Smells of STRAIGHT GAS. Bit of a skunk smell but the gas smell is overwhelming. Can't get enough of it. 143 grams (roughly 2.55 ounces per plant of good buds). Hoping the quality is amazing..

First grow on a budget to start but just order the 120x120x200 and a 3000w light so next week's update will be a bit better. Thanks for watching.

On Day 01, I germinated 5 Fat Banana (Auto) in a Rockwool tube and put it in a propagation tray with a dome on it. With room temperature above 80'F and humidity above 90%. From Day 01 to Day 03, the temperature is around 85'F with humidity above 95%. The room temperature kept rising so I gave cool air in the room and removed the dome on Day 04. On Day 04, the temperature dropped sharply from 85'F to 70'F. Humidity also dropped from 95% to 50%. To avoid the being too cold, I increased the temperature of cool air. I gave cool air from 6 A.M to 12 P.M. The temperature has been steady around 75'F and humidity 55% on Day 05, Day 06, Day 07. On day 07, 4 seeds produced 4 leaves each and showed promising. So, I transferred into air pot. I used the growing soil from Superbud - Super Living Soil. I used 1 soil bag per 2 air pots. Throughout the whole germination process, I used no nutrients and only used water to soak the rockwools. As for light, I gave >1500 lumen on Day 04 >7000 lumen on Day 05 >10000 lumen on Day 06 >12000 lumen on Day 03 This is my very first time growing cannabis so let me know your thoughts about how I should improved my germination methods.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 30/09/19 || To/Hasta: 06/10/19 From day/Desde día: 29 || To day/Hasta día: 35 Ocean Grown Cookies Diary / Diario de las Ocean Grown Cookies: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/38831-oceangrown-cookies-blues-sisters If you like this week, please hit a like, it costs you nothing! 👊. Thanks in advance 😉! -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- V1: TimeLapse week video, at second 24 I changed the lights to full operation (notice the color change), so since mid week I'm using the full 180W instead the 90W for growing. Also today (Week 11), I purchased the Platinum P450 model to replace the P300 I have. I still don't know if I'm going to place both lights together to end this grow, or if just replace the P300 and use it to grow another plant in my 60x60 tent. P6: al the plants are bending a bit, I just placed a tutor over the BlueBerry B because is the one that is bending itself more. Just a 3D printed base with a chinese chopstick. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- This week I changed the lights to full flora mode as is recommended by the manufacturer for late vegetative grow. They are still growing at a very good speed more than a cm per day, soon I will perform a full LST on one of them and also I will place the SCROG mesh to try to match the height of the colas. At time the 4 plants (All the cookies) are +/- the same height, but soon the BlueBerries will be bigger than the Oceans. I see a bit overfeeding in the leaves aspect, it must be due to the guano and volcanic soil I added to Soil mix. In a couple of weeks they will look very beauty and healthy. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 05/10/19 DAY 34 - 1 l with all week nutrients @ (1.3 EC | PH 6.2 | 24.9ºc) *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- V1: Video TimeLapse semanal, en el segundo 24 cambio las luces a full flora (se nota en el cambio de color de la imagen), así que a partir de mitad de semana empezaré a usar los 180W de mi luminaria en vez de los 90W que venía consumiendo en crecimiento. Esta semana (Semana 11) he comprado una mejora de luces, he comprado el modelo P450 de Platinum que reemplazará al P300 que estoy usando. Aún no se si voy a dejar ambas luces juntas para acabar este cultivo, o si simplemente reemplazaré el P300, y este lo usaré para crecer otra cosa en mi armario de 60x60. P6: Las plantas se están doblando un poco, sólo he colocado un tutor en la BlueBerry B pues es la que más se está doblando de todas. Simplemente he impreso una base en 3D y le he puesto un palillo chino. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Esta semana cambio el modo de la luminaria a flora, pues es lo recomendado por el fabricante para la última etapa de crecimiento. Siguen creciendo a una velocidad excelente, más de 1 cm por día, pronto pondré la malla de SCROG para intentar ajustar la altura de las cola. Por el momento las 4 plantas (todas las cookies) son más o menos d la misma altura, pero pronto las BlueBerry pasarán en altura a las Ocean. Puedo ver un poco de sobrealimentación por el aspecto de las hojas, debe ser debido a la tierra volcánica y el guano que le añadí al sustrato. En un par de semanas se verán super sanas y bonitas. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 05/10/19 DÍA 34 - 1 l con todos los nutrientes semanales @ (1,3 EC | PH 6,2 | 24,9ºc)

8 Weeks The "stretch" is done, still a small and really bushy plant, did a little lolipoping but not much. Increased EC and will increase it more to around 2 next week. Hope I don't get mold in this big mess. Some forming buds are really stretched out? idk, never had that before, maybe due to the heat? sadly can't do anything about that, summer. Added Spiderfarmer Glow30 light and they were flicker heavy, removed them soon after installing them, unusable, not only for the video but the light also made me dizzy and sick. After that I installed a single Mars Hydro VG80 bar. Also Installed the Mars Hydro Adlite IR15. Values are average of the day.

Overall I'm extremely pleased with the grow and yield I got from using the Autopot system. By far my biggest yield yet. The clones were happy with the growing conditions and new setup. Would recommend the Autopots to anyone wanting to try something new or doesn't have the time to hand water or be with their plants 24/7. Also collected some decent kief/pollen from the dried leaves which can be used for smoking, making of hash or dab. Still deciding what I'll do with it. Thanks for making the effort to view my dairy, see you with the next one. Much love and happy smoking my fellow growers.

This week everything is going perfect , purple punch is growing a very big top from other 6 seeds that i plant 10 days later 1 gorilla punch and wedding cheesecake are already flowering. I just found out that during preflower and first weeks of flower I must cut perfect ph micro to 50 % and perfect ph grow to 75 % to prevent N excess . They are growing big and healthy I still don't know what yield I should expect from these plants . Any idea

Grow Report — Week 6 From Seed (12/12 From Seed · Early Flower / Week 2 Flowering Transition) Quick Recap (for new joiners) This is a 12/12-from-seed run, now entering Week 6 from seed, which we can comfortably call early flower / second week of flowering transition — though we don’t obsess over labels. We follow the plants, not the calendar. Two plants, two approaches: • Plant A: Metal clips + harder structural training, with a short 18/6 period earlier on, plus LST • Plant B: Pure 12/12 from seed, gentle LST and leaf positioning only Both plants are now fully in flower mode, no doubt about it, just expressing it differently, which is expected and welcomed. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Day temperature: ~28°C (successfully raised) • Humidity: ~65% Even though it’s still a bit cold outside, increasing plant mass, higher lighting intensity, and added under-canopy lighting have turned the tent itself into a stronger and more stable heat source. This allowed us to stabilize conditions naturally, without forcing anything — exactly how we like it. Lighting & Atmosphere • PPFD: ~600–850 (depending on plant size and position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm Airflow • Unchanged and dialed in • Vortex extraction • Cross-winds with multiple fans • Constant, gentle movement across the canopy The goal remains the same: fresh air, no stress, no stagnation. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy This week marks an important and intentional nutritional transition. • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 From this point forward, all feedings will be pH 6.0 and above. Why? As flowering progresses, nutrient uptake priorities shift. A slightly higher pH improves the availability of key elements needed for bloom development, and the plants are clearly asking for it. Nutrient Change • Introduced: Terra Bloom — 5 ml/L • Removed: Terra Grow This switch is happening now, not earlier, because the plants have clearly entered the flowering transition. No rush, no shock — just listening to plant signals and responding accordingly. The current Plagron-based approach continues to perform exceptionally well, and plant response has been outstanding so far. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Behavior & Training Notes Both girls are looking amazing, each in their own way. • The metal-clip + harder-trained plant looks structured, composed, and confident • The pure LST plant is expressive, vigorous, and stretching beautifully The plant that experienced a short 18/6 period is currently smaller, noticeably so — which is interesting and worth observing. Not better, not worse — just different. Different light histories, different training styles, different expressions. This is exactly why side-by-side approaches are so valuable. Both plants are: • Healthy • Actively flowering • Responding positively to the environment and nutrition Plant A — Canopy Management Note This was also the week where a light, selective defoliation was performed on Plant A to open the canopy slightly and improve light penetration. She is clearly more advanced in flower development, visually closer to what would normally be considered around day 21 of flowering, and the timing felt right. Only larger, blocking leaves were removed — no stripping, no stress — just enough to: • Improve airflow • Expose developing flower sites • Support her more advanced flowering pace The plant responded calmly and confidently, confirming that the intervention was well-timed and appropriate. They’ve also been in and out of the studio for photos — and they handled it like champions. The in/out space continues to work perfectly. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not to Expect) What to expect: • Continued flower set and structural definition • Stretch management through positioning, not force • Gradual increase in flower density as nutrition settles in What NOT to expect: • No aggressive defoliation • No forced stress techniques • No chasing numbers just for the sake of it This run is about clarity, observation, and respect for plant rhythm. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words A big thank you to: • New joiners discovering this run • Old souls following along quietly • The curious, the critical, the lovers, the haters • Sponsors, supporters, and the wider community Every set of eyes matters. Every perspective adds value. More updates soon — this was Update 1, and we’ll be back after more time with the girls. As always: slow hands, clear eyes, and trust the plant. 🌱✨ FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

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.

Another week of slow progress. Plants have been getting the max amount of nutrients for a few weeks now, and thc crystals are forming like snow. Still looking quite different from the Purple Lemonade Auto. The smell is still a bit annoying. It's not such a danky smell, but some terpenes seem to be only partially filtered. Nothing that a small room air filter wouldn't solve, but still. Might have to look into different terpenes that are know to be resistant to activated carbon filters. Overall though, strong plants. looking very good. I seem to have overwatered one of them yet again as a few bugs started to fly around, so let's see if anything tries to sabotage the last stages :D

Wow she is huge. Flowers are everywhere and all very very frosty. Buds are getting taller and fatter with each day. I'm trying to balance her feeds as I have some bug issues and I don't want overly wet soil ATM so I have been feeding from the bottom letting her roots soak it all up. Predators arrive in the week but they seem to be leaving this one alone and picking on her 4 daughters instead. Temps at night are becoming an issue so will deploy my green house heating tube to try and keep temps near 20 at night. Was 15c last night.... I hope for more growth through this week. Can't believe she is so fat already and only halfway through flower.. Thanks for looking. Stay safe😷😷😷 Happy growing.🌱🌿🌱

Moved her into a new 80x80x160 tent two days ago and the 20 extra cm in height were necessary to accommodate the stretch. Her light has also been upgraded to 150 cm. I'm happy with the density of the bud sites and expecting a good yield.

La pianta cresce a pieni ritmi, sono sempre più sorpreso di quanto sia resistente questa varietà. Ho scalato un pochino n perché si sta avvicinando alla vera e propria fioritura, sto cercando di mantenerla il più basso possibile. Ho defogliato un pochino sono indeciso invece se levare tutte le future cime pop corn e lasciare solo gli apici voi che dite? Comunque grazie a tutti per aver seguito questa settimana ✌️💯💣
