02/05 day 29 flower and holy shit things are popping. The smells are strong of tropical fruit punch on the run when I open the tent it smells of over ripe or slightly fermented fruit yummy. Stacking and filling out awesome! They got water and fed today. 02/09 got watered with bio phos, and bio catalyst 7 gallons total water. Terp check on them all. #1 straight tropical fruit punch very loud strongest and most unique terps in the tent. #2 slightly gassy pretty generic smell I feel I've smelled a million times before. #3 slight gas and fruit punch but subtle nothing impressive. #4 2nd strongest terps on the tent a even mix of gas and tropical fruit punch. I'm gonna have a hard time letting go of #1 or #4 honestly so they are both getting ran again next round for fresh frozen and will be kept around at least til I try the end rosin.

They are looking happy and healthy. The growth is consistent and I'm looking forward to seen them start flowering. I haven't seen any kind of bugs or pests yet.

3/29 - I'm not sure she needs another topping. I'm just going to spread out the current tall shoots and let her rip upwards! Also swapped the light for the final veg lamp. 3/30 - training continues and she is taking up more water every day! 3/31 - feeding and defoliation of the larger and lower fan leaves 2L distilled water 5.9pH 65*F 780ppm Grow 3.02g Kelp 0.14g Cal/Mag 0.56g Amino Acids 0.48g Enzymes 0.15g Microbes Grow Stage 0.53g Real Grows Recharge 0.1g 4/1 - Growth is significant since defoliation, I think it was well timed, she grew an inch overnight 4/2 - Great Friday! Another day of training and she is starting to look amazing! 4/3 - feeding day, took off some large fan leaves and trained just a bit more. I think this week she will be allowed to start growing vertically 2L distilled water 6.0pH 1040ppm 71*F Grow 3g Kelp 0.17g Cal/Mag 0.56g Amino Acids 0.5g Enzymes 0.14g Terpinator 5ml Real Grows Recharge 1.26g Great White 0.15g

Welcome to the second week, the plants continue to grow steadily and healthy. The temperature in the tent is a steady between 22 and 25 degree Celsius. I am beginning to add my nutrients to the water. I use Canna, I always start with the CalMag additive, and from there i add the proper nutrient for the plants current phase. Its a bit difficult to type in the exact values of what I use in the diary, so I will have it exactly written in the Week comments most likely. I prepare a 10L watering can, there i add CalMag, and after that Terra Vega. As this is the first dose for the plants, i start off easy with 8ml/10L, that water should suffice for the next two days. After that is used up, I will raise that continuously. Im happy with how they are growing. Thanks for everyone who’s tuning in and have a good day :)

Today is the start of week 3. Recap on week 2: everything went pretty smoothly. Both firls for nutrients this week and took well to them. As well as starting to feed, they also both entered their forever homes, and both seem very happy and healthy. P2 is having some discoloration on her first true leaves, but all of the new growth looks good, so I'm going to write it off as she wasn't happy about no nutes for so long. All-in-all I think this week went well. P1 is showing promising signs of making a full recovery from her near drowning as a seedling, so that's great!

🌿 Lava Cake – Week 5 (First Week Flower) | Pre-Bloom & Heat Talk 🌿 The Lava Cakes have officially stepped into their flowering tent… though, to be fair, they’re still enjoying a little extra veg time before showing pistils. Both phenos are healthy, lush, and stretching beautifully, clearly ready for the show ahead. ⸻ 📸 Photo Studio Glam We took them out for another studio shoot, bright lights, clean background, and every angle showing off their deep greens and perfect branching. Soon, their beauty will be dressed in flowers, but for now, the leaf structure alone is worthy of the spotlight. ⸻ 🌡️ Current Conditions • Room Temp: 31°C • Humidity: 50.3% • VPD: 2.23 kPa • PPFD: 766 µmol/m²/s • Soil EC: ~2.0 • Soil Temp: 25.6°C Yes, the temperature is running hot — AC unit is on the way to lock it back into our ideal zone. ⸻ 💬 Heat in the Grow Room – Risks & Benefits Potential Risks: • Faster substrate drying = more frequent irrigation needed • Higher transpiration rates can stress plants if roots can’t keep up • Slightly increased risk of light stress at high PPFD without proper cooling • Possible reduced terpene retention if sustained into late flower Possible Benefits (short term in veg/pre-flower): • Accelerated metabolism — plants grow and stretch faster • Increased water/nutrient uptake (if well-fed and watered on time) • Can improve CO₂ usage efficiency if levels are high enough Bottom line: As long as they’re hydrated, fed, and ventilated, short bursts of high temp are manageable. But for flowering, we want to keep daytime temps closer to 24–28°C for optimal quality. ⸻ 💧 Watering Strategy We water when the soil dries to about 25% moisture remaining, this encourages: • Stronger root growth searching for water • Better oxygenation of the root zone • Less risk of root rot in warm temps Right now: They’re drinking daily due to the heat, so we’re feeding daily as well. ⸻ Current Feeding (per L of water) • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml With the increased drinking rate, nutrient uptake has increased — meaning no signs of deficiency, just steady lush green. ⸻ 🚀 Looking Ahead • AC installation will stabilize temps, allowing tighter VPD control • First signs of pistils should appear within the next 7–10 days • We’ll begin adjusting feed ratios for early bloom once flowers set • Light intensity will climb further as stretch continues ⸻ 💚 Closing Note: This week is all about momentum, heat or no heat, the Lava Cakes are pushing upward, prepping themselves for a heavy flower load. The environment tweaks are on the way, and we’re building them the perfect stage for their bloom performance. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

_____ Week 8 | Day 56 - 63 ______ I give her 25% less fertilizer than indicated by Advanced... Day 57 🌞 - install the other 2 Spider-farmer light bars | 4 / 160 Watt = 40 Watt each bar Day 59 🌞💧 - each Plant 3 Liter, with small drain Day 62 🌞 - I have changed the light for 1 week now and so far there are only small signs of flowering to be seen... Since then, they have streched about 5-10 cm - Amnezia #1 worries me a little, it looks pretty bright in contrast to the other two. All have the same conditions... I keep an eye on you.....maybe it was too dry, it's the last plant in the row and they are a bit low... difficult to water... stupidly planned by me, I have so much space upwards ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Light - 12/12 h - 400 Watt 80% Dim. PPFD - 900 - 1000 µmol Temp. avg. - 23,0° Hum. avg. - 68 % RLH

She doubled in size this week. For some reason I thought the triploid growth stopped but It didn't. Was suprized how well she did this week being 100f ouside for several days. And she didn't need to be water any more than normal. Got one watering with compost tea ight before hot weather then got cal-mag water two mornings later.

We chopped down the plants. Now they hang out to dry in the tent. The Trichs looked very good. Some milky, some amber, hardly any clear. Just the way I want it. The popcorn buds were rather milky. So we have more of a couchlock effect on the head buds and the maximum THC on the popcorns. I'm really looking forward to the taste💚

Week 10 (31-3 to 6-4) 31-3 Temps: 19.4 to 23.7 degrees Humidity: 61% to 69% The leaves are praying. Light set from 50% to 60% strength. 1-4 Temps: 18.4 to 23.1 degrees Humidity: 56% to 75% Watering: Both 1000 ml. EC: 1.3 2-4 Temps: 19.1 to 23.2 degrees Humidity: 58% to 70% Watering: Both 1000 ml. EC: 0.4 3-4 Temps: 19.6 to 23.8 degrees Humidity: 56% to 70% 4-4 Temps: 19 to 23.4 degrees Humidity: 54% to 62% Watering: Both 1000 ml. EC: 1.3 5-4 Temps: 18.2 to 23 degrees Humidity: 52% to 62% 6-4 Temps: 18.7 to 23.1 degrees Humidity: 49% to 63% Watering: Both 1000 ml. EC: 0.4 Around 10 days after switching to 12/12 i see that the bud development has started, so i count next week as week 1 flower.

Ginger nut cookies and Aussie Music Videos update 20th Feb 2020 On Monday just past, I started to leave this plant out at night thus reducing light hours to the same as a regular outdoors Plant. This should induce flowering as all my other Photoperiod dependent strains are now in Flowering mode. Thru the use of Topping and LST training I have managed to create lots of potential bud sites for this plant to develop into lovely sticky and stinky Buds. Later on today I will do some more LST & As soon as I see pistils developing I will begin to add P+K to the soil by using Guano , Mollasses , Liquid potash, comfrey teas ,Compost teas and Worm castings. The smell of the stems is increasing in strength and has a blend of Red diesel stink mixed with cookies dankness. 😛 Now for the Weekly Music Videos yes I say videos because there will be three 🙏 Last week I chose The Divinyls but this week I thought I would do something different and ask the People what they wanted to hear. Well I got 3 responses and they all made good suggestions all of which I will play this week . @Fruitgrower asked to see anything by Kylie minogue naked 😆 Couldn't manage that but the video I chose does see her prancing around in next to nothing which is the next best thing . So Fruity Enjoy mate heres the Link https://youtu.be/j3VjJKKVNew @PlaguedGardens asked for Flume. I had to google them as I hadnt heard of it but they sound ok I am not particuarly into Electronic music but it has it's place and I chose this one for you mate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwg7hJrDiRg Then finally @I_and_I asked for Airbourne which is a great group who obviously were influenced by AC/DC , Metallica , Motorhead etc etc and you will understand when you watch the video so here is Airbourne for I_and_I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0q9a5QS6WQ All three growers couldn't have chosen more different music genres if they'd tried which just goes to show how different we all are with our musical tastes . I won't clog up the questions section again so if anyone has a request for an Aussie artist or bands Music video they's like to see played please drop your suggestions in the comments section below. Thankyou again for reading my update I hope you enjoy the Music 👍

It has been a great week of growth and no further accidental toppings - first pistils beginning to show at the end of the week. Tops are looking good, forming shape across the net. Stretched branches are being tucked under one square across every 3-4 days. The net is filling up nicely, with some limited pruning below the canopy of both leaves and growth stems. I'm trying to avoid any defoliation on this grow. Fertigating with an inflow EC of >1.4 seems to be moving the run-off EC higher - will maintain higher inflow EC until run-off is within acceptable range. Run-off EC Should be within 300 Points of Inflow EC. Run-off EC still remains below target although now increasing to where it should be. Tracking run-off volume/EC/pH at every fertigation event as I manage the feed EC to monitor what the plant is doing/feeding. Fertigation is maintained now to once a day (at lights on) to maintain the target EC. Light period is during the night time to better maintain heat/humidity conditions during light off period (which happens during daytime). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The grow setup includes ; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom - Mars Hydro SP250 LED light - extraction fan - AC Infinity Cloudline T6 (gives me great control over the environment) - ventilation fans - aquarium heater for nutrients solution (for winter use only) - small oil heater (for winter use only) - small dehumidifier - 20L Airpots (as final pots) and 3.5L general plastic pots (for seedling stage) - Canna Coco substrate mixed with 40% perlite - GHE Flora Trio as base nutrients and various additives - pH and EC/TDS meters - 2x Govee Thermo/Hygro meters (one at canopy, the other at the roots level - these allow for external monitoring and recording) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some strain info from Royal Queen Seeds ; An amazing mix of genetics background - Its true genetics are unknown. Some say OG Kush is a mix of ChemDawg with a Lemon Thai and Pakistani Kush. Others say that it’s just a special cutting of ChemDawg from the early 90s. The most obvious trait of OG Kush is its strong, unique, very dank, slightly citrus aroma, almost like fuel or strong detergent. The flavour of OG Kush is equally as strong and dank, with a long-lasting aftertaste. Strong mental and physical high - OG Kush is an extremely strong cannabis strain, with most experienced smokers listing it as one of their favourites. The effect is as strong physically as it is mentally. Though its effect is like an Sativa, the strain's genetics are mostly Indica. The effect is as strong and complex as the flavour. OG Kush takes around 8 weeks to flower and on average the yield is 500 grams per plant.

Still moving along , missed a week on it but nothing really missed with that. Continuing with the Pro-blend upped the ml alil bit but she was pretty pale so added a few ml more to her feed.. Added silica this week aswell as Recharge.. Dropped a handful of leaves to let light reach the lowest parts better and lower the humidity in the lil clone tent she's in. Really filling out, shooting tons of leaves, multiple nodes going on curious to see how she grows from here on. But not much to note, letting her take her time , won't be flipping till she's about 20/24in tall. That's about it for the update. Appreciate the likes and everyone's time to check out any of the posted grows !!

6ta semana 12/12 de nuestra #greengelato by RQS. Alimentada con Quemanta nutrientes bajo un spectrumboard de 75w de los amigos de heaven Grow ligths. Ya comenzamos a ver como se forma el central del hibrido mas delicioso de Royalqueenseeds

Tout va pour le mieux ! Il reste une bonne semaine pour la strawberry gorilla avant la récolte ; j ai commencé le rinçage. Il doit rester environ deux semaines pour sherbet et un peu plus pour la gorilla cookies je pense. Grosse chaleur prévu en début de cette nouvelle semaine, jusqu’à 40 degré Celsius. Les trois dégagent de magnifiques odeurs !

After 24 hours in the large fabric pots alot of improvement from a few errors in the germination stage they were streching for light so i had to rush the seedlings to the tent and get it all set up u will see the difference from when i put in pots to now
