Week 3: Adapting and Thriving Transplanting to Larger Pots This week, I transplanted the plants into 11-liter fabric pots filled with Plagron coco coir mixed with perlite (70/30). The small pots were already root-bound. It's often said that a plant will stop growing when the taproot reaches the bottom of the pot. Personally, I think this is nonsense, but we'll see. This transplant provides them with more space for root development and better aeration, promoting healthier growth. Growth Observations The plants are showing significant growth, with vibrant green leaves and sturdy stems. The increased light exposure from the greenhouse setup is clearly benefiting them. Their resilience is impressive, and they appear to be adapting well to their environment. Feeding and Watering As the coco mix dries out, I am preparing for their next feeding. Following the Terra Aquatica Tripart feeding chart, I have increased the nutrient solution to an EC of 1.0 mS/cm. This should provide them with the necessary nutrients without the risk of nutrient burn, especially for autoflowering strains. I will not go higher than this concentration to ensure their safety. Improved Weather Conditions The weather has improved significantly, with very little rain and temperatures ranging between 19°C and 22°C for the next few days. This stable weather is ideal for the plants, providing them with consistent conditions to continue their healthy growth. Daily Care Routine My daily routine includes checking the plants in the morning and evening, adjusting the greenhouse openings as needed, and monitoring the moisture level of the coco mix. This consistent care helps me stay on top of any changes and address them promptly. Looking Forward As we progress into the third week, I am excited to see how the plants continue to develop in their new, larger pots with the adjusted nutrient levels. The combination of a controlled environment, balanced nutrition, and diligent care is setting a strong foundation for their growth. Update on 11.06.2024 Today, I fed my plants for the second time this week. During this feeding, I adjusted the nutrient amount for the vegetative phase (2/3 of the recommended amount from Terra Aquatica): CalMag: 2 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.45 mS/cm) Grow: 1.2 ml/l Bloom: 0.8 ml/l Micro: 0.4 ml/l EC: 1,166 ms/cm (536 ppm PPM-500/TDM) PH: 5,83 The plants were watered with approximately 20% drain. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this journey.

Can’t believe I got 78g of bud of her! That’s nearly double what I usually get of 1 plant 😂 maybe it was due to giving her 7 weeks of veg, rather than the usual 4 weeks!? Either way I’m buzzing She’s coated in sugar and stinks!! The high is strong giving a massive couchlock and the munchies! She smelt and tasted like usual cheese but obviously much nicer and stronger 😌

Que decir os esta semana?!? Pues os dejo un vídeo en Alta Definición 4K, que os dejará ver los aspectos preciosos que se han desarrollado en los últimos 10 días. Primer aspecto de relieve, la cantidad muy elevada que he estimado tener hasta el momento y que puede que se encuentre en casi 350g sin secar y es muy sencillo, el árbol Sativa que se diseñó con el ScroG, ha tenido un crecimiento fantástico conectando internudos que tenían un espacio que no dejaba anticipar que los cogollos se fueran a unir unos a otros. La descripción de la cepa, dava a la Strawberry Cheesecake Automática de Barney's como un "cultivar" con posibilidad de yeld/m² sobrepasando los 600g/m² y la matemática de mi grow tent nos dice sin lugar a duda que tenemos una área de 0,7 m² o sea que la cuenta de productividad nos enseña que de modo muy claro estaremos por arriba en lo expectable y con lo que está diseñado en la estructura de cogollos, se han formado con los supercropping y el Scrog, al menos 6 colas que tendrán como casi 30 cms, sobre las ramas y un espesor casi como una lata estrecha de bebida y en el vídeo es muy presente lo que os digo. Después y en una línea alternativa nos ha salido adelante, pero muy justa, la Critical Jack Herer de Delicious Seeds. Ambas las cepas son fenomenales cuanto a la calidad de sus terpenos y las hojas de azúcar y porcentaje de resinas es muy elevada...pese a que como he ya referido en la pasada entrada del diário, que las dos cepas no son las más aromáticas y eso no representa un problema...o a lo mejor, si olieran mucho, ahí si tendríamos un problema que cualquier productor puede que tenga si las familias Skunk,Haze, Cheese o Sours se presentan a "grow". Se de experiencia sobrada que cuando empezemos la seca en el saco red y bajando la humedad de la habitación para un nivel aceptable en la seca de los cogollos (rondando los 40%) seguro tendremos un olor mucho más intenso y en esos momentos y por que el armario y el área de red de secado se encuentran en la habitación más interior de mi piso, tendremos por precaución el cuidado de a diário, quemar un par de astillas de incienso de preferencia, el sándalo de Sri Sai Baba, que es un increíble disfraz del olor canábico. Por mis cuentas tendremos más 10 a 14 dias de Strawberry Cheesecake, antes del flush final y después a los 6 días del flush, haremos el "sacrificio" de esta bella planta. Cuanto a la Critical Jack Herer, tengo seguro que todavía tendremos como al menos más 3 semanas como mínimo, para la engorda de cogollos y para la maduración de pistilos y terpenos. Es muy claro para mí, que la temporada de otoño 2022 y por que nos han tocado dos perfectos fenótipos Sativa, tardarían mucho más que los 80 días que cuando consulte las caracterizaciones de las cepas, pensé en principio que tendría y queda muy claro que con las Indicas que se anunciaban y con la evidencia de Sativas que al final nos salieron, tendríamos más tiempo de grow. O sea que esta temporada de otoño del 2022 que con el seedling, empezado el día 12 de septiembre en las dos cepas, tardará al menos en una de ellas, a desarrolarase casi como se de una fotoperiodica se tratara. Si lo sé plantaría fotoperiodicas y eso sí, por el tiempo consumido en esta temporada, tengo muy presente que las opciones para la primavera 2023 se decantan, de momento y de modo muy claro, por plantar tan solo una fotoperiodica que pueda garantizar un elevadísimo yeld y una calidad sobresaliente y en este momento, mis opciones se decantan por el experimento de grow con la cepa Bay Burger de Delicious Seeds, con su potencial de producción de casi 1kg/m² y su impresionante cantidad de THC que sobrepasa los 27%. Os apuntáis?!? Un saludo a todos y un lobor al Dios Jah, que con su planta de la virtud original, sigue sembrando la paz, entendimiento y amor entre Hombres. One Love.

Week 12 - Venom OG and an unknown seed strain. Tap water and Espoma Bloom full dose - 18hr light schedule At this point I learned that I need to really make more use of my area for my plants by fiming, LST, SoG, etc.... I plan to try to monster crop the Venom OG and try to get some different results. It's not an auto-flower plant so I'll have some time to veg it to the way I want to see it before it gets too big.

12/15: Some plants are taking too long to transition and stretching beyond my space constraints, so I dialed the photoperiod back to 12/12. 12/16: Fed today and rotated edge plants. Added another 150w of 3000k below the canopy. Sucrose Overdose and Muscadine Wines are still stretching...raised lights again. 12/17: Worked on ventilation...no A/C necessary now, as I'm using another AC Infinity 6" fan to intake outdoor air into the closet whenever temps reach 75f..and it's been cold as hell outside.👍 The final trick will be to replace the 6" exhaust fan with an 8" so as to be able to fully exchange the closet air faster ...but that's gonna have to wait til next season. 12/18: Supercropped a Muscie... again... now she's doing the "letter 'S' thang. I'll force the curves tighter over the new few days if she keeps stretching.

Welcome to week 9 of my grow diary. In the middle of the week, I decided to pull the four main shoots apart using plant wire and binder clips, as the side shoots in the middle weren't getting enough light. Fortunately I couldn't find any more mildew. The weather continues to be great. See you next week!

Day 35 is here. We are a week into flower and most the plants are just starting to hit that flowering stretch. I have been bending them down a little every couple days, but I need to focus on cleaning up some of the bottom branches so we can keep good air flow through the plants. Will work on that through this next week. I haven't done a water change, just been topping off the reservoir with fresh nutrients as they drink it up. Feeding half and half maxigro and maxibloom. Will cut out the maxigro in a couple weeks when I notice their stretch slowing down. I had a plant overflow this week because the drain line is getting full of roots. I noticed a couple roots have made their way into the reservoir already. I set a pump timer to 1 minute on and 20 minutes off so they can drain properly. I would like to make it through the grow without having to mess with the drains, but we will see what happens. I will make some modifications if needed. Other than that everything is running smooth and I hope we have some little pistils to show by next week. Thanks for stopping by ✌️

🌿 Mentha de Croco – Harvest Report | Week 19 from Seed (End of Week 8 Flower) 🌿 By Terpyz Mutant Genetics And just like that, we close this incredible chapter in our mutant journey. 💚 After 19 weeks from seed, including a long, loving veg phase and a wild 8 weeks of flower, our girls have reached the final moment: Harvest. Each one was chopped with gratitude and admiration, then gently hung to dry, where they will now rest for about two weeks under carefully controlled conditions: 🌡️ 18–20°C 💧 60% RH …A slow, respectful cure to allow all those unique expressions to settle and shine. These plants were peculiar from the start, true mutants, each with her own story, her own twist of leaf, her own rhythm. What they lacked in size or symmetry, they made up for with character, energy, and intense presence. Let’s talk terps: The dominant aroma is deeply chemical, like nail polish, with a gas note that grabs the senses. It’s bold, loud, unapologetically strange, and that’s what makes it so special. This isn’t your everyday garden — this is an experience. No two flowers are alike. The phenotypes are as if sculpted by nature’s abstract brush, perfect in their imperfection, from the shape of the colas to the twist of every leaf. 📸 We’ve shared photos of their final moment standing — each one captured in her full glory before the shears came in. May they live on through memory, resin, and smoke. ⸻ Dry & Cure Notes: They’re hanging now in a dark, clean space, and we’ll aim to maintain the 60/60 rule (60% RH / 18–20°C) for the next 10–14 days before trimming and jarring for cure. Expectations are high. We’re hoping for smooth smoke, complex flavors, and some deep mutant magic in the effects. ⸻ 🌱 Shout-outs to the dream team: @terpyz_mutant_genetics – creators of this beautiful madness 💧 @aptus_holland – for the cleanest mineral recipe in the game 💡 @futureofgrow – lighting the path forward 📊 @trolmaster.agro – keeping every condition dialed in 💚 And always, the Grow Diaries community – friends, followers, lurkers, lovers & haters alike.

Well the plant has been growing tremendously very easy to control the stretch with the scrog method. The plant should only experience it’s final stretch this week although very hard to say considering the FFT strains have yet to be disclosed. Overall very happy with this grow, great genetics to work with. Looking forward now to see the rewards!!! ✌️

Jeez this girl is just going off. I gave her a haircut so the light can penetrate further. The buds are stacking up nicely. The dark devil did not like being topped. This girl was my topping mainline/fluxx experiment. Proves it's possible but the dark devil I left alone as the control plant looks much denser with bigger fatter buds growing. I'm excited to see her continue on.

I took these on my Snapchat is why there is so many of them 😅 I'm currently doing the 48 hours of darkness to help produce more trichomes. I did SO MUCH to this plant, it looks like it will DEFINITELY have some weight to it, but you will have to wait until it's dry 😄

D29 : Watered with 2L of the mixed nutrients (1ml of Fish-Mix and 2ml of Bio-Heaven), ph´d at 5.8 in order to try to fix some cal-mag possible nutrient deficiency. Lights will be staying at 80% until she is totally into flowering. Did some bottom defoliation as well in order to prevent further thrip problems. D30 : Well, today was a big experiment day. I was watching some people doing some different types of training and decided to go a little further with my experiences and do some new training. I defoliated her A LOT (hopefully I don´t stunt her), took out the nodes that were on the bottom and had no chance to become at least medium-sized buds. Rearrenged all her LST and now she´s looking naked and beautiful lol. Let´s see how she responds, as I said before, this is and experiment for me to learn more about techniques. D34 : I did some defoliation today, took out some leaves and some tiny shooters that had no chance to become anything at least medium-sized. Watered with regular 6.2pH water. She´s looking very very beautiful, I have high hopes for this girl :) ! Also rearranged all the LST.

Hello growers. Power kush is doing great! Nice thick buds at the moment and it is still so soon. A long way to go. So i think this one will be worth it. On the bad side Ive had some troubles with 2 herma’s in my tent. I removed them I hope on time. So i will check every 2 days now. See you next week!

🌿 Week 4 – Vegetative Stage Strain: Permanent Marker (Zamnesia Seeds) Project: Dognabis Cup Example Grow 🌍 ⸻ 💚 Growth Before the Flip The girls are still in veg, but they’re showing such strong, pre-flower-like development that it almost feels like they’re ahead of schedule. Internodal spacing is tight, leaf formation is elegant, and both phenos (PM#1 and PM#2) remain incredibly similar in structure, color, and vigor. They have a compact yet big presence, lush canopies with balanced symmetry. The consistency in these genetics is impressive, and they’ve kept their health spotless from the start. ⸻ 📸 Studio Shots This week, we brought them into the studio to capture their beauty one last time before they transition to flower. Deep greens, perfect leaf serration, and textbook node formation, they’re looking ready for the big stage. ⸻ 💧 Feeding – No Change in Recipe We continue with the same nutrient schedule as before: • Start Booster – To encourage strong root systems and microbial support • CalMag Boost – To ensure no deficiencies and strong cell walls • Regulator – For nutrient uptake efficiency and plant resilience • pH: ~6.1 • Feed EC: ~0.6 (pellets in the soil are still doing a lot of the work) This consistency is key, we want them steady and strong going into the flip. ⸻ 🌿 Environment & Measurements • Air Temp: ~31°C (slightly high, AC unit arriving soon to improve this) • Humidity: ~50% • CO₂: ~700 ppm • Soil Temp: ~25°C • Watering: ~1.5–2.0 L/day, triggered at ~25% soil dryness • Soil EC: ~2.0 (nutrient balance remains ideal) • PPFD: 760–780 µmol/m²/s, with natural variation due to untrained growth pattern ⸻ 🎓 Why the Data Matters Tracking PPFD, soil EC, dryness, temperature, and CO₂ isn’t just technical, it’s about reading the plants. These numbers help anticipate issues before they show visually, fine-tune growth rates, and ensure optimal conditions for the flip. ⸻ 👑 The Queen Awaits Permanent Marker remains one of the most exciting modern strains, a new-school heavy-hitter with legendary parentage (Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb Bx). As an example grow for the Dognabis Cup, these plants are showing exactly what careful, consistent cultivation can achieve. ⸻ 🔮 Next Week: The Flip This is the last week of vegetative growth. The next stage will see the girls officially move into flower, where we expect explosive bud site development and that unmistakable Permanent Marker frost. For now, we enjoy the sight of healthy, happy queens, calm before the floral storm. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.
