420Fastbuds FBT2312/Week1 Week 1 update on these new sprouts. Been a week since they sprouted and so far seems good. I did switch from misting the top soil with my sprayer to feeding 500ml of water and 1/4tsp/gal strength General Hydroponics Calimagic about every other day. Started seeing some rust spots so I'll keep a close eye and make sure it doesn't get any worse. Over all Happy Growing

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 3 Report Early Vegetative Phase (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 🌱 Growth Stage Overview We are officially in Week 3 since germination, which places the plants in early vegetative development, even though this run is being done 12/12 from seed. Growth remains measured and intentional, exactly as expected under this approach. All plants look healthy, lush, and stable, with no signs of stress. What stands out this week is the difference in growth rhythm between phenotypes: • One plant is clearly leading, already showing fully developed true leaves with three fingers, moving confidently toward the fourth. • One plant is developing at a slower pace, still focusing on building structure and leaf mass. • One sits right in between, balanced and steady. This kind of variation is normal and welcome at this stage. Same genetics, same environment — different expressions. Time will tell which one becomes the champion, but for now, all of them are doing exactly what they should. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Climate Control The environment remains consistent and stable, which is key at this phase: • Relative Humidity: ~75–80% • Day Temperature: ~27 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Light Distance: ~1.78 m from canopy • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow is still kept soft and minimal, just enough to refresh the air without disturbing young plants. At this stage, we prioritize calm conditions over aggressive air movement. ⸻ 💡 Lighting The plants continue under the Future of Grow Air Grow Pro III Hyper Red, controlled via the Nova 2C Pro. The light intensity and distance are intentionally conservative, encouraging steady development rather than forced growth. With 12/12 from seed, patience is essential — we’re building structure now so the stretch and early flower development later can happen cleanly and naturally. ⸻ Substrate & Containers • Containers: 15 L plastic bags • Medium: ProMix Even though top growth appears slow, what’s happening below the surface is far more important right now. Root systems are expanding, branching, and learning the container. This is often invisible work — but it sets the pace for everything that follows. ⸻ Nutrition – Philosophy & Application We’re continuing with a hybrid organic–mineral approach, which is something I personally believe in. For me, this offers the best of both worlds: • the precision and consistency of mineral nutrition, • combined with the biological support and resilience associated with organic inputs. Current Nutrition (Light but Consistent): • Plagron Terra Grow (base nutrition) • Power Roots (root stimulation) • Pure Zym (enzyme support) • Sugar Royal (metabolic & microbial support) • Vita Race (foliar & vitality support) • TDS / EC: ~1.0 • pH: ~6.8 The feeding strategy remains steady and repeatable. No chasing trends, no unnecessary changes. The plants are responding with deep green color, strong leaf posture, and balanced growth, which tells us the nutrition is doing its job. Vita Race is being applied confidently, without fear, as part of a proactive approach to plant vitality and stress resistance. ⸻ Watering • Volume: ~0.4 L per plant • Frequency: every 24 hours Watering remains controlled and deliberate, ensuring moisture availability without oversaturation. This supports oxygen availability in the root zone and encourages healthy root exploration. ⸻ Observations & Interpretation Growth is slow — and that’s expected. Running 12/12 from seed means plants prioritize root establishment and internal signaling before expressing visible vertical growth. What matters now is not size, but balance. Leaf color is excellent, structure is clean, and there are no signs of deficiency or toxicity. The differences between plants are genetic expression, not environmental error. Personally, I believe that below the soil surface, things are moving fast — just not in ways we can immediately see. Over the next couple of weeks, I expect a noticeable acceleration in visible development as root systems finish establishing themselves. ⸻ What to Expect / What Not to Expect What to Expect: • Gradual acceleration in growth over the next 1–2 weeks • Continued phenotype variation • Increased leaf complexity and structure • Stable transition toward early flower behavior due to 12/12 What Not to Expect: • Explosive vegetative growth • Uniform plant size • Immediate stretch or flowering signals This is a long game, not a sprint. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude & Community Huge thanks to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL (artist & collaborator) • Plagron • Future of Grow for supporting this journey and making this collaboration possible. And as always, thank you to the community — the supporters, the critics, the curious, the long-time followers, and the newcomers. Everyone is welcome here. Every opinion has value. Criticism helps us grow. Everything shared in this diary reflects my personal experience, my choices, my lessons, and yes — my mistakes. It’s a pleasure to share them openly so we can all learn together. ⸻ 🌟 Week 3 Summary • Environment stable • Nutrition consistent • Roots developing • Phenotypes expressing differently • Plants healthy, calm, and promising The Nectar Drip continues its quiet build — patient, intentional, and full of potential.

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. FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 💡 P.S.2 – PPFD Progression Explained You may notice in some of the photos a reference board showing weeks and PPFD levels, so here’s a quick explanation to give context. For plants that were run under 18/6, the PPFD progression looked like this: • Week 1: ~300 PPFD • Week 2: ~400 PPFD Once we transitioned and aligned everything under 12/12, the light intensity was gradually increased to match plant maturity: • Week 3: ~500 PPFD • Current: moving between 500–600 PPFD, depending on plant height and development From here on, the approach is simple and intuitive: the plants grow toward the light, and we allow the PPFD to rise naturally as the canopy gets closer and stronger. We don’t force intensity — we let the plants tell us when they’re ready. This progressive increase helps avoid stress, encourages healthy structure, and allows the plants to adapt smoothly to higher light levels over time.

I did get some nasty burns, but as you can see on the last picture they look way better now. They seem to grow fine. Today on the 22th i watered them for the first time after watering them 11 days ago while putting them in the 2l pots. (500-600ml each plant) The cripple still is slower but it seems like it also recovered. On the 22th the Special Queen #1 seed did germinate and on the 23th the root did come out so i did put it in the 2l Pot, but this time without Bio Tabs, i only did use mycotrex (2g), the rest will come with the 11l pot then. I think i over watered it a little bit since the new leaves are hanging a little bit (the first leaves did hang from the beginning so i doubt that is water related with those) I also noticed today for the first time, when i open my tent it does already smell pretty tasty. Didn't thought it would happen that fast. Also i already learned a lot. Even tho i tried my best to inform myself from the beginning, i made many mistakes which i will never do again. You can prepare yourself as you want, you will still have some failures and that is fine. So im not ashamed of my little plants by now. I will make them survive and a great final result. Looking forward to the next weeks. /edit Last day of the week. There were Roots at the bottom of two pots, so i decided to plant them into the final 11l Pots, i also added biotabs (little bit less since both had some of it from the beginning. Everything went fine. The next days i will give them slowly more ppfd and next week i think i will top them and also tie them a little bit down.

I decided to add a bit more of the base bloom nutrients cause this girl is just begging for it, I feel it. Also the healthiest girl I ever grew so yeah im hyped to see how she will do in the next few weeks, about 2 more weeks then we will start with Overdrive, after that I wont be able to tell that its the same plant. Btw shes running through 10l of water in about 3-4 days so yeah thirsty hahah.

Two weeks flew by, the stretch is on now. Defoliation at day 10 and I’ll do another in a week for the final strip. These unicorns and the Cactus Breath x Cherry Punch #3 are setting up nicely and should produce some nice flowers.

The super skunk feminised stands at 62cm tall with bushy growth. The growth this week has ceased with most of her energy being used for bud formation. Her leaves are dulling. Calyxes beginning to swell. Ph remains at 5.9 as she is fed when the her pot is light enough. Overall the super skunk looks good!

// Didn't even have air filtration set up until about 4 days ago, the results have been amazing. Also realized that the water I was mixing my elite nutrients with initally was too high of dosage, so I watered all of them yesterday with the correct amount of nutes and now they're growing like crazy! Topped all of the plants yesterday as well. (11-21-17). // Switched my 600w topshelflight LED to flower mode and changed the light cycle from 18-12 to 12-12. Plan on flushing out all the plants with plain water phed at 6.8 soon but may not, we'll see. Either way plants looking way better then I ever expected them to be for my first time growing. Safe to say I'm hooked! (11-24-17) // Watered all of them yesterday (11-27); half with RO water & the rest with my nutes water. Starting to grow very quickly since I charged my LED to bloom setting! Tallest Black Domina is almost 17 in now. They seem to be adjusting nicely to the new 12-12 schedule.

Sensi Seeds Jack Herer 6th week of veg completed 14th Jan 2020 Welcome back , Now even tho this girl isn't really all that impressive size wise , she is very very pretty with those Indica leaves and lush green colour. You can see where I topped her awhile back has now developed into two gorgeous Tops. I gave her a feed of some of the Dr Greenthumbs High tea i brewed up and she lapped it up as it contains everything your Soil needs to remain super healthy. That is all for this week I shall be back again next time same Bat channel 😄
