Week 9

Hi guys, as we are in isolation I thought it would be a good time to try and grow my own weed so got my self a 1.2 x1.2x2 tent 600w hps light and all the shogun nutrients I’ll need. Also running a 4” carbon filter system. I did some research on the best way to start autos and I went with just planting them straight into there final pots on 18/4/20 the medium I am using is already charged so using just 6.8 ph water with the light been on 24hrs. All 3 seeds Sprouted in 72hrs. Going to keep the light on 24hrs for another 4 days then will switch to 18/6 in week 2. Was struggling with low humidity a couple of days in, so purchased a humidifier which seems to have helped bring it up to between 60- 75%. Also adapted the clean air intake to my tent so it’s bringing in cool out side air. Can’t help but keep on checking on them like a kid in a sweet shop 😂.

Well, well, well, well, for being my very first exprerience in indoors i've seen it very easy, the results were not spectacular, but they are /- what i was expecting. For being the first i think it ended up very well and i have learned too much. I'm happy with de decision of growing auto strains and 1 euro seeds to do my incursion to indoors. For initiating, auto strains are an excelent choice as they don't need too many care to grow them. If you leave them, you will have a good plant, if you expend a bit of time on them (just a bit), they can became awesome plants. Now i'm going to test with photo-period strains, yesterday night the cotyledeons of 2 Dinafem Gorilla Glue and 1 Strain Hunters Money Maker were out, the other Money is still in. Soon i will start this Gorilla Vs. Money Diary (with better photo equipment and lights) . Green Cheers to everyone!!!!! ***** Bueno para ser mi primera experiencia con un armario en indoor lo he visto bastante sencillo, los resultados no son espectaculares, pero si están dentro de mis cábalas. Para haber sido la primera yo diría que ha ido bastante bien y he aprendido un montón. Me alegro haber escogido una genética auto y unas semillas de 1 euro para haber hecho la primera prueba. Para iniciarse las genéticas auto son excelente pues no necesitan de cuidados ni control de tiempos. Si las dejas, te saldrán como el breeder haya decidido desarrollar su genética, si las cuidas un poco (no mucho) te darán mejores resultados. Para mi ha sido una buena iniciación, ahora voy a probar con foto-dependientes, ayer noche salieron los cotiledones de 2 Gorilla Glue de Dinafem y 1 de una Money Maker de Strain Hunters, la otra money aún no ha salido. Pronto iniciaré el diario Gorilla Vs Money (con mejor equipo de fotografía e iluminación) - Saludos a todos!!000

14 días desde la aparición de su fase de plántula y es como si estuviesen montadas en un cohete 😮! la mezcla de "Superguano" y "Microvita" de Top Crop en las medidas exactas, hace que las plantas crezcan increíblemente bien, fuertes y sanas, estoy enamorado sin duda alguna. Ahora comenzamos con la tercera semana, estoy sacando fotos diariamente para que se pueda ver el crecimiento de ellas, ayer domingo 17 de noviembre, hice el primer riego con 1,5 litros de agua con un 50% de "Top Veg", esto quiere decir 2 ml. de nutriente, por 1 litro de agua. No hice fotos de hoy en la mañana, pero en la tarde subiré un vídeo de como vienen. Les recuerdo que pueden ver más fotos y vídeos de todos mis cultivos anteriores, mis "tips" y otras cosas en mi instagram @donpato_cultiva. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 14 days since the appearance of its seedling phase and it is as if they were mounted on a rocket 😮! The mixture of "Superguano" and "Microvita" by Top Crop Nutrients in the exact measurements, makes the plants grow incredibly well, strong and healthy, I am in love without a doubt. Now we start with the third week, I am taking photos daily so you can see the growth of them, yesterday Sunday November 17, I made the first irrigation with 1.5 liters of water with 50% of Top Veg, this means 2 ml of nutrient, per 1 liter of water. I did not take pictures today in the morning, but in the afternoon I will upload a video of how they come. I remind you that you can see more photos and videos of all my previous crops, my tips and other things in my instagram @donpato_cultiva. have a nice week! ___________________________________________________ que tengan una hermosa semana., gracias por ver. Buenos humos!👽

Day1: Father and child both doing well after a successful and happy birth. Day 2: The stem stretched a bit further than I would have liked so I’ve added another layer of soil to build up around the stem and I’ve moved the light a bit closer. Looks good now. Day 3: Continued to use the Force to make the seedling grow. It’s looking happy and healthy. It’s tedious work just standing there 18hrs a day. Day 4: Another good day of growing. I had R2 telling me dirty jokes to keep me distracted from the monotony of the task. Put some water around the stem just to dampen it down a bit. Day 5: Nothing to report. It’s already starting to feel like I’ve been here for a light year but Mr.Nelson said he’ll be bringing round some bud soon so that should help with the boredom. He said it’s important that I learn for myself by actually trying it, the difference between Indica and Sativa. Day 6: Dampened down soil around seedlings 🌱 Day 7: A week down and everything is looking good. Dampened down soil again today around seedling 🌱

Que hay familia, volvemos por aquí y actualizamos la quinta semana de floración de las Original de GrowBarato. Jodo, que aroma más rico que desprenden, cómo están progresando y cómo se están poniendo repletas de polen. Estoy bastante contento aún siendo los ejemplares de granel, orgulloso del resultado hasta ahora. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 45%/55% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

Mas tarde actualizo los comentarios Dia 29: Descanso Dia 30: Riego Dia 31: Descanso

Sun and Summer finally arrived with 35ºC at the moment. Since 2 days ago, the plant is growing new leaves and the buds are turning into branches again... Feeded with flower nutes.. Cut 2 branches and put it in a ph 7 water, tiny roots are developing as you can see in pictures, i know is not the best clonning method but im experimenting, as this is the way i do it with normal plants.

great strain hard buttons heavy total life of 88 days. 84 after being born, besides having broken it will give me a good yield I will wait 90g to dry, for an automatic with 5.5 liter pot I think this is great. easy to grow very, very cold, sweet, sour, aroma, I'm happy .. final summary the lady still gave me 110g dried without branches and leaves very clean .. I am very very satisfied with the result both in the quality of the herb and the yield @Fast_buds @spiderfarmer @advancednutrients @growdiaries

DAY 14 VEG. Hi growmies. I hope the green gods have been present in your grows this week. It has been a fairly good week for some of the girls this week but the tiny little Mexican airline had me convinced it would give in. Thankfully she hasn't and has now started to really begin growing with some healthy looking new growth pushing through in the last few days. Similar with the Strawberry Pie #2 and her toxic shocked look , she has got over the soils strength ow j think and begun to form normal leaves without the twist and darker colour ( clear sign of not liking something!) All of the plants have settled in fully now and the soil has started to work its magic hopefully. Trying to get the water cycle on point is the next task with it. I have been using 10L watering sessions to get it moist and will use a cheap soil probe to check the bottom for waterlogging . Next watering I will add the biosys tea again to support the soil life. The amendments should have all broken down nicely now so it is just watering from here in in hopefully. With ising 1 bed for 3 plants , I will be watching for the leaf green shade lightening , especially in flowering , and if needed use Megacrop as an additional feed. At this point it looks like the Strawberry Pie #1 and six Shooter #2 are leading the field but I get the feeling this light will help even that race quick sharp. I have now put it to 100% power as I do think these ladies will go for it this week now. No decision on the training yet but in will let their growth guide that one . Well thsts about it for this one as not too much happening yet. Enjoy the video and any comments more than welcome. Be safe and well Growmies. God bless. TIP SPREADING I am using a method I learnt about a while back called tip spreading. It is a very simple process but can be very helpful if trying to control height in minutes spaces. It can also help to lessen the gap lengths between nodes on leggy strains. It is by no means a guarantee that the tall sativas will become bonsai bushes by a long shot but it does help to shorten the gaps there too. It is done while the plants are in veg and as each new pair of leaves form on the grow tips , we gently open them out so that the new emerging below gets light to it . This will encourage it to grow out quicker than waiting until the previous node has gone through the slower process of opening naturally. We are essentially rushing their growth for them. They are very delicate at this stage so it is a gentle process that must be done with a lot of caution and a slow pace. Hopefully the video will help and the effects will be shown during the growth over the next few days/weeks. Be safe growmies.

28 días de mis hermosas nenas... A una semana lo más probable las pasare a florar!!!

Day 57: Today I defoliated all the plants again. It wasn't much on the Tropical Marker, but I had to remove quite a bit from the other two because they're growing very bushy. I also wove the shoots further into the net. I think it's turning out really well. I also watered the Tropical Marker and the Purple Kush with 2 liters of water each with fertilizer and a pH of 6.3. I set the light to 80%. The Tropical Marker's flower is getting bigger and bigger! Day 58: Not much new has happened; they've enjoyed the defoliation and more light. All the girls are preaching to the light. I've also woven some shoots further into the net. Day 59: Hey guys, the plants look great! The Purple Kush and Pink Gelato are starting to stretch more. The buds are slowly forming. Today, I watered all three plants with 2 liters of water. I added 5 ml of Hes-Bio-Bloom and 1 ml of Bio-Bizz-Calmag to the water per liter. Then, I increased the pH to 6.4 with bio-bizz-up. Here and there, I weaved some shoots further into the net. Day 60: The girls look good and are preaching to the light. Today I measured the PPFD. It was between 600 and 740 PPFD. So I set the light to 90%. Now I've measured a PPFD of 700-850. I'll observe how the ladies like it and increase the value if necessary. I've also woven the shoots further into the net. It's very hot in the tent, so I set the fan to 80%.

To be clear I flush with plain water for two days and use nutes on the 3rd. At this point the doses are tailored to each plant but the general count is correct. Added the lava lamp for root warmth and the good vibes; thanks Dave and Busters !

G13 Auto has bounced back good from the rough start. She is growing under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 in the Athena blended line nutrition. She has started to show her pre flowering pistils. I will likely do a solution change in about a week for a blooming mix. The big growth spurt should start soon.

🌸 Week 7 Flower – The Calm Before the Harvest And here we are — week seven of flower, and what a journey it has been. From the very first drops of water on tiny seeds to these full, mature blossoms now bowing under their own weight — the Gelonade girls have written their own story in green and gold. Both phenos, #1 and #2, are stunning. Pheno #2, the unicorn with her foxtailing beauty, continues to fascinate — those whimsical towers of calyxes spiraling like dreams reaching for the light. Pheno #1, elegant and balanced, stands beside her sister with a classic structure, both radiating health and character. Together they show us two faces of the same soul — different yet equally divine. 💧 Now It’s Just Water This week, the feeding bottles rest. No more nutrients, no boosters, no extras — just pure water. This is the flush, the gentle cleansing before harvest. By giving only water, we let the plants draw on their reserves, enhancing smoothness, flavor, and the purity of the final smoke. It’s a closing ritual — a moment of reflection and respect for everything these plants have given. 🌱 Quick Recap – From Seed to This Moment • Germination began with The Cannakan method — simple, precise, full of hope. • Vegetative growth brought vigor, beautiful branching, and the discovery of the now-legendary funky leaf mutation. • Transplant into the 11L Amnesia fabric pots gave them the space to breathe and thrive. • Flowering came like a symphony — weeks of stretch, light, and color; a perfect balance of Aptus and Plagron nutrition; canopy lights dancing from above and below. • Foxtailing appeared on Pheno #2, transforming her into a work of art, a living sculpture of what happens when genetics, environment, and light decide to play together. Now, the flowers are glistening — pistils curling, trichomes milky, the scent rich and intoxicating. They are close… very close. Maybe not quite harvest yet, but whispering that they’re ready to show us their final act. 🌿 What to Expect Next In the coming days, we’ll watch for trichomes turning amber, for the pistils darkening, and for that subtle shift in the aroma that says “it’s time.” Expect colors to deepen, aromas to intensify, and the garden to take on that unmistakable aura of readiness. What not to expect? Rush. The girls have given us everything — now we simply wait, watch, and let them finish in peace. 💚 Gratitude To the community, the growers, the dreamers, the quiet watchers — thank you. To the sponsors and creators who make the gear that lets us grow — thank you. To the lovers and the haters — thank you too; you both push us to evolve. And to the Gelonades — thank you for being the living proof that care, patience, and love can create art from soil and light. 🌸 Closing Thought This week feels like the pause between heartbeats — the silence before the song’s last note. Everything we’ve done led us here, and everything that comes next will bloom from this moment. “May the waters run pure, may the buds rest easy, and may we harvest not just flowers — but gratitude for every step that brought us here.” 📝 PS: Pre-Harvest Notes — Knowing When It’s Time The last stretch before harvest is all about observation and patience. Every grower wants to pick the perfect moment, but that moment is a whisper, not a shout. Here’s how to listen for it: 🌼 Trichomes Your best guide. Under magnification, they tell the story. When most are cloudy with a few amber heads starting to appear, the flowers are at their peak — full potency and rich aroma. Clear trichomes mean “not yet,” while too many ambers mean the effect will lean heavier and more sedative. 🧡 Pistils Watch the hairs. Early in flower they stand white and proud, but as harvest nears they curl in and darken to orange or brown. When roughly 70–90% have changed color, the plant is signalling readiness. 🍃 Leaf Fade As you feed only water, the large fan leaves begin to pale, pulling the last stored nutrients into the buds. This is a natural and healthy fade, not a deficiency — it means the plant is completing her life cycle. 💨 Aroma Shift In the final days, the scent deepens — less sweet, more complex. Sometimes you’ll notice earthy, gassy, or fruity tones becoming more defined. That change means the terpenes are reaching full maturity. 🌙 Energy Even the way the plant feels changes — the branches seem to relax, the weight of the flowers makes them bow slightly, as if in quiet surrender to the harvest. When all these signs align — trichomes milky with a touch of amber, pistils mostly curled and dark, the fade in motion, and the room filled with a full, mature scent — then it’s time. Until then, let her dream a little longer. The last few days often bring the biggest magic. ✨ 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

She has jumped to 28 inches. Impressive really. Defoleated A lot of useless bottom crap. Her stem has healed and is about 1 inch thick. She is looking and growing great.

Hello. After I took the video I flushed the plants and had back flow into the 15 gallon barrel. Measured the ph and it was 6.2 Good enough. Just checked my calendar where I've written my info for years, (grow diaries is new to me) I saw this is almost the end of week 7 for me (Thursday was the first 12/12 and then I count from there) With the tents help I started flowering on May 28. I'll start my flush (with 1 ounce of Hydrogen Peroxide to 5 gallons of water) after 8 weeks and harvest after 2 weeks of flush. I'll give it some dark days only if it's wet and rainy, a black tent in a greenhouse gets too hot. I've found some more powdery mildew this week. I 've bought a product called White Wash. It's frequency changed water. Knocks it right out. We need some hot days here to kill the spores. In the video you'll see the plants (girls) that have volunteered to have sex with the male Dr Atomic Northern Lights I have under my lights, 20/4 that i start my vegetables under in the early spring. The girls and the male will be put in my smaller greenhouse around August 1 and will be put back in this greenhouse to finish to seeds. I'll keep you informed. Talk to ya later. Chuck.

3rd flower week complete. I cant help but think I've ruined one of the 2 girls. Shes taking a really long time to recover and bud growth is slow and steady. I've defoliated for about an hour and a half tonight and now really need to get some sleep! I'll pop back tomorrow with lots more photos and a more in depth update on what has changed this week. Update........ so ive been caring for the burnt up plant throughout the week. Shes not gotten any worse but just seems a little stressed now. I decided to remove the worst of the burnt and dried up leaves last night. I know it will also cause stress but I didn't want the rotting leaves to cause any bacteria growth around the healthy plants. They've been on everyday waterings at around 1.6 EC. I've included some Hygrowzyme in the last few feeds in the hope some beneficial enzymes may help the root zone take on nutrients. Despite one of the pair being unwell the other is healthy and vigorous. Shes not getting the attention she rightly deserves so I've included lots of photos to this weeks diary. I wouldn't want anyone to be put off from growing this strain as it has so much potential. I'm hoping that the healthy plant produces the goods and leaves me wanting more.
