Week 6 Veg. The Wock smell is getting stronger by the day. Strong candy terps with gas, Straight GAS that stings the nose bit makes you want to take an even bigger huff. I can already tell she’s going to be stanky once flower starts. One thing to note about Wockesha is that she is a super compact plant with thick foliage once topped. I’ve started to introduce the bloom nutrients at 1tbsp/g. since I’ll be flowering in the next 3 to 4 weeks, I’m adding early to ensure that all nutrients in my living soil will be broken down and readily available to all plants as soon as bloom starts.

Day late on the update, pics/vids were taken on time tho just been a crazy week of harvests and trimming and keeping up with these. I transplanted all of them into 1 gallon bags 4 days ago from today. I linked up with Rain Science Grow Bags on Instagram and got them to offer all my followers and friends a discount of 10% off entire order from their site with the code ' bangdang ' so if anyone is in the market for a pot upgrade use that code. I got them in the mail 3 days after I ordered. Reason I went with Rain Science is because they offer identical air flow for rapid growth as the radicle bags, just using a different material and a tighter knit so water doesnt flood out the sides during feeds and when you pick these up when the coco is dry, it wont fly all over the tent like with the radicles. They're the optimal bag for autoflowers especially. These will get transplanted to the 3 gals before the flip and the flower tent is clearing out now. Just have to do a heavy cleanup and rearrange some shit and in they go.

Aquí ya en mi 8va semana después de cambiarlas a unas macetas más grandes de un aproximado de 15 litros. Bueno, se preguntarán dónde está la tercera si eran tres y ahí se ven dos. Resulta que se murió, aconsejo de mantener lejos a tus gatos. Sí, mi gato macho orinó en su sustrato (aconsejo siempre mantener limpio su arenero para que no busque otros lugares donde orina) y pese de hacerle su lavado de raíces y cambio de sustrato, no sobrevivió. Aquí fue la única vez hasta ahora que pasó algo así. Hasta ahora sigo renegando con el gato, pero bueno no es culpa de ellos, sino de uno mismo. Hay que ser más precavidos. Buenos humos!

Going to run 6 different fast buds strains this time.Dropped the seeds in the water and now a wait for the tap roots.One of the seeds is from Papaya cookies last run I found a single perfect seed and hopefully she grows as strong like the plant she come from :). Germinated all seeds in RO water at room temps for 24 hours and gave a little tap with a spoon and they fell to the bottom.I left them in the dark in water for 48 hours total and placed them in a warm wet paper towel in a sealed container for 24 hours.The seeds all developed nice tap roots 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch long and I planted in 5 gal pots.Using a 3 inch layer of fox farm ocean forest on the bottom and the top layer is Pro Mix.

The Blackberry Moonrocks have a really solid structure, they're looking super healthy. They're nice and big, but it does seem like they could be stretching a bit more. We might need to adjust the lighting or the nutrients to encourage them to grow taller. Well, another year has come and gone. Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and I want to wish all of you a happy and healthy 2025. May this year bring you all the things you've been wishing for. Let's make this the best year yet!

Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, this is going to be the easiest post harvest to date... it's crazy how the buds are able to grow with how little leaves there are for photosynthesis.. Anyway, she is a very it's different but in a good way smell..terps are awesome thank you again @Grow4Releaf... God bless and happy growing 🙏

I did a heavy defoliation last week,so majority of this week was about getting my plant back to a healthy phase. I did alot more LST as you can tell in the video to start more of an even canopy. I also raised my light by 4 inches to provide a little more stretch in each branch so I'd be able to manipulate it more with LST next week.

🍋 Lemon Cherry Gelato — Week 7 from Seed Flower Week 3 | 12/12 from Seed Welcome back everyone — and welcome to anyone just joining the journey 👋 This is our Lemon Cherry Gelato update, currently Week 7 from seed, which we’re considering Flower Week 3 in our 12/12-from-seed room. There’s a lot to talk about this week, so let’s start by bringing everyone up to speed. ⸻ 🌱 Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run is part of a larger 8×8 mixed-genetics environment, where multiple cultivars share the same room, light strategy, and environment. The approach from day one has been: • low stress • observational • plant-led decisions • learning in real time No chasing perfection — just paying attention. The Lemon Cherry Gelato plants have been vigorous and very bushy since early on, with strong branching and dense foliage that required intervention as flower development began to accelerate. ⸻ ✂️ Defoliation — Why This Week, Why This Way This week we performed a fairly deep defoliation, similar to what was done on a few other girls in the room. Why? • The plants were extremely bushy • Light penetration was becoming limited • Airflow needed improvement • Bud sites were stacking fast We removed a significant amount of inner and overlapping foliage to: • allow photons to pass through the canopy • improve airflow • help the plant focus energy where it matters It may look aggressive in photos, but it was done intentionally and carefully. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Structure & Phenotypes You’ll notice two slightly different expressions in the photos: • First photos → Lemon Cherry Gelato • Second one → what we’re calling the “other” Cherry Gelato Both plants: • very bushy • beautifully structured • incredibly lush green One plant showed some funky leaf expressions, but nothing concerning — genetics being genetics. Both were defoliated deeply, but not excessively — just enough to give them room to breathe. They are not alone in the room, and in a shared environment, balance matters. ⸻ 🔥 Minor Observations • A few burned leaves from under-canopy lighting • Nothing serious • Easily managed • Already addressed You’ll spot them in some of the mini photos. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding — Why We Changed Nothing This week, nothing was changed on purpose. Current parameters: • Day temperature: ~28 °C • Relative Humidity: ~65% • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 • Plant height: ~40 cm to ~80 cm • Lighting: LED Many growers would say these temperatures are too high for flower — but context matters. Under LED lighting, leaf surface temperature runs ~2–4 °C cooler than ambient room temperature. Because of that, we focus on leaf VPD, not room VPD. The plant is what matters — not the number on the wall. We are not chasing numbers. We are paying attention to them. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Response The plants are telling us clearly that they’re happy: • deep, lush green foliage • no visible stress • strong internodal structure • uniform nutrient uptake across phenotypes When the plant is happy, stability beats adjustment. That’s why the feeding stayed exactly the same this week. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and Not Expect) Next Week What we expect: • visible bud stacking • calyx development accelerating • stretch slowing down • energy shifting fully into flower production What we don’t expect: • major environmental changes • aggressive interventions • unnecessary corrections Next week is about watching, listening, and letting the plants work. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words To our humble eyes, this garden is looking outstanding — but we’re always open to: • criticism • suggestions • questions • different perspectives Lovers, haters, followers, OGs, newcomers — everyone is welcome here. This is a shared space, and interaction is how we all grow. Big thanks to: • the GrowDiaries platform • the sponsors • and everyone who takes the time to read, comment, and exchange energy If you have thoughts, ideas, or see something we could improve — please drop it below 👇 Let’s keep learning together 🌱💚 📡 Please stay tuned they can try and take us down but we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@DOGDOGTHEDOCTOR NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! 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. 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.

Hi guy and girls , This week we fire up are much awaited 12 pot run , I started growing in August due to current and on going lockdowns which is now turning into a more serious grow op. Intro 1.5 m W x 2m L X 1.8 m H X2 loadstar 660w dimmable ballast 250w , 450w , 600w , 660w, settings 2x Amazon basic fans 1x floor fan 2x clip on VORTEX fans ( adding soon ) X 5 16 Litre pots X 7 13 Litre pots X 2 Euro reflotors X x 20 m squared of mylar X lots of electric cables X 2 new HID dual spec bulbs X Swift Air filter ( carbon filter ) X basic humidifier X temperature control unit X 450w frost defender ( heater ) X electrical timers heavy duty and non heavy duty X PPM meter X PH reader X GHE and VITALINK nutes ( check pages ) Some of the equipment that I'll be using in this grow along with the gorilla girl xl auto well be growing 4 cream Mandarin xl auto and x 4 Black Cream Auto and attempting some sort of ScroG attempt on these lady's or LST to keep my canopy even but also to allow as much light penetration and usage of light ad we don't want to see the floor as where wasting space ... So to start this auto run I'm currently refitting the grow room but germanation will happen within this current week I'd say the 26-1-2021 Be back with more info Hey guys back with a quick update some new pics of the upcoming grow we start 25-1-2021 That's her up and running at x400w x2 Hopefully we achieve the high THC % of 25% some plants may surpass this amount under optimal conditions. A tall stemmed 6th (Gen)eration autoflowering Plant coming from gorilla girl (photoperiod) and Sweet Gelato auto Alongside the gorilla girl xl auto is Cream Mandarin xl auto Black cream auto 26-1-2021 girls have all cracked there shells and are now making there way above ground Mabey the 28-1-2021 we shall see some leaves popping up .. then we can start the clock and hopefully keep harvest time to the breeders recommended flowering time ..! Okay so checked again 17-1-2021 l, most have removed there shells and are now forming there frist leaves , all 12 girls seem to be on the same page, Mabey a days difference but that's not gonna matter . Stunning the plant is a different situation as that plant or plants will be at a different stage of under the netting which would not be a good thing so hoping all goes well from here to week two is to monitor the plants for the to introduce nutes Anyone any safe and effective pest prevention and cleaning products that are plant safe

Tip of the day: Never let an AI try to set nutrient ratios. The plant on the left is yellowing significantly compared to its neighbor, even though they are both on the same feed. Nutrient rates have since been readjusted to try to help the yellowing plant. I may lose some yield, but hopefully, she pushes through. There are five weeks left until the first yield in nearly two years, with another run right behind it: two clones of the same strain, which will complete the perpetual winter cycle. That will be a wrap until October of 2026. Happy growing, everyone!
