Welcome to my Crocketts Confidential diary. I am currently week 5-6 with 5 plants in a smaller 2x3 grow tent. I currently have a 150 true watt LED light about 20 inchs overtop. These girls are something different. Very short distance between nodes. The smell is also unlike anything I have experienced. These girls are putting off a smell stronger than my flowering tent, its crazy! Almost a earthy/skunky smell. Im excited to see how these will respond once we hit the 12/12 cycle. Before that though I want there to be a somewhat significant stretch in veg. UPDATE: I changed out the blurple blue/red LED for a one with more of a fuller spectrum, and honest to god they exploded within hours. Excited/anxious/nervous to see what happens over the next few days, I'm sure this tent will be full very soon now.

🌱 Day 36 - Start of Second Week Flowering 🌱 Hello growing friends! 🌿 Today marks the beginning of the second week of the flowering phase, and I’m very happy with how the buds are developing so far. 🌸✨ Since this is my first grow, I’m truly amazed by how fascinating these plants are. It’s an exciting journey! 🌱🤩😎 Last week, I struggled with yellow leaves and a calcium & magnesium deficiency. Fortunately, with the help of BioBizz Calmag, things are slowly improving. 🍃💪 Currently, I’ve set the humidity to 45%—according to my research, this is ideal for minimizing the risk of mold. 💧🚫🌿 🌱 Day 42 - Last Day of the Second Flowering Week 🌱 Hello everyone! 🌿 Today marks the last day of the second week of flowering, and I’ve made some updates to my routine. I’ve increased the nutrients to BioBizz Grow (3ml), BioBizz Bloom (2ml), and BioBizz TopMax (1.5ml). The plants are growing well and have recovered from the calcium deficiency. 🍃💪 I’m continuing to add a bit of BioBizz CalMag to prevent any future deficiencies. 🌱✨ This week, I also added some soil to the pots, as the soil level had flattened out quite a bit. I topped up each pot with about 1.5 liters of soil.

Had a lot going on this week so the plants didnt get any care or maintenance at all other than just checking on the water level a couple times. They need some major defoliation which I wanted to do this week but procrastination is the vibes currently. Will probably get some done next week.... the plants are looking good and most of them are bushing out pretty nice. They dont seem to be stretching as much as they normally do by this time, but they are transitioning to flower. Will probably do a flush and water change soon since they haven't had one in over a month. I'm just anxious to see some frosty buds at this point.

Muy buenas mi gentee Por aquí otra semana más con estas increíbles plantas #sherbetz de @artgenetix que vienen con una forma muy top. Color y aroma muy marcado. Ya hemos empezado con los azúcares e hidratos de carbono para ayudar la floración. Riegos con fertis solo una vez por semana, el resto de riegos con solo agua regulada. Veremos cómo siguen la semana que viene.

well short of it is, i overfed boom mix and now there is a K toxicity which always expresses as a magnesium deficiency. So I decided to give the plant the magnesium it needs to process the K. Plants look like they are recovering already. NEVER FLUSH if you are growing organically.

Very good run, sorry I haven’t been updating her but I broke my phone and kinda forgot about this site when I got a new one since it’s not an app. Happy growing everyone, I put pics and videos on my Instagram of her and the others I’ve been chopping recently. At least one plant a month is the goal! Eaegifts on ig

She has her own room now! Inside this VIVOSUN 5x5 the canopy is being supplied with 35,000 - 55,000 lux (650 - 950 ppfd) by the spiderfarmer SE7000. I also installed a UV-B fluorescent light on a timer to run for 30 minutes before the se7000 turns on. I did some light defoliating and retied some outer branches to open up the canopy. Feeding following the general hydroponics 10 part table for late blooming/ripening - subbed liquid koolbloom for dry koolbloom at an introductory rate of 1/4 tsp/gal. Also added GH Ripen @ 4ml/gal.

🌱 Lemon Cherry Gelato Week 5 — 12/12 From Seed Stage: Pre-Flower / First Flower (Transitional Week) This week marks the true transition point. The plants are simultaneously vegetating, stretching, and initiating flower signals. Growth is active in all directions, and structure is beginning to lock in. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Structure & Growth • Height: ~25 cm (± a little, depending on individual) • Overall shape: flat, round, bushy canopy • Internodal spacing: tight and controlled • Branching: strong, symmetrical, and responsive The plants are opening beautifully. Branches are asserting themselves naturally, with no forcing — just guidance. Uniformity across the girls is striking. Similar structure, similar pace, similar “language.” That consistency speaks volumes about both genetics and environment. ⸻ ✋ Training Focus (More Intensive, Still Gentle) This week we increased training in intention, not aggression: • Leaf tucking and bending only • No topping, no cutting • Leaves are guided under growth tips to promote lateral branching Response has been excellent. Each adjustment is followed by visible compensation and expansion. The plants want to branch — we’re simply making space for it. ⸻ 🌱 Root Activity Roots are now visibly emerging at the soil surface — a clear sign of: • Healthy root pressure • Active microbial and enzymatic processes • A plant fully connected to its medium This is exactly what we want to see at this stage. ⸻ ✨ Plant Health & “Mood” • Leaves: healthy green, good turgor • Stems: thickening, flexible, well-supported • Resin: early stickiness already present • Overall response: calm, strong, cooperative Everything indicates balance rather than stress. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Update — Under-Canopy Introduction By the end of this week, under-canopy lighting is being connected. Why now? • Plants are passing key developmental signals • We want them to recognize photons from below early • This helps guide structure, awareness, and later flower density We are not forcing PPFD. We are letting the plants grow into the light, learning where energy exists above and below. ⸻ Nutrient Adjustment — Cal-Mag Introduced This week we introduce Cal-Mag into the recipe. Reason: Our water source is a blend of: • Humidifier water • Rainwater Both are naturally low in calcium and magnesium. As demand increases during stretch and early flower signaling, supplementation becomes necessary to: • Support cell wall development • Prevent future deficiencies • Maintain structural strength during expansion This is a preventive, not reactive adjustment. ⸻ 🌸 Autoflowers × 12/12 From Seed For anyone still questioning this approach: These plants are the answer. Branching. Structure. Vigor. Uniformity. They are doing everything they should be doing — and doing it beautifully. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next (Week 6) • Continued stretch with stronger apical definition • Clearer pre-flower expression • Increased lateral dominance • Canopy filling outward rather than upward • Light demand gradually increasing Training will remain observational and responsive, not aggressive. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words Thank you to everyone following along, observing, learning, and sharing this space. All major observations this week are fully photo- and video-documented — from canopy to stem to soil — so you can see what’s being described. We move forward calmly, attentively, and with respect for the plant. Let them shine 🌱✨ Training Philosophy: Why Less Touch Often Equals More Structure At this stage, training is not about control — it’s about communication. Every time we touch a plant, it responds hormonally. Too much intervention can interrupt its own decision-making process, especially during transitional weeks like pre-flower. By tucking and bending instead of cutting, we allow the plant to: • Maintain uninterrupted growth momentum • Redistribute auxins naturally rather than abruptly • Strengthen stems through adaptive response • Decide where and how to branch based on light signals Less touch doesn’t mean less guidance. It means clearer signals and cleaner structure. When the environment is stable and the plant is healthy, minimal intervention often results in: • More uniform branching • Stronger symmetry • Reduced stress expression • Better long-term flower support In short: We don’t force shape — we make space, and the plant does the rest. Week 5 Veg/pre-flower | 8×8 Tent | Master Conditions 🌍 External Environment (Context) • Outside temperature: ~5 °C • Outside RH: 92–96% (very high humidity) • Strong seasonal pressure influencing internal stability ⸻ 🌡️ Internal Tent Conditions • Tent temperature: ~21.8 °C (noted drop due to cold external temps) • Tent RH: ~58% → Very good considering outside conditions ⸻ 💨 Airflow & Circulation • Primary airflow: Bottom → top → wall return • Pattern: Full-room vortex circulation • Additional fans: Central airflow to break blind spots and mix layers • Goal: No stagnant pockets, uniform VPD across canopy ⸻ 💧 Water Source & Rationale • Water: Dehumidifier water + rainwater • Base EC: force • Systems designed to support plant intelligence, not override it FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

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.

The phenotype named "Amnesia" was harvested at day 66. She was the smaller of the two, though she was frosty like no other. The phenotype named "Gold" is much larger in both plant and bud structure. She will go on for at least another week in hope of her frosting up some more. The buds are equally dense, but nonetheless there is quite the variation within this 5-pack of seeds. They seem more like cousins than sisters. But I am just a newbie, and this is my first grow, so take it with a grain of salt. Also: This week I started adding a few hours of UVB every day (just a 25w bulb for reptiles)

Clones termination. Mom's flowering. Yep, this is an example of how it should not be done. The clones survived two cases of tip rot and a transplant after cleaning the tips. They finally developed some roots, but still didn’t make it. I kept only one, but I need two. So… the mom is about to start flowering after stretching, and I cut eight branches again to make a second clone. After some bending and tying, the mom returned to the flower room. If your light has a flower mode, now is the time to turn it on. The fast stretch period is over, so add some red light. It helps with yield. This time we’re going to do it right, using the experience from the first attempt at cloning. Check the clones 2–5 times a day. Keep the propagator lid closed at all times, and don’t let water touch the cloning medium. Also, the cubes shouldn’t be soaking wet, just moist. This balance between water content and airflow is crucial for future roots.
