Hey Grow Diaries fam, We’ve reached Week 12, which marks Week 8 of flowering, and our PCRs are entering the final stretch! This is a crucial time in our grow, and we've made some significant changes to our routine to ensure the best possible finish for our beloved plants. Overview Our PCRs are looking absolutely stunning, with buds swelling to their full potential and trichomes sparkling like diamonds. This week, we’ve shifted our focus to flushing and preparing the soil for future use. Environment and Conditions Tent: 3x3, kept clean and efficient for optimal growing conditions. Lighting: ViparSpectra P2000, still providing the perfect spectrum as we approach harvest. Watering: TDS at 130, pH 6.8, and water temperature at 21°C, a significant shift from our previous nutrient-rich regimen. Nutrient Regimen This week, we’ve stopped all nutrient feedings and switched to using Aptus Holland Enzym+ exclusively. Here’s why: Aptus Holland Enzym+: This enzyme product is designed to break down dead root material and organic matter, converting it into usable nutrients for the plant. This process helps in: Clearing Residual Nutrients: Ensuring that the plants use up any remaining nutrients in the soil. Improving Soil Health: Enhancing the soil's microbial life, which is crucial for future grows. Promoting Clean Finish: Helping to ensure a smoother, cleaner taste in the final product by reducing excess nutrients and salts in the buds. The shift to Enzym+ at this stage is about preparing the plants for harvest and also ensuring that the soil can be reused effectively. Growth and Development The PCRs are in their final flowering phase, and they look incredible. With the nutrients now being flushed out, we’re focusing on maximizing the quality of the final buds. The leaves are starting to fade, signaling that the plants are using up their stored nutrients, which is exactly what we want to see at this stage. Soil Reuse One of the key advantages of using Aptus Holland products, especially Enzym+, is the ability to reuse the soil. Here’s how we do it: Soil Conditioning: The enzymes break down organic matter, improving soil structure and fertility. Microbial Boost: Enhances microbial activity, which is essential for nutrient cycling and soil health. Cost-Effective: Reusing soil reduces costs and minimizes waste, making our grow more sustainable. By reusing the soil, we ensure that our next grow starts with a rich, healthy medium, full of beneficial microbes and ready to support another batch of robust plants. Reflections This week has been all about transitioning our plants from heavy feeding to a clean finish. The Aptus Holland Enzym+ is doing its job beautifully, and the PCRs are responding well. The reduced TDS and adjusted pH are ensuring that we’re flushing out any residual nutrients, setting us up for a top-notch harvest. Shout Outs A huge shout out to: Aptus Holland: Your products make every stage of this grow a success. Enzym+ is a game-changer! Art Genetix: The PCRs continue to impress with their vigor and quality. Grow Diaries Community: Your support and advice are invaluable. Here’s to another fantastic week of growing! Stay positive, keep those good vibes flowing, and let’s get ready for a bountiful harvest.

Been feeding each plant with 2 litres once soil has dried out which is roughly 2 feeds a week. The yellowing and brown spots looks like its slowly getting worse even though enough nutes are being used. I have read online this is quite normal to see nitrogen deficiency close to harvest. I know I’m getting close and have been checking the trichomes every day and they seem to still be very clear and none turning orange.

Back to moving the plant in and outside. Bad weather coming up😕 This week was average, a few good sunny days but also cold nights. Started up with the green sensation and alga bloom. There are fan leaves that are showing a pretty quick yellowing. Not so healthy and green anymore now 😁This is maximum week 5 of flowering so it's a bit too soon to be losing leaves like that.. I'm Thinking she has a N defenciy because I barely gave grow nutrients since it was in the soil for the first 6 weeks. Second thing is a lack of light for those leaves. the Alga Bloom has N in it so I hope they revocer it a bit. The leaves on the buds themselves look good so it's probably the plant using the leaves for nutrients in this stage. Let me know what u guys think....? Update, look at the video, dirty bugs😠😠😠 caterpillars I think🤔 took away some infested leaves. And some of those fuckers. Hope it doesn't get worse Buds are starting to thickening, she has a little smell on her too by now. They already have some brown pistils on them. Nice plant but I hope the yellowing doesn't go to fast. 1,5L water with 4ml alga bloom and 1ml of green sensation was given this week. Will continue to give this for the next 3 to 4 weeks. Happy growing friends.

Good my motivation back this week have basically been doing the bare minimum to keep them going. So I have made a new base for my tent to go on in case of more floods in the cellar. I have set up the autopots today with the help of Bundyfarms. The plants have come on well this week since there repot. I used the greenhouse biofeed enhancer this week , you need to oh it down , but they really reacted well. I will leave them two more days which will be 10 days since they were transplanted, and will switch on the autopots which will give them ph 6.4 water . The soil is all premixed so there will be little to do for a couple of weeks till they will get the enhancer again. S600 from easy grow lights is on full power and looking forward to some speedy growth once the autopots kick in.

Día 50 Ya tengo los 4 esquejes creciendo junto con la madre. Hice un LST muy fuerte a la madre bajando y corriendo muchas ramas para que les de luz a los esquejes. El tamaño de los troncos es muy grande. Pero si la organización que tengo pensada sale bien, se va a aprovechar muy bien todo el espacio. En una semana espero que los esquejes tengan la altura de la madre y ya empieza la floración. La verdad que me demoró mucho más de lo esperado. Pero creo que va a valer la pena. Hoy agregué micorrizas de un proveedor que hace aptas para hidroponia. Solamente me falta ir a buscar los microorganismos eficientes. Ya tuve que poner 18 litros en el depósito, dado que la planta está comiendo mucho. Ya pronto se viene la floración y va a ser la hora de la verdad. El único inconveniente es que hace mucho frío donde tengo las plantas y no logro temperaturas mayores a 24°C. De todos modos espero que no dure tanto esta ola de frío. Ya se acaba la fase de crecimiento. Día 53 Hoy hice una defoliación muy fuerte y corte de varios brotes. Ya quedaron determinados los esquejes a sacar y las ramas que van a quedar. Si siguen a este ritmo, a finales de esta semana se pasan a floración. Solamente un esqueje está demorando el crecimiento. Pero creo que va a llegar bien. Amarré hacia abajo las 6ramas seleccionadas y dejé que los esquejes se estiren unos días más. Son unos 14 esquejes que pienso sacar. Y quedarían 22 ramas. Hay 2 que no se que hacer, así que en total tengo 38 "cabezas". De los esquejes me quedo con 1 o 2 para mantener la variedad. Los pongo en tierra así el crecimiento es más lento. El resto los termino regalando siempre. Ya pronto estaré viendo cuanto se estiran durante la floración.

42FAST Buds - Gorilla Cookies Auto - 67 days The buds are getting bigger and bigger, coated with sugary trichomes. While the trichomes are still clear, we couldn’t resist trying a small bud from the lower branches, and we’re pleased with the results! But it’s still a bit early, so we’ll wait for full maturity before harvesting. Exciting times ahead—stay tuned for more updates!

Beginning of week 4. All plants were topped. Have nearly doubled in size since last week. One of the auto Dark Purple has already started forming flowers, didn't expect that to happen already.

Die Woche war okay die Pflanze scheint sich langsam wieder zu fangen und an die neue Lampe gewöhnt zu haben sie ist nun in der ersten Blüte Woche d.h. nur noch 12 Stunden Licht am Tag leider ist mir und einem Freund die Tage aufgefallen dass irgendwelche Viecher im Boden rumkriechen von Trauermücken die Larven vermuten wir jedenfalls habe ich heute Nematoden hinzugefügt das sind kleine Tiere die ins Gies Wasser gemischt werden und die die Mücken und schlafen töten. Ich hoffe dadurch wird sie wieder ein wenig stabiler wobei ich sagen muss sie sieht jetzt nicht schlimm aus wie man den Bildern entnehmen kann aber sicher ist sicher.

She grew really well and strong, I topped both plants, and maybe I shouldn't be. Cause height, I'm just not getting in my autos and me topping them is leading me to believe that they are flowering earlier than they would if I just left them. But I'm still happy with how these grew, instead of 1 main cola I got 10 smaller ones, so I'm happy, they grew strong and quick, gave no trouble but a bit of nutrient burn. Very easy to grow and very resistant some of the most I've grown so far, they bounced back very quickly with the very few issues I did have, she was really easy to turn around and if you found this to be your strain, then you'll get some decent harvests back from a few plants, hoping to see 130-160g from both plants. WOW. 1.5 day on the cure and already I'm getting the bang of ripe bananas. The berries smell has kinda dropped a little. Amazing at how fast this smell took over. Ripe banana + fruity and a deep fuel has taken over my cure press. And the bud is in jars, it still stinks.

🌱 White OG - Week 11 VEG Strain: White OG by Seedsman Seeds Stage: Week 11 Vegetative Grower: DogDoctor Medium: PRO-MIX HP Mycorrhizae + Bacillus Pot: 30L Fabric Pot Lighting: Future of Grow LEDs Climate Control: TrolMaster Nutrients: Aptus Holland Clean Program Environment: 🌡️ Temp: 18.3°C 💧 pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: 1.0 ⸻ 🔄 The Last Week Before the Flip Week 11… a moment of calm before the bloom storm. A critical phase in our girl’s journey. This is the week we prepare her for greatness. 💪 ✅ Defoliation Madness: This week, we defoliate the hell out of her. That’s right—removing those large fan leaves that block light, those unnecessary suckers that won’t make it to the top floor, and freeing up her inner structure to breathe and expand. Why now? Because right before flipping to flower is the perfect time to help her redirect energy to the strong tops and main branches. It reduces the risk of mold, improves air circulation, and ensures even light distribution. Plus, it gives us a blank canvas for the flower stage to explode onto. 🌸💥 ✅ Clamp Release & Scrog Setup: We gently remove the training clamps, and in she goes into the SCROG net. But not in a rigid way—we’re inviting her to stretch, encouraging her to reach out and take up space. She’s a big mama now, and it’s time she gets the full stage. Each branch is dancing through the net like a diva ready for her solo performance. ✅ Roots on a Mission: She’s hungry for life. Roots are peeking out from the fabric pot, diving toward the light, the floor—everywhere. This PRO-MIX soil is magic, and with the help of the Aptus Clean Mix, she’s thriving. Her root zone is bright white and packed with potential. Healthy roots, healthy shoots, happy fruit. ⸻ Feeding This Week We’re still rolling with the Aptus Clean Line for this stage. Simple, effective, elegant. 🔹 Regulator – Helping her stay strong and stress-free. 🔹 RO Water Conditioner – Stabilizing and prepping our base. 🔹 All-In-One Liquid – Feeding her exactly what she needs without overcomplication. ⸻ 🌐 Shout Outs & Love Forever grateful to our amazing partners and supporters: 💚 Seedsman Seeds 💚 Aptus Holland 💚 Future of Grow LED 💚 TrolMaster 💚 PRO-MIX Soil 💚 Cannakan 💚 GrowDiaries 💚 The entire community—lovers, haters, followers, and the in-betweeners—you’re all part of this journey. 🌍 Come say hi on Instagram [@DogDoctorOfficial] and check out the Dognabis Cup – First Edition—open now! 🎉 Let’s celebrate passion, plants, and positive vibes. ⸻ 🌸 Let’s Bloom White OG is ready to bloom. She’s strong, structured, and full of fire. Next week begins a new chapter—the flowering stage. Let’s see what she has in store. 🌱 Stay kind. Stay curious. Stay growing. Much love, DogDoctor 💚🐾 #GrowDiaries #WhiteOG #ToppingMadness #AptusHolland #Mainlining #PlantTraining #GrowersLove #SeedsmanSeeds 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! 💚Growers Love 💚 🌿 DISCOUNT CODE - SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏

***** Week 12 growth - February 20 to 26, 2021 - Week 3 Flower ***** These girls have been happy all week and CL2 has looked happiest still. CL1 pheno came out of the gate stronger and taller from the beginning but I have been looking for a little more out of her so while I was giving GSC x 707Headband some fulvic acid in her feed I gave some to CL1 also. She has reacted well to it, or it certainly hasn’t brought about anything negative. Used Gold Storm at 5ml/L👍 CL2 is just freaking gorgeous and may be a keeper, in early growth anyways😃 Love her size, node spacing, leaf to calix ratio, thick branching, early trichome production......all on point so far🔥When I took a leaf the other day the underside vein appeared to be slightly starting a color change......should be some purple in there somewhere with that genealogy😍 Light is at 20” and pulling 480 watts at the end of the week. Stated off with 400 watts at the start of the week but keep pushing it up this week. I don’t want to break 1,000 to 1,100 PAR by very much as I am not supplementing with true CO2. I have an Exhale bag to raise it a couple hundred ppm. Feel the need to keep the intensity high for penetration lower in the canopy. Will lower the amount of time in daylight if stress gets too high. Push to 11/13???? Nutrients are following IPP HOG 3 Part pretty closely. Just playing with macro nutrient ratios but otherwise supplements are at full week dosages following week 3. Have been seeing great resin production last runs so staying with Rezin as part of their feed schedule in flower. Terpinator......I think I see a lot of sulfer benefit here so it stays in the grows as well. Recharge seems to be working out well but we did the change mid grow from Microbial Mass. Since in coco have to feed the microbes so they reproduce and really dig Nature’s Candy with Remos additives in there👍 To help keep the root zone clean we add Enzymes😃 I have been debating a lot lately about the addition of CalMag to these nutrient lines and it’s necessity but since in coco I keep adding some......noticed a couple of spots on MM2 so have added it back in a bit more this week. Little more detail....... Feb 20/21 - Day 15 - Full feed today.....it’s been five days. - tap water with Silica @ 1.5ml, IPP line at full strength. - 1400ppm and 6.1pH - CL2 given 4L with good runoff. - CL1 was given some fulvic acid in Gold Storm. Help with giving her a chance to stretch a little more. Little more node spacing.....bushier girl. - 5ml/L added to feed for 1490ppm and 6.1pH. She was given 4L with good runoff. Feb 21/21 - Day16 - Dry out day Feb 22/21 - Day 17 - watering with supplements and light feed today. We are in mid flower now.....need to keep the macro nutrients up. - Epsom salts @ 1 Tbsp in 20L. Purple on stems is getting prominent......could be cold temps but also giving magnesium. - Terpinator @ 3ml, Rezin @ 1.5ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml, grow @ 1ml, micro @ 2ml, bloom @ 2.5ml, Recharge @ 1 Tbsp in 20L. - 1400ppm and 6.0pH. - 4L Feb 23/21 - Day 18 - keeping up the silica this watering - silica @ 1ml, CalMag @ 1ml, Ultimate B+ @ 1ml - 600ppm and 6.0pH - 3L Little to no runoff this watering. Feb 24/21 - Day 19 - full feed again today.....girls are big and growing hard......keep it going💪 - IPP line as listed for full line. - Terpinator @ 3ml, Rezin @ 1.5ml - 1425ppm and 6.0pH - they are taking the high ppm feeding well. Feb 25/21 - Day 20 - Had some feed water left from yesterday. Added plain tap water to get 20L. - 810ppm and 6.1pH - 1.5L......don’t want to over saturate the medium. Feb 26/21 - Day 21 - Nothing today. - Will feed early tomorrow as it’s Saturday. - Let the root zone get some oxygen is my thought and water to nice runoff first thing in morning. Week 3 behind us and going into 4.....middle of flower and girls are feeding hard. Pushing the lights hard now as well so need to keep the ppm up👍 Little more variety in these two phenos but certainly not negative differences. In the end I think CL1 might have bigger colas than CL2 because she is getting some wide/thick bud tops. I do like the appearance of 2 better though because I suspect trim is going to be better as well😎 Again though......I am make sure nothing happens to the clone of CL2 and Mandarin Mimosa 1 right now💪👊 Good week ETS.....let the swelling begin🌟
