experienced growers • The beginners • The sponsors • The platform • The community 👉 Thank you. Not every week is perfect. Not every plant is beautiful. But every moment teaches something. And that’s the point. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@thedogdoctorofficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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 A6700 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.

Hey..next week the plant get the 35liter pot with same mix as the start pot...i add little helper seeds in the big pot to prevent some things like bugs and dry out to much from wind and sun....hope the sun gets brighter the next time...but for this hard conditions i would say..nice start. thanks ..... 4/25: It was extremely cold tonight, so I took the opportunity and took this time lapse shot over 3 hours... after 1 hour I added a drop of remaining osmosis water... and lo and behold, ten minutes later Calimero laid down his eggshell ... .now we can get started and I have that great shot that I've always wanted to take...sorry for the outside interruption, I couldn't miss it....in the evining after my work i kick her as instant out.....

Just water ph 6.0 seeds growing fine I think

🗓️ Week 9 complete – 5th week of flowering This week was all about keeping an eye on the drain EC values – and compared to the others, Seriotica handled it much more smoothly. 🔹 Seriotica Last watering: ~1.0 EC in → Drain 1.51 → 1.67 EC She reacts a bit more sensitively than the MACs, but overall still looks healthy and balanced. Adjustment: → Slightly increase base nutrients to ~1.2–1.3 EC → Keep supplements at 30–40% of the schedule 🎯 Goal: Stable drain around 1.6–1.7 She’s taking in nutrients cleanly, without major salt buildup – definitely on the right track 🌱 And the best part: Trichomes are ramping up week by week – things are getting frosty ❄️🌸

Not much has changed this week, the buds got a little bigger, I've stopped giving PK 13/14, which brings the EC down to about 2.0

She‘s doing okay. Buds are building pretty nicely. Top leaves are yellowing just a bit.

Planted them direct into the soil about 2mm deep, all four were out within 48hrs and have grown well so far 👍

floweeer start day 104 change fertilizer from nettle to chicken manure, from my free run chicken yard
