Start week.10 blooming

✌️🎃 Thank you for checking my cultivation. 😃 She’s more happy, me too. 🌿 Starting LST in #1

Happy Easter Everyone! Time for an update During week 10 NEW LIGHT installed!! ViparSpectra XS2000. So excited! I think the plants are a little shocked from the change in light but hopefully they recover just fine. This week 3 of the plants definitely started showing some issues I have never had before. I started noticing rust spots on the upper top leaves of the plants which I believe was the consequence of the following... A.Nutrient lockout B. Soil PH too low from over fertilization C. Soil PH being too low due to the peat moss in the growing medium. I have purchased dolomite lime as an organic alternative to properly balance soil PH for my next grow. I did do a light flush with PHd water at 6.5. Plan for week 11 Going to be adding some Calcium to the soil during next watering to see if that helps new growth on the plants (Tuesday) At this point I will be just keeping an eye on more rust spots forming on the leaves. I have backed off on adding more P & PK at this time because I think I over fertilized last time. I am learning a lot still with every week of this grow. I know now how to dial in the nutrients and better amending soil first. Since my soil has peat moss I think that had a lot to do with the acidity as it breaks down. Really hoping these girls continue to finish out okay! Thinking that they will take the full 14/15 weeks at this point.

Hey Guys its End of week 3 from the day these girls were placed in a jar, hoping they are females :) Plant #1 is looking great, started slow but picked up quickly 1st time of transplanting, it was a success, I was nervous. 1st week of nutrients, I tried to feed 1/3 to start Looking forward in training and topping my plants in week 4. Hopefully ill be able to detect there genders. Will read more info on cloning and will try to grow the same strains outdoors, off Course thats if they are girlas :) Stay tuned guys and thanks for all the support!

She has been topped the day after the last post and shes looking great! The pics are about 6 days apart from topping til now. She is growing quite vigorously and looks like she will be staying the dominant female in the tent! Really excited to see this strain start to flower. I'm thinking about 2-4 days until transplant, then another week after that roughly i'll be putting the plants into flower. I will add that I went from a quality carbon filter to a crappy one and back to quality again. The difference in price is like $15 but the differnece in quality is substantial. Much better at freshening up the air. The newer plants in the tent are some autos if people are curious. I will be doing a seperate diary for one of the small ones, pineapple express.

60x60 cm tent in a 1920's peek-in-closet Oversized vent for silence High power DIY LED True SoG 12/12 from seed with 15 plants in 2L pots Watering all plants in bottom tray with 30% of total pot size (10L) WEEK 1 DAY 1 - Germinated in paper towel DAY 3 - Planted into pots + Lights ON at 125w DAY 5 - All plants have broken soil DAY 7 - Slight stretch - Light at 185w WEEK 2 Two of the Iced Out are lagging behind, others are on point - I'm trying to push light and nutes to the max. Extraction fan (AC infinity Cloudline T6) on level 2. DAY 13 - First full watering (10L) with 20 ml Canna Terra Vega DAY 14 - Circulation fan turned on (low) during lights on WEEK 3 Good growth, two Iced Out still lagging DAY 18 - Light at 225w, Extraction fan on level 3 during lights on DAY 20 - 2nd watering, 8L with 30ml Vega + Light at 250w DAY 21 - On point, mostly :) Could've pushed nutes a bit more from the go WEEK 4 DAY 24 - So far this week I'm just kicking back and watching them do their thing. The two lagging Iced Outs are trying to catch up. DAY 26 - Watering 10L with 50 ml Vega (one day too late...) + light on 300w (max) DAY 28 - 4 weeks from popping the seeds, looking good except for the two Iced Outs, one of them is trying to get with the program, the other... Well, some plants are just pricks. WEEK 5 I think this is the week we'll see them take off :) DAY 29 - Plants are starting to show sex, removed 2 Urkle Mints males, the other two are females, the rest are fems so we're down to 13 female plants total with only a single weakling DAY 29 - Watering 8L with 50ml Vega (shouldn't have been later than today!) DAY 33 - plants exploded over the last 4 days and most are stretching and starting to flower DAY 33 - Watering 10L with 60ml Vega (feeding Vega once or twice more then we switch to Flora) DAY 35 - Just cruisin' 😎 WEEK 6 Lots of stretch the past week, flowers are setting in, the laggy Iced Out was culled, 3 plants are a bit behind the others.. DAY 36 - Watering 10L with 50ml Vega DAY 39 - Watering 10L with 50ml Vega DAY 42 - Defoliation WEEK 7 DAY 44 - Watering 10L with 50ml Vega DAY 47 - Switching to flowering nutes - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores WEEK 8 Had to break the stem on the stretchy Sugar Cane to keep it low enough DAY 51 - Watering 10L with 60ml Flores DAY 54 - Watering 10L with 60ml Flores WEEK 9 Starting to chunk and frost up. The 2 Urkle Mints regs are really small and slow but flowering, the slow Iced Out just started flowering and probably won't add up to much by the time the next grow needs to start. Platinum Jelly, Frosted Apricots, and Platinum Terple are looking really good, I knew PJ would kill DAY 57 - Watering 10L with 60ml Flores DAY 61 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores DAY 61 - Defoliation WEEK 10 DAY 65 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores + 15ml PK 13/14 DAY 69 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores + 15ml PK 13/14 WEEK 11 DAY 72 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores + 20ml PK 13/14 DAY 75 - Watering 10L with 40ml Flores + 20ml PK 13/14 (Last feeding)

Week 12 — GMO Cookies Served with extra curiosity ? Week 12 from seed marks what we call Week 7 of flower in this 12/12-from-seed run, and at this stage the room is doing exactly what it should: less intervention, more observation, and a whole lot of trust in the process. By now the heavy lifting is done. Structure is built, flowers are formed, resin production is in full swing, and the focus shifts from pushing growth to guiding the finish. That’s why the room still looks familiar on paper — 26°C days, 18°C nights, 60% RH, steady airflow, same rhythm, same calm environment. No dramatic changes, no chasing numbers, no panic-adjusting because a chart says so. Leaf expression remains relaxed, transpiration is steady, and the plants are still telling us the same thing they have all run: conditions are stable, leave us be. That consistency is what got us here. And now we let them finish. ⸻ Less feeding, more finishing This week marks the real transition into the final stretch. The bottles have mostly stepped aside, and the focus now is simple: water, enzymes, patience. At this point the soil still holds more than enough nutrition to carry these plants home. That is one of the biggest advantages of building a living, reusable medium instead of treating soil like an inert substrate. The plant has already been fed. Now the soil gets to do what it was built to do: buffer, break down, recycle, and deliver what remains. So instead of continuing to push feed late into flower, we’ve shifted almost entirely to enzymes. This week the mix is simple: * rainwater * dehumidifier water * Pure Zym * no pH adjustments Landing naturally around 6.8. That is perfectly acceptable here, and more importantly, it is consistent. At this stage we are no longer trying to micromanage every decimal point. We are reading plant response, not chasing bottle charts. The root zone is stable, the soil is active, and the plants are finishing without asking for more. That matters more than forcing a perfect number onto paper. ⸻ Why enzymes matter now This is where enzymes earn their place. Late flower is less about feeding the plant directly and more about helping the soil finish clean. Enzymes work by breaking down dead root matter, leftover organic residue, and unused nutrient material in the substrate. Instead of allowing that material to sit, stall, or accumulate as waste, enzymes help convert it into simpler compounds the soil biology can either recycle or clear out. That matters for three reasons right now: 1. Cleaner root zone The plant is nearing the end of its life cycle. Roots naturally slow, age, and shed. Enzymes help keep that zone cleaner, reducing buildup and preventing the root mass from becoming stagnant. 2. More efficient nutrient recycling There is still food in this soil. Enzymes help unlock what remains, allowing the plant to access residual nutrition already present in the medium instead of continuing to push fresh inputs. 3. Better soil for reuse This matters beyond harvest. Because this soil is being reused, enzymes help start that cleanup process now — breaking down residual organics and preparing the medium to be re-amended instead of discarded. This is not just feeding the end of this run. It is preparing the beginning of the next one in the veggie world outside. ⸻ Drinking less… but still drinking well Water uptake has eased slightly this week, now sitting around 1.5L per plant every 24 hours. That small drop is exactly what we expect here. They are drinking a little less now because the plant is no longer prioritizing rapid structural expansion. Stretch is done. Leaf production has slowed. Vertical growth is over. The plant is no longer spending energy building framework. Now it is ripening. That shift changes demand. Water use naturally tapers as metabolic priorities move away from expansion and toward maturation. Less new biomass is being built, so total uptake softens. But they are still drinking well — and that matters. Because while structural growth has slowed, flower metabolism has not. The plant is still: * moving water * stacking density * swelling calyxes * pushing resin * regulating temperature * transporting stored energy into the flowers That still takes water. So yes, they are drinking less. But 1.5L per day, in late flower, with this amount of biomass and this level of flower production, is still a very healthy sign that the engine is running exactly as it should. ⸻ The room right now This is one of the most rewarding phases of the cycle. The room smells louder. The flowers feel heavier. The frost gets thicker by the day. The color starts to shift. And every plant begins speaking its final language. This is where the run stops being about control and becomes about presence. There is less to do now. But more to notice. This stage is hand-watering, lifting pots, checking weight, scanning leaves, watching posture, tracking fade, peeking into bracts, checking trichomes, noticing who is ahead, who is slower, who is swelling, who is darkening. This is where the work becomes quiet. And this part matters just as much as everything that came before it. ⸻ Bulk, frost, and the final swell This week the flowers are doing what good late flowers should do: they are swelling. Not stretching. Not throwing chaos. Swelling. The buds are putting on that final weight now — denser, tighter, heavier by the day. Calyxes are stacking over calyxes, the flower surface is thickening, and what looked finished a week ago suddenly looks like it still has more to give. That late swell is where so much of the final weight comes from. And GMO is showing exactly why it earned its reputation. The flowers are broad, greasy, and dense. The frost is no longer just visible — it is layered. Trichome coverage has moved past sparkle and into texture. You can see it sitting on the flower surface like sugar pulled too thick. This is where the plant starts looking less like it is flowering and more like it is preserving itself in resin. ⸻ What you are seeing now: pistils, calyxes, and ripening This is the point where flower development becomes easier to read once you know what is changing. Those bright white hairs (pistils) that dominated earlier flower are beginning to darken, curl, and recede. That is normal. Early on, pistils emerge fresh and white as part of active flower development. Their job is simple: reach outward while the flower builds. Now that the flower is mature, many of those pistils have done their job. So they begin to: * oxidize * darken * curl inward * shift from white to orange, amber, or brown That is not decline. That is ripening. At the same time, the calyxes beneath them begin swelling. This is the part many growers miss. As the pistils age and pull inward, the calyxes underneath begin to enlarge and firm up — becoming fuller, rounder, tighter, and more pronounced. That swelling is where density comes from. It is one of the clearest signs the flower is still building real mass even when fresh white hairs begin slowing down. So while the pistils look older, the flower itself is still maturing. That is exactly what we want. ⸻ And then there are the trichomes This is where the real finish happens. Trichomes are not just “frost.” They are the plant’s chemical armor. These resin glands are where cannabinoids, terpenes, and much of the plant’s aromatic complexity are produced and stored. What looks like sparkle is actually the plant concentrating its chemistry onto the flower surface. And late flower is when that chemistry peaks. Right now they are thickening, clouding, and maturing. This is the stage where clear heads begin turning cloudy, volatile terpene content is peaking, and the plant begins shifting from active production into final ripening. That is why this stage matters so much. This is not just visual maturity. This is chemical maturity. ⸻ Special guest in the garden ? This week’s inspection team also included one highly unqualified but deeply committed assistant. A tiny toy fly has been making rounds through the canopy, checking trichome density, inspecting pistil posture, and offering absolutely no useful advice whatsoever. Morale has improved. Yield projections remain unchanged. The inspection reports were biased, but adorable. We’ll allow it. ⸻ Looking ahead to Week 13 Next week will be about watching the finish tighten. Expect: * more visible fade * stronger senescence expression * slower water uptake * deeper aroma * continued calyx swell * more pistil recession * trichomes pushing further cloudy This is where patience matters most. Not every plant will finish on the same day. Not every top will mature at the same speed. And not every signal arrives all at once. Next week is not about deciding harvest. It is about learning how close harvest is becoming. And that is a very different thing. ⸻ Final thoughts Week 12 is one of those weeks that reminds you why the slow parts matter. The feeding. The restraint. The consistency. The observation. The trust. Now it shows back in the flowers. To everyone following along — the longtime growers, the silent lurkers, the curious beginners, the sharp-eyed critics, the day-ones, the new faces, the supporters, the skeptics, the genetics, the breeders, the platform, and everyone spending even a minute here with this run: Thank you. To those who watch closely, cheer loudly, question honestly, and keep showing up week after week — respect. To the OGs who have been here since the first awkward updates and to the new eyes just arriving now: welcome. And to these plants, for doing what they do best with quiet precision and no ego at all— all love. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

📆 Semana 11: La Auto Pablo Escobar ha entrado en la fase de lavado de raíces, preparándose para la cosecha. Durante esta etapa, se suspende la fertilización para eliminar restos de nutrientes acumulados en el sustrato, lo que mejora el sabor y la calidad del producto final. Los cogollos mantienen su densidad y la resina sigue brillante, con tricomas que comienzan a tornarse ámbar, señal clara de que la madurez está próxima. El aroma se percibe más limpio, listo para la fase final. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Es wächst alles wunderbar vor sich hin🍀

Still looking a little bit phosphorus deficient on the girls, one of the. Big girls where not looking as good especially one, started introducing mammoth p and they seem to enjoy it and recovered!

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 💚 Woche 6 im Vergleichsgrow! Bio Tabs NL. vs. Weedefix (Stuttgart/ Germany) Hier im Weedefix Grow haben wir nun nach 42 Tagen des Einpflanzens eine Höhe von 69 cm Erreicht. Im Wachtum lässt sich vermutlich beobachten, dass die Weedefix Komponenten etwas mehr performen, da die Pflanze insgesamt etwas buschiger und schneller im Wuchs wirkt. Dennoch hat die Biotabs Pflanze ordentlich aufgeholt, so dass beide fast gleich auf liegen. Es bleibt spannend! Heute geht es ab in die Blüte! Diese Woche, habe ich einmal mit Wasser und 5ml Wachstum (Ferment mit Melasse und Hefeextrakten) gegossen. Ansonsten nur Wasser. Und es zeichnet sich weiterhin ein stärker werdendes Aroma ab. Die Bedingungen im Growschrank sind Top! ————— 🌞 Temp: 21 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 58% VPD: 0,75 kPa 💡ppfd: 330 mpm —————

GIVE THIS GROW A THUMBS UP 👍 WEEK #2 DAY 9: She was stunted day 6 & is recovering from that currently . She is in a 5x5 with 3 autos between 35-42 days old . The plan is to veg this single Cereal Milk out to fill this entire 5x5 once my Autos are harvested . This is my first run with this cultivar & breeder however it was an easy choice considering I adore the taste , smell, & smoke of the strain! Week 1 issues: The tents VPD was out of whack . Due to the VPD being out of proportion slowed/stunted growth occurred equally across all 4 plants in the tent . Plants showed deficiencies of CalMag and interveinal yellowing , necrosis leaf spots , reddening leaf petioles & leaf stems slowly progressing in the worst affected plants to red leaf veins & lastly droplets of condensation on the leaves (plants were sweating) Anyways after I fixed the VPD issues , I added a makeshift dome for humidity retention of the Cereal Milk & 3 days later which is today she has added 2 new nodes almost catching up to where she would be with normal healthy unstunted growth at day #9. She was transplanted from her starter pot last night into a 2 gallon with plenty of dry amendments mixed in for a 6-8 week veg. I’m debating on scrogging this plant or LST & Supercropping the SHIT out of this plant . I’ve never scrogged before and am not welcoming any new learning curves at the moment which is my main reason not to even though I think it may be the biggest help to filling this tent & “supporting” the enormous load of bud sites I am planning to grow . I worry about to inconvenience of defoliating & training branches down without being able to get around the outside of my tent given its location in a corner . If I had anticipated wanting to grow a single 2lb + plant when determining my grow location I would’ve placed it more ” openly “. If I can think up a work around to canopy maintenance so that I can keep it clean & by the books I’ll quit complaining & try it . Otherwise she’ll be LST’d & Supercropped OR topped and mainlined . Day 14 END OF WEEK #2 I’ve added remote temperature & humidity monitoring/controller. Now I can monitor the dips & swings while making adjustments to better dial things in . (Just trying it on for size here , for full disclosure I am not in love with it & if I can not modify what it is that is bothering my existence I WILL be returning this unit AND purchasing another brand with the capabilities I am looking for the connectivity for this specific unit I am trying was a BIG deciding factor for me but all in all is not enough to make me settle on this one if I can potentially have it all. . Odds are highly leaning towards returning this unit .) Finally raised the pot to level with the older girls in flower currently . I was wrong when I reported in setup that she was “30 inches “ from the light . She in fact was 35 inches‼️away so I raised her to be 26 inches from the light by placing a 1 gallon bucket beneath her . I WILL NOT LET THE MID-END OF FLOWER & DRYING to cause my run to get derailed

Ive had a huge harvest from this small plant

The ladies are doing great. A week or two more and then I am switching to 12/12. I topped the heck out of these girls, so just going to let them recover before the switch. As always thank you for your support. 😀

the harvest is every time an hard work, i do trimming when buds are wet, all buds are so much sticky. So i make those dry without the banches. i'll waiting 10 days for the bigger ones

Day 64 the queens got some fertilizer 💪😃👍 Day 65 that massive smell and these juicy buds 😃👌
