Flushing week :)

Gushers is growing great under the Spider Farmer G5000/UVR40 lights, in the Athena blended line nutrition. She is bulking and, and smelling good. Her colas are developing nice, and a good frost layer. Everything is looking really good.

'Only' 14cm/5.5" growth this week. She is now above my lights 😂 I deliberately did not FIM or train any of the plants in this grow, just to get back to basics and to make a final decision for future grows.

Not been active over the past 2/3 weeks, all is now in flowering stage week 1 - day 5 Had a few temps/RH issues but should hopefully be all sorted now got s dehumidifier and I’ve turned off 1 Mars hydro, and lowered then Lumi led to 250w. Just a video and a few snaps. Added the TNB co2 canister and it was a dud waste of money - going to try a simple home made recipe for co2 see if that works Thanks🙌🏻🍁💯

Questa gorilla cookie cresce ben forte..spero arrivi al termine senza nessun intoppo.... Siamo arrivati alla fine della3 settimana. Tt procedere alla grande

3/18 🦍🍓Z🍓🍑👍👍👍 gave them water and cal mag yesterday. They are doing good strawberry gorilla is a little close to the light but I also have the light at 91 W until I see some burning. I’m not goi raise it up because of the other two plants in there, but as long as they’re cool and I don’t see any damage should be OK. 3/19💦💦💦🦍🍓🍓👍 3/21🍓🦍🍓🍑💦💦 A little more than 1 gallon split between the four of them the CBD did not need a lot of water. She’s growing really slow. There may be something wrong with the soil because I have too many plants in there she may be absorbing the humidity while the other ones are drying out. It’s a weird dynamic when you have four different plants growing in the same tent one seems to dry out faster and the other one will hold water 👍👍👍👨‍🌾 3/23🍓🍓🦍🍑cbd💦💦💦

Interesting grow I thought. Is it worth adding a co2 emitter in an open house or is it a waist. Mind u there r 3 people and 2 dogs when the house is full

When i harvest it it looked very good in quality but it took some time to get dry so it maybe had a bad drying so thats why.

Not much to say, by the end of this week I will defoliate. She is running fibe without any problem so far

~english below~ Beide Pflanzen entwickeln sich - trotz des nicht so guten Wetters - prächtig. Topf #2 ist nun 49 cm hoch und Topf #3 67 cm, der Größenunterschied bleibt stabil. Es entwickeln sich mehr und mehr Blüten, wie auf den Videos zu erkennen ist. Da es immer noch einigermaßen windig ist und ich nicht so recht weiß, was ich den beiden Pflanzen zumuten kann, hab ich beide mittlerweile mit Bambus Stäben abgestützt. Und durstiger sind sie geworden, mit einem Liter alle 3 Tage kommen die beiden aber aus. Der Duft wird auch etwas intensiver auf dem Balkon. Aber dank meiner Blumenkästen welche mit gut duftenden Blumen bepflanzt wurden, ist in der Umgebung nichts von meinen zwei Hübschen zu riechen. english Both plants are developing splendidly - despite the not so good weather. Pot #2 is now 49 cm high and pot #3 67 cm, the size difference remains stable. More and more flowers are developing, as can be seen in the videos. As it is still quite windy and I don't really know what I can expect from the two plants, I have now supported both with bamboo sticks. And they have become thirstier, but they can both get by with a liter every 3 days. The scent is also getting a little more intense on the balcony. But thanks to my flower boxes, which are planted with fragrant flowers, you can't smell anything of my two beauties in the area.

This plant is a beast I finally got the nutrients down and got rid of the light color growth it was having the plant would have been great to have a clone it is definitely something worth growing again

Gave the ladies their first dose of nutrients. I made sure they were very diluted. they loved it. When I came to check on them, they were all praying. Yay.

Gracias a @James, Royal Queen Seeds y MarshHydro sin ellos no sería posible hacer este diario. La Tropical Mirage es la última creación de los maestros de la cría de Royal Queen Seeds.

Consigue aqui tu lámpara: https://marshydro.eu/products/mars-hydro-ts-3000-led-grow-light/ 📆 Semana 8: Creo que va a ser la última semana que aplique nutrientes, los cogollos se han hinchado mucho esta semana. Finalmente quedaron cargadisimas de resina y con unos tonos morados que impresionan, el lavado de raices va a ser facil, estoy deseando cosechar esta variedad 😁⛽ Me hubiera gustado cubrir mas la carpa pero debido a la mudanza y posterior adaptación no ha sido posible.

piante ancora stressate spegnerò la luce per 24 ore... se trascorse le 24 ore staranno meglio più chiare e rilassate le manderò in fioritura... ho dato 1 ml di bio grow a un esemplare su dieci

W10F and the end is near. The bud sites are small and internodes are spaced far apart. I neglected them and let the light intensity get too high during stretch. They are pretty frosty though. Fade has started and they are displaying nice colours

🌱 GMO Cookies — Week 5 (12/12 From Seed) Late Veg / Pre-Flower Transition General Vibe The girls are feeling amazing this week — calmly exploding, super elegant, and bushing up beautifully. Structure is compact yet full, with a very balanced expression across the canopy. No rush, no stress — just plants doing plant things. Training & Structure We’re continuing with very gentle LST — mostly bending and positioning leaves rather than aggressive branch work. The goal is simple: • Open light pathways • Encourage lateral growth • Let the plants decide their final shape They’re responding incredibly well: tight internodes, bushy profiles, and strong posture. You can clearly see the progression in the photos from the beginning to the end of the week. Growth Stage Observation By the end of this week, we’re starting to see early pre-flower signs. Nothing dramatic yet, but the transition is clearly beginning. ➡️ Next week’s update should start showing more defined flower development. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Water Strategy This week we introduced CalMag Pro — not because the plants are asking for it, but as a proactive step heading into flower. Why now? • We’re using collected rainwater + dehumidifier water, which is extremely soft • Before stacking base nutrients and supplements, we need to build a proper mineral foundation • This ensures stability and availability later, especially during stretch and early flower demand This is preparation, not correction. Autopot Zone We’re running two feeding zones in the tent (6 plants total), which is why you’ll see different measurements in the diary photos: • Autopot zone: mineral-based recipe only • EC: 2.29 • pH: 6.0 • (Organics don’t play well with Autopots — keeping it clean and stable) • Solution temperature: ~22–23°C across both zones • Slightly warmer on purpose to support root activity during colder weather ⸻ 🌡️ Environment • Humidity: ~58% • Temperature: ~21°C Outside conditions have been tough this week (4–5°C with 90–98% humidity), so honestly, we’re happy with how stable the room is holding. More importantly, the plants are reacting calmly and positively, which always matters more than chasing textbook numbers. CO₂ remains unchanged at ~666 ppm — steady and sufficient for this stage. We’ll reassess during flower. ⸻ 💡 Lighting & PPFD • Top light: 100% • PPFD: ~700–850 (depending on plant size) The girls are praying to the light — no pushing, no forcing. We let them grow how they want to grow. Under-Canopy Lighting (LumiFlora) By the end of this week, we’re turning on the under-canopy lighting for the first time. Why now? • Plants have grown past the fixtures • It’s time for them to start recognizing photons from all directions • This prepares lower growth for the coming stretch and flower set We’re starting very gently at ~30% power, then increasing slowly based on plant response. No shock, no rush — just layered light introduced with intention. Huge thanks to LumiFlora for supporting this phase with under-canopy lighting. ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap (For Newcomers) • 12/12 from seed • Gentle, observation-first approach • No aggressive training or forcing • Focus on structure, balance, and plant response • Slow, intentional buildup heading into flower You can jump in right here and be fully up to speed. ⸻ What to Expect Next Week Expect: • Clearer pre-flowers • Stretch beginning to express • Training adjustments as structure reveals itself Don’t expect: • Heavy defoliation • Sudden pushes or drastic changes • Forcing the plants into anything they’re not ready for We observe, adapt, and respond — always. ⸻ 🙏 Thanks Massive thanks to everyone following along, sharing energy, and supporting the diary — and welcome to everyone new joining the journey. As always: Growers helping growers. Trust the plant. Trust the process. Much love 🌱 👽 New team member Meet Mr. Baggy Our new fluffy alien/beaver/whatever-he-is friend, won through a Grow Diaries contest. Expect to see him around — he’s officially part of the grow now. 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.

This week we are only in cruise control, we did the last irrigation with fertilizers and we are planning the flushing for the next week. We also had problems with humidity due to the weather. We don't have a dehumidifier, so we try other homemade techniques to solve the situation. The flowers have gained some weight and are changing the smell. We are excited for the harvest.

First flowering week!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
